Apple joins Yahoo, Google, Fastmail, and Valimail to extend the BIMI standard to hundreds of millions more inboxes globally.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Valimail, the global leader in zero-trust, authentication-based solutions for email, welcomes Apple's support of Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) — a vendor-neutral standards body and global effort created to enhance security and user experience in the email ecosystem — spearheaded by major ISPs and Valimail.
Apple has included BIMI in its iOS 16 and macOS Ventura releases this fall. The company's estimated 850 million email users — 58.4% of desktop client market share — will benefit from stronger brand protection and amplification.
Developed by the AuthIndicators Working Group, BIMI enables brands to deliver validated logos alongside validated email messages to billions of inboxes worldwide, increasing customer engagement with those messages and boosts brand trust.
Email veteran Josh Aberant and Alexander García-Tobar, CEO of Valimail, co-founded the AuthIndicators Working Group in 2015. Valimail remains a committed leader of the group, working to strengthen email authentication and brand trust for the entire ecosystem, not just its own customers.
Apple's implementation, like Google's and Fastmail's, requires a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC), to ensure that the displayed logo is legitimate and belongs to the brand sending the email. Brands can now ensure their logos are accurately displayed in all corporate email while also reducing the risk of logo abuse or fraud by bad actors. With BIMI, brands can control and manage their logos when sending emails to their employees, partners, and customers.
"I applaud Apple for adopting the BIMI standard with VMC, which shows the company's continued commitment to security and excellent user experiences," said Seth Blank, CTO at Valimail and Chair of the AuthIndicators (BIMI) Working Group.
To take advantage of BIMI, companies must be using strong authentication, which requires proper implementation of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) at enforcement. DMARC ensures proper validation of sender identity. With 89% of phishing attacks beginning with sender identity fraud, DMARC offers a critical safeguard against cyber criminals from sending fraudulent mail.
Valimail understands the challenges inherent in properly authenticating email. According to the company's research, while DMARC adoption has increased in the past 5 years, fewer than 10.8% of DMARC implementations ever successfully reach enforcement. Businesses and organizations using DMARC enhance their security and reduce business risk.
"Apple's support for BIMI is critical for the growth of the ecosystem. With their participation, hundreds of millions of more inboxes will reap the benefits of enhanced security and a better customer experience which the BIMI standard provides," Blank noted.
Earlier this summer, Apple released the second developer beta of iOS 16, which includes support of the BIMI standard. With today's general release of the updated operating system, the BIMI standard now protects all Apple mail users.
With Yahoo, AOL, Gmail, and now Apple implementing BIMI, the email ecosystem is receiving yet another boost to its coverage and logo display functionality. Apple's support will increase the incentive for other mailbox providers — including Microsoft Outlook, Tencent and Netease — to also implement BIMI.

Truly autonomous cars may be impossible without helpful human touch
The central premise of autonomous vehicles - that computers and artificial intelligence will dramatically reduce accidents caused by human error - has driven much of the research and investment.
MILTON KEYNES, England -Autonomous vehicle (AV) startups have raised tens of billions of dollars based on promises to develop truly self-driving cars, but industry executives and experts say remote human supervisors may be needed permanently to help robot drivers in trouble.
The central premise of autonomous vehicles - that computers and artificial intelligence will dramatically reduce accidents caused by human error - has driven much of the research and investment.
But there is a catch: Making robot cars that can drive more safely than people is immensely tough because self-driving software systems simply lack humans' ability to predict and assess risk quickly, especially when encountering unexpected incidents or "edge cases."
"Well, my question would be, 'Why?'" said Kyle Vogt, CEO of Cruise, a unit of General Motors, when asked if he could see a point where remote human overseers should be removed from operations.
"I can provide my customers peace of mind knowing there is always a human there to help if needed," Vogt said. "I don't know why I'd ever want to get rid of that."
This is the first time Cruise has acknowledged the long-term need for remote human operators.
Like air traffic controllers, such human supervisors could be sitting tens of hundreds of miles away monitoring video feeds from multiple AVs, sometimes with a steering wheel, ready to step in and get stuck robot drivers moving again - AVs invariably stop when they cannot figure out what to do.
Alphabet Inc's Waymo and Argo, which is backed by Ford Motor Co and Volkswagen AG, declined to comment when asked the same question.
GM recalled and updated software in 80 Cruise self-driving vehicles this month after a June crash in San Francisco left two people injured. U.S. safety regulators said the recalled software could "incorrectly predict" an oncoming vehicle's path, and Cruise said the unusual scenario would not recur after the update.
For some, the idea that human supervisors could be here to stay raises more doubts about the technology.
Truly autonomous vehicles are far behind the optimistic rollout schedules predicted just a few years ago.
In 2018, GM sought U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car without a steering wheel, brake or accelerator pedals that would enter its commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. That vehicle, the Cruise Origin, now is not slated to begin production until spring 2023, Vogt said.
In 2019, Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk promised a million robotaxis "next year for sure" - though his company's "Full Self Driving" offering has been criticized because its cars are not capable of driving themselves without a human behind the wheel and ready to take manual control in an emergency.
In a June interview on YouTube, Musk said developing self-driving cars was "way harder than I originally thought, by far." But when asked for a timeline, he said Tesla could make it "this year."
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
The undelivered promise of true autonomy has raised the stakes for the AV industry.
"If these companies don't succeed over the next two years, they're not going to exist anymore," said Mike Wagner, CEO of Edge Case Research, which helps AV companies assess, manage and insure risk. "It's a case of put up or shut up at this point."
REMOTE HUMANS WATCHING
Many AV startups today use humans as remote supervisors, alongside safety drivers sitting behind the wheel.
Those remote humans are an additional expense, but help self-driving cars handle edge cases. These could include something as basic as an unfamiliar set of lane closures during road construction, or erratic, unpredictable behavior by pedestrians or human drivers.
When a robot driver encounters an edge case, "it puts its hands up and says, 'I don't know what's going on,'" said Koosha Kaveh, CEO of Imperium Drive, which is using humans as remote operators for cars in the English city of Milton Keynes. Over time, those people will act as "air traffic controllers," supervising a growing number of autonomous cars.
Cruise's Vogt says the company's AVs on the roads in San Francisco currently rely on humans less than 1% of the time. But across hundreds, thousands or even millions of AVs, that would add up to a significant amount of time stopped on the road waiting for human guidance.
Imperium Drive's Kaveh said as more self-driving cars - which are more predictable than humans - hit the roads the number of edge cases will drop, "but you will never get to zero edge cases."
"Even decades from now you will not get to 100% truly autonomous vehicles," Kaveh added.
Nevertheless, competition is rising. Some Chinese cities are pushing to allow active AV testing more quickly.
The need to tackle edge cases and cut the costs of everything from sensors to the number of humans in the loop in order to get to market has also intensified because investor funding for autonomous cars has plummeted.
Doubt has crept in as investors puzzle over how soon autonomous business will turn profitable. Simpler or slower AVs like trucks or last-mile delivery services operating on highways or on set, low-speed routes are likely to reach profitability first, but will still take years to get there.
Overall investment in future mobility startups has slowed, with AV-focused companies hit especially hard, representing less than 10% of venture investment in the second quarter, according to investor website PitchBook. (Graphic: https://tmsnrt.rs/3Rzy04y)
Investment in AV startups in the quarter dropped to $958 million. Just two years ago AV investment was booming, as Alphabet's Waymo raised $3 billion, Didi's AV unit raised $500 million and Amazon.com Inc acquired AV startup Zoox for $1.3 billion, according to PitchBook.
'RUSH TO MARKET'
Autonomous systems are not as capable as people because their "perception and prediction algorithms are not as good as how a human brain processes and decides," said Chris Borroni-Bird, an independent consultant who previously led advanced-vehicle programs at GM and Waymo.
For instance, a human when seeing a ball roll into the road - harmless by itself - will assume it could be followed by a child and hit the brakes far quicker than an AV, Borroni-Bird said.
"I am concerned that AV companies will rush to market without proving the safety is better than human-driven vehicles," he added.
The problem is there are "tens of billions of potential edge cases" that AVs could encounter, said James Routh, CEO of AB Dynamics, which conducts tests and runs simulations on cars including on the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that are the foundation of autonomous driving features.
Auto data startup Wejo Group Ltd receives 18 billion data points daily from millions of connected cars and is helping with simulations for AVs, said Sarah Larner, executive vice president for strategy and innovation.
"But there are so many variables such as weather, you can take an edge case and then have to layer in all the different variants," she said. "It's truly millions of outputs."
DRIVERLESS DELIVERY
In its track tests for cars, AB Dynamics employs a robot arm that it plans to retrofit on slow-moving mining and agricultural trucks to make them largely autonomous.
Routh envisages a remote team of humans supervising fleets of, for instance, self-driving mining trucks operating in closed environments.
He does not see that scenario working for vehicles in faster, more open environments because it could be difficult for remote human supervisors to react quickly enough to dangers.
Within the next 12 months, British online food delivery and technology company Ocado Group Plc will roll out a small fleet of driverless delivery vehicles with autonomous vehicle software startup Oxbotica - backed by remote human supervisors - that will operate on just a few streets on set routes in a small UK city and never drive at speeds above 30 miles (48 km) per hour.
"At 30 miles an hour, if a vehicle panics, it can hit the emergency brake and seek help," Ocado's head of advanced technology, Alex Harvey, said. "This feels like a very viable strategy at low speed."
"But you can't play that game on a motorway," Harvey added, because hard stops in edge cases would pose a safety risk.
Harvey said it should take around five years for Ocado to develop a profitable driverless delivery system. More than half of Ocado's UK customers could be reached with AVs driving no more than 40 mph he said. Eventually, the service could be rolled out to Ocado clients like U.S. retail chain Kroger Co.

ATLANTA (AP) — A new coach. A bunch of guys coming back from injuries. A 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
None of it flustered the New Orleans Saints, who pulled off a stunning comeback Sunday.
Wil Lutz kicked a 51-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining after Jameis Winston guided a pair of lighting-quick touchdown drives, giving the Saints a 27-26 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Dennis Allen’s coaching debut.
“It was exciting,” Winston said with a smile. “We’ve just got to find a way to get there quicker.”
After struggling offensively through most of the season opener, the Saints finally found their rhythm.
Winston threw for 269 yards after going down last season on Halloween with a knee injury. Michael Thomas hauled in a pair of fourth-quarter TD passes in his first game since the 2020 season, having missed an entire campaign with complications from an ankle injury.
And Lutz delivered at the end, showing he’s fully recovered from a core issue that kept him out for all of 2021.
“I’m happy with our resilience,” Winston said. “We never gave up.”
Winston hooked up with Thomas on touchdown passes of 3 and 9 yards. The Saints converted one 2-point try, but failed on the other, leaving the Falcons clinging to a 26-24 lead.
New Orleans got the ball back one more time, taking over at its own 20 with 48 seconds remaining and no timeouts.
No problem.
Winston connected on a 40-yard pass to Jarvis Landry and a 17-yarder to Juwan Johnson to set up Lutz’s winning field goal.
A personal foul on the Saints gave the Falcons a chance to pull out the victory, but Younghoe Koo’s 63-yard field goal attempt was blocked as the clock ran out.
It was a stirring start to the Allen era.
Sean Payton, who coached the team for 15 years and led New Orleans to its lone Super Bowl title, surprisingly stepped down after last season.
His defensive coordinator got the job, even though Allen’s first head coaching stint resulted in a record of 8-28 with the Raiders in 2012-14.
Make it 9-28.
“I hope they’re not all like that,” Allen said. “Look, our team is tough and gritty. That’s what I love about ’em. That’s exactly the way they played in this game. It wasn’t perfect. We’ve got a ton of things to clean up.”
The Falcons, who have seemingly never recovered from squandering a 28-3 lead in the 2017 Super Bowl, added another meltdown to their resume in their first game of the post-Matt Ryan era.
Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for a career-high 120 yards, including a 5-yard scoring burst, and Marcus Mariota made his first start since 2019 as Ryan’s replacement.
Mariota threw for 215 yards and added 72 on the ground, highlight by a 2-yard touchdown run.
But in the end, the Falcons let what seemed like a sure victory get away.
“You guys wrote our obituary back in May and you’ll continue to write our obituary,” second-year coach Arthur Smith grumbled to reporters. “Who cares? We’ve got 16 games to learn from this and get better.”
Winston was sacked four times by a team that had a league-low 18 sacks a year ago. He passed for just 24 yards in the first half, but made all the throws when it really counted.
Landry had seven catches for 114 yards, and Thomas finished with five catches for 57 yards.
“It was a blessing to be back out there with the guys,” said Thomas, who had an NFL-record 149 receptions in 2019 but was playing just his eighth game since then.
SECOND CHANCE
Lutz was kicking himself after his first field goal attempt from 44 yards hit the left upright.
He bounced back to make a 49-yarder before connecting on the game-winner.
“Obviously, coming off a miss is tough,” Lutz said. “But that’s what we signed up to do. I’m grateful the defense gave me a chance to get back out there and the offense put me in position to make the kick. It feels really good.”
SACK ATTACK
One bright spot for the Falcons was their pass rush.
The four sacks was the most by Atlanta since its next-to-last contest of the 2020 season at Kansas City. The Falcons had an NFL-low 18 sacks a year ago, never managing more than three in a game.
Grady Jarrett was credited with 1 1/2 sacks, teaming with Lorenzo Carter on one of them. Mykal Walker and Arnold Ebiketie also had sacks.
PROMISING STARTS
Both teams got plenty of production from their first-round rookie receivers.
Drake London, the No. 8 overall selection, led the Falcons with five catches for 74 yards.
Chris Olave, the No. 11 choice by the Saints, had three receptions for 41 yards and hauled in another catch on New Orleans’ successful 2-point conversion.
INJURY REPORT
Atlanta RB Damien Williams sustained a rib injury in the first quarter, forcing Patterson to take on the bulk of the running load. The Falcons activated only one other back, Avery Williams, choosing not to play rookie Tyler Allgeier.
UP NEXT
Saints: Home opener next Sunday against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Falcons: Hit the road to face the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in the first of two straight West Coast games.

LONDON (AP) — People wanting to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II as she lies in state at the Houses of Parliament in London need to be prepared for a long wait.
The government has published guidelines for people wishing to file past the late queen’s closed coffin as it lies in state at the Palace of Westminster from 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) Wednesday until 6:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) on Sept. 19. Thousands are expected to want to pay tribute to the only monarch that many in the United Kingdom have ever known.
The rules were made public a day after thousands of people lined roads and bridges Sunday as a hearse carried the queen’s coffin across the Scottish countryside from her beloved Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh.
“If you wish to attend the Lying-in-State, please note that there will be a queue, which is expected to be very long. You will need to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little opportunity to sit down as the queue will be continuously moving,” the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said in its guidelines.
The closed coffin of the monarch who died Thursday at 96 will rest on a raised platform called a catafalque in Westminster Hall at the Houses of Parliament.
“Large crowds are expected, and there are likely to be delays on public transport and road closures around the area,” the ministry warned.
Visitors will have to pass through airport-style security and can only bring one small bag with one zipper opening. Larger bags can be stowed at a special facility — but only if there is space available.
The ministry advises people to bring essentials for a potentially long wait exposed to whatever elements an early fall day in London can throw at them — an umbrella or sunscreen, a cell phone power bank and any needed medication.
No food or liquids will be allowed past security screening at the Houses of Parliament. Nor will flowers or other tributes such as candles, toys or photographs.
“Please respect the dignity of this event and behave appropriately. You should remain silent while inside the Palace of Westminster,” the advice says, adding that people must dress appropriately and turn off their mobile phones before going through security.
Included in a list of things not to do: “Film, photograph, use mobile phones or other handheld devices in the security search area or within the Palace of Westminster. Bring or erect gazebos or tents. Light barbecues and fires.”
And a long list of prohibited items includes fireworks, smoke canisters, flares, whistles, laser devices and other items that could be used to cause a disturbance as well as any banners, placards, flags, advertising or marketing messages.

