WASHINGTON (AP) — A bay-breasted warbler weighs about the same as four pennies, but twice a year makes an extraordinary journey. The tiny songbird flies nearly 4,000 miles (6,437 kilometers) between Canada’s spruce forests and its wintering grounds in northern South America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bay-breasted warbler weighs about the same as four pennies, but twice a year makes an extraordinary journey. The tiny songbird flies nearly 4,000 miles (6,437 kilometers) between Canada’s spruce forests and its wintering grounds in northern South America.
“Migratory birds are these little globetrotters,” said Jill Deppe, the senior director of the migratory bird initiative at the National Audubon Society.
A new online atlas of bird migration, published on Thursday, draws from an unprecedented number of scientific and community data sources to illustrate the routes of about 450 bird species in the Americas, including the warblers.
The Bird Migration Explorer mapping tool, available free to the public, is an ongoing collaboration between 11 groups that collect and analyze data on bird movements, including the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, the U.S. Geological Survey, Georgetown University, Colorado State University, and the National Audubon Society.
For the first time, the site will bring together online data from hundreds of scientific studies that use GPS tags to track bird movements, as well as more than 100 years of bird-banding data collected by USGS, community science observations entered into Cornell’s eBird platform, genomic analysis of feathers to pinpoint bird origins, and other data.
“The past twenty years have seen a true renaissance in different technologies to track bird migrations around the world at scales that haven’t been possible before,” said Peter Marra, a bird migration expert at Georgetown University who collaborated on the project.
The site allows a user to enter a species — for instance, osprey — and watch movements over the course of a year. For example, data from 378 tracked ospreys show up as yellow dots that move between coastal North America and South America as a calendar bar scrolls through the months of the year.
Or users can enter the city where they live and click elsewhere on the map for a partial list of birds that migrate between the two locations. For example, ospreys, bobolinks and at least 12 other species migrate between Washington, D.C. and Fonte Boa, Brazil.
As new tracking data becomes available, the site will continue to expand. Melanie Smith, program director for the site, said the next phase of expansion will add more data about seabirds.
Washington, D.C. resident Michael Herrera started birdwatching about four months ago and was quickly hooked. “It’s almost like this hidden world that’s right in front of your eyes,” he said. “Once you start paying attention, all these details that were like background noise suddenly have meaning.”
Herrera said he’s eager to learn more about the migratory routes of waterbirds in the mid-Atlantic region, such as great blue herons and great egrets.
Georgetown’s Marra hopes that engaging the public will help spotlight some of the conservation challenges facing birds, including loss of habitat and climate change.
In the past 50 years, the population of birds in the U.S. and Canada has dropped nearly 30%, with migratory species facing some of the steepest declines.

Iran nuclear deal 'in ER room' -Israeli defence minister
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
JERUSALEM, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers is "in the ER room" and is unlikely to be renewed soon, if at all, Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz said on Thursday after European leaders voiced doubt about Tehran's willingness to revive the pact.
Israel, Iran's arch-foe, supported the U.S. withdrawal from the accord in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump, who deemed it too limited, and has been advocating against a re-entry into the pact sought by President Joe Biden's administration.
Iran, whose nuclear ambitions are seen by Israel as an existential threat, denies seeking atomic bombs. Since Trump's walkout, it has breached the 2015 deal by ramping up uranium enrichment, a process that can create bomb fuel down the line.

"...The Iran nuclear deal seems like it is in the ER room," Gantz told a conference on counter-terrorism at Reichman University. "There's a period maybe after the elections, we'll see how it goes," he said in an apparent reference to the U.S. mid-term November elections.
His remarks echoed those of a senior unnamed Israeli official on Sunday who predicted the deal would not be signed before the November elections.
Israel is not a party to the Vienna-based talks on reinstating the 2015 deal. But its threats to take military action against Iran if it deems diplomacy to be at a dead end keep Western capitals attentive.
On Saturday, France, Britain and Germany questioned Iran's commitment to reviving the deal in return for a lifting of sanctions, comments that were rejected by Tehran and called "very untimely" by Moscow. read more
In August, after 16 months of tortuous negotiations, the European Union laid down a final offer to overcome an impasse over terms for restoring the agreement.
Earlier this month, Iran sent its latest response to the EU's proposed text. Western diplomats said this was a step backwards, with Iran seeking to link a revival of the deal with the closure of U.N. nuclear watchdog investigations into unexplained nuclear activity by Tehran.

