“All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” Laura Poitras’s epic documentary about photographer Nan Goldin and her activism against the Sackler family and their art connections has been awarded the Golden Lion for best film at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
Poitras thanked the festival for recognizing that “documentary is cinema” at the ceremony Saturday evening in Venice.
Runner up went to Alice Diop’s “Saint Omer.”
Cate Blanchett and Colin Farrell won the top acting prizes. Blanchett won for her performance as a renowned conductor in Todd Field’s “TÁR” and Farrell for playing a man who is broken up with by his longtime friend in Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin.”
“I’m shocked to get this and thrilled,” Farrell said in a live video message broadcast at the festival Saturday night. McDonagh was on site to collect the prize before he got one of his own for screenplay.
Luca Guadagnino won the Silver Lion award for best director for the cannibal romance “Bones and All” starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell, who also was recognized for her performance for best young actress.
“I have a speech prepared because I’m nervous,” Russell said. “I’m grateful beyond belief to be standing here. So many of my heroes are in this room.
Russell thanked Guadagnino.
“He’s been a great friend to me and I love him so dearly,” Russell said.
The jury also gave a special jury prize to “No Bears,” by imprisoned Iranian director Jafar Panâhi. The acclaimed director was in July ordered by Iran to serve six-year prison sentence from a decade ago that had never been enforced. The order came as the government seeks to silence criticism amid growing economic turmoil and political pressure.
The jury, led by Julianne Moore, is selecting the winners from 23 films in competition that included many Oscar hopefuls. The Oscar-winner presided over a jury that included French director Audrey Diwan, whose film “Happening” won the Golden Lion last year, author Kazuo Ishiguro (“Never Let Me Go”) and Iranian actor Leila Hatami (“A Separation”). Also on the main jury were Italian director Leonardo Di Costanzo (“The Inner Cage”) Argentinian filmmaker Mariano Cohn (“Official Competition”) and Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“The Candidate”).
Premiering in competition at Venice has launched many successful Oscar campaigns in recent years, leading to nominations and even wins. Seven times in the last nine years the best director Oscar has gone to a film that world premiered at the festival, including Chloé Zhao, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñarritu, twice, Guillermo del Toro and Damien Chazelle. It’s also debuted a handful future best picture winners like “Nomadland,” “The Shape of Water” and “Birdman.”
The festival cemented several films, actors and directors, as strong awards contenders for the season to come. Brendan Fraser moved many to tears for his portrayal of Charlie, a reclusive English teacher who weighs 600 pounds and is attempting to mend things with his estranged, cruel daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink) in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale.” Cate Blanchett also got universal raves for her turn in Todd Field’s “TÁR,” an intelligent drama about a renowned conductor at the top of her game in the world of international whose reputation suddenly comes under threat.
Aside from awards, it was a Venice for the books, with high glamour from Timothée Chalamet, who stunned in a red backless halter neck from Haider Ackermann, and Florence Pugh, looking the part of a movie star in a sheer tulle off the shoulder Valentino that slyly evoked both classic romanticism and playful modernity, and high drama, mostly around Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling.” The behind-the-scenes intrigue on Wilde’s film led to some excessive silliness as the world watched the cast’s every move for clues, from where people were seated, to who looked at who during the premiere.
Chris Pine even became an unlikely meme for various shots of him looking zoned out at a press conference. Then came “spit-gate” where onlookers turned into amateur sleuths trying to determine whether or not Harry Styles spit on Pine before the world premiere of the film (he didn’t). As ever, Venice gets people talking.

Bangladesh's economy has come of age, now attracts foreign players
Economic liberalization has put Bangladesh on a solid foundation since the current Awami League government has been in power for a long time.
- Country:
- Bangladesh
Economic liberalization has put Bangladesh on a solid foundation since the current Awami League government has been in power for a long time. Once called the bottomless basket of the world, Bangladesh's economy has now come of age, and the country's resilient economy now attracts foreign players, reported Bangladesh Live News.
Even the nations that had marked Bangladesh as a bottomless basket are now interested in developing close relations with Bangladesh. Notably, the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund Spring Meeting in 2022 lauded Bangladesh for successfully implementing its policies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recovery from its effect, reported Bangladesh Live News.
Bangladesh has come of age and with the broad-basing of its manufacturing sector and spur in infra projects, it can be an economy to watch out for in Asia. Since when (US Secretary of State) Henry Kissinger called it a 'basket case' in 1971, Bangladesh has come a long way. The recently inaugurated Padma bridge is a case in point. The international agencies that had refused to fund it are now congratulating Bangladesh on its completion.
Linking the southwest of the country to the northern and eastern regions, the road-rail bridge (Padma Bridge) built for USD 3.6 billion was inaugurated by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on June 25. Besides, entry into the era of metro rail, express highway, Karnaphuli tunnel, elevated expressway, radical renovation of the dilapidated railway sector which has gradually shrunk after independence, expansion of rail network, the establishment of direct rail network between Dhaka and Cox's Bazar, the establishment of the rail network with the southern and southwestern region through Padma bridge.
Construction of the third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, modernization and expansion of Cox's Bazar Airport, and renovation of Mongla Sea Port, Payra Shallow Sea Port, and Matarbari Deep Sea Port will bring great changes in the communication and infrastructure sector of Bangladesh, which is one of the successes of the government. The current government has improved the power generation record by overhauling the fragile power system left by the previous government, reported Bangladesh Live News.
In 2006, the total power generation capacity in the country was 3,378 MW. So far, Bangladesh's highest power generation capacity is 26,700 MW, and the maximum production in one day is 14,782 MW. Payra thermal power plant and Ruppur nuclear power plant will now provide interrupted power supply to Bangladesh. After China, Bangladesh's position in the ready-made garment industry is very strong. Moreover, the present government has created Special Economic Zones, easy business-friendly policies, reported Bangladesh Live News.
Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves now stand at more than USD 45 billion, despite rising import costs. Bangladesh's growth rate was way above Pakistan, even before the pandemic; in 2018-19 it was 7.8 per cent compared to Pakistan's 5.8 per cent, reported Bangladesh Live News. From agriculture to pharmaceuticals and from shipbuilding to garments, the country's industrial base is diversifying and its exports increasing. Bangladesh has challenges, but authorities have responded to keep the economy on an even keel.
Government officials' travel abroad is restricted, the taka has been devalued against the US dollar, remittances from abroad are rewarded with cash, and luxury goods are taxed, all of which are helping the country build up its reserves so it can easily meet import demand, reported Bangladesh Live News. In the meantime, the government's policy of raising exports and lowering imports is helping the economy recover. The country's foreign exchange reserves are in a stronger position than those in several other developing countries.
In the early stages of the pandemic, many assumed that remittances would decline as many expatriates lost their jobs. However, due to the success of the government's diplomatic efforts, many Bangladeshis have returned to their workplaces abroad and are sending back money at pre-pandemic rates, reported Bangladesh Live News.

BOSTON (AP) — Smoke from western wildfires is producing hazy conditions throughout New England, as well as the possibility of vibrant sunsets.
The National Weather Service's offices in Boston and Burlington said Saturday that smoke moving eastward could make the sky appear “milky” or hazy throughout much of New England.
Lingering in the air, smoke particulates could also create conditions for particularly colorful sunsets.
While smoke can worsen air quality, the National Weather Service's Burlington office said the smoke now affecting New England's skies should be too high in the atmosphere to cause problems for anyone on the ground.
Firefighters in California and several other western states are currently battling several wildfires during what has been an unusually dry and hot summer in the region. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Western-wildfire-smoke-leads-to-hazy-skies-in-New-17432622.php | 2022-09-10T18:42:35 | en | 0.963855 |

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers left the field after taking a hard fall on his left shoulder at the end of the first quarter against No. 1 Alabama.
Ewers was 9 of 12 passing for 134 yards and completed a 46-yard throw to Xavier Worthy that set up a touchdown that tied the game at 10-10.
Ewers scrambled and was hit by Alabama's Dallas Turner, who landed on Ewers and was given a personal foul.
Ewers laid on the field for several moments before walking off and going straight into the medical tent. He emerged with a towel over his head and went to the Texas locker room at the start of the second quarter.
Ewers was one of the top recruits in the country when he initially signed with Ohio State out of high school. He transferred to Texas and won the starting job over Hudson Card.

WRAPUP 8-Russian grip on northeast Ukraine collapses after Kyiv severs supply line
The swift fall of Izium in Kharkiv province was Moscow's worst defeat since its troops were forced back from the capital Kyiv in March, and could prove a decisive turning point in the six-month-old war, with thousands of Russian soldiers abandoning ammunition stockpiles and equipment as they fled. The state-run TASS news agency quoted Russia's defence ministry as saying it had ordered troops to leave the vicinity to reinforce operations elsewhere in neighbouring Donetsk.
Moscow abandoned its main bastion in northeastern Ukraine on Saturday, in a sudden collapse of one of the war's principal front lines after surging Ukrainian forces threatened to encircle the area in a shock advance. The swift fall of Izium in Kharkiv province was Moscow's worst defeat since its troops were forced back from the capital Kyiv in March, and could prove a decisive turning point in the six-month-old war, with thousands of Russian soldiers abandoning ammunition stockpiles and equipment as they fled.
The state-run TASS news agency quoted Russia's defence ministry as saying it had ordered troops to leave the vicinity to reinforce operations elsewhere in neighbouring Donetsk. The head of Russia's administration in areas in Kharkiv it controls told all residents to evacuate the province and flee to Russia to "save lives", TASS reported. Witnesses described traffic jams of cars with people departing Russian-held territory.
Ukrainian officials stopped short of confirming they had recaptured Izium, but President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, posted a photo of troops on its outskirts. Earlier, he tweeted an emoji of grapes. The city's name means "raisin". The Russian withdrawal announcement came hours after Ukrainian troops captured the city of Kupiansk farther north, the sole railway hub supplying Russia's entire frontline across northeastern Ukraine. That left thousands of Russian troops abruptly cut off from supplies across a stretch of front that has seen some of the most intense battles of the war.
There were signs of trouble for Russia elsewhere along its remaining positions at the eastern front, with pro-Russian officials acknowledging difficulties at other locations and Ukrainians hinting at more advances to come. MECHANISED ASSAULT
Days ago, Kyiv's forces burst through the frontline and have since recaptured dozens of towns and villages in a swift mechanised assault, surging forward dozens of kilometres a day. Early on Saturday, Ukrainian officials posted photos of their troops raising the country's blue and yellow flag in front of city hall in Kupiansk, dealing a blow that appeared to prove decisive for Russian garrisons supplied by the city's railways.
"To achieve the stated goals of the Special Military Operation for the liberation of Donbas, it was decided to regroup the Russian troops located in the districts of Balakliia and Izium for the purpose of increasing efforts in the Donetsk direction," TASS quoted Russia's defence ministry as saying. Russian forces had already abandoned Balakliia days ago.
In Hrakove, one of dozens of villages recaptured in the Ukrainian advance, Reuters saw burnt-out vehicles bearing the "Z" symbol of Russia's invasion. Boxes still full of ammunition were scattered with strewn rubbish in positions the Russians had abandoned in evident haste. "Hello everyone, we are from Russia," was spraypainted on a wall. Three bodies lay in white body bags in a yard.
The regional chief of police, Volodymyr Tymoshenko, said Ukrainian police moved in the previous day, and checked the identities of local residents who had lived under Russian occupation since the invasion's second day. "The first function is to provide help that they need. The next job is to document the crimes committed by Russian invaders on the territories which they temporarily occupied."
'RUSSIA IS RETREATING' A witness in Valuyki, a town in Russia's Belgorod region near the border with Ukraine, told Reuters she saw scores of people from Kupiansk, with families eating and sleeping in their cars along roads.
"I was at the market today and saw a lot of people from Kupiansk. They say half of the city was taken by the Ukrainian army and Russia is retreating... the fighting is getting closer," the witness said. Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said officials were giving food and medical aid to people queuing at a crossing into Russia. Senator Andrey Turchak, from the pro-Kremlin United Russia party, reported more than 400 vehicles at the frontier.
Russian rocket fire hit Kharkiv city on Saturday evening, killing at least one person and damaging several homes, part of a surge in shelling since Kyiv's counter-offensive, Ukrainian officials said. Reuters could not confirm the battlefield accounts independently.
The abrupt abandonment of Russia's front line south of Kharkiv city brought a swift and sudden end to a period during which the war had been fought as a relentless grind on a static front, favouring Moscow's advantage in raw firepower. Russian forces had fought hard to capture Izium early in the war, and then used the city as the logistics base for one of their main campaigns - a months-long assault from the north on the adjacent Donbas region.
There were signs that Ukraine could capitalise on the disarray with assaults along other areas of the eastern front. Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-installed separatist administration in Donetsk province, said the situation in Liman, east of Izium, "remains quite difficult - as in a series of settlements in the north of the republic". A bit further east, Ukrainian officials hinted at a possible attempt to recapture Lysychansk, which Moscow seized in July after weeks of fighting in one of the war's bloodiest battles.
Ukrainian regional governor Serhiy Gaidai was quoted in Ukrainian media as saying Ukrainian troops had been spotted on the city's outskirts. The city's name means "fox", and after his tweet of grapes, Yermak tweeted a fox emoji.