FORESTHILL, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters made progress against a huge Northern California wildfire that was still growing and threatening thousands of mountain homes on Sunday, while crews also battled major blazes that blanketed large swaths of Oregon and Washington in smoke.
The Mosquito Fire in foothills east of Sacramento spread to nearly 65 square miles (168 square kilometers), with 10% containment, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire.
“Cooler temperatures and higher humidity assisted with moderating some fire activity,” but higher winds allowed the flames to push to the north and northeast, according to a Cal Fire incident report Sunday.
More than 5,800 structures in Placer and El Dorado counties were under threat and some 11,000 residents of communities including Foresthill and Georgetown were under evacuation orders.
In Southern California, cooler temperatures and rain brought respite to firefighters battling the massive Fairview Fire about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles after sweltering heat last week.
The 44-square-mile (114-square-kilometer) blaze was 45% contained Sunday. The fire has destroyed at least 30 homes and other structures in Riverside County. Two people died while fleeing flames last Monday.
A helicopter assisting with operations in the Fairview Fire crashed in a residential backyard while attempting to land at a local airport Saturday afternoon, fire officials said. Injuries to the pilot and two others were not critical.
The southern part of the state welcomed the cooler weekend weather as a tropical storm veered off the Pacific Coast and faded, helping put an end to blistering temperatures that nearly overwhelmed the state’s electrical grid.
Thunderstorms and the risk of flooding persisted in mountainous areas of greater Los Angeles on Sunday. But after Hurricane Kay made landfall in Mexico last week it quickly was downgraded and weakened further until it largely disappeared, forecasters said.
To the north, remnants of Kay caused flooding Saturday that stranded about 40 vehicles and closed a stretch of State Route 190 in Death Valley National Park. The park was still cleaning up from floods five weeks ago that closed many key roads.
In Washington state, fire officials were scrambling to secure resources in the battle against a blaze sparked Saturday in the remote Stevens Pass area that sent hikers fleeing and forced evacuations of mountain communities. There was no containment Sunday of the Bolt Creek Fire, which had scorched nearly 12 square miles (31 square kilometers) of forestland about an hour and a half east of Seattle.
“The fire will continue to advance in areas that will be unstaffed. With limited resources, only point protection will be in place while resources continue to mobilize to the fire,” said a Sunday morning incident report.
California’s Mosquito Fire has covered a large portion of the Northern Sierra region with smoke. California health officials urged people in affected areas to stay indoors where possible. Organizers of the Tour de Tahoe canceled the annual 72-mile (115-km) bicycle ride scheduled Sunday around Lake Tahoe because of the heavy smoke from the blaze — more than 50 miles (80 km) away. Last year’s ride was canceled because of smoke from another big fire south of Tahoe.
The Mosquito Fire’s cause remained under investigation. Pacific Gas & Electric said unspecified “electrical activity” occurred close in time to the report of the fire on Tuesday.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in state history.
And the rest of the West hasn’t been immune. There were at least 18 large fires burning in Oregon and Washington, leading to evacuations and targeted power outages near Portland as the challenge of dry and windy conditions continued in the region.
Sprawling areas of western Oregon choked by thick smoke from the fires in recent days were expected to see improved air quality on Sunday thanks to a returning onshore flow, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
South of Portland, more than 3,000 residents were under new evacuation orders because of the 134-square-mile (347-square-kilometer) Cedar Creek Fire, which has burned for over a month across Lane and Deschutes counties. Firefighters were protecting remote homes in Oakridge, Westfir and surrounding mountain communities.
According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, this weekend there were more than 400 square miles (1,035 square kilometers) of active, uncontained fires and nearly 5,000 people on the ground fighting them in the two northwestern states.

LONDON (AP) — People wanting to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II as she lies in state at the Houses of Parliament in London need to be prepared for a long wait.
The government has published guidelines for people wishing to file past the late queen’s closed coffin as it lies in state at the Palace of Westminster from 5 p.m. (1600 GMT) Wednesday until 6:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) on Sept. 19.

Navy helping North Gaston grad create future
Seaman Apprentice Joana Guevara, a native of Gastonia, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex.
Guevara joined the Navy in January. Today, Guevara serves as a culinary specialist.
“I was looking for better opportunities to learn different skills and explore different experiences,” said Guevara.
Growing up in Gastonia, Guevara attended North Gaston High School and graduated in 2020.
“I want to send a shoutout to my mom, Christina, and my stepdad, Jose,” said Guevara. "Also, I want to say hello to my friends and cousins back home.”
Today, Guevara relies upon skills and values similar to those found in Gastonia to succeed in the military.
“I learned the importance of respect and teamwork in Gastonia,” said Guevara. "You can't do everything by yourself, and in the Navy, there's always a strong support system. The Navy is also diverse, so it's important to respect others who may come from different backgrounds."
These lessons have helped Guevara while serving in the Navy.
The Dam Neck site is located on Virginia's Atlantic shore near where the first Jamestown settlers landed and where the infamous Blackbeard and other pirates were said to have buried treasures.
This area is also where battles of the Revolutionary War were fought, where Blue and Gray clashed during the Civil War, and where German submarines sank American shipping vessels within yards of the beach during World War II.
Today, the U.S. Navy uses the site for training and support services to meet fleet requirements.
"Serving in the Navy means Guevara is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on strengthening alliances, modernizing capabilities, increasing capacities and maintaining military readiness in support of the National Defense Strategy."
“Having a strong Navy gives our nation the confidence it needs to defend our freedoms,” said Guevara.
With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea, and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to ready sailors and a strong Navy.
“Maintaining the world’s best Navy is an investment in the security and prosperity of the United States, as well as the stability of our world,” said Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of Naval Operations. “The U.S. Navy — forward deployed and integrated with all elements of national power — deters conflict, strengthens our alliances and partnerships, and guarantees free and open access to the world’s oceans. As the United States responds to the security environment through integrated deterrence, our Navy must continue to deploy forward and campaign with a ready, capable, combat-credible fleet.”
Guevara and the sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service.
“In boot camp, I was an honor grad,” said Guevara. "This gave me the confidence to succeed. The Navy rewards you when you do well based on what you do."
As Guevara and other sailors continue to train and perform missions, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy.
“Serving in the Navy gives me the opportunity the protect those I care about back home,” added Guevara.

A boil advisory remains in effect in Jackson, Mississippi, as people complain of brown water coming from their faucets.
The water crisis in Jackson has stretched over weeks. Residents were left with low or no water pressure after water treatment plants failed during a flooding event in August.
Jackson's mayor says the water pressure issues have been fixed, but it will be days before the boil advisory can be lifted.
Mayor Chokwe Lumumba said on "Face the Nation" that he's been in discussions with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris about getting more funding to make sure the issue is fixed and doesn't happen again.
"It will take a coordinated effort on not only the local, state, but federal levels as well," Lumumba said.
Jackson is home to about 150,000 residents. Many of them have been forced to wait in distribution lines to access packaged water that's been given out by the city and organizations.

- The Dolphin Solar Canopy includes 665 solar panels that are expected to produce nearly 250 kilowatts of AC power (kWac) when operating at peak production.
- The clean energy generated by the solar panels goes directly onto the grid to serve Duke Energy customers in Florida.
- Duke Energy is also installing four (4) electric vehicle (EV) charging stations inside CMA's parking garage for use by guests, staff, interns, and volunteers.
- The Dolphin Solar Canopy at CMA is the latest solar facility contributing to Duke Energy's efforts to have 1,500 megawatts of solar generation in Florida by 2024.
CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwater Marine Aquarium is now harvesting the power of the sun in collaboration with Duke Energy by installing 250 kWac solar photovoltaic panels for Florida customers.
"Bringing solar to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium will have such a meaningful impact on our environment, the marine life that are cared for at this facility and the thousands of visitors who leave inspired to make a difference in the communities we serve," said Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president.
The Dolphin Solar Canopy is located on the top floor of Clearwater Marine Aquarium's parking garage. The 665 solar panels will provide shade for vehicles parked beneath it and will produce enough clean energy to effectively replace carbon emissions created from burning the equivalent of over 313,000 pounds of coal each year.
"The same building that provides us the opportunity to share the work we do in the wild to preserve our environment with guests around the world is now able to serve a dual purpose," said Lisa Oliver, Clearwater Marine Aquarium COO. "Through our partners at Duke Energy, we are now able to take advantage of our building footprint in a whole new way by providing clean energy for folks throughout Florida."
Duke Energy also installed four Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations on the second floor of CMA's parking garage. CMA guests, staff, interns and volunteers are able to use the charging stations for their EV needs.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium opened its $80 million expansion in 2020 including a 1.5 million-gallon habitat for resident bottlenose dolphins Hope, Apollo, PJ, Nicholas and Hemingway.

Whether Rep. John Roth was considered a legitimate candidate in the 104th House district Republican primary in August is a matter of contention after it is alleged he failed to meet the filing requirements ahead of the contest.
Roth, R-Green Lake Township, moved to the newly drawn district sometime in earlier this year in order to escape a contest with fellow Republican Rep. Jack O’Malley of Lake Ann. In doing so, he changed his address with the state but did not change his voter registration in time for the primary – making him not a registered elector of the district by time of the primary.
Michigan election law indicates a candidate for the legislature must be a “registered and qualified elector of the district he or she represents by the filing deadline.” The same statute also defines a “qualified elector” as being someone who has lived in the area for at least 30 days.
The deadline to file for candidacy was April 19 for those running in state House or Senate races.

Jake Rollow, an official with the Department of State, said Roth publicly that he’d attempted to update his driver’s license – thinking that, in turn, would update his registration – but that the agency has “no record of him attempting to do so, including no record of him creating an online account with our office.”
Speaking with MLive Monday, however, Roth says that he has proof he was on the Secretary of State’s website on Saturday, March 19, updating his driver’s license and voter registration.
“Why that didn’t come through ... I can’t tell you,” he said. “I know I did it right, and they just want to use it now to badmouth me.”
The district Roth is running to represent sits in the northwest corner of the lower peninsula and includes the counties of Antrim, Benzie, Grand Travers, Maninstee and Kalkaska, as well as the northern part of Wexford County.
The Detroit News has reported that he registered as a voter in Green Lake Township in the district on Monday, May 23 – more than two months after he filed an affidavit of identity to run in the district, and well past the April filing deadline – after previously updating the address on his driver’s license March 19.
It is not totally clear if there is a mechanism for removing him from the ballot at this point, given the election has long since passed and ballot language was finalized Friday, Sept. 9.
Cathy Albro, the Democratic challenger Roth will face off against come Nov. 8, said late last week that Roth “deceived his potential constituents” by not having self-reported the snafu with his voting registration.
That said, Albro told the outlet Gongwer News Service that she was not planning to pursue legal action to take Roth off the ballot, nor was the state Democratic Party.
“All candidates must play by the same rules and we sign a filing form attesting to the truth. If I realized I was not in compliance with a rule, I would report it immediately,” Albro said in a statement. “I expect that my opponent would do the same. Anything short of that, is dishonest.”
When asked for a response to Albro’s statement, Roth simply told MLive that the only reason for the topic making headlines was because she “can’t debate me on the policy issues.”
“It really is just dirty tricks,” he said.

Loneliness is about the scariest things out there.
Whenever we feel anxious or depressed, don’t ignore the feeling. Anxiety & depression are serious mental health conditions that affect our lives. The signs are obvious & taking action may seem difficult but the truth is you’re not alone. And you’re definitely not weak or even a failure. Being alone is good but being lonely is the worst.
You’ve got yourself & your biggest ally in this fight is your brain.
I read an article written by Ann Tenzin Palmo, the English woman who spent 12 years in a cave in Tibet, she wrote “We do not know what a thought is, yet we’re thinking all the time.”
Isn’t it true? The amount of knowledge we have about the brain has tripled in the recent times, yet there is so much we are not aware about it. We are still trying to decipher the space & the brain.
The Brain is an organ, and it’s within our power to take good care of it, just like we take care of the organs of our body. You care for it, fine-tune it like a knife is honed on a whetstone, sharpen it & it shall take care of you.
Think of a routine, It is the basic foundation of your brain health blueprint. As you’re planning your routine, you need to focus on the following five (5) to promote positive brain health.
They are
- Social Connect (Establish)
- Sleep & Rest (Indulge)
- Meditation (To Do)
- Exercise & Games (Regularize)
- Reading (Essential)
If you read about the blue zones in the world too, you shall be able to sum it up that the afore-mentioned routine is something that all of them follow to stay happy in their lives. So, even though the heart has been considered the seat of emotions, it is the brain which is the true home of our feelings.
Over centuries the brain tissues have evolved much more than the regular biochemical interaction between the limbic system and the frontal lobes. The frontal lobes are involved in both higher level thought and emotion, so our thinking affects the way we feel & vice versa.
Simply speaking, “We can use our thoughts to change our feelings in a very important way, that is towards happiness.” This is the fundamental on which the CBT or cognitive -behavioural therapy interventions are used to treat anxiety & depression.
So how about using the same brain to handle your mood swings & feeling low? Would you be interested in learning more about the tricks & tips to train your brain? If yes, write to one@sheetalnair.com
Remember the brain is a muscle which can move the world, so moving you into a safer & happier zone shouldn’t be too much of a task or even an ask.

To Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, BlockBar Will Exclusively Auction an Extra-Rare Vintage of 1800 Colección Tequila, Custom-Designed Decanter by Renowned Artist Leonora Carrington, a Once-in-a-Lifetime Invitation to the Birthplace of Tequila and a Tour of Leonora Carrington's Exclusive Art Collection in Tequila, Mexico
JERSEY CITY, N.J., Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, 1800 Tequila, the world's most awarded tequila, will release its first ever NFT corresponding to a bottle of its coveted 1800 Colección Tequila, one of the rarest tequilas in the world. 1800 Tequila worked closely with celebrated surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, prior to her passing, to curate a unique decanter titled "El Rey del Tequila" complementing 1800 Colección rare extra añejo tequila. Carrington created only 15 of these silver-sculpted masterpieces fifteen years ago; never released for public sale. Now only one of these prized decanters is available for the first time as an ultra-exclusive collectible with a starting bid of USD $25,000 exclusively on BlockBar.com, the world's first DTC NFT marketplace for luxury wines and spirits.
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, 1800 Tequila will be the first ever tequila to auction on BlockBar.com. Ownership of the NFT includes the "El Rey del Tequila" (2009) Leonora Carrington-designed decanter accompanied by a bottle of 1800 Colección Tequila. The buyer will be invited to visit Jalisco, Mexico for a private tequila tasting at La Rojeña distillery, Latin America's oldest distillery and the birthplace of tequila. They will also tour Leonora's Carrington's exclusive art collection showcasing her connection to the heritage of 1800 Tequila and allowing for a complete immersion in the land that inspired both Carrington and 220 years of 1800 Tequila quality and tradition.
"We're delighted to mark Hispanic Heritage Month by hosting our first ever tequila auction with the iconic 1800 Tequila," comments Dov Falic, Co-Founder and CEO of BlockBar. "1800 Tequila has a history of partnering with world-renowned artists and this unique, never-made-available-before decanter designed by surrealist artist Leonora Carrington makes this auction highly desirable for tequila and art lovers alike."
1800 Colección Tequila celebrates excellence in taste, in both tequila and in art, with past vintages having been paired with decanters custom-designed by renowned creators including Gary Baseman, Bosco Sodi and Hector Velazquez Ortus. As a first for luxury collectors worldwide, this year the brand is releasing one exclusive, limited-edition 1800 Colección Tequila vintage aged in ex-single malt whiskey casks from the United Kingdom as a nod to Leonora Carrington's birthplace. As a deep-rooted Mexican heritage brand, 1800 Tequila commissioned Leonora Carrington, widely considered one of the most important artists in Mexico during the 20th century, to design a unique decanter complementing the ultra-rare liquid of 1800 Colección Tequila. The British surrealist artist was such an admirer of the agave plant and the liquid derived from it after arriving in Mexico in the 1940's, that she designed "El Rey del Tequila" ("The King of Tequila") decanter as a tribute. To be paired with the corresponding bottle of 1800 Colección Tequila, the silver sculpture is infused with amorphous characteristics intrinsic to her work, reflecting the fascinating magic of the heart of the agave.
Only produced and released in the finest years of production, 1800 Colección Tequila is the pinnacle of liquid superiority and a result of a delicate artisan process meticulously supervised by Master Distiller Alejandro Coronado, who creates a special balanced blend between it and the finest aged tequila reserves. 1800 Colección Tequila begins with the selection of the highest-quality agaves that have reached optimum maturity. Following 1800 Tequila tradition, the agaves are steam cooked for several days in stone ovens obtaining a very selected extract, which is then distilled twice, followed by several years of slow aging in ex-single malt whiskey casks. The result is an exquisite, distinctively aged extra añejo tequila with a silky consistency, deep golden color and smooth mellow taste with a subtle touch of caramel, honey and almond that is one of the finest vintages in existence – numbered, limited and certified.
"Always at the forefront of culture, 1800 Tequila partnered with BlockBar to release its first NFT to bring the centuries-old tequila-making tradition to a new audience who appreciates luxury spirits and unique, high-value art," says Lander Otegui, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Proximo Spirits. "A decades-long champion and benefactor of art and culture, 1800 Tequila will contribute 50% of the proceeds from the 1800 Colección Tequila NFT sale directly back to the Council of Leonora Carrington for preservation of various collections including drawings, sculptures and textiles. With a new generation of luxury spirits drinkers and art collectors, this will be the first of many 1800 Colección Tequila NFTs to come."
1800 Colección "El Rey del Tequila" bottle and decanter will be auctioned off with a starting bid of USD $25,000 from 10:00am EST on Monday, September 12th, ending at midnight on Thursday, September 15th. Bids can be placed via BlockBar.com and payment may be submitted via ETH, credit card or wire transfer. To make a bid using ETH you must have the funds in your wallet and be connected to BlockBar. At midnight, all winning bidders have two hours to submit the full balance. Full terms and conditions may be found on BlockBar.com.

A Virginia man thought he won $600 in the state lottery when he actually won a lot more than that.
According to state lottery officials, Jose Flores Velasquez took his 20X the Money ticket to Virginia Lottery's customer service center to claim his prize. However, lottery employees quickly realized Velasquez actually won $1 million.
Officials said Velasquez bought the winning ticket when he stopped by a Safeway grocery store in Annandale after work to purchase a pack of soft drinks.
Velasquez had the option to take the entire $1 million prize over 30 years or take it as a one-time cash payment of $759,878 before taxes, officials said.
The news release said He took the cash.
According to the lottery officials, the store that he bought the ticket from will receive a $10,000 bonus from Virginia Lottery.
Velasquez said he plans to use the money to take care of his family and possibly start his own business, lottery officials said.

Route revealed for Queen´s last journey from Scotland
Details of the route the Queen’s coffin will take as it leaves Scotland for the last time have been revealed.
Elizabeth II is lying in state at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, and council leader Cammy Day said the city would “look back with immense pride” at the role it has played since the Queen’s death.
The Scottish capital has been packed with mourners, with thousands lining its historic streets to see the coffin arrive on Sunday, and then again on Monday when there was a service of thanksgiving at St Giles’.
After lying in state there overnight on Monday, members of the public will be able to process past the Queen’s coffin in the church until about 3pm on Tuesday.
The Queen will leave Scotland for the final time, heading along Lawnmarket to Johnston Terrace and then on to Castle Terrace and Lothian Road.
From there it will travel along Queensferry Street, Dean Bridge, Queensferry Road, Maybury Road and then Turnhouse Road, before arriving at Edinburgh Airport.
(Phil Wilkinson/The Scotsman/PA)
Edinburgh City Council confirmed a number of roads would be closed to the public to allow for the cortege to make the journey.
Mr Day said: “As a city, we will look back with immense pride at the role we’ve played in hosting these momentous events as the world looked on.
“As we say farewell to Her Majesty, and welcome our new sovereign King Charles III, I want to pay tribute to the incredible support shown by the public and our communities over the past few days, truly capturing the spirit of the Queen and her connection to Scotland and Edinburgh.”
With more disruption expected on Tuesday, he urged people “to continue to bear with us and consider their travel needs”.
Mr Day also urged those arriving to pay their respects to the Queen – either at St Giles’ or by lining the route – to dress appropriately for the weather, and be prepared for long periods of standing.

This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET's collection of news, tips and advice around Apple's most popular product.
iPhone users with compatible iPhones can now download iOS 16. Released today, the latest version of the iPhone operating system software adds a bevy of excellent new features -- and brings back one that users have missed for years. I'm not sure why Apple removed it, but I'm sure glad to have it back.
I'm talking about the battery percentage meter. Stick with me now.
It's well known that phone buyers prioritize battery life (and a 2022 Deloitte mobile trends survey is the latest to prove it). But five years ago, Apple removed the convenient battery meter option, which made it easy to see the exact status of your power reserves no matter what you're doing. After a five-year hiatus, you can once again see your iPhone's battery percentage in the status bar -- from anywhere on your device.
We'll tell you what you need to know about this comeback feature in iOS 16, how to check your battery status now and why we like the returning feature better. Here's what to know about new iPhone 14 features like the redesigned notch, or "Dynamic Island" and an always-on display.
What's the deal with the battery status meter on the iPhone?
iPhones used to include the exact percentage of your battery right on the status bar. But after the iPhone X release, which introduced the notch -- the black bar at the top of your device that houses a speaker and camera -- there wasn't enough screen real estate left to keep the battery percentage in the status bar, so Apple nixed the feature.
Sure, you can swipe down from the top right of your iPhone to view the exact percentage in the Control Center, but that means you can't glance at the battery percentage from within any app or from the home screen. And it's nearly impossible to gauge the exact percentage from just the battery icon, which is not good if your iPhone is close to dying.
Thankfully, iOS 16 reintroduces the battery percentage number back in the status bar, inside of the existing battery icon. Here's what you need to know about the feature.
How to get the battery percentage back in the status bar on iOS 16
To view your battery percentage in the status bar of your iPhone, all you need to do is upgrade to iOS 16. You can wait for your iPhone to alert you with a pop-up notice, or force an update manually by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Once you update, you should see the percentage in the battery icon in the top-right corner of your screen -- from anywhere on your iPhone. That way you can keep a close eye on when your iPhone is topped off or close to running out of battery, and when you should start charging it.
Although the setting is turned on by default, you can go to Settings > Battery and toggle on the Battery Percentage option to make sure it works. When your device is charging, the battery icon will turn completely green, showing you the percentage, while being in Low Power Mode will turn the battery icon completely yellow, but again with the percentage inside.
Unfortunately, the battery percentage option is not available on all iPhone models -- for now, it's not on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 13 Mini. Pre-orders for iPhone 14 have already begun, and the phone itself will be available Friday, Sept. 16.

This news release includes certain "forward-looking information" as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs, and current expectations of the Company with respect to the Meeting. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" or similar expressions and includes information regarding: the repayment of the funds advanced to Ionic; the filing of the Annual Filings; the filing of the Interim Filings; the revocation of the CTO; the reinstatement of trading of the common shares on the CSE; and expectations for other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical fact but instead reflects management's expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance, or achievements of the Company. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: the timing for filing the Annual Filings and the Interim Filings; regulatory and licensing risks; changes in consumer demand and preferences; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; the global regulatory landscape and enforcement related to cannabis, including political risks and risks relating to regulatory change; compliance with extensive government regulation; public opinion and perception of the cannabis industry; the impact of COVID-19; and the risk factors set out in the Company's annual information form dated August 28, 2020, filed with Canadian securities regulators and available on the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Company, through several of its subsidiaries, is indirectly involved in the manufacture, possession, use, sale, and distribution of cannabis in the recreational and medicinal cannabis marketplace in the United States. Local state laws where the Company operates permit such activities however, investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable United States federal money laundering legislation.
While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward nonenforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with recreational and medicinal cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under United States federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of the Company and any proceedings brought against the Company thereunder may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated, or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speak only as of the date of this news release. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

If you think you know everything about Vanessa Hudgens' love life, don't bet on it.
The Princess Switch actress recently spoke about two past high-profile relationships, alluding to her romances with Zac Efron and Austin Butler, saying that what people know about the breakups is not the full story.
"The public only sees so much. I've also been through two very long life-changing relationships, and no one really knows what happened except for me," Vanessa told Nylon on Sept. 12. "When I write my memoir, it'll be amazing."
Vanessa dated Zac, her High School Musical co-star, for four years before splitting up in 2010. She started dating Austin the following year before breaking up in 2020 after nine years together.
Vanessa welcomed the start of something new when she met her current boyfriend, Cole Tucker, in an unconventional space.
"I'm not going to call it a celebrity Zoom, but it was a Zoom meditation group that Joe Jonas put together, yes," she said. "I did not expect it at all. I don't think if I entered a meditation Zoom, I'd be like, ‘This is where I'll meet my person.' I just showed up and I was like, ‘Who the f-ck is that?'"
It's safe to say Vanessa couldn't take her eyes off Cole (or at least his Zoom box).
The couple first sparked romance rumors late 2020 when they were seen together on a date in Los Angeles and later became official in January 2021. Vanessa gushed about the Arizona Diamondbacks player in a sweet birthday tribute in July, writing "I hope you don't mind that I put down in words… how about wonderful life is now your [sic] in the world."
"I lava youuuuuuu," he commented on her post, "thank you baby."

DUBLIN, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Fillings and Toppings Market by Type (Syrups, Pastes, and Variegates, Creams, Fondants), Application (Confectionery Products, Bakery Products), Flavor (Fruits, Chocolates, Vanilla), Form (Solid, Liquid) and Raw Material - Global Forecasts to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The fillings and toppings market size is estimated to be valued at USD 11.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period in terms of value.
There has been a significant change in the food consumption pattern of consumers. Ready-to-eat or convenience food products are largely demanded over homemade food products. The use of fillings and toppings by food manufacturers for enhancing the taste, texture, aesthetic appeal, flavor, and color of food and beverage products is expected to drive the demand in the market. Growing urbanization in developing countries has boosted the market for bakery and confectionery products which in turn increases the market for fillings and toppings, especially in developing countries.
By form, the liquid segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.
Liquid toppings include honey; whipped cream; sauces such as marshmallow, butterscotch, peanut butter, chocolate, and hot caramel and hot fudge; and syrups such as rose- and maple-flavored syrups are widely used in beverages. Caramel drizzle and chocolate drizzle are available in liquid form for cake fillings and toppings. Moreover, the rising demand for baked goods with chocolate flavors is one of the major drivers boosting the market for chocolate liquid toppings. Thus, this rising demand for chocolate and its flavor is expected to positively impact the market for fillings and toppings.
By raw material, dairy ingredients segment is estimated to witness the steady growth rate over the forecast period.
Dairy Yogurt, sour cream, milk, and cheese are essential dairy ingredients used for fillings and toppings. Fresh cream such as whipped cream, creme fraiche, clotted cream, single cream, double cream, and light cream are often used as a filling and topping materials for desserts, chocolate puddings, shakes, hot chocolate drinks, cookies, scones, jam cakes, and pastries, depending on their butterfat content. Consumers are increasingly looking for dairy ingredients that will provide them with the nutrition they are seeking for their wider health goals, hence increasing the demand for the fillings and toppings market in the forecast period.
By type, sprinkles segment is estimated to witness the steady growth rate over the forecast period.
Sprinkles are small particles of sugar, chocolate, and candy that provide a sweet taste to products. In fillings and toppings, sprinkles are used in the form of chocolate sprinkles and rainbow sprinkles. Large varieties of sprinkles include confetti, nonpareils, and sparkles which are thin and long. Moreover, Consumers are demanding more from their sweet baked goods in terms of cleaner label products that provide a premium eating experience. Moreover, toppings in the form of sprinkles provide an aesthetic quality to the food products hence helping with the growth of fillings and toppings in the forecast period.
By flavor, the chocolate segment is estimated to be the second largest flavor market after the fruit segment.
Fillings such as chocolate fudge, chocolate pudding, chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, and chocolate fudge are used for chocolate flavors in cakes. The growing trend for dessert-inspired products and for the sweet tooth, chocolate fudge, caramel, and hazelnut flavors are providing inspiration to innovate across categories. And for the more adventurous palette, innovative flavors are being increasingly associated with chocolate, hence increasing the market for fillings and toppings.
By application, dairy products and frozen desserts segment is estimated to witness highest growth rate.
Dairy products and frozen desserts include yogurts, creams, sour cream, custard, ice cream, kefir, and sherbet. Chocolate split fillings are used mainly in dairy products. The increasing demand for flavored dairy products has led to increased use of various fillings and toppings such as fruit fillings and chocolate toppings in the dairy industry. Furthermore, the consumption of desserts has also increased in recent times owing to the increasing inclusion of various non-traditional products such as ice creams and cakes in desserts.
Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest growing region over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest growing region in the global fillings and toppings market in 2021. The countries considered in the Asia Pacific fillings and toppings market include China, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and the Rest of Asia Pacific.
The immense growth in the processed food industry and the growing consumer demand for syrups, pastes, and variegates in food products are the major factors driving the fillings and toppings market growth. Other major factors that drive the fillings and toppings market growth are changes in consumer tastes and preferences; strong infrastructure, and a highly-skilled workforce, which complement the growth of the fillings and toppings market; and increasing population density and education level, increasing health awareness of the population, and rising economic status and living standard of people.

