– Television Host Jason Cameron will renovate Jess Graham's rig and host a virtual reveal during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2022 –
NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Transfix, Inc. ("Transfix"), the Intelligent Freight Platform™, today announced Jess Graham– a Snellville, Georgia-based truck driver and community advocate– as the winner of the second-annual "TransFIX My Rig" makeover contest. Graham will receive a custom truck renovation by Jason Cameron, a television host and licensed contractor who has appeared on over 500 episodes of home renovation programs. These include DIY's "Man Caves," "Desperate Landscapes," "Urban Oasis," "Sledgehammer," and, most recently, CBS' "Secret Celebrity Renovation." The inside of her sleeper berth will be made over to match Graham's personality and fit her on-the-road needs. Transfix will reveal the new look via a livestream event during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, September 11-17, 2022.
"Every day, truck drivers like Jess sacrifice home comforts and time with loved ones to ensure that goods keep moving across the country," said Rachel Meranus, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer of Transfix. "Jess goes above and beyond. She gives back to her community through her advocacy, her ongoing support of her colleagues, and her commitment to bettering the industry. We are honored to have the opportunity to improve Jess's life on the road with this special renovation."
This year, Transfix called on its community partners to nominate drivers who they feel are deserving of a cabin makeover. Jess Graham was nominated by last year's winner, Debbie Desiderato. She was also nominated by Michelle Kitchin, who is a fellow board member of Real Women in Trucking– a Transfix partner– which empowers women through outreach programs, education, advocacy, mentoring, networking, and ongoing support.
"I am overjoyed and honored to have won the TransFIX My Rig contest," said Graham. "When I found out, I was speechless…and that is not like me at all. I love my truck like a proud mom. I've spent so much time working on her and renovating her myself, but haven't had much time lately to make it exactly what I want. This is more than I could have ever asked for! I can't wait to see what Jason and the Transfix team are able to pull off. I already enjoy what I do and this is going to make everything about my job that much better."
"No one deserves this recognition more than Jess," said Desiderato. "When any of us technically-challenged drivers need help, advice, or just someone to talk to, she's always a phone call away and happy to chat. I'm so excited to see her new rig and celebrate alongside the rest of the Transfix team!"
Kitchin added, "Jess is dedicated to improving the lives of all drivers through her involvement with Real Women in Trucking and her work to help organize numerous events for the organization, such as Queen of the Road and Industry Trailblazer."
As part of this year's program, Transfix will also be distributing "Comfort-in-a-Box" kits to all nominees to help create a homelike environment in their trucks. The kits include a robe, air freshener, succulent plant, blanket, and other comforting and decorative items.

A top Clark County, Nevada, official who was the subject of investigative stories by Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German was arrested Wednesday night after his home was searched by police in connection with the journalist’s fatal stabbing.
Clark County Administrator Robert Telles was taken into custody after a special weapons team entered his home, an official who was not authorized to discuss the arrest told The Times.
Telles was wheeled out of his home on a stretcher after suffering an unspecified self-inflicted injury, said the source, who was not able to immediately provide further details to The Times.
“The suspect in the homicide that occurred on Sept. 2, 2022, has been taken into custody,” Las Vegas Metro police tweeted Wednesday night.
Earlier Wednesday, police served the search warrant on Telles’ home. The county official lost a primary election in June after German’s stories exposed allegations of bullying, favoritism and an inappropriate relationship between Telles and a subordinate. Telles had publicly accused German of being a “bully” and running a “smear” campaign against him.
The search came a day after police announced they connected a red or maroon 2007 to 2014 GMC Yukon Denali to the fatal stabbing of German, 69, outside his northwest Las Vegas home. German was found Saturday morning, but investigators said they believe the slaying occurred Friday morning and security footage had tied the SUV to a suspect assailant.
An SUV matching that description was towed from Telles’ driveway Wednesday morning as detectives searched the house. Las Vegas police Tuesday released two images they said were potential leads in the killing. One was an image of an unidentified suspect whose appearance was disguised by a wide straw hat, gloves and orange long-sleeve shirt. The man was seen casing the area. The second was of the Denali, which had chrome handles and a sunroof.
Las Vegas Metro police, following the search warrant initiation, acknowledged it was “currently serving search warrants” in connection with German’s killing. The department would not provide specific addresses. It was unclear if Telles is the single target of the warrants.
In a somewhat confusing series of statements, Las Vegas Metro repeatedly called it an “isolated incident” when pressed about the danger to the public. But they also said, “It appears the suspect was potentially casing the area to commit other crimes before the homicide occurred.”
According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, German was working on a new story about Telles the week he was stabbed to death.
Telles, who remains in office until December, has publicly chastised German, accusing him in one tweet of writing a “lying smear piece” and in another of being a “bully.”
Executive editor Glenn Cook said German hadn’t communicated any concerns over his safety to the paper’s leadership team.
“It’s our hope that they find this person very quickly so that we can get answers to all the questions that we have as his colleagues and friends, as it relates to the work we all do,” he told The Times over the weekend.
German was previously a longtime columnist and reporter for the Las Vegas Sun, where he covered courts, politics, labor, government and organized crime, according to his biography. He joined the Review-Journal in 2010, where his investigative work spanned stories on organized crime, political corruption and government failures.
Cook said German’s “bread and butter” was “breaking big stories,” with many of his investigations leading to significant reforms.

Former President Donald Trump’s longtime ally Steve Bannon surrendered Thursday to face fresh charges that he duped donors who gave money to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bannon’s state-level charges in New York are expected to closely resemble an attempted federal prosecution that ended abruptly, before trial, when Trump pardoned Bannon on his last day in office. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, not state offenses. In Bannon’s case, any double jeopardy argument would likely fall flat because his federal case didn’t involve an acquittal or conviction.
Bannon, 68, arrived at the Manhattan district attorney’s office shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday. He had acknowledged in a statement Tuesday that he would be charged soon.
Bannon said earlier that District Attorney Alvin Bragg “has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election,” accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because Bannon and his radio show are popular among Trump’s Republican supporters.
Bannon said federal prosecutors “did the exact same thing in August 2020 to try to take me out of the election,” referring to his arrest months before Trump’s reelection loss. “This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”
Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James planned a 1 p.m. news conference to announce charges against Bannon.
Breaking News Alerts
In 2020, federal agents pulled Bannon from a luxury yacht off the Connecticut coast and arrested him on charges he pocketed more than $1 million in wall donations. Prosecutors alleged thousands of investors were tricked into thinking all of their donations would go toward the border wall project, although Bannon instead paid a salary to one campaign official and personal expenses for himself.
While the wall Bannon’s group proposed was to be built on the U.S. southern border, more than 1,000 miles from the Big Apple, Manhattan prosecutors have jurisdiction to pursue charges against Bannon because some donors to the effort lived in New York.
Federal prosecutors, in the trial of a former Bannon co-defendant, noted that some residents of the New York City area had donated to the wall-building project. One witness that testified was an official with the charities bureau of the New York attorney general’s office who said that a charity backing the wall project had filed paperwork to accept donations in the state. The attorney general’s office is also involved in Bannon’s state criminal case.
Bannon, who had pleaded not guilty to the federal charges, was dropped from the federal case when Trump pardoned him.
Two other men involved in the “We Build the Wall” project pleaded guilty in April. They had been scheduled to be sentenced this week, but that was recently postponed to December.
A third defendant’s trial ended in a mistrial in June after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict.
In another case not covered by Trump’s pardon, Bannon was convicted in July on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October and faces up to two years in federal prison.

Donations to fund the Veterinary Hope Foundation's specially designed support groups for veterinarians
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of National Suicide Prevention Week, the Veterinary Hope Foundation (VHF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is announcing its partnership with Greenline Pet, a veterinary software company, and Bader Rutter, a full-service advertising agency specializing in the veterinary channel, to bring the first-ever client donation payment system to veterinary clinics. Donations made through the Greenline system will go toward funding the Veterinary Hope Foundation's mission of improving veterinary team mental health by building small communities of support. Donations will help to fund the delivery of six-week professionally facilitated peer support groups that help veterinary professionals better handle the unique stressors of their profession.
"With too many veterinarians reducing their hours or leaving clinical practice altogether, we knew we had to do something to help this profession in dire need of support," said Nick Meurrier, Greenline Pet. "Aligning with the Veterinary Hope Foundation was a natural choice for us as they look to directly support mental wellness in the veterinary community through their peer support groups. All of us at Greenline look forward to seeing the impact this donation system can have in bringing much-needed help to a profession we care deeply about."
Each of Greenline's network of 10,000 veterinary clinics will have the chance to opt into this donation program. Once enrolled, veterinary clinics will offer their clients the opportunity to donate an amount of their choosing to the Veterinary Hope Foundation at checkout. All donations made to the Veterinary Hope Foundation are tax deductible and will be billed as a separate line item. For every dollar donated, 98 cents will directly fund the foundation.
"We're thrilled to have Greenline's support in delivering our mission to bring the veterinary community education and connection programs," said Dr. Blair McConnel, Veterinary Hope Foundation. "With donations made through this program, we will be able to provide many veterinary professionals with specialized training, resources and community to better handle the challenges unique to our profession, including convenience euthanasia, highly emotional client interactions, long hours, high student debt loads and more."
Upon enrollment in the donation program, participating clinics will receive materials to help educate their clients about these tough issues. As the agency of record for the Veterinary Hope Foundation, Bader Rutter was responsible for bringing this launch to life, while also developing a client-facing education campaign to support these veterinary clinics and the foundation as a whole.
"We've worked with veterinarians and their teams for over 20 years. At this point, veterinarians are more than our partners, allies and advisers. They're our friends," said David Jordan, president, Bader Rutter. "We are a founding sponsor of the Veterinary Hope Foundation because we believe we can help to raise awareness of these issues and promote healthy dialogue. Pet owners want to help. They want to participate. With this launch, they'll have an opportunity to do so."

Movie theater operator Cineworld Group LLC has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. as it deals with billions of dollars in debt and lower-than-expected attendance at screenings.
“The pandemic was an incredibly difficult time for our business, with the enforced closure of cinemas and huge disruption to film schedules that has led us to this point," CEO Mooky Greidinger said in a statement.
The company and its subsidiaries have commitments for an approximate $1.94 billion debtor-in-possession financing facility from existing lenders, which will help ensure Cineworld’s operations continue as usual while it undergoes a reorganization.
Last month the British company, which owns Regal Cinemas in the U.S. and operates in 10 countries, said its theaters remained “open for business as usual” as it considered options for relief from its debt load.
Cineworld had built up $4.8 billion in net debt, not including lease liabilities. The company, which has about 28,000 employees, previously said that its admissions levels have recently been below expectations. And with a “limited film slate,” it expects the lower levels to continue until November. That would mean an additional crunch to its finances.
Cineworld anticipates exiting from Chapter 11 during the first quarter of 2023.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Four European countries that border Russia will take regional steps this month to limit people from Russia from entering Europe’s visa-free zone by land because they “are increasingly concerned about the substantial and growing influx of Russian citizens.”
“We believe that this is becoming a serious threat to our public security and to the overall shared Schengen area,” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Thursday. “There are people coming with the aim of undermining the security of our countries.”
Poland and the three Baltic countries -- Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania -- have agreed on a common regional approach with the “political will and firm intention to introduce national temporary measures for Russian citizens holding EU visas.”
Such measures should take effect in each of the four countries by Sept. 19.
“We emphasize that this is not an outright entry ban and commonly agreed legitimate exceptions will remain,” Kallas said, adding exceptions include dissidents, humanitarian cases, family members and holders of residence permits, among others.
“Travel to the European Union is a privilege, not a human right,” Kallas said, adding it was “unacceptable that citizens of the aggressor-state are able to freely travel in the EU, whilst at the same time people in Ukraine are being tortured and murdered.”
In Poland, one of the staunchest supporters of Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion, the government said the goal was to “prevent direct threats to the public order and security.”
Kallas added that most visas issued to Russians were made before Russia invaded Ukraine in February.
While Estonia and Latvia border the Russian mainland, Lithuania and Poland share borders with Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.
At an European Union summit last month, the bloc's 27 members were divided over whether to slap a broad visa ban on Russian citizens, torn between a desire to ramp up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin and concerns about punishing ordinary Russians who may not even support his war on Ukraine.
The EU already tightened visa restrictions on Russian officials and businesspeople in May, but Poland and the Baltic countries have called for a broader ban on tourists. Germany and France are leading a push to tighten visa restrictions on Russians rather than impose an outright ban.
The EU already has banned air travel from Russia after it invaded Ukraine. But Russians can still travel by land to Estonia and apparently are then taking flights to other European destinations.
The four countries are EU members and part of Europe’s travel zone — known as the “Schengen area” — where people and goods move freely between these countries without border checks.

The Global Gift Foundation Gala hosted premiere of two NFT's commissioned by Marina Picasso titled 'Super Nurse' - a tribute to the art of a 14-year-old daughter of a nurse.
'Super Nurse' NFT's sell at Global Gift Foundation Gala for $50,000 each.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --Marina Picasso, granddaughter of the iconic artist Pablo Picasso, recently learned of the work of the charity Nurse Heroes and their efforts to raise awareness of the accelerating global shortage of nurses. Marina explained, "If nothing changes, within three years we'll have a shortage of 2 million nurses in Europe, and 1 million in the United States, it's a similar trend around the world." Nurse Heroes was founded by a group of motivated philanthropists, from Carlyle Global Partners, to help create a future without a shortage of nurses by building awareness of the accelerating shortage and funding scholarships to train the next generation of nurses. Nurse Heroes is inspiring the public to celebrate the nursing profession through a monthly art contest and celebrity concerts.
As the granddaughter of one of the art-world's most influential and accomplished artists, Marina Picasso has experienced first-hand the power of art to inform and inspire the public. Marina revealed, "The Nurse Heroes monthly art contest encourages people of all ages and genders to celebrate the nursing profession through art. I was inspired when I saw the drawing created by the 14-year-old daughter of a nurse as part of the contest titled 'Super-Nurse'. I felt this drawing was a wonderful way to show the appreciation of my family for the nursing profession by creating two NFT's as a tribute to this young artist's work."
Marina Picasso commissioned two NFT's, titled 'Super Nurse', old recently as part of the Global Gift Foundation Gala in Cannes, France, co-hosted by Eva Longoria for $50,000 each. The gala also helped raise awareness of the shortage of nurses and encouraged the public to take every opportunity to thank nurses for their service.
Alex Charlton, Nurse Heroes CEO explained, "In commissioning these wonderful NFT's, Marina stayed true to the original style of the young artist from our contest, down to the detail of the 'Registered Nurse' emblem on Super Nurse's uniform and her strong, determined stature." As Marina Picasso emphasized, "Most people know a nurse or have a family member that has been cared for by a nurse, this was a great opportunity for my family to show our support for the nursing profession."
Alex Charlton, Nurse Heroes CEO explained, "We were impressed by the way the NFT's which Marina commissioned stayed true to the original creative style and inspiration of the young artist from our contest, down to the detail of the 'Registered Nurse' emblem on Super Nurse's uniform and her strong, determined stature." As Marina Picasso emphasized, "Most people know a nurse or have a family member that has been cared for by a nurse, this was a great opportunity for my family to show our support for the nursing profession."
Building on the success of the premiere of the Super Nurse NFT, new special editions created in collaboration with Marina Picasso and benefiting select charities, will be revealed as part of an exhibition in Cannes, France on Tuesday, October 11 of this year.
About Nurse Heroes: Nurse Heroes aims to bring awareness to the accelerating shortage of nurses around the world and inspire the public to celebrate the nursing profession through the arts.
About Global Gift Foundation: The Global Gift Foundation is a philanthropic organization that aims to create a positive impact on the lives of children, women and families who are in need.