BEIJING, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday began official visit to Kazakhstan - the country in which the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was first proposed back to 2013, and Uzbekistan, and will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.
The visit to two Central Asian countries marks a monumental culmination of nine-year bilateral cooperation under the BRI, as the mega mechanism has unleashed a plethora of opportunities for the region ranging from economic fronts such as energy, mineral to security and politics, while also facilitating its export diversification efforts and integration into the global economic system.
The local business community has also hailed the visit, with high expectations on future deepened high-quality cooperation that could further flex China's advantage in capital and tech know-how as well as Kazakhstan's edge in rich agricultural and natural resources.
Analysts said that the prospects for cooperation is also underpinned by a relatively stable geopolitical environment in Central Asia, plus a further enhancement of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership, and they hold firm on the role of the BRI - despite the launch of several Western-led infrastructure schemes and fear-mongering campaign - on continuing serving as stabilizer and propeller in the regional development.
The Almaty tungsten ore mine is a world-class super-sized strip mine, with prospective reserves of 500,000 tons. It is included in the list of key China-Kazakhstan production capacity projects of BRI.
Energy is another field which bilateral collaboration yields fruitful results. On Tuesday, the first new energy project jointly built by China and Kazakhstan, the Shelek wind farm commenced operations.
According to a statement the project contractor Power Construction Corporation of China sent to the Global Times, the wind farm can generate 230 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which means a reduction of 206,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions and saving of 89,000 tons of standard coal each year.
The flagship BRI project also echoes with Kazakhstan's infrastructure initiative "Bright Path" and a global push in reducing carbon emissions. According to Kazakhstan's energy department, the Shelek wind farm will help to alleviate the power shortage issues in southern Kazakhstan and promote the country's carbon reduction plans and power restructuring.
The two projects are a vivid display of how BRI has ushered in a new era of unprecedented economic cooperation between the two neighbors, as well as China and the Central Asian region. China has now become Kazakhstan's second largest trading partner and number one export destination.
A new growth model
"Kazakhstan is resource-rich, but it lacks the ability to process raw materials. Chinese BRI investments have largely elevated the country's manufacturing capacity and sped up its industrialization," Zhang Hong, an Eastern European studies expert from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.
China's market of sheer size also helps Kazakhstan to shed overreliance on a single country in export, especially in agricultural and energy products, and opens up more opportunities for regional and global integration, according to Zhang, exemplified by the implementation of the China-Central Asia natural gas pipeline, which began operating in 2009.
In 2020, the China-Central Asia natural gas pipeline delivered over 39 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The gas pipeline starts from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, running through central Uzbekistan and southern Kazakhstan, and ends in Xinjiang's Khorgas. In 2017, the pipeline established terminals to transfer natural gas from Kazakhstan.
"China-proposed BRI amplified more collaboration chances between Central Asian countries, and such significance carries special weight in the midst of elevating Western sanction against Russia and the latter's countermeasures, which inevitably embroils Central Asian countries," Zhang said.
He noted that the Central Asian countries face a crunch in pushing forward regional integration while tackling heightened uncertainty. Mechanisms such as the BRI and SCO, as multilateral platforms, serve to entrench and expand business ties.
Strategic location
This year marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Kazakhstan. In terms of geographic location, Kazakhstan is an important node on the BRI. Bordering Xinjiang, Kazakhstan is regarded as an important westbound gateway connecting China with Europe, and about 90 percent of China-Europe freight trains transit via the country.
In 2014, one year after the BRI was launched, Kazakhstan became the first country to reach an agreement with China on "production capacity cooperation" of BRI. And to date, the cooperation list includes 52 projects which have attracted over $21.2 billion investment.
Analyst noted that despite certain political movements and stepped-up engagement by the West, the geopolitical environment in Central Asia remains "relatively stable without vicious power rivalry," auguring well for Chinese companies' long-term investment in the region.
In addition, the further elevation of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination is also a booster for to China-Central Asia cardinal economic ties, Zhang noted.

Crowds queue for queen's coffin as Charles spends quiet day
LONDON (AP) - Thousands of mourners lined up through the night to file past the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II in Parliament´s Westminster Hall on Thursday, as King Charles III spent a day in private to reflect on his first week on the throne.
The queue to see the queen lying in state stretched for 2.6 miles (4.2 kilometers) Thursday morning, along the south bank of the River Thames and then over a bridge to Parliament. Thousands in the line didn´t mind the hours of waiting.
"I´m glad there was a queue because that gave us time to see what was ahead of us, prepared us and absorbed the whole atmosphere," said health care professional Nimisha Maroo. "I wouldn´t have liked it if I´d had to just rush through."
After a day of high ceremony and high emotion as the queen was borne in somber procession from Buckingham Palace, the king was spending the day in "private reflection" at his Highgrove residence in western England. Charles has had calls with U.S. President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron and is speaking to a host of world leaders - many of whom will come to London on Monday for the queen´s funeral.
Heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, will visit the royal family´s Sandringham estate in eastern England to see some of the tributes left by well-wishers.
On Wednesday the queen left Buckingham Palace for the last time, borne on a horse-drawn carriage and saluted by cannons and the tolling of Big Ben, in a solemn procession through the flag-draped, crowd-lined streets of London to Westminster Hall.

Charles, his siblings and sons marched behind the coffin, which was topped by a wreath of white roses and her crown resting on a purple velvet pillow.
The military procession underscored Elizabeth´s seven decades as head of state as the national mourning process shifted to the grand boulevards and historic landmarks of the U.K. capital.
The 900-year-old Westminster Hall is now the focus of events, as the queen lies in state until Monday. Thousands have already paid their respects, filing past the casket draped with the royal standard and topped with a diamond-encrusted crown.
People old and young, dressed in dark suits or jeans and sneakers, walked in a steady stream through the historic hall, where Guy Fawkes and Charles I were tried, where kings and queens hosted magnificent medieval banquets, and where previous monarchs have lain in state.
After filing past the casket, most mourners paused to look back before going out through the hall´s great oak doors. Some wiped away tears; others bowed their heads or curtseyed. One sank onto a knee and blew a farewell kiss.
Keith Smart, an engineer and British Army veteran, wiped away tears as he left the hall. He had waited more than 10 hours for the chance to say his goodbye.
"Everybody in the crowd was impeccably behaved. There was no malice, everybody was friends. It was fantastic," he said. "And then, to come into that room and see that, I just broke down inside. I didn´t bow - I knelt to the floor, on my knees, bowed my head to the queen."
The late-night silence was broken when one of the guards standing vigil around the coffin collapsed and fell forward off a raised platform. The man, his chest adorned with medals, could be seen on livestreams of the queen´s coffin lying in state swaying on his feet before pitching forward onto the floor. Two police officers rushed to his assistance.
Crowds have lined the route of the queen´s coffin whenever it has been moved in its long journey from Scotland - where the monarch died Sept. 8, aged 96 - to London.
On Tuesday night, thousands braved a typical London drizzle as the hearse, with interior lights illuminating the casket, drove slowly from an air base to Buckingham Palace.
Earlier, in Edinburgh, about 33,000 people filed silently past her coffin in 24 hours at St. Giles´ Cathedral.