On their 25th birthday, Virginia Academy is inviting the community to come together for their Ground Breaking service on a $24 million expansion in hopes of making modern resources and quality education available to all of Loudoun County.
"Our arms are stretched out to the entire community. Family is one of our core values," said Virginia Academy Chancellor, Pastor Charlie Whitlow. The leadership at Virginia Academy believes academic, family, and spiritual life are one, and invites the community to think of the school as a resource that can positively impact all three. "When you drive by the school and see the cranes and the builders in action, we want you to feel as excited and proud of Loudoun County and what's happening here, as we are," Whitlow said.
This transformative growth includes an expansion of the academic and sports facilities. Virginia Academy is taking a non-partisan approach to faith and education and invites the community to capitalize on this resource for the family.
Event: Doors are open to the entire community on September 18th for a service to highlight the expansion and strengthen bonds with new friends. All are welcome and be sure to bring your children.
- When: September 18th, 10:30 am
- Where: Virginia Academy
- Details: Outdoor service, including the groundbreaking ceremony, after which food is provided along with family friendly activities.

Virginia Academy, founded in 1997 is one of the largest private schools in Loudoun County offering preschool through 12th grade. The expansion mirrors the diverse growth of Loudoun County, with all families welcome to be a part of the Virginia Academy community.

Man faces federal drug charges in fentanyl death of 3-year-old girl; murder charge dismissed
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE/Gray News) – An Indiana man is now facing federal drug charges in the death of a 3-year-old, though murder charges have been dismissed.
Arcinial Watt was facing a local murder charge in the death of 3-year-old Kamari Opperman. Officials said the girl got into some fentanyl pills at the apartment she lived in and died in October.
Watt’s local murder charge was dismissed, but he is now facing federal drug charges. Watt has been indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl resulting in death and possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl.
Watt has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison. A trial date has been set for Nov. 7.
Four others have been charged in the case, including Kamari’s mother and grandparents.

Chris Beards will be judging the best presents, cards and gift-wrap the UK has to offer
Subscribe newsletter
The owner of an award-winning card and gift shop in the island will be on the ‘Gift of the Year’ judging panel for the fifth year in a row.
Chris Beards of Mantons Cards in Port Erin said: ‘I am thrilled to have again been asked to judge the ‘Gift of the Year 2023’ awards.
‘I’m looking forward to once again seeing new product launches, trends and inspiration from hundreds of entries.’
The awards are organised by the UK Giftware Association and have been running for 43 years with online judging leading up to a live event in Birmingham where the winner’s will be crowned.
Mr Beards will be judging in the cards, wraps & stationery; children’s, educational and pre-school; contemporary gift; and home fragrance categories.
The businessman, who has also raised over £30,000 for charity through his shop, said: ‘As well as supporting the Manx Community and our team members I think it’s important to support the industries we are part of and judging these awards are a perfect way to do this.’
Recognising ‘the best new products, talent and inspiration’ in the industry, previous winners at the awards include a plantable children’s book and humorously named vegan soaps.
Mantons opened in its current store on Station Road in 1987 and was taken over by Mr Beards in 2008, it has since won multiple national awards including best greeting card retail initiative in 2011.

Fall and winter are around the corner, which means not only is it time to get your flu shot, but US health officials are urging everyone who is eligible to get their updated Covid-19 booster, too.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the updated Covid-19 vaccine boosters this month, after the US Food and Drug Administration's authorization. The updated Pfizer/BioNTech booster is authorized for people 12 and older, and Moderna's is authorized for 18 and older.
At the same time, health officials stress the recommendation to get your seasonal flu vaccine. Some disease forecasters worry that the upcoming flu season could be a tough one for North America, as nations in the Southern Hemisphere that already had their flu seasons -- like Australia and New Zealand -- saw higher-than-average peaks in cases. So, the United States could see flu make a comeback while Covid-19 is still circulating at higher levels.
Barring any new and concerning coronavirus variants, some officials predict that the updated Covid-19 shots could be the start of recommended boosters for Americans each year, similar to how updated annual flu vaccines are given.
"For a majority of Americans, one shot a year will provide a very high degree of protection against serious illness, and that's what we've got to be focused on," Dr. Ashish Jha, White House coronavirus response coordinator, told CNN last week. "Maybe for some high-risk people -- the elderly, the immunocompromised -- they may need protection more than once a year, but for a majority of Americans, that's where it is, and I think that's a really good place to be."
Where and when to get Covid-19 booster and flu shot
The updated Covid-19 vaccine booster and seasonal flu vaccines are available at most pharmacies, doctor's offices and health care clinics.
Not only are US health officials encouraging people to get both shots this year, some local public health departments are planning to schedule joint vaccine clinics, said Lori Tremmel Freeman, chief executive officer of the National Association of County and City Health Officials.
"Jurisdictions are going to be standing up joint flu and Covid vaccine clinics and other opportunities for people to get both their flu vaccine and their Covid updated booster together," Freeman said, adding that there is "no problem at all" with getting both shots at or around the same time.
The hope is for joint clinics to make it more convenient and accessible for people to get their vaccinations -- but not everyone might be interested or even eligible to get both vaccines at the same time. Plus, some say it's still early to get a flu shot.
A single dose of the updated Covid-19 booster is recommended at least two months after the initial vaccine series or your most recent booster.
"Now, suppose you've recovered from Covid -- and many people of course have had Covid this summer -- wait three months, at least," said Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
He added that it's important to get your booster as soon as you are eligible.
"It's clear that whether you're vaccinated or you've had Covid, if you get this booster, you will get much higher levels of antibody and they are thought to help us get more prolonged protection," he said. "The other thing that happens is that the immune system responds more broadly, and it looks as though we will get more broad coverage against other variants."
As for the flu shot, the recommended timing of vaccination for this flu season is similar to last season, according to the CDC's website.
"For most people who need only one dose for the season, September and October are generally good times to get vaccinated," according to the CDC, adding that while "ideally" it's recommended to get vaccinated by the end of October, vaccination after October can still provide protection during the peak of flu season.
"The ideal time is during the month of October and maybe the first couple of weeks of November -- and the reason I say that is, particularly for older people and people who are frail, that will help their protection extend well through February into March, and that's when flu often peaks in the United States in February," Schaffner said. "Everyone ages 6 months and older should get influenza vaccine."
As for children younger than 12, who are not eligible for the updated Covid-19 booster, Schaffner said parents should focus on getting their youngsters vaccinated with the primary series or booster they can get now.
"I would say, maintain the current schedule," he said. "Because it's quite clear the original still does a good job in protecting us against hospitalizations and more severe disease."
Schaffner added that some people have asked him whether the Covid-19 vaccine protects against flu or vice versa. They do not.
"You do have to get both vaccines," he said. "The Covid vaccine will not protect against flu. The flu vaccine will not protect against Covid."
Bracing for possible Covid-19 surge
Last week, the Biden administration announced its plan to manage Covid-19 this fall as there is the potential for an increase in infections, in part due to waning immunity from vaccines and infection.
"Additionally, as the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors, contagious viruses like COVID-19 can spread more easily," the announcement says. "And, as we saw last fall with the emergence of Omicron, we must continue to stay prepared for the possibility of a potential new variant of concern."
The White House continues to call on Congress to pass additional funding for Covid-19 response, having asked for an updated $22.4 billion last week. GOP Sen. Mitt Romney said that passing that funding would be "a very hard lift."
The administration's plan to manage Covid-19 this fall includes focusing on encouraging updated booster vaccinations and making them easy to access, as well as ensuring that people have easy access to at-home rapid tests and treatments. That includes the purchase of 100 million additional at-home rapid tests from domestic manufacturers, the White House said.
The US Department of Health and Human Services "will launch a paid media campaign aimed at increasing COVID-19 vaccination, with a focus on those over age 50, as well as Black, Hispanic, rural, Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native audiences through TV, radio, digital and print outlets."
The administration is also boosting "easy access to Covid-19 testing and treatments" but warned, "While the lack of additional COVID-19 funding from Congress puts constraints on what we are able to do, the Administration will do everything in its power to ensure that tests and treatments remain widely available and easy to access, and will encourage Americans to use them."

INDIANAPOLIS (WXIN) — Thousands of Murphy beds are being recalled because they can break or detach from the wall, falling onto those nearby.
The Consumer Product and Safety Commission said the recall involves full-sized and queen-sized Murphy beds made by Cyme Tech and sold online at Wayfair, AllModern, Amazon, Cymax, Overstock and Wal-Mart.com from February 2014 through May 2022.
The company said failure to properly assemble and/or attach the bed to the wall may result in the bed becoming detached from the wall and falling, posing a tip-over and entrapment hazard that could result in serious injury.
The recall was initiated after Cyme Tech received 146 reports of the beds falling or breaking. This includes 62 injuries involving broken bones, bruising, lacerations, concussions and other injuries.
The CPSC said the recalled Murphy beds were sold under the brand names “Ivy Bronx,” “Orren Ellis,” “Stellar Home Furniture” and “Wade Logan.” They were sold in five colors: White, Rustic Gray, Espresso, Cinnamon and Tuxedo.
The models included in the recall are Low Profile Murphy wall bed part numbers S214 (Double Bed, Doors Installed Vertically), S215 (Queen Bed, Doors Installed Vertically), S234 (Double Bed, Doors Installed Horizontally), S235 (Queen Bed, Doors Installed Horizontally).
Anyone with a recalled Murphy bed should stop using it and contact Cyme Tech to schedule a free inspection and repair of the bed. Cyme Tech can be reached toll-free at 833-408-0501 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email at murphybed@realtimeresults.net or visit its website.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Argo AI unveiled its comprehensive suite of products and services designed to enable businesses of any size to use autonomous vehicles to enhance ridesharing or goods delivery operations. The Argo product ecosystem is customizable based on a business's needs, bringing together cutting-edge self-driving technology, vehicle and fleet management solutions, and robust data and analytics to achieve scalable autonomous operations.
"Advancements in autonomy will improve the safety and accessibility of our roads, while also solving real business challenges," said Brett Browning, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Product Development, Argo AI. "By creating this full suite of products and services, Argo offers businesses across a broad range of industries everything they need to take advantage of self-driving technology at scale."
Argo created its product ecosystem by leveraging its years of experience developing, testing, and operating self-driving technology on multiple vehicle types and in eight diverse global cities. It also integrated input from a wide range of companies into its product design and development process, which allowed Argo to develop tools that serve ride hail and ride pooling, and middle- and last-mile delivery. It is currently operating consumer-facing ridesharing with Lyft, and autonomous goods delivery with Walmart.
"We know from our integrations with several businesses that customers want more than autonomous vehicles to feel confident in incorporating autonomy into existing services," continued Browning. "They require corresponding tools and solutions that can be tailored to solve their day-to-day operational needs."
Argo Connect
For customers looking to kickstart autonomous operations, Argo Connect is the gateway to Argo's product ecosystem. It leverages a suite of intuitive application programming interfaces (APIs) that let businesses seamlessly integrate Argo-powered autonomous vehicles into their existing operations. Using Argo Connect, businesses can reliably schedule and dispatch autonomous vehicles to move people and packages, while creating a natural experience for their rideshare or delivery customers.
Argo Autonomy Platform
The Argo Autonomy Platform consists of the software, hardware, high definition maps, and backend support that enable Argo autonomous vehicles to safely drive in cities, suburbs and on highways. There are four products:
- Argo Drive, the self-driving software and hardware that sense the vehicle's surroundings in 360 degrees, detect other road users and predict their actions, and direct the steering, braking and acceleration to safely plan the vehicle's trajectory.
- Argo Lidar, the company's proprietary long-range sensor, capable of over 400 meters range with camera-like resolution and single photon detection to recognize dark objects, like black-painted vehicles, early and with high precision. Argo Lidar is already being manufactured and has been integrated across the entire Argo fleet in two continents.
- Argo Map, a high-definition map network built with street-level knowledge of roadways, traffic infrastructure, speed limits and more. Argo has developed a turnkey process for map expansion in existing and new markets, which enables rapid scale to new cities. In the past year, Argo doubled its total mapped mileage and added two new cities to its portfolio.
- Argo Hub, a suite of cloud tools and infrastructure to support autonomous vehicles in the field. Argo Hub includes remote guidance and remote troubleshooting support, as well as map zone management to communicate real-time road changes to Argo autonomous vehicles.
The Argo Autonomy Platform is trained with data from extensive testing in eight cities across the United States and Germany. It's capable of navigating safely around pedestrians, bicyclists, construction, heavy traffic, and more on dense urban streets, suburban roads, and highways.
The platform is proven to be compatible with multiple vehicle types across automakers, from electric or hybrid vehicles, to sedans, SUVs or vans. This flexibility supports a variety of go-to-market applications, from urban rideshare to middle- and last-mile deliveries.
Argo Autonomy Solutions
Running commercial autonomous services requires new operational and fleet management tools. With expertise from operating autonomous fleets across multiple cities, Argo created a portfolio of enhanced solutions for businesses to supplement in-house capabilities. They include:
- Argo Operations, a set of in-market services to help businesses seamlessly deploy and operate autonomous vehicles. Businesses can opt in to field operations teams and tools for on-the-ground vehicle management, rider and delivery customer service, and rapid response to ensure a smooth and positive end-customer experience when autonomous vehicles are on the road.
- Argo Fleet, a set of products designed to maximize fleet uptime and meet the unique service and operational needs of autonomous vehicles. This includes support for terminal activities like sensor calibration, data ingest, self-driving system startup and shutdown. It gives business owners real-time visibility into the status of each autonomous vehicle, tools to manage vehicle and personnel schedules, and access to on-site support for specialized autonomous vehicle maintenance.
Argo Autonomy Solutions are customizable and adaptable based on a business's needs, and ensure that any company can benefit from scaling autonomous services, regardless of their fleet management or operational capabilities.
Argo Autonomy Data and Analytics
Every Argo-powered autonomous vehicle navigating busy city streets is generating enormous amounts of data. This rich, diverse data set is used to constantly improve Argo's products and services, while providing valuable insights to business customers.
- Argo's development footprint and daily fleet operations in multiple cities around the world exposes the Argo Autonomy Platform to complex scenarios and driving behaviors. With every new interaction, Argo can update and improve its self-driving system performance to better meet customer needs.
- When Argo-powered autonomous vehicles are in the field, they are always online, measuring performance and key metrics for specific customer use cases. Those metrics can be used to provide actionable insights to businesses to improve their logistics and in-market operations. With connected, digital fleets covering rideshare and delivery routes, companies can uncover areas for efficiency gains and optimize logistics processes.
Argo Autonomy Data and Analytics also provides real-time traffic and road insights, which could be useful to city governments, logistics companies, and other stakeholders.
Enabling Businesses to Create an Autonomous Future