“The chemistry is the same, and the recording is the same,” Quavo told Rap Radar of working with his nephew. “We always normally record by ourselves because we’re so crazy on just dropping new shit on each other.”
Added Takeoff, “The chemistry has been there since day one. We easily bounce off.”
Meanwhile, Offset is gearing up to drop his second solo album featuring the Baby Keem-produced single “54321” and “Code” with Moneybagg Yo.

Apple lovers in some Asian countries to pay more for iPhone 14
Updates with analyst comment, shares
SINGAPORE, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Apple Inc AAPL.O on Wednesday kept prices for its latest iPhone stable in the United States, but raised prices in some Asian countries where currencies have dropped against the dollar in the past year.
Buyers of the basic iPhone 14 in Japan - where the yen has slumped 24% since September - will pay 20% more than they did for the iPhone 13 when it was launched a year ago at 99,800 yen ($692.81).
The iPhone 13 currently costs 107,800 yen in Japan. Earlier this year, Apple hiked the price of the model by nearly a fifth to 117,800 yen after the yen weakened.
The dollar's strength is the biggest risk to Apple's earnings, Credit Suisse analysts wrote in a note.
"Demand for Apple remains strong in the U.S. and Europe, while Japan is likely under pressure given recent price increases and limited subsidies," they said.
Shares of Apple were trading slightly lower amid a decline in the broader market.
In China, though, Apple's third-largest market after the United States, the company priced the iPhone 14 at 5,999 yuan ($862.42) - the same as the iPhone 13 launch price - despite a 7% drop in the currency.
Analysts have said Apple should brace for a weakening of demand in China, where the economy has been hurt by a series of COVID-19 lockdowns that have squeezed consumer spending.
Apple's April-June quarterly revenue in Greater China fell 1% after a streak of strong quarters in the region.
The company had previously announced discounts on iPhones in China, where the iPhone 13 is now available at 5,399 yuan.

NEW YORK — Bernard Shaw, CNN’s chief anchor for two decades and a pioneering Black broadcaster best remembered for calmly reporting the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991 as missiles flew around him in Baghdad, has died. He was 82.
He died of pneumonia on Wednesday at a hospital in Washington, according to Tom Johnson, CNN's former chief executive.
Shaw was at CNN for 20 years and was known for remaining cool under pressure. That was a hallmark of his Baghdad coverage when the U.S. led its invasion of Iraq in 1991 to liberate Kuwait, with CNN airing stunning footage of airstrikes and anti-aircraft fire in the capital city.
“In all of the years of preparing to being anchor, one of the things I strove for was to be able to control my emotions in the midst of hell breaking out,” Shaw said in a 2014 interview with NPR. “And I personally feel that I passed my stringent test for that in Baghdad.”
Shaw was a former U.S. Marine who worked as a reporter at CBS and ABC News before taking on the chief anchor role at CNN when the network began in 1980.
He moderated a presidential debate in 1988 and covered protests in China's Tiananmen Square in 1989. But his striking on-the scene work in Baghdad, with correspondents Peter Arnett and John Holliman, was instrumental in putting CNN on the map.
At that time, it was the only cable news network and broadcast outlets at ABC, CBS and NBC dominated television news.
“Bernard Shaw exemplified excellence in his life,” Johnson said. “He will be remembered as a fierce advocate of responsible journalism.”
CNN's current chief executive, Chris Licht, paid tribute to Shaw as a CNN original who made appearances on the network as recently as last year to provide commentary.
Shaw left the business at age 61. He told NPR that despite everything he did in journalism, because of all of the things he missed with his family while working, “I don't think it was worth it.”

Recognition comes ahead of annual celebration
of the 25-Year Club induction ceremony
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle, America's first fast-food hamburger chain and popular retail consumer packaged goods brand, is proud to earn recognition as one of the Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail™ 2022. White Castle is the only restaurant brand among the 20 large employers to make the list, which highlights how employees rank their employers. The list was released yesterday by Great Place to Work.
The Best Workplaces in Retail designation is based on analysis of survey responses from over 72,000 employees from Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies in the retail industry. In that survey, 80% of White Castle's nearly 10,000 employees said White Castle is a great place to work. Only 57% of employees at other U.S. companies say their employer is a great place to work.
The 101-year-old, family-owned business has long been recognized as a leader in the food industry with incredible team member loyalty and engagement scores. More than 1 in 4 of the company's 10,000 team members have worked at White Castle for 10 years or more. And nearly all 450 of White Castle's regional directors, district supervisors, general managers, and operations leadership team members started their careers behind the counter at White Castle.
"Building relationships is key to our longevity and it begins with our dedicated team members," said John Kelley, chief people officer and fourth-generation family member. "We put in hard work to maintain the high-level service Cravers demand, but we do it in a respectful manner that promotes growth and loyalty among our people. This recognition reflects that standard."
The Best Workplaces in Retail list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the companies on the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were considered only if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified organization.
Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.
"These companies have adapted to the challenges of an ever-changing workplace by their commitment to inclusive, high-trust cultures where employees are treated as human beings first and foremost," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. "Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Retail."
Later this month on Sept. 22, White Castle will induct a brand-new class into its 25-Year Club. This year, 45 employees have reached that milestone. In 1946, the company's founder Billy Ingram became the first team member to reach 25 years of service. This year's inductees will bring the total 25-Year Club members to 2,206.
"Whether it's a first anniversary or the 25th, there's always room to celebrate our team members' dedication to making White Castle a world-renown business," Kelley added. "We're entirely devoted to making certain every team member is treated as family."
White Castle, America's first fast-food hamburger chain, has been making hot and tasty Sliders since 1921. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the family-owned business owns and operates more than 350 restaurants as well as a retail division providing its famous fare in freezer aisles of retail stores nationwide. As part of its commitment to offering the highest quality products, White Castle owns and operates its own meat processing plants, bakeries and frozen-food processing plants. White Castle has earned numerous accolades over the years including Time magazine's "Most Influential Burger of All Time" (2014, The Original Slider®) and Thrillist's "Best Plant-Based Fast-Food Burger" (2019, Impossible™ Slider). In 2021, Fast Company named the fast-food pioneer one of the "10 Most Innovative Dining Companies." White Castle, which earned the Great Place to Work® Certification™ in 2021 and 2022, is known for the legendary engagement of its team members, more than 1 in 4 of whom have worked for the business for at least 10 years. White Castle is beloved by its passionate fans ("Cravers"), many of whom compete each year for entry into the Cravers Hall of Fame. The official White Castle app makes it easy for Cravers to sign up for the Craver Nation® loyalty program, access sweet deals and place pickup orders at any time. They can also have their orders delivered using one of White Castle's delivery partners. For more information on White Castle, visit whitecastle.com.

Going forward, if you want some alone time on a flight, Australian airline Qantas might offer it to you — for a price. The “Neighbour Free” seating option is a trial program now running across six domestic routes over a six-week period.
Neighbour Free allows passengers in Economy seating to reserve the seat next to them for a lower price so that no one will be seated there for the entire flight. This feature will cost between $30-$65 in Australian dollars ($20.28 to $33.80 in U.S. dollars).
Of course, not every seat will be available. You also cannot select the Neighbour Free option very far in advance. It will only be offered to passengers on flights that are not fully booked a couple of days before departure.
There’s also no guarantee that the seat will remain empty. However, you will receive a refund if the seat is filled before departure.
Passengers who are eligible to participate will receive an email from the airline 48 hours before their scheduled flight departure with an invitation to reserve Neighbour Free. You will have until one hour before the flight to purchase the seat.
Each invitation will only apply to a particular segment of your flight. So, for example, if you are flying round-trip or have to change plans during your travels, you would have to receive an invitation and purchase the Neighbour Free reservation for each segment.
The Neighbour Free option only allows you to have an empty seat beside you. It cannot be used as a place to store carry-on items or as infant seating. Plus, you can only buy one seat. You won’t receive points or status credits for buying the extra seat, and you can’t use flight credits or a Qantas TravelPass to buy the space.
Currently, passengers can reserve Neighbour Free seats on flights from the Gold Coast to Sydney, Adelaide to Sydney, Darwin to Melbourne, Darwin to Sydney, Perth to Brisbane and Adelaide to Brisbane.
Depending on the success of this program, Qantas will consider rolling it out to other domestic flights later this year.

# Vu (cantate B.1)\n'Jeu sans fins', also referred locally in Sète as Vu was one-time president Vincent Delromandinacouple was composed using his composition for \"Chansones V\" \"Le chanoine et sa Choir\", set to his song cycle Faux Air ou as 'La Messe du Chirurguen'. It would be subsequently scored by Bets. Delmandro with Delormand A few timeless classics: The Mona Lisa. “Citizen Kane.” The 1905 salad.
Now, that last one might come as a surprise, but hear me out. The 1905 salad is a legend in Tampa, Florida, where it first appeared at the Columbia Restaurant.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the restaurant tweaked the recipe from a salad created by waiter Tony Noriega in the 1940s. It’s been a staple on the menu ever since — “1905” refers to the year the Columbia was founded.
So, what’s the big deal, Tampa?
Salad fans will pick up on the highlights easily. Iceberg lettuce, tomato, ham and Swiss cheese? A great start. Green olives and Romano cheese? Now you’re talkin’.
It’s the unique dressing that really makes the salad, though. It seems pretty standard at first, with olive oil, garlic (four cloves!), oregano, lemon and white wine vinegar in the mix. But then you add a couple of hearty glugs of Worcestershire sauce. All right!
The 1905 salad is making a comeback thanks to a TikTok that went viral in July. The post has been viewed 2.1 million times. User @kathyquad123 shared her version of the salad in an undeniably delicious-looking video.
She makes just a couple of minor changes to the original, like adding red onion and using white and red wine vinegars. In any case, the finished result is a colorful, cool, enormous salad that could be a dinner in itself.
@kathyquad123
When she took it to a barbecue, people went crazy, she says at the start of the video.
“There wasn’t one piece left,” she adds.
No wonder folks are talking.
Over at Kitchn, writer Rachel Dolfi tried to recreate the TikTok video step-by-step, homemade croutons and all.
It was a success! Dolfi writes that she loved the 1905 salad, calling it “an explosion of texture.”
“Although it’s a bit of work upfront, it feeds a huge amount of people and keeps longer than most dressed salads,” she said in her recipe review. ”If you like a robust, vinegary salad, you’re going to love the 1905,”
Dolfi shared a couple of tips for folks following in her footsteps, too, such as splitting up the prep into two sessions. (The Orlando Sentinel’s recipe also recommends making the dressing a day or two beforehand.)
I’ve been to Tampa exactly once, but I can’t wait to try this Florida classic for myself!

The 2022 NFL season is about to begin.
BUY NFL TICKETS: STUBHUB, VIVID SEATS, TICKETSMARTER, TICKETMASTER
Who will make it to the Super Bowl this year? Radio personality Chris “Mad Dog” Russo has an idea, and it seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Here’s what he said on First Take:
“You know who’s going to win the NFC? The Dallas Cowboys.”
If Russo made this pick to illicit a reaction, it worked. After that comment, Stephen A. Smith walked off set. Completely out of character, he didn’t even have anything to say back to Russo.
Russo went on:
“The quarterback, the coach, I love the owner. They have a schedule that’s manageable ... they’re going to win the NFC East, they’re going to be in the postseason, they’re due for a little luck.”

The Cowboys went 12-5 last season, making the playoffs but losing to the San Francisco 49ers, 23-17, in the wild-card round. The last time the Cowboys won a postseason game was during the 2018 season.

Bernard Shaw, CNN’s 1st chief anchor, dies at 82
NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Shaw, CNN’s chief anchor for two decades and a pioneering Black broadcaster best remembered for calmly reporting the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991 as missiles flew around him in Baghdad, has died. He was 82.
He died of pneumonia on Wednesday at a hospital in Washington, according to Tom Johnson, CNN’s former chief executive.
Shaw was at CNN for 20 years and known for remaining cool under pressure. That was a hallmark of his Baghdad coverage when the U.S. led its invasion of Iraq in 1991 to liberate Kuwait, with CNN airing stunning footage of airstrikes and anti-aircraft fire in the capital city.
“In all of the years of preparing to being anchor, one of the things I strove for was to be able to control my emotions in the midst of hell breaking out,” Shaw said in a 2014 interview with NPR. “And I personally feel that I passed my stringent test for that in Baghdad.”
Shaw was a former U.S. Marine who worked as a reporter at CBS and ABC News before taking on the chief anchor role at CNN when the network began in 1980.
He moderated a presidential debate in 1988 and covered protests in China’s Tiananmen Square in 1989. But his striking on-the scene work in Baghdad, with correspondents Peter Arnett and John Holliman, was instrumental in putting CNN on the map.
At that time, it was the only cable news network and broadcast outlets at ABC, CBS and NBC dominated television news.
“Bernard Shaw exemplified excellence in his life,” Johnson said. “He will be remembered as a fierce advocate of responsible journalism.”
CNN’s current chief executive, Chris Licht, paid tribute to Shaw as a CNN original who made appearances on the network as recently as last year to provide commentary.
Shaw left the business at age 61. He told NPR that despite everything he did in journalism, because of all of the things he missed with his family while working, “I don’t think it was worth it.”