Arresting all proclaimed offenders, says Patna SSP after son of ex-RJD MLC nabbed

Senior Superintendent of Police of Bihar's Patna, Manavjit Singh, on Saturday said that the police are arresting all proclaimed offenders as the local body elections are approaching. According to the official, the police had gone to arrest one such person when they met with hostility.
"As local body elections approach, we're arresting all proclaimed offenders. We went to arrest one such and was met with hostility by Afshar Ahmed (Ward Councillor and son of ex-RJD MLC Anwar Ahmed)," he said. "Police was calm and patient. Two who resisted the arrest of the accused and misbehaved with DSP on duty including Afshar Ahmed and Mohd Sarfaraz were arrested. Two FIRs have been registered. They were sent to judicial custody today," said Singh.
This comes after former Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLC Anwar Ahmed's son Afshar Ahmed was arrested for allegedly misbehaving with the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and others inside a police station in Patna on Friday. Earlier, according to Police, Afshar Ahmed misbehaved with DSP Ashok Singh at Pirbahore police station in Patna.

He misbehaved with us and abused me. We told him that we will free the person only if he was found innocent in our probe. He and others started a ruckus and misbehaved with us. I told them to leave but he verbally abused me and said that he will come back with 5,000 people and give it a different angle. He has been arrested," said Ashok Singh, DSP Town.
Speaking to ANI, Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna Manavjeet Singh Dhillon said, "The ward councillor has been arrested for obstructing government work, misbehaviour with on-duty police and the uproar in the police station. All the CCTV footage is being scanned. No one will be spared." (ANI)

LONDON (AP) — Two days after his mother's death elevated him to the throne, King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch Saturday in a pomp-filled ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live on television and online.
Charles, who spent seven decades as heir apparent, automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died Thursday. But the accession ceremony was a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country, a relic of a time before mass communications.
“I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me,” he said as he took on the duties of monarch.
Hours after the ceremony, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, later joined Prince William and Princess Kate at Windsor Castle to view the sea of floral tributes left by the public in honor of the princes’ grandmother. It was the two couples’ first public appearance since the queen’s death. The princes and their wives were seen shaking hands and speaking with members of the public.
Queen Elizabeth II will lie in state starting Wednesday for four days at the House of Parliament, palace officials said, after her body is brought from Balmoral, first to Edinburgh and then to London. The state funeral will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey.
Organizers described the ceremony as a “a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.’’
The palace made the announcement hours after the first accession ceremony since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.
New Prime Minister Liz Truss and five of her predecessors were among scores of senior current and former British politicians who gathered in the ornate state apartments at St. James’s Palace for the meeting of the Accession Council.
They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king then joined them, vowing to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on the duties of monarch.
“I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered," he said in speaking of his own grief.
The new king formally approved a series of orders, including one declaring the day of his mother's funeral a public holiday.
Charles was accompanied at the ceremony by wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, and eldest son Prince William, who is now heir to the throne and known by the title that Charles long held, Prince of Wales.
In his first statement since his grandmother's death, William said the queen “was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life.”
“I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real,” he said.
Saturday's accession ceremony ended with a royal official publicly proclaiming King Charles III the monarch from a balcony at the palace. In centuries past, this would have been the first official confirmation the public had of their new sovereign.
David White, the Garter King of Arms, made the proclamation flanked by trumpeters in gold-trimmed robes before leading cheers — “hip, hip, hooray!” — for the new king.
Gun salutes rang out in Hyde Park, at the Tower of London and at military sites around the U.K. as he announced the news, and scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.
The proclamation was read at other locations across the U.K., including the medieval City of London.
Two days after the 96-year-old queen died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following an unprecedented 70 years on the throne, people still came by the thousands to pay their respects outside Buckingham Palace in London. The scene was repeated at other royal residences across the U.K. and at British embassies around the world.
For many Britons, her passing, though long expected, is a destabilizing experience. Queen Elizabeth II is the only monarch most have ever known, and her death comes as many Britons are facing an energy crisis, the soaring cost of living, the uncertainties of the war in Ukraine and the fallout from Brexit.
The country has also just seen a change of leader. Truss was appointed by the queen on Tuesday, just two days before the monarch died. On Saturday, Truss and other senior U.K. lawmakers lined up in the House of Commons to take an oath of loyalty to the new king.
Normal parliamentary business has been suspended during a period of mourning for the queen. The House of Commons was holding a rare Saturday session so lawmakers could pay tribute to the late monarch.
Charles struck a note of continuity Friday, vowing in a televised address to carry on the queen’s “lifelong service,” with his own modernizing stamp.
The new monarch looked to both the past — noting his mother’s unwavering “dedication and devotion as sovereign” — and the future, seeking to strike a reassuring note of constancy while signaling that his will be a 21st-century monarchy.
He reflected on how the country had changed dramatically during the queen’s reign into a society “of many cultures and many faiths,” and pledged to serve people in Britain and the 14 other countries where he is king “whatever may be your background or beliefs.”
He also tried to overcome a reputation for aloofness in his first hours as monarch, spending time shaking hands with some of the thousands who came to leave flowers and pay tribute to the queen at the gates of Buckingham Palace. He was greeted with shouts of “Well done, Charlie!” and “God save the king!” One woman gave him a kiss on the cheek.

President Droupadi Murmu to open Mysuru Dasara
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said President Droupadi Murmu has given her consent to open Mysuru Dasara-2022 on September 26.
- Country:
- India
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said President Droupadi Murmu has given her consent to open Mysuru Dasara-2022 on September 26. He told reporters here on Saturday that he had written a letter to the President on September 6 inviting her to open Mysuru Dasara this year, for which the office of the President has confirmed her willingness to participate in it.
Earlier today, CM Bommai highlighted that the drainage system on Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway would be audited to find out where all the UGD needs to be widened, increasing gradient and other bottlenecks. "With this, the capacity of drainage will increase. It has also been decided to reduce the distance of arterial roads which connect to Chennai Express, Mumbai Express and Hyderabad Express and pass through roads in Bengaluru. There is a need to construct flyovers and underpasses at a few places on High-Density corridors on national highways. The places where the skywalks are needed are identified. Most of the projects which were discussed today were of emergency in nature," CM Bommai had said.
He also stressed Union Minister Gadkari's assurances. "The Union Minister has promised to give immediate sanction if the plan is prepared within one and a half months. The endeavour of the government is to start the works from the current year and is working in this direction," he had added.
According to discussions they had, the estimate list must be submitted and finalised then the Union Ministry of National Highways will release grants. Bommai had said the government intends to have authority for all transport facilities exclusively for Bengaluru, and a bill in this regard will be tabled in the next session of the State Legislature."For this, several agencies have to work in coordination. Several works are now pending due to a lack of coordination. A legislation will be brought to have an authority for Bengaluru alone," he had added.
The state chief also noted that the Shiradi Ghat Road will be soon completed and had said, "The Union Minister has promised to complete the Shiradi Ghat Road at the earliest and new national highway proposals will be brought under the Central Road Fund." Bommai had said arrangements are going on for Janaspandana and it will be held at 11 am on Saturday. Union Minister Smriti Irani has also confirmed her participation in this event. (ANI)

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A fiery crash between a tank truck carrying fuel and a passenger bus Saturday has left at least nine people dead in northern Mexico.
Police in the northern border state of Tamaulipas said the collision left both vehicles completely burned. Police photos showed the bus was reduced to a tangle of smoking, charred metal.
The death toll could rise as more charred remains are recovered. The crash occurred before dawn Saturday on a highway that leads to the northern city of Monterrey.
The driver of the fuel truck apparently survived and is under investigation. The bus had apparently set out from the central state of Hidalgo and was headed to Monterrey.
The truck was carrying two fuel tanks in tandem, and such double-container freight trucks have been involved in numerous deadly crashes in the past.
Because weight restrictions and safety inspections in Mexico are lax, there have been calls in the past to ban such extremely heavy and unwieldy trucks. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/fiery-crash-of-bus-fuel-tanker-truck-kills-9-in-mexico/VEMDET3TDRAWVPBOJBG72ELNNQ/ | 2022-09-10T18:43:13 | en | 0.980272 |