MONTEREY, Calif. (AP) — IndyCar’s intense season came to a nail-biting end in which Team Penske’s superstars duked it out for the title and the future of the race winner clouded once again.
Will Power beat Team Penske teammate Josef Newgarden by 16 points for the Australian to win his second IndyCar title, and the 16th national championship for Roger Penske. He finished third on Sunday at Laguna Seca Raceway, a spot behind crestfallen Newgarden.
But the win went to outgoing IndyCar champion Alex Palou, who has been entangled in a messy legal battle in negotiations and a courtroom over his 2023 rights. Chip Ganassi Racing says it picked up next year’s option on the Spaniard; McLaren Racing says it has Palou under contract.
Palou insisted in July he’d be a McLaren driver next season, but as he celebrated his only win of the season, with owner Chip Ganassi behind him, Palou sounded far less certain. But he did indicate a resolution could be coming, perhaps as soon as Monday.
“Yeah, we talk. We talked in Portland. We talked before that … I think, Nashville. “Talked this morning,” Palou said of recent, rekindled communication with the team owner.
“We’ll see when I know. I wish I could tell you guys, ‘Hey, I’m doing this,’ but I don’t have an answer yet. Maybe tomorrow.”
It was a blatant about-face that closed a spectacular season in which IndyCar, even without the pizazz and popularity of a Netflix show, drew the most viewers to its 17-race schedule since 2008.
It’s championship had seven drivers in it until the penultimate race, and with five still mathematically in the hunt on Sunday at Laguna Seca Raceway, IndyCar had its tightest championship race since 2003 to celebrate.
The battle came down to Ganassi vs. Team Penske, which had its three drivers in the hunt for Chevrolet against six-time champion Scott Dixon and Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson in Honda-pushed Ganassi entries.
Power, at 41 years old and eight years removed from his only other title, went into this season with a refreshed approach. He’s played the long-game, he said, and settled for solid finishes rather than pushing for wins.
It was Newgarden who went for the victories and his five led IndyCar this season. But he was inconsistent and crashed hard at Iowa while leading — an accident that caused a probable concussion and required Newgarden to be airlifted out of the track.
Team Penske made it clear this week it did not play team orders and all three of its drivers could fairly race for the title. So it was Power against Newgarden, who started down 20 points to his Australian teammate. Dixon was also 20 points back — and had he not been penalized for speeding in the Indianapolis 500 likely would have collected a record-tying seventh championship — but this was an inside fight.
Newgarden this week admitted he’s struggled all season with his drive for perfection; Power has dropped jaws for his new chilled approach.
Newgarden had a disastrous qualifying, went off course, and it pretty much decided his season. Power won his 68th pole to break the record for most in IndyCar.
So Power earned a point for winning the pole, and another point for leading the first lap. He now had Newgarden by 22 and it would take a Power collapse for the American to win a third title. He did everything he could, including three passes in Laguna Seca’s famed corkscrew, but the second-place finish just wasn’t enough.
“We’re all competitive, and we want to personally be the winners, but when we win as a team, it is big for everybody. I’m filled with a lot of pride,” Newgarden said. “But I’m also filled with a little bit of a relief. I’m kind of happy to come into this offseason reset, recharge, and then figure out a way to just hit everybody harder next year.”
While Newgarden was already wondering what he’d do differently if able to run Sunday’s race again, Power was at last ready to relax. He knew all along that nothing any other driver did mattered so long as he finished third, and so that’s where he stayed the bulk of the race.
But he never allowed himself a moment off the gas.
“I did not relax at any point. I knew I had to keep digging. I went hard the whole race,” Power said. “It was high-stress the whole race. It was very like our whole season. It was a very solid, consistent, no-mistake day.”
Power won just once this season at a time Team Penske notched nine of IndyCar’s 17 wins, and watched from the sidelines as teammates Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin became close friends and developed a YouTube Series. Then came the last month of racing, when many believed McLaughlin gave Newgarden a win at Gateway but denied Power a similar favor last week at Portland.
He said he never felt as if he’s the odd-man-out at Penske, where McLaughlin finished fourth in the final standings.
“The two boys, well, I guess they’re younger and similar in age and enjoying having fun,” Power said. “I find Scott McLaughlin a great guy, easy to get along with, and Josef is, as well. They’re good guys. Fiercely competitive, and I expect Scott to be a legit championship contender next year.
“This is the strongest combination that Penske has ever had as far as driver, speed, ability. A tough group. Tough, tough trio.”
None of the three had anything Sunday for Palou, who beat Newgarden by 30.381 seconds in a Laguna Seca record.
We gave our best, as we always do. Alex was tough to catch. I think he just was incredible,” Newgarden said. “It’s been a really tough year. It’s been good in a lot of ways, but it’s also been really negative in a lot of others. I’m excited for a reset, excited to come back next year, and I know we’ve got the team to do the job.
Colton Herta, the 22-year-old Californian being courted by the AlphaTauri Formula One team, was a nonexistent 11th in what could have been his last IndyCar race for some time. Herta won the last two races at Laguna Seca from pole and there’s serious interest from F1 if he can get licensed.
Christian Lundgaard, who raced last year in the Formula One ladder system, finished fifth for the Danish driver to win rookie of the year.

California is phasing out gas-powered auto sales; other states may follow
(CNN) - California made history last month when regulators agreed to ban the sale of new gasoline-fueled cars by 2035, and because the state is the largest auto market in the country, the measure could lead to a major shift across the country.
More than a dozen states could be on the verge of adopting the same unprecedented car sales mandate.
“If that group of states that tends to follow California’s lead were do so with this as well, it would be roughly 30 percent of the US would be living somewhere where there would be this requirement,” said Asha Weinstein Agrawal of Mineta Transportation Institute.
Currently, there are 17 states that already follow California’s car emission standards, at least in part.
And experts said once the mandate is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, it’s likely they’ll apply their rule, which requires that by 2035, all new vehicles sold in the state must be electric, hydrogen powered, or at least plug-in hybrid.
“We will move forward to green and decarbonize our vehicle fleet,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said.
Experts said under the federal Clean Air Act, states must follow the federal government’s vehicle emission standards or choose to adopt California’s stricter requirements.
A growing number of states appear to be leaning toward the second option, including Washington, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Vermont.
Critics of the measure argue it raises big concerns around issues like charging infrastructure, mineral availability, supply chain issues and vehicle pricing.
The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act aims to help lower prices by giving buyers of passenger vehicles assembled in North America a $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax incentive.
“If you install an electric vehicle charging station in your home, you can also get a tax credit,” Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said.

The Rockies took the field Sunday afternoon looking for a boffo final act to their homestand.
They performed a pratfall instead.
Playing one of their poorest games of the season, the Rockies lost 12-6 to Arizona at Coors Field in a game that took 3 hours, 46 minutes. The defeat ended the Rockies’ four-game winning streak and left them with a 4-2 record in their penultimate homestand of the season.
It’s never a good sign when your pitchers issue more walks (9) than your batters register hits (6) — or when the latter strike out 14 times. But that’s what the Rockies did Sunday.
“I think the (walks) were probably the biggest ugliness, especially against this group, that has some team speed on the bases,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “They can run and apply some pressure.”
And it’s never good when your starting pitcher throws just 37 strikes out of 70 pitches in 2 2/3 innings. But that’s what happened to right-hander Ryan Feltner.
“I do believe I’ve been throwing the ball well before today,” Feltner said. “Today was just one of those days where I will just flush it and move on to the next one.
“At the beginning (of the season) it was one step forward and two steps back. Now it feels like two steps forward and one step back. I think I’m making progress.”
Arizona compounded Colorado’s misery by stealing six bases, including scoring a run by Christian Walker on a double steal in the third inning.
At least the Rockies played a small part in Diamondbacks history. Right-hander Zac Gallen blanked the Rockies for three innings, extending his scoreless streak to 44 1/3 innings to set a franchise record. He bypassed Brandon Webb, who pitched 42 consecutive scoreless innings in 2007.
Colorado halted Gallen’s streak with a three-run fourth inning. Ryan McMahon and Yonathan Daza rapped out back-to-back singles and C.J. Cron’s hard single past first baseman Christian Walker scored McMahon to snap the streak. Gallen struck out Charlie Blackmon and Michael Toglia, but rookie Elehuris Montero lined a two-run double to right field, trimming Arizona’s lead to 4-3.
But Gallen hung on to pitch six innings, giving up three runs on four hits with 11 strikeouts. He improved 12-2, though his ERA rose slightly, from 2.42 to 2.50.
“He has the ability to throw any pitch at any time,” McMahon said. “He’s not afraid to do that and he locates pitches. And he doesn’t make a lot of mistakes over the middle. That’s one of the reasons I swung on the first pitch today. I thought that it would probably be the best pitch I was going to get.”
McMahon was one of the Rockies’ few bright spots. Starting at second base and hitting leadoff, he went 2-for-4 and launched a two-run homer in the eighth, his third homer of the homestand and 16th of the season.
In his short stint on the mound, Feltner gave up four runs on four hits and walked four. His ERA rose from 5.85 to 6.12. Feltner allowed one baserunner through the first two innings before giving up three hits and walking four in the third. He threw 40 pitches in the third inning.
“There were a number of pitches that were non-competitive — just too far out of the strike zone,” Black said. “They were pitches that the hitters never really had to worry about. Once that happens, the hitters gain an advantage a little bit. If a guy is spraying the ball all over, they can zero in. If you aren’t throwing strikes consistently, it’s going to come back to bite you.”
The Rockies are off Monday before beginning a five-game road trip Tuesday in Chicago. They play two against the White Sox, have another day off Thursday, and then play a three-game set against the Cubs.
On Deck
The Rockies are off on Monday
Trending: Outfielder Yonathan Daza has hit 8-for-19 (.421) with eight runs scored, three doubles, one home run, and five RBIs in five games since being reinstated from the injured list on Tuesday.
At issue: The Rockies begin a five-game road trip Tuesday against the White Sox in Chicago. They’ll enter the trip with a 21-46 road record, which is the worst in the majors. Colorado ranks last in baseball in runs scored on the road, averaging just 3.03 per game.
Pitching Probables:Tuesday: Rockies RHP Chad Kuhl (6-8, 5.38 ERA) at White Sox RHP Michael Kopech (4-9, 3.78), 6:10 p.m., ATTRMWednesday: Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (8-9, 4.63) at White Sox RHP Dylan Cease (14-6, 2.06), 12:10 p.m.Thursday: Off

Chris Kaba: Met suspends officer who shot dead unarmed man
- Published
A Met Police officer who shot dead an unarmed black man has been suspended from duty, the force has confirmed.
Chris Kaba, a 23-year-old rapper, died after a single shot was fired in Streatham Hill, south London, on 5 September.
Mr Kaba, who was due to become a father, was stopped by firearms officers when his car was flagged by a number plate recognition camera.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct has opened a homicide inquiry.
Met Assistant Commissioner Amanda Pearson said: "Following the death of Chris Kaba, the firearms officer involved has been suspended from duty.
"This decision has been reached following careful consideration of a number of factors, including the significant impact on public confidence, and in light of the IOPC announcing a homicide investigation.
"Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Mr Kaba's family and friends. We understand how concerned communities are, particularly black communities, and thank those who are working closely with our local officers."
She added that the decision to suspend the officer "does not determine the outcome of the IOPC investigation".
"Firearms officers serve to protect the public and know that on the rare occasions when they discharge their weapons, they will face intense scrutiny. I know this development will have a significant impact on the officer and colleagues."
The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said he welcomed the decision and his "thoughts remain with Chris Kaba's loved ones at this intensely difficult time".

Every summer, I am asked to reduce my electrical usage from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. (“No Fun in the California Sun,” Review & Outlook, Sept. 1). Under a recent “heat dome,” I also got emails and TV ads urging me to “protect my community” by reducing electrical usage. Yet at the same time California urges me to buy an electric vehicle. The state has also failed to expand its electrical grid.
How will we charge all these electric cars with such a massive increase in demand for electricity?

LONDON — The death of Queen Elizabeth II set in motion a tightly choreographed series of ceremonial and constitutional steps, as Britain undergoes a period of national mourning and enters the reign of King Charles III.
A long-established 10-day plan, code-named Operation London Bridge, covers arrangements for the queen’s final journey to London and state funeral. Here is a look at what will happen in the coming days:
Monday, Sept. 12
— King Charles II and Camilla, the Queen Consort, visited Parliament to receive condolences from the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
— The royal couple then flew to Edinburgh where they attended a service of remembrance for the queen, visit the Scottish Parliament and meet senior officials.
— The queen’s coffin, accompanied by the king and queen consort, traveled to Edinburgh’s St. Giles’ Cathedral where it will stay for 24 hours so the public can pay their respects. Members of the royal family held a vigil by the coffin in the evening.
Tuesday Sept. 13
— The queen’s coffin is taken by hearse to Edinburgh Airport. It will be flown by the Royal Air Force to London and taken to Buckingham Palace.
— The king and Camilla will visit Northern Ireland, where they meet politicians and faith leaders and attend a service of remembrance at St. Anne’s Cathedral.
Wednesday, Sept. 14
— The coffin is transported from Buckingham Palace to Parliament on a gun carriage, with the king and other royals walking behind.
— It is placed in Parliament’s medieval Westminster Hall, where the archbishop of Canterbury conducts a short service. The queen will then lie in state for four days, until the morning of her funeral. Members of the public will be able to pay their respects and troops will keep a round-the-clock vigil.
Friday, Sept. 16
— The king and queen consort will visit Wales.
Sunday, Sept. 18
— Britain holds a “national moment of reflection” with 1 minute of silence at 8.p.m. (1900 GMT, 3 p.m. EDT).
Monday, Sept. 19
— The queen’s coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to nearby Westminster Abbey for a state funeral that begins at 11 a.m. Leaders and dignitaries from around the world are expected to attend.
— The funeral marks the end of 10 days of national morning, and the day will be a public holiday across the U.K.

Swiss electric vehicle startup Piech has hired some big guns to help bring its zero-emission performance cars to market.
The company last week announced the hiring of Manfred Fitzgerald as chairman and Tobias Moers as chief technology officer, both veterans of the industry. Both executives will also share the role of CEO at Piech.
Fitzgerald replaces Matthias Müller, a former Volkswagen Group CEO who was only with Piech for 11 months. Fitzgerald’s last role was as head of Genesis, but perhaps more important to Piech is his time spent at Lamborghini. Fitzgerald spent 12 years at Lamborghini as its head of brand and design, a role in which he helped turn Lamborghini into the globally successful brand it is today.
Moers joins Piech following a brief and somewhat rocky stint as CEO of Aston Martin. Moers’ greatest success has been with Mercedes-Benz AMG. Under his leadership, he helped to double AMG’s product portfolio and quadruple its sales, as well as lay the groundwork for the current expansion into EVs.
Piech, co-founded by a son of Ferdinand Piëch and backed by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, first made headlines in 2019 when it presented at the Geneva auto show the striking Mark Zero concept, an electric grand tourer with sultry lines reminiscent of classic Aston Martins. The Piëch family has been part-owners of VW and Porsche for decades.
The company last fall said the production version of the Mark Zero was on track for launch in mid-2024, after which a crossover and 2+2 coupe would be added. The cars would all use bespoke platforms developed in-house at Piech.
For the production Mark Zero, Piech promises a trio of electric motors generating 603 hp, and a 75-kwh battery good for a range approaching 300 miles on a charge. According to Piech, an 80% charge will be possible in just eight minutes using a DC fast charger.
“With Manfred Fitzgerald and Tobias Moers, two established authorities from the sophisticated and rapidly evolving world of sports cars and automotive luxury brands join the Piëch team,” Toni Piëch, Piech’s co-founder, said in a statement. “Both have a proven and enviable track record in this segment and possess extensive knowledge, an adept sense of how to communicate with exclusive customers and a distinct understanding of luxury brands.”