The Union Cabinet on September 7 revised its policy on leasing railway land, by lowering the annual rental on leased land and extending the period of leases.
The railway land lease fee has been cut to 1.5 percent of the market value of land per acre from the existing 6 percent. The lease period has been extended from the present five years to 35 years.
The decision is not only expected to bring in more investment in the Indian Railways' infrastructure facilities, including cargo terminals and public utilities but is also expected to expedite the divestment of the government's stake in Container Corporation of India (CONCOR).
But how will the new land leasing policy help in the divestment of CONCOR?
The new land leasing policy will address the biggest concern the industry had in buying the government's stake in the public sector utility (PSU).
Prem Kishan Gupta the chairman and managing director of Gateway Distriparks had in August said that his company was interested in bidding for the government’s stake in CONCOR till last year but due to a lack of clarity around the government tweaking the railways’ land use policy and the land licensing fee, they were no longer interested.
The government is hoping to attract back private players which to buy its 30.8 percent stake in CONCOR for around Rs 8,000 crore.
Many industry players are expecting the new land leasing policy to not only help reduce CONCOR's land leasing fees but will also provide clarity on the company's inland container depots (ICDs).
"The biggest issue with CONCOR was that it was closing its ICDs to reduce its land payment to the Indian Railways. Some of CONCORs biggest ICDs are located on land owned by the railways. The new policy will help CONCOR continue operations of its ICDs," a senior official at a potential buyer said.
Another official at a company who had expressed interest in the government's stake in CONCOR said that the new land leasing policy will not only help reduce the outgo of CONCOR but will also help the company invest more to expand its existing ICDs.
"With the new land leasing policy, any expansion of CONCOR's ICDS on railway land will also be cost-effective in the future," the second official said.
Last year, Karan Adani, CEO of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone said the company was creating a war chest to acquire CONCOR once there was clarity on the government's land leasing policy.
“Rationalising the railway land lease policy will accelerate investment in the sector and reverse the decades-long modal shift to the road. It will bring in higher quality infrastructure to steadily reduce India’s logistics costs and make our manufacturers more competitive globally,” said Ajit Pai, strategy lead partner, Government and Public Sector, EY India.
Brokerages were also positive that the changes in land leasing policy will benefit CONCOR.
"The new land leasing will help CONCOR save Rs 286.77 crore annually in land licensing if it switches to the new regime," Anand Rathi Equity Research said.
While some brokerages were skeptical about changes to CONCOR's land licensing fee due to the new policy, they said that more clarity on the new policy will help investors come up with a valuation for CONCOR.
Edelweiss, Nomura India, and JM Financial said there is no clarity about the recovery of the investments that the incumbent operator has made in the infrastructure at its existing terminals.
Shares of Concor had risen around 12 percent on September 7 after the government announced changes to land license policy.
In 2021, CONCOR signed a new leasing deal with the Indian Railways for land on which it has built 24 of its 64 ICDs by paying upfront 99 percent of the market value of the land in development.
CONCOR had paid as much as Rs 3,500 crore upfront for the long-term lease of the land parcel and was required to pay only a nominal annual lease fee of about Rs 1,000 a year to the Railways, according to an agreement.
Industry participants were unhappy with the new deal signed by CONCOR in 2021 as it jacked up CONCOR's pay-out on this count to Rs 590 crore in 2020-21 from Rs 140 crore in 2019-20, even after surrendering some 16 terminals built on railway land to reduce its outgo.
A majority of Concor terminals are rail-linked, with rail as the main carrier for haulage. As rail is price-competitive over long distances, the price advantage can be passed on to clients, thus allowing for flexible and competitive pricing.
The rail link also plays a major role in decongesting ports and the road corridors that lead to these ports.

Citroen India launches C5 Aircross facelift, price starts at INR 36.67 lakh
The model is available for retail in company dealerships in 19 major Indian cities. Customers in over 90 cities, including those outside the dealer network, will be covered through the direct online initiative and can order directly from the factory, the company said.
New Delhi: Citroen India on Thursday said it has launched the 2022 C5 Aircross SUV at an introductory price of INR 36,67,000 (ex-showroom Delhi).
The exterior gets a new front-end design, visual signature at the rear, 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The interiors get a new 10-inch touchscreen and center console, gear shifter and drive mode buttons.
The seats get a new black ‘Claudia’ leather and leather-effect fabric. The armrests and the central console are made of a new black leather effect fabric and the dashboard, of a new structured black leather effect insert.
Characteristic of the new Citroen identity is the V-shaped daytime running lights LED signature which is made of a piano keys design giving a hi-tech and deeper-looking 3D effect to the front lights. The LED Vision Headlamps are more discrete and darker, prolonging visually the black grille.
Its boot volume ranges from 580 L to 1630 L. It gets a ground clearance of 230 mm, large 716 mm diameter wheels, 360° protections including air bump and wheel arches, and distinctive roof bars. The new model comes in a new Eclipse Blue body colour. Including this, the range of colours now includes Pearl White, Pearl Nera Black, Cumulus Grey.
The model is available for retail in company dealerships in 19 cities: New Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kochi, Chennai, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, Surat, Nagpur, Vizag, Calicut, and Coimbatore.
Customers in over 90 Indian cities, including those outside the dealer network, will be covered through the direct online initiative and can order directly from the factory, it said.
As a part of its Warranty Programme, the carmaker will offer services like a standard vehicle warranty for 36 months or 100,000 km, from the date of delivery whichever is earlier. This includes a warranty on spare parts & accessories and 24/7 Roadside Assistance for maximum comfort and mobility. Extended warranty and maintenance packages are also available across the network.
The company will also offer the new Future Sure package for C5 Aircross SUV customers allowing customers to own the model with an EMI including Routine Maintenance, Extended Warranty, Roadside Assistance, and on-road financing for up to five years.
Roland Bouchara, CEO & Managing Director, Stellantis India, said, “We are excited to launch the new C5 Aircross SUV in India. It is our flagship SUV in the Citroën portfolio and it embodies all the elements of the Citroën Advanced Comfort programme. C5 Aircross, recognised since its launch as the most comfortable and flexible SUV in its category, has now been given a makeover to assert a more prestigious, modern and dynamic personality. It is becoming more aspirational and will appeal to the Indian customers waiting for a more distinctive character.”
Saurabh Vatsa, Brand Head, Citroën India, said, “While building on its strengths of comfort, on-board spaciousness and modularity, the new C5 Aircross SUV has matured to become more elegant and dynamic with sharper exterior styling and more modern, high-quality colours and materials for the interior. C5 Aircross introduces a new design language at the front, with curves giving way to more structured lines. A new three-dimensional light signature at the rear, a new 18” diamond-cut alloy wheel and a new design of the 10” touchscreen and centre console will certainly appeal to customers in this C-SUV segment.”
Globally, the association continues to expect no change from last year's deliveries, which totalled 71.4 million vehicles - still 9.2 million below the industry's output in 2019 before the pandemic.
"The demand momentum continues to be strong, which is very encouraging and positive for the auto industry as we enter the festive season," Honda Cars India Director Marketing and Sales Yuichi Murata said in a statement.
August acts as a threshold of surge in auto sales compared to the same period during the previous year which was marred by chip shortages. With the better economic scenario, excitement of new product launches and the waning of supply side constraints now, vehicle dispatches in the month grew across segments. With more festivals to come in September and October, the industry is betting on good consumer demand and sales volumes.
With this, for the first time-ever all the three German luxury car companies, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, will have Indian executives holding the top position. Santosh Iyer will be the MD of Mercedes-Benz, Vikram Pawah is the CEO & President and CEO of BMW India, and Balbir Singh Dhillon is the head of Audi India.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank will not flinch in its efforts to curb inflation “until the job is done.”
“We need to act now, forthrightly, strongly as we have been doing,” Powell said Thursday in remarks at the Cato Institute’s monetary policy conference in Washington. “My colleagues and I are strongly committed to this project and will keep at it.” He spoke with a moderator in a virtual question-and-answer session.
U.S. central bankers are raising interest rates rapidly to curb the hottest inflation in four decades. They next meet on Sept. 20-21 and Powell has kept the option open for another 75 basis-point move, following increases of that size in June and July, or a half-point increase. He’s said the decision depends on the “totality” of the incoming data.

Officials will get an important update on Tuesday with the release of consumer prices for August. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast an 8.1 percent rise for the 12-month period versus 8.5 percent in July.
“The Fed has and accepts responsibility for price stability,” he said, noting that history cautions against prematurely loosening policy. That reiterates a warning he issued Aug. 26 at the Fed’s annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Investors have hardened their bets that the Fed would go big again after hawkish comments from other Fed officials. That trend continued after the European Central bank raised rates earlier on Thursday by 75 basis points and futures markets show a Fed hike of that size almost fully priced in for later this month.
The U.S. economy has fared well on the back of steady consumer spending even as higher rates bite down on housing and investment. The labor market remains strong with unemployment at 3.7 percent.
Fed officials are hoping to engineer a rare soft landing where growth moderates and inflation falls with a low cost to employment. But they are also concerned that public expectations on future prices start to drift higher after remaining above their 2 percent target for more than a year.

“It is very important that inflation expectations remain anchored,” Powell said, adding that the “clock is ticking” on ensuring that they stay that way. “The longer that inflation remains well above target the greater the concern that the public will start to just naturally incorporate higher inflation into its economic decision making.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian teen in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian officials said, after the military said he hit a soldier in the face with a hammer.
The military said the soldier was lightly wounded. It provided a photo of the hammer and a knife, which it said was also in the Palestinian’s possession. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death, near the village of Baytin, and identified the teen as Haitham Mubarak, 17. It had no details about the circumstances behind his death.
Rights groups accuse Israeli forces of using excessive force in their dealings with the Palestinians, without being held accountable. The military says they contend with complex, life-threatening scenarios.
The violence was the latest in a string of incidents this week that has seen deadly confrontations between soldiers and Palestinians. Israel has been carrying out nightly arrest raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages since a spate of attacks against Israelis in the spring killed 19 people.
Israeli fire has killed dozens of Palestinians during that time, making it the deadliest year in the occupied territory since 2016.
The Israeli military says the vast majority of those killed were militants or stone-throwers who endangered the soldiers. But several civilians have also been killed during Israel’s monthslong operation, including a veteran journalist and a lawyer who apparently drove unwittingly into a battle zone. Some local youths who took to the streets in response to the invasion of their neighborhoods have also been killed.
Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks that have embedded themselves. The Palestinians say the operations are aimed at maintaining Israel’s 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians seek those territories for a future state.

A farmer from Tiruppur district ended his 10-day hunger strike after the District Collector on Thursday withheld temporarily the licence of a stone quarry near Palladam.
P. Vijayakumar of Ichipatti staged the protest against a quarry that functioned at Kodangipalayam village. A few other organisations and activists had also been demanding closure of illegally operating quarries in Palladam taluk.
Mr. Vijayakumar started his hunger strike from August 30 alleging depletion of groundwater level in his farmland due to the functioning of a blue metal quarry nearby.
Revenue Department sources said District Collector S. Vineeth issued an order, effecting temporary withholding of the licence of Ezhil Blue Metals quarry spread over 3.83 hectares at Kodangipalayam. District Revenue Officer T.P. Jai Beam convened a peace talk and said that the licence of the quarry was withheld temporarily.
With regard to the functioning of S.G. Blue Metals quarry, which is spread over 1.81 hectares at Ottan Thottam, the Collector tasked Palladam tahsildar to submit a report on Saturday, based on which an appropriate decision would be taken, said Revenue Department sources. Like Vijayakuamr, another farmer had launched a hunger strike against the quarry which entered the third day on Thursday.

“I’m looking forward to returning to KARK and Fox 16 as well as all of the other stations throughout the state,” Brock said. “With a full hour each week, both programs will give us even more bandwidth to explore Arkansas politics, policy and business, and I think viewers will be more informed and engaged as a result.”

