Queen Elizabeth II saw Manchester's greatest moments and darkest days
- Published
Queen Elizabeth II visited Manchester many times during her 70-year reign.
As well as seeing moments of triumph, celebration and joy, she witnessed some of the city's darkest days.
In 2017 the Queen comforted survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing in which 22 people were killed.
She spent time at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital with young people who were seriously injured in the attack. She also thanked medical staff for their dedication and care.
The Queen played an integral role in some great Mancunian moments too.
Her Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002 included Manchester hosting the Commonwealth Games.
She declared the games open after receiving the baton from six-year-old Kirsty Howard.
The youngster was escorted by then Manchester United and England footballer David Beckham.
Eleven days later, the monarch experienced the downside of hosting a major sporting event in Manchester when the closing ceremony was drenched with rain.
The Queen had a ringside seat during Greater Manchester's regeneration - from the opening of the Metrolink tram service to the opening of the BBC's base at MediaCityUK in Salford.
She also walked along the region's most famous road - Coronation Street on the set of the ITV soap that has been a fixture of British life for the majority of the Queen's reign.

Royal rebranding: What will happen to stamps, coins, banknotes and passports?
- Published
After 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II had become an intrinsic part of our everyday lives. We're accustomed to seeing her portrait, profile and coat of arms on letters, in our loose change and on cereal boxes - so what will be different now?
All change
All 29 billion coins in circulation in the UK have the Queen's head on them. The most recent design dates from 2015, when she was 88 years old. It was the fifth coin portrait created during her reign.
The Royal Mint won't say how or when it will start issuing coins with King Charles III's head on them, but it's likely that the Queen's coins will remain in circulation for many years, and that the process to replace them will be a gradual one.
Before all British coins were updated for decimalisation in 1971, it was quite normal to find multiple monarchs on your change.
While we don't know what the King's coin portrait will look like, a coin issued in 2018 by the Royal Mint to commemorate his 70th birthday gave us a hint. And one thing that seems certain is that he will be shown facing the other way - to the left. Tradition dictates that the direction in which the monarch faces on coins must alternate for each new monarch.
Once signed off by the government, new designs will be manufactured at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, south Wales.
The Queen has appeared on all Bank of England notes since 1960 (notes issued by Scottish and Northern Irish banks do not depict the monarch). There are about 4.5 billion individual Bank of England notes worth about £80bn in circulation at the moment. and, as with coins, these will be gradually phased out.
All notes and coins will remain legal tender. The Bank of England will give lots of notice if that is to change.
Stamps and postboxes
Since 1967, all stamps issued by the Royal Mail have featured an embossed silhouette of the side profile of Queen Elizabeth II.
Royal Mail will now stop producing Queen Elizabeth II stamps - although they can still be used on letters and parcels - and will begin the process to create new ones.
The new King has featured on stamps before, but Royal Mail won't yet say what the new designs with him will look like.
As well as putting the monarch on stamps, the Royal Mail puts royal cyphers on many postboxes.
More than 60% of the UK's 115,000 postboxes carry the EIIR mark of Queen Elizabeth II - E for Elizabeth and R for Regina, which means queen. In Scotland, they feature the Scottish crown.
Outside Scotland, any new postboxes will now feature the King's cypher - but as the number of new boxes installed is quite low, it could be some time before you spot one of these.
Royal seal of approval
From tomato ketchup to packets of cereal to perfume, chances are you will have seen the Royal Arms alongside the words, "By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen" on some of your groceries or other items in your home. These are products which have been granted a Royal Warrant, meaning that the company who makes them supplies the Royal Households on a regular basis.
For the last century or so the monarch, their consort and heir have each issued their own Royal Warrants - making them grantors - and there are currently about 900 Royal Warrants held by 800 companies.
When a grantor dies, any Royal Warrants they issued become void and the company has two years to stop using the Royal Arms. (Exceptionally, warrants issued by the Queen Mother stood for five years after her death.)
The warrants Charles has issued as Prince of Wales will continue now that he is King because they go with the household, not the title.
There is an expectation that the new King will now grant his son and heir, Prince William, the ability to issue his own warrants.
Passports still valid
But it's not just money, stamps and warrants that need updating.
All British passports are issued in the name of Her Majesty and are still valid for travel, but for new passports, the wording on the inside of the front cover will be updated to His Majesty.
Police forces in England and Wales will have to change the royal cypher of Queen Elizabeth II in the centre of their helmet plates. Barristers and solicitors who have been appointed by the monarch to be Queen's Counsel will now be known as King's Counsel with immediate effect.
And finally, the national anthem will have its words changed from "God Save the Queen".
After Charles is officially proclaimed King in a formal ceremony, a public announcement will be made from the balcony at St James's Palace, including the call: "God Save the King".
Then, the national anthem will then be played with those words sung for the first time since 1952.

Queen Elizabeth II: West of England pays tribute
- Published
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II touched the hearts of many people across the world. Here in the West of England she has been described as having had "a very special gift" for making people feel at ease.
"I remember meeting her, being surprised by her piercing blue eyes and the way she stared right at you when you talked to her, as if there was no one else in the room of interest or of any matter at all."
Those were the words of Lord Lieutenant of Bristol, Peaches Golding.
As the Queen's representative in the city, Her Majesty held a special place in her heart, she said.
What enamoured her the most about the Head of State was how she could relate to anyone she met.
"Everyone that I've ever spoken to has said, 'yes, what a tremendous presence she had'.
"She focused on you, she listened to you, and when it was time to move on, turned her heel and went and spoke to someone else and created the same amazing atmosphere.
"We were all in awe and wonder at her capabilities and prowess."
Royal biographer Penny Junor from Wiltshire said: "She was funny, she was a delightful character.
"Professionally you would never have really known that because she always kept this very neutral front presence to the world, which I think really was a very clever ploy, I suspect."
Throughout the Queen's 70-year reign, she visited the West of England on many occasions.
She marked some of the biggest technological advances in the UK, indulged her love of horse racing and also made an impromptu visit to a hotel in Bristol to escape from a snowstorm.
In 1958 the Queen made the first long-distance phone call in the UK - known as subscriber trunk dialling (STD).
She opened the service with a royal announcement stating: "This is the Queen speaking from Bristol.
"In a few moments Bristol subscribers will be able to make trunk calls up to a distance of some 300 miles."
The Queen also opened the Severn Bridge on 8 September 1966.
The royal car was the first to drive directly from England to Wales over the River Severn and the River Wye.
She also visited workers in Bristol while they developed Concorde - the first supersonic passenger-carrying commercial airplane.
In 1977, the Queen visited the old county of Avon to celebrate her silver Jubilee almost 50 years ago.
When she arrived in Bath, she was showered in half a million petals.
Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, she was greeted by tens of thousands of people and was gifted a box of chocolates, as flags and bunting filled the streets.
While in 1981, the Queen had a more difficult journey to contend with when her car became stuck in a snowstorm.
To escape from the storm she sought shelter at the nearest Inn, the Cross Hands Hotel in Old Sodbury, near Bristol.
Hotel owner Robert Cadai said he would never forget how he offered her his final vacant room and cooked the Queen's supper in his flat.
"I'm glad it happened to me," he said.
"It's a nice thing for a person who comes from abroad to have experienced something like this."
A keen racing enthusiast, Her Majesty regularly visited the Cheltenham Festival in Gloucestershire.
It was a favourite pastime of hers, as was horse-riding, which she continued to do into her 90s.
Cheltenham Racecourse's former director Edward Gillespie OBE said that as well as the racing, she was always interested to learn who had cut the lawn or built the fences at the site.
"They know it doesn't happen by magic. The Queen was exactly like that, always interested, always fascinated," he said.
"I remember having a conversation with her about which way we mowed the grass.
"She said her father had a theory whether the horses should run with the nap of the grass or against the nap of the grass.
"They go faster with the nap, but if it rains it can be more slippy," he added.
The Queen's final visit to Somerset was to see the stables of champion horse racing trainer Paul Nicholls, in Ditcheat in 2019.
It was her first visit to Somerset since the 2012 Diamond Jubilee tour of the UK.
Mr Nicholls said she "loved seeing the horses and gave them all a carrot".
"She knew as much about them as we do," he said.
"She saw them run at Cheltenham and she knows what she is talking about and loved feeding them."
Author Jilly Cooper, who lives in Gloucestershire, said Her Majesty was a "wonderful example" of beauty and kindness.
"She was like a mother looking after all of us really. She had a lovely sense of humour," she said.
"She just looked after the country all that time.
"The whole nation loved her and will be heartbroken to lose her."

LONDON – The head of the Anglican church says the death of Queen Elizabeth II is a moment of enormous change for Britain and the world.
The queen – who was monarch and supreme governor of the Church of England -- died Thursday at 96 after 70 years on the throne.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says that for many people, “a part of our lives we’ve taken for granted as being permanent is no longer there.”
He says that with her death “there is an enormous shift in the world around us, in how we see it and how we understand ourselves.”

CANBERRA, Australia — Malcolm Turnbull, the leader of a failed campaign to have an Australian president replace the British monarch as Australia’s head of state and who later became prime minister, came close to tears on Friday in paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
Turnbull was chair of the Australian Republican Movement in 1999 when Australians voted at a referendum against the nation becoming a republic, severing its constitutional ties to the queen. He was prime minister between 2015 and 2018, during which time the queen gave him a photograph of herself with her husband Prince Philip.
Turnbull’s voice trembled as he recalled looking at the photo on Thursday night before he and his wife Lucy Turnbull went to bed with a sense of dread because of news from Buckingham Palace of the queen’s failing health.
“I took the portrait of the queen out and set it up and we just thought, ‘What an amazing life. What amazing leadership,’” Turnbull told Australian Broadcasting Corp.

TORONTO — Elton John paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at his concert in Toronto on Thursday night, saying he was inspired by her and is sad she is gone.
“She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace and decency and genuine caring,” John said.
“I feel very sad that that she won’t be with me anymore, but I’m glad she’s at peace,” he said. “I’m glad she’s at rest and she deserves it. She worked bloody hard.”
The singer-songwriter then performed his 1974 track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”
John was knighted by the queen in 1998, a year after the death of his friend Princess Diana. Prince Charles also anointed the musician and charity patron as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honor last year.

Condolences poured in from around the world following the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese mourned Queen Elizabeth II as the only only reigning monarch most Australians have known and the only one to ever to visit their country.
“And over the course of a remarkable seven decades, Her Majesty was a rare and reassuring constant amidst rapid change,” he said. “Through the noise and turbulence of the years, she embodied and exhibited a timeless decency and an enduring calm.”
The British monarch is Australia’s official head of state, although these days the role is considered primarily ceremonial.
President Joe Biden signed the condolence book at the British Embassy in Washington, and his wife, Jill Biden, brought a bouquet of flowers. The president was overheard telling embassy staff, “We mourn for all of you. She was a great lady.”
French President Emmanuel Macron hailed the queen’s “immutable moral authority,” her intimate knowledge of and the stability she brought “across the fluctuations and upheavals of politics, a permanence with the scent of eternity.”
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who announced this year the British commonwealth intended to become fully independent, said: “We are saddened that we will not see her light again, but we will remember her historic reign.”
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Queen Elizabeth II was “the very heart and soul of the United Kingdom” and that her passing was greatly mourned by everyone in the city-state.
Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro decreed three days of mourning and said Elizabeth "was a queen for all of us.”
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol tweeted their condolences, and Malaysia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Saifuddin Abdullah mourned the queen on Facebook as “a towering figure" dedicated to serving the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.

“I’m deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. On behalf of @NUGMyanmar and the people of Myanmar, I extend our deepest sympathies to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth,” wrote Zin Mar Aung.
Myanmar, then called Burma, gained independence from British colonial rule in 1948.
____
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The king and crown prince of Saudi Arabia have offered their condolences over the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
Statements carried early Friday in Saudi state media quoted King Salman as saying that Queen Elizabeth was “a model of leadership that will be immortalized in the history.”
He added: “We recall with appreciation the efforts of the deceased in consolidating the friendship and cooperation relations between our two friendly countries, as well as the high international status that Her Majesty enjoyed throughout the decades during which she acceded to the throne of your friendly country.”
___
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters she was awoken a little before 5 a.m. by a police officer shining a torch into her bedroom to tell her the news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Under New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements, the queen was also New Zealand’s monarch and head of state.
“The last days of the queen’s life captures who she was in so many ways,” Ardern said. “Working until the very end on behalf of the people she loved.”
Ardern said the queen was an extraordinary woman who she’d remember for her laughter. Ardern said that like many other people, she was feeling not only deep sadness but also deep gratitude.
“Here is a woman who gave her life, utterly, to the service of others. And regardless of what anyone thinks of the role of monarchies around the world, there is undeniably, I think here, a display of someone who gave everything on behalf of her people, and her people included the people of Aotearoa New Zealand.”
Ardern said New Zealand had moved into a period of official mourning, and would hold a state memorial service after the official funeral in Britain.

ATLANTA (AP) — Two deputies were killed Thursday night while serving a warrant in a suburb near Atlanta and two suspects were in custody, authorities said.
The sheriff's office in Cobb County tweeted initially that two deputies had “died in the line of duty" and that a SWAT team and other law enforcement officers remained at the scene where a suspect was barricaded. It wasn't immediately clear how it was resolved.
Sheriff Craig D. Owens later said the deputies had gotten out of their cars and were talking to the suspects when shots rang out, WSB-TV reported. The two suspected perpetrators were being held at the Cobb County Police Department for questioning, Owens said.
He said the deputies had been serving a warrant for failure to appear by theft of deception.
WSB-TV reported that people in the neighborhood reported hearing several gunshots and then seeing law enforcement officers swarm the area.
Owens said the two deputies who were killed had been with his department for more than five years.
The sheriff’s office said more information would be released later.
Sprawling Cobb County with more than 760,000 people is just northwest of Atlanta and one of Georgia's most populous counties.

For the glassmakers at iconic French tableware brand Duralex, the mornings have become a horror show. Daily updates from energy traders drop into their email inboxes, showing the asphyxiating upward climb of prices for the natural gas and electricity that power their energy-devouring business.
Before Europe's energy crisis — which took off after the COVID-19 pandemic and became a full-blown economic threat with Russia's war in Ukraine — the price charts were reassuringly stable. They have since become a terrifying succession of peaks and troughs, with Russia choking off cheap natural gas deliveries in a battle of wills with European leaders over their support for Ukraine.
For Duralex, each price spike represents another bite from the bottom line of the 77-year-old company that counts generations of French families, Mongolian yak herders, Afghan diners and African tea drinkers among worldwide users of its glasses, bowls and plates. Actor Daniel Craig drank from one its “Picardie” tumblers, with a scorpion on his wrist, when playing James Bond in “Skyfall.”
With energy costs burning through the firm's cash reserves and viability, Duralex President José-Luis Llacuna is taking radical but, he hopes, business-saving action: He's stopping production. The thunderous machines that turn incandescent blobs of molten glass into hundreds of thousands of tableware items each day will fall silent for a few months on Nov. 1.
Duralex will join a growing array of European firms that have reduced and halted production because they're hemorrhaging money on the energy needed to keep running.
“The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is look at the daily change in electricity and gas prices,” Llacuna said in an interview at the plant outside Orléans in central France.
“Needless to say, there’s an incredible amount of volatility," he added. "It's truly a rollercoaster, and the outlook for the future is a complete unknown.”
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Facing the risks of power shortages, rationing and blackouts when demand surges this winter and of an expected recession as businesses shut down, Europe is scrambling for energy alternatives, stockpiling gas and urging consumers to save. European Union energy ministers are holding emergency talks Friday on the bloc's latest proposals for alleviating the crisis.
At Duralex, the costs of heating the furnace to above 1,400 degrees Celsius (above 2,500 Fahrenheit) with roaring torrents of flaming gas and of transforming the molten glass into tableware on the production lines manned by sweating workers are set to burn through 40% of the company's revenue if it keeps producing, “which is untenable,” Llacuna said.
The production shutdown will last at least four months. The glass furnace can’t be switched off entirely because that could destroy it. Instead, it will be maintained in a hot slumber, slashing the firm’s energy use by half. The aim is to then fire it back up by the spring.
In the meantime, the 250 employees will work fewer days, with drops in pay just as inflation is gnawing at household budgets.
“It's very hard to stomach,” said Michel Carvalho, a production line crew chief who has been with the company for 17 years.
“Around the world, everyone is suffering from this war,” he said. “We're hostages. Absolutely. We're being used. Because being asked to stop work is hard. And we're not responsible for what is happening.”
Duralex will fall back on its stockpiles to keep customers supplied during the stoppage. But competitors are circling, using the production halt as an argument to try to lure away the company's customers, Llacuna said. He is knocking on government doors for financial help, speaking by phone to the French economy minister last week.
A prolonged energy crisis, Llacuna warned, could be grim.
“It must not last three years," he said. "Because then European industry will die, and that will be dramatic.”

- The Vape and Pre-Roll Bars, displaying each cartridge and pre-rolled joint out of its packaging in stunning individual display cases
- The Tuck Shop, offering a beautiful assortment of the best cannabis-infused chocolate, gummies, and cold beverages
"FIKA's name and approach are inspired by the Swedish concept of 'fika' – taking a pause in your busy day to connect with the people and things that bring you happiness," said Paola Marques, Partner, GH+A Design Studios. "We designed this new location to do exactly that: to invite shoppers to physically 'take a breather' in the middle of Canada's busiest building."

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, whose 50-year reign is now Europe’s longest, called Britain’s late Queen Elizabeth II “a towering figure among European monarchs and a great inspiration to us all.”
“We shall miss her terribly,” Margrethe said in a statement released by the Danish royal household. Elizabeth died Thursday at 96 after 70 years on the British throne.
In neighboring Sweden, King Carl XVI Gustaf said the British monarch had “an outstanding devotion and sense of duty” and Norway’s King Harald said Elizabeth devotedly “accompanied the British people through joys and sorrows, in good times and bad times.”
Finland’s President Sauli Niinisto said Elizabeth “witnessed and shaped history like few others. Her sense of duty and devotion to service are an example to us all.”
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said that “a historic era and a long life in the service of Great Britain has come to an end.” While his counterpart in Sweden, Magdalena Andersson said “she has been there, as an admired representative and symbol of Great Britain and as head of state for a range of Commonwealth countries.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called Elizabeth “a unifying figure for her nation and the world. She provided a sense of stability during changing times.”

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s new king prepared to meet with the prime minister Friday and address a nation mourning Queen Elizabeth II, the only British monarch most of the world had known and a force of stability in a volatile age.
The country began a 10-day mourning period Friday, with bells tolling around Britain and 96 gun salutes planned in London – one for each year of the queen’s long life. People around the globe gathered at British embassies to pay homage to the queen, who died Thursday in Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
King Charles III, who spent much of his 73 years preparing for the role, takes the throne in an era of uncertainty for both his country and the monarchy itself.
On his first full day of duties Friday, he is expected to return to London, meet Prime Minister Liz Truss, appointed just days earlier, and deliver a speech to the nation at a time when many Britons are preoccupied with an energy crisis, the soaring cost of living, the war in Ukraine and the fallout from Brexit.
Hundreds of people arrived through the night to leave flowers outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, the monarch’s London home, or simply to pause and reflect.
Finance worker Giles Cudmore said the queen had “just been a constant through everything, everything good and bad.”
“She’s just been the foundation of my life, the country,” he said.
Everyday politics was put on hold, with lawmakers set to pay tribute to the monarch in Parliament over two days, starting at noon. Many sporting and cultural events were canceled as a mark of respect, and some businesses — including Selfridges department store and the Legoland amusement park — shut their doors.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said the queen’s death marked an “enormous shift” for Britain and the world.
“A part of our lives we’ve taken for granted as being permanent is no longer there,” he said.
Elizabeth was Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and a symbol of constancy in a turbulent era that saw the decline of the British empire and disarray in her own family. Members of the royal family had rushed to her side at the family’s summer residence in Balmoral after her health took a turn for the worse.
On Friday, Truss and other senior ministers are expected to attend a remembrance service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Charles, who became the monarch immediately upon his mother’s death, will then be formally proclaimed king at a special ceremony Saturday.
After a vigil in Edinburgh, the queen’s coffin will be brought to London, and she will lie in state for several days before her funeral in Westminster Abbey.
As the second Elizabethan Age came to a close Thursday, the BBC played the national anthem, “God Save the Queen,” over a portrait of the monarch in full regalia as her death was announced. The flag over Buckingham Palace was lowered to half-staff. And in the one of first of many shifts to come, the anthem played Friday was “God Save the King.”
The impact of Elizabeth’s loss will be huge and unpredictable for Britain. She helped stabilize and modernize the monarchy across decades of enormous social change, but its relevance in the 21st century has often been called into question.
The public’s abiding affection for the queen had helped sustain support for the monarchy during the family scandals, but Charles is nowhere near as popular.
Charles called his mother’s death “a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” adding: “I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
The changing of the guard comes at a fraught moment for Britain — and just after a brand-new prime minister took the reins.
Truss, appointed by the queen just 48 hours earlier, called Elizabeth “the rock on which modern Britain was built.”
Some people gathered outside Buckingham Palace wept when officials carried a notice confirming the queen’s death to the wrought-iron gates on Thursday. Hundreds gathered in the rain, and mourners laid heaps of colorful bouquets at the gates.
World leaders extended condolences and paid tribute to the queen.
In Canada, where the British monarch is the country’s head of state, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s eyes were red with emotion as he saluted her “wisdom, compassion and warmth.” In India, once the “jewel in the crown” of the British empire, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted: “She personified dignity and decency in public life. Pained by her demise.”
U.S. President Joe Biden called her a “stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States.”
Since Feb. 6, 1952, Elizabeth had reigned over a Britain that rebuilt from a destructive and financially exhausting war and lost its empire; joined the European Union and then left it; and made the painful transition into the 21st century.
She endured through 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Truss, becoming an institution and an icon — a reassuring presence even for those who ignored or loathed the monarchy.
She became less visible in her final years as age and frailty curtailed many public appearances. But she remained at the center of national life as Britain celebrated her Platinum Jubilee with days of parties and pageants in June.
On Tuesday, she presided at a ceremony at Balmoral Castle to accept the resignation of Boris Johnson as prime minister and appoint Truss as his successor.