What is the best banker’s lamp?
Banker’s lamps were invented over a century ago to soften the harsh light of the lightbulbs of that time. They are versatile, stylish and employ attractive lampshades to capture and redirect the light. They make desk work easier on the eyes without taking up much space.
Most banker’s lamps are made with a brass base and green glass shade, but there are modern styles that use other materials and colors. You can find a banker’s lamp that fits your office or home decor. For its attractive curved design and easy assembly, the best banker’s lamp is the Catalina Traditional Bankers Lamp with Glass Shade.
What to know before you buy a banker’s lamp
Styles of banker’s lamps
Banker’s lamps come in three distinct styles.
- Traditional banker’s lamps have a thin metal base — usually brass— that supports a green shade, although there are other colors available.
- Modern banker’s lamps have curved and carved base designs with a variety of shade styles.
- Tiffany-style banker’s lamps are topped with stained glass lampshades reminiscent of the art style from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This style can be expensive.
How tall are banker’s lamps?
Banker’s lamps range in height from 12 to 20 inches. Most are 14 to 16 inches tall. The bottom of the lampshade should be at your eye level when sitting at your desk. Some lamps are adjustable to the size of your desk and as your lighting needs change.
What kind of lightbulbs work in banker’s lamps?
Each banker’s lamp uses a specific lightbulb. Most modern lamps use LED bulbs that last 20,000 hours or more. Other lamps use incandescent bulbs. Review the manufacturer’s information to ensure you are using the right kind.
What to look for in a banker’s lamp
Lampshade
There are three main aspects of a lampshade to consider.
- Color: This is not only important for matching your decor, it also affects how light is filtered, which can affect the overall illumination. Green is the traditional shade color, but there are many other colors to choose from.
- Material: It’s most often frosted glass, but clear glass, plastic and mica are also used.
- Thickness: Each lampshade is meant to be thick enough to protect the lightbulbs but not cause the lamp to become top-heavy.
Base material
Traditional banker’s lamps have a brass base. Modern designs may have a brass coating that looks like a traditional base. Some have artistic designs, while others are plain and smooth.
Number of lightbulbs
Banker’s lamps either have room for one or two lightbulbs. The size and overall ambiance of your office or home determine how much illumination is required.
Switch or pull cord
Most banker’s lamps use a metal pull cord that emulates the traditional design, but some use a switch on the lightbulb holder similar to those on table and floor lamps. Tug a pull cord gently, since some tend to snap upward and could crack the shade if pulled too hard.
How much you can expect to spend on a banker’s lamp
Lamps priced from $30-$40 are typically single-bulb, shorter and feature a green shade made from inexpensive glass or plastic. For $40-$60, you’ll find taller lamps with more design features. Tiffany-style lamps are often priced between $60-$100.
Banker’s lamp FAQ
Will I need an extension cord for my banker’s lamp?
A. If your desk or table is positioned close to a wall outlet, you should not need an extension cord since most banker’s lamp cords are 5 to 6 feet. Extension cords may be needed if your wall outlets are far away from where the lamp will be.
How do you clean a banker’s lamp?
A. A simple dust cloth used every two months should be enough to keep it clean. Brass polish and glass cleaner for brass bases and glass lampshades also can be used if the lamp gets extra grimy.

KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian troops retook a wide swath of territory from Russia on Monday, pushing all the way back to the northeastern border in some places, and claimed to have captured many Russian soldiers as part of a lightning advance that forced Moscow to make a hasty retreat.
A spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence said Russian troops were surrendering en masse as “they understand the hopelessness of their situation.” A Ukrainian presidential adviser said there were so many POWs that the country was running out of space to accommodate them.
As blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flags fluttered over newly liberated towns, the Ukrainian military said it had freed more than 20 settlements in 24 hours. In recent days, Kyiv’s forces have captured territory at least twice the size of greater London, according to the British Defense Ministry.
After months of little discernible movement on the battlefield, the momentum has lifted Ukrainian morale and provoked rare public criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war.
“In some areas of the front, our defenders reached the state border with the Russian Federation,” said Oleh Syniehubov, governor of the northeastern Kharkiv region. Over the weekend, the Russian Defense Ministry said troops would be pulled from two areas in that region to regroup in the eastern region of Donetsk.
There were reports of chaos as Russian troops pulled out.
“The Russians were here in the morning. Then at noon, they suddenly started shouting wildly and began to run away, charging off in tanks and armored vehicles,” Dmytro Hrushchenko, a resident of recently liberated Zaliznychne, a small town near the eastern front line, told Sky News.
Video taken by the Ukrainian military showed soldiers raising the Ukrainian flag over battle-damaged buildings. In one scene, a fighter wiped his boots on a Russian flag on the ground. Other videos showed Ukrainians inspecting the wreckage of Russian military vehicles, including tanks.
Ukrainian teams were disarming land mines and other unexploded weapons in the recaptured areas and searching for any remaining Russian troops, officials said.
It was not yet clear if the Ukrainian blitz could signal a turning point in the war. Momentum has switched back and forth before, but rarely with such a big and sudden swing.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovich did not specify the number of Russian prisoners but said the POWs would be exchanged for Ukrainian service members held by Moscow. Military intelligence spokesman Andrey Yusov said the captured troops included “significant” numbers of Russian officers.
Ukraine’s deputy interior minister accused fleeing Russian forces of burning official documents and concealing bodies in an attempt to cover up rights violations in the areas they controlled until last week.
The mood was jubilant across the country.
In Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city and the capital of the region where the gains have been made, authorities hailed that power and water had been restored to about 80% of the region’s population following Russian attacks on infrastructure that knocked out electricity in many places across Ukraine.
“You are heroes!!!” Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov wrote on Telegram, referring to crews who restored utilities in Ukraine’s second-biggest city. “Thanks to everyone who did everything possible on this most difficult night for Kharkiv to normalize the life of the city as soon as possible.”
The buoyant mood was also captured by a defiant President Volodymyr Zelenskyy late Sunday on social media.
“Do you still think you can intimidate, break us, force us to make concessions?” Zelenskyy asked. “Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst for us are not as scary and deadly as your ‘friendship’ and brotherhood.’”
In the end, he exclaimed: “We will be with gas, lights, water and food … and WITHOUT you!”
Meanwhile, in Russia, there were some signs of disarray as Russian military bloggers and patriotic commentators chastised the Kremlin for failing to mobilize more forces and take stronger action against Ukraine.
Russia has continuously stopped short of calling its invasion a war, instead describing it as a “special military operation” and relying on on a limited contingent of volunteers instead of a mass mobilization that could spur civil discontent and protest.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the Moscow-backed leader of the Russian region of Chechnya, publicly criticized the Russian Defense Ministry for what he called “mistakes” that made the Ukrainian blitz possible.
Even more notable, such criticism seeped onto state-controlled Russian TV.
“People who convinced President Putin that the operation will be fast and effective … these people really set up all of us,” Boris Nadezhdin, a former parliament member, said on a talk show on NTV television. “We’re now at the point where we have to understand that it’s absolutely impossible to defeat Ukraine using these resources and colonial war methods.”
Some in Russia blamed Western weapons and fighters for the losses.
“It’s not Ukraine that attacked Izium, but NATO,” read a headline in the state-supported Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, referring to one of the areas where Russia said it has withdrawn troops.
Pro-Kremlin separatists reported that Ukrainian troops were approaching the town of Lyman, a rail hub captured by Russia in late May that offers access to bridges over the nearby Siversky Donets river.
Denis Pushilin, head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, acknowledged that the situation was “difficult.”
Even amid Ukraine’s ebullience, the casualties kept mounting. Ukraine’s presidential office said Monday that at least four civilians were killed and 11 others wounded in a series of Russian attacks in nine regions of the country. The U.N. Human Rights Office said last week that 5,767 civilians have been killed so far.
Russian forces continued missile and shelling attacks on residential areas in Kharkiv, killing at least one civilian and setting multiple fires, local officials said.
In a reminder of the war’s toll, a council member in Izium accused those forces of killing civilians and committing other atrocities.
Maksym Strelnikov told reporters Monday in an online briefing that hundreds of people had died during the fighting and after Russia seized the town in March.
Many died from shelling and could not get a proper burial, he said. His claims could not be immediately verified, but similar scenes have played out in other places captured by Russian forces.
The Ukrainian military also claimed to have found more evidence of human rights violations by Russian occupiers. It did not elaborate.
Izium was a major base for Russian forces in the Kharkiv region. The first Ukrainian flag was raised over the city on Saturday, according to Strelnikov. Residents, some wrapped in the country’s flag, greeted Ukrainian forces and offered them food.
Ukraine said the Russians continued shelling Nikopol across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia power plant, damaging several buildings there and leaving Europe’s largest nuclear facility in a precarious position. The last operational reactor in that plant has been shut down in a bid to prevent a radiation disaster as fighting raged nearby.
The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said Monday that Kyiv “will likely increasingly dictate the location and nature of the major fighting.”
The British Defense Ministry said the retreat would likely further deteriorate the trust Russian forces have in their commanders and put Moscow’s troops on the back foot.

Abstract
Delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (DNS), which are related to neuropsychiatric symptoms and severe sequelae, occur within a few days of recovery from acute poisoning. They may involve a slowly progressing demyelinating white matter lesion caused by carbon monoxide cytotoxicity; moreover, the involvement of immune mechanisms has been reported. However, there remains no established treatment or therapeutic gain factors. A 29-year-old man with DNS who experienced carbon monoxide poisoning underwent corticosteroid therapy with concomitant measurements of cerebrospinal fluid levels of MBP, IL-6, and pNF-H. Treatment led to an improvement in symptoms and lesions on magnetic resonance imaging. Corticosteroid therapy and monitoring can be used to treat and monitor DNS.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Bezos’ rocket company suffered its first launch failure Monday. No one was aboard, only science experiments.
The Blue Origin rocket veered off course over West Texas about a minute after liftoff. The capsule’s launch abort system immediately kicked in, lifting the craft off the top. Several minutes later, the capsule parachuted onto the remote desert floor.
Blue Origin’s launch commentary went silent when the capsule catapulted off the rocket, later announcing: “It appears we’ve experienced an anomaly with today’s flight. This wasn’t planned.”
The mishap occurred as the rocket was traveling nearly 700 mph (1,126 kph) at an altitude of about 28,000 feet (8,500 meters). There was no video shown of the rocket – only the capsule – after the failure occurred. The rocket usually lands upright on the desert floor and then is recycled for future flights; clearly, that did not happen this time.
Launch commentator Erika Wagner said the capsule managed to escape successfully, with the webcast showing it reaching a maximum altitude of more than 37,000 feet (11,300 meters). Thirty-six experiments were on board, half sponsored by NASA.
“Booster failure on today’s uncrewed flight. Escape system performed as designed,” the company tweeted later.
No further details were provided.
It was the 23rd flight for the New Shepard program, named after the first American in space, Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard. The same kind of rocket and capsule have been used to carry paying passengers on 10-minute rides to the edge of space. It was the ninth flight for this rocket.
Its most recent passenger flight was just last month. Bezos was on the first New Shepard crew last summer. Altogether, Blue Origin has carried 31 people to the edge of space. The company’s headquarters is in Kent, Washington.

PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — At the government headquarters in NATO-member Montenegro, the computers are unplugged, the internet is switched off and the state’s main websites are down. The blackout comes amid a massive cyberattack against the small Balkan state which officials say bears the hallmark of pro-Russian hackers and its security services.
The coordinated attack that started around Aug. 20 crippled online government information platforms and put Montenegro’s essential infrastructure, including banking, water and electricity power systems, at high risk.
The attack, described by experts as unprecedented in its intensity and the longest in the tiny nation’s recent history, capped a string of cyberattacks since Russia invaded Ukraine in which hackers targeted Montenegro and other European nations, most of them NATO members.
Sitting at his desk in Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, in front of a blackened PC screen, Defense Minister Rasko Konjevic said government officials were advised by cyber experts, including a team of FBI investigators that was dispatched to the Balkan state, to go offline for security reasons.
“We have been faced with serious challenges related to the cyberattack for about 20 days, and the entire state system, the system of state administration, and the system of services to citizens are functioning at a rather restrictive level,” Konjevic told The Associated Press.
He said experts from several countries are trying to help restore the Montenegro government’s computer system and find proof of who is behind the attack.
Montenegro officials said the attack that crippled the government’s digital infrastructure was likely carried out by a Russian-speaking ransomware gang that generally operates without Kremlin interference as long as it doesn’t target Russian allies. The gang, called Cuba ransomware, claimed responsibility for at least part of the Montenegro cyberattack, in which it created a special virus for the attack called Zerodate.
Montenegro’s Agency for National Security blamed the attack squarely on Russia.
Russia has a strong motive for such an attack because Montenegro, which it once considered a strong ally, joined NATO in 2017 despite the Kremlin’s opposition. It has also joined Western sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine invasion, which led Moscow to brand Montenegro an “enemy state” along with several other countries that joined the embargo.
“In such attacks, there are usually organizations that are a mask for state intelligence services,” Konjevic said, adding that the defense ministry’s NATO-related data is protected “in a special way” while the other possible leaks “are being investigated.”
The cyberattack comes amid an apparent attempt by Moscow to destabilize the Balkan region that was at war in the 1990s through the Kremlin’s Balkan ally Serbia, and thus at least partly shift the world’s attention from the war in Ukraine.
Montenegro, which split from much larger Serbia in 2006, is currently run by an interim government that has lost parliamentary support because of Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic ’s shady deals with the influential Serbian Orthodox Church without the consent of the whole coalition that supported the government.
Montengro’s roughly 620,000 people are deeply split between those who want the country to restore its close ties to Serbia and Russia and those who want it to continue on its path of the European Union membership.
“A real war is being waged in Ukraine, with bombs, a war of conquest by Russia,” political analyst Zlatko Vujovic said. “Something similar is happening in Montenegro. There are no bombs, but there is a huge tension, a huge hybrid conflict in which the interests of Russia and its and Serbian intelligence services are interconnected.”
Other Eastern European states deemed enemies of Russia have also faced cyberattacks, mostly nuisance-level denial-of-service campaigns that render websites unreachable by flooding them with junk data but don’t damage them. Targets have included networks in Moldova, Slovenia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Albania.
Last week, Albania severed diplomatic relations with Iran and kicked out its diplomats after a cyberattack in July that it blamed on the Islamic Republic.
“Montenegro remains a target within both the public and private sector, as well as many other countries in that region,” said Patrick Flynn, head of the advanced programs group at Trellix, a U.S.-based cybersecurity company. “We have observed a blend of historically based nation state actors and well-known ransomware groups.”
“This recent focus on NATO member countries reinforces the need for hyper vigilance within key businesses as well as government (and) critical infrastructure cyber security environments,” he said in an email to the AP.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, the Twitter whistleblower who is warning of security flaws, privacy threats and lax controls at the social platform, will take his case to Congress on Tuesday.
Senators who will hear Zatko’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee are alarmed by his Twitter allegations at a time of heightened concern over the safety of powerful tech platforms.
It’s Zatko’s second Capitol Hill appearance, and in some ways a 21st-century echo of his first. In 1998, he testified before a Senate panel along with fellow members of a hacker collective who warned about the security dangers of the then-emerging internet age.
Zatko, a respected cybersecurity expert, was Twitter's head of security until he was fired early this year. He has brought the stunning allegations to Congress and federal regulators, asserting that the influential social platform misled regulators about its cyber defenses and efforts to control millions of "spam" or fake accounts.
Sen. Dick Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who chairs the panel, has said that if Zatko’s claims are accurate, “they may show dangerous data-privacy and security risks for Twitter users around the world.”
Zatko's accusations are also playing into billionaire tycoon Elon Musk's battle with Twitter. The Tesla CEO is trying to get out of his $44 billion bid to buy the company; Twitter has sued to force him to complete the deal. The Delaware judge overseeing that case ruled last week that Musk can include new evidence related to Zatko's allegations in the high-stakes trial set to start Oct. 17.
The allegation that Twitter engaged in deception in its handling of automated "spam bot" accounts is at the core of Musk's attempt to back out of the Twitter deal.
At the same time, many of Zatko’s claims are uncorroborated and appear to have little documentary support. In a statement, Twitter has called Zatko’s description of events “a false narrative.”
Also on Tuesday, Twitter’s shareholders are scheduled to vote on the company’s pending buyout by Musk. The vote is something of a formality given that the deal is on hold while the court case plays out. But if the measure passes as expected, it would also pave the way for a Musk takeover should Twitter prevail in court.
Zatko also filed complaints with the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Among his most serious accusations is that Twitter violated the terms of a 2011 FTC settlement by falsely claiming that it had put stronger measures in place to protect the security and privacy of its users.
The SEC is questioning Twitter about how it counts fake accounts on its platform. Twitter uses counts of its presumably real users to attract advertisers, whose payments make up about 90% of its revenue. The "spam bots" have no value to advertisers because there's no person behind them.
San Francisco-based Twitter has an estimated 238 million daily active users worldwide. The company says it removes 1 million spam accounts daily.
Zatko’s 84-page complaint alleges that he found “extreme, egregious deficiencies" on the platform, including issues with "user privacy, digital and physical security, and platform integrity/content moderation.”
It accuses CEO Parag Agrawal and other senior executives and board members of making “false and misleading statements to users and the FTC" about these issues. Twitter denies those claims and said that Zatko was fired in January for “ineffective leadership and poor performance.” Zatko’s attorneys say the performance claim is false.
Twitter also hinted that Zatko's complaint might be designed to bolster Musk's legal fight with the company. Twitter called Zatko’s complaint “a false narrative” that is “riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and lacks important context."
News of Zatko’s complaint surfaced on Aug. 23, almost two months before the Twitter-Musk trial is scheduled to begin. . One of Zatko’s attorneys has said “he’s never met Elon Musk. Doesn’t know Elon Musk. They know people in common.”
The company also says it has significantly tightened security since 2020.
Among Zatko's specific allegations:
— The company had such poor cybersecurity that it easily could have been exposed to outside attacks or attempts to siphon off its internal data.
—The company lacked effective leadership, with its top executives practicing “deliberate ignorance” of pressing problems. Zatko described former CEO Jack Dorsey as “extremely disengaged” during the last months of his tenure, to the point where he wouldn’t even speak during meetings on complex issues. Dorsey stepped down in November 2021.
—That Twitter knowingly allowed the government of India to place its agents on the company payroll, where they had “direct unsupervised access” to highly sensitive data on users. It makes a parallel but less detailed accusation that Twitter took funding from unidentified Chinese entities who may have gained access enabling them to access the identities and sensitive data of Chinese users who secretly use Twitter, which is officially banned in China.
Better known by his hacker handle “Mudge,” Zatko, 51, first gained prominence in the 1990s. He was the best-known member of the Boston-based collective L0pht, which pioneered ethical hacking, embarrassing companies including Microsoft for poor security. His work raised awareness in the computing world that forced such major companies to take security seriously. He co-founded the consultancy @Stake, which was later acquired by Symantec.
Zatko later worked in senior positions at the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Google. He joined Twitter at Dorsey's urging in late 2020, the same year the company suffered an embarrassing security breach involving hackers who broke into the Twitter accounts of world leaders, celebrities and tech moguls, including Musk, in an attempt to scam their followers out of bitcoin.

Atlanta finally passed the New York Mets — then the Braves ran into their mirror image from the American League.
That would be the Seattle Mariners, who took two of three from the Braves and are 50-22 in their last 72 games. Atlanta has played at an even better clip, going 64-26 since the start of June. That helped the Braves erase a 10 1/2-game deficit in the NL East, even though the first-place Mets never played all that badly.
Atlanta moved a half-game ahead of New York when it won the opener of its series in Seattle on Friday night, but now the Braves trail by 1 1/2 games after a wild finish Sunday. Atlanta scored five runs in the top of the ninth to take a one-run lead, only for Julio Rodriguez and Eugenio Suarez to hit solo homers in the bottom half for an 8-7 Seattle victory.
The Mariners are closing in on their first postseason appearance since 2001. The Braves are trying to defend the World Series title they won last year. The race atop the NL East is starting to resemble another famous one involving Atlanta — from the NL West in 1993.
That year, San Francisco was 10 games ahead of the Braves in late July, then went 38-27 the rest of the way. It somehow wasn’t enough. Atlanta closed on a 49-16 tear to win the division, 104 victories to 103.
That was the final postseason before wild cards, so the Giants were left out of the playoffs entirely. The Mets and Braves don’t have to worry about that this year, barring a massive collapse. But the winner in this NL East chase — in which both teams are on pace for at least 100 wins — would probably end up with a bye into the Division Series. That’s no small thing.
The Mets now hold an unusual distinction as the team that posted the best record while blowing a double-digit lead in their division, according to Sportradar. New York led by 10 1/2 games at the start of June, then went 51-34 — for a .600 winning percentage — before being caught by the Braves for the first time last Tuesday.
In 1993, the Giants built their 10-game lead and then went 24-20 (.545) before the Braves first caught up to them.
THAT TIME OF YEAR
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who are an incredible 59-20 in their last 79 games, already have clinched a postseason berth. Their magic number to wrap up the NL West is down to two.
The next-lowest magic number to win a division belongs to Houston at 11 in the AL West. But as well as Seattle is playing, that could still take a little while.
TRIVIA TIME
In 1993, Atlanta and San Francisco had a combined four 20-game winners. Who were they?
LINE OF THE WEEK
There’s a bit more separation in the American League wild-card race now. Toronto saw to that by taking three of four at Baltimore. The Blue Jays now lead the Orioles by 5 1/2 games for the third wild card.
Toronto started that series with a doubleheader sweep Monday, and Bo Bichette homered three times in the second game. He had six hits and seven RBIs in the doubleheader.
COMEBACK OF THE WEEK
The St. Louis Cardinals scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat Washington 6-5 on Wednesday night. The winning hit came with two out when Tommy Edman’s drive to left field bounced off outfielder Alex Call’s glove, allowing both runners on base to score.
It was the first time this season a team won after trailing by four or more runs entering the ninth. While the Nationals were batting in the top of the ninth, the St. Louis win probability dipped to 1.1%, according to Baseball Savant.
Honorable Mention: The Cardinals weren’t done with big comebacks. On Sunday, they scored four in the ninth to erase a two-run deficit and went on to beat Pittsburgh 4-3. Albert Pujols put St. Louis ahead to stay with a two-run homer — the 697th of his career, moving him past Alex Rodriguez and into sole possession of fourth place on the career list.
On Tuesday night, Colorado came back from a 6-1 deficit and beat Milwaukee 10-7 in 10 innings.
TRIVIA ANSWER
Tom Glavine (22-6) and Greg Maddux (20-10) for the Braves, and John Burkett (22-7) and Bill Swift (21-8) for the Giants.

The TV camera angle didn’t do the throw justice, and it looked pretty cool on TV.
Trey Lance, the 49ers’ first-year starting quarterback, took a second-down, second-quarter snap, faked a handoff to running back Elijah Mitchell, and feigned another to sweeping wide receiver Deebo Samuel, planted his back foot, bounced in place, and ripped a 30-yard throw over two Bears defenders, directly into the chest of his teammate Ray-Ray McCloud, who was cutting across the field, right to left.
It was the kind of pass we have not seen a 49ers quarterback make since Kyle Shanahan took over as head coach — the perfect combination of power and touch.
And while Lance’s throw to McCloud wasn’t the best throw of this NFL weekend, the company he kept in that competition — Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert — showed the young quarterback’s incredible potential.
This kid has a chance to be special.
If only all of Lance’s throws were like that on Sunday.
Lance’s performance against the Bears was the perfect encapsulation of what we should expect from the quarterback who the Niners still consider a rookie.
Up and down. Good and bad. Feast and famine.
Lance can make throws that will pull you out of your seat.
He can follow that with a throw that will make you cover your face.
This isn’t a unique place for young quarterbacks to find themselves. This is pretty normal.
But the 49ers’ circumstances are anything but normal. Lance is taking over a team that was a quarter away from the Super Bowl last season, with the quarterback of that team still on the roster.
No pressure, kid, just be good enough to take this team over the top of an already steep mountain.
The 49ers have handed Lance the starting job because they (rightfully) believe he has the talent to do it.
He could lose the starting job (in a few months) if he doesn’t put it all together soon enough.
The truth is that there is no perfect calibration between good and bad for Lance. That’s because perfection is the goal of any quarterback, and that can never truly be reached.
But it’s hard to make the case that Lance had more good than bad in Sunday’s season opener, even when the good popped off the screen.
In addition to the impressive throw to McCloud, Lance had top-flight throws to tight end Ross Dwelley, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings.
But you might want to apply that deference for Lance’s misses. There was a throw behind Jennings, a missed touchdown to Tyler Kroft, and a game-losing interception that cannot be sugar-coated.
Blame the offensive line or the downpour that drenched the fourth quarter, but before that fourth-quarter interception, Lance was 9-for-16. He completed only one of every three throws he made after that (4-of-12).
Now, Lance, to his credit, put the loss on his shoulders after the game. His maturity is one of the reasons the Niners are betting on him.
And the young quarterback also was solid in the run game Sunday. That’s an underrated factor considering the weather, even if he showed the propensity to tuck and run too quickly, as he did in his two spot starts last year.
It was a Rorschach test of a game — the kind of game Garoppolo had countless times during his tenure as the 49ers’ starter. It lives in the subjective realm.
How do you calibrate the good against the bad?
With Garoppolo, the good wasn’t big-time throws, but instead, a copious number of solid tosses over the middle, countered by jaw-dropping mistakes.
With Lance, it’s dabbling in the spectacular with clear-cut reminders of his inexperience along the way.
The good news for Lance is that he is just beginning his journey as an NFL quarterback. Garoppolo consistently showed that he had reached his potential in San Francisco. That’s a big reason why he’s still on the team and why a quarterback change is ridiculous to consider after just one game.
But the growing pains for Lance are real, and while they were expected, on Sunday, the team didn’t play well enough to insulate itself from those mistakes. The scoreboard told the truth.
Moving forward, the Niners need more from everyone, including Lance. But with quarterback being the most important position on the field, you — yes, you — have to answer the same question the 49ers’ brass has been asking since the moment the game ended. It’s the same question the team has asked for the last five years:
If the rest of the team doesn’t play something close to a perfect game, can the Niners win with an imperfect quarterback?

The report cites Prevalent's comprehensive platform and combined assessments and risk ratings as key strengths
PHOENIX, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Prevalent, Inc., the company that takes the pain out of third-party risk management (TPRM), today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the first IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Third-Party Risk Management Software (Doc #US48295522, September 2022).

"The managed services component is also enhanced with Prevalent's in-house rating capabilities. Prevalent differentiates by combining assessments and ratings to provide a complete vendor profile. Prevalent customers have access to 10,000+shared third-party security, privacy and business resilience risk assessments which they can leverage and customize by applying multipliers, adjust by region, and augment with specific questions.

"This leadership positioning in the first ever third-party risk management IDC MarketScape is a huge testament to the investments we made to benefit customers in innovation, customer success, and managed services," said Kevin Hickey, CEO of Prevalent. "With the onslaught of third-party data breaches, supply chain disruptions and new regulatory requirements, third-party risk management solutions must evolve rapidly. Prevalent customers not only identify risks faster but dramatically reduce manual work with the most comprehensive and the only unified TPRM solution available."

LOS ANGELES — Emmy Awards host Kenan Thompson and the ceremony's producers are promising a feel-good event — a phrase not applicable to several of the top nominated shows.
The best drama contenders include the violently dystopian “Squid Game,” bleak workplace satire “Severance” and “Succession,” about a powerful and cutthroat family. Even comedy nominee “Ted Lasso," the defending champ, took a storytelling dark turn.
But after several pandemic-constrained awards seasons, Monday's 74th Primetime Emmy Awards (airing 8 p.m. EDT on NBC, streaming on Peacock) will be big and festive, executive producers Reginald Hudlin and Ian Stewart said.
They're actually taking a page from last year's scaled-down ceremony and its club-style table seating for nominees.
“They had a ball. They had a party. They celebrated themselves,” Stewart said, recalling a comment made by actor Sophia Bush at the evening's end: “Oh, my God, I actually had fun at the Emmys.”
The tables will be back and again reserved for nominees — and their “significants,” Stewart said — but there will be some 3,000 other guests seated traditionally in the temporarily reconfigured 7,000-seat Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
“When the nominees are having a great time that translates on screen," Hudlin said, citing the “passionate, touching” speeches delivered by winners.
Thompson, the veteran “Saturday Night Live” cast member taking his first turn as Emmys host, said he wants to enjoy the ceremony and make sure others do.
“This should be a night of appreciating artistry and creativity and removing the stress of it all out. I get it — it sucks to lose, and everybody’s picking outfits and trying to do the red carpet thing,” Thompson said. “But at the same time, it’s an awesome thing to be in the room on Emmys night, and I don’t want that to get lost in the stress.”
He doesn't expect anything mirroring the Will Smith-Chris Rock confrontation that cast a shadow over the Oscars earlier this year, Thompson said.
Although HBO's “Succession," which won the best drama series award in 2020, and “Ted Lasso” from Apple TV+ are considered the frontrunners for top series honors, there's potential for surprises. Netflix's “Squid Game," a global sensation, would be the first non-English language drama series to win an Emmy.
On the comedy side, ABC's acclaimed newcomer “Abbott Elementary” could become the first broadcast show to win the best comedy award since the network's “Modern Family” in 2014. It's also among the few contenders this year, along with “Squid Game,” to field a substantial number of nominees of color.
At the Emmy creative arts ceremonies held earlier this month, the mockumentary-style show about educators in an underfunded Philadelphia school, won the trophy for outstanding comedy series casting. “Succession” won the drama series casting award.
“The Crown,” last year's big winner, wasn't in the running this time because it sat out the Emmys eligibility period. The dramatized account of Queen Elizabeth's reign and family life will return for its fifth season in November, as Britain mourns the loss of its longest-serving monarch who died Thursday at age 96.