Unexpectedly, the Cleveland Guardians are in the midst of a very exciting American League Central Division pennant race.
When the season began, the defending American League Central Division Champion Chicago White Sox were favored to win the division once again. Their greatest competition was thought to come from the improved Minnesota Twins.
The Guardians finished last season in second place in the AL Central, 13 games behind the White Sox. The Twins were a distant last, 20 games behind Chicago.
In the early weeks of the season, the Guardians were searching for offensive players that could potentially add more punch, help them score more runs, and add power to their lineup.
But a funny thing happened in the first half of the season. A different brand of baseball emerged on the shores of Lake Erie:
Guardians Turn To Youth:
The Guardians took a page out of baseball history regarding the way they played the game.
They used basic baseball fundamentals; including solid contact hitting, seeing lots of pitches while going deep in counts, putting pressure on the defense with aggressive base running, and playing solid defense as the blueprint for success.
Coming out of spring training, Steven Kwan, (25) won a role as a starting outfielder. Second baseman Andres Gimenez, (24) and shortstop Amed Rosario, (26) blossomed in the middle-infield. They both came to Cleveland in the trade of shortstop Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets. Both Gimenez and Rosario were hitting well and playing outstanding defense as the season progressed.
The youngest team in baseball was having fun... and winning.
Josh Naylor, (25) returned from career-threatening ankle surgery to stake his claim as the regular first baseman. Naylor continued to show he can hit big league pitching.
Kwan smoked the ball to the gaps, dropped hits in front of outfielders, or simply outran throws from infielders to reach first base.
Gimenez and Rosario hit the outfield gaps, used the entire field, and advanced Kwan into scoring position or drove him home.
Naylor flashed a powerful left-handed bat, winning games for his team with timely hitting.
More and more prospects graduated from their minor league development programs and joined the parent club. A new landscape had emerged at Progressive Field.
Oscar Gonzalez, 24, who wasn’t even protected on the offseason 40-man roster, has had success as a big league hitter and defender in right field. His loud bat has produced timely hits. His solid fielding and strong arm have helped his pitchers contain innings.
Left-handed hitting outfielder Will Benson has been promoted and has played in the outfield, while producing offensively when coming off the bench as a pinch hitter.
Prospect Tyler Freeman, 23, has been promoted and has played well in the infield and at designated hitter.
As the season progressed, the Cleveland Guardians were on a roll. By mid-August they had advanced to first place in the division.
Starting Pitcher Injuries:
For more than five months of the season, the Guardians had avoided serious injuries.
Yes, pitcher Aaron Civale spent two separate stints on the Injured List with a wrist strain and then a strained glute. But there weren’t any other serious injuries that cost the team extended playing time.
But then, a September disaster took place. It was clearly more than a hiccup, or a temporary blip on the way to the postseason.
On September 2, Cleveland lost two starting pitchers to injuries.
Civale went on the Injured List for the third time this season. This time it was with forearm inflammation. For this scout, that offers a yellow caution light to any team. With Civale having had a wrist issue and a strained glute earlier in the year, the forearm strain could mean he has been compensating for pain by changing his mechanics. Or, it could mean further issues are in the windshield. He could be facing extended time off the mound while completely resting his arm and not pitching.
Or, he could feel better with rest and return to the rotation sooner than one might expect.
Because it was so unnecessary, the other pitching injury would make any manager steam.
Right-hander Zach Plesac was placed on the Injured List due to a broken finger. He suffered the injury after pounding the mound with his right hand in frustration in a game in Seattle against the Mariners. That happened on August 27, with his team in first place. Plesac pounded the ground after yielding a home run to the Mariners Jake Lamb in the 7th inning. Cleveland won that game, and Plesac got the win.
After the incident on the mound, Plesac experienced swelling in his hand, and an imaging test revealed the fracture.
It was not the first time Plesac’s temperament resulted in an injury that required a trip to the Injured List.
On May 23, 2021, Plesac suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right thumb. In frustration after his outing, he aggressively tore off his uniform in the clubhouse, hitting his thumb on a chair.
Plesac had also missed time away from the Cleveland Indians in August 2020, when he and former Indians pitcher Mike Clevinger broke MLB COVID-19 protocols. They were both placed on the MLB restricted list. Both Plesac and Clevinger were sent back to Cleveland in a car service from where they were playing in Chicago.
The Indians felt the indiscretions so serious, they briefly sent Plesac and Clevinger to the minor leagues.
While Civale’s injury may have been unavoidable and can be described as a hazard of pitching, there can be no good reason or excuse for Plesac to have lost his composure enough to pound the mound in frustration. Especially after his temperament cost him a broken thumb a year earlier.
Young Pitchers Step Up:
The loss of both Civale and Plesac forced the Guardians to turn to inexperienced starters who had not totally completed their minor league development. Both still could have used more innings of work in the team’s development program.
Manager Terry Francona called on two young players from the Columbus Clippers Triple-A team to make emergency starts in Civale and Plesac’s pitching slots.
Right-hander Cody Morris, 25, made his major league debut September 2 against the Seattle Mariners in Cleveland. Morris went 2 innings, yielding 4 hits and 3 runs, with 2 earned. He gave up a home run, walked 2, and struck out 3. He finished his debut with a 9.00 ERA. He was credited with the loss in the 6-1 Mariners victory.
Morris made his second start September 7 against the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City. In that game, the rookie faced legendary Zack Greinke, who is in year 19 of his major league career.
Morris looked very sharp. He went 4 scoreless innings, leaving for reliever Sam Hentges in the bottom of the 5th. Morris yielded 3 hits, walked 1 and struck out 2 in his second emergency start for the Guardians. His ERA was down to 3.00 at the end of the game. Cleveland lost the game.
Right-hander Xzavion Curry, 24, made his big league debut in mid-August against the Detroit Tigers. Curry went 5 innings against the Tigers August 15, yielding 8 hits and 3 earned runs in 5 innings. He walked 1 and struck out 3. Curry took the loss in the game.
Then, with Civale and Plesac on the Injured List, Curry made an emergency start September 3. He lost to the Mariners, going 4.1 innings, and yielding 5 hits and 4 earned runs. He took the loss in the 4-0 Mariners shutout victory.
Curry was optioned back to Columbus on September 4.
As of this writing, replacement pitchers have now made three starts that would have gone to Civale and Plesac.
Down The Stretch They Come:
Now, due to injuries, the Guardians face the prospect of finishing their season potentially having to rely upon starters who aren’t as experienced as Aaron Civale and Zach Plesac.
And, it is likely the bullpen might be called upon to enter games earlier than desired, taxing one of the greatest strengths of the team. The bullpen has been superb, and has kept the Guardians in games or protected leads on a consistent basis.
Cleveland finishes the season with the following schedule:
September 8-Off Day
September 9-10-11 at Minnesota Twins
September 12-13-14- home against Los Angeles Angels
September 15-home against Chicago White Sox (makeup game)
September 16-17-18-19-home against Minnesota Twins
September 20-21-22-23-at Chicago White Sox
September 23-24-25-at Texas Rangers
September 26-Off Day
September 27-28-29- home against Tampa Bay Rays
September 30-October 1-2-3-4-5 home against Kansas City Royals
(September 3, 4, 5 are all rescheduled games)
A good team can cover injuries. The Cleveland Guardians are hoping they have enough pitching depth with starters such as Cody Morris and Xzavion Curry likely making starts in the rotation until the injured Aaron Civale and Zach Plesac return.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II remains under round-the-clock medical supervision at her castle in Balmoral, Scotland, Buckingham Palace said in a statement Thursday.
According to reports, doctors are “concerned for Her Majesty’s health,” and members of the royal family, including the Queen’s son, Prince Charles, his wife Camilla and the Queen’s grandson, Prince William, are on their way to Scotland.
With more than 70 years on the throne, most alive today will have only seen the queen as Britain’s monarch, but who is next in line?
Prince Charles will become king if the queen gives up her throne, retires or dies. Next in line after him is his eldest son, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Prince George is third in line to the throne, after his father and grandfather.
The royals have made a number of changes to succession rules over the years, making it difficult to keep track of whose next in line.
Up until Duchess Kate’s pregnancy, the crown was passed from monarch to eldest son. Since King George VI had no son, his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, became queen.
But the Succession to the Crown Act was created in 2013, before Prince George was born, to make succession to the throne based on birth order, not gender.
Now, Princess Charlotte will be fourth in line to the throne, and Prince Louis will be fifth. William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, is sixth in line, and his son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, will be seventh with his little sister, Lilibet right behind him.
A number of others are in line to claim the throne. Here are the top 25 in the line of succession:
- Charles, Prince of Wales – married to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
- Prince William, Duke of Cambridge – married to Kate, Duchess of Cambridge
- Prince George of Cambridge
- Princess Charlotte of Cambridge
- Prince Louis of Cambridge
- Prince Henry, Duke of Sussex – married to wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
- Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor
- Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor
- Prince Andrew, Duke of York – Queen Elizabeth’s second son
- Princess Beatrice of York – Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York’s daughter
- Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice’s daughter
- Princess Eugenie of York – Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York’s daughter
- August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s daughter
- Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex – Queen Elizabeth’s third son
- James, Viscount Severn – Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s son
- Lady Louis Windsor – Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s daughter
- Anne, Princess Royal – Queen Elizabeth’s daughter
- Peter Phillips – Princess Anne’s son with Capt. Mark Phillips
- Savannah Phillips – Peter and wife Autumn’s daughter
- Isla Phillips – Peter and wife Autumn’s daughter
- Zara Tindall – Zara Phillips married Mike Tindall, the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth
- Mia Grace Tindall – Zara and Mike’s daughter
- Lena Tindall, Zara and Mike’s daughter
- Lucas Tindall, Zara and Mike’s daughter
- David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowden – Also known as Viscount David Linley

Over 3,000 homes, schools, and businesses have been left with no water days after a broken pipe led to a significant leak in the Glanmire area.
A number of homes and business have had no water for up to three days. Knockraha primary school and creche had to remain closed on Wednesday due to a lack of water supply, leaving many parents with no choice but to not go to work.
The source of the leak was only discovered by Irish Water early this morning at 2 am. They have now said that works are underway and should be finished by this afternoon.
However, Glanmire residents said they were promised a full water supply by 5 pm on Tuesday.
Speaking to CorkBeo, TD Padraig O'Sullivan said his home in the Glanmire area has had no water for the "past three days".
He said: "There was a lack of notice given when the repairs were taking place, and we were told that the water was going to be back by 5 pm yesterday.
"I was on the phone to Irish Water, and they told me that there was a massive leak detected all across the area and that repairs were being done in Knockraha, Dunkettle, Glyntown, and Glanmire.
"We're just hoping that the water comes back tonight, I have three children, and it's really hard to do anything without water. And there are the sick and the elderly in the estates as well. This is a big thing."
TD O'Sullivan said he isn't sure if the water will even come back this evening, as he was told by Irish Water that it was to come yesterday.
"I genuinely don't know if it will come back. This could have been done in a better way."
A spokesperson for Irish Water told CorkBeo they "became aware of a large leak on Tuesday evening - which affected the high areas of Glanmire."
They said: "Water Inspectors spent yesterday searching for the leak in very poor weather conditions, and it was eventually located at 2 am this morning. The pipe was found to be broken as a result of works being undertaken by other 3rd party contractors active in the area.
"Crews worked from 7 pm to 12 pm Midnight last night dealing with another large break in the Clogheen/Kerry Pike area affecting 500 houses and schools in the area. Again these works were conducted in very poor weather conditions.
"Repairs works are underway and should be finished in the late afternoon.
"Due to the nature of the break, it is hard to define for definite the area affected as pressures would fluctuate and would affect properties at different heights rather than whole estates.
"Irish Water would like to apologize to customers for the inconvenience, and would also like to thank Cork County Council staff in the area for their hard work over the last two days."

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (Nasdaq Capital Market: WAVE) ("Eco Wave Power" or the "Company") was pleased to host Terry Tamminen, President and CEO of AltaSea at the Port Los Angeles, at the Company's new EWP-EDF One wave energy power station at Jaffa Port, Israel, on Wednesday, September 7. This visit comes just weeks before the expected arrival of Eco Wave Power's first U.S. power station, to be located at AltaSea.
The AltaSea pilot station will be the first U.S. location for Eco Wave Power's technology, which is already deployed in Israel. The Company plans further deployments in Spain, Portugal and other locations, completing the Company's 327.7 MW current project pipeline.
Eco Wave Power entered a collaboration agreement with AltaSea earlier this year and announced plans to install a first of its kind wave energy pilot in AltaSea's 35-acre campus located at the Port of Los Angeles, the nation's busiest seaport.
This pilot station is part of Eco Wave Power's increased focus on bringing its pioneering wave energy technology to the United States and expanding their worldwide presence.
"It was great to visit Eco Wave Power's pioneering wave energy power station at the Port of Jaffa and witness firsthand the generation of clean electricity through waves in action," said Terry Tamminen, President and CEO of AltaSea, who previously served as Secretary of California's Environmental Protection Agency. "I am excited to have the pilot station on AltaSea's campus in the coming weeks. Eco Wave Power's technology will create a new way of generating renewable energy to help both California and the United States reach their goals to decrease our carbon footprint and use more innovative clean energy sources. Blue economy is the future."
"It was our absolute pleasure to host Terry Tamminen at our EWP-EDF One wave energy power station at the Port of Jaffa, enabling him to see the innovative nature of our technology, which will soon be implemented on the AltaSea campus at the Port of Los Angeles," said Eco Wave Power Founder and CEO Inna Braverman.
Braverman is currently in Los Angeles to speak at Vox Media's prestigious Code Conference alongside entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The Code Conference comes in the midst of a historic heat wave in Los Angeles, in which temperatures have risen to record highs, causing widespread energy Flex Alerts and warnings about potential wildfires. The heat wave has caused the power grid to struggle to keep up with the surging demand with threats of widespread rolling outages.
We believe this extreme weather pattern clearly emphasizes the need for the incorporation of innovative renewable energy sources, such as wave energy, to California's national grid.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wave energy off the nation's coasts can generate the equivalent of about 66 percent of all the electricity generated across the U.S. in 2020, which can potentially help significantly alleviate stress on California's grid, and prevent climate change related phenomena, such as heat waves and fires.
"We are excited that our power station will soon arrive at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, which we believe will significantly reinforce our presence and commercialization plan in the Unites States, while diversifying California's renewable energy resources, creating local workplaces and assisting California towards its ambitious zero carbon emissions plans," added Braverman.
About Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ)

Interviews with Canadian stylists have revealed that they consequently often feel underqualified to cut, style and color all hair types based on the training they have received.
The objective of the "Power of the Collective" program is to educate every stylist on the diversity of hair types in order to foster an inclusive and trusted salon environment for all Canadian stylists and clients.
The first-year, 6-module training consists of four sections focused on hair cutting, all taught by international professionals with expertise on the respective hair type:
- Vancouver-based celebrity stylist James Valiant will be teaching the first modules about straight hair types, classified as Hair Type 1.
- Two-time 'North American Hairstyling Awards' Winner Rodrigo Araneda will be focusing on wavy hair types, classified as Hair Type 2.
- Curly Hair, classified as Hair Type 3, will be taught by 2022 'North American Hairstyling Awards' Texture Winner, Jamal Edmonds.
- And five-time 'North American Hairstyling Awards' winner Michelle O'Connor will teach the modules devoted to coily hair, classified as Hair Type 4.
After completion of the four modules, students will attend an exclusive Livestream event with a celebrity hairstylist showcasing hands-on top trends and an interactive Q&A.
The second year of training will be focused on styling, and the third year will focus on color.
Once the full program is complete, hairstylists will be certified as allies having gone through the complete foundational training. They will receive a stylist station decal to show their support for all clients that walk into their salon to ensure their clients know they are committed to upskilling themselves on all hair types.
Vice-President of L'Oréal Canada's Professional Products Division, Stephan Arsenault, said: "L'Oréal Canada's Professional Products Division is strongly committed to diversity in the industry, and we are fully mobilised to help hairstylists diversify and enrich their expertise. With the objective to train over 10,000 hairstylists in Canada, the potential reach is significant, and we collectively have the power to bring a real change to the Canadian hair industry."
International stylist Michelle O'Connor stated, "I joined the Power of the Collective movement because I am a firm believer in joining forces with likeminded artists in order to have a most powerful message. Diversity & Inclusion is a significant passion of mine. I've waited to have this voice my entire career. Together we have the ability to change and evolve the beauty industry, which in some small but extraordinary way changes the world!"
Celebrity stylist James Valiant said, "I decided to join the Power of the Collective movement because I believe constant education is a fundamental part of life, especially in the hairdressing industry. Sharing information enhances creativity and most importantly makes us feel secure and confident in what we do."
Hairstylists can sing-up for free until December 1 at www.powerofthecollective.ca