Honeybees like northern Ontario
About 45 minutes south of North Bay in Restoule, you will find Board's Honey Farm and it goes all the way back to the 1970s.
The six-acre farm has grown into a well-known retailer.
"As soon as people knew that we had honey, it just took off from there. People were wanting us to sell them honey," said owner Jaimie Board.
"It started small, and now we've added many, many products ... We have over 350 different skews on our website. It's quite a large business."
The farm has 12 bee 'yards' where thousands of bees produce honey for most of the year. Each yard has 20-25 hives.
"They have electric fencing for bear protection, and they're all at different farms," Board said.
"We have great partnerships with landowners all the way to the far end of Chisholm, all the way in to Powassan, Restoule, Nipissing and Golden Valley. And now I have new yards in Commanda."
While Board's Honey is known as a commercial bee keeper, there are also small bee keepers in the region like Kathy Hogan, who has a bee yard in Powassan.
"As to the success of being a bee keeper, it's just perseverance," said Hogan.
"You will have good years and you will have bad years and just have to learn, and persevere. It's always a learning game, there's always new things happening and new things to talk about."
Hogan said there are pros and cons to bee farming in the north but said honeybees thrive living in the open fields.
"It's a clean environment," she said. "You don't have the large amounts of monoculture like you do down south, so that's important to the bees."
"They like a whole bunch of variety," Hogan added.
"They like a really nice hay field and Powassan and the north have lots of those available."
Bees live for six weeks in the summer and can survive the whole winter in their hives and underground.

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.

MALMO, Sweden (AP) — With election day in Sweden approaching, Joakim Sandell, the leader of the Social Democratic Party in the city of Malmo, pulled on a jacket with his party’s rose emblem and headed out to ring doorbells and urge people to vote.
Many people in the Mollevangen district, an ethnically diverse neighborhood with roots in the labor movement, support Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson’s Social Democrats. But Sunday’s election is expected to be very close and the center-left party is fighting for every last vote as it faces a strong challenge from the right.
Sandell, who is running for reelection to the national parliament, the 349-seat Riksdag, began his campaign thinking voters would want to discuss health care after the COVID-19 pandemic, which took a heavy toll among the elderly. He also expected them to bring up NATO, after the historically non-aligned Scandinavian nation — which hasn’t fought a war since the Napoleonic era — decided to join the alliance after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.
But Swedish voters are mostly focused on rising energy costs in the wake of the war in Ukraine and violent crime at home.
Andersson, who became Sweden’s first female prime minister less than a year ago, enjoys high approval ratings. Her party is a defender of Sweden’s generous welfare state but its support has been declining for years.
“We lost many, many votes in the last 20 years. We’ve been struggling on our way down,” said Ines Pentmo, a 62-year-old nurse who was canvasing with Sandell this week in Malmo. She was welcomed in Sweden after fleeing Chile’s dictatorship with her family in the 1970s and doesn’t want Sweden to abandon its traditional openness to refugees.
“The threat is very strong from the right,” she said.
The Sweden Democrats, a right-wing populist party that takes a hard line against immigration, is on the rise as other parties move closer to its approach. The prime minister herself campaigned on promises to increase the police force.
The Sweden Democratic party was founded by people from the neo-Nazi movement decades ago. They party has sought a more moderate course but many Swedes remain wary of that shift. When the party first won seats in parliament in 2010, other parties refused to work with them.
But polls now suggest that the party could get its best result yet with around 20% of the vote, which gives it a chance to overtake the Moderates, a traditional center-right party, to become the dominant party on the right.
If a right-wing bloc of four parties emerges ahead of the left-wing bloc of four parties, the Sweden Democrats would gain unprecedented power. Recent polls show the race as too close to predict.
The Sweden Democrats are “now considered a possible party to cooperate with when it comes to government formation. This was not the case in previous elections, but things have changed,” said Anders Sannerstedt, a political scientist at Lund University in southern Sweden.
The catalyst for this shift came in 2015, when large numbers of migrants and asylum-seekers from Syria and Afghanistan overwhelmed the county’s resources, Sannerstedt argued. The country of 10 million people took in a record 163,000 refugees that year.
The Sweden Democrats accuse Andersson and her left-wing allies of not doing enough to stop the shootings and explosions that have taken place largely in underprivileged neighborhoods that have many people from immigrant backgrounds who have not assimilated into Swedish society.
The violence has lately been spreading. In one high-profile case, a 15-year-old boy fatally shot a gang member inside an upscale shopping center in Malmo in August. A woman nearby was injured.
Mattias Sigfridsson, Malmo’s deputy police chief, said there’s actually been a decrease in violent crimes in recent years.
“But of course … when the crimes are very spectacular, when you shoot somebody in a shopping center in the middle of day” or when there are detonations, it creates feeling of insecurity for everyone, he said.
Even in the nearby town of Lund, a peaceful cobblestoned university town near Malmo, safety is a key concern. Victoria Tiblom of the Swedish Democrats in Lund, who was out meeting voters at a town square, was pleased that other parties are now speaking more openly about crime in immigrant neighborhoods, something long viewed as a taboo.
“You can only solve the problems in a no-go zone if you talk about them. And we feel like a lot of the other parties, they have just neglected the problems. Same thing with immigration,” she said. “So we have brought a lot of problems to the surface so we can talk about them and also solve them.”
Despite the Sweden Democrats’ attempts to clean up their image, party members sometimes still are accused of racism. One lawmaker recently tweeted a photo of a Stockholm metro train along with the message: “Welcome to the return train. You hold a one-way ticket. Next stop, Kabul!”
In a separate incident, a party employee sent an email encouraging people to celebrate the Nazi invasion of Poland 83 years ago on Sept. 1.
Karolin Lunden, a 40-year-old surgeon, said she always voted conservative. But as she visited the campaign stands in Lund with her 8-year-old daughter, she said she was voting for the left this year due to the willingness of other conservative parties to work with the Sweden Democrats.
“I don’t want them to have any influence,” she said.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — The World Health Organization on Thursday said it is launching a $1.5 billion campaign, hopefully including a new vaccine, to eliminate outbreaks of bacterial meningitis across Africa by 2030.
Meningitis vaccinations for more than 50 million children in Africa have been delayed amid the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting fears of a resurgence of the deadly disease.
In “a race against time,” WHO regional director for Africa Matshidiso Moeti said that “a next generation” vaccine against meningitis will be rolled out in 26 African countries most affected by the disease.
She said WHO hopes to authorize the vaccine by the first quarter of 2023, which would then enable donors to buy it for Africa.
Moeti said the vaccine, “has shown in clinical trials to be safe and effective against multiple forms of meningitis.”
The vaccine could be rolled out next year and administered in widespread drives until 2030, when the WHO hopes to have stopped bacterial meningitis outbreaks in the continent of 54 countries and 1.3 billion people, she said.
WHO estimated the plan could save more than 140,000 people every year — but that depends on the shot’s availability and health officials being able to administer it.
Although no new cases of meningitis A have been recorded in the past five years on the continent due to a robust vaccination program, the outbreak of the COVID -19 pandemic and attendant restrictions has left “hundreds of millions” of Africans at risk, said Moeti.
Meningitis had “somewhat dropped off the radar” but could now take “an enormous toll on our countries, with COVID-19 threatening some of the extensive gains that had been made in the past,” she said during a weekly briefing.
WHO says its reports show that meningitis control activities were reduced by 50% in 2020 compared to 2019 before the COVID-19 outbreak in Africa, although “a slight improvement” was recorded in 2021.
Children are most threatened according to WHO data that shows about half of meningitis cases and deaths occur in children under 5 years of age.
More than 350 million people in 24 high-risk African countries received jabs of the vaccine since 2010, until the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic slowed down progress.
Meningitis is a serious infection of the membranes protecting the brain and spinal cord, according to WHO. It is caused by “many different pathogens” that include fungi, viruses and bacteria. Bacterial meningitis is the most deadly, according to the WHO.
Carriers can spread the disease through respiratory or throat fluids via close and prolonged contact like kissing, sneezing or coughing or living close to an infected person.
Meningitis has the potential to cause epidemics and it can lead to death within 24 hours, while one in five patients are left with lifelong disability after infection, according to the WHO.
Symptoms include headache, a stiff neck, sudden onset of fever, nausea or vomiting, feeling drowsy or confused, or developing a sudden dislike of bright light, according to the WHO.

A Missouri boarding school already under scrutiny amid physical and sexual abuse allegations may soon be shut down, following a judge’s ruling.
Cedar County Circuit Judge David Munton signed an order Wednesday night to close Agape Boarding School in Stockton after the Missouri attorney general’s office and the state Department of Social Services filed petitions citing evidence that someone on the state registry for child abuse and neglect was actively working there.
But early Thursday, Munton stated in a court document that before closing the school he wanted the sheriff to confirm that the employee is still working at Agape. Officials have not said whether that’s the case, and a hearing originally scheduled for Thursday to decide Agape’s fate was postponed until Monday.
“Agape’s employment of a staff member who is listed on the state’s Child Abuse/Neglect Central Registry presents an immediate health and safety concern for the children residing at Agape,” the petition from Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office stated. “This new development is sadly consistent with the dark pattern of behavior at Agape previously exposed by the Attorney General’s Office and DSS.”
Agape’s lawyer, John Schultz, said the school remains open. The judge noted in Missouri’s online court filing system that the state and Agape agreed that two Children’s Division workers will have access “to observe the children there” until the hearing occurs.
“My Office has continued to monitor and investigate this situation and when we learned that there was a clear violation of the law, we took swift and decisive action,” Schmitt said in a statement. “We have worked closely with DSS to put into place a Court ordered plan to allow constant on-site monitoring of the children at Agape by DSS to ensure their safety until the hearing is held.”
Munton’s order, if carried out, would require the removal of all 63 boys at Agape, and require assessments of their health, safety and well-being.
Allegations of physical and sexual abuse at Agape and nearby Christian boarding school Circle of Hope Girls’ Ranch prompted a state law last year requiring stricter oversight of such facilities. Among other things, the new law allows state or local authorities to petition the court for closure of a facility if there is believed to be an immediate health or safety threat to the children.
Last year, Agape’s longtime doctor, David Smock, was charged with child sex crimes and five employees were charged with low-level abuse counts. Schmitt’s office contended that 22 workers should have been charged, and with more serious crimes. But in Missouri, only the local prosecutor can file charges, and Cedar County Prosecuting Attorney Ty Gaither has said no additional employees would be charged.
Meanwhile, the husband-and-wife founders of Circle of Hope, Boyd and Stephanie Householder, face a combined 99 charges that include child abuse and neglect, sex crimes and other counts. The school was ordered shut down in 2020 amid the investigation.
Several lawsuits filed on behalf of former students also have named Agape and Circle of Hope.

Olympic gold medallist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra on Thursday achieved yet another historic feat as he became the first Indian to win the prestigious Diamond League Finals title in Zurich. He began with a foul but jumped to the top spot with a throw of 88.44m — his fourth career best — in his second attempt, and that turned out to be his winning effort. He had 88.00m, 86.11m, 87.00m and 83.60m in his next four throws. Olympic silver medallist Jakub Vadlejch of Czech Republic finished second with a best throw of 86.94m which he registered in his fourth attempt. Julian Weber of Germany was third with a best of 83.73m.
The 24-year-old Indian superstar is now the Olympic champion, World Championships silver medallist and Diamond League champion, all of which he achieved in 13 months. He won the Olympic gold on August 7 last year in Tokyo. This season, he produced 88m-plus throws six times, and he holds the national record of 89.94m, which he achieved this season. Chopra also ended his international season with a history-scripting performance. The Diamond League Finals can be considered as the most prestigious competition outside of Olympics and World Championships.
It was Chopra's third appearance in the Diamond League Finals. He finished seventh and fourth respectively in 2017 and 2018. Chopra was also awarded a Diamond Trophy, USD 30,000 prize money and a wild card for the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary. He, however, has already qualified for the World Championships as his Lausanne-leg winning throw breached the 85.20m qualifying mark.
The Diamond League encompasses 32 Diamond Disciplines, following a championship style model. Athletes earn points at the 13-series meet to qualify for the final of their respective disciplines. Chopra had made a spectacular return from a one-month injury lay-off by winning the Lausanne-leg of the Diamond League series on August 26 and qualifying for the Finals in Zurich. He became the first Indian to clinch a Diamond League meet title in Lausanne with his third career-best throw of 89.08m.
He had missed the Birmingham Commonwealth Games (July 28 to August 8) due to a minor groin injury he had suffered during his silver-winning performance in the World Championships in USA in July.
The six-man field in Zurich was without world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada, who is recovering from injuries after he was assaulted inside a boat in his country last month.
With Thursday's win, Chopra has beaten the 31-year-old Vadlejch for the fifth time since winning gold in the Tokyo Olympic Games in August last year. Vadlejch was sixth and fourth when Chopra finished second in Paavo Nurmi Games (June 14) and Stockholm Diamond League (June 30). While Chopra won silver in World Championships in Eugene, Vadlejch clinched a bronze before the pair again clashed in Lausanne on August 26.

Kirtland at West Geauga
What: CVC Chagrin Division game
When: 7 p.m., Sept. 9
Where: Howell Field
Records: Kirtland 3-0, West Geauga 1-2
Last week: Kirtland def. Beachwood, 52-6, West Geauga def. Parma, 20-6
For the record: This game could be a quickie, considering how much Coach Tiger LaVerde’s Hornets and Coach Matt Rosati’s Wolverines lean on the running game, which keeps the clock moving. … Kirtland has, as usual, been a verifiable hammer house through three weeks, outscoring the opposition, 108-14. There is no real bell-cow back — at least not yet — for the Hornets, with Tommy Gogolin, Philip LaVerde, Rocco Alfieri and others all able to run the rock behind the George Prusock-led line. … West Geauga is led by Justin Artino’s 233 yards in the rushing game. First-year QB Finn Keenan is going to be a good one. He has thrown a pair of touchdown passes thus far. The key for the Wolverines will be defense and keeping Kirtland from grinding the ball down the field all night with their vaunted running attack.

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.
Ezekiel Kelly, 19, a violent felon who was released early from prison this year, was taken into custody at around 9 p.m. in the Memphis neighborhood of Whitehaven, police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph said.
Memphis Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said during a news conference early Thursday that four people were killed and three others were wounded in seven shootings and at least two carjackings.
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.
Police then 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. In one video, he casually spoke to the camera before opening the door to a store and then immediately shooting at someone with what appeared to be a pistol.
Three more shootings and two carjackings followed. 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 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, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said.
“This is no way for us to live and it is not acceptable,” the mayor said. “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.”
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.”
Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, a fellow Democrat, was elected in August after voicing his opposition to the truth in sentencing law, arguing it does not reduce crime nor help incarcerated people rehabilitate, and drives up Tennessee’s prison budget.
“People are frightened, people are angry. In times like this, it’s sometimes hard for people to know what to do,” Mulroy said at the news conference. “I can tell one thing I’m going to do. I’m going to pray. I’m going to pray for the victims and their families. I’m going to pray for the victims and their families. I’m also going to say a prayer of thanks for law enforcement who acted superbly.”
He added that repeat violent offenders “need a strong response,” and “that’s precisely what they’ll get from this DA’s office.”

LONDON — British sports were holding a day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, with high-profile golf, cricket and horse racing events canceled Friday as a mark of respect and the Premier League meeting to discuss whether to call off games scheduled for the weekend.
“We remain hopeful of restarting at some stage over the weekend,” the tour said Friday in a statement, adding that it would be reviewing “protocol guidance from Buckingham Palace” while also aligning with the decisions made by other sporting events in Britain.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has already announced that there would be no play on Friday in the third and deciding test between England and South Africa at the Oval. There was no update on whether play would be resuming over the weekend.
Other events called off included the third day of horse racing’s St. Leger festival in Doncaster — horse racing was the queen's favorite sport — and cycling’s Tour of Britain, which also canceled the final two stages of the race scheduled for the weekend.
Soccer matches in the English Football League — the three leagues below the Premier League — and in the Scottish lower league will not be played Friday and matches scheduled to be played in Northern Ireland over the weekend were also canceled.
The Premier League had not yet decided its position, with a meeting being held between the clubs on Friday morning. Factors involved in any decision were likely to include whether holding matches would use up police resources, the desire of broadcasters and the mood of the public.
There is little room in the schedule of this World Cup-affected season to fit in postponed fixtures.

High conflict occurs in a relationship when hostility becomes its primary feature. Divorce lawyers first used the term to describe their most painstaking cases, according to New York Times bestselling author Amanda Ripley in her book, "High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out."
Ripley points out that the phenomenon plaguing these couples can also wreak havoc on a larger scale, for example, between contending political parties, contentious ethnic or religious groups, or international rivals. Wherever there is a perception of “us against them,” the potential for high conflict arises.
Hostility between contentious groups is nothing new. The modern consequences of these conflicts, however, are becoming more and more catastrophic. Rather than escalating hostility, cooperation is necessary to address looming problems.
Ripley casts a wide net to find examples of people and institutions who have employed helpful strategies to keep conflict at a minimum. The Baha’i community was one featured in her survey.
The Baha’i Faith places great emphasis on unity. Baha’is strive to interact in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship with people of all faiths and backgrounds.
Partisan politics, by its very nature, is contrary to the spirit of unity. Baha’is avoid it.
There is no clergy in the Baha’i Faith. Instead, the community is administered by the Baha’is themselves, through democratically elected bodies called assemblies consisting of nine members. The election is conducted annually by secret ballot. In contrast to partisan political elections, Baha’i elections are held without nominations and electioneering.
Decision making at Baha’i meetings is through loving consultation — a method free of wrangling and argument. For example, once an individual offers an idea, Baha’is understand that the idea no longer “belongs” to the individual but rather to the group, and all members including the proposer of the idea, are free to critique it, to accept it, modify it, or reject it.
The final decision is made by consensus, or if necessary, majority vote. Whatever is agreed upon is to be supported by all and not undermined by the minority.
Living in an environment that is free of high conflict is important to us all. I invite you to read Amanda Ripley’s book, "High Conflict," to learn more about the Baha’i Faith, and to explore the ways in which humanity can learn to prevent high conflict. Unity matters!