Cravings for fatty foods traced to gut-brain connection: Study
A dieter wrestling with cravings for fatty foods might be tempted to blame their tongue
- Country:
- United States
A dieter wrestling with cravings for fatty foods might be tempted to blame their tongue: the delicious taste of butter or ice cream is hard to resist. But new research investigating the source of our appetites has uncovered an entirely new connection between the gut and the brain that drives our desire for fat. At Columbia's Zuckerman Institute, scientists studying mice found that fat entering the intestines triggers a signal. Conducted along nerves to the brain, this signal drives a desire for fatty foods. Published September 7, 2022, in Nature, the new study raises the possibility of interfering with this gut-brain connection to help prevent unhealthy choices and address the growing global health crisis caused by overeating.
"We live in unprecedented times, in which the overconsumption of fats and sugars is causing an epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders," said first author Mengtong Li, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of the Zuckerman Institute's Charles Zuker, PhD, supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. "If we want to control our insatiable desire for fat, science is showing us that the key conduit driving these cravings is a connection between the gut and the brain." This new view of dietary choices and health started with previous work from the Zuker lab on sugar. Researchers found that glucose activates a specific gut-brain circuit that communicates to the brain in the presence of intestinal sugar. Calorie-free artificial sweeteners, in contrast, do not have this effect, likely explaining why diet sodas can leave us feeling unsatisfied.
"Our research is showing that the tongue tells our brain what we like, such as things that taste sweet, salty or fatty," said Dr. Zuker, who is also a professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics and of neuroscience at Columbia's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. "The gut, however, tells our brain what we want, what we need." Dr. Li wanted to explore how mice respond to dietary fats: the lipids and fatty acids that every animal must consume to provide the building blocks of life. She offered mice bottles of water with dissolved fats, including a component of soybean oil, and bottles of water containing sweet substances known to not affect the gut but that are initially attractive. The rodents developed a strong preference, over a couple of days, for the fatty water. They formed this preference even when the scientists genetically modified the mice to remove the animals' ability to taste fat using their tongues.
"Even though the animals could not taste fat, they were nevertheless driven to consume it," said Dr. Zuker. The researchers reasoned that fat must be activating specific brain circuits driving the animals' behavioral response to fat. To search for that circuit, Dr. Li measured brain activity in mice while giving the animals fat. Neurons in one particular region of the brainstem, the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNST), perked up. This was intriguing because the cNST was also implicated in the lab's previous discovery of the neural basis of sugar preference.
Dr. Li then found the communications lines that carried the message to the cNST. Neurons in the vagus nerve, which links the gut to the brain, also twittered with activity when mice had fat in their intestines. Having identified the biological machinery underlying a mouse's preference for fat, Dr. Li next took a close look at the gut itself: specifically the endothelial cells lining the intestines. She found two groups of cells that sent signals to the vagal neurons in response to fat.
"One group of cells functions as a general sensor of essential nutrients, responding not only to fat, but also to sugars and amino acids," said Dr. Li. "The other group responds to only fat, potentially helping the brain distinguish fats from other substances in the gut." Dr. Li then went one important step further by blocking the activity of these cells using a drug. Shutting down signaling from either cell group prevented vagal neurons from responding to fat in the intestines. She then used genetic techniques to deactivate either the vagal neurons themselves or the neurons in the cNST. In both cases, a mouse lost its appetite for fat.
"These interventions verified that each of these biological steps from the gut to the brain is critical for an animal's response to fat," said Dr. Li. "These experiments also provide novel strategies for changing the brain's response to fat and possibly behavior toward food." The stakes are high. Obesity rates have nearly doubled worldwide since 1980. Today, nearly half a billion people suffer from diabetes.
"The overconsumption of cheap, highly processed foods rich in sugar and fat is having a devastating impact on human health, especially among people of low income and in communities of color," said Dr. Zuker. "The better we understand how these foods hijack the biological machinery underlying taste and the gut-brain axis, the more opportunity we will have to intervene." Scott Sternson, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the new research highlighted its potential for improving human health.
"This exciting study offers insight about the molecules and cells that compel animals to desire fat," said Dr. Sternson, whose work focuses on how the brain controls appetite. "The capability of researchers to control this desire may eventually lead to treatments that may help combat obesity by reducing consumption of high-calorie fatty foods." The paper, titled "Gut-Brain Circuits for Fat Preference," was published September 7, 2022, in Nature. Its authors are Mengtong Li, Hwei-Ee Tan, Zhengyuan Lu, Katherine S. Tsang, Ashley J. Chung and Charles S. Zuker.
This research was supported in part by the Russell Berrie Foundation program in the neurobiology of obesity. Charles Zuker is an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. (ANI)

LONDON — Palace officials say the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey in London after the public gets an opportunity to pay their last respects to the monarch.
Elizabeth, the nation’s longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
Details on the 96-year old queen’s funeral will be released later, but organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as a “a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.’’
Palace officials said there would be opportunities to see the late sovereign’s oak coffin as it journeys from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to Edinburgh and again in London, where her body will lie in state for four days starting Wednesday.

OTTAWA, Ontario — King Charles III has been officially announced as Canada’s monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Charles automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday. But like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony Saturday in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.

BALMORAL CASTLE, Scotland — Members of the royal family have stopped to take in a sea of floral tributes left by the public outside the gates of Balmoral Castle in Scotland after attending a prayer service nearby.
Queen Elizabeth II’s three youngest children — Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward — as well as their families greeted a crowd of people who gathered Saturday to line the route outside the castle.
Princess Eugenie, Andrew’s daughter, was seen laying a bunch of flowers, while the rest of the family took time to read the many tributes to the queen.
The tribute came two days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the same day that her eldest son King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch.
___
LONDON — Prime Minister Liz Truss and senior members of her government have taken oaths of loyalty to King Charles III in the House of Commons.
House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle was the first to pledge he will “bear true allegiance to his Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors,” followed by the longest-serving lawmakers and the prime minister.
All lawmakers pledge allegiance to the monarch after they are elected. Making a new vow when the monarch changes is not a legal requirement, but all 650 lawmakers will have a chance to retake the oath in the coming days if they wish.
Normal parliamentary business has been suspended during a period of mourning for the queen. The House of Commons is holding a rare Saturday session so that lawmakers can pay tribute to the late monarch.

TORONTO (AP) — Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity."
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy “Easy Living” to the adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.
She was well under 40 when MGM named her “Hollywood’s Youngest Character Actress.” And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly “the work dried up,” she recalled in 1996.
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
“I’d made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood,” Hunt said in 1996. “In the last 45 years, I’ve made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career.”
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of “The Cocktail Party,” “The Lady’s Not for Burning” and “The Tunnel of Love,” and on Broadway in “The Devil’s Disciple,” "Legend of Sarah″ and “The Paisley Convertible.”
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt's first movie was 1935′s “The Virginia Judge.” She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including “The Accusing Finger” and “Come on Leathernecks,” but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of “sweet young things” and begged for more substantial work.
Hollywood proved a painful education. In “Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity,” she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in “Gone with the Wind,” even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
“That’s the day I grew up,” Hunt said in the documentary. “That’s the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting.”
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of “Gone with the Wind” and had lead or supporting roles in “These Glamour Girls,” “Flight Command” and “The Human Comedy” among other movies.
“MGM was sheer magic,” she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. “When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director’s chair with a sign on it, ‘Miss Hunt.’ Another sign was on my dressing room.
"I said to myself, ‘Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.’ They won my loyalty.”
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
“I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause,” she declared in 1996. “I was a political innocent defending my industry.”
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer’s 1952 family comedy “The Happy Time,” she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including “My Three Sons,” “Matlock,” “All in the Family” and “Murder, She Wrote.”
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out “The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and ’40s and Our World Since Then,” a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants’ homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
“The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles’ Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: “I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy.”

"All the Beauty and the Bloodshed," Laura Poitras's epic documentary about photographer Nan Goldin and her activism against the Sackler family and their art connections has been awarded the Golden Lion for best film at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
Poitras thanked the festival for recognizing that “documentary is cinema” at the ceremony Saturday evening in Venice.
Runner up went to Alice Diop’s “Saint Omer.”
Cate Blanchett and Colin Farrell won the top acting prizes. Blanchett won for her performance as a renowned conductor in Todd Field's "TÁR" and Farrell for playing a man who is broken up with by his longtime friend in Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin."
“I’m shocked to get this and thrilled,” Farrell said in a live video message broadcast at the festival Saturday night. McDonagh was on site to collect the prize before he got one of his own for screenplay.
Luca Guadagnino won the Silver Lion award for best director for the cannibal romance “Bones and All” starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell, who also was recognized for her performance for best young actress.
“I have a speech prepared because I’m nervous,” Russell said. “I’m grateful beyond belief to be standing here. So many of my heroes are in this room.
Russell thanked Guadagnino.
“He’s been a great friend to me and I love him so dearly,” Russell said.
The jury also gave a special jury prize to “No Bears,” by imprisoned Iranian director Jafar Panâhi. The acclaimed director was in July ordered by Iran to serve six-year prison sentence from a decade ago that had never been enforced. The order came as the government seeks to silence criticism amid growing economic turmoil and political pressure.
Julianne Moore led the jury that selected Saturday's winner from a pool of 23 films in competition that included many Oscar hopefuls. The Oscar-winner presided over a jury that included French director Audrey Diwan, whose film "Happening" won the Golden Lion last year, author Kazuo Ishiguro ("Never Let Me Go") and Iranian actor Leila Hatami ("A Separation"). Also on the main jury were Italian director Leonardo Di Costanzo ("The Inner Cage") Argentinian filmmaker Mariano Cohn ("Official Competition") and Rodrigo Sorogoyen ("The Candidate").
Premiering in competition at Venice has launched many successful Oscar campaigns in recent years, leading to nominations and even wins. Seven times in the last nine years the best director Oscar has gone to a film that world premiered at the festival, including Chloé Zhao, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñarritu, twice, Guillermo del Toro and Damien Chazelle. It's also debuted a handful future best picture winners like "Nomadland," "The Shape of Water" and "Birdman."
The festival cemented several films, actors and directors, as strong awards contenders for the season to come. Brendan Fraser moved many to tears for his portrayal of Charlie, a reclusive English teacher who weighs 600 pounds and is attempting to mend things with his estranged, cruel daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink) in Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale."
Aside from awards, it was a Venice for the books, with high glamour from Timothée Chalamet, who stunned in a red backless halter neck from Haider Ackermann, and Florence Pugh, looking the part of a movie star in a sheer tulle off the shoulder Valentino that slyly evoked both classic romanticism and playful modernity, and high drama, mostly around Olivia Wilde's "Don't Worry Darling." The behind-the-scenes intrigue on Wilde's film led to some excessive silliness as the world watched the cast's every move for clues, from where people were seated, to who looked at who during the premiere.
Chris Pine even became an unlikely meme for various shots of him looking zoned out at a press conference. Then came “spit-gate” where onlookers turned into amateur sleuths trying to determine whether or not Harry Styles spit on Pine before the world premiere of the film (he didn’t). As ever, Venice gets people talking.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A sexual assault complaint has been filed against Puerto Rico pop star Ricky Martin, who recently sued his nephew over what he said were false allegations of sexual abuse.
The complaint was filed Friday at a police precinct in the capital of San Juan, police spokesman Edward Ramírez told The Associated Press on Saturday. Information including who filed the complaint and details of the allegations are not public, given the nature of the complaint.
A person who was not authorized to speak about the case confirmed that Martin’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sánchez Martin, filed the complaint. The person said the complaint does not automatically trigger an arrest because the alleged incident is not recent, adding that police will investigate and determine whether charges are warranted.
Sánchez previously requested a restraining order against Martin in July, but a judge later archived the case after Sánchez admitted under oath that he had never been sexually assaulted by the singer.
Flavia Fernández, a spokeswoman for Martin, told the AP that his legal team is evaluating the situation and not issuing public comment for now.
On Thursday, the artist’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against his nephew, whom they described as “troubled.” They accused him of extortion, malicious persecution, abuse of law and damages.
They said Sánchez’s allegations cost Martin at least $10 million worth of canceled contracts and projects, plus another $20 million in damages to his reputation.
The lawsuit states that Sánchez would send up to 10 messages a day to Martin, the majority “meaningless diatribes without any particular purpose.” It also accuses him of publishing Martin’s private number, forcing him to change it.
In addition, the lawsuit said Sánchez falsely claimed he had a romantic relationship with Martin for seven months and that the singer didn’t want it to end and would call Sánchez with frequency.
“Nothing further from the truth,” the lawsuit stated.
Attorneys also noted that a judge previously issued Sánchez two restraining orders in an unrelated stalking case. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/puerto-rico-star-ricky-martin-faces-sexual-assault-complaint/AYJJGN4OUBCMLO7E4JNXC6EF2E/ | 2022-09-10T18:43:39 | en | 0.978468 |

As many as nine employees of the Uttarakhand Excise department including the Excise Inspector were suspended after four people died due to the consumption of alcohol in the Pathri area of Haridwar on Saturday. According to the Chief Minister's Office, the step was taken after the instructions of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami.
"On the instructions of Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, nine employees of Excise Department including the Excise Inspector suspended on the death of four due to consumption of alcohol in the Pathri area of Haridwar. CM said that strict action to be taken against guilty," said the CMO. Earlier, Haridwar Senior Superintendent of Police, Yogendra Singh Rawat said that post-mortem of the deceased will be done to ascertain the cause of death.
"Four deaths took place in Phoolgarh village under Pathri PS limits today. Reports suggest the cause of the death to be the consumption of alcohol. Post mortem will be done to ascertain whether it was due to excess consumption or if something was infused," he said. The official said that the police are probing the people to find the source of the alcohol and informed that no person was hospitalised.
"Interrogation is being done with some people to find the source of the alcohol. Everything is peaceful in the village, I went too to monitor that. No person has been hospitalized," the SSP said. Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar has suspended SHO and three constables after an SIT was constituted under SP Rekha Yadav to investigate the death of four people post consumption of liquor. Along with this, three candidates contesting panchayat elections were also taken into custody.
Further investigation into the matter is underway. (ANI)

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers left the field after taking a hard fall on his left shoulder at the end of the first quarter against No. 1 Alabama.
Ewers was 9 of 12 passing for 134 yards and completed a 46-yard throw to Xavier Worthy that set up a touchdown that tied the game at 10-10.
Ewers scrambled and was hit by Alabama's Dallas Turner, who landed on Ewers and was given a personal foul.
Ewers laid on the field for several moments before walking off and going straight into the medical tent. He emerged with a towel over his head and went to the Texas locker room at the start of the second quarter.
Ewers was one of the top recruits in the country when he initially signed with Ohio State out of high school. He transferred to Texas and won the starting job over Hudson Card.