Arsenal´s Euro stars ready to prove themselves all over again - Jonas Eidevall
Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall has no doubt England stars Leah Williamson and Beth Mead will return as hungry as ever to add to their medal collection when the new Barclays Women’s Super League campaign gets under way.
Following the postponement of all English football fixtures last weekend as a mark of respect after the Queen’s death, the new domestic season will begin when Arsenal host Brighton in Borehamwood on Friday night.
Meadow Park is a far cry from the bumper 87,192 Wembley crowd which roared the Lionesses on to victory over Germany in the Euro 2022 final earlier this summer.
Nevertheless, Eidevall feels the likes of England captain Williamson and Euro 2022 Golden Boot winner Mead – along with defender Lotte Wubben-Moy, who was also part of Sarina Weigman’s successful squad – will be out to prove themselves all over again back in club colours.
“Part of the mental strength needed to be an excellent footballer is to concentrate on the pitch and to remember that, just because you have won something before – that’s great, it’s an achievement – but you are not entitled to anything for it on the pitch for future games,” the Swede said.
“You still have to do everything from the beginning every time you go on the pitch. Every day, you have to earn your right to play. You don’t get anything for free in football.
“That is the mindset you have to have, no matter how much you have won before or how many awards you have got – you have to start on the same page as everyone else.”
Eidevall added: “It’s important to emphasise that we have a lot of players that have been in finals, who have also won things before this summer. It is the shared pool of all those experiences that is really important.”
While the spotlight may firmly be on whether Mead can carry the momentum from the six goals she scored during the tournament into club football, Eidevall expects the 27-year-old to take it all in her stride.

“She brought the same intensity to the Euros as she had been doing with Arsenal, and she brings the same intensity back to Arsenal again now,” the Arsenal head coach said.
“You never know with people and the future, and that is why it is important that no matter how much you have won, it is about what are you moving forward and what you are doing in the present.
“That is where Beth needs to look forward, but every player in Arsenal needs to do that in order to achieve new things, because football is never standing still, so as a club, or a player, or a coach, we can’t stand still.”

Arsenal expect to have Australian pair Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord available after picking up minor knocks during the recent international break.
Eidevall has been impressed with the way Brighton are shaping up for the new WSL campaign.
“Some of the players they have got in over this window are of a really high quality, so we are expecting and preparing for a competitive game,” he said.

Sterling holds steady vs dollar near 35-year low
By Samuel Indyk
LONDON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Sterling was little changed against the dollar and the euro on Thursday, hovering above a 35-year low touched last week against the greenback as investors fret about the economic outlook and continue to favour the U.S. currency.
Sterling has been one of the worst performing major currencies in 2022, hit by expectations of a long recession, stubbornly high inflation and political instability.
New Prime Minister Liz Truss's plans to fund a mammoth energy support package by increasing borrowing have added to investor concerns about the long-term outlook for the British economy.
"There's a lot of talk about stagflation at the moment and the one place that has it right now is the UK economy," said Ben Laidler, global markets strategist at eToro.
"That's a big reason why the currency has done so badly this year."
By 0744 GMT, the pound was down 0.1% against the dollar at $1.1524, just above last week's 35-year low of $1.1407.
Against the euro, sterling was little changed at 86.495 pence.
The Bank of England (BoE) meets next week and is expected to raise its interest rate by at least 50 basis points (bps), possibly even 75 bps, as it looks to slow the rate of inflation.
Money markets are fully pricing in a half point rate rise at Thursday's meeting and currently imply around a 65% chance of a larger 75 basis point rise, according to Refinitiv data.
Data released on Wednesday showed consumer price inflation fell last month for the first time in almost a year. However, the core consumer price index, which strips out food, energy, alcohol and tobacco prices, rose to its highest since 1992.
The BoE releases its monthly survey on inflation expectations on Thursday, although economists are playing down the importance after the government announced a new energy support package after the fieldwork was completed.
"With the August survey responses having been collected prior to the government's announcement of the Energy Price Guarantee scheme, the results of the latest quarterly survey are likely to be seen as somewhat redundant," Lloyds Banking Group economist Hann-Ju Ho said in a note.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 30, in Utah, U.S.A., Cyrusher donated ebikes to the Logan Police Department. The enthusiastic move was reported by local news in Utah. The Logan City Police Department thanks the generosity of a new local ebike shop-Cyrusher for donating e-mountain bikes to the patrol station.
Logan is considered one of the safest metro areas in the West. Logan, Utah, has approximately 55 violent crimes per 100,000 people. This is in contrast to the most dangerous areas in the Western United States. This is inseparable from the police department that has always defended and protected the citizens of Logan.
Officers engaging in a variety of activities to fulfill the mission of patrol. Patrol vehicles are the most visible. So traffic jams are also most likely to occur in places with dense vehicles or crowds.
Logan City Police Administration Lt. Barry Parslow said his neighbor recently approached him about wanting to donate the ebikes to officers. That neighbor, Jeff Flammer had recently opened a new physical store and distribution center in Logan for Cyrusher, a global cycling company with sites already in France and the U.K.
"I was out in my yard, and Flammer rode by on his ebike," said Parslow. "He and his family ride ebikes a lot, and he approached me and said they wanted to provide the police department with some ebicycles."
Last week, Flammer showed up at the police department to formally give officers the two mountain bikes. The donated Cyrusher XF690 Maxs is a multifunctional fat tire foldable ebike and retails for around $2,000, for both on and off-road use. The yellow and black painted frame can also be folded in half to make them a bit more compact. It is convenient to carry but can save space by placing it anywhere.
Cyrusher XF690 Maxs
The Cyrusher XF690 Maxs are fitted with 4-inch wide fat tires, which can reach up to 26mph and travel over 50 miles on a single charge, Enable the police to patrol and dispatch the police faster in dense crowds and complex terrains, especially in the face of some special situations, riding ebike can make quicker responses, arrival time can be reduced better compared to police cars, and, as we know, every second saved can also mean a life saved.
Maybe more importantly than the time saved by the speed at which these ebikes can propel polices along is the pedal assist function found on Cyrusher ebikes. The pedal assist function means that these ebike polices will not be pedaling furiously to get through the sand on the beach or running miles down the boardwalk like foot polices have to. Instead, the pedal assist function means that these folk will be able to travel at full speed, 26mph, without hardly breaking a sweat, meaning that they can arrive at the location with a clear mind, ready to address the situation at hand.
Parslow said the new motor-assisted bicycles will allow officers to travel faster in unique circumstances. The bikes will be particularly valuable when patrolling large gatherings of people.
"We plan to use them at parades to help keep crowds back and safe, so the floats can go by and everybody can have a great time. We have special events during the fireworks at Willow Park, around Independence and Pioneer day celebrations. I believe these ebikes will be of great help to us. Activities like this are always crowded, and in the event of an accident, we must rush to the location in the shortest possible time. The XF690 Maxs will help us keep the crowd safe."
Flammer said the Cyrusher bikes will allow police to travel quickly, both on and off-road. They are equipped with hub motors, full suspension, and the hydraulic disc brake system.
"They handle trails and cruising around town," said Flammer. "So anything the Logan City Police Department uses them for will be just fine. And that's what donating ebikes is all about"
According to the report, over 90% of the customers are extremely attractive and supportive of electric bikes, electric scooters, a completely new power bikes, people are very happy to use these ebicycles for a valuable cause.
Flammer said he got involved with Cyrusher when he started looking to buy e-bikes for his family. The popularity of pedal-assist bikes is continuing to grow. This is why I chose Cyrusher.
Cyrusher has been manufacturing bikes in Shenzhen, China, for seven years and opened their hub in Logan to increase their U.S. sales base. Their warehouse is located near 700 W. 200 North. In July, they opened a store at 124 S. 600 West to be able to provide customers with test rides and solve after-sales problems. Cyrusher ebikes have been quality tested internationally and meet CE, UL, Rhos, and FCC standards. The Cyrusher brand name is registered and recognized everywhere - in Australia, China, the United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.
Electric bikes, motorcycles, and electric skateboards are everywhere on the road. Low-carbon will be closely linked with electric travel. The demand in the European and American markets has exceeded that of ordinary electric bicycles. It shows that this field has entered a stage of rapid development, which will also be the direction of the future market. According to industry data, fat tire electric bicycles have rapidly risen in the past two years.
About Cyrusher
Since 2014, The Cyrusher team has always given back to every customer with meticulous professionalism, relentless efforts, and perseverance.