If you're trying to access blocked websites on your school's Wi-Fi network for legitimate reasons -- or to increase your privacy while browsing on campus -- you need a well-tested virtual private network that can overcome tight network restrictions while covering your tracks. Whether you're using an Android, Windows, iPhone or MacOS device, the best VPNs protect your privacy by creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and the website you're trying to access. This tunnel prevents your internet service provider from being able to see which sites you're visiting, and often it does the same for school network administrators.
Not all VPNs are created equal. And not all VPNs are meant to serve the same needs. Some VPNs are better suited for critical privacy needs, like researching topics about private health conditions on socially conservative campuses. Other VPNs are suited for fast streaming of international media. Still others are more geared toward convenient gaming and torrenting. The stakes can be high and your safety is paramount. So, before you decide which VPN is the best for your needs, first consider your privacy level: Are you a critical VPN user or casual VPN user?
It's also important to keep in mind that there may be some limits to the privacy VPNs currently provide to MacOS and iOS users. Recent independent research has emerged suggesting that iOS (and some MacOS) users' browsing and internet data may be sent to Apple despite the protections offered by an encrypted VPN tunnel. We will continue to update our recommendations as more information and research surface around this issue.
Once you know your needs, you can consider your budget. The top two choices below have withstood a battery of independent tests from us and we found them to be the fastest and least likely to leak. And the second choice, Surfshark, is one of the least expensive VPNs we've seen. Our third pick, IPVanish, may be handy for college or high school students who need more configuration options and more customizable features.
Here are the best VPNs we've tested in 2022 for school Wi-Fi.
Read more: Best Cheap VPN for September 2022
ExpressVPN
Fastest, proven privacy
- Simple, fast, effective apps
- Number of servers: 3,000-plus in 160 locations across 94 countries
- 2022 testing: Zero data leaks and less than 2% internet speed loss
- Country/jurisdiction: British Virgin Islands
- Three months free with one-year plan, plus a free year of Backblaze cloud backup (limited-time offer)
ExpressVPN is currently the fastest VPN we've tested in 2022, causing us to lose less than 2% of our total internet speeds. Its apps for iOS and Android are designed with a streamlined approach aimed at connecting fast without a fuss. A single button on its landing screen directs you to connect quickly, with the only accompanying option a drop-down server location selector with your fastest nearby city selected by default.
ExpressVPN's other options -- its security and privacy tools, account and settings options, and support page -- are all kept neatly tucked away under a garden variety three-bar icon in the screen's top left corner. And they're worth checking into. ExpressVPN has included an on-board IP address checker, along with two leak testers and a password generator.
In the past year, ExpressVPN increased its independent third-party audit count, published details about its TrustedServer deployment process, joined the i2Coalition to call for improved VPN industry ethics, and released an open source Lightway encryption protocol.
All of our top-rated VPNs have wide compatibility across platforms and operating systems, but ExpressVPN's collection of setup guides, detailed FAQs and troubleshooting articles give it a clear advantage for users. So does its 24/7 customer support, and its no-questions-asked, 30-day money back guarantee.
The company has been in business since 2009, and ExpressVPN has a substantial network of more than 3,000 RAM-only servers spread across 160 locations in 94 countries. ExpressVPN's best plan offers five simultaneous connections for $100 a year (which includes three extra months, for a limited-time deal totaling 15 months of service). You can also opt for a $13 monthly plan, or pay $60 for six months.
Read our deep dive: ExpressVPN Review 2022: Top Speeds and Competitive Transparency Efforts
Surfshark
Blazing fast, least expensive
- Number of servers: 3,200-plus
- Number of server locations: 65
- Jurisdiction: British Virgin Islands
- $2.49 a month (82% discount) for a two-year plan plus two months free
While Surfshark's network is smaller than some, the VPN service makes up for that on features and speed. Surfshark and NordVPN announced a merger in February, continuing a trend of consolidation in the VPN industry. Although they're now sister companies, each VPN runs a separate network. And Surfshark's is usually less expensive.
Let's start off with the biggest feature it offers: unlimited device support. If you want to run your entire home or office on Surfshark's VPN, you don't have to worry about how many devices you have on or connected. It also offers anti-malware, ad-blocking and tracker-blocking as part of its software.
And it's fast. With more than 3,200 servers in 65 countries, we lost less than 17% of average internet speed during our most recent speed tests. That's faster than the 27% speed loss we saw in previous tests, and pushes it ahead of ExpressVPN to be the current front-runner in our speed comparisons.
100% of those servers are optimized for torrenting. And while it's not the best VPN for torrenting (port forwarding is limited), Surfshark's obfuscation and automatic killswitch still make it competitive for peer-to-peer sharing.
Surfshark received generally high marks when its Chrome and Firefox extensions were audited for privacy by German security firm Cure 53 (PDF link of full report), though that audit was commissioned by Surfshark.
The company has a solid range of app support, running on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Fire TV and routers. Additional devices such as game consoles can be configured for Surfshark via DNS settings. We particularly like the feature that allows you to whitelist certain apps and websites to automatically bypass the VPN. For some business uses, this can be critically important.
Surfshark also offers three special modes designed for those who want to get around restrictions and more carefully hide their online footsteps. Camouflage Mode masks your VPN activity so your ISP doesn't know you're using a VPN. Multihop jumps your connection through multiple countries to hide your trail. Finally, NoBorders Mode "allows [you] to successfully use Surfshark in restrictive regions." Just be careful. Doing any of these three things could be illegal in your country and could result in severe penalties. During our testing, we didn't see a single IP address or DNS leak, and had no trouble accessing Netflix.
Surfshark's cheapest introductory offer is $2.30 a month for its two-year plan. With that plan, you lock in for an initial term of 26 months at $60, but the subscription then renews annually at that same $60 rate. But given how rapidly things are changing in the VPN industry, we discourage people from locking in with a single provider for more than a year at a time. If you don't want to commit to that initial 26-month term, you can get a 12-month plan for $4 a month, or about $48 for the first year. That plan also then renews at $60 for any subsequent years of service. The month-by-month plan doesn't include any discount and is priced at $13 a month. Definitely take advantage of its generous 30-day trial to decide if you like this service (and if you choose the two-year plan, maybe set a reminder in 23 months to see if you can talk Surfshark into a continued discount rate).
IPVanish
Budget and torrent friendly, customizable
- Number of servers: 1,600-plus in 75-plus locations
- Number of server locations: 75-plus
- Number of simultaneous connections: Unlimited
- Country/jurisdiction: US
- $4 a month (65% discount) for the first year of service
A big win for IPVanish is its fun, configurable interface, which makes it an ideal client for those who are interested in learning how to understand what a VPN does under the hood. With a bevy of switches controlling things like the kill switch, split tunneling, VPN protocol and LAN connection allowance, IPVanish is an app that offers more options to tweak as needed when trying to get past a school network.
IPVanish has long been geared toward peer-to-peer traffic and is a solid choice for torrenters who are looking for a VPN that comes with a SOCKS5 proxy.
With its newly redesigned apps for Windows and Android, IPVanish manages to pack the same extensive suite of digital knobs and dials into a refreshingly clean mobile interface to impressive effect. Its multiplatform flexibility is also ideal for people focused on finding a Netflix-friendly VPN.
While IPVanish isn't the fastest VPN, the 58% speed loss we measured in our most recent speed tests is about on par with most VPN providers. However, we noticed that IPVanish's Quick Connect feature doesn't always connect you to the best available server, so you may need to optimize your speeds by connecting manually to a server showing a lighter load by selecting the Locations option in the client.
Charging $11 for its monthly plan, IPVanish is trying to move you toward its yearly program, which costs $48 for the first year, but then jumps to $90 for subsequent years of service. The provider offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, but only if you're on the yearly plan -- which could be a disappointment to anyone who bought a monthly subscription and decided they didn't like it.
That said, the company gets kudos for allowing unlimited simultaneous connections. We also liked its connection kill-switch feature, a must for anyone serious about protecting their privacy while surfing.

FAQ
Which is the best free VPN for school?
None of them. Seriously, free VPNs have real limitations. While there are plenty of excellent free security and privacy apps online -- and while CNET is always hunting for the best freebies -- VPNs sadly aren't among them. Because they require major physical infrastructure and hardware, safe and reliable VPNs cost companies a lot of money to operate and secure. As a result, free VPNs are almost always malware-laden data snoops. The exceptions are those VPNs, like ProtonVPN, which offer free (often speed-limited) service tiers beside their premium tiers. The other option we recommend for people who can't afford a VPN but need online privacy is to temporarily test-drive our secure recommendations and take advantage of their cancellation periods and money-back guarantees.
There is some good news: The burgeoning VPN market is hypercompetitive right now, so prices for even the best VPNs regularly drop to less than $15 a month, with some offering annual deals around $40. Check out our quick list of budget-savvy VPNs to find one in your price range.
Does everything I use on campus need a VPN?
If your goal is to protect all your personal data from your school network's prying eyes then, yes, you want a VPN on whatever you are using. If you're in a shared dorm or on-campus apartment, that means having a VPN to protect your laptop, your MacBook, your phone, your Xbox and your smart TV. Often this can be done by installing the VPN directly on your local router.
If your goal is to use a VPN to gain access to streaming services which have been made unavailable in your country for whatever reason, you want a VPN on whatever device you are using to access those streaming services. This could be as simple as a VPN for your Chrome browser or setting up a VPN for your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Whatever your reason for wanting a VPN, it's usually a good idea to have it set up and ready to go on as many of your web-connected devices as possible.
Are VPNs legal at school?
VPNs are perfectly legal to use in most countries. There's nothing wrong with taking steps to protect your privacy online, and you shouldn't have to worry that using a VPN as part of that process will get you in any kind of legal trouble.
However, there are countries where VPNs are either banned or outright illegal. If you're using a VPN in a country like China, Iran, Oman, Russia, Turkmenistan, UAE or Belarus, you may find yourself in legal trouble. The irony here is that these are the countries where internet censorship and surveillance are most common. In those countries, you'll need to make sure you use a VPN that provides strong obfuscation so your VPN traffic is disguised as ordinary HTTPS traffic, meaning government entities won't even know you're using a VPN in the first place.
One important reminder: VPNs are legal in most places, but engaging in illegal activity online is still illegal regardless of whether you're using a VPN.
It's also important to consult your school's handbook and any other rules for using your campus' internet network. A VPN may be legal to use in most countries, but some campuses may individually ban their use. Be sure to know your risks and rules before using a VPN on a network you don't own.

Dewayne Tunstall had aspirations of running a food truck and planned to name it "EBE," inspired by the phrase he lived his life by: "Everybody eats," his friend Marcus Cash told CNN affiliate WMC.
But in the early hours of Wednesday, Tunstall was shot and killed while visiting Cash's house -- becoming the first victim in a violent shooting spree that gripped the city of Memphis until the suspect was arrested later that night.
The shooting rampage came just days after the body of Eliza Fletcher, a Memphis teacher who was kidnapped last Friday and murdered, was found. The string of deadly attacks across the city over the past week have elicited rage and fear from the city's leaders, who say the violence is unacceptable.
The suspect, 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly, is set to appear in court Friday to face a first-degree murder charge, though officials say several more felony charges are being considered.
Kelly, also known as "Zeek Huncho," is accused of shooting Tunstall before 1 a.m. on Wednesday, police said, before allegedly setting off on a series of other shootings across the city that later afternoon, which left four people dead and three others injured. The citywide search for him prompted a shelter-in-place order for part of the city and temporary suspension of bus and trolley services in the area.
Officers responded to the first afternoon shooting at 4:38 p.m. and found a man in his car with multiple gunshot wounds, police said. Minutes later, police said they found a woman at a different location with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Kelly was allegedly streaming on Facebook Live when he opened fire inside a store more than an hour later, according to Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn "C.J." Davis. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man who had been shot and he was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
According to police, officers then responded to three more locations, where they found a man and two women who had been shot. The man was brought to a hospital in non-critical condition, Davis said, but both women died. The gunman allegedly stole an SUV from one of the women, she said.
After learning that Kelly carjacked a person at gunpoint and took off in the victim's Dodge Challenger, the car was spotted within minutes on I-55, police said. After a high-speech car chase, Kelly was arrested and two weapons were visible in the car when he was taken into custody, Davis said.
While the motive in the attacks is still unclear, the city of Memphis must now recover from the violent rampage on several of its community members.
Tunstall's friends remember him as a young father who had ambitious dreams and a generous spirit.
"He was so sweet. He wanted to leave here. He wanted to make it. He wanted to make it in his music. He pushed all his friends to do better," Tunstall's friend Princess Onwubiko told CNN affiliate WHBQ.
Mayor decries suspect's early release from jail
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland shared his "deepest sympathy" for the victims and their loves and condemned the violent attacks in a statement Wednesday night, arguing that they could have been preventable if not for holes in the criminal justice system.
"I am angry for them, and I'm angry for our citizens who had to shelter in place for their own safety until this suspect was caught. This is no way for us to live and it is not acceptable," Strickland said.
Kelly was released from prison in March after serving 11 months of a three-year sentence for aggravated assault. He had initially faced more serious charges in a 2020 case in Shelby County, including attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and using a firearm with intent to commit a dangerous felony, court records show, but he only pleaded guilty to the lesser aggravated assault charge.
"If Mr. Kelly served his full 3-year sentence, he would still be in prison today and 4 of our fellow citizens would still be alive," Strickland said.
In his statement, the mayor urged that "these evil actions show why truth in sentencing is a must," referencing a new law in Tennessee that will require those convicted of some violent crimes to carry out their full prison sentence.
CNN has reached out to the Shelby County Public Defender for comment.

How Britain will mourn Queen's death: King Charles to address the nation within hours before thousands will pay their respects to Her Majesty as she lies in state before funeral which is expected on Monday, September 19
The Queen died aged 96 yesterday and King Charles III is now the new monarch. Here is the day-by-day account of what is expected to happen next, leading up to the Queen's funeral expected on September 19:
Day of Death
Yesterday would traditionally have been D-Day or D+0 in the plans for the aftermath of the Queen's death, codenamed London Bridge.
But the announcement came late in the day - at around 6.30pm yesterday - meaning plans have been shifted a day to allow the complex arrangements to be put in place, meaning D+0 will be considered today.
The new King had dashed to the Queen's bedside. Charles was joined by the monarch's other children the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex, with the Duke of Cambridge, now heir to the throne.
The Duke of Sussex also travelled there but left alone this morning. Also at Balmoral are Camilla - the new Queen - and the Countess of Wessex. The King and Camilla will return to London today.
The following is expected to take place in the coming days, but Buckingham Palace has yet to confirm plans:
D+0 - Friday September 9
- The King and Queen to return to London - Charles and Camilla stayed at Balmoral overnight last night, but return to London today.
- 12pm: Church bells expected to ring across the country in commemoration of the Queen. Bells will toll at Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Windsor Castle - but the timing of that has not been confirmed.
-12pm: Tributes to the Queen will be paid by MPs in the House of Commons, led by Prime Minister Liz Truss and Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle.
- 1pm: Gun salutes - one round for every year of the Queen's life - will be fired in London's Hyde Park and at other stations.
- Audience with the PM - despite his grief, duty calls for new sovereign Charles who will have his first audience as monarch with Prime Minister Liz Truss this afternoon.
- Confirming funeral plans - Charles is likely to meet the Earl Marshal - the Duke of Norfolk - who is in charge of the accession and the Queen's funeral, to approve the carefully choreographed schedule for the coming days.
The London Bridge arrangements have long been planned in consultation with the Government. They will incorporate Operation Unicorn, the contingency plans for the death of the Queen in Scotland.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the Government and the Royal Household prepared a 'London minus' version of the London Bridge plans in case it was needed - which is now unlikely - with all the elements but with the involvement of fewer people.
- Court mourning - A period of royal mourning for members of the royal family and royal households will be observed until seven days after the Queen's funeral, the date of which is to be confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
- National mourning - The Government will confirm the length of national mourning, which is likely to be around 12 days, from now up to the day after the Queen's funeral. They will also announce that the funeral day will be a public holiday in the form of a Day of National Mourning.
- 6pm: Televised address by King Charles III - The King will make a televised address to the nation, which he is due to pre-record. He will pay tribute to the Queen and pledge his duty to his service as the new sovereign.
- 6pm: Service at St Paul's Cathedral - The Prime Minister and senior ministers will attend a public service of remembrance at St Paul's in central London.
- Flags - Union flags on royal buildings are flying at half-mast. The Royal Standard never flies half-mast. It represents the Sovereign and the United Kingdom, and is a symbol of the continuation of the monarchy.
If the new King is in residence at a royal palace or castle, the Royal Standard will fly there full-mast as is the tradition. The Union flag does not fly there at the same time.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is in charge of arrangements for lowering flags on government buildings.
Downing Street reportedly expressed concern in the past that the Government would face a wave of public anger if it did not lower its flags within 10 minutes of the announcement of the Queen's death.
- Sports events - A decision is likely to be made later today on whether sports bodies such as the Premier League will cancel matches this weekend. Official Government guidance recommends sports bodies should consider cancelling events on the day of the funeral, but there is no obligation for other days.
D+1 - Saturday, September 10
The Accession Council meets, traditionally at 10am, at St James's Palace in London to formally proclaim Charles as the new sovereign.
First, the Privy Council gathers without the King to proclaim the new monarch and arrange business relating to the proclamation.
Then Charles holds his first Privy Council, accompanied by Camilla - the new Queen - and William who are also Privy Counsellors, and makes his personal declaration and oath.
The first public proclamation of the new sovereign is read in the open air from the Friary Court balcony at St James's Palace by the Garter King of Arms.
Proclamations are made around the city and across the country.
Union flags go back up to full-mast at 1pm and remain there for 24 hours to coincide with the proclamations before returning to half-mast.
Charles will also hold audiences with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
D+2 - Sunday, September 11
The Queen's coffin is expected to be taken by road to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Proclamations will be read in the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland devolved parliaments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
D+3 - Monday, September 12
Procession is expected along Royal Mile to St Giles' Cathedral. Service and the Vigil of the Princes by members of the royal family.
The public may get the chance to file past the Queen's coffin at a mini lying in state in St Giles'.
The House of Commons and the House of Lords are expected to come together in Westminster for a Motion of Condolence, which the King could attend.
After leaving England and visiting Scotland, Charles will at some stage travel to the other countries of the UK - Wales and Northern Ireland - known as Operation Spring Tide.
D+4 - Tuesday, September 13
Coffin expected to be flown to London. Expected to be at rest at Buckingham Palace.
A rehearsal for the procession of the coffin from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster takes place.
D+5 - Wednesday, September 14
The Queen's lying in state is expected to begin in Westminster Hall - Operation Marquee - following a ceremonial procession through London. It will last four full days.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct a short service following the coffin's arrival.
Hundreds of thousands of people will file past the coffin on its catafalque and pay their respects, just as they did for the Queen Mother's lying in state in 2002.
The management of the queues outside is Operation Feather.
During the Covid-19 crisis, plans included the possibility of the introduction of timed ticketing for those wanting to attend.
Senior royals are also expected to pay their own moving tribute, standing guard at some stage around the coffin - the tradition known as the Vigil of the Princes.
D+6 - Thursday, September 15
Lying in state continues and a rehearsal is likely to take place for the state funeral procession.
D+7 - Friday, September 16 - Sunday, September 18
Lying in state continues, ending on D+9. Heads of state begin to arrive for the funeral.
D+10 - Monday, September 19
The Queen's state funeral is expected take place at Westminster Abbey in central London.
The original plans are for the Queen's coffin to process on a gun carriage to the abbey, pulled by naval ratings - sailors - using ropes rather than horses.
Senior members of the family are expected to poignantly follow behind - just like they did for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh.
The military will line the streets and also join the procession.
Heads of state, prime ministers and presidents, European royals and key figures from public life will be invited to gather in the abbey, which can hold a congregation of 2,000.
The service will be televised, and a national two minutes' silence is expected to be held.
The same day as the funeral, the Queen's coffin will be taken to St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle for a televised committal service.
Later in the evening, there will be a private interment service with senior members of the royal family.
The Queen's final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel - where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.
Philip's coffin will move from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen's.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — John Legend may have multiple Grammys and achieved the rare EGOT status, but the prolific singer still feels the need to prove himself.
That’s one of the reasons Legend cut back on traveling early last year to devote more time toward the writing process of his self-titled eighth studio album, “Legend,” which releases Friday. It’s the first double album project of Legend’s extraordinary career, which achieved new heights in 2018 when he became the first Black man to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.
After all his accolades, Legend still feels motivated to deliver fresh content about his joys of life, him being inspired by wife Chrissy Teigen and heartbreak after their pregnancy loss a couple years ago. His new album — executive produced by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder — features several guest appearances including Jazmine Sullivan, Jhené Aiko, Muni Long, JID, Ty Dolla $ign and Rick Ross.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Legend spoke about his reluctance to make a double album, a potential EP with Ross, Las Vegas residency relevance and being nervously excited after Teigen announced she was pregnant last month.
Remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity.
AP: How does feel to be pregnant again after the unfortunate loss of Jack in 2020?
LEGEND: We’re excited. I think whenever you lose a pregnancy, your optimism is a little more guarded the next time. But we feel good. We feel excited, and we can’t wait to welcome our baby into the world. You know, we have so much fun being parents together and our kids bring so much light into our lives. We’re looking forward to another one doing the same thing.
AP: Chrissy talked about being nervous before making the announcement on social media. How did you both navigate everything?
LEGEND: She was going to start to be visibly pregnant. Either you tell people or you just stay in the house and try to hide for quite a long time, which seemed like an untenable way to go. We felt like we should tell people at some point. It’s tough to figure out when the right time is, but sooner or later, people are going to start to see it. We felt like we wanted to control the narrative and tell people when we were ready to.
AP: What made you want to do a double album?
LEGEND: I’ve never done a double album before, and I was always reluctant because it’s a lot of material for a fan to digest. But these are separate albums, with different moods.
A lot of this album is joyful, celebratory, fun, and sexy. But particularly on the second disc, we talk a little bit more about what it feels like to struggle and try to come back from a struggle, what it feels like to deal with challenges and how you make it through that together. Some of those songs are written as songs of comfort, as we were dealing with some tough circumstances in our lives.
AP: For this album, how did Chrissy inspire your music?
LEGEND: Quite a few of the songs are inspired by Chrissy. But also, I want them to be songs that you can dedicate to the women in your lives. Whenever I’m writing songs that are inspired by my own life and my own love and my own family, I want it to feel like you can find a way to apply that to your own life. I think particularly when I’m seeing the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth and all those things and knowing how difficult it is for someone carrying a pregnancy, you must marvel at the women in our lives and give them the honor that they’re due.
AP: How was it working with Ryan Tedder as your executive producer?
LEGEND: Both of us grew up in the church, and both of us grew up with that as our foundation. But he’s more in the pop rock world and I’ve been more obviously in the soul and hip-hop world with a little bit of pop. I think because we’re different, our skills and our sensibilities complement each other well. I’m dealing with a certain palette and a certain set of references, and he is, too. When we bring it together, it’s an interesting chemistry and it works well.
AP: How important is collaboration for you?
LEGEND: It’s been a part of my music life since the beginning. It was always about collaboration. A lot of it was with hip-hop artists, particularly with Rick Ross. I made more songs with him — either him featured on my project or me featured on his — than any other artists. We’re different, but we sync up very well. The kind of beats that we both like. That soulful kind of lush soundscape that we like. We even talked about doing an EP together or something like that. But if you put all the songs together that we’ve done, it would be pretty much a whole album by now.
AP: You, Usher, Bruno Mars and other big artists have had a residency in Las Vegas. How has the perception of Vegas changed for major acts over the years?
LEGEND: I think people used to look at it as kind of like this is your swan song. This is your retirement residency. But I think of late you really see a lot of artists still in their prime doing it. Some of my favorite artists like Usher, Bruno, Anderson .Paak and so many great kinds of younger artists, but still with enough repertoire to sustain the show are doing it. I think it’s a great way in the middle of our careers to say we’re so grateful for everything that has come before us. We’re going to celebrate that. But also, I’ve been previewing songs from the new album as well. It’s like looking back but also previewing what’s to come.
AP: After achieving EGOT status, what keeps you driven?
LEGEND: I don’t think about awards as accomplishments I’m trying to achieve. I think about every album and every project that I make that I must prove myself to my fans. I have to prove myself to the world every single time, so I don’t take anything for granted. I don’t rest on my previous accomplishments. I must prove myself with the music with the creativity and the product that we give people. If we don’t do that, then I’ll just be kind of a forgotten artist. A has been. I want to keep proving myself to them every single time.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s prosecutors have charged four journalists from one of the country’s few remaining independent news outlets of spreading false news and disturbing public peace, the news website said in a statement.
Mada Masr said late Wednesday that the journalists were released on bail following their interrogation. At issue is an article saying that senior members of a pro-government political party were implicated in a corruption case.
Mada Masr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah and the three female authors of the article — Rana Mamdouh, Sara Seif Eddin and Beesan Kassab — also were charged with slander and defamation of Nation’s Future Party members, according to the outlet’s statement.
After Wednesday’s interrogation, Attalah was charged with running an unlicensed news website. The outlet has said in previous statements that it has applied for a license but did not receive a response.
Bail for Atallah was set at LE20,000 ($1,052) and at LE5,000 ($263) for the three other journalists, according to Mada Masr statement.
An Egyptian government media officer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the new charges filed against the journalists.
Media are required to have permission to work in Egypt, but that requirement is often used as a pretext to silence reporting the state sees as critical.
Mada Masr is one of hundreds of websites blocked by the Egyptian government in recent years, but it has continued to publish independent investigative pieces through other sites. Such stories are not produced by other Egyptian media. Nearly all newspapers and television channels are closely aligned with the government or the military.
Egyptian authorities have previously targeted Mada Masr journalists. In 2020, Attalah was arrested outside Cairo’s Tora prison complex while interviewing the mother of prominent jailed activist Alaa Abdel Fattah. She was released later.
In 2019, security forces raided the news site’s office, seized laptops and phones and detained three staff members, including the editor. All three were later released.
In recent years, Egypt has imprisoned dozens of reporters and occasionally expelled some foreign journalists.
It remains among the world’s worst jailers of journalists, along with Turkey and China, according to 2021 data gathered by the U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service is resuming its practice of intentionally lighting fires to clear brush and small trees from forested areas nationwide after a three-month hiatus to review the risks of runaway wildfires under increasingly severe climate conditions, the agency announced Thursday.
The prescribed fire program was put on hold in late May in the midst of a devastating wildfire sparked by the federal government near Las Vegas, New Mexico. The flames burned across more than 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) through remote communities in the southern reaches of the Rocky Mountains.
Forest Service Chief Randy Moore said prescribed burns will require new safeguards such as same-day authorization to keep pace with evolving weather and ground conditions.
He said the Forest Service will adopt mandatory tactics, taken from an in-depth review and public consultation process, that include a more robust scientific analysis of burn plans and a final on-site evaluation of the potential for human error linked to fatigue or inexperience.
Permission to light fires and other communications will be standardized to avoid missteps, amid efforts to learn from the small share of prescribed fires that escape control.
“It’s our due diligence and I can’t overstate that,” Moore told The Associated Press. “Every time one of these fires happened, like the one down in New Mexico, you know, we lose trust and credibility in the communities that we serve and so we have to do this right.”
Moore said the agency won’t back away from intentional burns that he sees as a crucial tool in reducing the buildup of combustible material on forest floors and grasslands.
“Our climate is changing and we have the science to back that up,” Moore said. “We need to increase the amount of work that we’re doing by up to four times. We do feel that if we want to make a difference on that landscape, between forest thinning and prescribed burning, we really need to ramp it up. And we need to do it in a way that is safe, in a way that really instills public trust.”
By the end of the year, the agency also wants to expand training not only for Forest Service staff but also community members who could be certified to participate directly in controlled wildfires.
To instill greater accountability, Moore said he will soon designate a specific Forest Service member at the national level to oversee implementation of the new requirements and tactics for prescribed burning.
Many forestry experts outside the federal government say prescribed burns need to be accompanied by sufficient oversight and new scientific tools for modeling of fire behavior.
Owen Burney, director of the John T. Harrington Forestry Research Center at New Mexico State University, said the Forest Service could instill greater trust in prescribed burns with independent oversight from outside the agency — not just Forest Service administrators.
“I don’t think the Forest Service should be self-serving,” Harrington said. “What they need to have is external advisers.”
Jennifer Carbajal, who lived in Las Vegas as the government-sparked wildfire skirted the city, said she no longer considers prescribed burns viable after seeing people left homeless by the fire and the debris-choked flooding afterward.
“Everything needs to be reevaluated in light of the climate. Everything is getting exponentially worse,” she said. “I don’t think burning — prescribed burns — should be a tool in the kit anymore.”
The Forest Service typically ignites 4,500 prescribed fires a year, aimed at treating more than 2,000 square miles (5,200 square kilometers) across the National Forest system. Very few of the fires escape control — a fraction of 1% by Forest Service calculations.
Anticipated changes to the prescribe burn program also will be geared toward economic development and the possible introduction of new composite building products made from small diameter trees and wood particles, products that might incentivize better forest management and create local jobs.
Las Vegas resident Elmo Baca, a movie theater owner and chairman of a community foundation overseeing wildfire relief funds, said people with a lifetime of knowledge about local forests and weather conditions feel left out of decisions on prescribed burns.
“I would hope that going forward that the Forest Service would be more sensitive and cognizant of local people and their knowledge of the land,” he said. “I like the idea of them training people outside of the Forest Service.”