LONDON (AP) — The death of Queen Elizabeth II set in motion a tightly choreographed series of ceremonial and constitutional steps, as Britain undergoes a period of national mourning and enters the reign of King Charles III.
A long-established 10-day plan, code-named Operation London Bridge, covers arrangements for the queen's final journey to London and state funeral. Here is a look at what will happen in the coming days:
Saturday, Sept. 10
— King Charles III met at St. James's Palace with senior officials known as the Accession Council and was officially proclaimed king. With a trumpet fanfare, an official read the proclamation aloud from a palace balcony. It was also read out in other locations across the U.K.
— At Parliament, new British Prime Minister Liz Truss and senior lawmakers took an oath of allegiance to the new king before holding a day of tributes to the late queen.
__ Prince William and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales, was joined by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to view floral tributes left by the public in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
— Near Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the queen's three younger children — Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward — and their families read some of the hundreds of floral tributes to the queen.
Sunday, Sept. 11
— The queen's oak coffin will be carried from Balmoral Castle in Scotland by six gamekeepers from her estate and driven to Edinburgh, passing through towns and villages so people can pay their respects along the route. It rests overnight at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in the Scottish capital.
— In London, the king hosts a reception for diplomats from the 14 other Commonwealth countries where he is king.
Monday, Sept. 12
— The queen's coffin, accompanied by the king and queen consort, travels to Edinburgh's St. Giles' Cathedral where it will stay for 24 hours so the public can pay their respects. Members of the royal family will hold a vigil by the coffin in the evening.
— King Charles II and Camilla, the Queen Consort, will visit Parliament to receive condolences from the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
— The royal couple then fly to Edinburgh where they attend a service of remembrance for the queen, visit the Scottish Parliament and meet senior officials.
Tuesday Sept. 13
— The queen's coffin is taken by hearse to Edinburgh Airport. It will be flown by the Royal Air Force to London and taken to Buckingham Palace.
— The king and Camilla visit Northern Ireland, where they meet politicians and faith leaders and attend a service of remembrance at St. Anne's Cathedral.
Wednesday, Sept. 14
— The coffin is transported from Buckingham Palace to Parliament on a gun carriage, with the king and other royals walking behind.
— It is placed in Parliament's medieval Westminster Hall, where the archbishop of Canterbury conducts a short service. The queen will then lie in state for four days, until the morning of her funeral. Members of the public will be able to pay their respects and troops will keep a round-the-clock vigil.
Friday, Sept. 16
— The king and queen consort will visit Wales.
Monday, Sept. 19
— The queen's coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to nearby Westminster Abbey for a state funeral that begins at 11 a.m. Leaders and dignitaries from around the world are expected to attend. The funeral marks the end of 10 days of national morning, and the day will be a public holiday across the U.K.

Prime Minister Liz Truss will accompany King Charles on a tour of Britain's four nations to lead days of national mourning for his mother, Queen Elizabeth, her spokesman said on Saturday. Truss, who was appointed prime minister by Elizabeth on Tuesday in her last public act, was one of several senior lawmakers who swore a new oath of allegiance to the new king in a special session in parliament earlier on Saturday following the queen's death.
She was also present, along with six former prime ministers, senior bishops and several politicians, when Charles, 73, was officially proclaimed Britain's new king in a colourful ceremony laden with pageantry and tradition. She later met Charles along with other senior ministers at Buckingham Palace.
"In terms of the prime minister's involvement, she will join the king as he leads the national mourning across the United Kingdom, attending services of reflection in Scotland on Monday afternoon, in Northern Ireland on Tuesday, and Wales on Friday," the spokesman told reporters.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A housing authority police officer used a stun gun that proved ineffective before shooting and killing a man who attacked him as he was investigating a noise complaint early on Labor Day, authorities said.
The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority officer was flagged down near the Riverside Park housing authority apartments in the West Park neighborhood shortly after 12:30 a.m. Monday as he was responding to a call for service for loud music, Cleveland police said.
As he was getting out of his car, Cleveland police said, the suspect then began to “violently assault” him. Police said the officer deployed his stun device but it had no apparent effect, and the officer eventually fired twice, striking the man both times.
Authorities, who released bodycam video Wednesday, said the housing authority officer provided aid until paramedics arrived. The Cuyahoga County medical examiner said 32-year-old Maalik Roquemore of Cleveland was pronounced dead at Fairview Hospital. The housing authority officer was also treated for injuries.
Chief Wayne Drummond of the Cleveland police department said it was unclear whether Roquemore was the person who flagged down the officer.
Cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer reported that court documents indicated that Roquemore had faced mental health problems over the years. His mother, Kimberly Roquemore, told news outlets that her son was schizophrenic and had post traumatic stress disorder and had been able to live alone but had "declined" in the past year.
"It was just a bad mental health day and he was in crisis," she told WKYC-TV. "And it wasn't recognized."
Karrie Howard, chief public safety director, vowed “a full and honest investigation” by Cleveland police. | https://www.journal-news.com/news/ohio/police-probe-shooting-of-man-by-housing-authority-officer/2ULFONGMR5FQDGOO6O4CTUDMQE/ | 2022-09-10T18:44:00 | en | 0.988967 |

Female hummingbirds evolved to look like males to evade aggression
1 in 5 adult female white-necked jacobin hummingbirds look like males. New research shows that this is a rare case of 'deceptive mimicry' within a species
- Country:
- United States
1 in 5 adult female white-necked jacobin hummingbirds look like males. New research shows that this is a rare case of 'deceptive mimicry' within a species: Females with male-like plumage are trying to pass themselves off as males, and as a result receive a benefit in the form of reduced aggression from males. "Why do some female jacobins look like males? It's a mystery made up of multiple pieces," said Jay Falk, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington. "Is there a benefit? Is there a cost? Is it just appearance, or do these females also act like males?"
Now those pieces are falling into place. In research published Sept. 7 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Falk and co-authors at the UW, Cornell University and Columbia University report that adult female white-necked jacobins with male-like plumage are mimicking male appearance -- but not male behavior. In addition, their strength and body size are similar not to males, but to fellow females with muted plumage. The study shows that the 1 in 5 adult females with male-like plumage are engaging in "deceptive mimicry": They are essentially trying to pass themselves off as males, without acting like them. In the process they receive quite a benefit. As Falk and his colleagues reported in a paper published last year in Current Biology, females with male-like plumage suffer less aggression from males compared to females with the more typical muted plumage, and can hang out longer at feeders.
Falk began this research as a graduate student at Cornell University and continued it as a postdoctoral fellow with co-author Alejandro Rico-Guevara, a UW assistant professor of biology and curator of ornithology at the UW's Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture. White-necked jacobins are common in tropical lowlands of the Americas. Males of this species, put simply, are bullies. They defend territories, chase rivals away from food sources, court females and fight. That aggressive behavior relies on an underlying difference in body size and physiology: Male jacobins are larger and are better at combative flight compared to dull-colored females.
An unanswered question from Falk's previous study was whether females with male-plumage also displayed male-like flight power or behavior. At a field site in Panama, he briefly captured male jacobins and females with both types of plumage. He discovered that females -- regardless of plumage -- had essentially identical body and wing sizes, whereas males were slightly larger. Before releasing the birds, Falk also tested their "burst power" -- or muscle capacity during flight -- by seeing how high they could fly while lifting a chain of small, weighted beads. Females of both types of plumage had identical burst power, while males could lift more on average. Using data from radio-tagged birds in the wild, the team also discovered that more males fed in a "territorial" pattern -- spending longer amounts of time at a smaller number of feeding sites. All females, regardless of plumage, showed the opposite pattern: feeding for shorter periods of time at sites across a larger territory.
"Females with male-like plumage don't seem to be behaving any differently than other females," said Falk. "All evidence instead indicates that females that look like males are engaging in deceptive mimicry." Many examples of deceptive mimicry occur between species: a harmless species will mimic the coloration of a noxious species as an anti-predator defense. In the Americas, for example, some non-venomous kingsnake species have evolved colorful banding patterns that resemble venomous species in the same area, such as coral snakes. Research showed that this deceptive mimicry decreased predation of the kingsnakes, which are not venomous. What Falk and his colleagues found in white-necked jacobins appears to be an example of deceptive mimicry within a species.
Scientists have reported females with male-like plumage in other hummingbird species. If so, male mimicry within hummingbird species may be more common than currently known. Next year, Falk will move to the University of Colorado Boulder to study the genetic differences between females with muted and male-like plumage -- and potentially identify how this deception evolved. But differences between the sexes are not the whole story.
"Even when I found average differences in female and male morphology, burst power or behavior, I also found quite a bit of overlap between the sexes," said Falk. "That indicates that sex isn't the only important factor, and that variation among and between individuals plays an important role." Falk and Rico-Guevara are currently studying the role of individual variation in these traits, regardless of sex. (ANI)