The White House on Thursday morning announced it had reached a “tentative” agreement to avert a national rail strike that threatened the nation’s economy.
Negotiators had until Friday at 12:01 a.m. to reach a deal to avoid a major impact to the economy.
A Department of Labor official confirmed that a deal “that balances the needs of workers, businesses, and our nation’s economy” was reached early Thursday morning after 20 consecutive hours of negotiations between rail companies and union negotiators.
“Secretary Walsh and the Biden administration applaud all parties for reaching this hard-fought, mutually beneficial deal,” a labor official said. “Our rail system is integral to our supply chain, and a disruption would have had catastrophic impacts on industries, travelers and families across the country.”
At issue were the rail carriers’ attendance policies, which conductors and engineers said punish them, and put them at risk of termination, for attending to routine doctor’s visits and family emergencies. Two of the largest and most politically powerful unions representing railroad workers said they strike if the carriers did not allow them to call out of work.
The details of the tentative agreement have not been shared.
The tentative deal caps a frenzy of work at the highest levels of the U.S. government to prevent a strike that would have significantly disrupted the nation’s supply chains.
Biden faced pressure in recent days to ensure the strike was avoided while not undercutting the union workers who he vowed to defend as president.
White House aides had prepared contingency plans aimed at protecting the nation‘s drinking and energy systems in case of an emergency.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police are investigating what led to a stabbing on a city bus that sent a 17-year-old girl to a hospital.
It happened Wednesday on an IndyGo route around East 21st and North Olney streets.
Daian Mann's mother shared photos with 13News which show her daughter being treated in a trauma center.
Manns, who graduated high school early, was riding the bus to an internship at IUPUI when police say another passenger attacked her. Dominique Bailey, 32, was arrested on aggravated battery charges.
Police haven't said what led to the attack, but Daian's mother told 13News it seemed to be a mental health crisis.

World shares mostly higher after wobbly gains on Wall St
World shares were mostly higher on Thursday after a wobbly day of trading yielded modest gains on Wall Street.
Germany’s DAX added 0.4% to 13,075.05 while the CAC 40 in Paris edged 0.1% higher to 6.230.03. Britain’s FTSE 100 climbed 0.6% to 7,320.71. The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials were up 0.3%.
A report on inflation at the wholesale level released Wednesday showed that prices are still rising rapidly, with pressures building underneath the surface, even if overall inflation slowed. It echoed a report on inflation at the consumer level Tuesday, which raised expectations for interest-rate hikes and triggered a rout for markets.
Investors worry rate hikes by the Federal Reserve to cool surging prices could go too far in slowing the U.S. economy and send it into a recession. The Fed is trying to avoid that outcome, but the latest inflation reports suggest that is becoming a more difficult task.
But markets appeared to have settled after Tuesday’s sell-off.
In Asia, Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index gained 0.2% to 27,875.91. Japan reported a record trade deficit for the month of August, driven by high costs for imports of energy and other commodities and a weak yen.
But analysts said they expect a rebalancing in coming months.
“Motor vehicle production should continue to normalize as supply chain disruptions ease, while commodity price growth has eased even further,” Darren Tay of Capital Economics said in a commentary.
The Shanghai Composite index lost 1.2% to 3,199.92, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose 0.4% to 18,930.38.
China’s central bank left its benchmark lending rate unchanged. While other major economies are raising rates to cool inflation, the world’s second-largest economy has been slowing and price increases have been moderate.
The Kospi in Seoul shed 0.4% to 2,401.83, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.2% to 6,842.90.
On Wednesday, the S&P 500 added 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average inched 0.1% higher. The Nasdaq gained 0.7% and the Russell 2000 picked up 0.4%.
Traders now see a one-in-four chance the Fed may hike its benchmark rate by a full percentage point next week, quadruple the usual move, according to the CME Group.
The central bank has already raised its benchmark interest rate four times this year, with the last two increases by three-quarters of a percentage point.
The aggressive action on interest rates is designed to try to cool the hottest inflation in four decades. Tuesday’s report on high prices jolted markets with signs that inflation is entering a more stubborn phase that could require an already resolute Fed to do more.
The broader U.S. economy has been slowing, but consumers have remained resilient and the job market remains strong. Wall Street will get another update on inflation’s latest impact on spending when the government releases its retail sales report for August on Thursday.
In the U.S., businesses and government officials are bracing for the possibility of a nationwide rail strike at the end of this week that could paralyze an already discombobulated supply chain.
The railroads have already started to curtail shipments of hazardous materials and have announced plans to stop hauling refrigerated products ahead of Friday’s strike deadline. Businesses that rely on Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, Kansas City Southern and other railroads to deliver their raw materials and finished products were planning for the worst.
Biden administration officials are scrambling to develop a plan to keep goods moving if the railroads shut down. The White House is also pressuring the two sides to settle their differences, and a growing number of business groups are lobbying Congress to be prepared to intervene and block a strike if they can’t reach an agreement.
In other trading Thursday, U.S. benchmark crude oil gained 54 cents to $89.02 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It jumped $1.17 on Wednesday to $88.48 per barrel.
Brent crude, the pricing basis for international trading, picked up 50 cents to $94.60 per barrel.
The dollar rose to 143.56 Japanese yen from 143.16 yen late Wednesday. The euro was trading at 99.81 cents, up from 99.77 cents.