The San Miguel Beer teammates are currently 1-2 in the race for the league’s highest individual award following the team’s success in regaining the Philippine Cup championship last week by dethroning TNT Tropang Giga.
See: June Mar Fajardo can play overseas, says Bay Area Dragons deputy coach
The 6-foot-10 Fajardo currently shows the way with a total of 42.6 statistical points, fueled by his 18.7-point, 14.2-rebound, 3.1-assist, and 1.3-block stats line in 26 games played during the all-Filipino conference.
Perez, meanwhile, occupies the no. 2 slot with 37.9 sps built behind averages of 18.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists, while churning out 2.5 steals per game to lead the league in the department.
So far, Fajardo had Perez’s numbers as the six-time MVP beat out the two-time scoring champion for the Best Player of the Conference and Finals MVP awards, respectively.
Reigning MVP Scottie Thompson of Barangay Ginebra is running third with 37.8 sps. Followed by teammates Japeth Aguilar (33.1) and Christian Standhardinger (32.8).
Rounding up the Top 10 list are Robert Bolick (32.63) and Jamie Malonzo (32.60) of NorthPort, Calvin Oftana of NLEX (32.4), TNT’s Mikey Williams (31.9), and teammate Roger Pogoy (30.9).

CHICAGO (AP) — An ex-business manager for R. Kelly and his co-defendant at the singer’s federal trial in Chicago expressed doubts on the witness stand Thursday about Kelly’s insistence in the 2000s that he never sexually abused minors — testifying a day after the former employee told jurors he had had no reason to doubt his boss was telling the truth.
Derrell McDavid’s testimony, which could be a major blow to Kelly’s hope of acquittal, came at the end McDavid’s second day on the stand. He and the Grammy winner are charged with successfully fixing Kelly’s 2008 child pornography trial by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence. Both also face child pornography charges.
Asked by his own lawyer, Beau Brindley, if he was in “a different position” now as far as assessing allegations against Kelly after sitting through government testimony by four Kelly accusers, McDavid responded solemnly: “Yes, I am.”
“The last (few) weeks … I’ve learned a lot … that I had no idea about in 2008,” he said. When he added that, “as I stand here today, I’m embarrassed… sad,” Kelly’s lead lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, objected. Judge Harry Leinenweber sustained her objection.
McDavid, who said earlier he once saw Kelly as a son, was also asked Thursday if he had wanted to believe Kelly in the 2000s and through to the end of Kelly’s 2008 trial.
“I absolutely did,” he answered, “because I loved him and I believed in him.”
It is in McDavid’s interest to say he believed Kelly in much of the 2000s because it undermines the government’s case that McDavid knew Kelly was guilty heading into the 2008 trial and would, if evidence wasn’t suppressed, be convicted.
With jurors out of the courtroom earlier, Bonjean said she was worried McDavid would — as he ended up doing — cast doubt about Kelly’s believability. She said it would unfairly prejudice her client in jurors’ eyes and, on some counts, seal his fate.
Kelly’s defense team has several times asked that Kelly’s trial be severed from McDavid’s and that Kelly be tried alone, saying their interests at a joint trial would inevitably conflict. Leinenweber has repeatedly rejected that request.
Among the charges only Kelly faces at the current trial are five counts of enticing minor girls for sex — one count for five Kelly accusers. McDavid’s testimony toward the end of the day Thursday could potentially lend credence to those accusations.
Prosecutors are set to start what could be a blistering cross-examination of McDavid on Friday. McDavid’s lengthy testimony seemed to open doors for prosecutors to ask him about otherwise barred topics, including evidence entered by state prosecutors at Kelly’s 2008 trial.
Earlier Thursday, McDavid also testified that a push to recover purported Kelly sex videos prior to the 2008 trial was driven, not by himself or Kelly, but by Kelly’s now deceased-criminal lawyer, Ed Genson.
With that testimony, McDavid sought to distance himself from decisions to aggressively pursue videos prior to the 2008 trial, including by offering six-figure payoffs for lost or stolen videos.
The ongoing trial in Kelly’s hometown is, in ways , a do-over of that 2008 trial. A single video, which state prosecutors said showed Kelly sexually abusing a girl of around 14, was at the heart of that trial. The same video is in evidence at the current trial.
The girl in the video, then an adult, did not testify at that 2008 trial, which jurors said at the time was one reason they couldn’t convict Kelly. She did testify at the current trial under the pseudonym, “Jane.”
The otherwise dry, matter-of-fact McDavid sounded emotional for the first time in two days on the stand when asked Thursday how he felt when jurors at the 2008 trial acquitted Kelly on all charges.
“I was happy,” he said, his voice appearing to break.
During one lunch break during McDavid’s testimony, McDavid stood next to Kelly sitting at his defense table — the two chatting amiably.
On Thursday, McDavid told jurors he and Kelly began to grow apart in the years after the 2008 trial, friction between them highlighted by financial disputes. He quit working for Kelly in 2014, he testified.
On Wednesday, McDavid told jurors he had seen Jane when she was a minor hanging around Kelly’s studio in the late 1990s. He said Kelly angrily denied rumors he was sexually abusing Jane, who Kelly described as his god daughter.
“I believed him,” McDavid testified.
Testifying earlier, Jane, now 37, said Kelly sexually abused her hundreds of time starting when she was 14. She also said she was the girl in the video at the center of the 2008 trial and entered as evidence at the current trial. She said Kelly produced it.
McDavid is the only one of the three defendants testifying in his own behalf. Both Kelly and Milton Brown, the third co-defendant, told the trial judge last week they would not testify.
This trial follows a separate federal trial in New York, where the 55-year-old Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in June.

MBTA to give update on Orange Line shutdown after 3 weeks of no train service
The MBTA is expected to give an update Friday on the Orange Line shutdown, which has halted train service on the line for the past three weeks.
MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak is set to hold a briefing at Wellington Station.
The MBTA recently shared video that showed crews upgrading the Orange Line signal system. The T most recently said Orange Line work is about 60% complete.
The 11 miles of the Orange Line, from the Oak Grove to Forest Hills stations, closed on Aug. 19 and is scheduled to remain closed until 5 a.m. Sept. 19.
Shuttle buses are replacing train service, and the Commuter Rail has added service at Forest Hills. Nine extra inbound and outbound trains will stop there each weekday through the end of the shutdown.
Officials said the "impetus" for the Orange Line shutdown was a safety review by the Federal Transit Administration. The FTA began digging into the MBTA's record in May after a man was dragged to death on the Red Line in April.
A final report from the federal agency was made public this week. It found the MBTA’s focus on long-term projects came at the expense of day-to-day operations and safety, resulting in too few workers, not enough training and weak safeguards.

Storms likely next couple of days, relief next week
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - An upper low spinning over south Louisiana will result in additional rounds of showers and t-storms over the next couple of days.
After a mainly dry start this morning, a few storms will start to develop by lunchtime, with showers and t-storms becoming likely during the afternoon.
Highs will top out in the upper 80s for most.
Locally heavy rainfall will be possible this afternoon, with the Weather Prediction Center posting a Level 2/4 (slight) risk of flooding for much of our area.
The pattern remains the same for Saturday as the upper low continues to meander nearby. Scattered to numerous showers and t-storms will once again develop by afternoon, with highs topping out in the upper 80s. With good rain chances in the forecast, those planning on tailgating for the Southern-LSU game on the LSU campus should be ready to find shelter if storms threaten during the afternoon. We’re still somewhat optimistic that most of the rain will exit by the time the game gets underway at 6:30 Saturday evening.
Scattered showers and t-storms will linger from Sunday into Monday, but coverage should be a bit lower as the upper low weakens and shifts northward. We’ll also be awaiting the potential arrival of a cold front approaching from the north. Model guidance continues to shift from run to run, but we’re still hopeful that some drier air and more pleasant mornings should arrive by the mid part of the week.
In the tropics, things are starting to trend just a little quieter once again over the Atlantic. Category 2 Hurricane Earl is passing east of Bermuda this morning and could still make a brief run at ‘major’ (Category 3) intensity as it lifts northward. However, it will remain over the open Atlantic and avoid any direct land impacts. Elsewhere, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two other disturbances farther east in the Atlantic, with development chances dwindling for the first, and the second only given a 20% chance over the next 5 days.

UW officials report, denounce anti-Semitic sidewalk chalk messages on campus
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - UW-Madison officials are denouncing several anti-Semitic sidewalk chalk messages found during the first day of classes, which they say targeted Jewish student groups.
In a statement Thursday, officials confirmed several incidents of sidewalk chalk across campus labeling Jewish student groups as “racist,” “genocidal” and “having blood on their hands.”
Vice Chancellor Lori Reesor and Deputy Vice Chancellor and Chief Diversity Officer LaVar J. Charleston apologized to Jewish students and others who were affected by the anti-Semitic sentiments.
“We are sorry for the impact this had on your first day of class at UW. We truly strive to create a campus where every student feels they belong, and this kind of messaging harms that goal and aspiration,” the statement reads.
Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin also condemned the messages, saying she was “tremendously disappointed.”
“#Badgers, it’s critical that we be a place where we robustly engage in discussion about ideas, but it’s equally critical that we refrain from targeting each other based on identity,” she said.
UW-Madison officials continued, saying that although it isn’t their place to respond after every incident on campus, this marks an opportunity to promote open and inclusive dialogue in the classroom.
“Here at UW, we believe in sifting and winnowing and a robust commitment to free speech. That can be difficult and uncomfortable at times,” they said, “just because something isn’t prohibited doesn’t make it a good idea. Our expectation is that we engage across differences and discuss varying views and ideas with civility and respect and that did not happen here.”
The statement closed with a “call for civility and kindness while at the same time, embracing vigorous, honest debate.”
This is not the first report of anti-Semitic hate speech on UW-Madison’s campus. Just earlier this year in March, multiple incidents were reported by students.
Anyone who sees or experiences such activity is urged to report it as soon as they can at go.wisc.edu/reporthateandbias. Support is also available by calling:
- Dean of Students Office, 608-263-5700
- UHS Mental Health Services, 608-265-5600 (option 9)
- Employee Assistance Office, 608-263-2987
- Call 911 in an emergency or UW Police Department at (608) 264-COPS

Following the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles automatically became King. He will be proclaimed monarch at a historic Accession Council on Saturday, September 10.
The council usually takes place within 24 hours of the death of a sovereign, however it will be later this time as the Queen's death not being announced until the evening of Thursday, September 8. It is expected to take place at St James Palace in London reports The Daily Mirror.
Historically the entire Privy Council is summoned to oversee the proclamation of a new monarch, but with the number of privy counsellors standing at more than 700, just 200 will be summoned. Those who were not summoned will be asked to enter an annual ballot for the remaining few seats, which has reportedly caused a row due to the lack of consultation.
Read More: Everything that could be closed or cancelled following the death of Queen Elizabeth
The Accession Council must take place before the meeting of Parliament, which is why the council should take place as soon as possible after a monarch's death. The Accession Council is split into two parts, The Proclamation and The King's First Privy Council.
The council is presided over by the Lord President of the council, Penny Mordaunt, who has ministerial responsibility for the Privy Council Office. Ms Mordaunt was appointed this position and Leader of the House of Commons on September 6, 2022, in Liz Truss's new cabinet, replacing Nottinghamshire MP Mark Spencer.
The Queen officially approved the appointment. However, Ms Mordaunt is still to be 'declared' Lord President at a Privy Council meeting as the event was postponed on Wednesday, September 8, when the Queen was urged to rest. The first part of the Accession Council is The Proclamation, where chosen Privy counsellors will gather at St James’s Palace to proclaim the new sovereign.
They will be joined by Great Officers of State, the Lord Mayor and City Civic party, Realm High Commissioners and some senior civil servants. Both Camila and the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge are already privy counsellors, so will be present.
The meeting will begin with the Lord President announcing the death of the sovereign and calling upon the Clerk of the Council to read aloud the text of the Accession Proclamation. This will include the title chosen by Charles, which is King Charles III.
The platform party, made up of Camilla and William, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of York, the Prime Minister, the Lord Privy Seal, the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Earl Marshal and the Lord President will then sign the Proclamation. The Lord President will then call for silence and read the remaining items of business, which deal with the dissemination of the Proclamation and various orders giving directions for firing guns at Hyde Park and the Tower of London.
The second part if the King’s First Privy Council, where Charles will enter and hold his first council, which will only be attended by Privy Counsellors as he makes a personal declaration about the death of the Queen. He will then take the oath to preserve the Church of Scotland, as in Scotland there is a division of powers between Church and State.
Charles will read the oath out loud and sign two identical Instruments recording the taking of the oath, which will be witnessed by Camila and William, as well as the Secretary of State for Scotland and the Scottish First Minister. Another oath, the Accession Declaration, to maintain the protestant succession is normally made several months later at the State Opening of Parliament.
Other business will be dealt with, such as the use of the Seals, to “facilitate the continuity of government” and privy counsellors will sign the Proclamation as they leave. The official record of proceedings will then be published in a special supplement to the London Gazette.

