CHRISTIAN WHITON: You STILL don't get it, Liz! If voters really believed Trump is an evil 'Orange Jesus' they wouldn't have fired you
Christian Whiton is a former senior advisor in the Trump and George W. Bush administrations.
After suffering a humiliating defeat, outgoing Congresswoman Liz Cheney is carving out a second career as commander-in-chief of the Trump derangement and hysteria division of the Washington establishment.
Speaking to her fellow globalists at a DC convention on Monday, Cheney claimed that a fellow GOPer had secretly confided to her that Republicans grudgingly did the bidding of ‘the Orange Jesus,’ President Donald Trump, when they agreed to object to the 2020 election results.
Cheney then went on to claim Trump and even his supporters are a threat to the Constitutional Republic.
America’s ‘freedom…only survives if we recognize threats when they arise. And today, we are facing such a threat. It's a threat we have never faced before – it’s a former president who is attempting to unravel our Constitutional Republic.’
‘Bit by bit, excuse by excuse, we're putting Donald Trump above the law. We are rendering indefensible conduct normal, legal, and appropriate — as though he were a king,’ she preached.
Outgoing Congresswoman Liz Cheney is carving out a second career as commander-in-chief of the Trump derangement and hysteria division of the Washington establishment
If only she would shut up already.
Cheney’s claims are so ludicrous and detached from fact, one must wonder if she really believes her own propaganda.
First of all, with RealClearPolitics averaging President Joe Biden’s approval at just 42% — almost as low as the Democrat-run Congress — the only ones with an incentive to steal anything will be Democrats.
Second, if voters agreed with Cheney’s contention that Trump is an evil influence, they wouldn’t have fired Cheney and her small band of anti-Trump contemporaries in the GOP.
Few deny that Trump is a divisive force in American politics, or that the scenes of the January 6 riots were tragic, or that Trump has been bonkers at times in his challenges to the integrity of the 2020 vote.
But Republican voters simply don’t buy the claim that Trump or those who support the movement that he built are trying to take down democracy.
In fact, many voters think reformist Republicans are trying to make government more accountable to what the people actually want, hardly an anti-democratic sentiment.
While Trump’s supporters may see him as some kind of ‘Orange Jesus,’ his detractors see him as Orange Satan. And it’s hard to use facts to argue against someone’s religion.
If one looks at the timeline of Trump’s rise and fall, it’s clear that what truly made Cheney and her allies so deranged and hysterical about the man was not the methods he used to try and hold onto the presidency, but his successes in office and the message he used to get there in the first place.
Trump built a new winning coalition by opposing the globalist mono-party in Washington that Cheney embodies.
Again, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, architect of the prolonged Iraq War, won’t be on the ballot in November.
Specifically, Trump replaced globalism with patriotic nationalism.
Voters saw that so-called ‘free trade agreements’ often meant exporting our manufacturing to countries like China that don’t play by the rules.
While Trump’s supporters may see him as some kind of ‘Orange Jesus,’ his detractors see him as Orange Satan. And it’s hard to use facts to argue against someone’s religion
Voters saw that policies benefitting Wall Street and Big Tech were hurting the less fancy towns across America, which faced decay, crime, addiction, and rising suicides.
Voters saw that our national security establishment was great at harassing Americans trying to take a domestic flight, but terrible at winning foreign wars or even defining victory.
They saw that Washington spent hundreds of billions of dollars in places like Afghanistan and Iraq and still somehow managed to decrease American prestige and power.
Trump recognized all of this and sided with Middle America against the permanent Washington professional and the coastal elite.
He also refused to allow the progressive media to set the rules of debate or decide what topics were off limits.
Republican politicians like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and a crop of other officeholders and aspirants have adopted the best of the Trump.
That is what truly drives Cheney nuts.
Trump undermined the pillars of the corporate Republicanism she fundamentally believes, playing nice with the media, Wall Street and Big Tech in the hope of an occasional table scrap.
He would not go along with the charade of pumping economic growth through phony free trade deals and neo-imperialism rather than domestic free market reforms.
Trump defeated all of this.
Even more galling to Cheney: he changed the right by showing this new path to success.
The New Right he created will long outlast its architect.
But Cheney and the other NeverTrumpers fight on -- today against Trump, tomorrow against whoever seems disinclined to return to the failures of the Bush-Romney era.
There will always be a cottage industry for anti-Republican ‘Republicans,’ which is Cheney’s play since she is soon gone from Congress. She is honing her skills to be a MSNBC contributor or the like.
Even though 70% of Wyoming Republican voters decided she should not represent them, it seems like the Washington swamp will always have a Cheney.
The best people come and go from Washington, but the swampiest of the swamp critters never leave.
Liz Cheney is the perfect example of that.

Dick Morris: Hillary Is Channeling Bill to Run for President in '24 - But This Story Has a Happy Ending
In my new book “The Return: Trump’s Big 2024 Comeback,” I predict Hillary Clinton will run for president in ’24 and outline the steps I think she’s going to take to set up her candidacy.
Do I know Clinton or what? Every day now she seems to be reading my book and following the game plan I outline just like she used to when I was working for her.
But don’t freak out! This story ends with her losing to Trump by a lot!
Basically, Hillary is going to channel Bill Clinton and try to run for president in 2024 the same way he ran in 1992.
Her husband ran as the Democratic Party was recovering from shell shock after the massive defeats of Walter Mondale and Mike Dukakis in the preceding years. Bill capitalized on that bitter feeling of defeat by saying that he would move the Democratic Party back to the center and appeal to a new group of voters. He enlisted my help in doing so.
To prove his moderation, he left the campaign trail during the primaries to return to Arkansas to sign a death warrant allowing the state’s first execution in decades. He required teachers to take competency tests and fired those who failed. He advocated building a wall on the southern border and in fact built almost 200 miles of it. He more than doubled the number of deportations of illegal immigrants.
And, in one of the most classic moments of campaign history, he criticized black activist and singer Sister Souljah for saying, after the Los Angeles riots of 1992, “If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?”
Now, Hillary is looking to capitalize on the likely defeat the Democrats are facing in the coming congressional elections as surely as Bill capitalized on Mondale’s and Dukakis’ losses.
To position herself to do so, she is dropping comments that point to a moderating of her views, such as her statement this week that the American people do not want open borders and her comment a few weeks ago that both parties should tone down their rhetoric after President Joe Biden called MAGA Republicans “semi-fascists.”
She won’t make an overt move to run until after the Democrats lose the congressional and Senate elections this year. After that wipe-out, party leaders will force Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race and announce that he will not seek re-election. Until then, Clinton will pose as a party loyalist who supports Biden and wouldn’t dream of running if he is in the race.
But after he announces that he’s not running again, expect her to come out as a “new Democrat” just like Bill did, saying that she represents the only way to free the party from the quagmire of defeat.
Once Biden is forced out of the race, ultra-leftist candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and even New York Rep. AOC will poll near the top of the heap in the Democratic primary field.
Party stalwarts, fearful of a Trump return to office, will beg Clinton to intercede and run for president just as she did in 2016 to stop Sanders. She’ll accede to their entreaties and run in the primaries as a moderate alternative.
But she’ll lose most of the primaries because the party’s base has moved so far to the left. However, the establishment will step in to rescue her by awarding her a disproportionate share of the appointed super delegates.
In November 2024, however, she will lose badly to Trump. The worsening economy will seal the Democratic Party’s fate and her ongoing scandals and basic lack of integrity will come back to haunt her.
And Donald Trump will be the 47th — as well as the 45th — president of the United States.
The End.

A Look At The Intrinsic Value Of Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC)
In this article we are going to estimate the intrinsic value of Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) by taking the forecast future cash flows of the company and discounting them back to today's value. This will be done using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. Believe it or not, it's not too difficult to follow, as you'll see from our example!
Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company's value, and a DCF is just one method. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model.
The Calculation
We are going to use a two-stage DCF model, which, as the name states, takes into account two stages of growth. The first stage is generally a higher growth period which levels off heading towards the terminal value, captured in the second 'steady growth' period. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) estimate
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$5.6b
After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (1.9%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 8.4%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2032 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$937m× (1 + 1.9%) ÷ (8.4%– 1.9%) = US$15b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$15b÷ ( 1 + 8.4%)10= US$6.6b
The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is US$12b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$36.6, the company appears about fair value at a 5.8% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent.
Important Assumptions
The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Western Digital as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.4%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.522. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.
Looking Ahead:
Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Preferably you'd apply different cases and assumptions and see how they would impact the company's valuation. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. For Western Digital, there are three essential aspects you should further research:
- Financial Health: Does WDC have a healthy balance sheet? Take a look at our free balance sheet analysis with six simple checks on key factors like leverage and risk.
- Future Earnings: How does WDC's growth rate compare to its peers and the wider market? Dig deeper into the analyst consensus number for the upcoming years by interacting with our free analyst growth expectation chart.

Salford Red Devils' mercurial half-back Brodie Croft has been named the 2022 Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel after seeing off St Helens' Jack Welsby and Wigan Warriors' Jai Field to win the coveted award.
Croft becomes the second Salford player to win the award, following Jackson Hastings, who was also brushed with a cult hero status like Croft at the Red Devils and lifted the trophy back in 2019. In his debut season in Super League, Croft missed just one regular season game when Salford rested several key players. Throughout the year, he has contributed to 25 try assists and crossed the whitewash seven times, as his side was narrowly pipped at the final hurdle last weekend against St Helens.
Croft was presented his award by two-time Man of Steel Paul Sculthorpe MBE at the Betfred Super League Awards in Leeds, and the rugby league legend was quick to hand praise to Croft and believes he is one of the best players seen in the Super League in a long time.

"Being a two-time Man of Steel, I know first-hand what it means to a player to receive this recognition," said Sculthorpe. "Brodie has shown all season what an exceptional talent he is. His creative flair, leadership and doggedness have been a huge asset to Paul Rowley's rejuvenated Salford Red Devils team. It is no shock that the run Salford put together at the end of the season was mirrored by an exceptional series of performances from Brodie. Highlighted by the 25 try assists he provided this season."
The full list of award winners at the 2022 Betfred Super League Awards are as follows: Top Tackler – Danny Houghton (Hull FC) - Top Try Scorer – Bevan French (Wigan Warriors) - Loch Lomond Spirit of Super League Award – Peter Mata'utia (Awarded to those who make a significant contribution to the sport beyond the field of play) - Young Player of the Year – Jack Welsby (St Helens) - Coach of the Year – Matt Peet (Wigan Warriors) - Steve Prescott MBE Man of Steel – Brodie Croft (Salford Red Devils)

Dustin May no-hits Giants for 5 innings, Dodgers win 5-0
SAN FRANCISCO -- Dustin May pitched five no-hit innings and outdueled Logan Webb and the newly-crowned NL West-champion Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 on Friday night.
May (2-2) struck out four and walked one, dazzling in his fifth start since returning from Tommy John elbow reconstructive surgery in May 2021. The Dodgers pushed his outing back a couple of days and had him on a pitch limit of 75-80 after he had lost his previous two decisions and had a three-start winless stretch.
Alex Vesia relieved for the sixth and allowed a two-out infield single to Luis González for the Giants' first hit. Caleb Ferguson and Phil Bickford finished the two-hit shutout.
Justin Turner's 34th double leading off the fourth tied his career high and ignited the Dodgers' decisive inning — then he hit another in the fifth. Chris Taylor, Cody Bellinger and Trea Turner each hit RBI singles that inning. Freddie Freeman added a run-scoring single in the ninth.
The Dodgers (99-44) clinched their ninth division crown in 10 years Tuesday at Arizona and are one victory away from their second consecutive 100-win season and third straight in a full year — excluding the shortened 60-game 2020 COVID-19 season.
This marks a far different September scenario than a year ago for these rivals: The Giants claimed the NL West on the final day of the regular season in 2021 to win 107 games and hold off the 106-win Dodgers, who then beat San Francisco in a thrilling five-game NL Division Series.
Giants right-hander Logan Webb (13-9) had a two-start winning streak snapped. He allowed four runs on seven hits in his second-shortest outing all year of four innings.
The Dodgers are 13-4 against the Giants this season.
"They've been the better baseball team all year," San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler said. "The distance between us in the standings is disappointing, it's annoying but it's sort of irrelevant. If you're not winning the division and you're not in the playoffs, there's plenty of disappointment right there, you don't have to layer on anything related to an exact number of games."
Drew Ann Drysdale, daughter of late Hall of Famer Don Drysdale, sang the national anthem.
PENCE'S PLAQUE
Former Giants fan favorite and right fielder Hunter Pence will be honored with a spot on the team's Wall of Fame during an on-field pregame ceremony Saturday.
The four-time All-Star expects about 100 of his family and friends to attend, including a sister coming from Australia with her family.
He will be the 55th player with a Wall of Fame honor.
"It's like my second wedding," Pence said, thrilled to be recognized for his contributions to the club over parts of eight seasons.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Dodgers: RHP Tony Gonsolin (right forearm strain) will throw another bullpen session this weekend. ... 2B Gavin Lux, sidelined since Sept. 1 by back discomfort, is slated to start Saturday then take Sunday off before playing again Monday and Tuesday vs. Arizona.
Giants: LHP Carlos Rodón is OK after leaving his start Wednesday against Atlanta with a blister. "He's doing better," Kapler said.
ROSTER MOVE
The Giants claimed 1B/OF Taylor Jones off waivers from the Astros and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento. INF Jose Rojas was designated for assignment.
UP NEXT
LHP Julio Urías (16-7, 2.30 ERA) starts for the Dodgers in the middle game of the series Saturday night having gone 3-1 with a 0.75 ERA against San Francisco this season. The Giants hadn't named a pitcher.

The FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup tips off in Sydney tomorrow: Here's what you need to know
By Amanda ShalalaThe showpiece tournament for women's basketball is back in Australia for the first time since 1994, with the 12 best teams in the world ready to fight it out in Sydney over 10 days.
So where exactly is it being played, who are the teams to watch, and will the Opals complete the ultimate fairytale on home soil?
We've got you covered.
When is it on?
The tournament tips off tomorrow, Thursday September 22, with Bosnia and Herzegovina facing Puerto Rico at 10:30am AEST.
That'll be the first of six matches to kick start the event, headlined by Australia taking on France at 8:30pm AEST.
The tournament will finish with the medal matches on Saturday October 1.
Where is it being played?
The entire tournament will be played at Sydney Olympic Park, with the 21-thousand capacity Sydney SuperDome hosting the big-ticket items, including all Opals games, and the quarter finals, semis, and medal matches.
The smaller 4,500 seat Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre will also host several matches.
How can I watch?
ESPN has the TV rights in Australia, with no access on free to air TV, although you can stream it for free via Kayo.
There are also still tickets available if you're in Sydney.
And we'll have extensive coverage across all ABC News platforms to keep you in the loop.
Who's playing?
12 countries have qualified for the tournament, including Australia as the host nation.
The teams are split into two groups of six, they'll each play five games in that phase, before the top four nations in each group progress to the quarter-finals.
Group A
- Belgium
- China
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Puerto Rico
- Korea
- USA
Group B
- Australia
- Serbia
- France
- Japan
- Mali
- Canada
The USA as always are the favourites – the Americans are the world number one, and the three-time defending champions, with superstar Breanna Stewart at the helm, as well as newly crowned WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson.
But they're missing a host of big names that helped them to gold at the Tokyo Olympics last year, including Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, and Brittney Griner who remains imprisoned in Russia.
Bosnia and Herzegovina boasts one of the best players in the world, last season's WNBA MVP, Bahamian-born Jonquel Jones.
China's Yueru Li has had an impressive rise over the past year and could make all the difference for her side.
Canada, Belgium, France, China, Japan, and Serbia are all ranked in the world's top 10, so expect plenty of close matches.
Can the Opals win it?
The Australians are the world number three, and have good pedigree in the tournament.
They've won it once – in 2006, and claimed silver four years ago.
The Opals consistently perform on the world stage, with last year's Tokyo Olympics quarter-final exit a notable exception.
But they've heralded their unity and "sisterhood" heading into Sydney.
The biggest storyline for the Opals is the return of Lauren Jackson – one of the greats of the game, making it to her fifth World Cup, after a six-year retirement.
While this will certainly be Jackson's final World Cup, it's the first for Ezi Magbegor who's starting to make a name for herself in the global game, and this tournament could be the launch pad for big things.
The World Cup winner also gets a nice bonus prize - automatic qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

By Simon SmaleFollow live as Hawthorn Football Club and the AFL respond to allegations of racism unearthed in an external review.
Live updates
By Simon Smale
Hawthorn club statement
"Earlier this year the Hawthorn Football Club engaged external First Nations consultants to liaise with current and former First Nations players and staff to learn more about their experience at the club.
"This important work has raised disturbing historical allegations that require further investigation. Upon learning of these allegations, the club immediately engaged AFL Integrity as is appropriate.
"The club will continue to provide support to those who have participated in this process, and their wellbeing remains our priority.
"While the process indicated the current environment at the club is culturally safe, it also recommended that some of the club’s current First Nations training and development programs should continue to be strengthened.
"The club places the best interests and welfare of our players and staff as our number one priority.
"Given the matters raised are confidential, the club will not provide any further comment at this time."

'Bonucci has never been a leader and never will be': Juventus Ultras come out attacking club captain Leonardo, saying his choice to lead players to 'apologise' after Monza loss showed his lack of leadership skills
- The Ultras of Juventus have hit out at the club's captain, Leonardo Bonucci
- They say that his choice to force players to 'apologise' showed lack of leadership
- Bonucci led Juventus players in front of fans after 1-0 loss at Monza on Sunday
The Ultras of Juventus have hit out at club captain Leonardo Bonucci, claiming he is not a leader, and never will be.
The club's core fanbase have felt that they need to get their voices heard after their shaky start to this season, which has seen Juventus win just two of their seven Serie A games going into the international break.
Bonucci took his players to the travelling fans to 'apologise', after their 1-0 loss to Monza on Sunday, sealed by Christian Gytkjaer's second half strike.
Leonardo Bonucci's leadership skills have come under attack from the Juventus Ultras
But the Ultras have taken to social media to criticise Bonucci for his leadership skills, according to a report from Calciomercato.
The Ultras wrote: 'We are faced with scenes we do not understand and if anything we find laughable and RIDICULOUS, thought up by someone who considers himself a leaver, but acts like a sacrificial victim.
'Bonucci has never been a leader and never will be: not at Treviso, nor Pisa, nor Bari, nor Milan and certainly not at Juventus…
'In this moment of general confusion, on and off the pitch, there is total anarchy and whoever feels like it declares themselves an expert, a leader, a chief or a responsible figure without having the charisma or the recognition of the people who have been here for many years.
'If there is a hierarchy, there’s a reason for that. A good soldier does not necessarily make a good general.'
Bonucci took the Juventus players across to apologise to fans after a 1-0 loss away at Monza
They noted that the 'apology' at Monza was part of the problem, and didn't help to make the situation between the club and the fans any better.
'Taking professional players like sacrificial lambs to stare at the Curva [stand] while receiving jeers and insults, giving legitimacy to protests just a month into the season, is SIMPLY ABSURD,' the Ultras wrote. 'The only result can be to create a weak team that is weighed down by negativity and a victim complex.
'That is exactly the opposite of what is needed in this sport. You are damaging your teammates and squad more than any incompetent coach or director.'
The Juventus Ultras have said that the players should not take the blame for the management
They rounded off their comments by stating: 'Whoever wears the Juventus jersey must lower their heads in front of only their own people and nobody else, including the media.
'All it takes is a glance from the pitch to the stands, saluting with arm raised rather than a wild celebration so we know that you are apologising.
'And finally, players do not take the blame that only the incompetent directors and President have, and which they need to answer for.'
It follows a period of uncertainty at Juventus, as President Andrea Agnelli is keeping coach Max Allegri in his job, despite the reported protestations of vice-president Pavel Nedved.
Juventus will try to turn their fortunes around when they host Bologna in their first game back after the international break on Sunday October 2, before hosting Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League three days later.

CAPA's Social Justice Series Presents Free Performance Of ON GOLDEN WINGS
The performance is on Saturday, October 8 at 3 pm at the Lincoln Theatre.
CAPA will present a FREE community performance of On Golden Wings-part of its Social Justice Series-on Saturday, October 8 at 3 pm at the Lincoln Theatre. A pre-show paper airplane flying contest, with prizes, will be held at 1:30 pm. Attendance is open and admittance to both events will be on a first-come, first-served basis. On Golden Wings is a family-friendly, interactive living history play, with music produced by Greatest Stories Never Told.
With ties to central Ohio, this interactive living history play with music shares the untold story of James Herman Banning and Thomas Cox Allen, the first African Americans to fly across the United States. In 1932, the duo made the 3,300-mile trip from Los Angeles to Long Island in 41 hours and 27 minutes aloft. However, the trip required 21 days to complete because the pilots had to raise money for the next leg each time they stopped. One of these stops landed them in Ohio where the congregants of Second Baptist Church, Columbus's oldest Black Baptist Church, helped the pair by donating money, food, and shelter.
This presentation is made possible through the generous support of The Bill Conner Memorial Fund, City of Columbus Recreation & Parks Department, CoverMyMeds, The DiMarco Family Fund of The Columbus Foundation, Huntington, The Robert Weiler Company, State Auto, and Wolfe Enterprises. Season support has also been provided by The Columbus Foundation, Greater Columbus Arts Council, Nationwide Foundation, and The Ohio Arts Council.

Man Admits to Running Down and Killing a 'Republican' Teen Over a Political Dispute
A North Dakota man is accused of intentionally running over and killing an 18-year-old over a political dispute early Sunday.
Just prior to the hit-and-run attack, the teen had frantically telephoned his mother to say someone was chasing him.
Shannon Brandt, 41, called 911 around 2:35 a.m. to report that he had hit a pedestrian with his vehicle in an alleyway in McHenry, N.D, according to KVLY-TV. He allegedly told the dispatcher he chased down the teen because he “was part of a Republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were ‘coming to get him,'” according to the news outlet.
The victim was identified as Cayler Ellingson of Grace City. Ellingson had just attended a street dance and his mother was on her way to pick him up.

Deputies found Brandt at his home in Glenfield, N.D., about 9 miles away.
Brandt told sheriff’s deputies that he initially left Ellingson lying where he was struck, only to return later and call 911. He fled again before deputies arrived. He also reportedly told authorities that he’d been drinking.
Just before the incident, Ellingson called his mother and asked her if she knew Brandt, according to court documents, KVLY reported. She told him yes, and told her son she was on her way to pick him up.
Shortly after, Ellingson called his mother again and told her that “he” or “they” were chasing him.
She was unable to reach her son again after that.
Ellingson was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
A person murdered a teen in McHenry, North Dakota, accusing him to be a right-wing extremist. Cayler Ellingson, 18, called his mother for help saying he was being pursued. He was found dead. The suspected killer, Shannon Brandt, is held on $50k. https://t.co/XqZTJtmVLf
— Andy Ngô 🏳️🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) September 20, 2022
The local news outlet reported that, according to the Stutsman County website, Brandt is charged with criminal vehicular homicide and DUI. His bail was set at $50,000.
“We are still trying to determine what, exactly, transpired at the time of crash and prior to that as well,” North Dakota Highway Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind told InForum.
“We do not know of any witnesses,” Niewind added.”We are still making attempts to interview potential witnesses from the street dance, people that were present prior to the crash happening.”
Brandt faces at least 10 years in prison if convicted due to a prior DUI on his criminal record according to InForum. The outlet reported the maximum sentence Brandt could serve is 20 years.
North Dakota State Troopers added that they may recommend more serious charges as the investigation develops.
A GoFundMe has been set up by a family friend of Ellingson’s mother, Nicole Clifton Geiszler.
In a statement on the fundraising site, Geiszler wrote, “Unfortunately, in the early hours on Sunday, September 18, 2022 their lives changed forever. Cayler was taken way too soon from them.”
Geisler added, “Cayler … went to heaven and will be missed by his Mom, Dad, Brother, Uncles, Aunts, cousins many Family and Friends.”