Hubble findings may provide insights into formation of Universe
Stars are the machines that sculpt the universe, yet scientists don't fully know how they form. To understand the frenzied 'baby boom' of star birth that occurred early in the universe's history, researchers turned to the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Stars are the machines that sculpt the universe, yet scientists don't fully know how they form. To understand the frenzied 'baby boom' of star birth that occurred early in the universe's history, researchers turned to the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This nearby galaxy has a simpler chemical composition than the Milky Way, making it similar to the galaxies found in the younger universe, when heavier elements were more scarce. This allows it to serve as a proxy for the early universe.
Two separate studies -- the first with the Hubble Space Telescope, and the second with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope -- recently came to the same conclusion. Using different methods, the independent teams found young stars spiraling into the center of a massive star cluster called NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. This river-like motion of gas and stars is an efficient way to fuel star birth, researchers say. The teams' results show that the process of star formation in the Small Magellanic Cloud is similar to that in our own Milky Way. Nature likes spirals -- from the whirlpool of a hurricane, to pinwheel-shaped protoplanetary disks around newborn stars, to the vast realms of spiral galaxies across our universe.
Now astronomers are bemused to find young stars that are spiraling into the center of a massive cluster of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The outer arm of the spiral in this huge, oddly shaped stellar nursery called NGC 346 may be feeding star formation in a river-like motion of gas and stars. This is an efficient way to fuel star birth, researchers say.
The Small Magellanic Cloud has a simpler chemical composition than the Milky Way, making it similar to the galaxies found in the younger universe, when heavier elements were more scarce. Because of this, the stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud burn hotter and so run out of their fuel faster than in our Milky Way. Though a proxy for the early universe, at 200,000 light-years away the Small Magellanic Cloud is also one of our closest galactic neighbors.
Learning how stars form in the Small Magellanic Cloud offers a new twist on how a firestorm of star birth may have occurred early in the universe's history, when it was undergoing a "baby boom" about 2 to 3 billion years after the big bang (the universe is now 13.8 billion years old). The new results find that the process of star formation there is similar to that in our own Milky Way.
Only 150 light-years in diameter, NGC 346 boasts the mass of 50,000 Suns. Its intriguing shape and rapid star formation rate has puzzled astronomers. It took the combined power of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) to unravel the behavior of this mysterious-looking stellar nesting ground. "Stars are the machines that sculpt the universe. We would not have life without stars, and yet we don't fully understand how they form," explained study leader Elena Sabbi of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. "We have several models that make predictions, and some of these predictions are contradictory. We want to determine what is regulating the process of star formation, because these are the laws that we need to also understand what we see in the early universe."
Researchers determined the motion of the stars in NGC 346 in two different ways. Using Hubble, Sabbi and her team measured the changes of the stars' positions over 11 years. The stars in this region are moving at an average velocity of 2,000 miles per hour, which means that in 11 years they move 200 million miles. This is about 2 times the distance between the Sun and the Earth. But this cluster is relatively far away, inside a neighboring galaxy. This means the amount of observed motion is very small and therefore difficult to measure. These extraordinarily precise observations were possible only because of Hubble's exquisite resolution and high sensitivity. Also, Hubble's three-decade-long history of observations provides a baseline for astronomers to follow minute celestial motions over time.
The second team, led by Peter Zeidler of AURA/STScI for the European Space Agency, used the ground-based VLT's Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument to measure radial velocity, which determines whether an object is approaching or receding from an observer. "What was really amazing is that we used two completely different methods with different facilities and basically came to the same conclusion, independent of each other," said Zeidler. "With Hubble, you can see the stars, but with MUSE we can also see the gas motion in the third dimension, and it confirms the theory that everything is spiraling inwards."
But why a spiral? "A spiral is really the good, natural way to feed star formation from the outside toward the center of the cluster," explained Zeidler. "It's the most efficient way that stars and gas fueling more star formation can move towards the center."
Half of the Hubble data for this study of NGC 346 is archival. The first observations were taken 11 years ago. They were recently repeated to trace the motion of the stars over time. Given the telescope's longevity, the Hubble data archive now contains more than 32 years of astronomical data powering unprecedented, long-term studies. "The Hubble archive is really a gold mine," said Sabbi. "There are so many interesting star-forming regions that Hubble has observed over the years. Given that Hubble is performing so well, we can actually repeat these observations. This can really advance our understanding of star formation." (ANI)

C.J. Stroud threw a pair of touchdown passes as Ohio State built a 24-9 lead through one half against Arkansas State on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
With top target Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the sideline because of a hamstring injury, Stroud found Marvin Harrison Jr. for a pair of 42-yard touchdown passes in the first half.
Ohio State started the scoring with a 96-yard touchdown drive that started on the ground and finished through the air.
The Buckeyes came out with two tight ends on the field and picked up 50 yards on the first three plays — including a 41-yard run by TreVeyon Henderson — before going to the air.
C.J. Stroud capped the drive by hitting Harrison on a post pattern. He split the safeties and scored untouched from 42 yards out.
Arkansas State countered with an 11-play, 56-yard drive that resulted in a field goal and was heavily dependent on Ohio State penalties. The Buckeyes kept the drive alive with a personal foul on a punt — Teradja Mitchell was flagged for trying to jump over the punter’s protectors — and later a pass interference flag on Denzel Burke.
Dominic Zvada got the Red Wolves on the board with a 29-yard field goal.
They were quickly down two scores, though, as Ohio State needed just four plays to answer. Stroud’s 45-yard fade pass to Harrison put the Buckeyes deep in ASU territory, and Henderson capped the drive with an 8-yard run up the middle for a touchdown.
Ohio State added a 24-yard field goal by Noah Ruggles before Arkansas State followed that with a pair of Zvada field goals, first from 38 yards and then from 34.
Ohio State got those points back and one more quickly as Stroud connected with Harrison on a deep fade pass for another touchdown that made it 24-9. Miyan Williams got that drive going with a 25-yard run.

Soccer-Neymar strikes again as PSG go top with win over Brest
PSG turned the screw on their opponents and both Messi and Kylian Mbappe squandered clear-cut chances either side of halftime before 17th-placed Brest were awarded a spot kick but Slimani's tame 70th minute effort was kept out by Donnarumma. The Italian goalkeeper was then called into action again and kept his team ahead with a diving save after the ball appeared to be going in at the near post off Slimani's shoulder following a whipped cross from the left.

Paris St Germain forward Neymar scored his eighth Ligue 1 goal of the season as the champions beat Brest 1-0 at Parc des Princes on Saturday to extend their unbeaten start and reclaim top spot in the standings. The result, secured after Gianluigi Donnarumma saved a late Islam Slimani penalty, means Christophe Galtier's side have 19 points from seven games, two more than second-placed RC Lens who led the table after a 1-0 win over Troyes on Friday.
Olympique de Marseille can go level on points with PSG if they beat visitors Lille later on Saturday. Brest came into the contest having conceded a club record 16 goals in their first six games and were carved open in the 30th minute despite a bright start as Neymar fired in from a tight angle after being played through by Lionel Messi.
The visitors were lucky not to be reduced to 10 men minutes earlier as Christophe Herelle was shown a red card for scything down Neymar but a review prompted the referee to reverse his decision as the PSG forward was offside before the tackle.

Stuart Broad equals Glenn McGrath, becomes joint second most successful pacer in Tests
Broad accomplished this landmark during his side's third and final Test against South Africa at The Oval in Kennington
- Country:
- United Kingdom
English pace veteran Stuart Broad on Saturday equalled Australian great Glenn McGrath to become the joint second-highest wicket-taking pacer in the history of Test cricket. Broad accomplished this landmark during his side's third and final Test against South Africa at The Oval in Kennington.
In the match, the bowler took the wickets of Ryan Rickelton (11), Khaya Zondo (23), Keshav Maharaj (18) and Anrich Nortje (7). Broad ended with figures of 4/41 in 12.2 overs with an economy rate of 3.32.
He is now the sixth most-successful bowler in Test cricket history, having taken 563 wickets in 159 Tests at an average of 27.84 and an economy rate of 2.94. His best bowling figures in an innings are 8/15. On the other hand, McGrath has taken 563 wickets in 124 Tests. These wickets have come at an average of 21.64 and an economy rate of 2.49. His best bowling figures are 8/24.
Meanwhile, it is England's James Anderson who is the most successful pacer in the longer format of the game. He has taken 665 wickets in 175 Tests at an average of 26.24 and an economy rate of 2.79. His best bowling figures are 7/42. The most successful bowlers in Test cricket are - Sri Lankan spin great Muttiah Muralitharan (800), late Aussie spin wizard Shane Warne (708), Anderson (665), Indian spin legend Anil Kumble (619) and McGrath (563).
Coming to the match, put to bat first by England, South Africa was bowled out by England for only 118 in 36.2 overs. Only Khaya Zondo (23) and Marco Jansen (30) could score some decent knocks for the visitors. The English pace attack demolished South African batting, with Ollie Robinson taking 5/49 while Broad took 4/41. Anderson got one wicket.
England's innings is currently in progress. (ANI)

Road Safety World Series: Stuart Binny's half-century, Rahul Sharma's spell guides India Legends to win over South Africa
India has made a brilliant start to their Road Safety World Series campaign with this all-round show. South Africa on the other hand has a lot to fix if they want to progress further
- Country:
- India
A fine half-century from Stuart Binny and brilliant spin bowling spells from Rahul Sharma and Pragyan Ojha helped India Legends defeat South Africa Legends by 61 runs in the Road Safety World Series opener on Saturday. India has made a brilliant start to their Road Safety World Series campaign with this all-round show. South Africa on the other hand has a lot to fix if they want to progress further.
Chasing 218, Andrew Puttick and Morne van Wyk put South Africa Legends to a fine start. Spinner Rahul Sharma delivered India a breakthrough, trapping van Wyk lbw for 26 off 24 balls. Soon, Pragyan Ojha also dismissed Puttick for 23 off 24 balls, with Sachin Tendulkar taking the catch. South Africa Legends were 2/58 at this point.
South Africa continued losing wickets to Indian spin, with Ojha trapping Alviro Petersen for just 10 after he was stumped by Naman Ojha. Then, Henry Davids's wicket was taken by Yuvraj. Davids could only score six runs. More than halfway into the match, South Africa was 4/90. Rahul Sharma got his second wicket after dismissing Jacques Rudolph for 16 runs off 14 balls.
Pacer Munaf Patel joined the party, cleaning all-rounder Johan Botha's wickets for just eight runs. South Africa Legends were left struggling at 106/6. Captain Jonty Rhodes tried to keep one end steady. Johan van der Wath and Eddie Leie scored ducks, trapped by Rahul and pacer Irfan Pathan respectively. The score read 124/8 for South Africa in 17.2 overs.
Munaf got his second wicket in the match, dismissing Makhaya Ntini for six. With this, SA was left at 142/9 with an over left to get an unachievable 76 runs. South Africa ended their innings at 156/9, getting fourteen runs in the final over. Captain Jonty ended as top-scorer for his side with 38 off 27 balls. India Legends won the match by 61 runs.
Rahul (3/17) and Pragyan Ojha (2/32) did damage with their spin while Munaf Patel also got two wickets. Irfan and Yuvraj got one wicket each. Electing to bat first, India Legends were off to a good start. Openers Naman Ojha and Sachin Tendulkar played some fine shorts to the delight of nostalgic fans. However, South African pacer Makhaya Ntini ended the 46-run stand in just 5.2 overs by dismissing Tendulkar for just 16 off 15 balls after he was caught by Johan Botha.
Ojha was soon dismissed by Johan van der Wath for 21 off 18 balls, with India Legends 52/2 in 6.1 overs. Then Suresh Raina, who recently retired from all formats of the game became centre stage of fans' attention, scoring runs with ease. Stuart Binny was also firing quick runs from the other end. They put on an enjoyable 64-run stand, which ended with Raina's dismissal for 33 off 22 balls by Eddie Leie. Following this, a struggling Yuvraj Singh also fell cheaply for just 6 off 8 balls, reducing India to 129/4 in 14.3 overs.
This brought hard-hitter Yusuf Pathan to the crease. After his arrival, the scoring rate of India Legends started rising massively, with both batters taking the aerial route. Binny also completed his half-century. By the time 20 overs were completed, India had scored a massive 217/4.
Binny scored a brilliant 82 off 42 balls with five boundaries and six sixes. Yusuf Pathan also brought back his power-hitting avatar to smash 35* off just 15 balls with a boundary and four massive sixes. (ANI)