YANGLING, China, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 29th China Yangling Agricultural High-tech Fair (CAF), with the theme 'Innovation, Cooperation and Food Security', will be held from September 15 to 19 in the Yangling Agricultural Hi-tech Industries Demonstration Zone, the so-called Agri City of China.
This year's CAF, which will cover an exhibition area of 48,000 square meters, will feature Chinese and international agricultural high-tech achievements and advanced applicable technologies in 1,450 booths across three indoor exhibition halls. Ten-plus major events will be held concurrently, including the 2022 SCO Modern Agriculture Development Roundtable and the Seminar on the Past and Future of China-Africa Agricultural Exchange and Cooperation, according to the Organizing Committee.
800 exhibitors from 31 countries and regions and Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions will participate in this year's Fair. Uzbekistan will be the guest of honor this year.
Since its inception in 1994, the CAF has attracted tens of thousands of enterprises from the agricultural sector, as well as scientific and educational institutions from more than 70 countries and regions, with more than 1 trillion yuan in investments and transactions. It has evolved into a vital platform for demonstration and promotion of China's agricultural hi-tech achievements and an important window for international cooperation and exchange in agricultural science and technology.
In recent years, China has intensified cooperation and exchange with SCO member states. For example, at the 19th meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State held on June 14, 2019, an initiative taken by China was the establishment of an SCO Demonstration Base for Agricultural Technology Exchange and Training in Shaanxi Province, the goal being to strengthen cooperation with regional countries in the field of modern agriculture.
As the earliest agricultural high-tech industries demonstration zone in China, Yangling is home to a cluster of agricultural colleges and universities including Northwest A&F University, seed R&D companies, and agricultural technology innovation teams. As the host city for the SCO Demonstration Base for Agricultural Technology Exchange and Training, Yangling has promoted exchange and cooperation opportunities among SCO member countries, covering modern agriculture, food production, trade and investment via international agricultural exchanges, training and demonstrations, and has delivered an array of international cooperative parks in agricultural high-techs.
The SCO Demonstration Base for Agricultural Technology Exchange and Training was inaugurated during the 28th CAF in Yangling in 2021, signaling agricultural hi-tech as the new envoy of SCO member states. To support the development of the SCO Demonstration Base and to promote Shaanxi's high-standard opening-up, the 1st SCO Agricultural Expo will be held concurrently during the 29th CAF through a range of multilateral and bilateral international cooperation and exchange events.
Yangling has formed more than 10 SCO platforms for agricultural research exchange and cooperation, held 28 agricultural technology training sessions for SCO member states, and expedited the construction of SCO agricultural hi-tech demonstration parks. Going forward, increasing programs in agricultural exchange, training and demonstration will be delivered.

TOKYO (AP) — Global stock benchmarks rose Friday, as comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve chairman assured markets that interest rate increases will likely be within expectations.
France's CAC 40 added 0.7% in early trading to 6,168.33, while Germany's DAX gained 0.9% to 13,014.33. Britain's FTSE 100 rose nearly 1.1% to 7,338.96. U.S. shares were set to move higher with Dow futures up 0.4% at 31,902.00. S&P 500 futures rose 0.5% to 4,025.50. Oil prices rose.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 rose 0.5% to finish at 28,214.75. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.7% to 6,894.20. Hong Kong's Hang Seng jumped 2.8% to 19,389.03, while the Shanghai Composite added 0.8% to 3,262.05. Trading was closed in South Korea for a holiday.
“Ongoing recovery in the risk environment could provide a positive backdrop for the Asia session to end the week, although Chinese equities still seem to be finding some difficulty in tapping on the improved environment for some relief,” said Yeap Jun Rong, market strategist at IG in Singapore.
China has been releasing a slew of economic data, with more expected next week. Interest is high because of how China's “zero-COVID” policy has impacted economic activity in the world's second-largest economy.
Investors are also eyeing interest rates, as the European Central Bank made its largest-ever rate increase to fight inflation. The move is in line with steps taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks.
Investors also heard from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to keep rates high as long as necessary to get inflation under control. Some market observers remain skeptical.
“Given the tremendous challenges ahead on the energy front, the war front, and with broad-based inflation already impacting people’s lives, it might be wiser to maintain rates at slightly stimulatory levels to help offset the general economic pain rather than adding to it,” said Clifford Bennett, chief economist at ACY Securities.
Stocks have been mostly losing ground in recent weeks after the Federal Reserve indicated it will not let up anytime soon on raising interest rates to bring down the highest inflation in decades. The interest rate policies of the Fed and other central banks, which also have a powerful influence on stock and bond markets, have become a major focus for investors.
On the same day the European Central Bank delivered its big rate increase, Powell told a conference on monetary policy hosted by the Cato Institute, a think tank that promotes libertarian ideas, that the Fed would keep rates high “until the job is done” in getting inflation back down to its 2% goal.
“There is a record of failed attempts to get inflation under control, which only raises the ultimate costs to society,” Powell said.
The Fed has already raised rates four times this year and markets expect it to deliver another jumbo-sized increase of three-quarters of a percentage point at its next meeting in two weeks.
Powell “sounded very resolute in the (Fed’s) mission to squelch inflation, and as a result probably gave more credence to the possibility of a 75-basis point hike at the September meeting,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA.
“But once investors realized that he wasn’t really saying anything different than what he had said before, the markets swung back,” he said.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude rose 92 cents to $84.46 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added $1.08 to $90.23 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar fell to 142.29 yen from 144.09 yen. The euro cost $1.0098, up from $1.0002.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jakubowitz Law announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFIX).
To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:
https://claimyourloss.com/securities/stitch-fix-inc-loss-submission-form/?id=31470&from=4
This lawsuit is on behalf of purchasers of Stitch Fix Class A common stock between December 8, 2020, and March 8, 2022, inclusive.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until October 25, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to the filed complaint, Stitch Fix made numerous false and misleading statements to investors concerning the synergy between the Company's Fix and Freestyle programs, and repeatedly denied claims that the Freestyle program could cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business. Specifically, Stitch Fix repeatedly assured investors that the Company's Freestyle business was "an additive experience" and "complementary" to the Fix business, that "the combination of those two things will allow us to address many more types of clients," and that "we see solid growth in both sides of the business." In truth, Stitch Fix concealed that these programs were not complementary or additive. Stitch Fix knew that the Freestyle program would be much preferred to the Company's original Fix model and that the Freestyle program would inevitably cannibalize the Company's legacy Fix business.

"CORRECTION: Bioretec Ltd released a company announcement on 8 September 2022 at 5.00 p.m. EET. The announcement was missing information that it included inside information. The information that the annoucement includes inside information has been added to this corrective announcement on the basic data row. Additionally, the missing information on certified advisor contact information has been added into this corrective announcement."
TAMPERE, Finland, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The European Patent Office has announced to approve Bioretec Oy's hybrid composite material patent application EP3782657A1 and will grant and publish the patent after the Company's confirmation.
Approved patent concerns magnesium-based reinforced composite material, i.e., hybrid composite. The patent also includes the usage of the hybrid composite material in the manufacturing of a medical device or a part of such a device.
The patented hybrid composite material will be used in those products of Bioretec's RemeOs™ product family that require very high load-bearing capacity. Targeted applications include intramedullary nails in the long bones of the upper and lower extremities and implants for spinal fusion. The hybrid composite material biodegrades in the body similarly as the RemeOs™ magnesium alloy material and is replaced by bone while promoting fracture healing, thus eliminating the need for implant removal surgery.
The patent application process for the hybrid composite material in regions outside of Europe continues based on the international PCT patent application WO2021032882A1, and the Company will inform about patent approvals in other regions as the application process progress.

Asked what it would take over the season’s final 25 games for the Orioles to make up the 4 1/2-game deficit they now face for a playoff spot, manager Brandon Hyde provided the obvious answer.
“It’s gonna take some wins,” Hyde said. “We’re gonna need to win.”
Doing so has been difficult this week, with Baltimore dropping four of its past five games, including three of four to a Toronto Blue Jays team it’s chasing for the American League’s final wild-card spot.
That 4 1/2-game margin now separating the AL East foes is not insurmountable, especially given that six contests remain between them. The Orioles, then, can make up that ground rather directly; six wins against the Blue Jays would constitute six games gained on them. Winning at least three would secure the season series, which would serve as a tiebreaker should the teams have identical records after closing the regular season with three games at Camden Yards.
Baltimore would also need to play well in its other games, with a remaining schedule that also features postseason aspirants in the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and New York Yankees but also series with Washington Nationals and Detroit Tigers, both at the bottom of their respective divisions.
“It doesn’t matter what team it is,” right-hander Dean Kremer said. “We’re looking to at least split or win the series, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s the Blue Jays, the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Nationals.”
Based on current records of opponents, Toronto has a tougher remaining schedule, one that includes nine matchups with a Tampa Bay Rays team that holds the first of the AL’s three wild-card spots. A year ago, the Blue Jays themselves were four games out of a wild-card spot with 27 games to go but managed to get into playoff position less than two weeks later, gaining five games on the Yankees in that time. They didn’t hold that spot, missing out on a postseason berth on the last day of the season despite sweeping the Orioles in the year’s final series as they finished a game behind both New York and Boston.
Through 135 games last year, Toronto had an 18% chance of reaching the playoffs, according to FanGraphs. After the Orioles dropped their series with the Blue Jays, the site’s model had Baltimore making this year’s postseason field in 2.9% of its simulations, down from 8.3% before the Orioles were swept in Monday’s doubleheader.
FanGraphs’ methodology is partly based on projections of how players and teams are expected to perform; entering this season, the Orioles’ projected record was 63-99, the worst of any team by 4 1/2 games. The Milwaukee Brewers entered Thursday trailing both the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies by four games in the National League wild-card race but with a 19.5% chance of getting a wild-card spot; FanGraphs’ preseason projections had Milwaukee winning the division with a 90-62 record.
FanGraphs’ season-to-date projection model, which looks backward and weighs recent games more heavily, gives the Orioles a 21.4% chance of reaching the playoffs, similar to the odds offered from Baseball-Reference (22%, but nearly halved over the past week) and Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA system (24.4%). Baseball-Reference’s approach focuses on each team’s past 100 games and does not take roster composition into account, which the other methodologies do.
The odds, as these Orioles have shown throughout the season, only mean so much. Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias cited the low likelihood of Baltimore actually claiming a wild-card spot in explaining why the club moved Trey Mancini, its longest-tenured player, at the trade deadline; Elias has since walked those comments back, both to the media and directly to players in visiting them on the road in Texas days later, and stated he believes in the team’s potential. The Orioles have gone 21-14 since the trade.
Daily Top Stories
Keeping that pace over the next 25 games would net them 15 more wins, giving them 87 on the year. FanGraphs projects they’ll go 10-15, with Baseball-Reference and PECOTA each estimating about 13 more wins. This is the first year of both leagues having a third wild card, and although at least 90 wins would have been required to earn it in the past three full seasons, 87 would have qualified the extra team each year from 2014 to 2017.
The odds are long, but the opportunity remains.
“It’s going to be a competitive month,” right-hander Tyler Wells said. “But I think at the same time, too, it’s also going to be worth it in the end. I’m hoping that we continue to push and we continue to battle, and if we continue to play the way that we’ve been playing as of late, hopefully we can push and surprise a lot of people.”

Ideanomics Second Quarter 2022 Operating Results

Revenue from the US in the second quarter of 2022 was $14.4 million versus $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $10.6 million due to lower revenues at Timios, but was offset with significant growth in revenues at both our Energica and Solectrac brands. We expect global revenues from EV to continue to grow as we incorporate Energica into our product offerings and our worldwide customer base expands.

Gross profit for the second quarter was $1.5 million, which represented a Gross Margin of 4.4%. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $9.0 million.

Senegal leads way on women legislators but challenges ahead
Senegal's former prime minister Aminata Toure says women in politics face far more scrutiny than men
Senegal will break new ground Monday as West Africa's largest-ever proportion of women MPs take their seats in a newly elected legislature, stirring hopes of change in a country where patriarchal laws and attitudes are entrenched.
More than 44 percent of seats in Senegal's next National Assembly will be held by women -- the biggest share of any country in the region.
But hopes for dramatic progress on issues ranging from reproductive rights to domestic violence also have to be balanced with political reality.
Aminata Toure, a former prime minister and incoming MP for President Macky Sall's APR party, cautioned that in politics, female pioneers always encounter resistance and suspicion.
"You're much more scrutinised... they don't forgive you for any mistakes", she told AFP. "I think all women in power would tell you the same."
Seventy-three out of 165 parliamentary seats will be held by women following elections in July across Senegal, widely viewed as a beacon of democracy and stability in a region marked by conflict and military rule.
The country ranks fourth in Africa and 18th in the world for gender parity in parliament, ahead of Switzerland, France, Britain and the US, according to the Geneva-based organisation the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Outside of Senegal, only 15 of 111 elected or appointed parliamentary or ministerial positions that opened in West Africa and the Sahel between December and June were filled by women, a UN report has said.
Senegal's high share is explained by a 2010 law requiring "absolute gender parity" in all elective institutions, with candidate lists alternating between men and women.
The latest tally of legislators is two more than previously, and the highest ever under the parity rules.
The law "allows women to have a say on the national budget, express the concerns and needs of women in parliament and show society that women are equally qualified," said Toure.
Women "can bring another culture of governing".
Candidate lists are often topped by men and, when they are odd-numbered, tend to have one more man than woman, which explains why female representation remains below 50 percent, a National Assembly spokeswoman said.
- Incremental change -
Activists point to a mountain of tasks in a country that ranks a lowly 130th out of 189 states on a UN gender equality index.
But efforts to fix them under the new assembly are likely to be incremental.
Rape was only criminalised in 2020, and national laws have yet to fully implement the Maputo Protocol, an African Union initiative to widen abortion access that Senegal ratified in 2005.
It obliges state parties to allow abortion in cases of rape and incest, among others.
Senegal
But in Senegal, abortion is only permitted to save a pregnant woman's life, said Aissatou Ywa of Task Force, an alliance of civil society and medical associations campaigning for rape and incest to be included.
In 2020, one quarter of the female prison population had been jailed for abortion-related crimes, according to the NGO Africa Check, quoting data provided by Senegal's penitentiary administrators.
Other campaign groups are pushing for legal changes that would raise the age of marriage for girls to 18 from 16. The legal age of marriage is already 18 for men.
"It should be raised to 18 for girls to enable them to continue school and be on the same footing, in terms of rights, as boys", said Maimouna Yade, head of the women's organisation JGEN.
Campaigners are also pushing to allow mothers to have the same parental authority under law as fathers.
"There are so many things to do," said Mame Diarra Fam, an incoming MP for the opposition Senegalese Democratic Party.
She highlighted violence against women, education for girls and access to health, following a string of headline-making tragedies in maternity clinics over the last 18 months.
- Test ahead -
Advocates and MPs credit the parity law for several success stories.
In 2013, parliament enacted a law allowing Senegalese women married to foreigners to pass their nationality onto their children, a right that was already permitted for Senegalese men.
Toure had introduced the bill as justice minister.
Health care for women became a major issue in Senegal this year after mother-to-be Astou Sokhna died nine months pregnant after being denied a Caesarean
Another breakthrough was legislation criminalising rape -- a law "largely pushed" by female MPs, said Yade.
Whether women's rising numbers in parliament translates into executive clout will soon face a key test.
Sall will be scrutinised to see if he names a woman to the role of prime minister, a position that he had abolished in 2019 under the country's presidential system.
Senegal's first woman prime minister was Mame Madior Boye, who served from 2001 to 2002. She was followed by Toure, in office from 2013 to 2014.
Another issue is how many women Sall will name to ministerial jobs. Toure is among those wanting parity to be extended to the cabinet and even to the private sector.
Civil society groups meanwhile are campaigning hard for a female speaker of the assembly, a role never held by a woman.
"We really want a woman leading the 2022-2027 parliament", said Coumba Gueye, executive secretary of the Association of Senegalese Women Lawyers. "If we have a woman, a lot of things can be changed."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams rages at staff for not telling him sooner about ARSENIC in public housing
NYC Mayor Eric Adams is cracking down on staff for not telling him earlier that one of his city’s largest public housing complexes, home to 4,000 people, had ARSENIC in its drinking water — and tenants “were not told about the problem for TWO WEEKS.” ‘
- Adams said he wasn’t told about the arsenic-rich water at the Riis Houses in the East Village until the next day, which goes against city protocol.
- “I found out on Friday. We are doing an assessment to find out when the DEP was informed because there should have been a natural step of notification,” the mayor said.
- The Democrat is now dealing with high levels of a dangerous chemical in a residential complex that is home to about 4,000 New Yorkers
- Arsenic in the water can cause nausea, vomiting and dehydration, and prolonged exposure can lead to skin problems and even cancer, according to the CDC
- Residents of the Riis Houses have been told not to drink tap water, while city workers – including Adams on Monday – provided free bottled water to residents
New York City Mayor Eric Adams expressed frustration at not being told earlier that arsenic had been found in the drinking water of a Manhattan public housing complex.
Adams said he wasn’t told about the arsenic-rich water in the East Village’s Riis Houses until the next day — which violates city protocol.
It is also alleged that the 4,000 tenants living in the block may not have heard about the matter for two weeks.
The mayor revealed that he has now submitted an assessment to find out when the Ministry of Environmental Protection discovered the water problem – as there may have been a communication problem between staff.
Adams expressed his concern, admitting that there should have been a ‘natural step of notice’ from the department to inform him as soon as possible – which apparently has not happened.
The mayor told the New York Daily News: ‘I found out on Friday. We are doing a review to find out when the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) was aware, because there should have been a natural step of reporting.”
Struggling to keep his promise to reduce crime in the city, the Democrat now faces high levels of a dangerous chemical in a residential complex that is home to approximately 4,000 New Yorkers.
Arsenic in the water can cause nausea, vomiting and dehydration, and prolonged exposure can lead to skin problems and even cancer, according to the CDC.

Both the city’s DEP and NYCHA – the authority that governs the city’s public housing – have declined to comment or have declined to comment.
Residents of the Riis Houses have been told not to drink tap water, while city workers – including Adams on Friday – provided free bottled water to residents.
An Adams spokesperson said “precise” tests on the water at the complex have not revealed elevated levels of arsenic in the water.
Lutvak added: “While these results are promising, the health and safety of New Yorkers are our top priorities. That’s why the mayor has ordered additional testing to be done to make absolutely sure that the water is safe to drink. We are now waiting for test results for more than 100 additional delivery points.”
It seems that the whole ordeal has been a communication breakdown, such as: The city reported that NYCHA officials took two weeks to tell people the arsenic had been discovered, a charge they disputed.

It appears the entire ordeal was a communications breakdown, as The City reported that NYCHA officials took two weeks to tell people the arsenic had been discovered, a charge they disputed.
NYCHA has been under federal surveillance since 2016 after a US attorney found it failed to address issues such as lead paint and mold at several complexes.
Attorney General Jumaane Williams, a fellow Democrat, said, “If that’s true, it’s a further indication of the problems at NYCHA and how NYCHA is managed.”
Adams said Monday that “we are doing a full, thorough review and will be transparent about what happened.”