Big Village's insights & strategy group reveals 77% of Gen Alphas report they learn best when using technology and more key findings
NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest research report released by Cassandra, Big Village's insights and strategy group that studies trendsetting young consumers, unveils key findings as it concerns the future of education, particularly how the Gen Z and Gen Alpha learning experiences continue to seismically shift. With the EdTech market evolving, and 77% of Gen Alphas reporting that they learn best when using technology, the report cites the disruption of the pandemic as a critical inflection point in the industry, one that permanently evolved education as educators, parents, and students all once knew it.
Specifically, the Future of Education Report findings indicate a few overarching trends as it relates to a great rethink of the education system, including what it will take to optimize learning methods for future generations – and the rise in mental health concerns among students.
Education is in the midst of a great rethink; Gen Z and Gen Alpha think and learn differently, and they're not going back:
- 67% of today's youth agree that technology does a better job of teaching them than school does. And the education gamification market is forecast to grow 29% by 2027.
- Social media platforms are for more than just entertainment. 59% of GenZ cite YouTube as their preferred learning method, and 40% prefer TikTok over Google Search when looking for information.
- A degree may no longer be the main aim for Gen Alpha as they look to pursue individuality. 65% of today's youth believe you can get a good job without going to college.
- The future of work is here, and exposure to transformative tech in the classroom is critical. 65% of today's school children will work in new job types that do not yet exist, with those jobs most likely to have an increased premium on digital and social-emotional skills.
In classifying the learning preferences of Gen Z & Alpha students, the report reveals the evolution of "Education 4.0" has created an approach to learning that aligns with the emerging fourth industrial revolution. This industrial revolution focuses on innovative technology, artificial intelligence, and robotics, all of which will dominate the life of today's students in the future. Education 4.0 involves using tablets and smartphones as supportive tools in the classroom and focuses on intelligent and innovative technology.
"Gen Alpha is emerging as one of the most creative generations, as they are eager to learn and will use technology to explore their interests to better understand the world around them," said Kathy Sheehan, Senior Vice President, Cassandra. "The emergence of new educational technologies can be a positive shift in the system as children's needs and interests are taken into account and may help to set students on a path to success."
Other key findings include:
The kids are not alright, but they're trying. Educators can help address rising mental health concerns.
- 8 in 10 parents of Gen Alphas agree young people today are more open to talking about mental health issues. Mental illness among school-age children and the demand for psychological services are at all-time highs. In fact, 62% of Gen Alpha's and 57% of Gen Z say their school should focus more on mental health education than physical education.
- 64% of teachers reported their students' social-emotional needs are too much for them to handle on their own. Educators are implementing promising strategies to address the mental and emotional needs of the student body.
The Future of Education Report was crafted through a quantitative online survey fielded in the U.S. and UK among two respondent groups. We interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,020 U.S. youth aged 14 to 34 based on age, gender, ethnicity, and region, and 551 UK youth in the same age range, also nationally representative based on age, gender, and region.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Hundreds of cab drivers clogged traffic in Brussels in an international demonstration against the online ride company Uber, which is seen as unfairly distorting the market.
The drivers want Belgian and European Union authorities to curb the spread of Uber and say the service does not face the tax burdens and regulations that they do.
Protesters came as far and wide as Switzerland and Spain for the demonstration that started at morning rush hour and continued into the afternoon.
Over the past decade, Uber has won an increasing part of the European market with its low prices and tech-savvy reservation system. Still, the company has come under criticism and accusations that it treats its drivers poorly, fails to pay a fair amount of taxes and uses aggressive lobbying and tactics to get an edge.
"What we are asking is — to follow the rules, work like everybody else, have a proper licence, a proper vehicle, properly insured,” said Kamel Abdellaoui, a taxi driver who came from London to join the protest.
On top of concerns over Uber, the cab driving federations also want EU authorities to push back deregulation in their sector and demand EU help to move to climate neutral vehicles.
"Drivers they are just here to say: enough is enough,” said Abdellaoui.

The nonprofit will host a premiere party for "My Vote Matters" music video at the Englewood-based brewery on Sept. 15 to drive voter registration and education
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Developmental Pathways (DP) is teaming up with Brewability, a pizzeria and brewery that primarily employs individuals with developmental disabilities, to host the "My Vote Matters" music video premiere party on Thursday, Sept. 15. This summer, DP partnered with community advocate, Jim Brennan, to create a parody sing-along music video to raise awareness about the importance of voting. The video is complete, and we're excited to share it.
The event will take place at Brewability at 3445 S Broadway, Englewood, CO, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 15. The first showing of the video will be at 5:30 p.m. and will play again throughout the evening. All attendees will be able to enjoy the music video thanks to Brewability's vibrational dance floor, funded by a grant through DP in July. Additionally, nonpartisan election officials from Arapahoe and Douglas Counties will be there to assist with voter registration.
The music video is a collaboration between DP staff and community advocate Jim Brennan, who performs weekly sing-alongs on social media with his son, Ian. Jim, Ian, community members, performers, and staff met at the DP office in Aurora this summer to film the video. Jim brought a stellar production team and a music therapist to help the stars shine. The goal of the video is to bring attention to voting rights in the disability community and encourage all Coloradoans, regardless of ability, to register to vote, learn about the candidates and ballot issues, and – most importantly – vote.
"Brewability is a place for everyone in the community to come together," says founder and owner Tiffany Fixter. "We're excited to host the "My Vote Matters" premiere to help empower individuals with disabilities to vote on the issues that matter most to them."
DP recognizes there can be many barriers to voting, especially for those with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. According to the American Association for People with Disabilities (AAPD), in a study cited from Rutgers University, "If people with disabilities voted at the same rate as people without disabilities who have the same demographic characteristics, there would be about 2.35 million more voters." Some numbers suggest closer to 3 million more voters.
"People with disabilities often rely on services and support systems funded by state and federal dollars to access important resources like housing, education, and medical care," says DP's Associate Director for Disability Policy Kim Tenure. "Voting is critical for this community because what's on the ballot may impact their ability to be included in key decisions."
Voter turnout for people with disabilities increased from the 2016 to 2020 election for a variety of reasons, including more awareness and changes in requirements due to COVID-19, which made voting more accessible. In Colorado, in addition to the requirements for accessible polling locations, people with disabilities can also take advantage of mail-in and electronic ballots.
In 2020 DP launched its first organized voter engagement initiative with the goal of creating a nonpartisan campaign that advocates for individuals with developmental disabilities and/or delays in all stages of life. As part of the ongoing campaign, DP works with members of all political parties, shares educational resources, and creates influential partnerships. Each year it evolves to meet the community's needs, and this year is no different. Along with creating its first music video, DP onboarded a voter engagement intern and will release a ballot guide in October.
Started in 1964, Developmental Pathways is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency serving more than 8,000 individuals with developmental disabilities/delays (I/DD) and their families per year. We're one of Colorado's Community Centered Boards (CCB) which connect people with I/DD to federal, state, county, and private funding in Arapahoe, Douglas, and Elbert Counties and the City of Aurora. We passionately believe inclusion is for everyone and offer services through Home and Community Based Medicaid Waiver programs, locally funded programs, and partnerships with other community organizations.
Since its inception in 2016, Brewability has been serving up inclusivity alongside beer and pizza. Founded by a former special education teacher, Brewability is a brewery and pizzeria staffed primarily by people with developmental disabilities. Located in Englewood, Colorado, this establishment is where good food, good drinks, and good times are accessible to everyone. From hand-crafted brews to a bone-conduction, vibrational dance floor, Brewability is on the forefront of fun and inclusivity.

DALLAS, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Burgher-Ray Ranch Group, led by expert agents David Burgher and Harlan Ray of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, is thrilled to represent the Dolce Vita Ranch.
Situated on 130 acres in Weatherford, Texas, the cutting-horse capital of the world and a charming city just 30 minutes west of Fort Worth and an hour west of Dallas, the ranch is one of the finest properties in Parker County, known for its exceptional rural life. Dolce Vita Ranch is a unique property with appeal to the landowner, rancher or architecture aficionado, and is ideal as a weekend retreat or full-time residence.
The ranch has been well-manicured to create an ideal setting for both wildlife and livestock. Almost equal parts open pastureland and wooded areas, there is both level land near a creek bottom and rolling hills looking off into the distance, making the diversity of terrain truly unique. There are three water wells, three ponds, two stock tanks and frontage on both sides of Sanchez Creek. Most of the soil is Windthorst fine sandy loam. The property also offers a four-stall horse barn, storage barn and shop. Hunting, riding ATVs, horseback riding and stock-tank fishing can provide endless entertainment and recreation.
The property's centerpiece is the six-bedroom, six-bath, Italian-style villa of more than 11,000 square feet that offers the good life — as Dolce Vita's name so perfectly suggests. The sprawling, multilevel home is crafted of stucco and stone and features a media room, library, game room and 3,700-bottle connoisseur's wine cellar. The villa's arches, pediments, tile roofs, courtyards, flagstone walkways and vine-covered wood pergolas make for an incredibly inviting air while, inside, its terrazzo and marble floors, Venetian plaster walls (both polished and rough), hand-painted ceiling murals and doors from India, Argentina and Brazil elevate the entire living experience. The home's many other luxuries include a chef's kitchen with a large island and a sumptuous primary suite with a spa bath, workout area and private sauna. Each of the villa's bedrooms offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, with most featuring their own balcony or covered outside area.
A two-story guest house with a full kitchen overlooks the villa's saltwater swimming pool accented with fountains and a bubbling spa.
01 Dennis Road in Weatherford, Texas, is represented by Clay Bebee and Harlan Ray of the Burgher-Ray Ranch Group for $7,600,000. A link to 30-plus photos and complete details is here.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Red e App, the world leader in creating non-desk and frontline employee engagement and connection, today announced that Red e App is one of the select companies from across the world chosen to be featured in the global launch of Google's #WeArePlay campaign.
#WeArePlay celebrates the global community of people behind apps and games and their unique stories. It represents teams of all sizes – some founded by longtime coders and other by tech newcomers, some based in big cities and others in smaller towns. These are short stories that tell personal journeys of those individuals who were inspired to make apps or games that solve a challenging problem or bring joy to people who benefit from their creation.
Red e App Founder and CEO Jonathan Erwin remarked on the #WeArePlay release. "This recognition of our efforts to connect the world's non-desk workforce comes at a time when companies across all industries are expanding their understanding of what truly inclusive and meaningful employee engagement looks like.
Creating connection with the non-desk workforce is not easy. At Red e App we have spent the past ten years perfecting the solution to this problem. It starts with an understanding of the needs and behaviors of this segment of the workforce, and it ends with intelligent design. You know it's working when you see high levels of adoption and usage, as well as measurable gains in retention, productivity and profitability. Applying existing work tech built for deskbound workers is not only illogical, but it is also ineffective.
We are incredibly passionate about bringing non-desk workers and their employers closer together through tech, and are proud that Google has chosen to recognize us for our efforts as part of the #WeArePlay campaign."
For more information about Red e App and how easy we make it for you to create meaningful connection with your non-desk workforce, visit us at redeapp.com or give us a call at 855.733.3277.

Big Village's insights & strategy group reveals 77% of Gen Alphas report they learn best when using technology and more key findings
NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest research report released by Cassandra, Big Village's insights and strategy group that studies trendsetting young consumers, unveils key findings as it concerns the future of education, particularly how the Gen Z and Gen Alpha learning experiences continue to seismically shift. With the EdTech market evolving, and 77% of Gen Alphas reporting that they learn best when using technology, the report cites the disruption of the pandemic as a critical inflection point in the industry, one that permanently evolved education as educators, parents, and students all once knew it.
Specifically, the Future of Education Report findings indicate a few overarching trends as it relates to a great rethink of the education system, including what it will take to optimize learning methods for future generations – and the rise in mental health concerns among students.
Education is in the midst of a great rethink; Gen Z and Gen Alpha think and learn differently, and they're not going back:
- 67% of today's youth agree that technology does a better job of teaching them than school does. And the education gamification market is forecast to grow 29% by 2027.
- Social media platforms are for more than just entertainment. 59% of GenZ cite YouTube as their preferred learning method, and 40% prefer TikTok over Google Search when looking for information.
- A degree may no longer be the main aim for Gen Alpha as they look to pursue individuality. 65% of today's youth believe you can get a good job without going to college.
- The future of work is here, and exposure to transformative tech in the classroom is critical. 65% of today's school children will work in new job types that do not yet exist, with those jobs most likely to have an increased premium on digital and social-emotional skills.
In classifying the learning preferences of Gen Z & Alpha students, the report reveals the evolution of "Education 4.0" has created an approach to learning that aligns with the emerging fourth industrial revolution. This industrial revolution focuses on innovative technology, artificial intelligence, and robotics, all of which will dominate the life of today's students in the future. Education 4.0 involves using tablets and smartphones as supportive tools in the classroom and focuses on intelligent and innovative technology.
"Gen Alpha is emerging as one of the most creative generations, as they are eager to learn and will use technology to explore their interests to better understand the world around them," said Kathy Sheehan, Senior Vice President, Cassandra. "The emergence of new educational technologies can be a positive shift in the system as children's needs and interests are taken into account and may help to set students on a path to success."
Other key findings include:
The kids are not alright, but they're trying. Educators can help address rising mental health concerns.
- 8 in 10 parents of Gen Alphas agree young people today are more open to talking about mental health issues. Mental illness among school-age children and the demand for psychological services are at all-time highs. In fact, 62% of Gen Alpha's and 57% of Gen Z say their school should focus more on mental health education than physical education.
- 64% of teachers reported their students' social-emotional needs are too much for them to handle on their own. Educators are implementing promising strategies to address the mental and emotional needs of the student body.
The Future of Education Report was crafted through a quantitative online survey fielded in the U.S. and UK among two respondent groups. We interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,020 U.S. youth aged 14 to 34 based on age, gender, ethnicity, and region, and 551 UK youth in the same age range, also nationally representative based on age, gender, and region.