In Youngstown, Ohio, Saturday evening, hundreds of people gathered to offer praise to their common leader, join together in song, and engage in ceremonial rituals.
To a casual observer, the gathering had all the trappings of a typical megachurch service. But this was a political rally, not in a house of worship but at an arena. And rather than worship the divine, the crowd was there to herald the malign: Donald Trump and his brand of hateful, intentionally divisive politics.
Similar to a creed, Trump shared his litany of election-denial lies that have come to constitute the Republican Party platform.
You would be forgiven for confusing it for a religious service. Similar to a creed, Trump shared his litany of election-denial lies that have come to constitute the Republican Party platform. Like an evil mirror-universe version of Scripture, attendees heard the incoherent ramblings of QAnon conspiracy theories. And with the feel of an altar call, the crowd jabbed index fingers in the air while organizers played music that closely resembled the QAnon theme song.
All of this is by design, illustrating yet again how MAGA Republicans use and abuse religious rhetoric and symbols in order to create a culture where disagreeing with conservative political leaders is no longer seen as a matter of discourse but as an act of blasphemy.
Having long rejected the historical boundaries of traditional politics and even the basic facts of reality, many of today’s elected Republican leaders are no longer interested in seeking power through democracy. Instead, they seek to tie the MAGA movement to their supporters’ most cherished religious traditions, enshrining their politics as a key tenet of evangelical and even Catholic Christianity. As University of Pennsylvania professor and MSNBC contributor Anthea Butler wrote on Twitter following the rally, “You have a major faction of the Republican Party morphing into Republican Religion... These rallies, especially the Trump ones, have effectively blended religious fervor, calls for violence, and patriotism into a noxious stew.” To oppose QAnon and MAGA is now to oppose God, country, and family, for they have been made one and the same in the minds of the MAGA base.
This is all part of what scholars mean by the term “Christian nationalism”: The Republican Party’s merging of American and evangelical Christian identities to proclaim that only conservative Christians count as “true Americans,” and that only right-wing Republicans can be considered true Christians. The intentional coupling of MAGA politics with religious imagery isn’t merely a rhetorical act, either. Under Christofascism, the only thing that matters is that conservative Christian leaders and their allies hold power. In such a system, there is need neither for democracy nor for equal rights.
Trump’s Ohio rally is hardly the only recent example of a politician appropriating religious symbols to seize power. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene labels all her critics “the godless left,” ignoring the truth that many who object to her embrace of the phrase “Christian nationalist” are in fact her own fellow Christians. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano, who was present at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 and promoted baseless 2020 election fraud claims, has even suggested that the Bible actually forbids Christians from criticizing him.
It is not just Republican politicians who try to align MAGA politics with Christianity, but a legion of right-wing pastors and false prophets who seek access to power.
It is not just Republican politicians who try to align MAGA politics with Christianity, but a legion of right-wing pastors and false prophets who seek access to power. Last Wednesday, Southern Baptist leader Al Mohler said that to vote the “wrong way” is to be “unfaithful” to God. Then on Friday, at the Mike Flynn-headlined “ReAwaken America Tour” in Post Falls, Idaho — a MAGA affair that has been called “QAnon 2.0” — Trump confidante Pastor Mark Burns proclaimed, “I’m coming here to declare war on every demonic, demon-possessed Democrat that comes from the gates of Hell!”
Co-opting religion isn’t just blasphemous; it’s also dangerous and has already led to real-world violence. The most obvious such moment is, of course, the use of religious language and symbols before and during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection attempt. But even more recently, we have seen MAGA adherents — operating in the same echo chambers — take literal aim at the FBI, IRS and even the National Archives.
For those who sincerely believe these agencies are doing Satan’s bidding, the act of storming an FBI field office with an AR-15-style weapon delusionally feels less like attempted murder and more like a holy obligation.
Of course, not only is none of this rooted in Scripture; it is, in fact, antithetical to Christian values. Right-wing authoritarianism has hijacked vast swaths of the church in order to masquerade as religion, and it falls to faithful churches and people of faith to reclaim and heal what has been seized.
On this front, there is hope. For every lost pastor who casts aside their ordination vows to prop up MAGA cult leaders, there is always at least one nearby who will reassure their neighbors of the true teachings of Jesus Christ. For example, wherever Flynn and the “ReAwaken America Tour” travel, local pastors have been ready to speak out. When the tour visited Post Falls this past Friday, Episcopal Bishop Gretchen Rehberg told reporters, “I would urge anyone who thinks that Christian nationalism is Christianity to go back and read the Gospels… The words used by Christian nationalists are words of demonization, division, of violence, of separation. They are not words that Jesus would use.”
Just as the “ReAwaken America Tour” brings more than a dozen pro-Trump pastors on tour alongside Flynn and Eric Trump, the notoriously homophobic evangelist Franklin Graham — who supported Trump’s election denial and now uses heated MAGA rhetoric against the FBI and IRS — is preparing to kick off his own latest swing-state tour. It is his first since the Big Lie. Here, too, Christians are speaking out against his hijacking of the church for right-wing politics. More than 17,000 people have signed a petition from the organization I lead, Faithful America, calling on local event venues not to host Graham’s rallies.
Unfortunately, far too many moderate and progressive pastors still decline to speak out against the merger of MAGA and religion, whether it is because they misunderstand the separation of church and state or because they are afraid of losing church members. But the threat of fascism in Jesus’s name posed by the Republican Party’s attempted hostile takeover of faith is too great a threat to both the church and democracy for us to ignore. We Christians must now follow the example of our prophetic siblings — and of Jesus himself, who repeatedly challenged the corrupt religious and political leaders of his time to set aside their discrimination and thirst for power to instead love all their neighbors, no exceptions.

Boeing to slash nearly 150 finance jobs in U.S.
Sept 20 (Reuters) - Planemaker Boeing Co said on Tuesday it plans to cut about 150 finance jobs in the United States this year to simplify its corporate structure and focus more resources into manufacturing and product development.
The company will reduce staffing in its information technology and finance departments, Boeing said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
Boeing, which has dealt with engineering and production issues in the past, said it increased its workforce by about 10,000 employees earlier this year and ramped up hiring in its engineering and manufacturing departments to respond to the market demand.
In the aftermath of two 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pledged to scrutinize Boeing more closely and delegate fewer responsibilities to the company for aircraft certification.
Last month, the U.S. government approved the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner for delivery since 2021.
Boeing halted deliveries in May 2021 after the FAA raised concerns about its proposed inspection method. In September 2020, the FAA said it was investigating manufacturing flaws in some 787 jetliners.

Lunchtime kick-offs in leagues and FA Cup hold appeal amid cost-of-living crisis
Lunchtime kick-offs for weekend league and FA Cup matches would be considered by clubs in the EFL and the wider football pyramid to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, a new survey has found.
Sixty-three per cent of 40 clubs – including 12 EFL teams – surveyed by football reform group Fair Game over the last fortnight said they would consider earlier kick-offs to help reduce energy bills as the hours of daylight diminish, if they were given permission.
The Government has pledged to support businesses with rising energy costs, but it is unclear whether this will benefit football clubs or how long any support will last, and concern about the cost-of-living crisis among clubs outside the Premier League remains high.
Overall, clubs rated their concern about the cost-of-living crisis at seven out of 10, rising to more than eight out of 10 among League Two teams.
Sixty per cent of the 40 clubs are considering halting ground improvement work as a result of the crisis, while 38 per cent are preparing to look at their non-playing staff budgets.
The survey’s publication comes as Premier League clubs prepare to hold further discussions around a new financial distribution model to support the EFL and the rest of the pyramid.
The so-called ‘New Deal For Football’ is not expected to be signed off by the 20 clubs when they gather for a shareholders’ meeting in London on Wednesday. The plan is understood to include a new system of merit-based payments to Championship clubs and changes to parachute payments.
Changes to the domestic calendar from 2024 also form part of the ‘New Deal’ discussions, and Premier League clubs are understood to be largely in agreement on the idea of wanting to ditch FA Cup third and fourth-round replays, which have historically been an important source of income for lower-league clubs.
Europe’s new-look club competitions will take up even more space in an already congested calendar from the 2024-25 season, with an extra 64 matches being added to the Champions League and continental fixtures set to spill into January for the first time.
Top-flight teams are understood to be less aligned on the future of the Carabao Cup.
It is understood the league’s ‘Big Six’ clubs unanimously favour the idea of allowing teams who are playing in Europe to either enter an under-21 team into the Carabao Cup or not enter it at all.
Other Premier League clubs also support this proposal but there is concern among some who are less regularly involved in Europe that the League Cup would be too devalued by such a move. Reducing the appeal of the competition would again have an impact on EFL revenues.
There is understood to be growing optimism among top-flight clubs that plans for an independent regulator for football could be delayed, watered down or dropped altogether under the leadership of new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
Her predecessor Boris Johnson and former Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries were both supporters of the regulator but are now out of office, while Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston’s future is still uncertain. He gave his public backing to Truss’ rival Rishi Sunak in the Tory leadership campaign.
Huddleston had warned that the regulator would be given backstop powers to impose a financial distribution settlement on the Premier League and the EFL if they could not agree it themselves.
A White Paper on the regulator had initially been due in the summer but was delayed first by the leadership contest while Government business has been put on hold during the national period of mourning following the death of the Queen.
However, the future of that and other pieces of legislation is now up in the air.
Fair Game chief executive Niall Couper said the survey results were a further demonstration of why action was urgently needed.
“The results paint a very bleak future for football outside the top echelons of the game,” he said.
“Having survived the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis could well be the death knell for the hard-working community clubs lower down the pyramid.
“Lower-league football clubs are the heartbeat of their communities, but right now they are in intensive care.
“The Premier League are at best going to offer a sticking plaster. They have had decades to address the problem and they should stand aside.
“It is now up to the Government to intervene. The recent fan-led Review set up by the Conservative Party revealed the financial flow within the game, and the governance that sits behind it, is broken.
“Fair Game are calling for action now. We were promised levelling up, instead we could see the levelling of football stadia across the country with decades of history and tradition wiped off the map.
“The Government needs to deliver on its promise of an independent regulator now. A regulator that can oversee football’s financial flow. Without it the pyramid of our national game will crumble.”

Woman struggling with painful rashes and swelling from her auto immune disease clears up her face in FOUR weeks using one 'miracle' cleanser
- Stacey struggles with an auto immune disease and the symptoms associated
- In 2021 she was looking for a product to clear up her painful periorbital rashes
- She heard about Maaemo Organic's Rejuvenation Clay Cleanser ($59.95)
- Without four weeks the anti bacterial product had healed her swollen face
An Australian woman with an auto immune condition has revealed how a $59.95 cleanser helped to calm down very painful red periorbital rashes she had around both eyes.
Stacey started using Maaemo Organic's Rejuvenation Clay Cleanser in 2021 after struggling with severe redness and looking to address the problem with organic products that wouldn't interfere with the topical steroids she was already applying.
'I came across Maaemo on Instagram and started reading up on the ingredients and the philosophy behind the brand,' Stacey said.
'It was very important for me to use a natural product that contained no harsh chemicals. I found the Rejuvenation Clay Cleanser which had amazing reviews from customers with sensitive skin. I purchased it the next day and soon it became my favourite skincare product of all time.'

The Rejuvenation Cleanser/ Mask ($59.95)
Hillary Wilcox, 27, developed Maaemo Organic after studying a health science degree, quickly realising how combinations of botanicals could be used to treat chronic skin conditions - but they weren't being widely used in commercial products.
Stacey's main skin concern were the eczema-like rashes she was experiencing at the time, which caused swelling, blistering and dry skin.
'Not only were they super painful, but it was something that caused me to be self-conscious in public,' she said.
'Strangers would come up to me in the supermarket and ask me what was wrong with my face, ask whether I needed help (suspected abuse), or whether I had been crying all day.
'It made me feel very upset when this would happen in front of my daughters. I love being outside, but heat and sun exposure would make the rash feel like my face was on fire; it really started to limit everything.'
The anti-inflammatory properties in the Maaemo cleanser enabled Stacey's skin to start healing and within four weeks she noticed a massive improvement.
'Since I started this cleanser I have been free from periorbital rashes,' she said.
'Even when my disease starts to flare up, the skin rash has never returned. I am beyond grateful for this product. It has changed more than my skin; it has enabled me to feel normal again.'

It has been a labour of love for Hillary, organic beauty expert from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
'I would research herbs and then search for them in products in stores but I could never find the combination of ingredients that I wanted,' the health practitioner told FEMAIL previously.
'These botanical ingredients were so well researched and had great evidence behind them yet all of the skincare products I had in my cupboard where full of toxic ingredients.'
So she developed a cleanser, exfoliant, mist, mask, face cream and serum to help fellow Australians make the switch over to more natural ingredients, without giving up on products that genuinely work.
Hillary takes her inspiration from peer reviewed journals and ensures everything inside Maaemo's carefully curated glass bottles has a purpose.

Inside celebrity naturopath's dramatic rebrand in the wake of being charged with having sex with boy, 14, four times in one day
- Savannah Daisley, 45, accused of having drunk sex with a boy, 14, four times
- Jailed, but eventually granted bail to rebrand multi million-dollar detox business
- Instagram selfie showed mum-of-two clutching a bag brimming with orders
- 'Love most of all helping you transform your health, clear your mind,' she wrote
- Allowed supervised visits with children, she celebrated son's eighth birthday
A celebrity naturopath and horse breeding heiress accused of having drunken sex with a 14-year-old boy four times in one day is rebranding her multi million-dollar detox empire while on bail.
Savannah Daisley, 45, was released from Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre in early August after being charged in June with four counts of aggravated sexual intercourse with a child, aged between 14 and 16, in May last year.
Part of the mother-of-two's bid for bail in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court was so she could work on 'rebranding ... a new product' in her Smart Cleanse range while residing with her parents at their lavish Southern Highlands ranch.
Daisley, who strenuously denies the charges, removed most of her social media accounts in the days following her arrest and took a brief Instagram hiatus while behind bars, applying for bail, and presumably settling in to life with her parents.
However, the alleged child sex offender was back on the 'gram in early September to let her fans know that her rebranded detox kits would be available from October - alongside a photo of her clutching a garbage bag brimming with orders.
Daisley's case was mentioned in Manly Local Court on Wednesday, but the matter was adjourned to next month. She was formally excused from making an appearance.

In the Instagram post, uploaded on September 6, she wrote: 'Love stepping in sometimes and doing some order fulfilment to help our logistics team.
'Connects me to my customers, my mission and why I started Smart Cleanse.'
'Love most of all helping you transform your health, clear your mind, reset your gut, get rid of bloating, increase energy, sleep better, intercept insulin resistance and excess weight, reverse disease and achieve your goals and dreams.'
She said that nothing aside from her two children, family and friends, makes her 'more happy' than helping others achieve their wellness dreams, and implored her 40,000 followers to buy her products.
Smart Cleanse is a 14-day program comprising capsules and powers that, according to the website, promise to detoxify clients' bodies, eliminate stress, shed kilos, and 'reverse ageing'.
Clients itching to lose weight and 'detox their bodies' have to fork out $199.95 for a 14-day starter pack.

Horse breeder Ross Daisley (pictured with Savannah in 1993) put up $100,000 surety for his daughter's bail
Daisley limited the followers who were allowed to comment on the post, but the select few who could told the heiress she was 'looking great' and that they were considering buying more detox kits.
In July, she secured access visits to her children as a bail variation condition after winning her release from Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre, before she celebrated her son's eighth birthday.
'I will never live my best life without my kids because they are the best part of my life,' she wrote on social media.
Police arrested Daisley six days after placing a listening device warrant on a phone call between her and the alleged victim.
The call was tendered during her bail application in a police sting more than a year after officers alleged she had drunken sex four times in one day with the teenager.
A court heard in July that the mother-of-two, who had been 'regularly blacking out because of alcohol she consumed', said to the boy in the call that the alleged acts 'should be confined to the depths of the ocean in a chest'.

The influencer's lawyer, Gabrielle Bashir, said his client risked losing 'millions of dollars' from her business while locked up.
Ms Bashir told the court Ms Daisley's mother has ovarian cancer, and that her family could offer up $100,000 as a surety while supervising her reporting to police while on bail.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Kerry-Ann McKinnon alleged that during the tapped call, Ms Daisley 'attempts to shift the blame'.
'She suggests it was mutual ... and what the potential ramifications are going to be.
'She's guilt-tripping this child. Reminds the child of what the agreement was in respect of keeping it under wraps.
'Puts it in a kind of story-like, fairytale situation ... how it is going to go away and never come back.'

While in jail, she complained that her mental health was deteriorating and instead of returning to her $10million waterfront mansion in Sydney's lower north shore, she was ordered to live under strict bail conditions with her parents.
Daisley's father is the famous horse breeder Ross Daisley, who raced renowned thoroughbred Choisir at Royal Ascot.
Her products now sell across Australia after she secured deals with pharmacy giant Priceline in 2018, and with supplement giant Mr Vitamin in 2020.
She launched the company in 2014 and quickly attracted a celebrity following, including Neighbours star Jodi Gordon, who featured in a video testimonial for Smart Cleanse in June 2021 - spruiking the program as her 'health and beauty secret'.
Daisley's case will be mentioned in Sydney's Downing Centre next month.

Qld govt green light for hydrogen corridor
Queensland has begun its journey to unlocking a green energy corridor in the state's north after signing a trade memorandum of understanding with three of Korea's largest conglomerates for hydrogen exports.
The government's MOU with a hydrogen consortium consisting of companies Korea Zinc, SK Gas and Hanwha Impact together with Queensland-based Ark energy seeks to further develop the existing trade partnership with the state.
The Han-Ho Hydrogen Consortium would develop a supply chain to export more than 1 million tonnes of green ammonia from north Queensland to Korea by 2032.
The Korea Institute of Economic energy research estimates Korea's total demand for ammonia will exceed 21 million tonnes by 2030.
Queensland is already Australia's largest exporter to the north-east Asian country of any state and territory, with trade totalling $18.5 billion last financial year.
Nearly 77 per cent of those exports were coal and liquefied natural gas.
Ark Energy CEO Daniel Kim says with Korea's commitment to net zero by 2050 means jobs are now at risk, so the MOU signed is essential.
"The shared vision of this consortium is to transform the bilateral relationship between Australia and Korea from one that has been underpinned by resources and fossil fuels to renewable energy and green hydrogen," he said on Wednesday.
"We have a shared commitment to build this new green growth corridor between Australia and Korea. We want to accelerate our customers energy transitions and we want to continue to deliver prosperity in the regional communities in which we operate.
At the heart of the green energy corridor is development of Ark Energy's Collinsville green energy hub.
The precinct south of Townsville has 12 land holders already signed up and will have the potential to generate up to 3,000 megawatts.
It will become one of Australia's largest precincts, estimated to be larger than Fraser Island.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the announcement is another step forward in the state's quest to be a hydrogen powerhouse.
"We welcome this major new Consortium to Queensland - to accelerate progress in our green hydrogen industry and advance green energy exports to Korea," she said.
"What you'll be seeing over the coming decade is large renewable precincts developing in regional Queensland, that is an indisputable fact."

Judge's 60th homer sparks 5-run 9th, Yanks stun Pirates 9-8
NEW YORK (AP) - Aaron Judge hit his 60th home run and Giancarlo Stanton followed with a game-ending grand slam, completing the New York Yankees' stunning five-run, ninth-inning rally to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8 on Tuesday night.
Judge moved within one of Roger Maris' American League record when he turned on a sinker from right-hander Wil Crowe (5-10) leading off the inning and drove it 430 feet into the left-field bleachers, pulling New York to 8-5.
Judge took a rare curtain call, forced by his teammates.
"I really didn't want to do it," he said.
Judge matched the 60 home runs Babe Ruth hit for the 1927 Yankees to set a big league record that stood for 34 years. It came off a pitcher whose great, great uncle, Hall of Famer Red Ruffing, was Ruth's teammate on the Yankees in the 1930s.
"He did what he was supposed to do with it," Crowe said, "3-1 count, I´m not going to put him on. I felt like I wanted to go after him. Started away, came back in. He put a good swing on a bad pitch."

Anthony Rizzo doubled, Gleyber Torres walked and Josh Donaldson singled to load the bases. Stanton, mired in a 9-for-72 slump, sent a changeup half a dozen rows into the left-field seats to set off a raucous celebration among what remained of the crowd of 40,157 at Yankee Stadium.
Stanton's low drive was measured at 118 mph.
"I kind of lost my mind," Judge said. "That's a signiture Giancarlo Stanton 10-foot laser."
Roger Maris Jr. and Kevin Maris, sons of the former player, were both on hand. Specially marked balls were used each time Judge walked to the plate. Fans in the outfield seats stood and many groaned with each foul ball.
Aroldis Chapman (3-3) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.
Bryan Reynolds tied it 4-4 with a seventh-inning home run off Lou Trivino and had a go-ahead single off Jonathan Loáisiga in the eighth for his fourth hit.
Rodolfo Castro - the player suspended for a game by Major League Baseball last month after a cell phone flew out of his pocket during a headfirst slide - followed with a three-run homer against Clay Holmes.
Holmes, an All-Star who has slumped in the second half, was pitching against his former team for the first time.
Harrison Bader had a pair of go-ahead singles and drove in three runs in his debut for the Yankees. First baseman Anthony Rizzo made a key error that led to the four-run eighth inning for the already-eliminated Pirates.
Reynolds also had a three-base error on a dropped fly in center, one of two errors by a team that leads the major leagues with 108.-
FUNKY
Nestor Cortes stopped his leg twice in a double hesitation windup to Reynolds in the third but gave up a single to center.
FAMILY MATTERS
Former Yankees 3B Charlie Hayes, who caught the final out of the 1996 World Series, threw a ceremonial first pitch to his son, Pirates 3B Ke'Bryan Hayes.
MOVING UP
Pittsburgh promoted six players to Triple-A Indianapolis following the end of the season at Double-A Altoona: RHPs Quinn Priester and Colin Selby, 2B-C-OF Endy Rodriguez, INF Aaron Shackelford, 3B Malcom Nunez, OF Matt Gorski. "Now we have another 10 days of at-bats we can get them," manager Derek Shelton said. "Losing 2020 was so vital for organizations like ours. The more reps we can get them, the better it is."
TRAINER´S ROOM
Yankees: RHP Frankie Montas received a second cortisone injection in his ailing right shoulder and went on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Saturday. ... LHP Zack Britton (Tommy John surgery) pitched a one-hit inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in his eighth rehab outing. RHP Miguel Castro (strained shoulder) pitched a hitless inning for the RailRiders.
UP NEXT
New York RHP Luis Severino (5-3, 3.45) starts Wednesday after recovering from a lat strain that has sidelined him since July 13. RHP Roansy Contreras (5-4, 3.24) pitches for the Pirates.

Tuesday's Blind Auditions on The Voice had coaches Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani ready to adopt a 15-year-old singer!
Michigan native Brayden Lape took the stage -- with his proud real-life family waiting in the wings -- for an impressive performance of Niall Horan's "This Town" that had Camila Cabello urging Blake to turn his chair. "He's gonna win those young girls over, I'm telling you!" she insisted.
While Blake was ultimately the only one to turn, all of the coaches were charmed by the high school athlete's voice and impressive height.
"Oh my god, he's so cute!" Gwen Stefani gushed. "You're adorable!"
"You have a new mom and dad!" Camila teased, as Gwen supported Blake's newest team member, noting she had "super regret for not turning."
"You got Blake, but you got me too," she told the young performer. "I'll be your momager."
When the team brought Brayden's family onstage to celebrate with him, Gwen nearly burst into tears.
"This is the greatest day of my Voice coaching life!" Blake exclaimed. Watch the impressive audition below!
When ET spoke with The Voice coaches ahead of season 22, Gwen admitted that, despite the competition, she was having a great time being back on set with her hubby. "It's just pretty fun," she admitted, referencing one of the pair's duets as she added, "Like, 'Happy Anywhere,' you know what I'm saying?"
But while Blake claimed that he's "more competitive" and strategic with Gwen back, John Legend joked that having his wife on set is the country star's "kryptonite."
"She takes the edge off him just a little bit," he explained. "She is his weakness."
As for Blake, he was playing it cool, and praising the "unbelievable" level of talent that singers always bring to The Voice.
"The reason there is four coaches on The Voice is because it takes three people to go against me," he teased.
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. PT/ET on NBC. See more from this season in the video below!

The Australian government has signed a global pledge endorsed by more than 90 countries committing them to reversing biodiversity loss by 2030.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, announced Australia had joined the Leaders’ Pledge for Nature at an event taking place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
In a video message, he said Australia’s approach to environmental challenges had changed and the government understood climate change and the global loss of biodiversity were dual crises.
“This highlights Australia’s reinvigorated approach to protecting our environment and climate leadership and signals our solidarity with other world leaders in our commitment to taking strong action on the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change,” he said.
The Leaders’ Pledge for Nature is the same document the Morrison government refused to sign in 2020 because it called for commitments that were inconsistent with Australia’s policies at the time, including greater ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The pledge was developed by the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), Belize, Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, the EU, Finland, Kenya, Seychelles, the UK and an alliance of organisations.
Countries that have endorsed the pledge have promised actions including stronger global effort to reduce deforestation, halting unsustainable fishing practices, eliminating environmentally harmful subsidies, and beginning the transition to sustainable food production systems and a circular economy during the next decade.
The document promises action to reduce biodiversity loss and stop human-caused extinctions of other species.
In December, countries will meet in Montreal for global talks aimed at securing a new global agreement for nature that has been likened to the Paris agreement for climate change.
Albanese told the event in New York that Australia understood “the urgency of the environmental challenges facing our planet and we’re committed to being a leader in the global fight to solve them”.
He noted Australia’s important position as one of only a handful of megadiverse countries that comprised 10% of the Earth’s surface but were home to more than 70% of its species.
“Working together we can better protect and conserve the world’s land, sea, waterways and cultural heritage for future generations,” he said. “Now is the time to act.”
WWF-Australia’s chief executive, Dermot O’Gorman, said the new government had signalled to other countries that the environment was back as a priority for Australia.
“We look forward to working with the government to ensure this pledge translates into action that helps regenerate Australia and supports our neighbours in the Asia Pacific,” he said.
O’Gorman said Australia’s internationally prized landscapes were deteriorating and the country’s land-clearing and extinction rates were among the highest in the developed world.
The five-yearly State of the Environment report found the health of Australia’s environment was poor and deteriorating and at least 19 ecosystems were showing signs of collapse.
“We are on the frontline of the escalating nature crisis and we can play a global leadership role in addressing it,” O’Gorman said.
The chief executive of the Australian Conservation Foundation, Kelly O’Shanassy, said the prime minister’s announcement was promising.
“We see Mr Albanese’s involvement as an indication that the federal government will start to take the biodiversity crisis seriously,” she said.
She called on Albanese and the environment minister, Tanya Plibersek, to attend the UN biodiversity conference (Cop15) in Montreal in December.
“At present, Australia is failing to meet its international obligations,” she said. “Conservation efforts are hugely underfunded and only 100 of Australia’s more than 1,900 listed threatened species and communities are prioritised for recovery action.”