Senegal's pink lake threatened by flood waters after downpour
By Ngouda Dione
NIAGA, Senegal, Sept 9 (Reuters) - After days of torrential rain, salt miner Moussa Diare could only watch in despair as flood waters breached a meters-wide gap on the banks of Senegal's Pink Lake and washed away thousands of dollars worth of salt mounds he had gathered.
Senegal, like other countries in the West and Central Africa region, has recorded above-normal rainfall in recent weeks that has unleashed destructive floods after poor drainage systems failed.
"This is the first time I've seen this. I lost a lot of money with my salt that has been washed and dissolved by the water," Diare said on Tuesday.
The lake, separated by a strip of dune from the Atlantic Ocean, is situated around 35 km (20 miles) from Senegal's capital Dakar. It is one of the country's most visited sites, and under consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Officially known as Lake Retba, it derives its pinkish hue from an algae that produces the coloured pigment, and like the Dead Sea, it is also known for it high salt content.
Diare is one of over 3,000 people who earn a living from the lake, including hundreds of divers who manually rake salt from the bottom of the lake, producing around 38,000 tonnes annually. The salt is used for cooking and exported around the region.
As persistent rains drenched Senegal, with around 126 millimetres (5 inches) recorded during one spell over the past weekend, according to the Water and Sanitation Ministry, drainage systems and retention reservoirs were quickly overwhelmed and channelled flood waters towards the lake.
According to Senegal's civil aviation and meteorological agency, rainfall above 50 mm in the country is considered "extreme".
As the flows reached the lake, the water level rose, washing away dozens of salt mounds, said Babacar Ba, another miner who was trying save his remaining mounds.
Abdoulaye Faty, a hydrologist and lecturer at Dakar's Cheikh Anta Diop University, told Reuters that rising water levels in surrounding plateaus naturally pooled into the low-lying lake.
Because the lake has received abundant flood water, it could have an impact on its salt content and colour, he added.
With a month to go before the end of Senegal's June - October rainy season, other businesses around the lake, including restaurants and flat-bottom boat operators, who take tourists on tours of the lake, are counting their losses and worried about the future.
"What appealed to visitors was the feeling of floating on the surface of the lake because of its salt content. Currently no one can float here," said Abdou Seye Dieng who runs a campsite on the shores.
The government has activated a national plan to help communities hit by perennial floods, and a mission from the Water and Sanitation Ministry is expected to visit the lake soon. (Reporting by Ngouda Dione Writing by Bate Felix Editing by Alessandra Prentice and Alison Williams)

Column: If businesses really oppose abortion ban, they'll back Democrats in next election
The G.O.P. has long been known as the party of business. Over the last half century, however, right-leaning social values have also come to define the party, including recent antagonism to "woke culture," as well as long-standing opposition to gay marriage and abortion.
Following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision overturning federal abortion protections, Republican lawmakers are slowly recognizing that serving a conservative pro-life agenda may negatively impact business growth in their states. Indiana looks to be ground zero.
Roughly one month after Dobbs, Indiana became the first state to enact sweeping new abortion restrictions. Within 24 hours of Senate Bill 1 passing, two of Indiana’s largest employers — Eli Lilly and Co. and Cummins Inc. — issued statements opposing the new legislation.
Lilly expressed concern that “this law will hinder Lilly’s — and Indiana’s — ability to attract diverse scientific, engineering and business talent from around the world.” Cummins’ statement reflected similar apprehensions: “We are deeply concerned about how the law impacts our people and impedes our ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce in Indiana.”
Companies lobbying the public and the legislature on behalf of business interests isn’t new. Couching those interests within the debate over controversial social issues is.
As a professor and researcher at Indiana University, my colleagues and I have studied these sorts of statements and actions over the past several years. We have defined such corporate social advocacy, as it is commonly called, as “the taking of a stance on a controversial sociopolitical issue that risks alienating some stakeholders while signaling to others a shared commitment to values or ideals important to both parties.”
Generally speaking, the economic rationale for such stances is often clear, as is the case with Lilly and Cummins: Each wants to attract and retain talented employees, and they oppose SB1 because they see the measure as hindering that goal. Those concerns appear well founded based on recent Gallup polling.
Still, discerning exactly how deeply these organizations truly care about abortion — or any sociopolitical issue for that matter — is harder to ascertain. However, the words and actions of major players offer clues.
Although the Lilly and Cummins statements focus primarily on business interests, they go further. While Lilly does not outright support abortion access, it has “expanded [its] employee health plan coverage to include travel for reproductive services unavailable locally.” Cummins more forcefully states that it “believes that women should have the right to make reproductive healthcare decisions as a matter of gender equity.” The commitment here appears to run deeper than just economic interests.
However, the after-the-fact timing of the statements likely limited their effect. Legislation is much easier to block than repeal. Public pressure before the vote may have swayed some lawmakers, especially given the vote count: 62-38 in the house, 28-19 in the senate. That gap may appear large, but Republicans hold 71-29 and 39-11 supermajorities in the Indiana house and senate, respectively, so some trepidation existed and perhaps could have been leveraged.
Then again, many Republicans who joined the Democratic opposition did so because they felt SB1 didn’t go far enough. Given that banning or severely restricting abortion access is an existential goal for many Republican lawmakers, it seems unlikely that strongly worded opposition from business leaders will persuade these legislators to revisit the law — even if these companies follow through with devastating economic consequences for the state.
So where does that leave us? Currently, it’s rare for corporations to explicitly endorse or condemn individual candidates, or even political parties. But that may be the next logical step in the abortion case. Every Democrat in both the Indiana house and senate voted against SB1. It follows that companies truly concerned with the abortion ban’s impact might seek to support Democrats, or at least Republicans who lean pro-choice.
Currently, however, the opposite appears true. According to publicly available campaign finance disclosure distributions during 2020, Eli Lilly and its PAC donated $10,000 to the Indiana state Republican Party and nothing to the Democrats. Regarding individual candidates and their election committees, Lilly donated $22,500 to Republican candidates, and just $5,000 to Democrats. Cummins and its PAC tell a similar story, donating $10,300 to Republican candidates, compared to $3,700 to Democrats.
At some level, campaign contributions are simply the price for political access, so a right-leaning imbalance in a red state like Indiana is to be expected. But if companies in our state are truly concerned about abortion access — either because they care about the issue deeply or simply because they believe restrictions will stymie growth — the actions that follow their statements will determine the measure of their convictions. The support they lend, both rhetorically and financially, to candidates opposed to SB1 will serve as a strong signal of their sincerity.
Dr. Nicholas Browning is an associate professor of public relations in Indiana University’s Media School. He serves as the associate editor for the “Journal of Public Relations Research,” and is the co-author of “Writing for Public Relations and Strategic Communication.”

10 things to know about Queen Elizabeth II’s long and remarkable life
Queen Elizabeth II, the only monarch most Britons alive today have known, died Thursday at 96. Here are 10 things to know about her remarkable, and long, life:
1. Britain’s longest-reigning monarch
Elizabeth, who marked 70 years on the throne this year, was the oldest and longest-reigning monarch in British history. In September 2015, she surpassed her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, who reigned for 63 years and 7 months.
In 2016, Elizabeth also became the longest-reigning monarch in the world with the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. In 2022, she became the second-longest-reigning monarch in world history, behind 17th century French King Louis XIV, who took the throne at age 4.
Apart from Elizabeth and Victoria, only four other monarchs in British history have reigned for 50 years or more: George III (59 years), Henry III (56 years), Edward III (50 years) and James VI of Scotland (58 years.)
2. Home schooling
Like many royals of her time and before, Elizabeth never went to a public school and was never exposed to other students. Instead, she was educated at home with Princess Margaret, her younger sister.
Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign was so long that most of Britain’s 68 million people have known no other sovereign.
Among those who taught her was her father, along with a senior teacher at Eton College, several French and Belgian governesses who taught her French, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, who taught her religion.
Elizabeth’s schooling also included learning to ride, swim, dance and the study of fine art and music.
3. “No. 230873”
During World War II, young Princess Elizabeth briefly became known as No. 230873, Second Subaltern Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor of the Auxiliary Transport Service No. 1.
After months of campaigning for her parents’ permission to do something for the war effort, the heir to the throne learned how to drive and service ambulances and trucks. She rose to the rank of honorary Junior commander within months.
4. ‘Great mimicker’
Elizabeth often gave the impression of a serious demeanor, and many have noted her “poker face,” but those who knew her described her as having a mischievous sense of humor and a talent for mimicry in private company.
Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, has said the queen could be “extremely funny in private — and not everybody appreciates how funny she can be.”
Britons mourn the death of long-reigning Queen Elizabeth II and wonder what lies next for their country at a moment of political and economic turmoil.
Bishop Michael Mann, the monarch’s domestic chaplain, once said that “the queen imitating the Concorde landing is one of the funniest things you could see.” Ian Paisley, the Northern Irish clergyman and politician, also noted that Elizabeth was a “great mimicker” of him.
More recently, she showed her mischievous side during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, when she starred in a comic video alongside an animated Paddington Bear and spoke of hiding marmalade sandwiches in her purse.
5. Royal taxpayer
She may have been the queen, but she paid taxes, too — at least since 1992.
When Windsor Castle, the queen’s weekend residence, was ravaged by fire in 1992, the public rebelled against paying millions of pounds for repairs.
But she voluntarily agreed to pay tax on her personal income. She said she would meet 70% of the cost of castle’s restoration work, and she also decided to open her home at Buckingham Palace to the public for the first time to generate extra funds from admission fees.
6. Little Lilibet
The queen was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor of York, in honor of her mother, paternal grandmother and paternal great-grandmother. But as a child, she was endearingly known as young Lilibet by her family — said to be because she couldn’t pronounce “Elizabeth” properly.
“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch,” President Biden said in a statement Thursday. “She defined an era.”
In a letter to her grandmother Queen Mary, the young princess wrote: “Dear Granny. Thank you very much for the lovely little jersey. We loved staying at Sandringham with you. I lost a top front tooth yesterday morning,” before signing off, “Love from Lilibet.”
The nickname became more widely known after Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, named their daughter Lilibet Diana in 2021.
7. A steadfast romance
Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip enjoyed a stable relationship for more than 70 years, a union that far outlasted the marriages of three of her four children: Charles, Anne and Andrew.
“He has been quite simply my strength and stay all these years,” the queen said of Philip on their 50th wedding anniversary.
Their story began in 1939, when Prince Philip of Greece, a handsome 18-year-old naval cadet, was detailed to entertain the 13-year-old Elizabeth for a day. Several years later, Philip was invited to join the royal family at Windsor Castle at Christmas, and he soon made discreet inquiries whether he would be considered an eligible suitor.
The couple married in Westminster Abbey in 1947. When Philip died in 2021 at age 99, Elizabeth described his passing as leaving a “huge void” in her life, according to their son, Andrew.
8. Multiple birthdays
Elizabeth was born April 21, 1926, but it was sometimes confusing for the public to know when to celebrate.
There was no universally fixed day for her “official birthday” — it’s either the first, second or third Saturday in June, and was decided by the government.
For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II miraculously managed to be both universally known and utterly enigmatic. No wonder so many Americans were fascinated.
In Australia, which also recognizes her as its queen, her birthday was celebrated on the second Monday of June, while in Canada, it was marked on a Monday either on or before May 24, Queen Victoria’s birthday.
Only the queen and those closest to her celebrated her actual birthday in private gatherings.
9. How many corgis?
It’s widely known that Elizabeth loved corgis — Princess Diana reportedly called the dogs the queen’s “moving carpet” because they accompanied her everywhere.
She owned more than 30 corgis over the years. She also had two “dorgis” — crossbreeds of dachshund and corgi — named Candy and Vulcan.
Elizabeth was photographed hugging one of the dogs as far back as 1936 at age 10, and was given a corgi named Susan for her 18th birthday. The breed was introduced to the royal family by her father, King George VI, in 1933, when he bought a male corgi called Dookie from a local kennel.
As queen, she also technically owned the thousands of mute swans in open British waters, and had the right to claim all sturgeons, porpoises, whales and dolphins, according to a statute from 1324.
Elizabeth’s and Charles’ lives and temperaments diverged from an early age. What will his legacy be?
10. ‘A pretty nice girl’
The queen inevitably became the subject of pop songs.
The Beatles immortalized her with the tongue-in-cheek “Her Majesty,” calling her “a pretty nice girl” though “she doesn’t have a lot to say.” The brief song, sung by Paul McCartney and recorded in 1969, appeared at the end of the “Abbey Road” album.
Other musical treatments weren’t so kind. The Sex Pistols’ anti-monarchist “God Save the Queen,” released right before her Silver Jubilee in 1977, was banned on British television.

Sarah Cameron Sunde, an interdisciplinary artist, was visiting Maine in 2013 when she noticed something in an ocean inlet. The tide was coming in quickly and completely covered a rock, making it disappear within 30-40 minutes.
It was her eureka moment, the inspiration she had been looking for since Hurricane Sandy devastated her adopted hometown of New York City a year earlier.
The tides struck her as the perfect metaphor for sea level rise, quickly transforming the shoreline in a matter of hours the way climate change will, to a much greater degree, over decades.
Three days later, after some planning and preparation, she returned to the inlet for a "durational performance." Sunde began standing at the edge of the water at low tide, and, in front of other artists from the retreat she had been attending, she continued to stand until the water rose up to her neck. She stayed until the next low tide, nearly 13 hours total.
"I had a moment that I remember very clearly where I was feeling the vastness of the water," Sunde said in a recent interview. "You know, it sounds a little bit cheesy to say, but I was feeling really connected to people on the other side of the planet."
Standing in that cold Maine water, Sunde decided that if she could last the entire tidal period, it wouldn't just be a one-off performance. She'd produce a series of events in coastal locations around the world to demonstrate the threat of climate change.
"There was a moment where I was like, you know, I'm this privileged person," she recalled. "If I'm feeling this this deeply, what are other people feeling—in the Global South especially? How are they dealing with it? And so, I felt like I had to know and understand and learn that."
Sunde has performed her project in eight other locations around the world. Above is a time lapse video of her in Kenya in 2019.
Sunde, supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship and a number of other grants, has since performed her work in places as far flung as Bangladesh, Kenya, New Zealand and the Netherlands. Her ninth and final performance is scheduled for Sept. 14 in New York City.
Planning, planning, planning
As her series has progressed, her "stands," as she calls them, have become increasingly complex. At each location, she gets involved with community members in some sort of environmental initiative. She now livestreams the productions and shows the videos later in art museums and elsewhere. And at the same time that she'll be standing in the water in New York City, collaborators in some of the other places she's performed will be doing their own stands, more or less simultaneously.
Preparations can be lengthy. She has to figure out where she should place herself so spectators can have the best view—in New York City, where she'll be standing on the Queens side of the East River, she wants to get the Manhattan skyline in the frame behind her. And, of course, she also needs to figure out how deep to go in the water so it will rise all the way to her neck at high tide—but not above her mouth.
At a practice stand in late August, a member of Sunde's team, Bella Gallo, unfurls a long rope and sits on a log on the narrow strip of beach where the event will take place. Using a compass to determine the angle, and different knots in the rope to determine the distance, they can determine exactly where she should be at low tide to create the best visual effect.
"I've learned tidal predictions are only predictions. Nothing is guaranteed," Sunde says with a laugh. "That's why I come here a lot. Because when I'm out here all the time, that's how I get to know her, this collaborator of mine—the cove."
Meanwhile, an artist and friend of Sunde, Pamella Allen, is searching for artifacts she can use in an accompanying art work that she'll create on land. A detached buoy that's come in and out with the tides over the past several months catches her eye.
"The buoy will be a central part of it," Allen says. "It keeps coming back. So, it feels like it's a touchstone between the water, the land and the people."
Another team member, Christopher Bisram, grew up nearby and does outreach for Kin to the Cove, a community group Sunde organized that's been conducting beach clean-ups.
"My mom would come a bunch of times with me and I just thought it was a dirty beach," he says. "And then Sarah kind of brought in this awareness of, it's human beings that kind of caused this and we can fix it. So if we just work towards fixing it, then it can happen, right?"
Putting herself out there
Over the course of the afternoon, passers-by look over the seawall to watch Sunde's team and try to make sense of what they are doing. Some of them end up agreeing to help out and show up on the day of the performance, either to watch or stand in the water with her.
"It sounds very daring," says Christopher Calderhead, a neighborhood resident. "You're exposing your body to the elements and sometimes there's a wake, which makes waves in this cove. So, you're taking whatever nature's going to hand out to you and you've got to stay put."
The physical aspect of the work is clearly part of its power. Sunde was 36-and-a-half-years old when she performed her first stand in Maine. (The name of her project is "36.5: A Durational Performance with the Sea.") Now, she's 45. So, to prepare, she is doing yoga, watching what she eats, and taking pains to make sure she'll be free on the day before the performance.
"I'm obsessed with telling everyone that the 13th is a rest day," she says. " I'm 99 percent sure something's going to happen that I'm going to have to deal with, but I'm really trying to hold it as a rest day."

TORONTO (AP) — Elton John paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at his final concert in Toronto on Thursday night, saying he was inspired by her and is sad she is gone.
“She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace and decency and genuine caring,” John said.
“I’m 75 and she’s been with with me all my life and I feel very sad that that she won’t be with me anymore, but I’m glad she’s at peace,” he said. “I’m glad she’s at rest and she deserves it. She worked bloody hard.”
The singer-songwriter then performed his 1974 track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”
The queen died Thursday at her summer residence in Scotland at age 96.
John was knighted by the queen in 1998, a year after the death of his friend Princess Diana. Prince Charles also anointed the musician and charity patron as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honor last year.
John’s concert was the second of two nights at Toronto’s Rogers Centre and part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, billed as his final tour.

A bill purporting to codify same-sex and interracial marriage law is coming to the Senate floor. Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) has promised a vote on it. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) have argued in The Post for the bill. Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), appearing on Fox News’s “Special Report with Bret Baier” this week, also pledged their bipartisan efforts to get the bill passed.
I would probably vote for this bill were I a member of the U.S. Senate — the exact language on religious liberty will be crucial — even though I argued long and hard that the law of marriage belonged to state legislatures. Since the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, tens of thousands of Americans entered into same-sex marriages, just as huge numbers of Americans have entered into multiracial marriages. Stare decisis operates with particular weight on cases the decisions of which led people to rely on the court’s holdings in significant ways. Stare decisis also looks to whether the court’s opinion has “settled the issue” in the country abroad.
The issue of limits on abortion was never “settled” in any way that the ordinary use of the term means. The cases kept coming, year after year. State legislatures kept passing new laws attempting to regulate the procedure, sometimes successfully in front of the Supreme Court, sometimes not. Roe and Casey weren’t even remotely settled or persuasive precedents because the active legal and legislative debate over abortion never ended.
By contrast, Obergefell and 1967′s Loving v. Virginia, which found constitutional grounds for interracial marriage, decisively and conclusively ended the debates on same-sex marriage and interracial marriages. Some people still object, of course. Some state legislators may yet introduce attempts to reverse those precedents. But it isn’t going to work because, unlike Roe and Casey, the questions are settled, in the courts and around the country.
Why then is Schumer bringing the issue to the Senate floor in a rush? Obviously, as Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told me Thursday, to distract from the issues dominating the midterm elections in 2022.
Democrats are in danger of losing control of Congress. They are very likely to lose the House to the GOP. There’s a good chance the Senate will revert to the Republican control if the past is any guide. The GOP, as the real campaign season began, is pleased with the issue set dominating voters’ minds: affordability of everything from groceries to gas, soaring crime and an “open border.” Democrats have set their hopes on Dobbs energizing their base, and perhaps it has.
But President Biden’s ham handed attacks on millions of Donald Trump voters as “semi-fascists” are already being seen as an unforced error if not political malpractice. Biden’s speech last week in Philadelphia, with the harsh red lighting and the ill-used Marines in the shadows, has become the occasion for second-guessing from both right and left about the wisdom of attacking Republican voters two months before the election. The student loan bailout backfired. Interest rates, meanwhile, and the cost of nearly everything just keep rising.
So, Schumer has launched another attempt at a political rescue of Democrats from the Senate, this time with consideration of the same-sex marriage bill. If he holds his 50-vote caucus and the four Republican senators who support it, he still needs six more. His calculation is that even if he cannot find the 60 votes he needs, it is always better for his party’s chances in November if it is caught trying to pass the measure.
Johnson had a different perspective. He calls consideration of the bill the politics of purposeful division. The left, he said, “simply, they cannot let any wound remain healed. ”
“They’ve got to pick the scab,” he told me, “and they’ve got to continue to push these wedge issues.”
Johnson, who is in a close Senate race this year, appeared not to oppose the measure earlier this summer. He is now under attack for waiting until he can see the final language of the proposed law. It is a prudent reservation given the high stakes not just for marriage but for the future of religious liberty.
Having to explain such nuanced positions on the campaign trail takes up time, and diverts attention from the issues Johnson would prefer to be discussing. A distraction, yes, but one that must be dealt with. Which is why Schumer has said there will likely be a vote in the coming weeks.
In doing so, Schumer alarms some people needlessly. He confuses others. It’s great politics. It’s terrible lawmaking.

VENICE, Italy (AP) — Andrew Dominik had been trying to make a movie about Marilyn Monroe for over a decade.
The film wouldn’t be a biopic, but an experiential portrait delving into the psyche of Marilyn Monroe and Norma Jeane. It kept falling apart, but the New Zealand native couldn’t let it go. Then he found Ana de Armas, and, he said, the movie came alive.
“It was like love at first sight,” Dominik said Thursday, before the world premiere of the film at the Venice International Film Festival. “When the right person walks through the door, you know it.”
The nearly three-hour epic is based on a work of biographical fiction by Joyce Carol Oates and examines the public and private life of the Hollywood icon from her troubled childhood as Norma Jeane to her global stardom as Marilyn Monroe and various relationships along the way, from her mother (Julianne Nicholson) to her marriages to Joe DiMaggio (Bobby Cannavale) and Arthur Miller (Adrien Brody).
“I wasn’t very aware of Marilyn. I was familiar with some of her movies, but for me it was a huge discovery and learning process,” de Armas said. “We wanted to honor her in the recreations where she was Marilyn, but I also had a lot of room to create the real woman underneath that character. It was about understanding and empathizing and connecting with her and her pain and her trauma.”
She added: “If you put aside the movie star she is, she’s just a woman, just like me. Same age. It was a project I knew I had to let myself open and go to places I knew were going to be uncomfortable and dark and vulnerable.”
Filming began on Aug. 4, the day Monroe died in 1962 at her home in Los Angeles at age 36. It was an accident and just the result of some delays. But it also was one of many times the filmmaker and his cast felt a somewhat mystical connection to the subject of their film. Though the story takes many liberties with the facts of her life with the intent of getting to the truth of her life, the production did use real locations like the apartment she and her mother lived in when she was a child and the house she died in.
“It took on elements of being like a séance,” Dominik said.
De Armas agreed that “there was something in the air” being in the same places Monroe had lived.
“I wasn’t in character all the time. But I felt that. I was living that. I felt that heaviness and that weight in my shoulders. And I felt that sadness,” de Armas said. “She was all I thought about. She was all I dreamed about. She was all I talked about… It was beautiful. “
“Blonde” has been hotly anticipated for some time: For taking on a figure like Monroe in an experimental way, for its rating, the first ever NC-17 movie that Netflix has made, a designation set by the Motion Picture Association that forbids those younger than 17 from watching the film in the theater. There’s also curiosity around de Armas’s performance. The Cuba-born actor worked with a dialect coach for a year to prepare.
“Storytelling that is as brave as this is essential,” her co-star Brody said.
And for him, de Armas did more than just play the role. She channeled the person.
“The first day of filming, I went home with this sense of awe that I had the privilege of actually working with Marilyn Monroe,” Brody said. “It’s very rare that I can say that someone transported me to another time and place.”
For de Armas, it was about the challenge.
“I did this movie to push myself… to make other people change their opinion about me,” she said, through some tears. “This movie changed my life.”
“Blonde” opens in select theaters starting Sept. 16 before becoming available on Netflix on Sept. 23. It’s one of many Oscar hopefuls launching in Venice, where it is also among the films up for the festival’s awards on Saturday.