DALLAS, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Burgher-Ray Ranch Group, led by expert agents David Burgher and Harlan Ray of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, is thrilled to represent the Dolce Vita Ranch.
Situated on 130 acres in Weatherford, Texas, the cutting-horse capital of the world and a charming city just 30 minutes west of Fort Worth and an hour west of Dallas, the ranch is one of the finest properties in Parker County, known for its exceptional rural life. Dolce Vita Ranch is a unique property with appeal to the landowner, rancher or architecture aficionado, and is ideal as a weekend retreat or full-time residence.
The ranch has been well-manicured to create an ideal setting for both wildlife and livestock. Almost equal parts open pastureland and wooded areas, there is both level land near a creek bottom and rolling hills looking off into the distance, making the diversity of terrain truly unique. There are three water wells, three ponds, two stock tanks and frontage on both sides of Sanchez Creek. Most of the soil is Windthorst fine sandy loam. The property also offers a four-stall horse barn, storage barn and shop. Hunting, riding ATVs, horseback riding and stock-tank fishing can provide endless entertainment and recreation.
The property's centerpiece is the six-bedroom, six-bath, Italian-style villa of more than 11,000 square feet that offers the good life — as Dolce Vita's name so perfectly suggests. The sprawling, multilevel home is crafted of stucco and stone and features a media room, library, game room and 3,700-bottle connoisseur's wine cellar. The villa's arches, pediments, tile roofs, courtyards, flagstone walkways and vine-covered wood pergolas make for an incredibly inviting air while, inside, its terrazzo and marble floors, Venetian plaster walls (both polished and rough), hand-painted ceiling murals and doors from India, Argentina and Brazil elevate the entire living experience. The home's many other luxuries include a chef's kitchen with a large island and a sumptuous primary suite with a spa bath, workout area and private sauna. Each of the villa's bedrooms offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, with most featuring their own balcony or covered outside area.
A two-story guest house with a full kitchen overlooks the villa's saltwater swimming pool accented with fountains and a bubbling spa.
01 Dennis Road in Weatherford, Texas, is represented by Clay Bebee and Harlan Ray of the Burgher-Ray Ranch Group for $7,600,000. A link to 30-plus photos and complete details is here.

This will be the second brick and mortar retail expansion in Illinois for the jewelry brand.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- gorjana, the Southern California-based jewelry brand known for its effortless and laid-back style, is continuing their impressive nationwide retail expansion with the opening of their second location in Illinois at Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook, IL on September 9th, 2022.
After opening their first Illinois-based location in Lincoln Park, in July 2021, gorjana received such recognition and support from customers in this area that a second location was a natural next step in their expansion in this region.
The new 1,171 square foot storefront at Oakbrook Center will boast a coastal bungalow feel, outfitted with design elements that incorporate the brand's coastal cool vibes. These include mango wood finishes, brass hardware, driftwood and sea glass details and live greenery. The welcoming, airy space will help to display the brand's latest and greatest collections and will feature a robust display of fine jewelry offerings.
Each location in gorjana's brick and mortar footprint, including Oakbrook Center, also includes design aspects such as crystal quartz chandeliers (to clear energy) and the scent of custom candles designed by founder Gorjana that possess beachy notes of citrus, palm and palo santo. Locations also all pay homage to their hometown via custom, hand-dipped tapestries inspired by the iconic Laguna Beach coastline.
Both the gorjana and Oakbrook Center teams are thrilled with the upcoming partnership and store opening:
"Retail is fundamental to our brand's growth strategy, and we continue to see a phenomenal, positive response as we look to meet our customers where they live. Based on the tremendous success of our location in Chicago, we look forward to bringing the gorjana retail experience to Oakbrook Center, providing customers with the ability to interact with our brand in person and access services like buy online, pick up in store, same day delivery, complimentary bespoke engraving, and assistance from our incredible team of stylists." - Jason Griffin Reidel, CEO
"We love helping brands further expand their brick-and-mortar footprint in the Chicagoland area," said Tim Geiges, senior general manager of Oakbrook Center. "gorjana is a great addition that complements our collection of tenants. Oakbrook Center is proud to welcome gorjana to our shopping center and we know our community will enjoy discovering this brand."
Based in Laguna Beach, California, the gorjana brand was founded in 2004 on the apartment floor of husband-and-wife duo Jason and Gorjana Reidel. The couple drove 50,000 miles to sell and market their collection and hit the trade show circuit. Through their own separate strengths and combined creative vision, the brand grew rapidly from an idea into a full-fledged business that is still owned and operated by the couple today. With beautiful, easy styling, the brand's wide assortment includes gold plating, solid gold options, and an expanding range of fine materials including diamonds, opals, sapphires, emeralds, turquoise, and more.

Queen Elizabeth II is under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after her doctors became worried about her health.
Members of the royal family are already by the queen's bedside in Balmoral — and others are on their way — after her doctors placed her under medical supervision Thursday, the British media, including the BBC and The Guardian, reported.
"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The BBC reported that the statement — and the fact that family members are traveling to her — marks a significant change in her situation. Elizabeth's health has been of concern in recent years, and more so over the summer.
Prince Charles, the queen's oldest son and heir to the throne, represented Elizabeth at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in late July.
When she arrived in Balmoral for her summer break, a welcome ceremony was moved indoors to accommodate her mobility issues, The Guardian reported. Elizabeth also missed the Braemar Gathering highland games earlier this month.
Before leaving office, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited the queen in Balmoral this week, as did incoming Prime Minister Liz Truss.
A Privy Council meeting was postponed Wednesday after doctors advised the queen to get some rest, according to The Guardian.
At 96, Elizabeth has served longer than any other British ruler, and is the second longest-reigning monarch in history. The United Kingdom celebrated her 70 years on the throne with a Platinum Jubilee in June.
This is a developing story.

(The Hill) – Longtime CNN anchor and reporter Bernard Shaw died on Wednesday, the network announced.
Shaw, 82, retired from journalism in the early 2000s and was one of CNN’s original anchors when the network launched in the 1980s.
“He was our lead anchor for the next twenty years from anchoring coverage of presidential elections to his iconic coverage of the First Gulf War live from Baghdad in 1991,” CNN president Chris Licht said in a statement on Shaw’s passing. “Even after he left CNN, Bernie remained a close member of our CNN family providing our viewers with context about historic events as recently as last year. The condolences of all of us at CNN go out to his wife Linda and his children.”
Shaw was well known for his coverage of several major foreign conflicts, his moderation of a number of presidential debates, and other high-profile political events.
When Shaw signed off for the last time in 2000, he received a standing ovation from the CNN newsroom.

Leicester ‘very supportive’ to Brendan Rodgers despite poor start to season
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers says he has the full support of the club and is not suffering from betrayal.
Rodgers has come under pressure with his side sitting bottom of the Premier League on just one point after five successive losses.
That poor start has come after a difficult summer which saw them make just two signings and led Rodgers to say his squad needed refreshing as early as six months ago.
But the 49-year-old is defiant in wanting to stay in the job and says everyone is pulling in the same direction.
“It is very easy, I love being here, my record here is concrete in terms of what we have done and how performances have been,” he said ahead of Saturday’s midlands derby with Aston Villa.
“But of late it has not been to the level. My career has been built on a resilience, which is something you need in this industry. It is how I have arrived where I am.
“I was not a big player, I had to coach and I had to manage players and it has not all been plain sailing in my career.
“The strength is very easy to come by, it is not easy when you are not getting results but it provides the motivation to get things right.
“Normally what you find when results go against you as a manager, there can be a level of betrayal that kicks in against you as a manager but I have never felt that at all, all the staff, players have been absolutely brilliant in their support.
“If it is not going well for the manager you can get lots of side conversations, but I have not felt that, we are all together, we are all on one page, we have all worked well and now when it is not going so well we are still very much together.
“It’s been very supportive. I am not daft, I understand football, it has not been a great start at all, but the support shows the level of work we have done here and the work of what is going on behind the scenes and an appreciation of what we have been through over the course of the summer.
“It is my responsibility to improve the results, there is no question about that, but I have had nothing but support from within to help us get that.”
Rodgers, who led the Foxes to back-to-back fifth-placed finishes and FA Cup glory in recent seasons, was outspoken last week about how his side’s target this term has changed to just achieving 40 points.
He also commented on his team’s lack of transfers, which raised some eyebrows.
However, he insists it is nothing he has not said to the club.
“I have spoken because I have been the only one speaking and when you have asked me questions, I have been giving honest answers,” he said.
“I don’t know what feathers have been ruffled, there is no intent to do anything of the sort, I am speaking openly and honestly when I am the one speaking on behalf of the club about the situation.
“I have never said anything openly which I haven’t said in our football club. I have been transparent about the situation our football club is at.”
There is some good news ahead of the Villa game, with new signing Wout Faes available after overcoming visa issues.

BELA-BELA, South Africa (AP) — South Africa is flying cheetahs to India and Mozambique as part of ambitious efforts to reintroduce the distinctively spotted cats in regions where their population has dwindled.
Four cheetahs captured at reserves in South Africa have been flown to Mozambique this week after being held in quarantine for about a month and cleared for travel. Conservationists are preparing to fly 12 more cheetahs, reputed to be the world’s fastest land mammals, to India in October.
Speaking to The Associated Press shortly after those going to Mozambique were tranquilized and placed into crates, wildlife veterinarian Andy Frasier said the relocations are tough for the animals.
“It’s a very stressful process for the cats to be in a boma (livestock enclosure) environment because they have nowhere to go whilst we are darting them,” said Frasier of shooting the cats with darts of tranquilizers.
“We need to use our drug doses very carefully and make sure that we give them enough drugs to anesthetize them safely,” he said.
“They have woken up nicely in their crates and they are all relaxed enough that we are happy for them to leave in their transport,” he said.
Frasier said the team is preparing for the larger and more challenging relocation of cheetahs to India which will require the cats to travel a much longer distance with stops in commercial airports.
Those cheetahs would be treated with a tranquilizer that lasts for three to five days during their travel, he said.
There are two subspecies of cheetahs. Those that once roamed in Asia were declared extinct in India in 1952 and are now found only in Iran. Since then there have been efforts to reintroduce these cats to India’s savannahs. Initially the plan was to bring in cheetahs from Iran but now they are being moved from southern African countries.
In this restocking effort, Namibia is contributing eight cheetahs which will be flown to India this month, according to Vincent van der Merwe, manager of the Cheetah Metapopulation Initiative. South Africa will send an additional 12 cheetahs to India in October, he said.
“For a genetically viable population in India in the long-term you need at least 500 individuals, so every year we will send eight to 12 animals, to top them up, to increase numbers, to bring in new genetics until they have a viable population,” said van der Merwe.
Indian officials say the move will aid global cheetah conservation efforts since their range in Africa is limited. The plan is for the cats to be kept in large enclosures in central Indian forests, protected from other predators like leopards or bears, to give them time to get used to their new home. The enclosures have prey — like deer and antelope — which scientists hope the cheetahs will hunt. After a few months of close monitoring, the cheetahs will be radio-collared and released.
The southern African countries of South Africa, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe still have significant cheetah populations and are expected to play a significant role in their reintroduction in India following the first shipments this year.
South Africa’s cheetah population is expanding at a rate of about 8% annually, allowing the country to move about 30 of the cats to other game reserves within South Africa and to export some to other countries, van der Merwe said.
Conservationists say Mozambique’s Zambezi River delta had a significant cheetah population which was drastically reduced by rampant poaching and because lions and leopards preyed upon the smaller cats.
In this week’s operation the two male and two female adult cheetahs were tranquilized in South Africa’s northern Limpopo province and then were flown to Mozambique’s Marromeu National Reserve in the Zambezi delta region.

BENSALEM, Pa., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that investors with substantial losses have opportunity to lead the securities fraud class action lawsuit against Coupang, Inc. ("Coupang" or the "Company") (NYSE: CPNG).
Class Period: March 2021 IPO
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 25, 2022
Investors suffering losses on their Coupang investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
The complaint filed alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Coupang was engaged in improper anti-competitive practices with its suppliers and other third parties in violation of applicable regulations, including: (i) pressuring suppliers to raise prices of products on competing e-commerce platforms in order to ensure Coupang's prices would be more competitive; (ii) coercing suppliers into purchasing advertisements that would benefit Coupang financially; (iii) forcing suppliers to shoulder all expenses from sales promotions; and (iv) requesting wholesale rebates from suppliers without specifying any terms relating to rebate programs, all of which served to artificially maintain the Company's lower prices and artificially inflate the Company's historical revenues and market share; (2) that Coupang had improperly adjusted search algorithms and manipulated product reviews on its marketplace platform in order to prioritize its own private-label branded products over those of other sellers and merchants, to the detriment of consumers, merchants, and suppliers; (3) that, unbeknownst to its Rocket WOW members, Coupang was selling products to non-member customers at lower prices than those offered to its Rocket WOW members; (4) that Coupang subjected its workforce to extreme, unsafe, and unhealthy working conditions; (5) that all of the above illicit practices exposed the Company to a heightened, but undisclosed, risk of reputational and regulatory scrutiny that would harm the Company's critical relationships with consumers, merchants, suppliers, and the workforce; (6) that Coupang's lower prices, historical revenues, competitive advantages, and growing market share were the result of systemic, improper, unethical, and/or illegal practices, and, thus, unsustainable; and (7) as a result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to the pending class action lawsuit, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.

(WKBN) – More than 17 million masks for BiPAP and CPAP machines have been recalled, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA said that Philips Respironics (Philips) has recalled certain masks used with bilevel positive airway pressure (also known as Bilevel PAP, BiPAP or BPAP) machines and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines due to a safety concern that involves magnets.
The machines help people with conditions that include obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure as well as health conditions that cause pauses in breathing during sleep.
Five mask types are affected by the recall: the DreamWisp, DreamWear, Amara View, Wisp and Wisp Youth masks, according to a press release from the FDA.
The magnets can affect the movement of certain implanted metallic medical devices, which could cause injury or death to the mask user or the person sleeping near the mask user.
The FDA said the magnets could also affect people or those near them who have metallic objects in their bodies, such as shrapnel or splinters in their eyes.
Philips reported 14 serious injuries, including pacemaker failure, arrhythmia, seizures and irregular blood pressure related to the use of the recalled masks.
The FDA has provided recommendations for users, caregivers and health care providers concerning the use of the recalled masks, including the submission of medical device reports by health professionals and manufacturers.

Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said she was not totally happy with the selection of Vice-Chancellors of State universities.
She blamed the Chief Minister for not visiting Raj Bhavan and said earlier he used to go quite frequently when she took up with him issues of health and education. She had brought to his notice the poor facilities at government hospitals with lack of basic requirements like saline.
She laughed away a question that she was playing the role of main Opposition and said people visited her to resolve issues because there was something wrong with elected representatives. “I can’t say you go to elected representatives”.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — An Albuquerque woman did say cheese when asked if she was bringing any food products into the U.S. from Mexico, but she did not disclose how much.
The woman said she only had 10 wheels of cheese when she arrived at the Paso Del Norte Bridge on Tuesday morning, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
But upon further inspection, a CBP officer found an additional 50 wheels of cheese hidden under a blanket in the back row of the GMC Yukon.
With each wheel weighing just over 2 pounds, agricultural specialists seized and ultimately destroyed more than 100 pounds of undeclared cheese, CBP said.
The woman, a U.S. citizen, was fined $1,000.
CBP officials say travelers are allowed to import cheese as long as it is for personal consumption.
“A few wheels would generally be fine but not 60,” said Ray Provencio, the port director for CBP in El Paso. “It was undeclared and that amount would be a commercial quantity and additional reporting requirements would apply.”
Both CBP and the Department of Agriculture restrict imports of food products like milk, cream, ice cream, butter and cheese, and all dairy products must meet several requirements set by the Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and the Food and Drug Administration.
Additionally, CBP said the wrappers or cartons for milk and cream must be printed with the country of origin.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sean Kevelighan, CEO, Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I), is moderating a panel featuring four industry experts on Thursday, Sept. 22, as part of the InsureTech Connect 2022 conference.
The panelists, who will discuss Solving for the World's #1 Climate Risk—Flood, are convening from 2:55 to 3:30 p.m., PDT, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The session is being held in the venue's North Convention Center, Islander Ballroom, Room E.
"Floods are the number one natural catastrophe affecting people in this ever-increasing world of climate risk," Kevelighan stated. "Yet floods also are the most uninsured natural catastrophes. Decades ago, floods were unpredictable and private insurance options were often unattainable, leaving governments to present risk transfer solutions. That is no longer the case. Innovation is a primary reason for this."
The four panelists joining Kevelighan on Thursday, Sept. 22, in alphabetical order, are:
- Christina Colby, Chief Customer Officer, Guidewire
- Seth Rachlin, Global Insurance Industry Leader, Capgemini
- Adam Rimmer Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, FloodFlash
- Raghuveer Vinukollu, Senior Vice President, Climate Resilience and Solutions Lead, Munich Reinsurance America
"The panel will discuss how innovation, along with public-private partnerships, can play a key role in mitigating flood risks," Kevelighan concluded. "Given the extraordinary flooding we've seen this year in Australia, Pakistan, and South Africa, as well as U.S. states such as Kentucky and Missouri, protecting life and property from this natural catastrophe is one of the world's most pressing public policy issues."

OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chamberlain Group, a leader in smart access solutions, launches "Safer Schools" initiative and is giving away 100 of its award-winning LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom systems to K-8 schools across America. LiftMaster Smart Video Intercoms bring secure and reliable access to any school entrance by allowing school administrators or employees to see and speak to visitors prior to granting them access. Schools interested in receiving a free Smart Video Intercom can complete an online application form located on Chamberlain Group's Safer Schools website.
"Chamberlain Group's Safer Schools initiative came to life after the Uvalde school shooting. Our employees stood up and asked what Chamberlain Group could do to make schools and communities safer," said Jennifer Lytle, Chamberlain Group Safer Schools Initiative Lead and VP & GM, Commercial Services Emerging Business. "We wanted to find a way to help make schools a safer place for our children and teachers. The 100 free Smart Video Intercoms are a start, we look forward to helping in other ways through our Safer Schools initiative."
When Chamberlain Group launched its Smart Video Intercoms in 2020 the main use case was enhancing access security for residents within multifamily properties. "After seeing firsthand how successfully our products performed in that context, we realized that they could also be a powerful solution for schools," added Lytle.
LiftMaster Smart Video Intercoms powered by myQ® software, allow you to see, speak to, and grant access to visitors from any phone or web browser. Administrators can also create individualized access schedules for staff and guests, view archived video footage from every access event, and remotely lock or unlock additional building access points.

K-8 schools eligible to receive a free LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom can indicate interest by submitting their information via Chamberlain Group's Safer Schools website. Schools will be selected in the order of qualified applications received, until all 100 free Smart Video Intercoms have been given away.

GENEVA (AP) — The number of new coronavirus cases fell everywhere in the world last week by about 12%, according to the World Health Organization’s latest weekly review of the pandemic issued Wednesday.
The U.N. health agency reported that there were just under 4.2 million new infections last week and about 13,700 deaths – a 5% drop.
“This is very encouraging, but there is no guarantee these trends will persist,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a press briefing. “The most dangerous thing is to assume (that) they will,” he said. He added that even though the number of weekly reported deaths have plummeted more than 80% since February, one person still dies with COVID-19 every 44 seconds and that most of those deaths are avoidable.
In its pandemic report, WHO said COVID-19 deaths dropped in Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle East, but increased in Africa, the Americas and the Western Pacific.
Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, noted that the virus has not yet settled into a seasonal pattern and that its continued evolution will require constant surveillance and possible tweaks to diagnostics, treatments and vaccines.
Scientists warn the coronavirus will linger far into the future, partly because it is getting better and better at getting around immunity from vaccination and past infection. Experts point to emerging research that suggests the latest omicron variant gaining ground in the U.S. — BA.4.6, which was responsible for around 8% of new U.S. infections last week — appears to be even better at evading the immune system than the dominant BA.5.
In China, authorities this week locked down 65 million of its citizens under tough COVID-19 restrictions and is discouraging domestic travel during upcoming national holidays.
Across the country, 33 cities including seven provincial capitals are under full or partial lockdown covering more than 65 million people, according to a tally published late Sunday by the Chinese business magazine Caixin.
It said that outbreaks have been reported in 103 cities, the highest since the early days of the pandemic in early 2020.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A gunman who livestreamed himself driving around Memphis shooting at people, killing four and wounding three others in seemingly random attacks, was finally arrested after crashing a stolen car, police said early Thursday.
The hours-long rampage had police warning people across the city to shelter in place, locking down a baseball stadium and university campuses and suspending public bus services as frightened residents wondered where the man might strike next.
Memphis Police Director Cerelyn "CJ" Davis said four people were killed and three others were wounded in seven shootings and at least two carjackings before Ezekiel Kelly was arrested without incident at around 9 p.m.
Kelly, 19, was released early from a prison sentence for aggravated assault, court records show, raising a sore point between the city's mayor and the county's top prosecutor that played out before the cameras at an early Thursday news conference.
"This is no way for us to live and it is not acceptable," said Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland, who later pounded the podium as he demanded accountability. "If Mr. Kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive," he said.
The first killing was at 12:56 a.m. Wednesday, and officers responded to three more crime scenes before receiving a tip at 6:12 p.m. that the suspect was livestreaming himself threatening to cause harm to citizens, Davis said.
In one clip from the video, the suspect casually speaks to the camera before opening the door to an AutoZone store and shooting someone inside with what appeared to be a pistol. That man was taken to a hospital in critical condition. In another, a man narrates himself driving — "green light, green light" — and sings "no faking." At one point, he fires two rapid bursts of gunfire out the driver's window while driving. Referring to police, he says he's going to "go down to the valley, shoot it out with them in the valley."
Three more shootings and two carjackings followed after police sent out an alert warning people to be on the lookout for an armed and dangerous man responsible for multiple shootings and reportedly recording his actions on Facebook.
Police said he killed a woman in Memphis as he took her grey Toyota SUV, which he left behind when he stole a man's Dodge Challenger across the state line in Southaven, Mississippi.
Kelly was arrested without incident two hours after the initial police alert when he crashed the Challenger during a high speed chase, and two guns were found in the vehicle, Davis said.
As the shooter terrorized the city, buses stopped running and the Memphis Redbirds cleared the field during their minor-league baseball game. Friends and relatives frantically called and texted each other and TV stations cut into regular coverage with updates.
Police received "numerous tips" from the public during the ordeal, Davis said.
The University of Memphis sent a message to students saying a shooting had been reported near the campus. Rhodes College, which is about 4 miles away from the university, advised students on and off campus to shelter in place. Kelly was ultimately arrested in the Memphis neighborhood of Whitehaven, about 11 miles from the two campuses.
"If you do not have to be out, stay indoors until this is resolved," Memphis police said on Twitter, before the arrest.
Police did not discuss a motive or release the identities of those who were killed or wounded. It was too early in the investigation to discuss how the suspect got the gun or guns used in the shootings, said Ali Roberts, acting assistant special agent in charge for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Memphis.
Memphis has been shaken by several high-profile killings in recent weeks, including the shooting of a pastor during a daylight carjacking in her driveway, the shooting of an activist during an argument over money, and the slaying of a jogger abducted during her pre-dawn run.
"I understand it feels like so much violence and evil to experience in such a short time," Memphis City Council member Chase Carlisle said on Twitter. "We are SO much more than this."
In February 2020, Kelly, then 17, was charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, using a firearm to commit a dangerous felony and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, court records show.
Records show he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced in April 2021 to three years. Kelly was released from prison in March, 11 months after he was sentenced, the mayor said. Given the time he spent awaiting a resolution of his charges, he likely got credit for time served and spent more than two years behind bars.
Strickland thanked legislators for closing what he called a revolving door by passing Tennessee's "truth in sentencing" law this year. The statute, which took effect after Kelly was freed, requires serving entire sentences for various felonies, including attempted first-degree murder, vehicular homicide resulting from the driver's intoxication and carjacking.
"From now on, three years for aggravated assault means three years," the mayor said. "We need the courts and additional state laws to stop this revolving door and I need the public to make their voices heard by those decision makers."
Standing beside him was Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, a fellow Democrat who was elected in August after arguing that the sentencing law does not reduce crime nor help incarcerated people rehabilitate, and drives up Tennessee's prison budget. Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who favors criminal justice reform, allowed the measure to become law without his signature.
"I don't want to get into a protracted policy debate tonight. I think tonight is a night for grieving and coming together and expressing concern about this horrific week that we've had. I can say in general what I've been saying all along — that repeat violent offenders require a tough response," Mulroy said.
Mulroy then repeated his call for a holistic approach including rehabilitation as well as long sentences, so that people leave prison with the skills they need to avoid returning to lives of crime.

(WXIN) — “My pumpkin spice latte tasted sus, so I yeeted it across the room.”
Confused by that sentence?
Look the words up in Merriam-Webster.
“Pumpkin spice,” “sus,” and “yeet” are among 370 words newly added to the iconic dictionary. While pumpkin spice is self-explanatory, “sus” and “yeet” may need some context.
“Sus” is short for suspicious or suspect, and “yeet” is slang for throw.
Slang terms make up a large part of the new entries, and words associated with the business and technological world (“shrinkflation” and “metaverse“) and healthcare (“subvariant” and “booster dose“) were also included.
sponcon : content posted usually by an influencer on social media that looks like a typical post but for which the poster has been paid to advertise a product or service
Merriam-Webster
Merriam-Webster says its criteria for adding words is their sustained and widespread use.
Some of the latest terms are widely seen across social media, including “virtue signaling,” which means to publicly show support for social and political issues without taking any effective actions.
You’ve also likely seen “sponcon” while scrolling through social media. That’s when an influencer is paid to advertise a product or service in a post.
“Pumpkin spice” was not the only food term to make the cut. Sushi lovers might recognize “omakase,” which refers to a series of sushi selections according to the chef’s choice. Another new entry, “mojo,” is defined as a sauce, marinade or seasoning that is usually composed primarily of olive oil, garlic, citrus juice, and spices (such as black pepper and cumin).
A word you may remember from your childhood is also being welcomed into the dictionary. A “cootie catcher” is “a child’s toy that consists of paper folded into four pyramid-shaped parts that are manipulated by the fingers to open and close with each part having a flap that can be unfolded to reveal an answer to one’s question about the future.”