As emphasized in Part 1, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced to zero in order to curb the adverse effects of climate change. About a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions come from generating electricit. For this reason, there is an ever growing need to generate power from renewable energy sources, which do not emit greenhouse gases directly.
Share of global greenhouse gas emissions by sector
Of the major forms of renewable energy, solar power has seen significant growth in its rate of adoption. Figuring out how to generate power efficiently during daylight hours, when solar light can be used, is key to the technology's future. To address this issue, Toshiba has developed a tandem solar cell, which is a combination of two types of solar cells that maximize the utilization all of the available sunlight. In Part 2, Yamamoto, who leads the project at the Corporate Research & Development Center, and Shibasaki, who has been toiling daily on the frontline, discuss the mass production of these tandem solar cells, their efforts to reduce costs and achieve high power conversion efficiency, and strategies and outlook for their adoption by society.
Cu₂O makes both tandem and standalone strategies possible
Toshiba's tandem solar cell combines a cell made of Cu₂O (cuprous oxide), a material that has never before been used in solar cells, with a cell made of conventional silicon (Si). Yamamoto, who achieved the world's highest power conversion efficiency of 8.4% using Cu₂O, had the following to say. It gets technical, but just remember that solar cells are produced by layering two materials, which form the p-layer and the n-layer.
"Among engineers, most attention tends to fall on the new material, Cu₂O (the p-layer), but it was just as important for us to seek out and improve the material of the n-layer. No, not was important, is important. Even today, we are still researching the n-layer material as we improve the p-layer in order to achieve our short-term goal of 10% power conversion efficiency. This is because the compatibility of the p-layer and n-layer determines the power conversion efficiency."
Kazushige Yamamoto, Fellow at Transducer Technology Lab, Nano Materials and Frontier Research Laboratories, Corporate Research & Development Center, Toshiba Corporation
In fact, even after the team successfully developed a thin Cu₂O film for use as a solar cell, there was a period of time when the tandem solar cell's power conversion efficiency failed to improve. After performing various simulations and studies, the team determined that the cause was an energetic mismatch at the junction between the p-layer (Cu₂O) and n-layer. Therefore, Shibasaki, who is in charge of performing simulations, is still searching for the best match for the p-layer and n-layer by repeatedly adjusting a vast number of parameters and taking measurements.
"The relationship between the p-layer and n-layer is like a seesaw. The power conversion efficiency will go up if we improve the n-layer, but then it will begin to stagnate at a certain level. To increase the power conversion efficiency further, we then have to do something to improve the quality of the p-layer, and when that begins to stagnate, we must readjust the n-layer. We repeat that process over and over.
Initially, we were fumbling in the dark, but little by little, the power conversion efficiency increased. Now we are able to understand the relationship between the p-layer and the n-layer, such as what changes when we manipulate certain parameters, and the correlation between the simulations and actual measured values. We are getting closer and closer to the optimal p-layer and n-layer structure."
Soichiro Shibasaki, Specialist at Transducer Technology Lab, Nano Materials and Frontier Research Laboratories, Corporate Research & Development Center, Toshiba Corporation
Yamamoto's team is also developing a process to remove impurities contained in Cu₂O. Until now, the presence of Cu and CuO in the material, although in very small amounts, had reduced its power conversion efficiency. The team was successful in removing these impurities through a proprietary process. The result, as mentioned above, was the world's highest power conversion efficiency of 8.4%. Yamamoto explains their future outlook and strategy of Cu₂O:
"Our power conversion efficiency target was 10%, but now that we know that the theoretical maximum is almost twice as high, at 19%, we are conducting research and development with an eye toward achieving even higher power conversion efficiency than 10%. Depending on the application, Cu₂O could be commercialized as a solar cell by itself, as well as in tandem with another material, if its efficiency exceeds 15%.
Cu₂O is an extremely hard, durable material, lending itself to use as solar cells in harsh regions such as on islands, where sunlight is strong and damage from salt is a concern, or in cold areas, where frost is an issue. Depending on how research and development goes, we are considering two different strategies: launching it on the market as a tandem solar cell with Si, and starting small with a standalone Cu₂O solar cell before expanding into tandem solar cells."
By removing impurities such as CuO and Cu, the team was able to achieve the world's highest power conversion efficiency with Cu₂O
Breaking through barriers to mass production and establishing technological differentiation
While improving the Cu₂O cell's power conversion efficiency, Toshiba is also developing technologies to mass produce it. A key point is to increase the size of the Cu₂O cell. Shibasaki, who has been working at this task day after day, revealed a hint of enterprising spirit while sharing his outlook:
"The standard size of a Si solar cell, which we will combine with the Cu₂O cell, is 15 x 15 cm. Needless to say, the Cu₂O cell must be enlarged to the same size. Currently, we have succeeded in uniformly increasing the size of the cell to 4 x 4 cm using new equipment we introduced through joint development with Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation. By FY2025, we will enlarge it to the same size as a Si solar cell.
The technology that makes Cu₂O transparent is quite unique and is proprietary to Toshiba. Once we enlarge the Cu₂O film to a commercially viable size, this will be a major point of differentiation and will serve as a barrier to entry for other companies. Going forward, we will develop manufacturing equipment for mass production requiring the precise configuration of a large number of parameters."
At Toshiba, there is a group specializing in manufacturing processes, called the Corporate Manufacturing Engineering Center, with whom the team is closely collaborating. There were many examples of outstanding technologies in the world that have been developed but could not overcome the hurdle of mass production. However, as Shibasaki points out, the hurdle of mass production functions as a barrier to entry for competitors. Overcoming this hurdle will be a major strategic advantage for Toshiba.
High total power conversion efficiency per day, and the ability to effectively utilize solar energy
Toshiba's tandem solar cell has more features that differentiate it from others. On this point, Yamamoto cuts right to the chase, saying, "Actually, the structure of ours is different than that of other tandem solar cells. Toshiba's tandem solar cell has electrodes with four terminals." Let's look carefully at what he means.
The majority of tandem solar cells in existence are monolithic units in which the two types of cells are manufactured in a contiguous process, and the electrodes of each are connected in series to two terminals. Toshiba's tandem solar cell, on the other hand, is made of Cu₂O and Si in separate processes, then stacked using an adhesive. As each cell has its own electrodes, this naturally results in a four-terminal structure. Yamamoto elaborates on the implications of this structure as follows:
"Solar cells, especially those made of Si, generate peak power when sunlight hits their absorbing surface perpendicularly. However, the power conversion efficiency tends to decrease when the sun's rays hit the surface at a tilted angle, and in a tandem solar cell, a gap in power generation between the two types of cells can be expected. When this happens, if the electrodes of each cell are connected in series to two terminals, a phenomenon occurs where the power is drawn to the cell generating the least power, resulting in electrical loss.
Some may say that the four-terminal type we are working on requires more labor to manufacture, but on the other hand, there is no electrical loss as with the two-terminal type, since power generated by each cell is supplied separately. Considering how much the sun's rays shift over the course of a day, our four-terminal type has a greater advantage in terms of total power conversion efficiency per day. I think the reason why many tandem solar cells use two terminals is that people, even those who are familiar with solar cells, have a fixed idea that tandem cells are fabricated by connecting each cell in series. We chose a process and terminal structure based on rational decisions, not on common sense."

Making EVs that run without plug-in charging attainable in the near future
Currently, Si-only solar cells may be low-cost, but their power conversion efficiency is limited to about 27%, and it is theoretically difficult to achieve a higher efficiency than that. Tandem solar cells developed for space exploration use a semiconductor called gallium arsenide (GaAs), which has achieved a power conversion efficiency of about 32-33%, or 1.5 to 2 times higher than Si. These, however, cost hundreds to thousands of times more than Si cells. Yamamoto stressed the importance of achieving social implementation, adding, "If we take the extravagant route, it may be possible for us to replicate our target power conversion efficiency of 30% for tandem solar cells using gallium arsenide, but this would lead to a significant increase in costs, which would not be acceptable for widespread use in society." In this context, what strategy does the team envision for Cu₂O/Si tandem solar cells?
"Si, which is currently the predominant material for solar cells, has been developed over many years to bring down its cost, but its power conversion efficiency is still capped at 27%. On the other hand, gallium arsenide, which has a high efficiency of over 30%, is extremely expensive. For example, it can currently cost as much as 100 thousand dollars just for a GaAs solar cell to generate 1 kW of electricity. Since our Cu₂O/Si tandem solar cell can provide both low cost and high efficiency, we wanted to come up with a product that requires a large amount of power, which Si alone cannot provide on a small footprint.
Our quest to find needs for a solar cell that offers high power conversion efficiency in as little space as possible led us to focus on the mobility sector, which includes electronic vehicles (EVs), trains, and drones, as one of our targets."
One such goal set by Toshiba is "an EV that runs without plug-in charging." For example, if Toshiba's Cu₂O solar cells, which have a power conversion efficiency of 8.4%, are combined with Si solar cells, an estimated power conversion efficiency of 27.4% can be achieved. Assuming that the solar cells cover an area of 3.33 m2 on the roof of the EV and that the standard power consumption of the EV is 12.5 km/kWh, the amount of power generated per day will enable the EV to travel approximately 35 km. This is enough distance to free users from the stress of having to stop in order to recharge the EV battery. Plus, it would also contribute to carbon neutrality, making it a true innovation.

To conclude this story, we once again asked Yamamoto, the team leader, about his vision and thoughts on the technological development and its applications in society.
"As the power conversion efficiency of solar cells improves and costs come down, applications for the technology will expand. We estimate the potential power conversion efficiency of Toshiba's Cu₂O/Si tandem solar cell to be about 40%. In order to get as close as possible to achieving that potential, we are currently in the midst of drafting a new roadmap that involves revising our power conversion efficiency target for Cu₂O solar cells upwards from 10% to something higher.
Measures to combat global warming and climate change continue to be urgent issues. I have a daughter, and I intend to do what I can to contribute to the development of renewable energy technologies, so that society can be a safe place for her to live when she grows up.And, in the future, I hope I'll be able to point out the no-plug charging EVs that have become commonplace in the city and brag to her, 'Those are powered by technology your dad made,'" Yamamoto says, laughing.

SYDNEY, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Australia's central bank on Wednesday said its equity had been wiped out by losses suffered on pandemic-era bond buying, but its ability to create money meant it was not insolvent and would continue as normal.
Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Deputy Governor Michele Bullock said the bank had taken a mark-to-market valuation loss on its bond holdings of A$44.9 billion ($30.02 billion) in 2021/22.
The bonds were accumulated under a A$300 billion emergency stimulus programme that ran from November 2020 to February 2022.
The losses eclipsed underlying earnings of A$8.2 billion and left the central bank with an accounting loss of A$36.7 billion. It also ate up all the RBA's reserve funds, leaving it with a negative net equity position of A$12.4 billion.
Bullock noted that while this would bankrupt a normal commercial entity, the RBA's liabilities are guaranteed by the government.
"Furthermore, since it has the ability to create money, the Bank can continue to meet its obligations as they become due and so it is not insolvent," said Bullock.
"The negative equity position will, therefore, not affect the ability of the Reserve Bank to do its job."
The RBA intends to hold the bonds until maturity and likely make a profit at that time, so offsetting the valuation losses.
Bullock noted other central banks around the world would be facing similar losses on their emergency stimulus programmes, though many did mark their assets to market like the RBA.
In July, the Swiss National Bank SNBN.S reported a first-half loss of 95.2 billion Swiss francs, the biggest since the central bank was founded in 1907.
The RBA also faces ongoing financial losses on its bond holdings which it estimates could range from A$35 billion to as much as A$58 billion out to 2033 when the last of the bonds mature.
As a result, the RBA expects to retain any future profits to rebuild its capital position and thus does not expect to pay any dividend to the government for a number of years, said Bullock.
That also means the RBA would not require a cash injection from the government, as happened in 2013 when the bank suffered valuation losses on its foreign currency reserves.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers earlier said he agreed with the RBA's position and argued the bond buying programme had played a key part in helping the economy through the pandemic.
Chalmers recently set up an independent inquiry into the RBA's policy framework, Board structure and communications.

India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday attributed the four-wicket defeat to Australia in the first T20I on their lacklustre bowling performance, an area which has been a cause for concern for the team with the T20 World Cup 2022 fast approaching. (More Cricket News)
Indian batters Hardik Pandya (71 not out), KL Rahul (55) and Suryakumar Yadav (460 played brilliant innings to help the hosts post 208/6. However, an underwhelming bowling display, in the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, and sloppy fielding that included three dropped catches ensured India's defeat.
“I don't think we bowled well. 200 is a good score to defend, and we didn't take our chances in the field. It was a great effort from our batters, but bowlers were quite not there,” Rohit said at the presentation ceremony.
“You can't score 200 everyday, you need to bat well. Hardik (Pandya) batted really well to get us there. We need to look at our bowling before the next game.” The skipper felt the game highlighted the areas which the team needs to work on heading into the T20 World Cup next month.
“There are things we need to look at, but it was a great game for us to understand what went wrong.” Australia were sailing to victory courtesy Cameron Green's 61-run knock and, despite dismissing the opener and taking three more wickets in quick succession, India couldn't defend their big total.
“We know this is a high-scoring ground. You can't relax even if you get 200. We took wickets to an extent, but they played really well. They played some extra-ordinary shots. If I was in that changing room, I would expect to chase that total. You can back yourself to get 60 runs in the final 4 overs.
“We were not able to take their wicket. That was the turning point, if we would have taken a wickets, things would have been different,” Rohit said. Winning captain Aaron Finch was delighted by the partnerships his side was able to stitch while chasing a huge target.
“We had some really good partnerships, there were some good contests between the bat and ball. They came hard at us. You expect the run rate to slow down if you lose wickets. The batters tried to change the momentum of the game.
“That's what we play for, we still try to instil all the processes leading into the World Cup,” he added. Green, who was opening for the first time, was adjudged Player of the Match for his sensational innings.
“I was thrown into the deep end (opening for the first time) but having someone like Finchy as an experienced campaigner, he kept me calm. We had the luxury of seeing the Indians bat and Hardik must be one of the best in what he does.
“It was kind of good to watch them bat, and that gave us an idea about how to go about while chasing,” Green said.

Japan weighs plan for ban on hotel guests without masks -media
TOKYO, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Japan's government is considering allowing hotels to refuse entry to guests who do not wear masks and follow other measures to control infection during an outbreak, Fuji News Network said on Wednesday.
The government will submit a bill at an extraordinary session of parliament next month that would revise the law governing hotels and inns, allowing them more power to enforce infection measures, the network said.
The move would come at a time when Japan is expected to further ease its COVID-19 border controls, waiving visa requirements for certain tourists and removing a limit on daily arrivals.
The ruling Liberal Democratic Party is scheduled to debate border easing measures on Thursday.
Japanese Prime Minister, who departed on Tuesday for the United Nations General Assembly Meeting, may announce the border easing during a speech at the New York Stock Exchange, the Yomiuri newspaper reported.
Currently, the wearing of masks is not compulsory in Japan but is strongly recommended indoors and on public transport. (Reporting by Rocky Swift; Editing by Raju Gopalakrishnan)

Remarkable photo of Australia and the world's 'bravest' soldiers gathering to farewell the Queen: 'Thank you, your majesty'
- Extraordinary photo shows 17 Victoria Cross and George's Cross recipients preparing to farewell Queen
- Includes some of Australia's most decorated soldiers - Mark Donaldson VC and Ben Roberts-Smith VC
- Mr Roberts-Smith is awaiting the result of a defamation trial against Nine newspapers
- He's suing two newspaper groups that accused him of war crimes, which he vehemently denies
- The Queen's funeral: All the latest Royal Family news and coverage
An extraordinary photo has emerged of some of Australia, New Zealand and and the UK's most decorated soldiers gathered together in London to farewell the Queen.
Seventeen Victoria Cross and George's Cross recipients are seen posing outside the Union Jack Club in central London the day before the Queen's funeral.
The Keith Payne VC Veterans Benefits Group - which is dedicated to Australia's oldest Victoria Cross recipient - shared the picture, saying: 'Thank you, your Majesty, for your long and selfless service.'
One commenter said the men in the picture are 'the bravest of them all'.
Standing not far from Mr Payne, the country's oldest living Victoria Cross winner, was Ben Roberts-Smith - the controversial Australian digger who is awaiting the outcome of a defamation trial against Nine Entertainment Co over war crimes allegations.
Afghan war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith VC (pictured on the extreme left) appeared in a photo with 16 other living George Cross and Victoria Cross winners. Others in the picture include British soldier Johnson Beharry VC (second left), New Zealander Willie Apiata VC (third left), Michael Pratt, Australia's last living GC (fourth left), former British officer Peter Norton GC (in wheelchair), Keith Payne, Australia's oldest living VC (with walking stick), Australian soldier Mark Donaldson VC (in blue suit) and Australian soldier Daniel Keighran VC (fourth from right)
Mr Roberts-Smith, 43, and the other VC recipients were invited to the Queen's funeral by dint of their military virtue.
Mr Roberts-Smith got a Victoria Cross for storming a fortified enemy machine gun position in Afghanistan and killing three insurgents when his unit was pinned down.
They joined officials at the funeral - including Mr Albanese and the Governor-General David Hurley - along with celebrated civilians such as Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott.
Mr Roberts-Smith publicly welcomed his invitation to the service by speaking about the honour of meeting the Queen in 2011.
The decorated digger said it was a 'surreal' experience and that he was 'taken aback' by her 'kindness' and 'intelligence'.
He told the West Australian 'she sort of dropped her handbag on the double-seated couch and pointed for me to sit down...
Ben Roberts-Smith is pictured leaving the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on Monday, July 18, 2022. He is suing two newspaper groups over reports linking him to alleged war crimes in Afghanistan
Ben Robert Smith (pictured centre), 43, is seen at the Queen's funeral on Monday in London
Ben Roberts-Smith (left) opened up about his invitation to attend the Queen's funeral (pictured together in 2011)
'I assumed that she would sit opposite me, but she sat right next to me and grabbed my arm and started talking to me about just having just flown back from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting at that time.'
Mr Roberts-Smith described the late Monarch as 'magnificent', that she was 'stoic leader' and 'a lovely lady'.
'I have a very deep respect for Her Majesty and everything that she has sacrificed in her life and what she has achieved.'
Mr Roberts-Smith launched his defamation action against the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Canberra Times newspapers for publishing accusations he committed war crimes in Afghanistan.
The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald were published by Fairfax Media, which is now owned by Nine, while the Canberra Times is published by Australian Community Media.
The sensational case, which ran for months over the span of 100 days in court, concluded in late July but a verdict is not expected for months.
Though some were surprised at his invitation to the Queen's funeral, he has a huge number of supporters.
One of those said the photo of him with 16 other veterans showed 'Australia's greatest hero's, our country is a far better place for their service they provided! Pride and Honour.'
Another simply said 'Well done to all of you fine men.'
A commenter on another picture in the same series said 'Thank you for your service and respecting Ben Roberts-Smith. God bless you.'
Before flying from Brisbane to London for the funeral, Mr Roberts-Smith lost a tooth.
Ben Roberts-Smith appears to have had a tooth knocked out while on holiday after his epic defamation case ended
He was pictured missing one of his front teeth by Daily Mail Australia at Sydney International Airport after returning from New Zealand on August 31.
Mr Roberts-Smith had been on holiday in the ski and adventure sport resort of Queenstown with his girlfriend, Sarah Matulin.
It is not known what caused the mishap.

Your hair should be neatly separated into three sections, pulled back into a high ponytail, and then tightly braided. Before tying the braids off at the end with an elastic band, make sure they look full. This hairstyle is perfect for your upcoming brunch date! We were in awe of Alia Bhatt’s stunning nude outfit, and the braid gave the entire ensemble a romantic feel. With her low, unkempt ponytail, she looked gorgeous. Her face had a dewy sheen, and the few loose strands of hair perfectly framed her features.
With few accessories, Kiara Advani completed her glammed-up outfit. Her high ponytail with braids added to the tension. You can get the same appearance. Make a high ponytail with your hair, wrap a tiny section of it around the elastic, and secure it with a pin. Divide the remaining hair into two parts, twist them together, and then firmly tie them up to form this magnificent rope braid ponytail. Sonakshi Sinha exuded swagger in her dazzling attire. She put her in a long ponytail with braids. This outfit is ideal for a summertime party.
Over the years, Deepika Padukone has flaunted a number of audacious looks. She is shown here with side-parted, wet hair. She had a low ponytail braided from her short hair. This appearance demonstrates that you can wear this hairstyle with shorter hair.
Simple steps:
1. If your hair isn’t straight, you can use a hair straightener to straighten the locks.
2. Apply a small amount of gel to your hair and comb it through to distribute it evenly to achieve a sleek look.
3. Divide the ponytail into various parts. Both portions should be twisted, wrapped, and rubber-banded together.

The independent arbiter tasked with inspecting documents seized in an FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home said Tuesday he intends to push briskly through the review process and appeared skeptical of the Trump team’s reluctance to say whether it believed the records had been declassified.
“We’re going to proceed with what I call responsible dispatch,” Raymond Dearie, a veteran Brooklyn judge, told lawyers for Trump and the Justice Department in their first meeting since his appointment last week as a so-called special master.
The purpose of the meeting was to sort out next steps in a review process expected to slow by weeks, if not months, the criminal investigation into the retention of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House. As special master, Dearie will be responsible for sifting through the thousands of documents recovered during the Aug. 8 FBI search and segregating any that might be protected by claims of executive privilege or attorney-client privilege.
Though Trump’s lawyers had requested the appointment of a special master to ensure an independent review of the documents, they have resisted Dearie’s request for more information about whether the seized records had been previously declassified — as Trump has maintained. His lawyers have consistently stopped short of that claim even as they asserted in a separate filing Tuesday that the Justice Department had not proven that the documents were classified. In any event, they say, a president has absolute authority to declassify information.
“In the case of someone who has been president of the United States, they have unfettered access along with unfettered declassification authority,” one of Trump’s lawyers, James Trusty, said in court Tuesday.
But Dearie said that if Trump’s lawyers will not actually assert that the records have been declassified, and the Justice Department instead makes an acceptable case that they remain classified, then he would be inclined to regard them as classified.
“As far as I’m concerned,” he said, “that’s the end of it.”
In a letter to Dearie on Monday night, the lawyers said the declassification issue might be part of Trump’s defense in the event of an indictment. And Trusty said in court Tuesday that the Trump team should not be forced at this point in the investigation to disclose details of a possible defense based on the idea the records had been declassified.
He denied that the lawyers were trying to engage in “gamesman-like” behavior but instead said it was a process that required “baby steps.” He said the right time for the discussion is whenever Trump presses forward with a claim to get any seized property back.
Dearie said he understood the position but observed, “I guess my view of it is, you can’t have your cake and eat it” too.
The resistance to the judge’s request was notable because it was Trump’s lawyers, not the Justice Department, who had requested the appointment of a special master and because the recalcitrance included an acknowledgment that the probe could be building toward an indictment.
Despite the focus on whether the seized documents are classified or not, the three statutes the Justice Department listed on a warrant as part of its investigation do not require that the mishandled information be classified in order for prosecutors to initiate a criminal case.
The Trump team has also questioned the feasibility of some of the deadlines for the special master’s review. That work includes inspecting the roughly 11,000 documents, including about 100 marked as classified, that were taken during the FBI’s search.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee who granted the Trump team’s request for a special master, had set a Nov. 30 deadline for Dearie’s review and instructed him to prioritize the tranche of classified records.
Dearie, a Ronald Reagan appointee whose name is on the atrium of his Brooklyn courthouse, made clear during Tuesday’s meeting that he intended to meet the deadlines, saying there was “little time” to complete the assigned tasks.
Julie Edelstein, a Justice Department lawyer, said she was hopeful that the department could get the documents digitized and provided to Trump’s lawyers by early next week. She noted that the department had given the legal team a list of five vendors approved by the government for the purposes of scanning, hosting and otherwise processing the seized records.
After some haggling, Dearie instructed Trusty’s lawyers to choose a vendor by Friday.
Earlier Tuesday, the Trump legal team urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit to leave in place Cannon’s order temporarily barring the Justice Department’s use of the classified records for its criminal investigation while Dearie completes his review. The department is also contesting Cannon’s requirement that it provide Dearie with classified materials for his review, saying such records are not subject to any possible claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege.
The department has also said that Cannon’s order has impeded its investigation.
Trump’s lawyers called those concerns overblown in a response Tuesday, saying investigators could still do other work on the probe even without scrutinizing the seized records.
“Ultimately, any brief delay to the criminal investigation will not irreparably harm the Government,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “The injunction does not preclude the Government from conducting a criminal investigation, it merely delays the investigation for a short period while a neutral third party reviews the documents in question.”
Sisak reported from New York.