BERLIN — German gas importer VNG is seeking help from the government after cuts to Russian gas supplies forced it to buy gas at far higher prices on the market to fulfill its supply contracts.
Ministry spokesman Robert Saeverin said the application had been received but declined to comment on what measures might be considered.
VNG supplies gas to about 400 municipal utilities and industrial operators and met about 20% of German gas requirements last year, according to EnBW.
The move comes after the government in July announced that it would take a roughly 30% stake in Uniper, which has been Germany’s biggest importer of Russian gas, as part of a rescue package prompted by surging prices for natural gas and reduced Russian deliveries.
It also decided to introduce a new levy on natural gas that is aimed at rescuing importers slammed by the Russian cutbacks tied to the war in Ukraine. The government later moved to lower the value-added tax on gas from 19% to 7% until the end of March 2024 in an effort to make up for the effect of the surcharge.
Russia’s Gazprom started reducing energy deliveries to Germany through the main Nord Stream 1 pipeline in mid-June, citing alleged technical problems and the effect of Western sanctions. German officials have dismissed that explanation as an excuse for a political decision to create uncertainty and drive up prices.
Russia, which before the reductions accounted for a bit more than a third of Germany’s gas supplies, has since cut off deliveries through Nord Stream 1 altogether.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Wednesday that Germany is well-placed to get through this winter with enough energy thanks to efforts to shore up supplies from elsewhere and ensure that storage facilities are filled.

DETROIT (AP) — Jeep will start selling two fully electric SUVs in North America and another one in Europe over the next two years.
The new EVs, Jeep’s first, are part of the Stellantis brand’s plans to convert half of its U.S. sales and all of its European sales to battery-electric vehicles by 2030. They’re the first for the brand, and executives are promising that they’ll be fully capable of off-road travel.
The new vehicles include the Jeep Recon, a four-wheel-drive midsize SUV about the size of the Jeep Wrangler and rival Ford’s gas-powered Bronco Sport. It will be produced at an undisclosed North American factory starting in 2024. No range, performance figures or prices were released.
Jeep also will start making an all-electric Wagoneer S midsize luxury SUV in 2024 that also can go off road. The electric extension of the Wagoneer sub-brand is expected to go 400 miles (650 kilometers) on a single charge, have 600 horsepower, and be able to travel from zero to 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in about 3.5 seconds.
The Wagoneer S also will be built in North America at a yet-to-be disclosed factory. No prices were released on this SUV either.
Heading for Europe next year will be the Jeep Avenger compact SUV, the brand’s first fully electric vehicle. Jeep says the small Avenger, with 250 miles (400 kilometers) of range per charge, won’t be coming to the U.S. It’s better suited for Europe, where there’s a strong market for smaller vehicles, executives said.
The Avenger will be officially unveiled Oct. 17 at the Paris Motor Show. It will arrive in showrooms early next year.
Jeep also plans to introduce four all-electric SUVs in North America and Europe by the end of 2025, the executives said.
The Recon, though, will not replace the Jeep Wrangler small SUV, said Christian Meunier, the brand CEO. “The Wrangler is the icon,” he said, without saying there would be an electric Wrangler.
Jeep, he said, is on a path to become the leading zero-emission SUV brand across the globe. The company has a goal of selling the SUVs in China, executives said.

Dr. Derrick Rossi Named Interim CEO
NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) today announced the death of its Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Susan L. Solomon, on September 8th, shortly after she had stepped down as CEO, after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Dr. Derrick Rossi, a member of the NYSCF Board of Directors and co-founder of Moderna Therapeutics, has been named Interim CEO of NYSCF.
NYSCF is a New York-based non-profit organization that supports stem cell scientists around the world and operates the NYSCF Research Institute, the largest independent stem cell laboratory in the United States. As CEO, Ms. Solomon raised over $400M for stem cell research, helping to catalyze the field and transform the future of medical research.
"This is the end of an incredible era for NYSCF," said Dr. Roy Geronemus, Chairman of the NYSCF Board of Directors. "Susan founded this organization in 2005, and guided it for over 17 years. She imagined the impossible and made it happen. I speak on behalf of the entire Board when I say that we will forever be grateful for all she did for NYSCF and for the field of stem cell research to advance better treatments and cures for patients everywhere. We are confident that Dr. Rossi as Interim CEO, and the rest of the NYSCF team, will continue the trajectory that Susan led us on to move NYSCF's mission forward. The Board has begun a search for a permanent CEO."
A lawyer by training and a longtime entrepreneur and business executive, Ms. Solomon began her role as a health-care advocate in 1992 when one of her sons was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After conversations with clinicians and scientists, she identified stem cells as the most promising way to address unmet patient needs and felt an independent organization was needed to help translate cutting-edge stem cell research into clinical breakthroughs and cures for patients. She co-founded NYSCF in 2005. Since then, advances from NYSCF research have twice been named Time magazine's #1 scientific breakthrough of the year, and NYSCF-supported research has led to over 20 major clinical breakthroughs that are already or very soon bringing clinical treatments for devastating diseases. During her time as CEO, Ms. Solomon served on many Boards, including the College Diabetes Network and the Regional Plan Association, and received numerous awards, including the New York State Women of Excellence Award from the Governor of New York, the Triumph Award from the Brooke Ellison Foundation, and recognition as a Living Landmark from the New York Landmarks Conservancy.
During a meeting earlier in the week with NYSCF staff to announce the CEO transition, Ms. Solomon relayed the following message:
"Building NYSCF has been the privilege of a lifetime and I am incredibly proud of the contributions we have made to the field of stem cell research and developing new and more effective treatments and cures to improving the lives of patients. I am confident that our outstanding and dedicated leadership and staff will continue to move our programs forward under Derrick's leadership and that of our longtime COO/CFO Jeff Wallerstein while the Board conducts a search for my successor."
"It has been a great privilege to serve on the NYSCF Board of Directors and I am honored to now serve as Interim CEO," said Dr. Rossi. "Since I first met Susan in 2010 and became a member of the NYSCF community, I have been in awe. Susan was a force of nature, a fierce and effective advocate for science and patients, and a true visionary. She was also a dear friend. Without question, Susan's and NYSCF's impact on science has been enormous and, quite frankly, unmatched. Though I wish that Susan could have continued her incredible and effective leadership of NYSCF for the next hundred years, I am nonetheless honored and ready to lead NYSCF over the coming months as we search for a permanent leader."
Dr. Rossi, a biotechnology entrepreneur and stem cell scientist, is the co-founder of Moderna Therapeutics, and co-founder of Intellia Therapeutics, Magenta Therapeutics, and Stelexis Therapeutics. Until his retirement from academia, he was an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University, and an investigator at Boston Children's Hospital where he led an academic team working on stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. In 2010, Derrick was named a NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Investigator and he joined the Board of Directors in 2020. His efforts in the development of cutting-edge technologies and new therapeutic strategies are at the forefront of regenerative medicine and biotechnology. Time magazine named Dr. Rossi as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world (Time 100) in 2011. Dr. Rossi earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. from University of Toronto, and his PhD from the University of Helsinki.
Prior to founding NYSCF, Ms. Solomon had a diverse career spanning many decades. After graduating from New York University, she received her JD from Rutgers University School of Law while raising her eldest son as a single mother and serving as an editor of the Law Review. She began her career as an attorney at Debevoise & Plimpton. The work she was most passionate about was her pro bono work, including the representation of a woman suing the NYC Fire Department for sexual discrimination based on the firefighting qualification testing that was biased toward male applicants.
She later continued her law career as counsel for Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment Corporation, a joint venture in the then-new industry of cable television to develop television networks, including MTV, Nickelodeon, and Showtime.
After jobs at United Satellite Entertainment and CBS Productions, a film arm of CBS, Ms. Solomon joined MacAndrews & Forbes to help in the area of media acquisitions, and later APAX, formerly MMG Patricof and Company, another financial firm.
Ms. Solomon subsequently joined Sony Corporation to establish and serve as President of a new radio network, Sony Worldwide Networks, which was the first to do internet radio broadcasting. She then moved on to her last media job as the founding CEO of Sothebys.com, where she helped to develop the first online auction platform.
Prior to founding NYSCF in 2005, she started her own strategic management consulting firm, Solomon Partners LLC, through which she worked with a range of non-profit and media companies.
Ms. Solomon is survived by her husband Paul Goldberger and three sons and daughters-in-law, Adam and Delphine Hirsh, Ben Goldberger and Melissa Rothberg, and Alex Goldberger and Carolyna De Laurentiis, and six grandchildren Thibeaux and Josephine Hirsh, Julian and Gabriel Goldberger, and Arlo and Celeste Goldberger.
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is an independent non-profit organization accelerating cures and better treatments for patients through stem cell research. The NYSCF global community includes over 200 researchers at leading institutions worldwide, including the NYSCF – Druckenmiller Fellows, the NYSCF – Robertson Investigators, the NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Prize Recipients, and NYSCF Research Institute scientists and engineers. The NYSCF Research Institute is an acknowledged world leader in stem cell research and in the development of pioneering stem cell technologies, including the NYSCF Global Stem Cell Array®, which is used to create cell lines for laboratories around the globe. NYSCF focuses on translational research in an accelerator model designed to overcome barriers that slow discovery and replace silos with collaboration.

BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SciTec, Inc. was awarded a $272M contract by U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) for Mission Data Processing Application Provider (MDPAP) to deliver critical applications for the Space Force's missile warning mission as part of the Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) program. The FORGE program supports the continued operations of legacy Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) capabilities while delivering modernized enterprise solutions extensible to the next generation of Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) sensors.
This contract resulted from a year-long prototype competition conducted through the Space Enterprise Consortium Other Transaction Authority (SpEC OTA) among three teams led by non-traditional companies.
"The prototyping effort under SpEC allowed us to develop and demonstrate key aspects of our modular, scalable, extensible, and cyber-resilient applications for FORGE Mission Data Processing (MDP) that we build upon through this follow-on contract to meet the no-fail mission." said David Simenc, SciTec's Executive Director and lead for FORGE. "We're thrilled to be leading the same purpose-built team who've been with us throughout the prototype and continue our partnership with SSC and the entire FORGE team to rapidly deliver the next generation capabilities for the nation."
Teammates include Centil, Cosmic Advanced Engineering Solutions, L3Harris Technologies, Monterey Technologies, Outside Analytics, and Raytheon Technologies.
Under MDPAP, SciTec will further develop, tune, and integrate advanced algorithms, signal processing, graphical user interfaces, and data communications components to deliver operational software baselines for the real-time strategic and theater missile warning missions. Jim Lisowski, SciTec's CEO shares that their code leverages a heritage of capabilities which "are deployed today in satellite ground stations, command and control centers, government laboratories, community clouds, and on-board small satellite systems providing basis for a low-risk and high-performance MDPAP solution."
"Our OPIR MDP capabilities were developed through R&D programs like the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and other Broad Agency Announcements and honed through operational trials via Rapid Innovation Fund, SBIR Phase III, and SSC's Tools Applications and Processing Lab (TAP Lab) programs," added Mr. Lisowski. "The programs provided the resources to research tough data processing challenges like dim target tracking and then provided the 'trial by fire' as we integrated into operational systems and received operator feedback."
FORGE MDPAP will deliver modernized mission processing capabilities aligned with the current and future OPIR space segments and capabilities necessary to address the evolving threat. MDPAP's extensible architecture supports legacy SBIRS, comprised of Geosynchronous Earth Orbits (GEO) satellites and polar coverage Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) satellites; the SBIRS NextGen GEO and NexGen Polar systems; as well as emerging Low and Medium Earth Orbit (LEO/MEO) systems. This modernization includes development of a new intuitive, user-defined interface to enable mission operations across this increased space layer and improve ease of use for space operators.
SciTec, a non-traditional small business headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, specializes in delivering mission processing, simulation, systems engineering, and instrumentation and test capabilities supporting integrated air and missile defense and aircraft survivability. The MDPAP effort will be executed out of our Boulder, Colorado "App Factory" with the distributed Agile development effort supported by SciTec personnel in our Princeton; Dayton, Ohio; El Segundo, California; Huntsville, Alabama; and Herndon, Virginia offices as well as our teammate facilities.

A Missouri boarding school already under scrutiny amid physical and sexual abuse allegations may soon be shut down, following a judge’s ruling.
Cedar County Circuit Judge David Munton signed an order Wednesday night to close Agape Boarding School in Stockton after the Missouri attorney general’s office and the state Department of Social Services filed petitions citing evidence that someone on the state registry for child abuse and neglect was actively working there.
But early Thursday, Munton stated in a court document that before closing the school he wanted the sheriff to confirm that the employee is still working at Agape. Officials have not said whether that’s the case, and a hearing originally scheduled for Thursday to decide Agape’s fate was postponed until Monday.
“Agape’s employment of a staff member who is listed on the state’s Child Abuse/Neglect Central Registry presents an immediate health and safety concern for the children residing at Agape,” the petition from Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office stated. “This new development is sadly consistent with the dark pattern of behavior at Agape previously exposed by the Attorney General’s Office and DSS.”
Agape’s lawyer, John Schultz, said the school remains open. The judge noted in Missouri’s online court filing system that the state and Agape agreed that two Children’s Division workers will have access “to observe the children there” until the hearing occurs.
“My Office has continued to monitor and investigate this situation and when we learned that there was a clear violation of the law, we took swift and decisive action,” Schmitt said in a statement. “We have worked closely with DSS to put into place a Court ordered plan to allow constant on-site monitoring of the children at Agape by DSS to ensure their safety until the hearing is held.”
Munton’s order, if carried out, would require the removal of all 63 boys at Agape, and require assessments of their health, safety and well-being.
Allegations of physical and sexual abuse at Agape and nearby Christian boarding school Circle of Hope Girls’ Ranch prompted a state law last year requiring stricter oversight of such facilities. Among other things, the new law allows state or local authorities to petition the court for closure of a facility if there is believed to be an immediate health or safety threat to the children.
Last year, Agape’s longtime doctor, David Smock, was charged with child sex crimes and five employees were charged with low-level abuse counts. Schmitt’s office contended that 22 workers should have been charged, and with more serious crimes. But in Missouri, only the local prosecutor can file charges, and Cedar County Prosecuting Attorney Ty Gaither has said no additional employees would be charged.
Meanwhile, the husband-and-wife founders of Circle of Hope, Boyd and Stephanie Householder, face a combined 99 charges that include child abuse and neglect, sex crimes and other counts. The school was ordered shut down in 2020 amid the investigation.
Several lawsuits filed on behalf of former students also have named Agape and Circle of Hope.

- Operating income increased by 30.3% to $287.4 million, or 23.6% of sales, compared to 21.4% of sales
- Diluted net earnings per common share increased by 37.5% to $0.66 from $0.48
- 13 net new stores opened, compared to 13 net new stores
- 3,690,894 common shares repurchased for cancellation for $274.9 million
"Our strong performance in the first half of Fiscal 2023 reflects a sustained consumer response to our unique value proposition, especially for everyday essentials, as Canadians from all walks of life adapt to a high-inflation environment. As a result, we are increasing our assumption for annual comparable store sales growth to between 6.5% and 7.5%," said Neil Rossy, President and CEO.
"As we strive to provide Canadians with a wide variety of merchandise, I am pleased with our progress rebuilding our inventory, thereby ensuring that our conveniently located stores are well-stocked for our customers ahead of key seasons in the second half of the fiscal year," Mr. Rossy added.
Sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 increased by 18.2% to $1,217.1 million, compared to $1,029.3 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This increase was driven by growth in the total number of stores over the past 12 months (from 1,381 stores on August 1, 2021, to 1,444 stores on July 31, 2022) and in comparable store sales.
Comparable store sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 increased by 13.2% consisting of a 20.2% increase in the number of transactions and a 5.8% decrease in average transaction size. The increase in comparable store sales is primarily attributable to higher sales of consumables, as well as seasonal products. Comparable store sales in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year declined 5.1%, primarily as a result of the ban on the sale of non-essential goods in Ontario in place for the first 5.5 weeks of the quarter, where approximately 40% of the Corporation's stores are located.
EBITDA totalled $369.4 million, or 30.4% of sales, for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, compared to $293.7 million, or 28.5% of sales, in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022.
Gross margin(1) was 43.6% of sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, compared to 43.4% of sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. Gross margin was slightly higher due to lower logistics costs, partially offset by a change in the sales mix with stronger sales of consumables, and higher freight costs.
General, administrative and store operating expenses ("SG&A") for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 increased by only 7.1% to $168.3 million, compared to $157.1 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. SG&A represented 13.8% of sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, compared to 15.3% of sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. This improvement is primarily attributed to the fact that incremental direct costs related to COVID-19 measures for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 were nil, compared to $11.7 million, representing a 115 basis-point impact, in the same period last year.
The Corporation's 50.1% share of Dollarcity's net earnings for the period from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 was $7.7 million, compared to $4.1 million for the same period last year, reflecting a strong financial and operational performance by Dollarcity. The Corporation's investment in Dollarcity is accounted for as a joint arrangement using the equity method.
Financing costs increased by $3.8 million, from $22.9 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 to $26.7 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023. The increase is mainly due to higher average debt levels and a slightly higher average borrowing rate.
Net earnings were $193.5 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, compared to $146.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022.
Inventory increased to $823.4 million as at July 31, 2022 from $586.3 million on August 1, 2021. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to higher in-transit inventory as the Corporation rebuilds its inventory to pre-pandemic levels and reflecting the purchasing of fall and winter seasonal goods earlier than historically in the context of global supply chain disruptions.
During its second quarter ended June 30, 2022, Dollarcity opened 19 net new stores, compared to 15 net new stores in the same period last year. As at June 30, 2022, Dollarcity had 377 stores with 222 locations in Colombia, 80 in Guatemala, 61 in El Salvador and 14 in Peru. This compares to 350 stores as at December 31, 2021.
On July 5, 2022, the Corporation announced the renewal of its normal course issuer bid and the approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to repurchase for cancellation up to 18,713,765 common shares, representing 7.5% of the public float as at the close of markets on June 30, 2022, during the 12‑month period from July 7, 2022 to July 6, 2023 (the "2022-2023 NCIB").
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, 3,690,894 common shares were repurchased for cancellation under the 2022-2023 NCIB and the normal course issuer bid previously in effect, for a total cash consideration of $274.9 million, at a weighted average price of $74.48 per share. As at July 31, 2022, the Corporation's adjusted net debt to EBITDA(1) ratio was 2.79 times.
On September 9, 2022, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend for holders of common shares of $0.0553 per common share. This dividend is payable on November 4, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 7, 2022. The dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian tax purposes.
In the second half of Fiscal 2023, the Corporation expects to continue to benefit from strong demand for its affordable, everyday items at compelling value in the context of inflation, including stronger demand than historically for lower-margin consumable products. In this context, the Corporation has increased its comparable store sales growth assumption for Fiscal 2023 from a range of 4.0% to 5.0% to the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. The Corporation's financial annual guidance ranges for Fiscal 2023 issued on March 30, 2022, as well as all other previously disclosed assumptions on which these ranges are based, remain unchanged.
As previously disclosed, the Corporation expects the following for Fiscal 2023:
- To open 60 to 70 net new stores
- Gross margin as a percentage of sales to be in the range of 42.9% to 43.9%
- SG&A as a percentage of sales to be in the range of 13.8% to 14.3%
- To deploy $160 million to $170 million in capital expenditures
- To actively repurchase shares under its normal course issuer bid
These guidance ranges are based on several assumptions, including the following:

Selected Consolidated Financial Information
The Corporation prepares its financial information in accordance with GAAP. We have included non-GAAP and other financial measures to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. We believe that those measures are important supplemental metrics of operating and financial performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on our operating and financial performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-GAAP and other financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-GAAP and other financial measures in order to facilitate operating and financial performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual budgets, and to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
The below-described non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
(A) Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA
EBITDA represents operating income plus depreciation and amortization and includes the Corporation's share of net earnings of its equity-accounted investment.
Total debt
Total debt represents the sum of long-term debt (including unamortized debt issue costs, accrued interest and fair value hedge – basis adjustment), short-term borrowings under the US commercial paper program and other bank indebtedness (if any).
Net debt represents total debt minus cash.
(B) Non-GAAP Ratios
Adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio
Adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio is a ratio calculated using adjusted net debt over consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months.
EBITDA margin
EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by sales.
(C) Supplementary Financial Measures

Announcing the world's first asteroid "29438 Zhengjia (1997 MV)" named after an enterprise engaging in public education and the opening ceremony of Grandview Museum of Science & Grandview Museum of Astronomy
GUANGZHOU,China, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 8, 2022, asteroid No.29438 was officially named "29438 Zhengjia (1997 MV)", the phonetic spelling of Grandview in Chinese, and the opening ceremony of Grandview Museum of Science and Grandview Museum of Astronomy was held at Guangzhou Marriott Hotel. This is the first asteroid named after an enterprise engaging in public education by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which represents not only the recognition and affirmation on the Grandview Group's contribution to citizens' science education by international and domestic scientific and educational societies, but also the expectation and encouragement for the future development of astronomy research and popular science education in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. The opening ceremony also announced the official opening of Grandview Museum of Science and Grandview Museum of Astronomy, two new members of the "Grandview Planet".
On June 26, 1997, an asteroid was detected and recorded at Xinglong Observatory of National Astronomical Observatories (NAOC). This year, with the approval of the WG Small Bodies Nomenclature, this asteroid was officially named "29438 Zhengjia (1997 MV)". Chen Jiansheng, astrophysicist and academician of University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, presented the certificate of asteroid naming to Grandview Group. "The naming of 29438 Zhengjia (1997 MV) is a gift from the NAOC and the IAU to Grandview Group, which is committed to promoting the development of astronomical science popularization and research education in the form of public welfare venues," said Academician Chang Jin, Director of the NAOC, at the event.
The Group will join hands with the NAOC, to build the Grandview Astronomical Education Center. Notably, the pictures of Xinglong Observatory will be sent to Grandview Astronomical Education Center in real time. In this way, the public are invited to explore the mysteries above the starry sky together.
Max Xie, Vice Chairman and CEO of Grandview Group Co., Ltd., said at the ceremony, "Imagination is the gene engraved in our bones.