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II remains under round-the-clock medical supervision at her castle in Balmoral, Scotland, Buckingham Palace said in a statement Thursday.
According to reports, doctors are “concerned for Her Majesty’s health,” and members of the royal family, including the Queen’s son, Prince Charles, his wife Camilla and the Queen’s grandson, Prince William, are on their way to Scotland.
With more than 70 years on the throne, most alive today will have only seen the queen as Britain’s monarch, but who is next in line?
Prince Charles will become king if the queen gives up her throne, retires or dies. Next in line after him is his eldest son, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Prince George is third in line to the throne, after his father and grandfather.
The royals have made a number of changes to succession rules over the years, making it difficult to keep track of whose next in line.
Up until Duchess Kate’s pregnancy, the crown was passed from monarch to eldest son. Since King George VI had no son, his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, became queen.
But the Succession to the Crown Act was created in 2013, before Prince George was born, to make succession to the throne based on birth order, not gender.
Now, Princess Charlotte will be fourth in line to the throne, and Prince Louis will be fifth. William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, is sixth in line, and his son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, will be seventh with his little sister, Lilibet right behind him.
A number of others are in line to claim the throne. Here are the top 25 in the line of succession:
- Charles, Prince of Wales – married to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
- Prince William, Duke of Cambridge – married to Kate, Duchess of Cambridge
- Prince George of Cambridge
- Princess Charlotte of Cambridge
- Prince Louis of Cambridge
- Prince Henry, Duke of Sussex – married to wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
- Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor
- Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor
- Prince Andrew, Duke of York – Queen Elizabeth’s second son
- Princess Beatrice of York – Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York’s daughter
- Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice’s daughter
- Princess Eugenie of York – Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York’s daughter
- August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s daughter
- Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex – Queen Elizabeth’s third son
- James, Viscount Severn – Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s son
- Lady Louis Windsor – Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s daughter
- Anne, Princess Royal – Queen Elizabeth’s daughter
- Peter Phillips – Princess Anne’s son with Capt. Mark Phillips
- Savannah Phillips – Peter and wife Autumn’s daughter
- Isla Phillips – Peter and wife Autumn’s daughter
- Zara Tindall – Zara Phillips married Mike Tindall, the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth
- Mia Grace Tindall – Zara and Mike’s daughter
- Lena Tindall, Zara and Mike’s daughter
- Lucas Tindall, Zara and Mike’s daughter
- David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowden – Also known as Viscount David Linley

Private equity firm launches "Future of Work" platform by partnering with innovative company that sources and manages best-in-class talent tailored for each client engagement
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Falfurrias Capital Partners today announced it has made a platform investment in Said Differently, a global marketing agency that assembles integrated teams of specialists strategically sourced to meet and exceed specific client goals. Terms were not disclosed.
The deal is the fourth investment from Falfurrias' $850 million Fund V. It's the first investment by the Charlotte-based private equity firm in support of its "Future of Work" thesis, which aims to identify and grow companies poised to capitalize on dramatic changes taking place in how work gets done.
As part of the investment, Falfurrias' Alexander Jutkowitz will join Said Differently as Executive Chairman. Jutkowitz has been an Executive in Residence for four years at Falfurrias, where he has been actively involved with the firm's investments across marketing, media and information services including My Code, Ballast Research and Industry Dive.
"The Covid pandemic opened a lot of people's eyes to how technology can turn the traditional employment model upside down," said Jutkowitz. "Said Differently has completely revolutionized the traditional agency model by amassing a collection of global talent that would rival any agency, and I know Falfurrias is excited for them to be the launching pad for additional investments in similarly innovative companies."
Said Differently was founded in 2020 before the start of the pandemic by Rachel Barek and Brian Skahan, both former managing directors at leading global marketing agencies. The company operates virtually, with Barek based in Washington, D.C., Skahan living in Florida, and the rest of its employee base spread around the globe. The true measure of Said Differently's capabilities, however, is its proprietary network of more than 3,000 specialist studios, freelance designers, programmers, strategists and other marketing experts worldwide, up to 300 of whom may be engaged in client assignments at any given time.
"The traditional professional services model is outdated," Barek and Skahan said in a joint statement. "Clients are in dire need of a lean and modern solution to manage the complexities of today's market, customized to their changing needs. We built Said Differently as the interface between clients and a world of talent that has already shifted to a new way of working. We are set up to solve the challenges our clients will face over the next decade and beyond, and we're eager to partner with Falfurrias on the next stage of this journey."
"We began looking at opportunities around the 'Future of Work' in April 2020, shortly after Covid began disrupting so many businesses," said Falfurrias Partner Geordie Pierson. "There's a lot of innovation out there, especially among B2B service providers, and we found Said Differently to be one of the most successful in completely transforming the delivery of world-class capabilities. We see a lot of potential to build off what they've accomplished, and we're thrilled to have Brian and Rachel at the forefront of our efforts in this area."
Alston & Bird served as Said Differently's legal counsel, and K&L Gates served as legal advisors to Falfurrias Capital Partners on the transaction.
About Said Differently
Reinventing the outdated "agency model," Said Differently offers an untraditional global approach to strategic consulting, design and development services that garner award-winning campaigns, products and platforms for the most innovative companies in the world, from nonprofits to VC-backed start-ups to Fortune 500 brands. Launched in 2020 with founders based in Miami and Washington, D.C., Said Differently's network of over 3,000 specialists are geographically distributed across the globe to service a range of clients across industry verticals, time zones and languages.

Smart motorway system `dangerous and flawed´, inquest told
The family of a grandmother who died on a stretch of the M1 with no hard shoulder believe the smart motorway system is “dangerous and flawed,” an inquest has heard.
Nargis Begum was the passenger in a Nissan Qashqai car, driven by her husband, which broke down near Woodall Services, South Yorkshire, on September 9 2018.
Previous hearings have heard the 62-year-old mother-of-five had got out of the car and was waiting for help when a Mercedes collided with the Nissan, causing it plough into her.
On Tuesday an inquest at Doncaster Coroner’s Court heard Mrs Begum and her husband, Mohammed Bashir, 69, were driving from Derby to their home in Darnall, Sheffield, when the car “suddenly” dropped speed.
The hearing was told the couple had borrowed the car from their daughter, Saima Aktar, 40, as Mrs Begum suffered from arthritis and preferred her vehicle as it had more space.
A statement from Mr Bashir, read by counsel to the inquest Bridget Dolan QC, said that shortly after passing the service station the car started to lose speed, so he tried dropping down to the lowest gear, and then trying to start it up again.

Taxi driver Mr Bashir said he then “brought the car to a standstill in what I thought was the hard shoulder but was actually a live lane”.
His statement said he put his hazard warning lights on and the couple got out of the car.
The inquest heard Mr Bashir climbed over the barrier and called his daughter to ask about the car’s recovery documents, but Mrs Begum was unable to get over the barrier as it was too high.
Mr Bashir said when he looked back at the car he could not see his wife, and assumed she had gone to cross the barrier at another point further along the road.
His statement said that as he was going back to the car to get the recovery details, another car hit the Nissan Qashqai he had been driving, adding that “all I could hear was the horrendous impact”.
Mr Bashir said there was then a second impact as another car hit the vehicle that had crashed into them.
The inquest heard he then saw Mrs Begum lying on the ground.
Mr Bashir said in his statement: “I don’t want to describe what I saw as it is still too upsetting.”
He told police that until this incident he was “unaware of any changes to the Highway Code, nor the fact that the motorway had changed to a smart version”.
A statement from the couple’s daughter, Saima Aktar, said she had been on her way to pick her parents up after learning about the crash when she called Mr Bashir, who said: “Sweetheart, the situation has changed, there’s been an accident and your mum’s been hurt.”
Ms Aktar added: “This accident has broken our family but we are united in not wanting this to happen to another family.
“We all believe the smart motorway system is dangerous and flawed – if there had been a hard shoulder my dad would have ended up there.”
The inquest heard the driver of the Mercedes, Kantrimas Zukauskas, who was initially arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, had refused to give evidence at the hearing.
Ms Dolan read from a transcript of Mr Zukauskas’ interviews with police, in which he said: “I just don’t know how I did it, that’s all. If I hit it, I didn’t see it.”
The inquest heard evidence from another motorist, Mark Sheriff, who told the inquest he was passing the broken-down vehicle when he saw a car behind him “coming at a speed – about 90mph”.
He said: “It went straight across the front of me, no brake lights, and the next thing I knew were just an almighty smash. There was debris all over the road.”
Ms Aktar also read a pen portrait of her mother to the hearing, describing her as “the best mum in the world”.
“From the moment she arrived in this country in the mid-70s (from Pakistan), her presence was known and felt significantly,” she said.
“She was the most caring, loving and selfless person I knew. She had time for everyone.
“Losing our mother is the most painful and difficult thing we have ever experienced in our lives.
“To have her taken from us the way she was has been immensely traumatic for each and every one of us.”
Last year senior coroner Nicola Mundy asked South Yorkshire Police to consider whether Highways England should face corporate manslaughter charges over Mrs Begum’s death.
In February, the force said the organisation, now renamed National Highways, will not be charged after Crown Prosecution Service advice that it did not owe road users a “relevant duty of care” under the terms set out in the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.
The inquest continues.

19-year-old dolphin dies at Mirage on Las Vegas Strip
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) – A bottlenose dolphin at the Mirage’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat has died, MGM Resorts announced Friday.
According to a letter from Mirage Interim President Franz Kallao, a dolphin named Maverick died Sept. 1 following treatment for a lung infection.
Maverick was 19 years old.
“Our veterinary and animal care teams were treating and closely monitoring Maverick’s condition, which sadly took a turn for the worse in recent weeks,” Kallao said in the letter.
In his letter, Kallao notes that the property’s animal care team “works closely with marine animal experts and veterinarians to ensure our dolphins are continually monitored and receive the very best care, year-round.”
Kallao also said the “animals receive weekly physical exams by veterinarians and a weekly meeting to review all aspects related to animal welfare including veterinary, behavioral and water quality.”
“Nothing is more important than the health, safety and happiness of the animals entrusted in our care,” Kallao said.
Earlier this year, the Dolphin Habitat lost another dolphin, Bella, after she died from a gastrointestinal illness.

LANCASTER, Pa. (WHTM) — A court ruling on Pennsylvania’s License Plate law has a Midstate lawmaker drafting changes.
Last month, State Superior Court upheld the law that the frame around license plates cannot obscure any part of the plate. Not even the tourism website that may appear at the bottom. This was after a Philadelphia police officer pulled a driver over because a custom license plate frame blocked the state tourism website from view.
State Senator Scott Martin (R) of Lancaster County has said the law as written appears to have criminalized thousands of drivers overnight.
“Look around any parking lot and you will see many vehicles with custom frames surrounding their license plates, often issued by their car dealers or of their favorite sports team,” Martin said. “This decision would now mean that any one of those drivers could be pulled over with probable cause. I do not believe this was the intent of lawmakers, and how can we reasonably expect law enforcement to consistently apply this ruling in their daily activities?”
Martin has said he is planning to introduce a bill that would modify the law.

NEW YORK (AP) — With Janet Jackson resplendent in a black trouser suit on his front row and humongous hats on many of his models, Christian Siriano opened New York Fashion Week at the former townhouse of Elizabeth Taylor, rolling out sexy, slinky looks Wednesday to go with his trademark ballgowns.
He was inspired by Taylor, of course, for an Old Hollywood-infused show but told The Associated Press a slew of stylish icons were also muses: Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Bianca Jagger and Judy Garland among them.
“I was watching the girls do rehearsal and I was like, oh my God, imagine Elizabeth Taylor in her heels walking up these marble steps. How fabulous. It’s so cool to be here,” Siriano said.
Taylor lived in the six-story, French Renaissance Revival townhouse now nestled among office buildings in Midtown for several years in the 1950s during her Michael Todd era. It’s now an art space.
Siriano’s collection fit right in among the long winding staircases walked by his models. It was a bit of everything as he tweaks his business model to a more seasonless approach. It’s what his luxury customers want, he said.
Ultra-wide brim hats stole the show in black, royal blue and bright red. There was plenty of sparkle, and an asymmetrical set of huge tiered ruffle bell sleeves on one high-neck evening dress in white. One sleeve started at the shoulder and the other at the elbow.
Among his trademark show stoppers was a gown of baby blue for the skirt paired with a sparkly black spaghetti-strap top with a cinched waist and long black gloves to match. A riot of ruffles adorned a long-sleeve gold gown and he put narrow stripes in gold and black on another.
“This show really is about the return to glamour,” Siriano said. “I really wanted that. My customers are really looking for that, especially now. They were trapped for so long. It’s like, what can I wear that’s the most extravagant, fabulous thing?”
Siriano was among a handful of designers who didn’t give up on runway shows during the darkest months of the pandemic.
He has dressed them all, cementing a solid A-list fan base from Jackson herself (she shouted him out on Instagram) to Cardi B, Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama.
“I’ve wanted to dress Janet my whole life,” Siriano said. “She was everything I wanted growing up. She was it.”
When he told his mother, who usually attends his shows, that Jackson was going to be his guest, she responded: “Wow, that’s it. I don’t even have to come.”
So what’s a designer to do when he’s made his way through his bucket list?
“Janet and Madonna were big on my bucket list and I got to make them some things,” Siriano said. “Now I’m really excited about all the new Hollywood starlets. I just got to dress Sydney Sweeney a couple of times and I think she’s the most amazing actress ever.”
He’s in fittings for Monday’s Emmy Awards but was mum on exactly who he’ll be dressing. He did provide one tidbit: nominee Laura Linney for sure.
“It’s a good list,” Siriano said, “but I can’t ever tell until I watch them on the carpet.”

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that he wants Mississippi’s capital city to receive “its fair share” of federal money to repair a troubled water system that left homes and businesses without running water for several days.
Even with water flowing from taps and people again able to flush toilets this week, Jackson lacks safe drinking water. The city of 150,000 is in the sixth week of a boil-water advisory from the state health department because of concerns that low pressure could allow contaminants into the water.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan was in Jackson to meet with residents and state and local elected officials Wednesday. He touted the $1 trillion federal infrastructure law that President Joe Biden signed in November.
Mississippi is set to receive more than $4 billion from the law, with most of the money designated for highways and bridges, the White House said. The state’s allocation includes $429 million over five years to improve water systems.
“It’s our desire that the city of Jackson gets its fair share,” Regan said during a meeting with community leaders. “It’s our desire that the city of Jackson doesn’t have to live with what you all have lived with for far too long.”
Jackson’s main water-treatment plant malfunctioned in late August after torrential rain caused flooding along the Pearl River. The influx altered the quality of the raw water entering the plant from a reservoir. That slowed the treatment process, depleted supplies in water tanks and caused a dangerous drop in pressure.
But even before the rainfall, officials said some water pumps had failed and a treatment plant was using backup pumps. A rental pump was installed last week, and the system’s water pressure is back to normal.
Groups are distributing bottled water at drive-thru sites, and restaurants are bringing tanks of clean water from suburbs.
About 25% of Jackson’s residents live in poverty, and the city’s tax base has declined with a sharp decrease in population since 1980 — a change that happened along with mostly white flight that started about a decade after public schools began integrating in 1970.
Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson sat with Regan at the community meeting and toured Jackson’s main water plant with the administrator, Gov. Tate Reeves and Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba. Other members of Mississippi’s congressional delegation also participated in meetings with them about short-term and long-term solutions for the city’s water problems.
“We do know that will require all of us working together to cut through the bureaucracy,” Regan said during a news conference at Jackson State University.
Thompson pointed out during the community meeting that Regan is from North Carolina, which also has a large Black population.
“He understands the challenges, especially (for) communities of color,” said Thompson, the only Black member of Mississippi’s congressional delegation. “Under this current administration, they have taken the fact that many of these communities have been underserved by its government and tried to right the ship.”
Jackson’s water system has been fragile for years, with officials warning that widespread loss of service was possible. A cold snap in 2021 froze pipes and some water treatment equipment, leaving tens of thousands of people without running water. Similar problems happened again early this year, on a smaller scale. The EPA also told Jackson months ago that its water system violates the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