12-year-old boy charged in shooting at California school
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A 12-year-old boy who police say wounded a fellow student last month at an Oakland school after accidentally firing a gun he brought to campus has been charged in the case, authorities said.
The Oakland Police Department said in a statement Tuesday the boy was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors did not specify what they boy was charged with, saying they couldn’t discuss the case because it involves a minor.
The 13-year-old boy wounded in the Aug. 29 shooting at Madison Park Academy was treated at a hospital and later released, the department said.
Police said the 12-year-old suspect ran away after firing the weapon but was quickly taken into custody and booked at Juvenile Hall on suspicion of assault with a firearm and other weapons charges.
The shooting took place in an open quad area at the school, which both boys attended, authorities said. The gun was recovered.
The school, which has about 750 students in grades six to 12, was evacuated but reopened the following day with counselors available to students and staff.

Illinois's Pritzker Declares Emergency as Asylum Seekers Pour Into Chicago
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker issued an emergency disaster proclamation after hundreds of asylum seekers poured into Chicago by bus from Texas, while New York City Mayor Eric Adams said a similar influx has brought the city to a “breaking point.”
Adams said New York is struggling to shelter, educate and provide health-care to a rush of migrants largely from Central and South America. The Wednesday statement followed criticism from legal aid advocates that said dozens of men were illegally denied shelter earlier in the city.
The 60 men were given shelter early Tuesday, Adams said.
More than 11,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since May, as part of a face-off between Adams and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has been busing migrants to New York City and other “sanctuary” cities. Abbott has tried to put pressure on the Biden administration to help alleviate the impacts from a surge in border crossings.
Thousands more people are expected to arrive each week going forward, according to Adams, who called the surge “unprecedented.”
In Illinois, Pritzker’s order allows the state to deploy 75 members of the Illinois National Guard and to provide everything from transportation, housing and medical treatment, according to a statement Wednesday from Pritzker’s office.
Buses from Texas have arrived almost daily since Aug. 31 without advance notice, and have already transported more than 500 people to Chicago, according to the governor’s office.
“Today, I signed a disaster proclamation allowing the state to speed up the procurement of the immediate resources needed to help Chicago, Cook County, and other jurisdictions provide humanitarian assistance to the asylum seekers who are being sent to our state with no official advance notice by the Governor of Texas,” Pritzker said. “Let me be clear: while other states may be treating these vulnerable families as pawns, here in Illinois, we are treating them as people.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Federal jury in Chicago convicts R. Kelly on multiple counts, but acquits him of fixing his 2008 child pornography trial.

Bounced State Street executive Ivan Cheung, 42, was charged this week with raping two children and two adult women at knifepoint in four separate incidents between 2003 and 2006. Dedication and smart investigative work from Boston Police led to his capture when DNA tests tied him to two of the crimes.
The spineless alleged predator hid from the public at his arraignment, although with social media, the guy’s picture is already everywhere. At his next appearance on Sept. 22, Cheung should be forced to show his face because the public has a right and a need to see the guy as he feels the sting of public shame. Until his face is shown, we may not know the truth about how many women and girls were victimized during his suspected reign of terror.
One of Cheung’s alleged victims deserves special attention, though she is not one of the four in the cases filed this week.
Cheung was charged with raping a Boston University student at 4 a.m. in November 2003, but the charges were quickly dropped. The public has a right to know why because Cheung allegedly raped two more women in 2005 and 2006, but the Suffolk District Attorney has offered no explanation.
Silence, rather than a full explanation, leads reasonable people to conclude that something fishy happened. The Boston University Police and Boston Police both have reports, and the DA’s office has a file. Someone needs to explain why he was allowed to walk free.
The Boston University case is the only one that took place at a college, and colleges are notorious for preventing campus rapes from making their way to the criminal justice system, even today.
Boston University’s reputation was horrendous back in ’03 because victims were often threatened with sanctions if they reported drinking alcohol at the time of the rape. Other schools had amnesty policies that prevented victims from getting in trouble for drinking if they were intoxicated when they were raped.
Advocates complained that victims were declining to report rape for fear of being suspended or kicked off campus, and rapists were exploiting the situation by targeting victims who were drinking, but Boston University continued to use the policy.
The 2003 Boston University victim has a right to justice. Regardless of why her case was dismissed, Cheung now faces charges involving four other victims. Why is her case not included? Have police and prosecutors reached out to her? If her case was dismissed because she was afraid Boston University would punish her for drinking, it’s time to reverse that decision and do the right thing.
Police say Cheung used a knife to forcibly rape the young woman, just like he did with the others. Someone needs to call the victim and apologize. The prosecutor should have the moral integrity to ensure that all Cheung’s alleged victims have their day in court.
Along with an explanation for why the Boston University case was dropped, the District Attorney should explain why evidence from the BU case was not matched to evidence from the alleged rapes of two children earlier in ’03.
According to news reports, there was no DNA from the children’s cases, but police had information about his car, and they knew he was accused of attacking the Boston University student in his car, too. Why was no connection made? If the cases were related, maybe the Boston University charges would not have been dropped and Cheung would have been in prison rather than out on the streets where he was free to allegedly rape again and again.
As the Supreme Court said many years ago, rape is the most serious crime that can happen to a person, short of homicide. So why was the rape of a Boston University student treated like shoplifting? Women in Massachusetts — especially Cheung’s victims from ’05 and ’06 — really want to know.