Germany nationalizes Uniper as energy crisis with Russia deepens
By Kirsti Knolle and Essi Lehto
BERLIN/HELSINKI, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Germany nationalized Uniper on Wednesday after an earlier multi-billion euro bailout failed to keep the gas importer afloat and President Vladimir Putin sent oil prices higher by announcing a partial Russian military mobilization.
Berlin agreed to buy the remaining stake owned by Finland's Fortum in the German gas importer to secure its operations and keep its business going, the latest move to keep the lights on and heaters running in Germany this winter.
European gas and power prices have rocketed this year as Russia cut fuel exports to retaliate for Western sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine, leaving consumers struggling with sky-high energy bills and European utilities grappling with a liquidity crunch.
"The state will ... do everything possible to always keep the companies stable on the market," German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said, announcing the Uniper move and other steps to help Germany avoid energy rationing this winter.
Alongside surging European gas prices, crude oil jumped more than 2% on Wednesday after Putin announced the partial military mobilization, escalating the war in Ukraine and raising concerns of even tighter global energy supplies.
"The (Russian) move could possibly lead to calls for more aggressive action against Russia in terms of sanctions from the West," said Warren Patterson, head of commodities research at ING.
After buying Fortum's stake, the German state will hold about 99% of Uniper, the economy ministry said.
The agreement involves a capital injection of 8 billion euros ($7.94 billion), Uniper said. The German government's capital injection bring the total bailout package to least 29 billion euros.
PRICE CAP PLANS
Russia, which until the invasion of Ukraine had supplied about 40% of the Europe Union's gas needs, has cut flows via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany and beyond, saying sanctions have hampered operations to keep it running. The EU calls that a pretext and says Moscow is using energy as a weapon.
Russia flows via Ukraine have continued, but at a reduced rate. Gazprom, the Kremlin-controlled company which has a monopoly on Russian gas exports by pipeline, said it would ship 42.4 million cubic meters of gas to Europe via Ukraine on Wednesday, in line with recent days.
Eastbound gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Poland from Germany were halted on Wednesday, while Russian supply via Ukraine held stable.
In the United States, Democratic and Republican senators on Tuesday proposed that U.S. President Joe Biden's administration use secondary sanctions on international banks to strengthen plans for price cap by G7 countries on Russian oil.
Moscow has said it would cut all oil and gas flows to the West if such cap was implemented.
The move by U.S. lawmakers came hours before Putin ordered Russia's first mobilization since World War Two, warning the West that if it continued what he called its "nuclear blackmail" Moscow would respond with its vast arsenal.
Several countries have banned imports of Russian crude and fuel, but Moscow has managed to maintain its revenues through increased crude sales to Asia.

Qatar planning for World Cup fans to avoid prosecution for minor offenses - Sources
By Andrew Mills
DOHA, Sept 21 (Reuters) - World Cup fans in Qatar caught committing minor offenses such as public drunkenness will escape prosecution under plans being developed by authorities in the conservative Muslim host nation, a diplomat and a person familiar with Qatari briefings to foreign police told Reuters.
While the policing strategy for the competition, which kicks off in less than two months, has yet to be finalized, organizers have told diplomats and police from qualified countries they intend to show flexibility for relatively minor infringements, the sources said.
The signals reflect the delicate balance which Qatar, a tiny Arab state where many follow the same puritanical school of Sunni Islam as in neighboring Saudi Arabia, is trying to strike between respecting religious traditions and accommodating the raucous exuberance of more than a million visiting soccer fans.
Qatar's World Cup organizers, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Leagacy, did not respond to a request for comment.
"Increased leniency pleases the international community, but comes with the risk that it might upset conservatives inside the country," another Western diplomat said.
Organizers have not publicly clarified their approach to policing, and many embassies have warned fans they face punishment for behavior that would be tolerated elsewhere.
"Remember, while you're in Qatar, you are subject to local laws," U.S. diplomat Morgan Cassell said in a YouTube video.
According to Qatar's legal code, freedom of expression is restricted, homosexuality is illegal and sex outside marriage is outlawed. Public drunkenness can incur a prison sentence of up to six months and some things considered benign elsewhere like public displays of affection or wearing revealing clothes can be grounds for arrest.
"Arguing with or insulting others in public could lead to arrest. Activities like protests, religious proselytizing, advocacy of atheism and criticism of the government of Qatar or the religion of Islam may be criminally prosecuted here. That applies to your social media posts, too," Cassell said.
LAWS RELAXED
However organizers already intend to relax Qatar's strict laws limiting the public sale of alcohol, and will allow beer to be served near stadiums a few hours before matches kick off.
Informally, they have also told police from European countries which have qualified for the tournament and some diplomats in Doha to expect police to show flexibility in enforcing other laws, such as drunkenness or public disorder.
"Minor offenses won't result in a fine or arrest, but police will be instructed to go to a person and ask him or her to comply...Someone who removes a T-shirt in public will be asked to put his T-shirt back on. There is some sort of tolerance," said the person familiar with Qatari briefings of several European police sending officers to Qatar.
While Qatari authorities have not confirmed this approach, special legislation taking effect during the tournament gives Qatar's World Cup security chief - known as the Gold Commander - significant leeway in tackling violations of Qatar's laws.
It says the commander, in coordination with authorities, can take decisions including how to treat "acts in violation of the provisions of the laws in force in the country."
Police plan tougher action when the safety of people or property is under threat, World Cup organizers told diplomats in a briefing a few months ago, several diplomats said.
Fans who commit such acts, like using flares or fireworks which could cause damage, or being involved in a fight - even where there are no serious injuries - can expect to face fines and cancellation of their 'Hayya card', the permit to enter Qatar and access stadiums, the source said.
It was not clear whether fans who forfeit their Hayya card would be given a deadline to leave the country, or would be detained for deportation.
Security is just one challenge facing Qatar, the first Middle East country to host a soccer World Cup and the smallest nation to do so. With a population of less than 3 million people, it will host an influx of 1.2 million fans - an unprecedented challenge for the Gulf Arab state.
To help the policing effort, organizers have invited each qualified country to send at least four police officers to be on the ground in Qatar during the World Cup, the source with knowledge of policing plans said.
They will be based at a Ministry of Interior command center and around the capital Doha to advise their Qatari counterparts.
"They will police it as they see fit...Our job is to say 'This is how we think you should deal with our fans because that's what gets the best results'," said Mark Roberts, Chief Constable of the Cheshire police and the UK´s policing lead on soccer.

Putin’s nuke threats to the West comes hours after America branded referendums in Ukraine’s four territories annexed by Russia as ‘shams with no legitimacy’
- Biden was already set to blast invasion as unjust war at UN General Assembly
- He will now react to the clear nuke threat to the West made by Putin earlier
- White House yesterday slammed Russia's plans to hold referendums in annexed Ukraine territories
- Biden's national security adviser called referendums affront to sovereignty
Putin's nuke threats to the West came hours after America branded scheduled referendums in Ukraine's four territories annexed by Russia as 'shams with no legitimacy.'
Before the Russian leader's words, Biden was already set to blast his invasion as an unjust war and naked aggression at the UN General Assembly.
That will now be a reaction to the clear threat to the West.
Russian-controlled regions of eastern and southern Ukraine announced the plans to hold the Kremlin-backed referendums in the days ahead on becoming part of Russia as Moscow is losing ground in the invasion.
Referendums will be held in Donetsk and Luhansk - which together make up the Donbas - as well as occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
The White House on Tuesday rejected these plans to hold referendums in parts of Ukraine and said Moscow may be making the move to recruit troops in those areas after suffering extensive losses on the battlefield.
Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden's national security adviser, called the referendums an affront to principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

At the UN General Assembly, Biden is set to say that the invasion is an affront to the heart of what the international body stands for as he looks to rally allies to stand firm in backing the Ukrainian resistance.
He is largely using his visit to the UN this year for a full-throated condemnation of Russia as the war reaches the seven-month mark, according to White House officials.
Mr Sullivan said: 'He´ll offer a firm rebuke of Russia´s unjust war in Ukraine and make a call to the world to continue to stand against the naked aggression that we´ve seen these past several months.
'He will underscore the importance of strengthening the United Nations and reaffirm core tenets of its charter at a time when a permanent member of the Security Council has struck at the very heart of the charter by challenging the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty.'
Also during his time at the UN General Assembly, Biden plans to meet with British Prime Minister Liz Truss, announce a global food security initiative and press allies to meet an $18 billion target to replenish the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

It comes as fears grow that a recession could be round the corner in Europe.
Concerns are also growing that time is running out to revive the Iran nuclear deal over China's saber-rattling on Taiwan.
Last year at the General Assembly, Biden focused on global partnership, urging world leaders to act with haste against the coronavirus, climate change and human rights abuses.
He also offered assurances that his presidency marked a return of American leadership to international institutions following Donald Trump's 'America First' foreign policy.
But one year later, global dynamics have dramatically changed.
Last year at the General Assembly, Biden focused on global partnership, urging world leaders to act with haste against the coronavirus, climate change and human rights abuses. Pictured: Biden arrives in New York yesterday
Stewart Patrick, senior fellow and director of the Global Order and Institutions Program at the Washington think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote in an analysis that Biden´s task this year is 'immense' compared to his first address to the U.N. as president.
Mr Patrick said: 'Last year, the U.S. leader won easy plaudits as the `anti-Trump,´ pledging that `America was back.
'This year demands more. The liberal, rules-based international system is reeling, battered by Russian aggression, Chinese ambitions, authoritarian assaults, a halting pandemic recovery, quickening climate change, skepticism of the U.N.´s relevance, and gnawing doubts about American staying power.'
Beyond diplomacy, the president is also doing some politicking. This year's gathering comes less than seven weeks before pivotal midterm elections in the United States.
Shortly after arriving in Manhattan on Tuesday night, Biden spoke at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser for about 100 participants that raised nearly $2 million, and he's set to hold another fundraiser on Thursday before heading back to Washington.

His Wednesday address comes on the heels of Ukrainian forces retaking control of large stretches of territory near Kharkiv.
But even as Ukrainian forces have racked up battlefield wins, much of Europe is feeling painful blowback from economic sanctions levied against Russia. A vast reduction in Russian oil and gas has led to a sharp jump in energy prices, skyrocketing inflation and growing risk of Europe slipping into a recession.
Biden's visit to the U.N. also comes as his administration's efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal appears stalled.
The deal brokered by the Obama administration - and scrapped by Trump in 2018 - provided billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for Iran´s agreement to dismantle much of its nuclear program and open its facilities to extensive international inspection.
Sullivan said no breakthrough with Iran is expected during the General Assembly but Biden would make clear in his speech that a deal can still be done 'if Iran is prepared to be serious about its obligations.' He added that administration officials would be consulting with fellow signatories of the 2015 deal on the sidelines of this week's meetings.
China's President Xi Jin Ping, pictured, opted not to attend this year's U.N. gathering, but his country's conduct and intentions will loom large during the leaders' talks
This year's U.N. gathering is back to being a full-scale, in-person event after the pandemic. In 2020, the in-person gathering was canceled and leaders instead delivered prerecorded speeches; last year was a mix of in-person and prerecorded speeches. Biden and first lady Jill Biden were set to host a leaders' reception on Wednesday evening.
China's President Xi Jin Ping opted not to attend this year's U.N. gathering, but his country's conduct and intentions will loom large during the leaders' talks.
Last month, the U.N. human rights office raised concerns about possible 'crimes against humanity' in China's western region against Uyghurs and other largely Muslim ethnic groups. Beijing has vowed to suspend cooperation with the office and blasted what it described as a Western plot to undermine China´s rise.
Meanwhile, China´s government on Monday said Biden´s statement in a CBS '60 Minutes' interview that American forces would defend Taiwan if Beijing tried to invade the self-ruled island was a violation of U.S. commitments on the matter, but it gave no indication of possible retaliation.
The White House said after the interview that there has been no change in U.S. policy on Taiwan, which China claims as its own. That policy says Washington wants to see Taiwan´s status resolved peacefully but doesn´t say whether U.S. forces might be sent in response to a Chinese attack.

REVEALED: The footy star who was told to 'sit down!' by angry AFL boss Gillon McLachlan after Brownlow Medal crowd had been drinking for four hours
- Gillon McLachlan lost his cool with an Adelaide star at the Brownlow ceremony
- Ben Keays was carrying on after winning 11 points at this year's awards
- Players had been drinking for four hours before Keays was told to 'sit down!'
Gillon McLachlan lost his cool with an Adelaide Crows star as Sunday's booze-fuelled Brownlow Medal crowd became raucous during the dramatic ceremony in Melbourne.
Carlton star Patrick Cripps won the AFL's top individual prize after landing three points in the Blues' Round 23 clash with Collingwood, sneaking past Gold Coast's Touk Miller with 29 points.
And AFL chief McLachlan had to keep a lid on a merry crowd at Melbourne's Crown Casino as a number of players enjoyed proceedings after a long season, the Herald Sun reports.
AFL chief Gillon McLachlan told an Adelaide star to 'sit down' after four hours on the beers
Adelaide Crows gun Ben Keays was part of a boisterous group at the Brownlow ceremony
Four hours into the ceremony, with drinks flowing, McLachlan spotted a few of the players beginning to get unruly before he snapped: 'Sit down'.
It has since been revealed that Crows star Ben Keays was on the receiving end of the death stare and spray, with the 25-year-old carrying on after receiving 11 votes for the season.
This year's Brownlow Medal winner, Cripps, admitted that he wants to be sober at next year's awards - hinting that Carlton have their sights set on a grand final appearance.
'To be honest, by the end of the game [Round 23 v Collingwood] I was that numb,' he said.
'I'd rather get zero touches and win than play the way I did.
'I'd love to be sober this time next year. That's my goal.'

On 21 September 2001, counselling service 0800 What’s Up answered its very first phone call. Twenty-one years on, or close to 1.5 million answered calls and over 29,000 answered chats later, Barnardos’ 0800 What’s Up helpline is needed now more than ever.
0800 What’s Up was created to offer a service which didn’t exist at the time: the possibility for tamariki and rangatahi to talk to a trained counsellor over the phone. In order to thrive, tamariki and rangatahi need to feel listened to, safe and valued. To this day, 0800 What’s Up remains the only helpline in Aotearoa offering free counselling service to children and young people from 5-19 years.
"Helplines play an important role in the continuum of support and care for people experiencing mental distress and poor mental wellbeing. Our early intervention approach means that we focus on helping build resilience, empowering children and young people by supporting them to solve their own problems, providing tools and strategies before things get too hard," explains Jo Harrison, Barnardos General Manager Child and Family Services.
After 21 years of answering calls and chats, our trained counsellors know and understand the complex and evolving issues that are affecting tamariki and rangatahi, such as mental health and wellbeing, suicidality, relationship issues, self-harm, bullying and family violence.
"We know that Aotearoa is experiencing a child and youth mental health and wellbeing crisis, and the services to support these are oversubscribed and struggling to meet the needs. The impact of COVID-19 on health, education, and employment uncertainty, as well as the rising costs of living, housing affordability, and other global factors at play means that the world our children and young people are growing up in is full of distressing and difficult challenges. This is why, 21 years on since that very first phone call, 0800 What’s Up is needed more than ever, for the early intervention work we do, but also supporting our tamariki and rangatahi when things can seem very bleak " says Jo Harrison.
Over the years, our helpline has kept young people at the centre of our approach. In 2014, 0800 What’s Up was the first helpline in Aotearoa to introduce a web chat service for tamariki and rangatahi. The ability for young people to have regular and recurring counselling sessions with the counsellor of their choice is unique aspect of 0800 What’s Up which directly responds to the needs of children and young people.
"On the day of 0800 What’s Up’s birthday, Barnardos wishes to thank all the people who have allowed the service to run over the years - our staff, funders, corporate partners, donors, as well as the young people themselves who have had the courage to call us or jump online and reach out. This is an incredible milestone, which we couldn’t have reached without all the people involved. Thank you all," says Jo Harrison.

Youths warned laughing gas misuse could lead to nerve damage
- Credit: PA
Young people are being warned nitrous oxide misuse could lead to nerve damage and spinal injuries.
Experts said that nitrous oxide, which is known as laughing gas, or balloons, has become increasingly popular but many users are unaware of the long-term dangers.
It is now the second most used recreational drug by 16-24 year olds with almost one in 10 reporting having taken the drug.
An inquest in 2020 cited inhalation of nitrous oxide as a factor in the death of 17-year-old Thetford student Patryk Borzuta.
As a result of the rise in cases, Queen Mary University has launched a campaign – N20: Know The Risks – to try to highlight the dangers.
Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology, said: “We used to see people with tingling and numbness in their legs or difficulty walking but this year we’ve had several people who literally can’t walk at all when they come to hospital.”
Last year the government launched a review into whether unlawful possession should be made a criminal offence.
However, Norfolk charities dealing with substance abuse among young people in the county suggested this was the wrong approach.

Jimmy Kimmel has signed a new three year deal to keep hosting his late night talk show.
The 54-year-old star - who has fronted and executive produced 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' since its launch in 2003 - will be staying on air beyond next year's two decade milestone after putting pen to paper on an extension before his contract was due to expire in 2023.
In a statement, he quipped: "After two decades at ABC, I am now looking forward to three years of what they call ‘quiet quitting.'"
ABC hailed Jimmy a "huge part" of their family, and hailed his "dynamic interviews and irreverent humour".
ABC Entertainment president Craig Erwich said: "For 20 years, Jimmy Kimmel has been a huge part of the ABC family.
"Not only has he entertained our audience's night after night with his sharp comedy, dynamic interviews and irreverent humor, but he has gotten us through some of the most momentous events in our history with optimism and heart."
Back in June - before his run was extended beyond 2023 - Jimmy admitted he wasn't sure what his next move was going to be.
He explained: "I wish I knew I was gonna do. I have moments where I go, ‘I cannot do this anymore.’ And I have moments where I go, ‘what am I gonna do with my life if I’m not doing this anymore?’
"It’s a very complicated thing. And there are practical considerations, and there are family and friend considerations and co worker considerations."
Meanwhile, he admitted he was aware that his run on late night TV couldn't last forever, and he'd have to make a tough decision one day.
He added: "And eventually, I am going to have to stop doing this. I’m not going to do this forever.
"I would not be honest at all if I said that I have decided one way or the other. I’m thinking about it a lot, though.”

Queen's beloved niece Lady Sarah Chatto looks solemn as she attends the Queen's funeral at Westminster Abbey with son Arthur, 23
- Lady Sarah Chatto, the daughter of the late Princess Margaret, attended the Queen's funeral today
- The Queen's beloved niece, 58, who was joined by her family, donned all-black and looking solemn
- She opted for a low key black hat and pinned a large silver floral brooch to her black dress coat

The Queen's beloved niece appeared mournful in an all-black ensemble as she paid her respects at the late monarch's funeral at Westminster Abbey today.
Lady Sarah Chatto, 58, was visibly emotional as she attended the final tribute to the Queen's life, wearing a black dress coat and hat.
Princess Margaret's daughter enjoyed a warm relationship with her aunt throughout her life, and remained close to Her Majesty and Prince Philip following her mother's death in 2002.
Sarah, also the daughter of Anthony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl Snowdon, was accompanied by one of her sons, Arthur Chatto, 23, who is training to be an officer for the Royal Marines.

She was pictured with her husband Daniel Chatto, and her son Samuel, 26, also made an appearance. She joined other members of the royal family to pay their respects to the late monarch.
Last week an emotional Sarah attended the service at Westminster Hall following the Queen's procession, once again dressed in all-black.

Sarah, who is married to Daniel Chatto, was once described by a royal insider as sharing a 'sense of loyalty, fun, duty and the ridiculous' with the Queen.
'The Queen adores Sarah and seeks out her company as often as possible. She is her absolute favourite younger royal,' they said. 'They are hugely at ease in each other’s company. Much giggling can be heard when they are together. They share a sense of loyalty, fun, duty and the ridiculous.'

Lady Sarah Chatto was born in 1964 — the last royal baby born at a palace rather than a hospital — within weeks of cousins Prince Edward, Lady Helen Windsor and James Ogilvy.
The Queen has been described as a 'surrogate mother' to the siblings and was particularly close to Lady Sarah, who is understood to remind Her Majesty of her late sister.
Hundreds of thousands of Brits have queued to see the Queen lying in state this week, as the official period of mourning ends today.
Well-wishers waited for up to thirty hours to pay tribute as people from around the world sent their condolences to the longest running head of state.

Police have also been granted a no-fly zone order over London on today, which will follow 10 days of mourning.
As well as thousands of uniformed Metropolitan Police bobbies drafted into action, plain-clothes officers will also mingle among crowds to monitor any threats.

2,000 royals, world leaders and hundreds of members of the public have began filing into the Abbey as billions around the world will watch Her Majesty's state funeral.
Funeral flowers in the abbey featured myrtle - which was used in the Queen's wedding bouquet as is royal tradition. The huge white and green displays of blooms included asiatic lilies, gladioli, alstroemeria, eustoma and foliage of English oak, weeping birch and the sprigs of myrtle.
Around the coffin will stand the four tall yellow candles which usually rest around the grave of the unknown warrior at the entrance to the historic church.
And outside hardy royal fans defied no-camping rules, as people of all ages set up tents, deck chairs and even a makeshift minibar to grab premium seats for the spectacle that will see 2million flood into the capital. By 8.30am member of the public were told that the procession route was full and began diverting people to Hyde Park to watch on the big screens.

China's crude oil demand rebounds as refiners prepare to ramp up output
By Muyu Xu and Chen Aizhu
SINGAPORE, Sept 21 (Reuters) - At least three Chinese state oil refineries and a privately run mega refiner are considering increasing runs by up to 10% in October from September, eyeing stronger demand and a possible surge in fourth-quarter fuel exports, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Chinese refiners are expecting Beijing to release up to 15 million tonnes worth of oil products export quotas for the rest of the year to support the no. 2 economy's sagging exports. Such a move would signal a reversal in China's oil products export policy, add to global supplies and depress fuel prices.
After a recent slide in benchmark Brent crude prices to below $100 a barrel, Chinese refiners have taken arbitrage opportunities to boost stockpiles, traders said, booking supertankers to haul crude oil to China from the Americas and Middle East.
An official with a state refinery said his plant is eyeing a 10% hike in runs from September to about 240,000 barrels per day (bpd). "We're raising runs next month in preparation for a possible opening in exports, though nobody has a clear idea how big the opening would be," the official said.
A second official with another state refinery said his plant is also planning about an 8% hike in throughput next month, but added that the plan had been driven by firmer domestic margins. A third state refinery expects to restart a 60,000-bpd crude unit next month after maintenance, one of the sources said.
China's single largest refinery Zhejiang Petrochemical Corp, which is capable of processing 800,000 barrels per day of crude, is aiming to ramp up runs in the coming months from the current levels of 700,000-750,000 bpd, according to two sources familiar with its operations.
A ZPC representative confirmed the firm is considering a run increase due to signs of economic recovery, but declined to elaborate further.
Average refining rates at China's state-owned refineries had climbed to 73.74% as of last week, up 2.56% from end-August, according to Chinese brokerage SHZQ Futures.
Run rates at independent refineries in Shandong, whose combined refining capacity accounts for a fifth of China's total, also rebounded last week after falling for five weeks since mid-July.
MORE SHIPMENTS
The rebound in China's crude demand has boosted the lumpsum freight rates for Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) sailing from the U.S. Gulf and the Middle East to China to their highest since May 2020 at about $10 million, according to data from Simpson Spence Young on Refinitiv Eikon.
"I believe that China-bound freight rates strengthen on the hope of a China demand recovery... the rumour of an extra large amount of product exports in Q4 also fueled market optimism," said Emma Li, an analyst from Vortexa Analytics.
U.S. crude arriving in China in October is expected to hit the highest since December 2020 at 450,000 bpd, up from about 300,000 bpd in the August-September period, said Vitkor Katona, lead crude analyst from analytics firm Kpler.
Middle East crude shipments to China are also rising, with September loadings set to reach 4.7 million bpd, 4% higher than in August and 8% higher than July, Kpler data showed.
Onshore crude inventories in China fell to about 986 million barrels in mid-September, down 6% from a peak of 1,049 million barrels at end-June, according to data analytics consultancy Kayrros.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark has tested positive for Covid-19 just 24 hours after attending the Queen's funeral and mourning events in London.
Vaccinated Margrethe, 82, who is Europe's longest serving current head of state, and the only current queen regnant, tested positive for the virus on Tuesday evening, the royal household said.
On Monday, she was in attendance at Westminster Abbey along with her son Crown Prince Frederik, and the two went on to the Queen's Committal Service in Windsor afterward.
The monarch also paid her respects to the Queen by visiting her coffin in Westminster Hall on Sunday night, and attended the Buckingham Palace 'reception of the century' where she was pictured chatting closely with King Charles.
On Monday, Westminster Abbey was packed fill of 2,000 people including world leaders, foreign royals and several hundred ordinary Britons chosen by the Queen for her funeral.
Representatives of more than 20 Royal Families were present at the service including the reigning monarchs of the Netherlands, Spain and Norway.
Queen Margrethe of Denmark, 82, has tested positive for Covid-19 days after attending the Queen 's funeral and mourning events in London
Earlier this week, she was in attendance at Westminster Abbey along with her son Crown Prince Frederik, and the two went on to the Queen's Committal Service in Windsor afterward
The Queen is believed to have travelled to London ahead of the funeral over the weekend.
On Sunday, she joined other foreign royalty in paying respect to the late Queen as she went to view her coffin in Westminster Hall.
She was pictured looking highly emotional at the event, where she joined her son Frederik to pay tribute to the Queen.
She was also spotted shedding a tear in front of the Queen's coffin before the funeral on Monday.
Kings and Queens from around the worlds sat side-by-side in Westminster Abbey today as they mourned the death of Queen Elizabeth II during her state funeral (pictured: 1. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands 2. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands 3. King Willem-Alexander 4. Queen Silvia of Sweden 5. King Carl Gustaf of Sweden 6. Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark 7.

Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein 26. Hereditary Prince Alois)
The following day, she attended the Queen's State Funeral at Westminster Abbey.
The British government issued a directive asking attendees of the Queen's funeral to arrive by coach instead of taking their own transport.
Margrethe is understood to have been on one of the buses, where she was likely in relatively close quarters with a number of other attendees.
She was among Europe's royals who waited up to 20 minutes at a bus stop after the Queen's coffin had set off on its journey from Westminster Abbey to Windsor.
When she did arrive, she was seated in the front row, alongside her son Frederik, and next to Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf of Sweden.
Behind her were King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain.
Meanwhile, she was spotted chatting happily with a number of other royals, including Silvia and Carl Gustaf.
The Queen went on to attend the Committal Service in Windsor, where she was seen arriving with Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece.
After the event, the Danish royal household shared a number of images from the funeral - including one of King Charles III - as well as one of Margrethe and Frederik arriving at Westminster Abbey on Instagram.
The caption read: 'For seven decades, Queen Elizabeth II was Head of State for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as the British Commonwealth Society.
'Queen Elizabeth died on the 8th September, and Westminster Abbey in London today formed the frame for the former monarch's state funeral.
'From the Danish side, Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participated in the ecclesiastical ceremony, which included both the sermon, Bible readings, two minutes of silence and where the church guests finally sang the national anthem "God save the King" in honour of the empire's new monarch, His Majesty King Charles III.'
On Sunday, she joined other foreign royalty in paying respect to the late Queen as she went to view her coffin in Westminster Hall

A statement shared by the palace today read: 'Her Majesty the Queen tested positive for COVID-19 last night and is now staying at Fredensborg Castle. The Queen's activities this week have thus been cancelled.
'Friday's evening party at Christiansborg Castle for the Danish members of the government, the Folketing and the European Parliament will be held with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess as hosts.'
Denmark's Queen, who received a third dose of the vaccine in November, has previously had Covid-19, having tested positive for the virus in February.
Queen Margrethe held a close relationship with Queen Elizabeth II and was among the first international monarch to pay tribute to Her Majesty.
Both Queens are great-great granddaughters of Queen Victoria - making them third cousins - with Margrethe often looking up to Elizabeth like a big sister.
In May, Margrethe told the UK's ITV news that Elizabeth, 14 years her senior, was a 'huge inspiration' to her as the only other living Queen.
'[Queen Elizabeth] was 26 when she became Queen. When I was growing up, I hoped I wouldn't be as young as that when my father died. It made an enormous impression on me. The fact that she was dedicating her life.
'I understood what that meant. This is for life. That is the whole point of my life. And I know she sees that too,' she said.
'When I was growing up, my mother and father said to me, 'look at what they do in England' and I could see that it could be done and it was worthwhile and you could live a very full life with it, even with a heavy schedule and demanding job.'
The mother-of-two added that both Queens see their roles as 'dedication' and 'a job' and the way that Elizabeth 'faced her duties' 'inspired her'.
'The way she has faced her duties, the way she has dedicated her life, and she does it with a smile. She has been through many things,' she added.
'When you get to my age, you don't have the emptiness, what am I going to do tomorrow? I know jolly well what I am going to do tomorrow, and the next day, and the following year.'
The pair, also had sweet nicknames for one another. Margrethe called Elizabeth by her childhood nickname 'Lilibet' while Elizabeth called Margrethe 'Daisy'.
The Danish monarch is known as 'Aunt Daisy' to many in her family as she was named after her grandmother, Princess Margareta of Sweden, and her name is similar to the Nordic word for the daisy flower.
'We are definitely affectionate, but I don't want to splash it all over the place,' she told ITV of Elizabeth II.
The pair also have a love of dogs in common. While Elizabeth will forever be associated with corgis, Margrethe is known in Denmark for her love of dogs.
While Elizabeth got her first corgi as a child, it was Margrethe's late husband Prince Henrik who introduced her to dachshunds.
Margrethe was also among the first royals to pay tribute to the Queen upon her death last week.
In a statement she wished the new King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla her 'deepest thoughts and prayers' after Elizabeth II passed away peacefully at Balmoral.
The 82-year-old was among a number of foreign royals with attended the event on Monday (pictured, behind King Juan Carlos of Spain and his wife Queen Sofia)
Entering Westminster Abbey, the Queen was seen standing between King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden and King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain (pictured)
The Queen was in attendance at the event and sitting directly next to her son Crown Prince Frederik
Another image shows the Queen chatting with Carl Gustaf and Silvia as they left Westminster Abbey after the funeral
Speaking on behalf of the Danish family she was 'deeply moved' by the sad news of her 'beloved mother's death'.
'I send you and Camilla my warmest thoughts and prayers,' she said.
'She was a towering figure among the European monarchs and a great inspiration to us all. We shall miss her terribly.
'Her 70 years of reign and service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth are an unprecedented and remarkable achievement.
'We shall always remember her important contributions to their development and prosperity.'

Scotland Under-21 cap Elliot Anderson has penned a new long-term contract with Newcastle United.
The 19-year-old was born in the North-East of England and is eligible to play for both Scotland and England at international level. He's represented the Scots since Under-16 level though and earned his first cap for the Under-21s back in the summer. Having made three substitute appearances under Eddie Howe this season, hopes are high for Anderson and there could soon be a rush to get him capped at senior level.
His deal had been due to expire in a year's time but Newcastle have announced a new long-term contract for the youngster, who plays as an attacking midfielder or a winger. He said: "I'm really happy. I love playing for Newcastle United, and committing my future to the club is something I've really wanted to do.
"It was my aim coming back into pre-season to work hard and earn the opportunity to stick around. I have really enjoyed being with the first team group, so hopefully I can keep improving and contribute to the team."
Newcastle head coach Howe added: "We are all delighted with Elliot's development. He is a natural talent, but he also has an excellent work ethic and always wants to learn. I know our supporters will be especially pleased to see another local boy coming through from the Academy into the first team. Elliot has earned that chance, and he has set a great example to our young players.
"He is just at the start of his journey at this level but he has a very exciting future ahead and we are delighted that his journey will continue here."

A shirtless man was captured knocking over three others in a horrifying brawl outside a McDonald's last week.
Footage shows some onlookers cheering and shouting while others try to break up the brawl in Ashford, Kent.
The video clip has since gone viral, accumulating millions of views online.
Three men, aged 53, 37 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of affray after police officers rushed to reports of a fight on Ashford High Street at around 7pm last Friday.
The 53-year-old man has since been released on bail, while the 37-year-old and a 23-year-old have been released under investigation.
An investigation is ongoing and officers say they are aware of the footage.
A spokesperson for Kent Police said: "Officers are appealing for witnesses following reported assaults in Ashford.
"Kent Police was called to a report of men fighting in Ashford High Street at 6.51pm on Friday 16 September 2022.
"Officers attended and three men, aged 53, 37 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of affray.
"The 53-year-old man has since been released on bail and the 37-year-old man and 23-year-old man have been released under investigation.
"Enquiries are ongoing and officers are aware of footage of the incident which has been posted on social media."
Several other assaults have been reported on the same high street in recent months, according to Kent Online.

Global Healthcare Marketer Shares Secrets to Successful Point-of-Care Messaging in New Book 'The Next Marketing'
Harshit Jain MD, Founder & Global CEO, Doceree, dives into messaging strategies for pharmaceutical companies to optimize communication initiatives to healthcare professionals (HCPs)
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Physician-turned CEO and medical marketing professional, Harshit Jain MD, is disrupting the current point-of-care (POC) messaging environment with his perspective on digital efforts for cultivating meaningful communications with Healthcare professionals (HCPs) in his new book, The Next Marketing. In an evolving healthcare marketing landscape, Jain's goal is to prepare marketers and point-of-care platforms for the next way to effectively reach and engage clinicians on online platforms.
"Due to the lack of standardized data points and metrics within the healthcare marketing category, I felt compelled to explore what everyone within the industry believes to be important," he said. "My goal is to unveil some facts about the POC messaging by educating marketers specifically on the healthcare marketing landscape and the points they should consider, including embracing data-driven results to customize messages to HCP's specialty as well as identifying and understanding the online behavior patterns of providers to better interact with them. This book is my effort to challenge how marketers view point-of-care and bring standardization to the industry."
As messaging practices evolve in the life sciences industry, marketers and platforms are transforming communications during a provider's online journey, but not always at the opportune moments. The insights shared by Jain equip organizations with strategies to efficiently develop and facilitate digital messages to clinicians within POC channels.
In the book, Jain shares how marketers and platforms can better use an all-inclusive approach in POC messaging to support providers in achieving better health outcomes for their patients.
The launch of the book coincides with the 3rd anniversary of Doceree's Founding Day, celebrated a day prior on 19th September. "It is special to have got the book released around the same time when we started our journey two years ago. Apart from my personal experience around the POC ecosystem, the book also captures a variety of learnings we have gathered from the campaigns run on our programmatic platform. It is nothing less than a milestone for us to come up with detailed insights that can transform the POC landscape and help marketers understand the clinical workflow of HCPs better, enabling them to target the clinicians at opportune moments," said Harshit.
The Next Marketing is available for purchase at Amazon for $31.99.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Harshit Jain is a leading storyteller and creative-data integrator in healthcare.

Biden at UN to call Russian war an affront to body's charter
NEW YORK (AP) - President Joe Biden is ready to make the case to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that Russia's "naked aggression" in Ukraine is an affront to the heart of what the international body stands for as he looks to rally allies to stand firm in backing the Ukrainian resistance.
Biden, during his time at the U.N. General Assembly, also planned to meet Wednesday with new British Prime Minister Liz Truss, announce a global food security initiative and press allies to meet an $18 billion target to replenish the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
But White House officials say the crux of the president's visit to the U.N. this year would be a full-throated condemnation of Russia as its brutal war nears the seven-month mark.
"He´ll offer a firm rebuke of Russia´s unjust war in Ukraine and make a call to the world to continue to stand against the naked aggression that we´ve seen these past several months," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in previewing the president's address. "He will underscore the importance of strengthening the United Nations and reaffirm core tenets of its charter at a time when a permanent member of the Security Council has struck at the very heart of the charter by challenging the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty."
The address comes as Russian-controlled regions of eastern and southern Ukraine have announced plans to hold Kremllin-backed referendums in days ahead on becoming part of Russia and as Moscow is losing ground in the invasion. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday announced a partial mobilization to call up 300,000 reservists and accused the West of engaging in "nuclear blackmail."
Biden is confronting no shortage of difficult issues as leaders gather this year.

In addition to the Russian war in Ukraine, European fears that a recession could be just around the corner are heightened. Administration concerns grow by the day that time is running short to revive the Iran nuclear deal and over China's saber-rattling on Taiwan.
When he addressed last year´s General Assembly, Biden focused on broad themes of global partnership, urging world leaders to act with haste against the coronavirus, climate change and human rights abuses. And he offered assurances that his presidency marked a return of American leadership to international institutions following Donald Trump´s "America First" foreign policy.
But one year later, global dynamics have dramatically changed.
Stewart Patrick, senior fellow and director of the Global Order and Institutions Program at the Washington think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote in an analysis that Biden´s task this year is "immense" compared to his first address to the U.N. as president.
"Last year, the U.S. leader won easy plaudits as the `anti-Trump,´ pledging that `America was back,´" Patrick said. "This year demands more. The liberal, rules-based international system is reeling, battered by Russian aggression, Chinese ambitions, authoritarian assaults, a halting pandemic recovery, quickening climate change, skepticism of the U.N.´s relevance, and gnawing doubts about American staying power."
Beyond diplomacy, the president is also doing some politicking. This year's gathering comes less than seven weeks before pivotal midterm elections in the United States. Shortly after arriving in Manhattan on Tuesday night, Biden spoke at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser for about 100 participants that raised nearly $2 million, and he's set to hold another fundraiser on Thursday before heading back to Washington.
His Wednesday address comes on the heels of Ukrainian forces retaking control of large stretches of territory near Kharkiv. But even as Ukrainian forces have racked up battlefield wins, much of Europe is feeling painful blowback from economic sanctions levied against Russia. A vast reduction in Russian oil and gas has led to a sharp jump in energy prices, skyrocketing inflation and growing risk of Europe slipping into a recession.
Biden's visit to the U.N. also comes as his administration's efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal appears stalled.
The deal brokered by the Obama administration - and scrapped by Trump in 2018 - provided billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for Iran´s agreement to dismantle much of its nuclear program and open its facilities to extensive international inspection.
Sullivan said no breakthrough with Iran is expected during the General Assembly but Biden would make clear in his speech that a deal can still be done "if Iran is prepared to be serious about its obligations." He added that administration officials would be consulting with fellow signatories of the 2015 deal on the sidelines of this week's meetings.
This year's U.N. gathering is back to being a full-scale, in-person event after two years of curtailed activity due to the pandemic. In 2020, the in-person gathering was canceled and leaders instead delivered prerecorded speeches; last year was a mix of in-person and prerecorded speeches. Biden and first lady Jill Biden were set to host a leaders' reception on Wednesday evening.
China's President Xi Jinping opted not to attend this year's U.N. gathering, but his country's conduct and intentions will loom large during the leaders' talks.
Last month, the U.N. human rights office raised concerns about possible "crimes against humanity" in China's western region against Uyghurs and other largely Muslim ethnic groups. Beijing has vowed to suspend cooperation with the office and blasted what it described as a Western plot to undermine China´s rise.
Meanwhile, China´s government on Monday said Biden´s statement in a CBS "60 Minutes" interview that American forces would defend Taiwan if Beijing tried to invade the self-ruled island was a violation of U.S. commitments on the matter, but it gave no indication of possible retaliation.
The White House said after the interview that there has been no change in U.S. policy on Taiwan, which China claims as its own. That policy says Washington wants to see Taiwan´s status resolved peacefully but doesn´t say whether U.S. forces might be sent in response to a Chinese attack.

Oracle Releases Java 19
New release delivers seven JDK Enhancement Proposals to increase developer productivity, improve the Java language, and enhance the platform's performance, stability, and security
Java 19's key capabilities to be showcased at JavaOne 2022 in Las Vegas on October 17-20
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced the availability of Java 19, the latest version of the world's number one programming language and development platform. Java 19 (Oracle JDK 19) delivers thousands of performance, stability, and security improvements, including enhancements to the platform that will help developers improve productivity and drive business-wide innovation. Oracle will showcase the latest capabilities in Java 19 at JavaOne 2022, taking place October 17-20 in Las Vegas, and via a keynote broadcast airing on dev.java/ at 9:00 a.m. PT on Tuesday, September 20.
"Our ongoing collaboration with the developer community is the lifeblood of Java. As the steward of Java, Oracle is steadfastly committed to providing developers and enterprises with the latest tools to help them create innovative apps and services," said Georges Saab, senior vice president of development, Java Platform and Chair, OpenJDK Governing Board, Oracle. "The powerful new enhancements in Java 19 are a testament to the monumental work across the global Java community."
The latest Java Development Kit (JDK) provides updates and improvements with seven JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs). Most of these updates are to be delivered as follow-up preview features improving on functionality introduced in earlier releases.
JDK 19 delivers language Improvements from OpenJDK project Amber (Record Patterns and Pattern Matching for Switch); library enhancements to interoperate with non-Java Code (Foreign Function and Memory API) and to leverage vector instructions (Vector API) from OpenJDK project Panama; and the first previews for Project Loom (Virtual Threads and Structured Concurrency), which will drastically reduce the effort required to write and maintain high-throughput, concurrent applications in Java.
"Java developers are increasingly seeking tools to help them efficiently build highly functional applications for deployment in the cloud, on-premises, and in hybrid environments," said Arnal Dayaratna, research vice president, software development, IDC. "The enhancements in Java 19 deliver on these requirements and illustrate how the Java ecosystem is well-positioned to meet the current and future needs of developers and enterprises."
Oracle delivers new Java Feature releases every six months via a predictable release schedule. This cadence provides a steady stream of innovations while delivering continuous improvements to the platform's performance, stability, and security, helping increase Java's pervasiveness across organizations and industries of all sizes.
The most significant updates delivered in Java 19 are:
Updates and Improvements to the Language- JEP 405: Record Patterns (Preview): Enables users to nest record patterns and type patterns to create a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data navigation and processing. This extends pattern matching to allow for more sophisticated and composable data queries.
- JEP 427: Pattern Matching for Switch (Third Preview): Enables pattern matching for switch expressions and statements by permitting an expression to be tested against a number of patterns. This allows users to express complex data-oriented queries concisely and safely.
- JEP 424: Foreign Function and Memory API (Preview): Enables Java programs to more easily interoperate with code and data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign functions (i.e., code outside the Java Virtual Machine [JVM]), and by safely accessing foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), this API enables Java programs to call native libraries and process native data via a pure Java development model. This results in increased ease-of-use, performance, flexibility, and safety.
- JEP 426: Vector API (Fourth Incubator): Enables superior performance compared to equivalent scalar computations by expressing vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to vector instructions on supported CPU architectures.
- JEP 422: Linux/RISC-V Port: Sets the stage for easier Linux/RISC-V implementations by integrating this port into the JDK main-line repository.
- JEP 425: Virtual Threads (Preview): Dramatically reduces the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications by introducing lightweight virtual threads to the Java Platform. Using virtual threads allows developers to easily troubleshoot, debug, and profile concurrent applications with existing JDK tools and techniques.
- JEP 428: Structured Concurrency (Incubator): Streamlines error handling and cancellation, improves reliability, and enhances observability by simplifying multithreaded programming and treating multiple tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work.
The Java 19 release is the result of extensive collaboration between Oracle engineers and other members of the worldwide Java developer community via the OpenJDK Project and the Java Community Process (JCP). In addition to new enhancements, Java 19 is supported by Java Management Service – an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) native service – that provides a single pane of glass to help organizations manage Java runtimes and applications on-premises or on any cloud.
Supporting Java CustomersThe Oracle Java SE Subscription is a pay-as-you-go offering that provides customers with best-in-class support, entitlement to GraalVM Enterprise, access to the Java Management Service, and the flexibility to upgrade at the pace of their businesses. This helps IT organizations manage complexity, contain costs, and mitigate security risks. In addition, Java SE and GraalVM Enterprise are offered free of charge on OCI, enabling developers to build and deploy applications that run faster, better, and with unbeatable cost-performance on Oracle Cloud.
Underscoring Java's popularity with the global developer community, Oracle is proud to recognize the one millionth completed Java certification. Java certifications help developers stand out as Java experts and raise their profiles with enterprises seeking to attract highly skilled Java professionals.

Eleven school-children killed in Myanmar air strike: Unicef
Tuesday September 20 2022
At least 11 school-children died in an air strike and firing on a Myanmar village, the United Nations children's agency said, an attack the country's junta said targeted rebels hiding in the area.
Myanmar has been in chaos since the military seized power in a coup in February last year, with nearly 2,300 civilians killed in a crackdown on dissent according to a local monitoring group.
The Sagaing region in the country's northwest has seen some of the fiercest fighting, and clashes between anti-coup fighters and the military have seen entire villages burned down.
The UN children's agency UNICEF condemned Friday's violence in Depeyin township in Sagaing.
"On 16 September, at least 11 children died in an air strike and indiscriminate fire in civilian areas," UNICEF said in a statement issued Monday.
It said schools must be safe and never targeted.
"At least 15 children from the same school are still missing," UNICEF said, calling for their immediate safe release.
Video footage obtained from a local community group shows a classroom with blood on the floor, damage to the roof and a mother crying over her son's dead body.
They just attacked
The junta said they had sent troops in helicopters to Let Yet Kone village after receiving a tip-off that fighters from the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) -- an ethnic rebel group -- and from a local anti-coup militia were moving weapons in the area.
The military accused the rebel fighters of using civilians as human shields, and said it had seized mines and explosives from the village.
"Security members gave necessary medical treatment and arranged to send patients to a nearby hospital," the military said in a statement.
Junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun on Tuesday accused the KIA of taking villagers to a monastery and then firing on troops from there.
A villager contacted by AFP rejected the military's suggestions there were fighters in the area.
"They just attacked the school. They say someone attacked them, then they fought back but this is not true," said the villager, who spoke on condition of anonymity for their own safety.
The villager said the military had taken away some of the bodies and detained a number of people, including children and teachers.
Save the Children Asia Regional Director Hassan Noor expressed condolences to the families and said schools should be off-limits and the safety of students protected.
"How many more incidents like this need to take place before action is taken?" Noor said, urging the UN Security Council and Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) to take swift action.
ASEAN has led so far fruitless diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis in Myanmar and its leaders will meet in Phnom Penh in November to discuss limited progress on a peace plan.

Uneb to recruit 60,000 examination officials
What you need to know:
- Uneb also said they would work with district inspectors of schools to avoid weather disruptions.
The Uganda National Examination Board (Uneb) is expected to recruit 60,000 examination officials, including invigilators, superiors, scouts, and security officials to oversee the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) slated for November 8 to 9 .
The exam body registered an increase in the number of PLE candidates from 749,809 in 2020 to 832,839 this year. It did not set exams last year due to the Covid-19-induced lockdown.
Speaking in Kampala yesterday at the annual seminar for inspectors of schools on preparations for the exams, the Uneb Executive Director, Mr Daniel Odongo, said the increase calls for extra manpower .
Mr Odongo said the board will recruit about 6,000 officials to handle PLE exams. These include 33,395 invigilators,11,539 scouts,10,356 supervisors, and 2,765 security officers. The board hired 41,469 examination officials in 2020.
According to Mr Odongo, Uneb pays about Shs40,000 to each invigilator on a daily basis.
“We are first assessing and budgeting for the money we have. If it is not enough to take care of all the hired people, we will ask the government for a supplementary budget,” he said.
Uganda Certificate of Education exams start on October 16 and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education on November 21. Mr Odongo said they are in the process of printing all the three sets of examinations.
“About 80 people have camped at Uneb up to October 16 when exams will be dispatched to examination centres. These are not allowed to communicate to anyone outside apart from me,” he said.
The State Minister for Primary Education, Ms Joyce Kaducu, threatened to name and shame schools involved in exams malpractice.
Uneb also said they would work with district inspectors of schools to avoid weather disruptions.
Car tracking
The examination manager, Mr James Turyatemba, said Uneb has started discussions to install tracking devices in cars that will be transporting examinations.
He said these will send a signal if the packages being delivered are tempered with, including the location of where the incident is happening.