It took forever to do but we finally have adult-use recreational marijuana legal in New Jersey.
The tax money garnered hasn't exactly been the windfall some thought, but there are more dispensaries opening all the time and proponents say the future is bright. But that road to legalization still has some potholes to be repaired.
Just like the problem police face with someone driving while high on weed, employers in the Garden State are having the same difficulty. Specifically: How can you tell if someone is actively high?
When legalization came along, the powers that be built into the law protection for a recreational marijuana user regarding employment. Because THC stays in your system for days, even weeks, after you are no longer actively under its effects, they say an employer cannot use that traditional test to decide someone was dangerously high at work.
So what’s an employer to do? The Cannabis Regulatory Commission just last week approved guidance for the use of Workplace Impairment Recognition Experts for companies that might need to prove a worker was high on the job and not just having old residue in their system. You could read more about this here.
But I just need to ask, is life in New Jersey so absolutely wretched that you can’t even make it through an eight-hour workday without being high? Sure, it’s expensive here. Sure, traffic is stressful and yes we are living on top of each other. But is it really at the point that you just can’t wait until you get home?
Look, I understand that the daily smokers are going to argue their tolerance is higher therefore they’re not actually feeling what we think of as "high." But clearly it’s doing something to them or they wouldn’t bother doing it at 10 o’clock in the morning.
I’m not judging what you’re doing. I’m judging when and where you are doing it. I would say the same about alcohol. And if you think it’s OK to be high at work then I guess you also think it’s OK to drive home from work high? Sure, I know, you might even think it makes you a "better driver."
It doesn’t.
When driving and during work hours some will say marijuana use is just "taking the edge off" and allowing you to "focus." In reality, it's just another way of saying dulled senses and slowed reaction time.
Now if you’re a server at an Applebee’s and you have just hit up ZenLeaf on your way in and the only repercussion is going to be my chicken fingers are late, I don’t really care. But if you have any type of safety-sensitive job you’re kidding yourself if you think it’s cool to be getting high at work.
Ask yourself if you would want your five-year-old child's school bus driver blazing one 20 minutes before bringing your kid home. If you say you’re okay with that I feel even sorrier for you.

A Bloomfield man was arrested Sunday after he stole a cell phone at a Hoboken fast food restaurant, answered the victim’s call and then waited nearby as police showed up to arrest him, Hoboken police said.
Apparently Matthew Soler, 28, of Bloomfield, didn’t think this scheme through.
He was eventually charged with theft of moveable property, possession of drug paraphernalia and throwing bodily fluids after an incident at the Hoboken police station, Lt. Jonathan Mecka said.

A man was arrested after heckling Prince Andrew as he walked behind his mother's coffin during a procession in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Monday.
The man reportedly shouted, "You're a sick, old man," before someone in the crowd tackled him.
Police intervened and reportedly arrested the man for "breach of police."
Prince Andrew had fallen out of favor with some in the royal family.
In January, Buckingham Palace announced that the "Duke of York's military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to the Queen."
That followed Prince Andrew's attempt to quash a sex abuse lawsuit.
Prince Andrews settled the lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre that alleges he sexually abused her in a sex ring operated by Jeffrey Epstein.
Giuffre alleged that she was coerced into the acts with the prince by Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Andrew has continuously denied the claims in the lawsuit.
Epstein — a known associate of Andrew's — died by suicide in jail in 2019 after being arrested on sexual abuse charges. He had previously served 13 months in jail in connection with a 2008 Florida conviction on prostitution charges and solicitation of a minor.
In December, Maxwell was convicted on charges of sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three counts of conspiracy for her role in Epstein's ring.

Human trafficking sting results in 160 arrests, including high school teacher, Disney employee
POLK COUNTY, Fla. (Gray News) – Authorities in Florida arrested 160 people during a seven-day long undercover human trafficking sting.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said the operation, called “Fall Haul 2,” began Aug. 30.
Detectives said the total of charges stemming from the operation included 52 felonies and 216 misdemeanors.
The sheriff’s office said one of the most notable arrests was of 41-year-old Cameron Burke, a computer technician for Oak Ridge High School in Orange County. Detectives said Burke was out on bond for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student that began in 2020.
Other notable arrests included a deputy chief of a Georgia police department, a high school math teacher, a bellhop employed by Disney and a freelance photographer often contracted by Disney.
The oldest of the arrests is 64, while the youngest is 19 years old, according to officials.
Out of the 160 arrests, 15 people were from states other than Florida, and one was from Puerto Rico.
Of the people who were arrested, police say 26 of them said they were married.
Detectives also said they seized cocaine, heroin, meth, MDMA and marijuana from those they arrested as well.
Multiple agencies participated in the operation, including several police departments, social service organizations, and members of the state’s Department of Children and Families.
The sheriff’s office said they identified two trafficking victims and another five victims. All prostitutes taken into custody were offered services by the social services organizations at the operation.

The redesigned 2022 Toyota Tundra pickup truck and redesigned 2022 Lexus NX compact crossover are being recalled for a faulty sensor that could prevent the electronic parking brake from being engaged, the NHTSA disclosed on Monday. If the parking brake can’t be engaged, and the driver ignores or disregards the warning lights in the cluster, the vehicle could roll away when parking on an incline.
The electronic control unit in the electronic parking brake system could falsely detect an overcurrent, which would trigger the system to shut down so as not to lead to a short circuit and possible fire. In this false state, the failsafe prevents the electronic parking brake from engaging or disengaging. The false read triggers a “Parking brake malfunction, visit your dealer” message in the instrument cluster, and/or it illuminates a malfunction indicator light in the cluster.
If the driver ignores these warnings, and if the driver parks on an incline and thinks they have engaged the parking brake and everything is fine, it is not. The truck or crossover can roll away.
The issue affects 83,725 vehicles total, but no hybrid models are included in the recall. The bulk of the volume—64,330 units—is of the 2022 Toyota Tundra. This is the fourth recall for the redesigned pickup truck since it went on sale at the end of last year. Two of the recalls involved the surround-view camera system, while the most significant recall pertained to a rear-axle housing that could separate from the shaft.
Owners will receive notification by mail as early as October 31, 2022. Toyota and Lexus dealers will reprogram the control unit at no cost to owners. For more information, contact Toyota’s customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or visit Toyota’s recall site.

DENVER (AP) — The intensifying crisis facing the Colorado River amounts to what is fundamentally a math problem.
The 40 million people who depend on the river to fill up a glass of water at the dinner table or wash their clothes or grow food across millions of acres use significantly more each year than actually flows through the banks of the Colorado.
In fact, first sliced up 100 years ago in a document known as the Colorado River Compact, the calculation of who gets what amount of that water may never have been balanced.
“The framers of the compact — and water leaders since then — have always either known or had access to the information that the allocations they were making were more than what the river could supply,” said Anne Castle, a senior fellow at the Getches-Wilkinson Center at the University of Colorado Law School.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is part of a collaborative series on the Colorado River as the 100th anniversary of the historic Colorado River Compact approaches. The Associated Press, The Colorado Sun, The Albuquerque Journal, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Arizona Daily Star and The Nevada Independent are working together to explore the pressures on the river in 2022.
During the past two decades, however, the situation on the Colorado River has become significantly more unbalanced, more dire.
A drought scientists now believe is the driest 22-year stretch in the past 1,200 years has gripped the southwestern U.S., zapping flows in the river. What’s more, people continue to move to this part of the country. Arizona, Utah and Nevada all rank among the top 10 fastest growing states, according to U.S. Census data.
While Wyoming and New Mexico aren’t growing as quickly, residents watch as two key reservoirs — popular recreation destinations — are drawn down to prop up Lake Powell. Meanwhile, southern California’s Imperial Irrigation District uses more water than Arizona and Nevada combined, but stresses their essential role providing cattle feed and winter produce to the nation.
Until recently, water managers and politicians whose constituents rely on the river have avoided the most difficult questions about how to rebalance a system in which demand far outpaces supply. Instead, water managers have drained the country’s two largest reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, faster than Mother Nature refills them.
In 2000, both reservoirs were about 95% full. Today, Mead and Powell are each about 27% full — once-healthy savings accounts now dangerously low.
The reservoirs are now so low that this summer Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton testified before the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that between 2 million and 4 million acre-feet would need to be cut next year to prevent the system from reaching “critically low water levels,” threatening reservoir infrastructure and hydropower production.
The commissioner set an August deadline for the basin states to come up with options for potential water cuts. The Upper Basin states — Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming — submitted a plan. The Lower Basin states — California, Arizona and Nevada — did not submit a combined plan.
The bureau threatened unilateral action in lieu of a basin-wide plan. When the 60-day deadline arrived, however, it did not announce any new water cuts. Instead, the bureau announced that predetermined water cuts for Arizona, Nevada and Mexico had kicked in and gave the states more time to come up with a basin-wide agreement.
STILL LEFT OUT
A week before Touton’s deadline, the representatives of 14 Native American tribes with water rights on the river sent the Bureau of Reclamation a letter expressing concern about being left out of the negotiating process.
“What is being discussed behind closed doors among the United States and the Basin States will likely have a direct impact on Basin Tribes’ water rights and other resources and we expect and demand that you protect our interests,” tribal representatives wrote.
Being left out of Colorado River talks is not a new problem for the tribes in the Colorado River Basin.
The initial compact was negotiated and signed on Nov. 24, 1922, by seven land-owning white men, who brokered the deal to benefit people who looked like them, said Jennifer Pitt of the National Audubon Society, who is working to restore rivers throughout the basin.
“They divided the water among themselves and their constituents without recognizing water needs for Mexico, the water needs of Native American tribes who were living in their midst and without recognizing the needs of the environment,” Pitt said.
Mexico, through which the tail of the Colorado meanders before trickling into the Pacific Ocean, secured its supply through a treaty in 1944. The treaty granted 1.5 million acre-feet on top of the original 15 million acre-feet that had already been divided, 7.5 million each for the Upper and Lower Basins.
Tribes, however, still don’t have full access to the Colorado River. Although the compact briefly noted that tribal rights predate all others, it lacked specificity, forcing individual tribes to negotiate settlements or file lawsuits to quantify those rights, many of which are still unresolved. It’s important to recognize the relationship between Native and non-Native people at that time, said Daryl Vigil, water administrator for the Jicarilla Apache Nation in New Mexico.
“In 1922, my tribe was subsistence living,” Vigil said. “The only way we could survive was through government rations on a piece of land that wasn’t our traditional homeland. That’s where we were at when the foundational law of the river was created.”
COMPETING INTERESTS
Agriculture uses the majority of the water on the river, around 70% or 80% depending on what organization is making the estimate. When it comes to the difficult question of how to reduce water use, farmers and ranchers are often looked to first.
Some pilot programs have focused on paying farmers to use less water, but unanswered questions remain about how to transfer the savings to Lake Powell for storage or how to create a program in a way that would not negatively impact a farmer’s water rights.
Antiquated state laws mean the amount of water that a water right gives someone access to can be decreased if not fully used.
That’s why the Camblin family ranch in Craig in northwest Colorado plans to flood irrigate once a decade, despite recently upgrading to an expensive, water-conserving pivot irrigation system. Nine years out of 10, they’ll receive payment from a conservation group in exchange for leaving the surplus water in the river. But in Colorado, the state revokes water rights after 10 years if they aren’t used.
Not only would losing that right mean they can’t access a backup water supply should their pivot system fail, but their property’s value would plummet, Mike Camblin explained. He runs a yearling cattle operation with his wife and daughter, and says an acre of land without water sells for $1,000, about a fifth of what it would sell for with a water right attached.
There are other ways to improve efficiency, but money is still often a barrier.
Wastewater recycling is growing across the region, albeit slowly, as it requires massive infrastructure overhauls. San Diego built a robust desalination plant to turn seawater to drinking water, and yet some agricultural users are trying to get out of their contract since the water is so expensive. Some cities are integrating natural wastewater filtration into their landscaping before the water flows back to the river. It’s all feasible, but is costly, and those costs often get passed directly to water users.
One of the biggest opportunities for water conservation is changing the way our landscapes look, said Lindsay Rogers, a water policy analyst at Western Resource Advocates, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting water and land in the West.
Converting a significant amount of outdoor landscaping to more drought-tolerant plants would require a combination of policies and incentives, Rogers explained. “Those are going to be really critical to closing our supply-demand gap.”
After years of incentive programs for residents, Las Vegas recently outlawed all nonfunctional grass by 2026, setting a blueprint for other Western communities. For years, the city has also paid residents to rip out their lawns.
In Denver, Denver Water supplies about 25% of the state’s population and uses about 2% of the water. The city has had mandatory restrictions in place for years, limiting home irrigation to three days per week.
This summer, in southern California, the Metropolitan Water District instituted an unprecedented one-day-a-week water restriction.
Still, regardless of the type of water use, more concessions must be made.
“The law of the river is not suited to what the river has become and what we see it increasingly becoming,” Audubon’s Pitt said. “It was built on the expectation of a larger water supply than we have.”

Meadow Walker is remembering Paul Walker on his birthday.
The model celebrated what would have been the Fast and Furious actor's 49th birthday, with a sweet throwback photo of the two hugging.
"Happy birthday to my best friend and twin soul." she captioned the Sept. 12 Instagram post, alongside a picture of new Paul Walker Foundation clothing. "I love you forever and miss you everyday. New @paulwalkerfdn designs out today to celebrate you! Do good, be good."
Followers flooded the comment section of Meadow's post, wishing Paul a happy birthday and sharing their love for him. Meadow also shared a post from Paul's Fast and Furious co-star, Jordan Brewster, to her Instagram Stories. Jordan shared a video of herself and Paul laughing alongside the caption, "I find these on my phone and feel like he is still here. Paul's laughter. His beautiful smile and spirit."
She continued, "Join me in celebrating his birthday today by honoring the @paulwalkerfdn. Do good. Be good. Link in my bio to buy."
Paul passed away in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif. in 2013. In 2015, on Paul's 42nd birthday, Meadow created the Paul Walker Foundation to continue giving back through Paul's passion for marine biology. The actor studied the field in college and appeared in the National Geographic Channel's Expedition Great White in 2010.
She announced the foundation in an Instagram post, writing, "Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions."
Meadow continued, "His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill. I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world. I am tremendously proud to be launching The #PaulWalkerFoundation (@paulwalkerfdn) on his birthday. I can't think of a better way to celebrate my father."