The combined use of Hexvix® and blue light cystoscopy (BLC) for the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has been included in the global expert consensus guidelines and Chinese Urological Association Guideline.
In January 2021, Asieris entered into a license agreement with Photocure ASA (Photocure, OSE:PHO), a bladder cancer specialty company based in Oslo, Norway, to obtain the exclusive registration and commercialization rights of Hexvix® in mainland China and Taiwan.
In December 2021, Hexvix® was put into pilot use in the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone in Hainan Province and the first prescription in China was issued at Hainan General Hospital, with the first patient operated successfully. It received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for phase III clinical trials in the first quarter of 2022 and was included in the real-world clinical data pilot program.
"The inclusion of Hexvix® in Lecheng Global Specialty Drug Insurance is a positive attempt by Asieris Pharmaceuticals to explore an innovative payment model, aiming to allow Chinese bladder cancer patients earlier access to cutting-edge international diagnosis and treatment methods, and reduce the pressure of out-of-pocket payment. This payment model serves as a strong supplement to the company's commitment to building an integrated closed-loop ecosystem for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment. And we will continue to promote the launch of and access to advanced and innovative drugs and medical devices for the greatest benefit of bladder cancer patients in China," said Mr. Xinming Jiang, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Asieris.

South Korea ‘reviewing various plans’ to stabilise the won
South Korea said it was reviewing “contingency plans” to deal with currency volatility, with the Korean won hovering at a 13-year low against the US dollar as currencies across Asia come under pressure. face of an increasingly aggressive Federal Reserve.
Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho introduced more verbal intervention on Thursday to try to stem an acute sell-off of the Korean currency, saying authorities would take appropriate action if excessive volatility occurred.
“The exchange rate is rising too fast and people are worried about that. So we are closely monitoring the market situation,” he said during a parliamentary session. “We remain vigilant and review various contingency plans through inter-ministerial discussions.”
The Korean took extensive losses on Thursday, falling to 1,393.7 won against the dollar, the lowest level since March 2009. The currency of the export-driven economy has weakened 17 percent against the dollar this year.
The Bank of Korea warned this month that the won’s recent fall was too rapid compared to the country’s economic fundamentals. The central bank raised its key rate by a quarter of a point to 2.5 percent in August and said it would tighten rates further to counter the weakness of the won.
Analysts expected the Korean currency to continue to decline through the end of this year, buoyed by the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary tightening and Seoul’s widening trade deficits.
“Asian currencies, including won, will remain under pressure for the time being as the Fed continues its excessive rate hikes while Japan maintains its loose stance, China cuts interest rates and South Korea does not raise rates as much as the US,” he said. he. Hwang Se-woon, a researcher at the Korea Capital Market Institute. “But the price won is likely to fall further, although the pace is unlikely to be as fast as the yen or yuan.”
The weaker victory has added inflationary pressures by raising import costs, as Asia’s fourth-largest economy relies heavily on energy imports. Inflation in South Korea slowed to 5.7 percent in August, from 6.3 percent in July, its highest point in 24 years.
But the finance minister has predicted that South Korean inflation will peak in October. The country reported a record trade deficit of $9.47 billion in August as export growth slowed, while higher prices of oil and other commodities pushed the country’s import bill up.
“We don’t expect the trading account to support gains gained in the near term,” Standard Chartered said in a recent research note. “Slowing global growth and external demand are likely to put pressure on the trading account and outweigh the benefits of a slump in commodity prices.”

Woman is arrested in South Korea and charged with 'murdering her two children aged seven and ten and hiding their bodies in a suitcase' four years before they were found in New Zealand
- The woman, 42, allegedly killed her two children in Auckland in 2018
- She fled to South Korea and was arrested after Interpol red notice, police say
- The woman denies the murder allegations and could face extradition
A woman has been arrested and charged with murdering her two children whose bodies were found stuffed in suitcases in New Zealand after lying hidden for four years.
The 42-year-old Korean-born New Zealand woman is suspected of fleeing to South Korea in 2018 after allegedly killing her then 7-year-old and 10-year-old children in Auckland, authorities said.
The woman, who denied the murder allegations, was arrested after global police agency Interpol issued a red notice, the Korean National Police Agency said.
A woman (centre) has been arrested and charged with murdering her two children whose bodies were found stuffed in suitcases in New Zealand
The 42-year-old Korean-born New Zealand woman is suspected of fleeing to South Korea in 2018
New Zealand has to formally seek extradition of the suspect within 45 days for a South Korean court to review whether to send her back, the Ministry of Justice said.
New Zealand police launched a homicide inquiry in Auckland after the remains of the children were found by a family going through the contents of a storage locker they had purchased unseen.
'Police arrested the suspect at an apartment in Ulsan on Thursday following a stakeout with tips on her whereabouts and CCTV footage,' South Korea's National Police Agency said in a statement.
'The suspect is accused by the New Zealand police of having murdered her two children - aged seven and 10 at the time - in around 2018 in the Auckland area.'
'She's been found to have arrived in South Korea after the crime and has been in hiding ever since,' it added.
The arrest comes a month after the children's remains were discovered in suitcases by a family at a Manurewa storage unit on August 11 (pictured)
New Zealand police launched a homicide inquiry in Auckland after the remains of the children were found by a family
Images in local media showed the woman, who has not been identified by police in South Korea or New Zealand, being led out of the Ulsan police station by plainclothed investigators, covering her head with a large brown coat.
The woman, who was wearing ripped jeans and sandals, was asked by local media whether she would confess to the killings.
'I didn't do it,' the woman said repeatedly, as she was led away and put into a police vehicle.
South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said the woman started living in an acquaintance's apartment in Ulsan this year, having earlier stayed in Seoul.
'Police plan to transfer the woman to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office in preparation for an extradition screening by the Seoul High Court,' Yonhap said.
The remains of the two children were discovered in August after an unsuspecting family bought a trailer-load of items - including the suitcases - at an auction for abandoned goods near Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city.