FIFA players will have the chance to lift the World Cup in virtual form when the much-loved game mode returns for FIFA 23. Those who played the world's most popular sports video game back in 2014 and 2018 will remember the introduction of modes that marked the grandest competition in football.
FIFA 23 will include a World Cup game mode in line with the tournament in Qatar that is set take place in November and December 2022, as well as the Women's World Cup in Australia-New Zealand next year.
GOAL presents all the details you need for one of the most exciting additions to the FIFA franchise.
How will FIFA 23 World Cup modes work?
EA Sports has confirmed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia-New Zealand will be available in FIFA 23 as post-release content updates.
These updates will be free to download, so those who purchase the game when it comes out in September will not have to incur an additional expense.
EA Sports has promised further updates soon, with the game set for worldwide release on September 30, 2022.
What have previous FIFA World Cup game modes included?
Many FIFA players anticipated that there would be a World Cup mode on FIFA 23 before it was confirmed. That's because it was a huge hit during the two previous tournaments, in 2014 and 2018.
As those tournaments were both summer versions, it was added in the summer of the years in question. In FIFA 14, the World Cup mode was purely an Ultimate Team (FUT) add-on as there was a whole separate video game made for the tournament in Brazil.
It was a huge success as the top players were easily attainable without the need for large in-game purchases, which has been cited as a reason for people falling out of love with the popular game mode. FUT managers would play through the World Cup against other players online and would earn coins along the way that could be spent on World Cup packs.
FUT players were naturally excited when the World Cup mode returned in FIFA 18 alongside the tournament in Russia. With the same features as those in FIFA 14 setting the foundations, the addition of ICONS from previous World Cups, as well as Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and dynamic items made for an enhanced game experience.
What will be included in FIFA 23's World Cup game mode?
The DLC is expected to include every team, player, stadium and most, if not all of the eye-catching kits that will be used throughout the month-long tournament in Qatar. If previous editions are anything to go by, a FUT add-on will be introduced where players will be able to build their own teams made up of those competing at the World Cup.
Despite the tournament finishing in December, the World Cup game mode is likely to be available until the end of FIFA 23's game cycle. That will allow players more time than they have previously been allowed to acquire each of the world's best players.
As well as ICONS, the newly-added Marvel-linked 'Heroes' may also potentially be involved in the game mode. The likes of Rudi Voller, Yaya Toure and Landon Donovan (read the full list - including ratings - here) will come into FIFA 23 for the start of the World Cup.
Which teams will be in FIFA 23 World Cup mode?
While many FIFA players will only be focused on the FUT add-on, there is likely to be single-player and online tournaments where players will be able to compete with whichever of the 32 nations they choose. The World Cup groups and teams can be seen below
When and where is the 2022 World Cup taking place?
The 2022 World Cup is the first to take place during the winter. It cuts most domestic European campaigns almost exactly in half with some of the world's most popular leagues taking breaks to accommodate for the tournament.
The first game of the World Cup is due to take place on November 20 when hosts Qatar face Ecuador. Each of the eight groups will then be decided over a 12-day period.
Then, it's time for the knock-outs which will whittle down the remaining teams into a two-team final. The showpiece match will take place on December 18 - a week before Christmas Day - at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.

King Charles III faces 'enormous internal battle' as new monarch after the death of Queen Elizabeth II: report
King Charles III is reportedly torn between following Queen Elizabeth's ways and stepping out of her shadow to make his own mark as the new monarch.
King Charles III is planning out his next moves to ensure that he would bring the monarchy forward following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, a new report claimed.
Sources told Woman's Day, in its latest edition, that King Charles III has been consumed with thoughts on how he would handle the monarchy while still keeping Queen Elizabeth II at the forefront. On top of his responsibilities as the new ruler of the U.K., the husband of Camilla, Queen Consort, is also mourning the shocking demise of his mother.
An unnamed insider told the entertainment news outlet, "He is grieving deeply for his mom. She has been a constant in all our lives but especially his. Charles has a huge job ahead of him, and she would have wanted him to get on with things."
King Charles III, shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, quickly released a statement expressing his love for the late monarch. Royal reporter Max Foster suggested that the father of Prince William and Prince Harry, who spent most of his life being the heir apparent, worked on his speech for the queen's demise for years.
The anonymous informant shared, "Charles has been an heir to the throne since he was three. He's had plenty of time to practice. He has lived through the decline of deference. He has been much more open than the queen because he comes from a generation that has been much more open. We will see his humanity and his humour as we have always done."
Royal insiders maintained that King Charles III was very conscious that Queen Elizabeth II was perhaps the most beloved figurehead in the world for 70 years. They also noted that the former husband of the late Princess Diana also faces an enormous internal battle between reigning in a way that would have made her proud and stepping out of her shadow to make his own mark.
In the past, King Charles III was named a "nuisance" for interfering in hot-button political issues, including climate change and urban planning. Tattlers told Woman's Day that, despite transitioning into his traditionally strictly neutral role, "he feels he has a right to maintain an opinion."
While King Charles III is still starting his reign as the newest monarch, a death plan is reportedly in place for unforeseen circumstances. Most, if not all, royal followers are aware that every royal family member in the line of succession has a death plan of their own in order to avoid chaos in the event of such instances.
King Charles III's death plan is reportedly named "Operation Menai Bridge," which follows Queen Elizabeth II's dubbed after London Bridge. Royal protection officer Simon Morgan claimed that preparations for the "Operation Menai Bridge" would start this month.
Speaking to Today, Morgan revealed, "Unfortunately, as of tomorrow morning, planning for Operation Menai Bridge will start in earnest. Even the King said in his acceptance that he would take this role for as long as life allows him to. He is 73 years of age, it's got to be in the back of your mind, and from the police, we've got to start planning again for the future."
Meanwhile, King Charles III has yet to comment on the claims that he has been consumed with thoughts of how to handle the monarchy now that Queen Elizabeth II is dead already. So, avid followers of Camilla Parker-Bowles' husband should take all these unverified claims with a pinch of salt until everything is proven true and correct.

LSU student who was gunned down on her way home from night out was likely killed in 'random' attack, DA says, as he is grilled about rumors murder may have been part of a GANG INITIATION
- Baton Rouge DA Hillar Moore says that the shooting death of Allison Rice, 21, appears to have been a 'random type act'
- Allie had been waiting at a train track when she was shot multiple times through the windscreen of her car
- Federal law enforcement officials have been brought in to assist on the case
- Rumors are currently swirling online and within the Baton Rouge community that the 21-year-old's death was part of a gang initiation
- But DA Moore said there's currently no evidence to support that allegation
- The Louisiana State University student had been on her way home from a night out with friends nearby when she was killed
- Her parents are pleading for anyone with information to come forwards to help the police with their inquiries
Prosecutors believe a Louisiana State University student gunned down in her was murdered at random - as rumors swirl locally the killing may have been part of a gang initiation.
Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said in a recent interview with WBRZ that the motive for Allison Rice's shooting, which occurred on September 16 while the LSU student was sitting in her car at a railroad crossing, is still a mystery.
He admitted: 'This appears to be a totally isolated, random type act.'
Moore was asked Tuesday about claims within the local community that the 21-year-old's death was 'part of a gang initiation.' But he was unable to offer clarity to those allegations.
Baton Rouge DA Hillar Moore talked with WBRZ Tuesday about the 'random' shooting death of 21-year-old Louisiana State University student Allie Rice
'It's way too early to tell. We never want to get out in front of the evidence and the facts of the case. Surely, that's not anything that's jumping out to me as a person that has done this for years.' Moore told WBRZ's Chris Nakamoto during an interview Tuesday.
He was unable to offer any further insight into why the tragedy happened. No arrests have been made, although local cops say they've been flooded with tips as to possible identities of the killers. It remains unclear how credible these tips are.
Officials with the Baton Rouge Police Department also echoed Moore's statement, telling the Louisiana news outlet that they have found no evidence that the LSU student, just months out from graduation, was targeted by her attacker.
The DA also stated that several federal law enforcement agencies have been brought in to work on the case, including the FBI, DEA, and the ATF.
Allie Rice celebrated her 21st birthday in May, according to a post on her Instagram
'Everything that can possibly be done is being done by every agency, regardless of the initials behind their name,' Moore said.
The new information caused Allie's family to double down on their plea to the public.
'I just hope that somebody speaks up- somebody that knows something, somebody that was here in this area,' said Paul Rice, Allie's father. 'Please, if you've seen anything, call the police department, call crime stoppers, call somebody. Tell somebody, call me.'
Allie's family spoke with WBRZ about the brutal killing that occurred on September 16
The devastated father said earlier this week that he believes the shooting was a case of his daughter being ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’.
Paul also said that his daughter had no enemies, and that the family doesn't believe she was being ‘stalked’.
Paul Rice, the father of Allison Rice has said news of her untimely death has left the family devastated
The Louisiana State University senior had been on her way home from a night out with friends and was shot dead at around 2.30am on Friday near railroad tracks.
She was found in her bullet-riddled car in Baton Rouge after partying with friends at a bar on Government Street less than five minutes from where she was killed.
Speaking to Fox News, Paul said: 'She's not anyone that had enemies. We don't think that she was being stalked or followed.
'That particular area of Baton Rouge has a history of this type of activity.'
'It should've never happened, this should not have happened, it should not have happened.
'She's a beautiful child. She had one year left to graduate LSU, she had her whole future ahead of her.
'When you hear the words from the police man saying, "she's with the coroner now, she didn't make it." It's the most devastating words you can ever hear.'
Allison Rice, 21, had been studying marketing at Louisiana State University and had been preparing for an internship before her tragic murder
Friends and family have laid floral tributes to her, as well as her favorite snacks, on the street where she was shot
A cross with Allie's face in the centre has been nailed into a telephone pole close to where the student was killed
Allison had been trying to turn around at the tracks when she was shot multiple times through her windshield.
Friends and family have laid floral tributes to her, as well as her favorite snacks, on the street where she was shot, and also put-up a cross with her face on a telephone pole.
The first time Paul knew something was amiss was at 4:45am when the police knocked on his door to tell him his daughter had been the victim of a shooting.
He said: 'We woke up to our dogs barking and the doorbell ringing. Cops have shown up in the middle of the night before for various reasons, things going on in the neighborhood.
'But when they asked, "Are you Allison's father, can we come in, please?" you knew at that point that it was going to be something terrible. I never could have imagined that the news would have been what it was.
Police rushed to the scene after witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots at around 2.30am on Friday
Police responded to the scene around 2.30am and all that was left later that morning was a pile of broken glass after her car was removed
'The only thing that I can really think at this point is it's a bad case of wrong place at the wrong time.'
Officers have not yet identified a suspect in the killing and are yet to find a motive behind the attack according to sources.
Rice had been waiting for a train to finish crossing when she was shot and suffered wounds to her arm and chest.
Baton Rouge authorities discovered several shell casings close to her vehicle, as well as fast food in her lap, but nothing was taken from her car.
Paul added: 'This is being taken very seriously but despite that, all indications right now are there are no leads.
'They really don't have an explanation at this point…as of now, in that particular stretch of town, they don't have the surveillance that is necessary.'
'As a parent I should never have to plan a funeral for my child. My mother should not have to be involved in a funeral for her grandchild,' he said. 'This is just heartbreaking.'
Rice's aunt Susie Rice Granier described the young woman as a 'free spirit' and said she loved to sing and dance
The student had been out with friends prior to the shooting and got stuck behind a train only a few miles away from campus when she was killed
Baton Rouge Police are investigating the shooting, with Chief Murphy Paul saying after the incident: 'I just left the scene prior to coming here.
'Our detectives are out there canvassing the area. A lot of the investigative efforts that are going on behind the scenes. Very sad. Very sad.'
Her family is pleading for answers from the police, and is begging anyone with information to come forwards.
Sgt. L'Jean McKneely with Baton Rouge Police added: 'Chief Paul has been working hard with getting the camera surveillance systems up, we have that downtown, were trying to push it and make it happen down to major corridors for Baton Rouge. Florida Street, Government Street.'
Rice had been working as a bartender at The Shed BBQ in Baton Rouge, where she worked with her two brothers (pictured together)
Her parents are pleading for anyone with information to come forwards to help police with their inquiries
East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome added: 'My heart goes out to the family, loved ones, and classmates of Allison Rice, a young LSU student who had her entire life ahead of her.
'This senseless violence is completely unacceptable and Baton Rouge Police officers are thoroughly investigating to bring the perpetrator to justice.
'Our university community is an essential part of the fabric of Baton Rouge. It is of the utmost importance as we welcome students from across our state and the nation that we create a safe environment.'
Rice's death is the 74th this year in the East Baton Rouge Parish, and comes after a string of crimes against LSU students.
On August 19, another student was shot during an attempted robbery, and just days later two separate kidnapping cases happened on campus.
According to the FBI, Baton Rouge has one of the highest homicide rates in Louisiana.
Anyone having information on this shooting is urged to contact the Violent Crimes Unit at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.

PM accuses Putin of `sabre rattling´ over nuclear threats and reservists call-up
Vladimir Putin’s warning that Russia will use “all the means at our disposal” to protect itself has been dismissed as “sabre rattling” by Prime Minister Liz Truss.
The Russian president’s comments in a televised address to the nation appeared to suggest the conflict in Ukraine could spiral into a nuclear crisis.
He announced a partial military mobilisation, with 300,000 reservists set to be called up as the Kremlin attempts to regain ground in the face of a counter-attack by Ukraine’s forces.
And Mr Putin said “it’s not a bluff” when he vowed that Russia would use its weapons of mass destruction if its territory was threatened.
The Russian leader accused the West of “nuclear blackmail” and claimed “high-ranking representatives of the leading Nato states” had talked about the possibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia.
“To those who allow themselves such statements regarding Russia, I want to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction,” Mr Putin said.
Ms Truss, speaking in New York where she is attending the United Nations General Assembly, said it was important for her to be at the gathering with fellow leaders “because we are facing such a difficult international situation with the war in Ukraine started by Vladimir Putin”.
“We’ve heard more sabre rattling from him this morning,” she said.
“But also we need to get the global economy back on its feet after Covid, and really ensure democracy prevails.”
In a joint statement with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen she added that the Russian military mobilisation was “a statement of weakness”.
Moscow-controlled regions in eastern and southern Ukraine are set to hold referendums on becoming parts of Russia, which could give the Kremlin the pretext for a wider war because Mr Putin would be able to claim parts of his state were being attacked.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the UK would never recognise the results of “sham referendums” which were “held at the barrel of a gun”.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Mr Putin’s actions were “an admission that his invasion is failing” and “Russia is becoming a global pariah”.
Melinda Simmons, the UK’s ambassador in Kyiv, said the Russian president’s “essential weakness” was “he still refuses to understand Ukraine”.
A British defence intelligence update suggested Mr Putin was being forced to undermine his own public position that the war in Ukraine was a “special military operation” rather than a full-scale conflict.
“These new measures have highly likely been brought forwards due to public criticism and mark a further development in Russia’s strategy,” the Ministry of Defence said.
“Putin is accepting greater political risk by undermining the fiction that Russia is neither in a war nor a national crisis in the hope of generating more combat power.”
A former adviser to Mr Putin suggested the Russian leader would be ready to use nuclear weapons against western nations such as the UK.
On whether nuclear missiles could be targeted at London, Russian political scientist Sergei Markov claimed on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme “yes, it is possible”.
Mr Markov added: “This nuclear war could be a result of the crazy behaviour of the president of the United States Joe Biden and prime ministers of Great Britain Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.”
But Evgeny Popov, a member of the Duma for Mr Putin’s United Russia party, told the BBC: “We are not going to attack western countries first. We are not going to do some nuclear massacre in the world.
“It’s not our policy. It’s not our practice. We are peaceful people in Russia, but we can respond if you would attack us.”
The Prime Minister, who will hold talks with the US president on Wednesday, was using her visit to the United Nations to rally support for Ukraine.

New national strategy sets out how Scotland’s wild beavers will be managed in coming decades
Beavers were given official protected status in Scotland little more than three years ago after the formerly native species was reintroduced to the country following an absence of around 500 years.
Now a new national route map has been set out, detailing how beavers will be managed over coming decades.
The dam-building rodents are once again living wild and thriving in a number of locations in Scotland, with populations successfully increasing and spreading.
They became extinct in the 16th century, mainly due to hunting for their fur, meat and castoreum, a glandular oil secreted from the base of their tail that was used in perfumes, food and medicine.
Their return has come through a combination of an official reintroduction project and unauthorised releases.
More than 50 stakeholder organisations have been involved in devising Scotland’s Beaver Strategy 2022-2045 and have said it constitutes one of the most ambitious and forward-looking approaches to managing and conserving a species ever carried out in the UK.
The plan will steer efforts to identify suitable new locations for beavers to set up home and actively expand the population to new areas, while advising on appropriate measures to counterbalance any negative impacts.
It comes following the Scottish Government’s decision to back wider recolonisation by the species.
Beavers are described as nature’s engineers and their presence is considered to bring a wide range of ecological improvements to river catchments.
However, their activities can damage trees and cause flooding, sparking conflict with farmers and landowners.
The strategy sets out plans to empower and support communities to maximise the environmental and wider benefits of beavers, while minimising downsides through effective management and mitigation efforts.
The most recent official estimates suggest there are around 1,000 beavers spread across 250 territories in Scotland, mainly in the Forth and Tay catchments.
“Just 25 years ago, most people would not have imagined that beavers would soon return as a member of our Scottish fauna,” said Greens MSP Lorna Slater, biodiversity minister for Scotland.
“Now they are returning we have a responsibility to look after and value them – to learn to live alongside these remarkable animals.
“This strategy, and our work together to deliver it, is an important and welcome step towards this goal.”
Sarah Robinson, director of conservation at the Scottish Wildlife Trust, said: “Biodiversity is declining at a faster rate now than at any time in human history.
“Beavers provide a nature-based solution to tackling the growing crisis.
“The national strategy sets out how to help beavers become established throughout Scotland’s lochs, burns and rivers, and the many ways that both people and wildlife will benefit from their presence.”
Karen Ramoo, policy adviser on forestry, conservation and wildlife management at Scottish Land & Estates, said: “Beavers can play an important ecological role in our environment whilst acknowledging the negative impacts that need to be mitigated, particularly for farmers and other rural businesses.
“The new strategy has taken significant work by many different organisations to create a framework whereby future beaver expansion can be both supported and managed appropriately. It is an ambitious strategy that will require long-term political will and financial support in order to be effective for the species itself.”

Train cancellations hit worst level on record as 3.7 per cent of services fail to run in last 12 months
- Nearly one in 25 trains cancelled in past year- worst since records began in 2015
- Proportion of cancellations even worse in four-weeks from July 24 to August 20
- Cancellation score takes into account services that are fully and part-cancelled
- Drivers' union confirmed members will stage fresh strikes on October 1 and 5
Train cancellations have reached the worst level on record, with 3.7 per cent of services failing to run during the past 12 months.
This means that nearly one in every 25 trains in the year to August 20 was cancelled, according to analysis of Office of Rail and Road data - the worst since records began in 2015.
Cancellation scores reflect the percentage of services that are either fully or part-cancelled. Each part-cancellation is counted as half a full cancellation.
Strikes over pay and conditions have caused a surge of cancellations in recent months, with 4.9% of trains cancelled in the four-week period from July 24 to August 20.
The worst individual operator between those dates was Avanti West Coast, with its highest ever score of 14.9 per cent.
Other operators which also had their poorest reliability for a four-week period include London North Eastern Railway (11 per cent), East Midlands Railway (5.5 per cent) and Grand Central (12 per cent).
Train cancellations have reached the worst level on record, with 3.7 per cent of services failing to run during the past 12 months. Pictured: Departure boards showing all cancellations at Kings Cross Station yesterday
Govia Thameslink Railway - which consists of Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern and Gatwick Express services - recorded its second worst cancellation score of 11.1 per cent.
A spokesman for industry body the Rail Delivery Group said: 'We know that reliability and punctuality are the most important areas for improvement for our passengers and apologise to all those who have experienced disruption to their travel plans.
'We need to end the unnecessary and damaging strikes called by the leaders of the transport unions which disrupt passengers' plans, undermine struggling businesses and upend the industry's recovery.
'They are opposing the very reforms that will improve reliability and punctuality and therefore help build a sustainable railway.'
Services at King's Cross, Paddington and Moorgate have been delayed and cancelled over the past few days because of problems at Stevenage and Hayes & Harlington. Pictured: crowds gathered on the platform at Finsbury Park station as services were cancelled last night
Strikes over pay and conditions have caused a surge of cancellations in recent months
Drivers' union Alsef confirmed yesterday that its members at 12 companies will stage fresh strikes on October 1 and 5, affecting travel for delegates and visitors to the Conservative party conference in Birmingham.
There have been calls for the operation of Avanti West Coast's services to be taken into public ownership after the company slashed its timetable to reduce short-notice cancellations.
A spokesman for the operator said: 'We know we're not delivering the service our customers rightly expect and we apologise for the enormous frustration and inconvenience.
'We remain committed to delivering the best possible service for our customers and the communities we serve.
In an update at 2pm today, Great Western Railway said all lines between Reading and London Paddington had been reopened after more than two days of disruption
But National Rail said that disruption to services as a result of damage to overhead wires at Stevenage is expected until Saturday
'A shortage of staff, particularly drivers, who were willing to volunteer for overtime led to a marked increase in the number of short-notice cancellations, which we know are highly disruptive for customers.
'As a result, we reduced our timetable to ensure a more reliable service. This was not a decision we took lightly and we are now in the process of rebuilding the timetable in a sustainable and robust way without the reliance on overtime.'
Meanwhile, trains to and from London were disrupted for a third consecutive day today due to damaged overhead electric wires.
Services at King's Cross, Paddington and Moorgate were delayed because of problems at Stevenage and Hayes & Harlington.
In an update at 2pm today, Great Western Railway said all lines between Reading and London Paddington had been reopened.
But National Rail said that disruption to services as a result of damage to overhead wires at Stevenage is expected until Saturday.

DAN WOOTTON: Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have taken us for fools. Despite their protests, we KNOW they jumped the great Elizabeth line and this PR car crash proves they really do think they're better than us
It's the verbal gymnastics we've come to expect from scandal-plagued politicians.
Like Matt Hancock declaring he hadn't broken the draconian social-distancing rules he enforced on all of us, despite snogging and groping a woman who was not his wife at his workplace as Covid restrictions remained in place.
Or Bill Clinton insisting he did not have 'sexual relations' with 'that woman' Monica Lewinsky – and claiming that, while he had tried smoking pot, he never inhaled.
Scheming Phillip Schofield and his hapless accomplice Holly Willoughby's explanation of how skipping a queue of tens of thousands of ordinary Brits waiting to pay their respects to the Queen lying in state wasn't actually skipping a queue will go down the ages as one of the all-time great PR disasters.
Thanks to the live-stream of Westminster Hall, we spotted the This Morning presenters being escorted past the coffin, even though Holly had donned a black mask, perhaps because she was embarrassed about exactly what they were doing.
And as a result of social media footage filmed by some of the honest folk who had lined-up in the 13-hour snaking queue around the river Thames, we know they had been ushered past the public to a special entrance.
This is the sort of VIP treatment Phillip and Holly have come to expect.
Scheming Phillip Schofield and his hapless accomplice Holly Willoughby's explanation of how skipping a queue of tens of thousands of ordinary Brits waiting to pay their respects to the Queen lying in state wasn't actually skipping a queue will go down the ages as one of the all-time great PR disasters, writes DAN WOOTTON
Sadly, Queuegate has proven what we've suspected for a long time: Phillip and Holly think they're better than us, writes DAN WOOTTON (pictured)
At ITV Daytime, where I worked for 10 years, they are untouchable; treated as the king and queen of the broadcaster for whom every whim is catered Mariah Carey-style by a massive team of ever obliging minions.
When offered the chance to view the Queen's coffin, it wouldn't have crossed their mind for even a moment that they should probably line up with the public, just like their colleague Susanna Reid or the far more famous David Beckham decided to do.
Indeed, they seemed to convince themselves that their coffin jaunt was some sort of selfless exercise conducted on a Friday (their holy day off) so they could be the eyes and ears of the British public.
In a damage control broadcast yesterday, Holly said in a voiceover dripping with faux sincerity: 'It was strictly for the purpose of reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK who haven't been able to visit Westminster in person. The rules were that we would be quickly escorted around the edges to a platform at the back. In contrast, those paying respects walked along a carpeted area beside the coffin and were given time to pause. None of the broadcasters and journalists there took anyone's place in the queue and no one filed past the Queen. We, of course, respected those rules. However, we realise that it may have looked like something else and, therefore totally understand the reaction. Please know that we would never jump a queue.'
Er, what?
Holly, Phillip and This Morning are taking us for fools with that statement.
We KNOW they skipped the queue. That's not in doubt – it's a fact; the videos show it happening.
By treating This Morning viewers in such a derisory manner, it's no wonder Queuegate is shredding Phillip and Holly's remaining credibility.
The question is not whether the star presenters skipped the line, but whether that was an acceptable thing to do as 'journalists' covering the historic event.
Even if we're kind and accept that Phil and Holly are suddenly field reporters and This Morning is a news show, much still doesn't make sense with their explanation.
Most curious is the fact that they turned up at Westminster without any cameramen or technical crew. That's unheard of for star presenters at a show like This Morning with a limitless budget.
Obviously, no equipment could be taken into Westminster Hall itself, but if they were reporting on the event, they would have had cameras to film them before they entered and once they left, presumably interviewing members of the public about their experience inside.
But all that ended up being broadcast was a very short clip that appeared to have been filmed on an iPhone, where Holly nods enthusiastically in agreement when Phillip proclaims: 'That's probably got to be one of, if not the most, profound moments of my life.'
Even more curious is the fact they had no show to broadcast on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, so they knew the earliest they would be able to talk about their experience at Westminster Hall was on Tuesday, by which point the Queen had already been buried.
I believe this has become a scandal because of transparency and trustworthiness.
This is the sort of VIP treatment Phillip and Holly (pictured together) have come to expect, writes DAN WOOTTON
If Holly and Phil had admitted they did skip the queue, using their privilege as members of the media, as many other journalists and broadcasters have done, to be able to talk about the experiences of seeing the Queen's coffin on their show, then we would have at least respected their honesty and moved on.
But it's the holier-than-thou response suggesting that we all totally missed the point that has made things much worse.
To be honest, I feel like the cult of Phillip and Holly might be coming to an end.
In fairness, she's a nice woman who has made a decision to be dragged down in so many ways by her co-host out of loyalty when she would be better off going her own way and focussing on her highly successful primetime projects and lifestyle business ventures.
Viewers have seen through Phillip after a series of scandals that seemed to shed light on his notoriously frosty relations with fellow presenters.
They include the original Fern Britton, a good woman who remains bruised by her experiences, the exceptional Amanda Holden, who he for some inexplicable refused to work with and she called him out for it, and my GB News colleague Eamonn Holmes, who helped announce Phillip's choreographed TV coming out only to be tossed aside months later.
This Morning worked when we felt like we were watching two of our pals, with a family of regular guests with whom we could relate.
Now we feel like we're being talked down to by two frosty multi-millionaire A-list divas who don't seem to be that nice to their colleagues or fellow presenters.
Sadly, Queuegate has proven what we've suspected for a long time: Phillip and Holly think they're better than us.

Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton skip DC memorial to the Queen... leaving Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy to honor Her Majesty at Washington National Cathedral
- Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy attended the service at the Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday
- None of the former presidents who were invited - Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton and Carter - attended the service
- President Carter, aged 97, was not expected to travel from his home in Georgia to the event in DC
- During the service on Wednesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a fraud lawsuit against President Trump
- She alleged that Trump and his three adult children defrauded investors out of $250million by inflating their wealth

Washington lawmakers gathered at the National Cathedral today for a memorial service honoring Queen Elizabeth II, but none of the living former presidents who were invited chose to attend.
Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton and Carter were all invited to the service after missing out on invitations to the Queen's State Funeral in London earlier this week along with the former leaders of other nations.
While Carter, 97, was never expected to attend Wednesday's service in Washington, the presence of the other four living former presidents was hoped for. It's unclear why none chose to be there.
During the service on Wednesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a lawsuit against Trump - who had been posting on Truth Social earlier in the day about Putin's threat of nuclear war.
James accused Trump and his three adult children of fraudulently inflating their wealth in order to secure investment in their family business for at least ten years.

Vice President Kamala Harris was the most senior US official at the DC service. She attended with her husband, Doug Emhoff, sitting in the front row with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Readings and prayers were delivered by the British Ambassador to the US Dame Karen Pierce, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy James Roscoe, the Dean of Washington Cathedral, the Very Reverend Randolph Marshall Hollerith and the Most Reverend Michael Bruce Curry, the Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church.
The service was laid on in Washington DC by the British Embassy and Washington National Cathedral

Former President Jimmy Carter, 97, was not able to attend the service. He paid tribute to the Queen with a statement following her death in which he praised her 'dignity, graciousness and sense of duty.' He remains at home in Georgia with his 95-year-old wife, Rosalynn.
All five living former presidents issued moving statements in the immediate aftermath of Her Majesty's death on September 8th. They each visited Buckingham Palace during their time in office.
In a heartfelt and moving piece written exclusively for DailyMail.com, former President Donald J. Trump said meeting the Queen was one of the 'most extraordinary honors' of his life.
'The whole of civilization is in mourning. The passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the enlightened monarch who reigned over the United Kingdom for 70 years, is a loss felt by billions around the world.
'Few in history have more fully exemplified the traits of dignity, steadfastness, resolve, duty, and patriotic devotion.
'Spending time with Her Majesty was one of the most extraordinary honors of my life.
'As we grieve, we are comforted that King Charles III will be a great and outstanding successor to his cherished mother. Melania and I were blessed to get to know him well when we visited England.
'He dearly loves the U.K. and its people. I know he will prove to be an inspiration to the British People, and that under Charles’s reign, they will continue to persevere through all challenges, and push relentlessly onward toward their great destiny in which Queen Elizabeth II so deeply believed.
'God bless the Queen. God bless her family. God bless the United Kingdom,' he wrote.

Queen Elizabeth II met President Trump first in 2018 at Windsor Castle. She welcomed Trump and Melania to Buckingham Palace during a State Visit the following year.
In one of the most well-known images from that visit, the pair are shown giggling and clinking glasses at a formal dinner.
Former President Barack Obama met with the Queen four times; 2009, 2011, 2014 and 2016.
He spoke fondly of her long before her death, comparing her to his grandmother who was 'straight-forward' and 'didn't suffer fools'.
President George W. Bush welcomed the Queen to the White House for a visit in 2007 while President Clinton brought Hillary and Chelsea - then aged 20 - to meet Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace during a visit to the UK and Ireland in 2000.
In his statement following her death on September 8, Clinton hailed her 'unfailing grace', tweeting via The Clinton Foundation: 'Throughout her remarkable 70-year reign, she led Britain through great transformations with unfailing grace, dignity, and genuine care for the welfare of all its people.
'In sunshine or storm, she was a source of stability, serenity, and strength.'

analysis: Inside the AFL grand final: Working together, owning the middle, not banking on Buddy — how Sydney Swans can win
Flags and grand final victories are not a thing given lightly.
For much of the history of the league, the Swans of South Melbourne had propped up the bottom rungs of the ladder. Despite greats like Bob Skilton filtering through the club, the Swans spent the five decades after their loss in the 1945 "Bloodbath" grand final without so much as a finals win to their name.
LoadingTo fans under the age of 35, that's a little hard to comprehend. Since their appearance in the 1996 grand final, the Swans have missed the finals just five times. They have become a constant in September, just like the rising temperatures.
Two short years ago, the modern Swans found themselves going back in time, and down the ladder. The 2019 and 2020 seasons saw Sydney glued to the bottom four.
Coach John Longmire declared in 2019 that they were looking to the long-term.
"We'll try and fast-track it (the rebuild) as quick as we can. But we'll keep coaching as well," Longmire plainly stated.
"We want to get our process right so we can be a really good competitive team as soon as we can."
For the Swans, it was just two short years between finishing the bottom four and featuring in the biggest match of the football year.
Now just the Geelong Cats — the side they beat by 30 in round 2 — stand between them and the 2022 premiership.
This is how the Swans can win the 2022 AFL flag.
Which way to go
Much like nature's swans work together in flight, the footballing Swans support each other on field. Working cohesively, and in balance, is critical to the teams' success.
"We will have some plans that we go in with, as per every week, but at the end of the day, it's about your collective and making sure your players work for and with each other," Longmire discussed earlier this month.
"There will be individual roles but every player has a role at certain points of the game."
Nowhere is this more evident than their midfield grouping. The Swans have undertaken a near-complete evolution of their inside rotation since their 2016 grand final, with captain Luke Parker the sole holdover in the current team. It's full of young talent, underpinning their team of the future.
There's also an intense focus on the balance between defence and attack in the midfield.
"No matter who we play, we like to play two-way footy and that's all of our midfielders," Longmire said.
The Swans aren't great at scoring from stoppages, ranking just 15th in the competition in points scored per stoppage possession chain. But stoppages do play a critical role in their around-the-ground defence and potent counterattack on turnovers.
LoadingSydney generates a far higher rate of ground-ball turnovers than the league average. When opposition sides have the ball, the Swans effectively balance pressuring the ball carrier and preventing clear handballs and short kicks. This build-up of pressure can quickly get the ball going the other way.
Owning the middle of the ground is critical to the Swans' style and approach to winning games of football.
The Swans score the most points of any team from intercepts in the midfield zone. And when they give up the ball in that part of the ground, only Fremantle are better at stopping other sides from scoring.
LoadingIf Sydney can dominate the flow of play in the middle of the ground, the Cats will have a hard time making up ground elsewhere.
Wrapped up
One thing that hasn't changed about Longmire's Swans is their ability to beat sides into submission by stopping them from scoring. The names may have changed along the way — aside from Dane Rampe — but the results are deceptively similar.
LoadingSydney conceded the third fewest points per inside 50 of any side this year. The Swans' defence works in near-unison, communicating effectively and able to generate spares in defence to prevent opposition forays forward.
While some sides try to create intercept marks, the Swans are content to kill contests via the spoil. Sydney has a tall defence, with four of their backs (the brothers Tom and Paddy McCartin, Rampe and Nick Blakey) able to credibly cover key-position forwards.
All are also mobile enough to compete as the third man up, limiting the number of one-on-one contests their defence sees.
Sydney makes it hard for opposition sides to find easy avenues to goal. The Cats are one of the best sides in the game at generating space for their forwards, and repeat inside 50 entries. The Sydney defence will need to be at the top of their game to hold the Geelong forwards off.
Directions to goal
The two-way focus isn't just limited to their stellar defensive work. The Swans have also improved year-on-year in their attacking focus, ending the year as one of the best attacking sides.
Much of this work is done off the counter-attack, with the Swans excelling at turning intercepts into scoring opportunities. Sydney can flick the switch between slow and quick play as the opportunities present themselves.
This helps the side generate attacking one-on-one opportunities, worth their weight in gold. The Swans capitalise on them as well as any side in the competition.
The Swans also have a number of pathways to goal. Despite the intense media focus on Lance Franklin, the Swans can hit the scoreboard through several different targets. Longmire toys with dropping smalls deep to disrupt opposition defences, and rotating his talls through the hotspot.
Against a Geelong defence that is vice-like, finding non-Franklin targets up forward will be key to getting a big-enough score on the board.
Future forecast
Few can forget the magic moment when the two sides met earlier this year and Franklin kicked his 1,000th league goal.
LoadingLost in some minds, however, was the result that day — a 30-point Sydney victory. A lot has changed in the time since then, almost an entire season ago.
The Swans dominated through winning possession in the middle of the ground — generating 62 of their 107 points from 24 midfield turnovers. The margin may have flattered the Swans a little bit, with the Swans kicking unerringly accurately towards goal.
Longmire's message through the finals has been simple and direct.
"I just keep telling them to focus on what works and understanding their role in the team, that any particular moment is important and putting pressure on the opposition is important."
Speaking after last week's preliminary final victory, Longmire's assessment for the grand final was simple.
"We'll have to play at our best. We'll give it a go."

Observation tower planned to spruce up town's waterfront
- Credit: Graham Massie Architects
Plans are under way for a major new landmark to be built on King’s Lynn’s historic waterfront, as a part of a multi-million pound package of improvements to the area.
An observation tower at the end of the town’s South Quay is the most eye-catching proposal among a raft of suggested upgrades to the town’s riverside district.
Concept drawings of the tower, produced by a council-commissioned architect, show how a large, four-sided structure with promontories at the top level jutting out of at least three of those sides.
The idea has been put forward by the borough council as part of a business case to refurbish the waterfront - and the authority plans to fund the improvements using money from Lynn’s £25m Town Deal pot.
The business case also includes a plan to refurbish the grade-1 listed Custom House so that it includes a passenger lift between the ground floor and the second floor, along with landscaping changes to encourage more pop-up businesses around it.
A few other proposals for the riverfront, discussed at earlier stages of the project, have been removed from it due to their cost.
They include a plan to create a floating pool in the Outer Purfleet, a multi-use covered area in King’s Staithe Square and the permanent closure of the square to traffic.
The council is set to keep those proposals as “priority projects” to be pursued outside the Town Deal.

Business cases have also been prepared for Town Deal cash to be used to improve active travel in Lynn and to create a new community hub in the former Argos building in the Vancouver Quarter.
The active travel plans include proposals to create so-called ‘active travel hubs’ at the Nar Ouse Enterprise Zone and at the Baker Lane car park in the town centre. Each would include electric vehicle charging and cycling storage, electric cycle charging, lockers and other facilities.
The three business cases are set to be discussed by councillors at a meeting of the authority’s regeneration and development panel on Thursday, September 22.
Among other projects across Lynn, the council also plans to use the Town Deal money to refurbish the St George’s Guildhall and make it a global destination for Shakespeare fans.
Renowned as Britain’s oldest working theatre, Shakespeare himself is thought to have performed there in 1593.

Two Alabama veterans who were captured in Ukraine by Russian forces have been freed
Two former military members from Alabama who were captured by Russian forces in Ukraine have been freed, according to family members.
Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh were believed to be the first Americans captured while fighting against Russian forces. Their group came under heavy fire on June 9 in the Kharkiv region, near the Russian border.
The aunt of Drueke, Dianna Shaw, confirmed the news in a text message with sister station WVTM.
Shaw said Drueke and Huynh are currently at the U.S. Embassy in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, where they are undergoing a medical evaluation.
“We are thrilled to announce that Alex and Andy are free. They are safely in the custody of the US embassy in Saudi Arabia and after medical checks and debriefing, they will return to the States," Shaw said in her text message to WVTM. "We deeply appreciate everyone's prayers and especially the close communication and support of our elected officials, Ukrainian Ambassador Markarova, and our members of the US embassies in Ukraine and Saudi Arabia and the US Department of State."
U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt and Congresswoman Terri Sewell released statements after learning the news on Wednesday.
From Rep. Aderholt:
“The family of Andy Huynh has informed my office that the two veterans have been freed from their captivity in eastern Ukraine. My office is working to get more information from the United States Department of State about the health of these men and how soon they will be brought home to their families in the U.S. I want to say how thankful and relieved I am that they have been freed. Having met with Joy and Darla Black, I know they are beyond relieved and excited for this news. I know we all look forward to seeing them back safely, on American soil.”
From Rep. Sewell:
“Today, I was informed that Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh have been freed from captivity and will soon return to the United States! Words cannot express my joy and relief at this wonderful news. I have been deeply inspired by the strength and resilience of Bunny Drueke and Dianna Shaw as we work to bring these two veterans home. We are all so grateful that Alex and Andy will soon be back on American soil and reunited with their families.”

Ami unveils jewellery capsule with Alan Crocetti
11 hours ago
Parisian label Ami has teamed up with London-based jewellery designer Alan Crocetti for autumn/winter 2022.
Ami’s creative director Alexandre Mattiussi worked with Crocetti to design a line of jewellery that reinterpreted the Ami de Coeur, the brand’s celebrated symbol, a capital A crowned with a heart by using the brand's core values of love, respect, friendship and inclusion as guidelines.
The result is a capsule jewellery range designed around the symbolic theme of the heart, with contemporary unisex rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets in sterling silver, with some adorned with crystal stones.
Commenting on the collaboration, Mattiussi said in a statement: “I have been following Alan’s creations for some time now. His universe is unique, very personal and sexy, I love his extremely well-designed work.
“I wanted Ami’s new collection to feature an elegant line of jewellery, simple yet with a strong identity. Together with Alan, we decided to start with the heart, as it is a symbol at the core of Ami’s history and signature. Alan keeps pushing boundaries, and I truly believe that he is the most creative jewellery designer of his generation.”
Crocetti added: “For our first Ami collaboration I decided to emphasise the true meaning of the two directional hearts. Both Ami and Alan Crocetti share the same ethos. One that embraces the meaning of Love.
“In jewellery it is said that if you wear a ring with its front towards you it means you wear it for yourself and the opposite way to show it to someone else. With this jewellery collection you have the hearts facing both ways conveying the idea that you got to love yourself the same way you project and give love to others."

Chicago to pay $15M over woman's death in police chase crash
CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago City Council approved a settlement on Wednesday that will pay $15 million to the family of a woman who was killed when a police cruiser ran a red light and slammed into her SUV after officers allegedly ignored repeated orders to end their high-speed pursuit of a carjacking suspect.
Without discussion, the council approved the settlement with the family of Guadalupe Francisco-Martinez, a mother of six who was 37 years old when she died. The move was widely expected after its finance committee agreed with the city's law department that the wrongful death lawsuit should be settled rather than allow it to go to trial and risk having to pay an even greater amount.
"There will be enormous sympathy for the family of (Francisco-Martinez), who endured such a tragic, tragic event," the law department's counsel, Mimi Ruether, said before committee unanimously authorized the settlement on Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported.
If the case had gone to trial, a jury would have been presented evidence outlined in the lawsuit, including a number of radio dispatches in which the pursuing officers were ordered to end their chase before the crash. Further, the lawsuit contended that the officer who struck Francisco-Martinez's vehicle was driving well over the speed limit and disregarded a red traffic light at the intersection where the collision occurred.
The crash, which prompted revisions of the police department's vehicular pursuit policy, occurred on the city's northwest side on the night of June 3, 2020. Francisco-Martinez was coming home from her first day on a new job when, with the green light, she drove into an intersection where the officer slammed into her vehicle with a marked police cruiser.
The driver of the vehicle that police were chasing remains in the Cook County Jail, where he is being held on $1 million bail on charges of first-degree murder, vehicular hijacking and other counts.
The department came under criticism for that chase as well as others that ended with crashes. Last year, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that a "pursuit litigation analysis" prepared for Mayor Lori Lightfoot concluded that 180 out of 270 police chases in 2019 ended in crashes, including crashes in which a total of eight people died.

Titans put two on IR, fear Taylor Lewan is done for season
The Tennessee Titans placed safety Chris Jackson and kick returner Trenton Cannon on injured reserve Wednesday amid fears there may soon be another more prominent name added to the list.
In corresponding moves, the Titans signed two defensive backs, veteran Terrance Mitchell off New England's practice squad and Andrew Adams off Pittsburgh's practice squad.
Veteran Pro Bowl offensive lineman Taylor Lewan suffered an injury on the team's first offensive play from scrimmage in Monday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills and was carted off the field. Reports indicate the team is bracing for Lewan being done for the season with a knee injury.
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel would only say Tuesday that Lewan is being evaluated further. The first injury report of the week is due later Wednesday. Lewan also missed the final 11 games of the 2020 season with a torn ACL.
Lewan, 31, has started 100 of 105 career games, all with the Titans. He is a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
Cannon, 28, is done for the season after reportedly blowing out his knee on the opening kickoff against the Bills. He had two kickoff returns in Week 1 for 33 yards. Cannon was signed in the offseason, didn't make the initial 53-man roster but was added to the practice squad and elevated.
It's unclear what Jackson's injury is or the extent of it. He played in 35 percent of the Titans' snaps on defense in the loss to the Bills. Jackson, 24, is in his third season with the Titans, with five passes defensed in 24 games (six starts).
Mitchell, 30, has recorded 269 tackles, eight interceptions and nine forced fumbles in 83 games (51 starts) for five teams. He played in 14 games (13 starts) with the Houston Texans in 2021.
Adams, 29, has seven career interceptions and 23 passes defensed in 87 games (35 starts) with the New York Giants (2016-17) and Tampa Bay (2018-21).

SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON: Gareth Southgate should DROP Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, Trent is NOT a good enough defender and Marcus Rashford can still start at the World Cup
- Time is running out for Gareth Southgate to finalise his squad for the World Cup
- He kept faith with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw for Nations League squad
- Both have lost their place in the Manchester United team after poor displays
- Ex-England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson believes Southgate should drop them
- Eriksson has his reservations about Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold

Sven-Goran Eriksson has warned England manager Gareth Southgate against picking Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw for the World Cup because they aren't playing regularly.
Both defenders were dropped by United manager Erik ten Hag after a shaky start to the Premier League season and have failed to regain their places from Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia, respectively.
But Maguire and Shaw were still both included in Southgate's squad for this week's UEFA Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany, with the England boss likely to stick with his trusted lieutenants for Qatar.
Sven-Goran Eriksson has warned Gareth Southgate against picking Harry Maguire (pictured) after being dropped from the Manchester United starting line-up
The former Three Lions boss has also insisted left-back Luke Shaw (pictured) should be dropped
Eriksson, who managed England between 2001 and 2006, has cautioned against taking the pair to the tournament if they don't regain their United place.
He said: 'I think it's difficult for Southgate to pick Maguire and Shaw because if they don't play regularly, it's very difficult to let them play in the national team because it's one thing to train, but it's another to have a regular routine of games. So that's a difficult one.'
Eriksson, who led England in two World Cups and a European Championship, also warned against picking Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold in the right-back position.
Southgate has often overlooked Alexander-Arnold in favour of Kyle Walker or Kieran Trippier but he was named in his latest squad despite some worrying early season moments.
Southgate has often overlooked Alexander-Arnold in favour of Kyle Walker or Kieran Trippier
Eriksson, speaking to Boyle Sports, said: 'It's incredible how many good right-backs there are, you could almost close your eyes and pick one name.
'I remember during my time we had Gary Neville, or on the other side Ashley Cole, if they were not available it created a problem. But here if one or two right-backs are not available, you can easily put one in.
'I guess I'd start with Alexander-Arnold or Kyle Walker, one of them.
'Trent is a fantastic attacker of course, great crosses and a great right foot, extremely good right foot.
'As a defender he's not the best in the world but of course if you play for Liverpool, attacking, attacking, they maybe don't need that.
'I think it very much depends who the opponent is. For example Brazil, where you will probably not have the ball as much, maybe then you put in one who is stronger defensively.'
The former Three Lions manager also believes Marcus Rashford can still win a place in England's starting line-up for when they start their World Cup against Iran on November 21.

Rashford looks revitalised under Ten Hag this season after a 2021-22 campaign that started with the disappointment of his missed penalty in the Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy and featured injury problems.
The Man United forward missed out on Southgate's latest selection because of a muscle problem, with Jadon Sancho, also far better this season, a notable omission.
Eriksson said: 'In regards to Sancho and Rashford's absence, I think Rashford should be in the squad. He picked 28 players I think.
'That's a lot, I don't think he can do that for the World Cup, but that means he wants to see as many players as possible. And he wants to work with them and see how they are in training.
England boss Southgate has some tough decision to make ahead of the 2022 World Cup
'So I guess it's normal, but I think some of the players who are not picked still have a chance to be picked when he chooses the World Cup squad.
'One thing I thought was a little bit strange but good for English football, the players are coming from I think 16/17 different clubs and during my time there were not so many clubs.
'They have players from Dortmund, players from Roma, which is fantastic so I think it's strange that there are so many players good enough to play for the national team not only playing for big teams.
'You are not used to seeing a couple of players from Newcastle and West Ham playing in the national team.'
England play Italy in Milan on Friday night and Germany at Wembley next Monday as they look to avoid the ignominy of relegation from League A of the Nations League.
They trail Italy by three points and realistically must win both games this week to avoid dropping into League B.

Shooting victims' families want to ensure inquiry recommendations followed
Families of victims of Nova Scotia's mass shooting called Wednesday for an oversight committee to ensure the recommendations coming out of the public inquiry into the tragedy won't be ignored.
In his final submissions to the inquiry, Tom Macdonald, the lawyer for the brother of victim Sean McLeod, said the committee should include a small group that tracks whether the inquiry's recommendations are followed.
Macdonald said it should include representatives of the provincial and federal governments and the RCMP as well as an advocate for families. It would be led by a single "implementation czar" who would hold the federal and Nova Scotia governments to account.
The lawyer said the murders of McLeod and his wife Alanna Jenkins in West Wentworth, N.S., on the second day of the rampage, along with the 20 other people -- including a pregnant woman -- killed on April 18-19, 2020, should prompt lasting reforms.
"Two years from now you may have totally different leadership at the RCMP, a different minister of public safety, maybe a different government, and these (recommendations) are too important to be left to the ups and downs of change," said Macdonald.
He said there was "voluminous" evidence of the policing shortfalls, including confusion over which staff sergeant was overseeing the initial response, poor knowledge of local geography and an "unacceptable delay" in warning the public of an active shooter driving a replica police vehicle.
Jane Lenehan, who represents the family of Gina Goulet, said the Mounties' image of reliability in Nova Scotia was gone, despite the bravery of some individual officers during the mass shooting.
"The vision and mystique of the red serge, that comforting and reassuring belief in the RCMP, has been shattered," she said.
Goulet was the 22nd victim, dying at her home on the outskirts of Shubenacadie, N.S., almost 13 hours after the first murder. The gunman was killed by police half an hour later at a gas station in Enfield, N.S.
Lenehan said her clients were disturbed by the poor relationship between the RCMP and local police forces, and noted that police testified during the inquiry the relationship has only worsened.
She reminded the commissioners of an email exchange between Truro police Chief David MacNeil and RCMP Chief Supt. Chris Leather that began slightly before 10 a.m. on the second day of the killings, when MacNeil offered "any support" needed. Leather replied that the RCMP believed it had the suspect pinned down and said he'd be "in touch."
In his testimony before the commission, Leather, the head of criminal operations, said he was too busy to follow up, adding that MacNeil should have contacted a lower-ranking RCMP officer closer to the scene.
Lenehan told the commissioners "this kind of bureaucratic response may make sense to the RCMP, but it made no sense to the families."
"This exchange was an important one to my clients, as the perpetrator was able to drive through Truro, unimpeded, about 15 minutes after it occurred," she told the commissioners. Goulet was killed after that.
She said the commissioners should recommend requirements for co-operation between police forces.
The lawyer also called for a permanent moratorium on the auctioning of decommissioned police vehicles, saying it wasn't worth the risk to public safety. She added the RCMP could instead sell the vehicles for scrap metal and parts.
Steve Topshee, a lawyer whose firm represents the families of victims Lillian Campbell, Aaron Tuck, Jolene Oliver and Emily Tuck, also raised the need for a system to ensure the inquiry's recommendations are followed.
He said that if there are no reforms, it raises the question of whether the province should continue to contract with RCMP for rural policing.
During a short afternoon session, the inquiry was urged to make strong recommendations to address gender-based and domestic violence.
The commission had previously heard that the killer's rampage was preceded by an assault on his spouse, Lisa Banfield. Evidence gathered indicated he had used coercive tactics against her throughout their 19-year relationship, as well as against other women.
Lawyer Jamie Goodwin spoke on behalf of a coalition of advocacy and support organizations such as women's shelters. He said the commission needs to use its platform to call out the "false dichotomy" between public and private violence.
"We cannot make sense of the murders of April 2020 without understanding the perpetrator's history of family, gender-based and intimate partner violence," Goodwin said.