Motor racing-Leclerc raises Ferrari hopes with Italian GP pole
I think it will be an interesting day tomorrow." Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Russell's seven-time world champion team mate Lewis Hamilton qualified third, fourth and fifth respectively but all have significant penalties. Russell was only sixth on the qualifying timesheets but will move ahead of all but Leclerc.
Charles Leclerc seized pole position for the Italian Formula One Grand Prix and sent Ferrari hopes soaring on Saturday while Mercedes' George Russell joined him on the front row once penalties were applied.
Nine of the 20-driver grid went into qualifying with grid drops hanging over them, in most cases for breaching their engine allowance for strategic reasons at a key moment in the season. "It is a very good surprise today, considering where we come from," said Leclerc, alluding to the Italian team's struggles in qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps last month, as the army of Ferrari fans celebrated a home success.
"We were not expecting to fight for pole here... There's a special motivation for this weekend and it's great that we managed to do a good job today." The pole was the Monegasque's eighth of the season, and first since France in July, and 17th of his career -- as well as the 240th of the team's history -- and it came with Ferrari president John Elkann in attendance.
Leclerc put together a near-perfect lap on his second run in the final top 10 shoot-out, benefiting from an aerodynamic tow behind McLaren's Lando Norris, to take pole with a best time of one minute 20.161 seconds. The last time Leclerc, and Ferrari, started on pole at Monza was in 2019 and he won to stand on top of the podium at the 'Temple of Speed' as a flood of fans with flares and flags filled the pit straight.
Red Bull's runaway championship leader Max Verstappen, 109 points clear of Leclerc with seven races remaining and chasing his fifth win in a row, was second fastest and one and a half tenths off the pace. The Dutch driver will drop back for Sunday's start due to a five-place penalty.
There was some initial confusion about where he might start, with the Dutch driver expecting to drop to seventh. "I think for tomorrow it can be quite strong and also knowing we have to start a bit back," said Verstappen, who has won 10 of 15 races so far.
"All in all, it was a good lap and I enjoyed it. I think it will be an interesting day tomorrow." Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Russell's seven-time world champion team mate Lewis Hamilton qualified third, fourth and fifth respectively but all have significant penalties.
Russell was only sixth on the qualifying timesheets but will move ahead of all but Leclerc. Lando Norris will line up in third place for McLaren after qualifying seventh, with Australian Daniel Ricciardo -- last year's winner in a team one-two -- set to slot into fourth.
AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly, winner in 2020, is behind them with Alpine's Fernando Alonso sixth. Sainz, Hamilton and AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda all have back of the grid penalties and Mercedes said Hamilton would go to 19th.
"It is going to be tough tomorrow because the DRS (drag reduction system) doesn't make a huge difference, it is quite small and there could be a lot of people in a DRS train," said Hamilton. "So it could be quite a frustrating day. Nonetheless, I will try to be positive going into it."
Dutch driver Nyck de Vries will make his F1 race debut in eighth place for Williams, lining up alongside Verstappen -- the first time two Dutch world champions have appeared together on the Formula One grid. De Vries won the Formula E championship in 2021 and is standing in for Thai driver Alex Albon after he was ruled out with appendicitis.
The 27-year-old qualified ahead of Williams' Canadian race regular Nicholas Latifi, who is set to start 10th. Formula One will observe a minute's silence before Sunday's race in honour of Queen Elizabeth, Britain's longest reigning monarch, who died on Thursday aged 96.

SAFF Women's Championship: India thrashes Maldives 9-0, reaches semifinal
Anju Tamang was the star of the show, netting four goals, as Dangmei Grace scored two
- Country:
- India
The Senior Indian Women's Team romped home to a massive 9-0 victory against Maldives in their second match of the SAFF Women's Championship in Nepal at the Dashrath Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal on Saturday. India have moved to 6 points from 2 matches and sealed their place in the semi-final.
Anju Tamang was the star of the show, netting four goals, as Dangmei Grace scored two. Priyanka Devi, Soumya Guguloth, and Kashmina added one each to make it 9-0 in India's favour. The Blue Tigresses earned four corners in the first 10 minutes itself. The Maldives defence found it hard to keep them at bay, and India surged into the lead in the 24th minute. Anju Tamang and Ranjana Chanu worked on a short corner, and the former cut inside and took a shot which dipped into the top corner.
One goal up, the Blue Tigresses pressed forward, and doubled their lead through Priyanka, who smashed home a cross from Ashalata Devi. Anju added a third just seconds before the half-time whistle, when she tapped in a rebound that came off a powerful shot by Ratanbala Devi. Changing over, India picked up where they left off. In the 53rd minute, Dangmei Grace got her name on the scoresheet, when she rounded the goalkeeper and poked it home.
Minutes later, substitute Soumya Guguloth made it 5-0, tapping in a cross by captain Ashalata Devi. India kept on attacking the Maldives third, and the effort saw a flurry of goals in the last 10 minutes of regulation time. Substitute Kashmina Rai got her name on the scoresheet when her long-ranger was spilled over the line by Maldives keeper.
A minute later, the Maldives custodian again spilled a cross from Ranjana Chanu, and Anju Tamang was on hand to complete her hat trick. Dangmei Grace made it 8-0 with a long-ranger, and with two minutes of regulation time left on the clock, Anju completed the rout nodding in a Ranjana cross. India next plays their last group stage match against Bangladesh on September 13. (ANI)

Soccer-Inter's Brozovic grabs late goal to secure 1-0 win over Torino
Croatian midfielder Brozovic managed to steer the ball past Torino keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from inside the area in the 89th minute after a through ball from Nicolo Barella. Inter are now in third place with 12 points from six games, two points behind leaders Napoli who beat Spezia 1-0 on Friday.
A late goal from Marcelo Brozovic gave Inter Milan a 1-0 win at home to Torino in Serie A on Saturday but they also had to thank goalkeeper Samir Handanovic who made several fine saves. Croatian midfielder Brozovic managed to steer the ball past Torino keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic from inside the area in the 89th minute after a through ball from Nicolo Barella.
Inter are now in third place with 12 points from six games, two points behind leaders Napoli who beat Spezia 1-0 on Friday. Inter were without the services of injured forward Romelu Lukaku and struggled to score against a solid Torino defence.
The game was even in the first 20 minutes with Torino creating several chances while Inter were trying to gain momentum for counter-attacks. Nikola Vlasic almost put Torino ahead in the 20th but his shot was saved by Handanovic.
Torino started the second half aggressively with several chances against a passive Inter defence. Handanovic came to the rescue several times with superb saves. Milan Skriniar could have put Inter in front with a header in the 75th, but Milinkovic-Savic managed to keep it out.

So far this year, US benchmark indices are down 12-24 per cent, but India’s Nifty 50 is up one per cent. Can this outperformance sustain? History shows that it may not.
The US is facing unprecedented inflationary pressures taking a toll on the cost of living. Europe is besieged by inflation on one front and an energy crisis on the other, further fuelling the risk of an inflationary spiral. As if this wasn’t enough, both the US and European central banks are on a rate hiking spree in an attempt to drain excess liquidity from the system, but increasing the cost of capital, which reduces the attractiveness of equity as an asset class.
Not to mention the fact that one of the powerful engines of global growth in the last two decades, China, is now mired in problems of its own with the economy slowing due to multiple factors (property bubble, zero-Covid policy, regulatory crackdown on technology companies, etc).
India’s macro fundamentals are undeniably in better shape than most global markets. This has given rise to views in recent times that the Indian economy/markets can be decoupled from rest of the world.
However, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If you have any doubts, just turn to 2007-08 when an entirely US domestic housing bust rattled global economies and markets including India’s. Not to forget the European sovereign debt crisis of 2010-12, which too gave traders, investors and policy-makers in India many a sleepless night.
Highly correlated
Analysed on the basis of change in index values (not adjusted for currency movements), data show that global markets are highly correlated. The Nifty 50’s correlation with the Dow Jones Industrial Average is as high as 0.96 over the last 25 years, and 0.97 over the last 10 years. Similarly, Nifty 50’s correlation with S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite is at 0.94/0.92 over a 25-year period, and 0.98/0.96 over 10 years. Thus, irrespective of time periods and structural changes in economies/markets over the years, the correlation remains strong.
Further, this correlation is also strong across other global markets as well. For example, the correlation of Nifty 50 with Germany’s Dax index is 0.91 in the last 10 years, although the two markets do not necessarily move in tandem. The correlation of the S&P 500 with Dax in the last 10 years is also at 0.94. This underscores the importance of positive global fundamentals and sentiment for good returns to sustain in the long-term, even when domestic fundamentals are good. Sustained decline in a few major markets will most likely pressure domestic markets sooner or later.
Looking at the data granularly, correlations have reduced a bit off and on in the last 25 years. For example, the lowest correlation of Nifty 50 with S&P 500 was 0.69 in the 1997-2002 and 2007-12 time periods. But this is still high and both periods included a couple of years of overlapping bull and bear markets in India and the US.
On a yearly basis, there were a few rare instances when the correlation turned marginally negative as it did between Nifty 50 and S&P 500/Nasdaq in 2010-11 (-0.17). Even then, there were overlapping periods of turmoil in global markets due to the Europe sovereign debt crisis as well as inflation breaking out of the comfort zone in India.
Cautious outlook
If history were to repeat itself, as it often does in markets, investors will be better off if they choose caution over the decoupling theory. India did outperform global indices in1999 and 2007, but bears caught up in the post 2000 and 2008 crises. So, the current outperformance should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Another factor that investors need to guard against is that, even with underlying fundamentals remaining good in India, global investors at some point in time may be forced to book profits in India to make up for losses elsewhere.

Soccer-Neymar strikes again as PSG go top with hard-fought Brest win
Paris St Germain forward Neymar scored his eighth Ligue 1 goal of the campaign as the champions overcame Brest 1-0 in a tough game at Parc des Princes on Saturday to extend their unbeaten start and reclaim top spot in the standings. The result, secured after Gianluigi Donnarumma saved a late Islam Slimani penalty, means Christophe Galtier's side have 19 points from seven matches, two more than second-placed RC Lens who led the table after a 1-0 home win over Troyes on Friday.
Paris St Germain forward Neymar scored his eighth Ligue 1 goal of the campaign as the champions overcame Brest 1-0 in a tough game at Parc des Princes on Saturday to extend their unbeaten start and reclaim top spot in the standings.
The result, secured after Gianluigi Donnarumma saved a late Islam Slimani penalty, means Christophe Galtier's side have 19 points from seven matches, two more than second-placed RC Lens who led the table after a 1-0 home win over Troyes on Friday. Olympique de Marseille can go level on points with PSG if they beat visitors Lille later on Saturday.
Brest came into the contest having conceded a club record 16 goals in their first six games and were carved open after half an hour despite a bright start as Neymar fired in from a tight angle after being played through by Lionel Messi. The visitors were lucky not to be reduced to 10 men minutes earlier as Christophe Herelle was shown a red card for scything down Neymar but a review prompted the referee to reverse his decision as the PSG forward was offside before the tackle.
The hosts turned the screw on their opponents and both Messi and Kylian Mbappe squandered clear opportunities either side of halftime before 17th-placed Brest were awarded a spot kick but Slimani's tame 70th minute effort was kept out by Donnarumma. "It was very difficult. It was important to win after the Champions League and we did that," Donnarumma said, referring to last week's 2-1 win over Juventus.
"We're also happy for our fans who are always there for us and we wanted to win for them. It's really important to be able to suffer together and we saw that today." Presnel Kimpembe, whose challenge on Noah Fadiga led to the penalty, went off injured late on to leave PSG with 10 men after they had used up their substitutes but experienced defenders Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos helped them see out the match.
Donnarumma was instrumental in ensuring the home side got the win as he was called into action again with a diving save after the ball appeared to be going in at the near post off Slimani's shoulder following a whipped cross from the left. "It was a game with two completely different halves," said Galtier. "A first half in which we created a lot of chances and deservedly scored the opener.
"We could have and should have scored more but didn't and that's why I decided to stay with the attacking trio, to cause problems and have a big lead at halftime and be able to have better game management. "It wasn't the case and it was much tougher in the second half ... we made technical mistakes up front, in midfield and at the back. That gave Brest a lot of hope ... when the opponents are only one goal behind in Paris, they're going to believe."
The victory extended PSG's winning run against Brest to 12 games but it was far from comfortable and they will aim to iron out issues in attack before Wednesday's Champions League game at Maccabi Haifa and next Sunday's trip to Olympique Lyonnais.