New Zealand has to formally seek extradition of the suspect within 45 days for a South Korean court to review whether to send her back
New Zealand police have said the bodies were likely to have been in storage for several years, which has complicated the investigation.
Authorities have repeatedly stressed that the family who found the bodies were not connected to the homicide, and were being given support to help deal with the trauma.
Detective Inspector Tofilau Fa'amanuia Vaaelua in Auckland said Thursday that the case was 'a very challenging investigation'.
'To have someone in custody overseas within such a short period of time has all been down to the assistance of the Korean authorities and the coordination by our New Zealand Police Interpol staff,' the detective said.
It was recently revealed the father of the two dead children died from cancer while living in New Zealand in 2017 before his wife left for South Korea.
NZ Police confirmed three weeks ago the remains of the two children had been identified, but could not be named due to a suppression order.
Local authorities welcomed news of the breakthrough on Thursday morning as they acknowledged to efforts of police in both New Zealand and South Korea.
'This is a matter that needs to be resolved. The story of what happened to those young children needs to be told and I'm hopeful that that will happen soon,' Auckland Councillor Daniel Newman told the New Zealand Herald.
'It was an appalling situation that took place and it was a great slight on the family and the community of Clendon [Park]. So I'm very very hopeful that this matter will be brought to a speedy conclusion because people need closure and our community needs to move on.'
The Korean Society of New Zealand vowed to provide any support the woman requires during the court process if she's extradited back to New Zealand
It's understood the woman was suffering from depression and received little support following the death of her husband in 2017 before fleeing to South Korea.
'We are so sorry to hear about what happened to the children,' vice president Mijin Kim said.
'I think this highlights the need for greater support for those in need of mental health help, both from the government and also from within our communities.'

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, Mass. — About 50 migrants arrived by plane in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., Wednesday on a flight paid for by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and that originated in San Antonio, Texas.
The migrants touched down at about 3:15 p.m. local time. Later Wednesday, a spokesperson for DeSantis sent a statement to NPR and other news outlets confirming that the migrants were transported by Florida under a state program that was funded by the legislature earlier this year. The statement reads in part: "States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration."
The Florida statement refers to two planes, but local officials at Martha's Vineyard say there was only one.
However, a number of migrants told NPR their flight originated in San Antonio, and that they were being transported to Boston.
NPR confirmed that a plane originated in San Antonio, made a stop in Florida and then another stop in South Carolina before flying on to Martha's Vineyard. But apart from that layover, the migrants NPR interviewed had not spent time in Florida.
The unannounced flight drew anger from Massachusetts officials.
"We have the governor of Florida ... hatching a secret plot to send immigrant families like cattle on an airplane," said state Sen. Dylan Fernandes, who represents Martha's Vineyard. "Ship them women and children to a place they weren't told where they were going and never alerted local officials and people on the ground here that they were coming. It is an incredibly inhumane and depraved thing to do."
NPR was able to interview three of the migrants late Wednesday. "They (the migrants) told us they had recently crossed the border in Texas and were staying at a shelter in San Antonio," NPR's Joel Rose said on today's Morning Edition.
The migrants said a woman they identified as "Perla" approached them outside the shelter and lured them into boarding the plane, saying they would be flown to Boston where they could get expedited work papers. She provided them with food. The migrants said Perla was still trying to recruit more passengers just hours before their flight.
Andres Duarte, a 30-year-old Venezuelan, said he had recently crossed the border into Texas and eventually went to a shelter in San Antonio.
"She (Perla) offered us help. Help that never arrived," Andres said. "Now we are here. We got on the plane with a vision of the future, of making it." He went on to explain why he boarded the plane with so little information in hand. "Look, when you have no money and someone offers help, well, it means a lot."
In Martha's Vineyard, the migrants are staying at a church shelter while local authorities and nonprofit organizations figure out what's going to happen next. Lisa Del Castro, who runs a homeless shelter on the island, said resources were initially scarce.
"Everything from beds to food to clothing to toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets, sheets. I mean, we had some of it ... but we did not have the numbers that we needed."
Most of the arrivals spoke little or no English, and Spanish-speaking high school students were pressed into service as interpreters.
Edgartown Police Chief Bruce McNamee said many of the migrants were confused.
"We have talked to a number of people who've asked, 'Where am I?' And then I was trying to explain where Martha's Vineyard is."
The Wednesday flight extends a tactic by Republican politicians in primarily southern states have used to send migrants to Democrat-controlled cities in the north. Republican leaders have used this step to protest the rise in illegal immigration during President Biden's time in office, and the issue figures to be prominent in November's midterm elections.
Martha's Vineyard has a reputation as a destination for the progressive elite, and DeSantis has been regularly bringing up the island enclave at his press conferences. Republican governors in Texas and Arizona have also been transporting migrants from the border to northern cities at taxpayer expense.
Democrats and immigrant advocates say those governors are essentially using migrants as political pawns. But the governors say are simply calling attention to a very real problem.
The U.S. Border Patrol is on pace to record 2 million apprehensions in a fiscal year for the first time ever.
Del Castro, who runs the Martha's Vineyard shelter where the migrants spent the night, said the group is resilient.
"There's some really sad stories. And then some people, the only thing they were expressing is how grateful they are to be here, and to be safe, and cared for, right? And, you know, their needs are immense right now."
NPR spoke with Yesica, a migrant who gave only her first name because of her undocumented immigration status. She said she was uncertain about her future.
"Oh, goodness. I don't know what is going to happen to us," Yesica said, speaking in Spanish. "The truth is I am worried. It will be whatever God wishes, no? We're here now and there's nothing we can do."
"Not even," she added, "to take a step back."