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian have "matcha in bed" every morning.
The 46-year-old drummer has been married to reality star Kourtney, 43, since May and revealed that he and his wife each take a dose of the ground green tea leaves - which are high in antioxidants and are said to boost brain function as well as potentially prevent cancer - before going for a three mile run every day.
He said: "We have matcha in bed every morning, no matter where we're at, we're at a hotel, we're traveling. We work out. We walk or run three miles a day."
The Blink-182 rocker went on to explain that he has followed a vegan diet for 16 years, while 'The Kardashians' star eliminates animal products from her diet almost all of the time and joked that she "just needs to give up" eating dairy products like butter and cheese.
He told PEOPLE: "I've been vegan for 16 years. [Kourtney's] 99% vegan, which I love. There's no fur. There's no meat. There's no fish. My baby just needs to give up cheese, pretty much, and butter!"
Travis - who was previously married to 'Celebrity Big Brother' star Shanna Moakler and has Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16 with her while Kourtney has children Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and seven-year-old Reign with her ex-partner Scott Disick - added that he wants to be "in shape" for both his professional commitments and his family, noting that he always tries to steer his children in the "right direction" when it comes to their health.
He said: "I want to be in shape, but it's also like, how can I play drums better? How can I not get tired? How can I be strong for my kids? How can I be better at Muay Thai? I think of all those things. And I just try to have my workout routine support all those things.
"Wellness means to me... I think there's millions of people around the world that think you don't have to pay for what you eat or how you neglect your body and how you neglect your health. And I feel like at some point you got to pay up, and wellness has always been that for me.
"But I think you can get all the surgeries you want to look a certain way. You've got to pay your debt at some point," he continues. "I've always told my kids, just be healthy, drink water, don't use products that are toxic. I don't know. Just try to steer them in the right direction as much as I can."

Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) signed land lease agreements with six companies on Wednesday.
The companies are: Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Limited, Ifad Autos, East West Travels and Tours Ltd and three firms of Dipta Group - DIRD Composite Textiles Ltd, Dipta Garments Ltd and DIRD Garments Ltd.
BEZA Executive Member (Administration and Finance) Abdul Azim Chowdhury, Healthcare Pharmaceuticals' Director Md Halimuzzaman, Ifad Autos Managing Director Taskin Ahmed, DIRD Group Director Miz Shejuti Daulah and East-West Travels' Managing Director Mahmudul Hasan signed the agreements on behalf of their respective organizations at BEZA conference room in the city.
Five of the firms will be allocated the plots at the Sabrang Tourism Park, and one at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar in Chattogram's Mirsharai.
All plots span a total of 17 acres as the investments are expected to generate at least 8,219 jobs, said Beza officials on conditions of anonymity.
Speaking at the deal signing ceremony, BEZA Executive Chairman Sheikh Yusuf Harun said BEZA has been successful in building an investment-friendly environment in Bangladesh where the largest industrial city in South Asia is being constructed at Mirsharai. "The economic zone is set to bring an industrial revolution which will improve the living standards of people alongside achieving the sustainable development goals," he said.
He said BEZA has adopted several initiatives to establish a world-class tourism centre in Sabrang Tourism Park. It will be the first exclusive tourism park in Cox's Bazar district encompassing an area of 1,027 acres.
Sabrang has an amazing hill and sea beach territory. Fresh air, lofty hill, sea and lagoon offer the perfect conditions for development of tourism and entertainment facilities there.
Ifad Autos, a subsidiary of Ifad Group, is a local industrial giant with prominence in consumer goods and commercial vehicles. It will get plots at the Sabrang Tourism Park to plough into $16.20 million to build a 3-star hotel and resort.
Coming into operations in 1984, DIRD Group is involved in garment manufacturing, textile, engineering, software and agricultural sector. The three firms of the group will also get plots at Sabrang.
They will build cottages, resorts, hotels and motels at a total investment of $38.21 million, according to the investment proposal. The group expects at least 669 people will get employment at the new businesses.
The fifth company East West Travels and Tours Ltd, established in 1988, will also build a hotel at Sabrang on 1 acre of land.
Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Limited, one of the leading local drug-makers in Bangladesh, will get a 10-acre plot at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar.
Beza has already allotted 30 acres of land to Healthcare Pharmaceuticals at the Bangabandhu Silpa Nagar. The drug-maker said it needs another 10 acres of land for business expansion in active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated pharmaceuticals products.
The company will invest to set up its new plants at Shilpa Nagar to expand its manufacturing capacity. -BSS

Social Media these days has been with lots of fun, drama, and suspense from the Liberian entertainment world. Let’s dive straight to the topic, why did MC Caro ask Anitram about her relationship status?
Funny how it was when a comment was made under Anitram’s post from MC Caro asking if she’s (Anitram) was single, but the reply shocked her, Anitram said she was taken, and again it went wide under the comment session when a fan replied to MC Caro about her lifestyle of being a lesbian.
Anitram’s boyfriend is not in hidden but we don’t know why MC Caro can’t see him through, once upon a time she (MC Caro) challenged an upcoming male artist to a battle online, if she’s smart enough, that’s Anitram’s guy, and it is like MC Caro don’t want to leave the family alone.

'As an American I have a right to say things that are hurtful and not true': Alex Jones has on-brand meltdown outside courthouse during his second defamation trial for calling Sandy Hook massacre a hoax
- Arriving at the Waterbury courthouse Wednesday, Jones engaged in a full-scale meltdown outside the judicial building
'As an American, I have a right to question something,' Jones told reporters outside the court, growing increasingly red-faced as he made his statement - The spiel also saw him accuse prosecutors of using his trial 'to go after the First Amendment,' after claiming liberals had been using it to try to repeal the Second
- Jones, who reaches an audience of millions through his Texas-based program, spent years claiming that the Newtown, Connecticut , shooting was a hoax
- Last year, a Texas judge ordered pay more than $50million to the parents of one of 20 kids who died in the mass shooting by a Texas judge
- 'I have apologized for six years for anything I did wrong, questioning Sandy Hook,' Jones, 48, said, ending up red-faced and out-of-breath at points
Alex Jones' second Sandy Hook defamation trial is currently heating up in Connecticut, as the embattled InfoWars host is set to soon take the stand to address comments he made that questioned the tragedy.
Arriving at the Waterbury courthouse Wednesday, Jones engaged in a full-scale meltdown outside the judicial building, asserting that he's apologized for the comments for years and that they should be protected by the First Amendment.
'As an American, I have a right to question something,' Jones told reporters outside the court, growing increasingly red-faced as he made his statement. 'I did say things that were hurtful and not true,' he admitted. 'As an American, I have a right.'
The spiel from the right-wing radio personality - who ballooned to pseudo-stardom during the 2016 election - also saw him accuse prosecutors of using his trial 'to go after the First Amendment.'
The claim seemed to contradict previous assertions from Jones that liberals had been using the shooting to try to repeal the Second Amendment, not the First.

Arriving for court in Connecticut Wednesday, embattled InfoWars host Alex Jones engaged in a full-scale meltdown outside the judicial building, asserting that he's apologized for the comments for years and that they should be protected by the First Amendment
Jones, who reaches an audience of millions through his Texas-based program, spent years claiming on-air that the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting was a hoax - and was found liable for those claims by Judge Barbara Bellis earlier this month.
Last year, a Texas judge ordered pay more than $50million to the parents of one of 20 kids who died in the mass shooting by a Texas judge.
The current hearing, meanwhile - which is now in its sentencing stage - is being held to determine how much he should pay relatives of eight other victims and an FBI agent who responded to the scene of the 2012 massacre.
A Connecticut jury of three men and three women, meanwhile, will determine the exact amount Jones and InfoWars owes to relatives of the 26 killed in the shooting, which Jones had said was carried out by 'crisis actors.' He is set to testify Thursday.
'I have apologized for six years for anything I did wrong, questioning Sandy Hook,' Jones, 48, said during his tirade, ending up red-faced and out-of-breath at points.
'I didn't question Sandy Hook to be mean, I wasn't the leader of question for Sandy Hook, but I did say things that were hurtful and not true, but I did not do it on purpose.'
Jones went on reiterate pervious assertions that he has already apologized for his comments, which he has said were products of journalism and not intentionally malicious - all while growing increasingly irate.
'I apologized four years ago on Joe Rogan – it's got over 100million views,' Jones told reporters. 'But the corporate media constantly says that, "Oh, for the first time, he apologizes,"' quoting what he likely perceived the general public's perception of his persecution, sarcastically putting the sentiment in air quotes.
'I apologized on Steven Crowder three years ago,' Jones went on, referring to a 2019 appearance on another right-wing web show.
'Six years ago,' he went on, 'I said, "I believe Sandy Hook happened."
'When I became extremely famous during the Trump campaign, Hillary Clinton ran $30million of national ads saying I was Trump's "brain," Jones continued, repeating claims that he been targeted by the left for repeatedly speaking out against them.
'Look, I like President Trump overall,' Jones said, 'but I was not his brain.' He added of the former president: 'He doesn't listen to anybody but himself.'
The outspoken conspiracy theorist went on to downplay his influence among the political right, suggesting that his comments should not hold nearly as much weight as the media currently suggests.

'Them Democrats believe that I run the Republican Party – I don't,' Jones said outside the court, as prosecutors called three relatives of victims slain in the shooting to testify against him.
'They believe that I'm, like, this Lex Luthor mastermind that controls everything – I don't,' Jones said, growing increasingly emotional. 'I basically don't even control my own life.'
The conservative talking head went on to tout the journalistic integrity of his longtime show InfoWars, while chalking up his false comments concerning the Sandy Hook as an oversight. He also claimed the remarks should be protected by the First Amendment.
'I'm just simply here to say: I'm not the Sandy Hook man,' Jones said, raising his voice and growing increasingly animated.
'I said I was sorry years and years ago, I've already tried to make restitution,;
Jones went on to claim that despite being declared guilty by Bellis back in 2021, his team did provide the court with evidence for discovery - a dubious assertion when considering the court's actions, and Jones' history with conspiracy theories.
'We gave the court all of the discovery,' Jones exclaimed, appearing erratic at points. 'They defaulted us because they did not find any evidence of premeditated "master plans" with Sandy Hook and all this garbage,' he explained further.
Jones is pictured arriving outside court in Connecticut Wednesday, where he was set to take the stand to attest to his innocence. He will instead speak tomorrow, after testimony from relatives of slain Sandy Hook victims took up most of the hearing
'That's not true. I've taken responsibility for the mistakes I've made.'
He continued: We have about a 95 percent accuracy rate on so many other subjects, I do question a lot of things, I'm more careful these days.'
The InfoWars host went on to assert that 'as an American, I have a right to question something.'
He quickly added: 'Now, if that becomes hurtful to individuals and causes them pain, that certainly is a problem – and I have admitted to that.'
Jones closed his spiel by saying members of the media - as well as the political left - were using him as a scapegoat for the tragedy, echoing previous claims he has made in court and in public.
The claim comes with some contention, as Jones had previously accused the media of using the massacre as a means to repeal the Second Amendment, not the First.
'So that's where we stand,' Jones said. 'They are using this case to go after the First Amendment. Sandy Hook was used against the Second Amendment – the right to bear arms – and now it is being used to go after the First Amendment, and that's terrible.'
Jones went on to equate his persecutors to 'a lynch mob,' whom he said has had him in their sights 'ever since Trump was elected.'
Jones launched into a heated tirade outside the courthouse where he is being sued for defamation, after branding the presiding judge a 'tyrant' and accusing her of attempting to coax a guilty plea out of him
'They looked at everything I've done and decided Sandy Hook was one of the biggest mistakes I've made,' Jones said, before adding, 'Nobody's perfect.'
He continued: 'They blew up what I said and did, twisted it, and took it out of context, and then said that I'm famous and successful because of Sandy Hook.
'Now, I said somethings that weren't right, that were hurtful – and I'm sorry for that, and I apologize for the 500th time.
'But that said, these lawyers, have misrepresented everything I've said and did, and everything that I stand for. And that's why I'm here today and I appreciate you all coming out,' he finished, before taking some of the crowd's questions.
Jones was already found guilty in the case by the presiding Judge Barbara Bellis late last year, after the jurist dished out a default judgement when Jones's team reportedly refused present their evidence prior to going to trial.
Jones has since branded the judge - who is currently presiding over the proceedings - a 'tyrant,' and has accused her and the mass media of attempting to set him up as a straw man for the mass shooting, coaxing a guilty plea out of him.

Jones was set to testify to the plaintiffs' legal team Wednesday, but saw his testimony pushed back to Thursday morning.
During proceedings Wednesday, jurors were shown how Jones's audience grew exponentially following his comments on the tragedy, which saw him garner national attention and saw his company revenues increase dramatically.
Prosecutors also showed Jones's egregious claims about the shooting, including when he mocked the parents of victims as 'crisis actors' and displayed completely false information about the events of the day.
Two parents of children killed as well as the daughter of the school's slain principal testified Wednesday tp the fear and pain they have suffered as a result of Jones' comments.
All said they were targeted with threats by those who believed Jone's repeated on-air declarations that the shooting was a hoax.
The three witnesses, David Wheeler, Jennifer Hensel, and Erica Lafferty, are among eight suing Jones for promoting the conspiracy on his media platforms, including InfoWars.
Jones was not allowed in the courtroom during their testimony.

The day prior, Jones also appeared outside the courthouse to make another series of brief statements to reporters, which saw him refer to Judge Bellis as 'a tyrant'.
Reporters expected to make a similar statement outside the court at lunchtime today, but were instead greeted with his rant about the media.
Jurors will decide how much the embattled conservatives should pay relatives of eight victims and the FBI agent who responded to the scene of the 2012 massacre.
Jones, who reaches a global audience of millions through his Texas-based program, spent years claiming on-air that the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting was a hoax - perpetrated by gun control advocates to appeal the Second Amendment.
He has since conceded that he was wrong, but not before he was forced to shell out tens of millions to the victim's families - a number that could soon swell as proceedings continue.
Bellis delivered a brutal legal blow to Jones last year by branding the host liable for his off-kilter comments - which included assertions that the shooting was staged by crisis actors.
Deciding in favor of the families, Bellis' ruling set a legal president that will likely see Jones ordered to shell out tens - perhaps hundreds - of millions of dollars.
On Tuesday, Jones subsequently let his thoughts on the jurist known, upon being mobbed by a group of reporters and paparazzi.
'This judge is a tyrant,' Jones exclaimed outside the courthouse at around 10:30am. 'This judge is ordering me to say that I'm guilty and to say that I am a liar. None of that is true.'
The far-right activist went on to rattle off other conspiracies he previously touted on his show that turned out to be true, in an effort to show that he was not malicious with his claims concerning the massacre, and that it was solely a journalistic flub.
'I was not wrong about Sandy Hook on purpose,' Jones said. 'I questioned it. Just like Jesse Smollett. Just like WMDs in Iraq. Just like the Gulf of Tonkin. There are a lot of staged events in history, just like WMDs in Iraq and I questioned every major event.'
Calling the ongoing defamation trial a 'travesty of justice,' Jones went on to assert that he was 'being put in an impossible position' with the repeated court dates.
The statements from Jones echo earlier, more tongue in cheek references to his persecution the past year, in which the alt-right host claimed families were using him as a patsy for their pent up frustrations toward shooter Adam Lanza, who committed suicide after the assault
'I'm being ordered to say I'm guilty,' Jones told the crowd, who clamored to get a quote from the TV and internet personality.
'I question every major event that we see, and so I'm being put in an impossible position inside of this courthouse.'
The statements from Jones echo earlier, more tongue in cheek references to his persecution the past year, in which the alt-right radio host claimed families were using him as a lighting rod for their pent up frustrations toward killer Lanza, who committed suicide after carrying out the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary.
'Has anybody ever heard of someone being ordered to say they're guilty, even in a criminal trial, where they found somebody with dead bodies?' Jones shouted over reporters and shuttering cameras.
'If the guilty person wants to get up and say they're innocent, they're allowed to,' he said.

Jones went on to claim that 'the judiciary has been weaponized' against him.
Calling the trial a 'struggle session right outside of South Africa or Communist China,' Jones then appeared to concede that he had profited off his claims regarding Sandy Hook, saying he would be 'perjuring myself' if he said he had not financially benefited from the coverage.
However, Jones then backtracked, saying, 'I don't want to be the Sandy Hook man. It was a small part of what we said and did.'
The conservative talking head proceeded to further pan the American justice system for what he has called a 'show trial' in a rigged 'kangaroo court'
In early August, the notorious conspiracy theorist was ordered to $45million in punitive damages to Sandy Hook parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis at the conclusion of an Austin, Texas, defamation trial.
The jury then compounded that ruling by ordering a further $4.1 million in compensatory damages, with Jones also owing an additional $1.5 million in fines.
This has left Jones owing more than $50 million for his claims concerning the shooting, proven to be demonstrably false and defamatory.
Jones is the founder of Infowars, the far-right conspiracy theory website that he launched 23 years ago that operates under the parent company, Free Speech Systems.
A Texas jury ordered Jones earlier this month to pay the families of the Sandy Hook massacre, nearly $50 million in damages after he spread a bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that the December 14, 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, never happened and that it was staged.
Twenty children, between the ages of six and seven years old, and six adults were killed when 20-year-old Adam Lanza went on a shooting spree.

Kyle Farrar, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families, who denies that Jones is bankrupt, claims that he is conjuring these plots to conceal money and evade responsibility.
Mediate reported he said 'Alex jones is not financially bankrupt; he is morally bankrupt.'
Jones is expected to file a response to the new motion soon, one of his bankruptcy lawyers, R.J. Shannon said last week.
This is the first of three trials that Jones will face in relation to his claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. Last year, he was found guilty of defaming the families of the victims.
Two others are set for September, one in Texas and one in Connecticut, where the shooting took place. A total of eight families will be represented in the Connecticut trial.
In their lawsuits, the families and FBI agent William Aldenberg say that they have been subject to harassment, abusive comments on social media and even death threats because of the hoax conspiracy.
Some of the plaintiffs say strangers have videotaped them and their surviving children. And some families have moved out of Newtown to avoid threats and harassment.
'I can't even describe the last nine and a half years, the living hell that I and others have had to endure because of the recklessness and negligence of Alex Jones,' Neil Heslin, Jesse Lewis' father, testified during the Texas trial.
The Connecticut lawsuit alleges defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violations of the state Unfair Trade Practices Act. The families claim when Jones talked about Sandy Hook, he boosted his audience and raked in more profits from selling supplements, clothing and other items.
The families have not asked for any specific amount of damages, some of which may be limited by state laws. There are no damage limits, however, under the Unfair Trade Practices Act.
In all the Connecticut and Texas cases, Jones and his lawyers repeatedly failed to turn over records as required to the families' attorneys. In response, judges handed down one of the harshest sanctions in the civil legal world — they found Jones liable for damages by default without trials.
Jones, who runs his web show and Infowars brand in Austin, Texas, also faces a third trial over the hoax conspiracy in another pending lawsuit by Sandy Hook parents in Texas.
In a reversal from what he said on his show for years following the shooting, Jones now says he believes the massacre was real.
Meanwhile, Jones continues to say his comments about the shooting being a hoax involving crisis actors to encourage gun control efforts were protected by free speech rights.
He is set to take the stand to speak to his innocence Thursday morning.

NEW YORK -- Former President Donald Trump's latest legal woes focus on allegations that he and his company chronically exaggerated the value of things he owned in order to obtain loans, lower his taxes or get deals done.
New York Attorney General Leticia James asserted in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that Trump's company used deceptive schemes to overstate the value of 23 properties and other assets, including his penthouse on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue and his posh Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Trump's legal team has said that he didn't defraud anyone. Estimating real estate values is a subjective art, they say, and the former president had no intent to trick anyone into getting things he didn't deserve.
Here’s a look at some of the ways Trump is accused in the lawsuit of lying about his net worth:
TRUMP TOWER, NEW YORK:
Trump's advertised his luxurious triplex home in Trump Tower home as being an enormous 30000 square feet (2,787 square meters), when it was actually just a third of that size, according to the attorney general's office. Based partly on that misrepresentation, the organization said in a financial statement in 2015 that the apartment was worth $327 million. “That price was absurd,” the attorney general's office said, noting that Trump's valuation was more than three times the price of the most expensive apartment ever sold in New York City.
MAR-A-LAGO, FLORIDA:
The Trump Organization valued the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, now the former president’s main residence, as high as $739 million. The attorney general's office says its real worth was only a tenth of that amount. The company based its valuation on the premise that the waterfront Palm Beach property could be developed as residential homes, when in fact its permissible use was restricted to that of a social club. As such, the revenues from the resort only amounted to $25 million annually, which the attorney general said would have made the property worth about $75 million.
TRUMP PARK AVE., NEW YORK:
In its financial statements, the Trump Organization estimated that its condominium tower on Manhattan's ritzy Park Avenue was worth as much as $350 million, according to the lawsuit. Yet those estimates differed substantially from the internal valuations used by the company for business planning. Part of the higher figures in the financial statements was due to the company ignoring the fact about a dozen apartments in the skyscraper were rent-stabilized, meaning they were unlikely to bring in luxury prices. A bank-ordered appraisal in 2010 valued the units at $750,000. But company statements over the next two years stated the market value for those units at $50 million.
40 WALL ST., NEW YORK:
In an another extreme example, James said the Trump Organization inflated the value of a Wall Street property that had initially been appraised at $220 million in 2012 but in statements, the company said the property was valued at some $530 million — attributing that amount to the same appraisal company that had valued it at a lower amount. Three years later, the Trump Organization obtained a new loan based roughly on higher value. The company then stated the property's valuation was $735 million.
JUPITER GOLF CLUB, FLORIDA:
The New York attorney general accused the Trump Organization of continuing a pattern of deception when it represented the value of a golf course in Jupiter, Florida, at $62 million — just a year after Donald Trump bought it for $5 million. “Virtually all of the value attributed to Jupiter was fraudulently overstated due to several deceptive methods and assumptions,” the attorney general's office said in a statement.
ABERDEEN GOLF COURSE, SCOTLAND:
The Trump Organization built fewer than 1,500 cottages and apartments at a golf course development in Aberdeen, Scotland, even though 2,500 such units were assumed. The company stated the value as $327 million, with $267 million of that valuation based on the build-out of 2,500 housing rentals, the attorney general's office said.

Florida State running back Dalvin Cook won the Orange Bowl MVP on Friday night as the Seminoles won in a wild finish against Michigan, 33-32.
Playing in his hometown of Miami with dozens of friends and family members on hand, Cook made plenty of memories in what could be his final college game. He rushed for 145 yards on 20 carries, including a 71-yarder to convert a 3rd-and-22 in the fourth quarter, and scored a touchdown to lead the FSU offense. He also caught three passes for 62 yards, giving him 207 total yards on the night. In doing so, he broke his own FSU single-season rushing record, which he first set last year, finishing 2016 with 1,765 yards.
"It took everything we had in us," Cook told ESPN.
Cook, a junior, has yet to announce whether he will apply for early eligibility to enter the 2017 NFL Draft.
FSU held a commanding 20-6 lead at the half, but the Wolverines returned an interception for a touchdown in the second half, and their offense began to play better thereafter. Michigan played without two of its top players -- LB Jabrill Peppers for the entire game, and TE Jake Butt for much of the game -- but still engineered a second-half comeback to take a late lead of 30-27. Peppers was withheld from action due to a hamstring injury sustained in practice. After the game, UM coach Jim Harbaugh said Butt might have suffered an MCL or ACL knee injury, but wasn't yet sure of which, according to The Blade.
With under two minutes remaining, FSU responded with a 66-yard kickoff return by Keith Gavin to set up a Deondre Francois 12-yard touchdown pass for a 33-30 lead with 0:36 remaining. Michigan blocked the PAT try and returned it to the opposite end zone for two points, cutting the margin to 33-32, but the Seminoles intercepted Speight with 0:16 remaining to seal the win.