Cricket-England creep in front after skittling South Africa out for 118
But after winning the toss and bowling South Africa out cheaply, England also struggled with the bat and had only a narrow advantage at the close. Ben Foakes was not out on 11 and Robinson was on three when the umpires brought play to a halt due to bad light, after South African left-arm paceman Marco Jansen almost matched Robinson with the ball, taking four wickets for 34 runs.
On a day of tumbling wickets, seamer Ollie Robinson took five for 49 as England skittled South Africa out for 118 on the third day of the third test at The Oval on Saturday, before grinding their way to 154 for seven in reply, a lead of 36 runs.
England had been looking to seize control of what has become a three-day test after the first day was washed out by rain and the second cancelled as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth. But after winning the toss and bowling South Africa out cheaply, England also struggled with the bat and had only a narrow advantage at the close.
Ben Foakes was not out on 11 and Robinson was on three when the umpires brought play to a halt due to bad light, after South African left-arm paceman Marco Jansen almost matched Robinson with the ball, taking four wickets for 34 runs. The day had begun in a reflective mood as, after a rendition of "God Save The King", being sung for the first time at a sporting event since the queen's death, there was a long round of applause as images of her were shown on screens around the ground.
A fired-up England did not take long to get to work. Robinson clean-bowled South Africa captain Dean Elgar (1) in his first over with a delivery that nipped back in on the left-hander and clattered into the stumps. James Anderson then had opener Sarel Erwee out for a duck before Keegan Petersen (12) failed to offer a shot and lost his off-stump to Robinson in an error of judgement.
Excluding Elgar, South Africa’s top seven batsmen have only played 38 tests between them and in the face of an examination by the swinging Duke ball, the sense of panic was palpable. Ryan Rickelton (11) played down the wrong line trying to defend a Stuart Broad delivery and was caught by Foakes, who also gobbled up an edge from Kyle Verreynne (0) off the bowling of Robinson.
The same pair combined to remove Wiaan Mulder (3), before Khaya Zondo (23) and innings top-scorer Jansen (30) offered a little resistance. But England's seamers were relentless and kept taking wickets, with Stuart Broad recording figures of 4-41 as he removed the tail halfway through the second session of the day.
Jansen then got to work with the ball, removing the middle stump of England opener Alex Lees (13) in the fourth over and trapping Zak Crawley (5) leg before wicket in the 10th. Joe Root added 23 runs to the score before becoming Jansen's third victim, edging the ball to Petersen at third slip.
Harry Brook (12) then came in for his England debut to support Ollie Pope at the other end, but soon skied a short ball from Jansen into the hands of Kagiso Rabada. Captain Ben Stokes was out for a disappointing six, edging a simple catch to Sarel Erwee in the slips off a ball from Anrich Nortje, before Pope - who had calmly accumulated England's highest score of 67 - feathered a simple catch off Rabada to wicketkeeper Verreynne.
Rabada then claimed the scalp of Broad (6) who swished another easy catch to Verreynne, leaving England ahead - but not by nearly as much as they would have hoped for earlier in the day. To the disappointment of the crowd, the umpires then took the players off as the light began to fade.
The series is poised at 1-1 following the first two tests, both of which ended inside three days.

Motor racing-Brazilian Drugovich wins Formula Two title
Junquiera did not race in Formula One and Drugovich, in his third year in what is seen as a generally weak F2 field, has attracted little interest from grand prix teams -- many of whom also have their own young driver programmes. "There are a few places still available in F1, obviously it's very difficult to get that main seat," he said.

Brazilian Felipe Drugovich won the Formula Two championship at Italy's Monza circuit on Saturday but his chances of moving up to Formula One next season remain remote. The 22-year-old MP Motorsport driver clinched the title mathematically with three races to spare, despite retiring from the sprint race won by Estonian Juri Vips and having to watch from the pit wall.
There is no Brazilian driver in Formula One and Drugovich is the first to win the sport's main feeder series since Bruno Junquiera was F3000 champion in 2000. Junquiera did not race in Formula One and Drugovich, in his third year in what is seen as a generally weak F2 field, has attracted little interest from grand prix teams -- many of whom also have their own young driver programmes.
"There are a few places still available in F1, obviously it's very difficult to get that main seat," he said. "We're trying, but if not we'll try to get a reserve seat."

Police arrest landlord accused of running over tenant, killing him
PAHRUMP, Nev. (Gray News/KVVU) - A man is charged with open murder after police said he allegedly ran over his tenant with his vehicle and dragged his body down the road.
The Nye County Sheriff’s Office reported that 70-year-old William Stanley was arrested in the death of 66-year-old Frank Brink after Brink’s body was found on the side of the road on Sept. 6.
Deputies who responded to the report of a body found said there was evidence the body had been dragged to the location where it was discovered, according to Captain Davide Boruchowitz with the Nye County Sheriff’s Office.
Boruchowitz said deputies then followed a trail of blood and clothing to an address nearby where it appeared the dragging had begun.
The sheriff’s office identified the owner of the property as Stanley and said he was Brink’s landlord.
Upon further investigation, Boruchowitz reported deputies discovered the incident began with an argument between Stanley and Brink. A declaration of probable cause and detention obtained by KVVU reported Stanley admitted to running Brink over with his vehicle, killing him.
Stanley then reportedly used a rope to tie Brink’s leg to the back of the vehicle before dragging his body to the spot where it was later found, according to the declaration.
Boruchowitz said deputies found sufficient evidence during an executed search warrant to arrest Stanley.
Stanley was charged with open murder and was booked into the Nye County Detention Center without bail.

(NerdWallet) – Bringing a child into your family is a big decision, emotionally and financially. The process can be long and cost anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $50,000. Here’s a breakdown of the different ways you can grow your family through adoption — and how much you could expect to spend.
How much does adoption cost?
The cost of adoption depends on the type of adoption you pursue. As you consider how you might want to move forward, keep in mind there are several ways to pay for adoption, from fundraisers and grants to personal loans.
Public agency adoption
How it works: Adopting children through the public welfare system often means beginning as a foster parent. Each state has its own agency, which oversees licensing, education, placement and support for adoptive families.
What it costs: Adoption from foster care is a low-cost option for parents. Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the Children’s Bureau under the federal Office of the Administration for Children and Families, characterizes foster care adoption as “virtually free of cost.” The majority of foster adoptions cost less than $1,000, according to the most recent Adoptive Families magazine adoption cost survey conducted in 2016-17.
This path to adoption is inexpensive because of state and federal adoption assistance programs put in place to make it more accessible and appealing to adopt children who are in foster care. These children are often older and may have experienced trauma or have special needs.
Helpful resource: The Children’s Bureau offers a state-by-state guide to adoption assistance.
Private adoption
How it works: Parents can work with an adoption agency or attorney to find and adopt children in the U.S. Generally, the process of adopting a child is similar whether you work through a private agency or independently with the help of an attorney. It involves a home study, placement, counseling, training and legal documentation.
What it costs: The cost of a private adoption varies. Working with an agency, you can expect to spend between $30,000 and $60,000, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway. It’s slightly less expensive to pursue an independent adoption, which involves working with an attorney. That process ranges in cost from $25,000 to $45,000. Private adoptions are more likely to involve newborns. That means in addition to paying for the adoption process, you would also cover the birth mother’s medical and other expenses.
Intercountry adoption
How it works: This path involves working with private or public adoption agencies in countries outside the United States. The process and fees vary by country and depend on the organization you work with, which could be a government office, agency, orphanage, nonprofit or an individual like an attorney. Some aspects of the process are unique. You’ll have to work through the immigration process, including applying for passports and travel visas, and navigate foreign legal systems. The road can be long. Child Welfare Information Gateway estimates intercountry adoption can take one to five years to complete.
What it costs: On average, intercountry adoption costs $20,000 to $50,000.
Expenses that may arise when adopting a child
Home study
A home study marks the beginning of the adoption process.
During a home study, prospective parents — and their family members — are checked out to make sure they would provide a safe and loving place for a child. A home study requires you to produce documents, including financial statements, employment records and a letter from your doctor about your latest physical. You’d also undergo background checks and interviews. This evaluation phase can cost from $2,000 to $4,000, according to The Gladney Center for Adoption, an adoption agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. That price may be adjusted based on your family’s income.
This step in the process also includes education and training. Some of it may be provided by the state agency that administers the home study at a cost ranging from $300 to $600. Additional hours of training are likely required and would be done on your own through books or online courses, which can cost $100 to $200 per person.
Lastly, during the home study, you’ll agree to a post-placement reporting phase. In the United States, a social worker visits the family multiple times over a six-month period after the child has been placed in the home. Fees for post-placement reporting can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
Search fees
When working with a private agency or an attorney, a major expense in the process goes to searching for and getting matched with a birth mother. Fees for a consultant and advertising may be rolled into an adoption agency’s overall fee. But if you’re pursuing an independent adoption, you’ll likely pay for these services separately and costs can range more widely, depending on how and where you want to advertise. The Gladney Center estimates consulting and advertising can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an independent adoption.
Birth mother expenses
People adopting a newborn will be responsible for paying the birth mother’s expenses. This can include medical bills and some living expenses, as well as counseling, legal fees and travel. The Gladney Center estimates these expenses can cost between $6,000 and $8,000 for parents pursuing a private adoption.
Legal fees
There are a lot of legal requirements in adoption, including terminating the rights of the birth parents, court filings, negotiating birth mother expenses and finalizing the adoption after the post-placement reporting period. An adoption agency may roll some of these expenses into its overall fee.
If you’re pursuing an independent adoption, legal fees will be the bulk of your expenses, costing between $7,000 and $15,000.
Travel
Travel costs can crop up for domestic adoptions, though they’re most significant in intercountry adoptions. Distance is a key factor in how much you’ll pay for travel. Another is time. You might be waiting days or weeks for the final legal approval to bring a child home, especially when crossing state lines or country borders.
For private domestic adoptions, you could pay up to $3,000 in travel expenses, according to the Gladney Center. (You could look at getting a travel credit card to offset some of those expenses.)
Estimates vary for intercountry adoption-related travel. The cost can depend on the country where the child is living and the organization you’re working with. In a cost estimate on its website, New Beginnings — an international adoption agency based in New York — says the adoption of a child in South Korea could include $6,000 to $9,000 in travel expenses. The Child Welfare Information Gateway advised in a September 2020 intercountry adoption guide that adoptive parents are often required to be in the child’s country to finalize the adoption. It may require multiple, extended visits.
Raising a child
Adoption in itself can be a long and expensive process, but that’s only a precursor to the full cost of raising a child. New parents should budget for those expenses, which can top $21,000 in the first year alone. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/how-much-does-it-cost-to-adopt-a-child/ | 2022-09-10T18:47:37 | en | 0.952885 |