Project would build upon prior research to blend electrolytic hydrogen into existing pipelines
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) today announced a proposed collaboration to demonstrate how electrolytic hydrogen can be safely blended into existing natural gas infrastructure on the university's campus. The project aims to help better understand how clean fuels like renewable hydrogen could be delivered at scale through California's existing natural gas system, either to existing customers connected to the gas grid, or to generate clean electricity in zero-emissions fuel cells. The demonstration is an important next step in establishing a statewide injection standard for renewable hydrogen that would promote California's clean energy and resiliency goals. If approved, SoCalGas could begin testing hydrogen blending at UCI as soon as 2024.
"The use of existing natural gas networks to transport renewable hydrogen is actively being pursued around the world because clean fuels like hydrogen can do many of the critical jobs that natural gas does today," said Neil Navin, vice president for clean energy innovations at SoCalGas. "This demonstration project offers a real-world environment to better understand how clean fuel blends can be delivered to customers connected to the gas grid today. It can also help us assess how to more quickly deploy advanced technologies key to the state's climate and clean air goals such as neighborhood micro-grids that promote reliability and resiliency."
"Research at UCI has shown that we cannot achieve high renewable power use without the features of hydrogen," said Jack Brouwer, UCI professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and director of the UCI-based National Fuel Cell Research Center. "The massive storage and resilient underground transmission and distribution of renewable energy that will be enabled by transformation of the gas system to renewable and clean hydrogen use will be investigated and advanced in this important effort."
"The current heat wave we are experiencing makes clear the urgency of decarbonizing our economy as quickly as possible," said Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine). "I'm proud to represent UC Irvine, which has been a leading research hub for new green technologies, including in the important area of hydrogen fuel. UCI is an ideal location for this demonstration project, which should help us make significant progress in fighting climate change and restoring a bright future for our children and grandchildren."
SoCalGas' collaboration with UCI is part of a hydrogen blending demonstration application jointly filed with San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and Southwest Gas yesterday with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
The demonstration project builds upon the California Public Utilities Commission "Hydrogen Blending Impacts Study," performed by University of California, Riverside (UCR). The study recommended testing hydrogen blending in a real-world environment as an important step toward establishing a California hydrogen blending standard, which could accelerate the state's clean energy and resiliency goals.
As proposed, UCI would use an electrolyzer to convert water into hydrogen for blending into the existing gas grid on sections of the UCI campus. The demonstration would power existing residential and light commercial equipment, including water heaters, boilers, furnaces, and ovens in academic buildings, student amenities, and housing. The project would initially blend 5 percent hydrogen, with a goal of gradually increasing the hydrogen blend up to 20 percent, resulting in potentially significant CO2 emissions reductions.
"Hydrogen will play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions while also enabling access to clean energy in various sectors of our economy," said Kristine Wiley, vice president of the Hydrogen Technology Center at GTI Energy. "Advancing how we integrate hydrogen into our energy system is critical to the scale up and implementation of this technology. This project will be a proving ground for how we leverage our existing infrastructure to transport and supply clean hydrogen."
"The establishment of a statewide renewable hydrogen blending standard could help scale green hydrogen production, which in turn can drive down costs for its widespread adoption across the state," said Navin. "A 20% clean hydrogen blend in a system as large as Southern California's could reduce CO2 emissions in an amount equivalent to removing more than a million passenger vehicles from the road for a year."
"Hydrogen blending provides real and meaningful opportunities for participation in the clean energy economy for the tens of thousands of highly skilled southern California union members who build, operate, and maintain the natural gas utility infrastructure today," said Jon Preciado, business manager for the Southern California District Council of Laborers.
SoCalGas is at the forefront of sustainability having announced its aim to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. It is the first large natural gas utility in the United States to do so.
SoCalGas' net zero strategy demonstrates the potential of innovative clean fuels like renewable hydrogen. More than a dozen hydrogen pilot projects are currently in progress within SoCalGas. These projects include testing a technology designed to separate out hydrogen blended into natural gas pipelines. The technology could allow quick access to pure hydrogen which could be transported as a blend in existing natural gas pipelines.
SoCalGas is also constructing a renewable hydrogen microgrid and home as part of its [H2] Innovation Experience. The renewable hydrogen microgrid for the [H2] Innovation Experience is a proof-of-concept project for resilient, clean energy using an electrolyzer to convert solar energy to hydrogen and a fuel cell to supply electricity to a home, neighborhood, or small business. The project was named a World-Changing Idea in North America by Fast Company.
Additionally, earlier this year SoCalGas proposed developing the Angeles Link, a dedicated green hydrogen energy infrastructure system for delivering clean reliable energy to the Los Angeles Basin to serve hard to electrify sectors of the economy like electric generation, heavy-duty transportation, and heavy industry and manufacturing.
SoCalGas is a recognized industry leader in hydrogen innovation. The company first partnered with UCI's National Fuel Cell Research Center in 2016 for the first successful green hydrogen blending project in the United States.
More information about SoCalGas' hydrogen innovation can be found at socalgas.com/hydrogen.

The Bay Area’s housing market is not known for its affordability. But as home prices continue to drop here, more and more cities are giving San Francisco’s pricey reputation a run for its money in the real estate department.
According to RealtyHop’s latest housing affordability index, six cities have housing markets more unaffordable than San Francisco’s. The index is ranked based on median household income, local property taxes, median for-sale prices and mortgage expenses.
With a median home price of $1,388,000, San Francisco is ranked as the seventh least-affordable housing market in the nation. The city’s median household income of $126,117, which is notably higher than in most places the index lists, could contribute to why it’s ranked lower than you’d expect. The average SF family would need to use 66.56% of its yearly income to afford a home.
Miami was ranked as the least-affordable housing market with a median home price of $610,000 and a median household income of $44,581. With a 5.5% interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the average Miami family would need to spend 87.39% of its annual income to afford a home. Los Angeles is slightly more affordable, with a median home price just shy of $1 million at $975,000 and a median household income of $69,695. The average LA family would need to spend 85.34% of its income to afford a home.
New York City was predictably unaffordable, coming in as the third least-affordable city. With a median household income of $68,129 and a median home price of $925,000, an average family would need to spend 82.47% of its yearly income to afford a home.
Newark, New Jersey’s largest metropolis, is ranked fourth in the index, followed by Hialeah, Florida, which borders Miami.
Sixth on the index is my hometown of Long Beach, which doesn’t surprise me, considering most of the people I grew up with can’t afford to live there anymore. The median home price in the LBC is $799,000 and the median household income is $70,677, meaning the average family there needs 69.77% of its yearly income to afford a home.
After San Francisco at No. 7, the eighth, ninth and 10th spots on the index are all in Southern California — San Diego, Anaheim and Santa Ana, respectively. Oakland ranks right after them at No. 11, with a median home price of $798,000 and a median household income of $82,649.

Sir Elton John paid a heartfelt tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at his concert in Toronto on Thursday night. During his second night of shows, the singer-songwriter praised the monarch and said she will be "missed".
The 75-year-old told his audience the Queen had led Britain through “some of our greatest and darkest moments”. He added how she was an “inspiring presence”, as he reflected on the 96-year-old’s death.
“She was an inspiring presence to be around… she was fantastic,” he told the crowds, adding: “She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace and decency and a genuine caring warmth.
“I’m 75 and she’s been with me all my life and I feel very sad that she won’t be with me anymore, but I’m glad she’s at peace, and I’m glad she’s at rest and she deserves it.
“She worked b***** hard. I send my love to her family and her loved ones. She’ll be missed… but we’ll celebrate her life tonight with music, OK?”
Sir Elton, who was knighted by the Queen in 1998, then went into a rendition of his 1974 track Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me. An image of the monarch smiling, wearing a bright purple coat and hat, were displayed on the screens while he paid tribute.
Following the announcement of the Queen’s death, the Rocket Man singer shared a statement on social media in which he said he would "miss her dearly".
“Along with the rest of the nation, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing,” Sir Elton wrote: “Queen Elizabeth has been a huge part of my life from childhood to this day, and I will miss her dearly.”
The King invested the musician and charity patron as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour at a ceremony at Windsor Castle last year. The singer also sang at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.

Ukrainian nuke plant operating tenuously as war persists
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s state nuclear energy operator said Friday that Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, caught in the Ukraine-Russia war, is operating in emergency mode with elevated risk.
The six-reactor Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant came under the control of Russian forces early in the war that started in February, but is being operated by Ukrainian staff. The plant and surrounding areas have been repeatedly hit by shelling that Russia and Ukraine blame on each other’s forces.
The last power line connecting the plant to the Ukrainian electricity grid was cut on Monday, leaving the plant without an outside source of electricity and receiving power for its own safety systems from the only one of the six reactors that remains operational.
Energoatom, the state nuclear operator, said Friday that repairs to the outside lines are impossible because of the shelling and that operating in the so-called “island” carries “the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards.”
“Only the withdrawal of the Russians from the plant and the creation of a security zone around it can normalize the situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Only then will the world be able to exhale,” Petro Kotin, the head of Energoatom, said Friday on Ukrainian TV.
Fighting continued Friday in parts of southern and eastern Ukraine and in the north where Ukraine claims to have recently pushed Russian forces out of some areas.
Russian planes bombed the hospital in the town of Velika Pysarivka, on the border with Russia, said Dmytro Zhyvytskyi, governor of the Sumy region. he said the building was destroyed and there were an unknown number of casualties.
Four people were killed in shelling in the Kharkiv region, two of them in Kharkiv city, Ukraine’s second-largest, according to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov. Ukraine this week claimed to have regained control of more than 20 settlements in the Kharkiv region, including the small city of Balakliya.
Social media posts showed weeping and smiling Balakliya residents embracing Ukrainian soldiers.
In the Donetsk region in the east — one of two that Russia declared to be sovereign states at the outset of the war — eight people were killed in the city of Bakhmut over the past day and the city is without water and electricity for the fourth straight day, said governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.

Organza isn’t usually associated with “power dressing.” The lightweight, transparent fabric is often used to create cloudlike evening dresses; wedding veils; and other garments with soft, overtly feminine cultural connotations. But when soprano Amina Edris puts on the gold organza cape made for the San Francisco Opera’s centennial season-opening production of “Antony and Cleopatra,” the material suddenly takes on a surprising strength.
“There are certain costume elements that when they’re on your body, it bumps up your awareness of the person that you are supposed to be,” Edris told The Chronicle in her dressing room just weeks before her debut as Cleopatra on Saturday, Sept. 10. “I would say that’s very evident with this.”
The pleats on the floor-length costume, designed by Constance Hoffman, are reminiscent of armor as it moves, like joined metal flexing in battle. The top V-shape of the cape, worn over a bronze satin gown, folds over Edris’ arms like an eagle’s wings. When put together for the stage, it’s an ensemble that mixes authority and romantic vulnerability that is at the center of this telling of Cleopatra’s story.
Centuries after her death in 30 B.C., Cleopatra remains one of the most famous women in the world, and one whose story has been told and retold. But while the opera is based in part on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare, the new work by Berkeley composer John Adams isn’t conceived as a straightforward biographical voyage down the Nile.
Adams and El Cerrito-based director Elkhanah Pulitzer have set the stage for an opera that explores the cultural lenses Cleopatra has been viewed through and depicts the ruler as one of the stars of antiquity. With the use of projections that reference media ranging from vintage newsreel footage to classic films, the production seeks to build a world that shows how the queen and her Roman lover Mark Antony lived under a kind of celebrity spotlight we didn’t think existed before the 20th century. This will be illustrated with set and costume designs that hark back as much to the grandeur and glamour of 1930s Hollywood as it does the ancient world.
“Both of these civilizations, Rome and Egypt, they’re sort of proto-epic stories,” said set designer Mimi Lien. “One of the things I’ve been interested in is the exotification of Egypt and Cleopatra versus this Apollonian, masculine vision of Rome.”
The monumental qualities of Egypt and Rome will be conveyed through Art Deco, a style known for its geometric motifs and emphasis on streamlined designs often associated with classic Hollywood. The ultra-moderne work of MGM set designer Cedric Gibbons became a major inspiration for Lien’s two primary stage units, which will transform into different settings during the opera. Lien also looked at photos of Gibbons’ Santa Monica home, which he shared with his wife, actress Dolores del Rio, for inspiration. Gibbons co-designed the house with Canadian-born American architect Douglas Honnold, utilizing details like the stepped, receding frames around doors to help create the illusion of scale.
“When you look at the connection between Egypt in 30 BCE and then at 1930s Art Deco, you see Art Deco is literally derived from that,” said Lien. “It felt like the perfect decision to marry these two eras.”
While both Lien and Hoffman cite Cecil B. DeMille’s 1934 “Cleopatra” film starring Claudette Colbert as the version closest to the aesthetic of Adams’ new opera, Lien also took inspiration from a particular image of Elizabeth Taylor as the queen in Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s 1963 film.
“During her entrance to Rome (being pulled on a giant sphinx) she has on this stepped headdress; we used that and this black obsidian quality of the sphinx all over the set,” said Lien. “I wanted it to be quite simple and geometric and abstract.”
For Hoffman, simplicity and geometry were also key in designing Cleopatra’s costumes.
“She’s a woman who has been an icon for centuries,” Hoffman said. “I felt a huge responsibility to figure out who she was to me, particularly in the content of the play. I think Shakespeare humanizes them both and also looks at how power can blind (both) people.”
In building Cleopatra’s overall look, Hoffman was particularly interested in the tension between Cleopatra’s sense of her own humanity as a wife, mother and ruler and the contradiction that she was raised to believe she was the human incarnation of the goddess Isis.
“I wondered, how does that level of celebrity, being a deity, how does that interact with your sense of being a human?” said Hoffman.
Of the seven costumes that Edris will wear as Cleopatra, several will evoke imagery related to Isis. These include a feather-like cloak referencing the goddess’ transformation into a bird in Egyptian mythology, a bias-cut pewter gown recalling ancient statuary icons and a spectacular gold ensemble she wears in a ceremonial scene in a film projection.
For Edris, who was announced in the role in May, one of the first times it sank in that she would be embodying the famed queen was when she put on one of the character’s gold Isis ensembles with headdress to film a scene that will be projected during the opera.
“They showed me footage of Abu Simbel and Hatshepsut and the Valley of Kings, and then there’s a silhouette of me in that costume with the headdress,” said Edris, who is Egyptian and spent her childhood in the country before moving to New Zealand at age 10. “I think that’s when it shifted for me. Both of my parents worked in tourism — all those glorious places, I’ve seen them numerous times.”
Edris added that in the moment, she felt an enormous sense of responsibility to her home country.
“The costume made me feel alive and allowed me to just imagine me being her,” she said. “As I was sitting in the costume being filmed, I started singing the Egyptian anthem in my head.”

As a general rule, California voters agree that, even in tough times, education spending has to remain a top priority. In 1998, voters ratified Proposition 98, which mandated that, at a minimum, roughly 40% of California’s budget has to go to schools and community colleges each year.
Prop. 28 would build off that mandate.
The measure would guarantee a sum totaling 1% of California’s Prop. 98 funding be set aside for arts and music programs. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates this could mean $1 billion annually, 80% of which would go toward hiring arts and music instructors. The measure would not raise taxes, and schools with a high percentage of students from low-income households would receive a greater percentage of funding than wealthy schools. Only 1% of Prop. 98 money could go to administrative costs.
California law already requires that all middle school and high school students receive varying degrees of instruction in visual and performing arts. But even now, amid a huge budget surplus, an overwhelming majority of California public school students don’t receive a sustained arts education. Only 1-in-5 schools have a full-time art or music program, according to Prop. 28 proponents. In a state where 60% of students are considered economically disadvantaged, that means many likely never will get access to creative instruction.
That’s unacceptable. Studies routinely show arts education isn’t an indulgence, it’s essential.
An 11-year study in Boston found that arts education is a key bulwark against chronic absenteeism. Students and parents were more engaged in schools where art and music were a part of the curriculum — which lead to better test scores in some instances.
With rampant learning loss and flight of students from the public school system stemming from the pandemic, any effort that can get kids excited about school again, and regain the trust of parents, is a worthy endeavor. Moreover, in California’s dynamic 21st century economy — where lucrative careers in graphic arts, film and television, and tech are available to those with creative skills — denying students robust art instruction can have the practical effect of preemptively cutting off access to some of the best jobs our state has to offer.
There is no official opposition to Prop. 28. However, there is a good government argument to be made against the measure, even if few are doing so.
“Set-asides” like Prop. 28 remove flexibility from the budget process. In flush times, like California currently enjoys, it’s easy to throw money around. But when the budget belt needs to be tightened, tying public officials’ hands makes it difficult to balance priorities.
Former Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner, Prop. 28’s top backer, admitted in an endorsement interview that the measure is a “blunt instrument.” But he noted that it contains checks and balances against economic catastrophe; it can be amended with a two-thirds vote from the Legislature. This means that if legislators are going to take money away from kids, they will have to stand before voters and do so openly, not behind the scenes in opaque budget negotiations.
Education spending isn’t capricious. Neither are the arts. California’s kids need and deserve a more robust commitment on both fronts from voters. That means saying “yes” to Prop. 28 on Nov. 8.

His Majesty King Charles III has announced his wish that a period of royal mourning will be observed from now until seven days after The Queen's funeral, which is likely to take place on September 19. The King offered his first statement as sovereign last night to pay tribute to his mother's legacy. He said: "The death of my beloved mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world. During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held.”
While hundreds of tributes have flooded in from global celebrities and political figures, as well as those from crowned heads of state, there have been many ways that Her Majesty has already been mourned. One of these traditions is a fairly recent addition as it was first introduced following the shock death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 and is something that has never been carried out for any previous monarch.

Ever since the first sovereign lived at Buckingham Palace up until the day of Diana's funeral on September 6, 1997, it had been customary for the Royal Standard to be flown over the palace to denote that the monarch was in residence. When Diana died, Her Majesty was at Balmoral Castle which explained why there was no flag was on display over Buckingham Palace.
However, growing public hostility towards The Firm was becoming more and more vocal, with many saying that they felt that a flag should be flown at half-mast to show respect to the late princess. This move was entirely unprecedented and had never been done before when the likes of King George V and King George VI died.
The Queen ultimately then allowed the Union Flag to be flown at half-mast over Buckingham Palace on the day of Diana's funeral. This departure from tradition altered royal protocol as the Union Flag now flies above the palace whenever the monarch is not in residence.
It is then changed to the Royal Standard when they are there. In the years that followed, the flag has been lowered to half-mast to mark the death of The Queen Mother in 2002, the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the July 7 London bombings in 2005.
This decision to bend to public sentiment and fly the Union flag at half-mast has shaped how Her Majesty The Queen is being remembered as all previous monarchs, including the late Queen's father, never had the same style of tribute.
Her Majesty The Queen's death yesterday (Thursday, September 8) was announced from Balmoral Castle. It is said that she died 'peacefully' and was surrounded by her two eldest children, King Charles and The Princess Royal.
The simple statement from Buckingham Palace which was released yesterday read: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
The King and The Queen Consort have left their Scottish estate of Birkhall and are making their way to Aberdeen Airport to get their flight back to London. A busy day of events will follow for the new monarch as he will be holding a meeting with Prime Minister Liz Truss and will be officially proclaimed King in a meeting of the Accession Council at St James's Palace.