(NEXSTAR) — How clean are the air and water in your state?
Using 2021 data, U.S. News and World Reports’ feature on the “Best States” has ranked U.S. states on several metrics, including economics, education and health care. The listing also measures natural environment, which is based on a state’s air/water quality and pollution levels.
Pollution was determined based on air and water emissions from industry and utilities, and overall measures to long-term human health effects, using information from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Below are the most polluted (no. 50-40) and least polluted (no. 10-1) in U.S. News’ Pollution Rankings.
States with the worst pollution
50. Louisiana
49. Nevada
48. Indiana
47. Delaware
46. Utah
45. Ohio
44. Oregon
43. Tennessee
42. Illinois
41. Alabama
40. Texas
Louisiana ranks dead last, coming in as the most-polluted state in the U.S., according to EPA information.
A January 2022 study by Tulane University found very high incidences of cancer in Louisiana, the second-highest in the U.S. At least 85 cancer cases per year in the state were due to exposure to high levels of air pollution, the study found. Authors included data for neighborhoods in an area between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which is locally known as “Cancer Alley.”
The state of Nevada ranks as the second-most polluted state, according to EPA information. Just last year, Nevada ranked among the “unhealthiest” states for air quality in the American Lung Association’s State of the Air report.
At that time, Melissa Ramos, manager of the Nevada ALA’s Clean Air Advocacy, said the Classic Car loophole was partly to blame for the state’s high emissions. Under the state’s Classic Vehicle Insurance policies, vehicles bearing certain license plates are exempt from emissions testing. Some tightening of the laws on classic vehicles is coming Jan. 1, 2023, however.
The least polluted states
10. Idaho
9. Colorado
8. Maine
7. Rhode Island
6. California
5. Wyoming
4. New Mexico
3. South Dakota
2. New Hampshire
1. Vermont
The state of Vermont is aware of its relatively good bill of health.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources writes that “Vermont’s air quality is considered to be among the best in the nation.” The agency notes, however, that Vermont’s air is not pollutant-free.
Interesting: Even though California ranks sixth among the least polluted states, many of its cities rank among America’s most polluted. Research from the American Lung Association ranked cities by ozone pollution, year-round particle pollution, and short-term particle pollution. California areas that ranked in the ALA’s top 10 most polluted cities in all three pollution categories include Los Angeles-Long Beach, Bakersfield, Fresno-Madera-Hanford, and Sacramento-Roseville.
Pollutants
Six common air pollutants identified and regulated by the EPA are carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also called “particulate matter”), and sulfur oxides. Other air pollutants include asbestos, fuel oils and kerosene, and benzene. | https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/the-10-most-polluted-states-in-the-us/ | 2022-09-10T18:47:43 | en | 0.937293 |

9/11 survivor recounts escaping from 81st floor of World Trade Center: 'Don't look, just run'
Twenty-one years after the 9/11 terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 people, one man who witnessed the atrocity firsthand and survived recounted to Fox News Digital his story of going to work on the World Trade Center’s 81st floor on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
David Paventi was working for a large bank based out of Charlotte, North Carolina. As he sat in a meeting on the 81st floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower 21 years ago in a room with no windows, he felt the room shake, causing everyone in the room to look at each other.
"At first I thought it was an earthquake because the building shifted one way and then back the other, and then it started to shake," Paventi told Fox News Digital. "I started to go under the table because I didn’t want the light to fall on me, but everyone rapidly started exiting the room."
Paventi says the next thing he remembers is someone yelling, "A plane hit the building!" as people headed for the stairs.

"In the stairwell, there were not a lot of people coming from upstairs," Paventi said. "Tells you what was going on a few flights up."
When Paventi got down to the 70th floor, he says that the narrow stairwell was backed up, and he remembers that not many people were talking and that the atmosphere was "eerily quiet."
On his two-way pager that he used to get news and stock updates, Paventi says he learned that a jetliner had hit the tower and soon was informed that a second plane had hit the South Tower in what was believed to be a terrorist attack.

"A couple of times we’d sit there, and we’d look at each other thinking, should we try another stairwell?" Paventi said about the thought process he and his colleague had while waiting to escape the building, knowing an attack was taking place. "But then it would begin moving. So, we ended up staying in the same stairwell."
Paventi continued, "There was one point when everyone got over so the firemen could run up. Here we were all trying to get out and all these guys coming up in full gear, carrying hoses. I couldn’t imagine running up to this fire, running upstairs and knowing you still have 40-50 flights to go."
Paventi says one of the firefighters who stopped to take a break during the climb to the top told him, "I get to do all this for 35,000 a year."

"Him saying that to me," Paventi said. "It stuck with me all these years."
Paventi explained that when he finally got down to the lobby, all the lights were out, the emergency lights had come on and there was water on the floor.
"Looking outside, it looked like a scene from 'Die Hard,'" Paventi said. "Windows were blown out, there was glass everywhere."
Paventi then exited to the courtyard and heard people yelling at him to run.
"Don’t look, just run, they said," Paventi explained. "We started running uptown, and I remember looking up and watched as the first tower just dropped in on itself. My co-worker had just gotten a hold of his wife and the last thing she heard from him was, ‘Holy s--t’, before the phone cut out."
Paventi says he barely avoided the debris cloud from the buildings collapsing after turning a corner but saw plenty of people covered in thick dust in the aftermath of the collapse.
NYC AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER RECALLS HIS EXPERIENCE WORKING ON 9/11: 'COMPLETELY AGHAST'
Paventi and his co-worker decided to get off the island as quickly as possible and decided to walk across the Queensboro Bridge and hitchhike to his co-worker’s brother’s home on Long Island.
As Paventi and his co-worker walked across the bridge, it began to shake violently.
"I look to the skyline, and the other tower just starts to melt down into the skyline," Paventi said. "Literally disappeared. We look at each other and just start running. I remember a fighter jet flying over the bridge and wondering, ‘Is that one of ours, a good plane?'"

Paventi was able to hitchhike to safety and secure a rental car on his way back to North Carolina the next day, but he told Fox News Digital that he received a phone call from the New York Police Department a few years later that he never expected.
"The person said, 'We have your briefcase,'" Paventi recounted. "I was like, 'What are you talking about, I have my briefcase right here next to me.' He says, 'I’m not arguing, we have a case, and it has your name on it.'"
A couple of months later, when Paventi was back in New York City for business, the police department gave him a mangled plastic bag containing his belongings from ground zero.
"It was my travel wallet," Paventi explained. "Inside was my passport, my frequent flyer card, that’s how they knew it was mine. It was burned and covered in dust. In the case there was a note that said, 'D. Paventi assumed DOA.'"
Years later, Paventi visited ground zero and remembers giant fences with big banners that listed the thousands who lost their lives in the terrorist attack.
"That's where my name would be," Paventi says he told his wife, adding that it is "really strange to think about that stuff."
"What if we went to a different stairwell?" Paventi said. "Things would’ve been different." | https://www.fox5dc.com/news/9-11-survivor-recounts-escaping-world-trade-center | 2022-09-10T18:48:20 | en | 0.986193 |

Michelle Obama supports Maryland's Frances Tiafoe in US Open semifinals
NEW YORK - Michelle Obama waved her arms in the air and yelled, "Let’s go, Foe!"
Down on the U.S. Open court below, Hyattsville, Maryland native Frances Tiafoe was pleased to see he had a new fan.
Mrs. Obama had a seat in the front row behind the baseline to watch the American play Friday night in the semifinals in Arthur Ashe Stadium, giving him a thumbs-up and a shoutout when she was shown on the video screens.
"She sees me and she’s actually excited to see me," Tiafoe said.

And to think, he feared he’d made a bad first impression on the former first lady.
Not long after he spotted Mrs. Obama, even before she was shown to fans, Tiafoe remembered hitting a particularly bad shot.
"I think I shanked a return," he said, recalling that he thought "she thinks I’m a bum. Can’t make a return."

Actually, Tiafoe gave her a good show, taking No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz to a fifth set before falling 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3.
That ended the deepest run by an American man in the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick reached the 2006 final, and left Tiafoe one win shy of becoming the first Black man from the U.S. in a major final since MaliVai Washington was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 1996.

After the match, he got to speak with Mrs. Obama and they walked out through the tunnel from the court together. He said goodbye before meeting up with his supporters that again included Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal.

Queen Elizabeth II's funeral set for September 19
LONDON - Palace officials say the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey in London after the public gets an opportunity to pay their last respects to the monarch.
Elizabeth, the nation’s longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at Balmoral castle, her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
A long-established 10-day plan, code-named Operation London Bridge, covers arrangements for the queen's final journey to London and state funeral. Organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as a "a fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.’’

The queen's coffin will depart Balmoral at 10 a.m. British time Sunday (5 a.m. Eastern), September 11, and travel to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, the monarch's official residence in Scotland. It's a 175-mile trip and is expected to take about six hours. The queen will remain there until Monday.
The Royal Family will then join the procession and accompany the coffin to a service at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. That's expected to happen at 9:35 a.m. Eastern on Monday, Sept. 12.
The queen will remain at the cathedral for 24 hours for public view.
Lying in state
On Tuesday, Sept. 13, the queen's coffin will be flown from Edinburgh to London. Princess Anne will accompany the queen.
Wednesday, the coffin will be transported from Buckingham Palace to Parliament on a gun carriage, with the king and other royals walking behind.
The queen will lie in state for four days until the morning of her funeral on Monday, Sept. 19. She will be in medieval Westminster Hall, where the archbishop of Canterbury will conduct a short service upon her arrival.
Members of the public will be able to pay their respects and troops will keep a round-the-clock vigil.

Teen kills 2 suspected home invaders with shotgun in Channelview: HCSO
HOUSTON - Officials say two would-be home invaders in Channelview were killed overnight Saturday and a third remains at large after they were confronted by a teen inside armed with a shotgun.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, three men in masks tried to break into a home in the 16000 block of 1st St. in east Harris County near Channelview First Baptist Church.
The men were armed and inside the home were a 12-year-old boy and two teenage boys, both 17. One of the 17-year-olds, according to investigators, got a shotgun and fired it several times at the invaders.
Two of them were hit and pronounced dead at the scene by responding officers.
Meanwhile, the third took off in a dark-colored, 4-door sedan, and as of this writing remains at large.
No other injuries were reported, but Sheriff Gonzalez said the case would be presented before a grand jury, as an investigation into the incident remains underway. | https://www.fox5dc.com/news/teen-kills-2-suspected-home-invaders-with-shotgun-in-channelview-hcso | 2022-09-10T18:48:44 | en | 0.990379 |

The Virginia Department of Health has announced plans to reopen a regional vaccination center at Military Circle Mall in Norfolk to offer monkeypox and COVID-19 vaccinations.
“We welcome this joint effort by the City of Norfolk, Virginia Beach Health Department and the Norfolk Health Department,” said Norfolk and Portsmouth Acting Health Director Dr. Sulola Adekoya. “We encourage those in need of a monkeypox or COVID-19 vaccination, to take advantage of this free opportunity.”
The state health department closed the vaccination center on July 7 because of “an unexpected funding change.”
Monkeypox vaccines
When the Military Circle center reopens on Monday, monkeypox vaccines will be available Mondays and Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m.
You can register for a monkeypox vaccination by visiting https://vase.vdh.virginia.gov and clicking on monkeypox, then enter your zip code.
Monkeypox, a rare contagious rash illness caused by the monkeypox virus, is milder than smallpox, but some symptoms can be severe. It can spread from animals to people and from person to person.
Today's Top Stories
The community risk for getting monkeypox is considered low at this time, according to a release from the Virginia Department of Health.
Monkeypox is spread by close contact with an infected person, and the highest risk activity right now is sex with multiple or anonymous partners, the press release said. Avoiding these activities greatly reduces your risk of catching or spreading monkeypox, the release stated.
COVID-19 vaccines
COVID-19 vaccinations will be available Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
New bivalent COVID-19 booster shots will be offered. There is no registration required.
To find a COVID-19 vaccine event near you, contact or check the website of your local health department.
To schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment at a pharmacy or other location, visit vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA. Assistance is available in English, Spanish, and more than 100 other languages, the state health department said.