‘Your disregard for human life is terrifying’: Man gets life in prison for selling fentanyl that killed 11 people
ST. PAUL, Minn. (Gray News) – A Minnesota man has been sentenced to life in prison for distributing fentanyl that killed 11 people and left four with serious injuries.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said that Aaron Rhy Broussard, 31, smuggled drugs into the country from China-based suppliers and sold them online from 2014 to 2016.
According to the DOJ, in March 2016, Broussard ordered what he believed to be an amphetamine analogue, similar to Adderall, but was actually fentanyl. He did not test the drugs to ensure what he was getting, the DOJ said. He then sent shipments of fentanyl to unsuspecting customers who believed they were buying Adderall.
The DOJ said those customers were not opiate users and had no tolerance for the fentanyl that Broussard sent them. After taking the fentanyl, believing it was Adderall, 11 of the customers died from an overdose and four were left seriously injured.
According to the DOJ, Broussard continued to distribute the drugs, despite hearing about the overdoses. He knowingly did not warn other customers about the fentanyl mix-up, nor took issue with his suppliers in China.
Broussard was convicted by a jury in March on 17 counts. He was sentenced to life in prison Monday.
During the sentencing hearing, Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson told Broussard, “Your disregard for human life is terrifying.”
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger said numerous families will be forever changed by Broussard’s actions.
“Although the trauma felt by the victims can never be undone and the true cost can never be calculated, Mr. Broussard will now spend the remainder of his life behind bars,” Luger said.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is reminding people that a mere 2 milligrams of fentanyl, equivalent to the size of a few grains of salt, is enough to kill someone.
“The threat of fentanyl is real, and the traffickers pushing this deadly substance will be held accountable for the lives they’ve taken, the families they’ve hurt and the communities they’ve devastated,” DEA Agent Justin King said.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Adhera Health, makers of the Adhera® Precision Digital Companion™ platform, today announced that Luis Fernández Luque, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Adhera Health, is presenting preliminary data on supporting the mental wellbeing of caregivers of children undergoing treatment for growth hormone deficiency from the first sub-study of the Adhera® Caring program, the Company's novel digital health solution for supporting adaptive self-management of caregivers. The data will be presented today at the European Society of Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE 2022) in Rome, Italy.
The Adhera® Caring study (ClinicalTrial.gov: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04812665) is an investigator-sponsored study supported by Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. It was executed in close collaboration with clinical co-investigators from the pediatric endocrinology unit at the University Hospital of Miguel Servet (Zaragoza, Spain). The study followed a mixed-methods approach and included two sub-studies that enrolled caregivers of children showing sub-optimal growth hormone adherence as measured with the Easypod® connected injection device (Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany).
"The results of the Adhera® Caring study show that improving lifestyle and mental health coping skills for caregivers of children with long-term conditions using digital health tools can have a direct impact on a caregiver and their child's quality of life," stated Antonio de Arriba, MD, Ph.D., a pediatric endocrinologist from the University Hospital of Miguel Servet, who led the clinical interpretation of the data presented in the poster. Dr. de Arriba added that "Soon results of the completed second sub-study will give us quantitative insights on the health impact of the program."
The Adhera Caring program is built on top of the Adhera® Precision Digital Companion™ Platform that includes two major components: adaptive self-management content powered by a health recommender system. The personalized subject matter is delivered via a mobile app and includes psycho-educational content, cognitive behavioral therapy activities for mental wellbeing, and personalized motivational messages. The health recommender system is built using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to select and personalize motivational messages, making them more relevant and effective.
"We are excited about these promising outcomes, which show that emerging digital therapeutic solutions like Adhera® Caring are a much-needed tool in a pharma company or clinician toolbox," said Ricardo C. Berrios, CEO of Adhera Health. "Caregivers, who are often forgotten in the healthcare ecosystem, struggle with their emotional wellbeing and need support. The Adhera® Caring program moves us closer to our goal of addressing unmet needs across multiple chronic conditions and impacting millions of lives."

A Royal Guard suddenly collapsed as he was guarding the Queen 's coffin at Westminster Hall on the first night of the monarch lying in state. The guard collapsed at around 1am this morning.
The guard was holding a ceremonial staff and standing at the foot of the raised platform displaying the casket when he fell to the ground. Footage was captured on a live BBC broadcast from inside Westminster Hall with nearby officials quickly rushing to his aid, Manchester Evening News reports.
As he was tended to, the video feed from inside cut to an exterior shot. An hour later, it had still yet to return to the scene inside. Soldiers in ceremonial uniform are standing guard, maintaining a 24-hour vigil around the Queen's coffin while she is lying in state.

Happening now: Swearing-in of Mombasa Governor
It is a battle of clans in race for Narok assembly Speaker
It is a battle of Maasai clans in the race for Narok County Assembly Speaker, with about 10 aspirants expressing interest in the third most powerful county post.
The minority Siria, from Transmara West, remains the favourite for the seat as the clans and communities share key county positions.
The contestants want to replace former Speaker Nkoidila ole Lankas, who has said he will defend his seat.
Among them is the pioneer Speaker, Mr Nicholas Kamwaro.
Both Mr Kamwaro and Mr Lankas hail from the populous Purko clan, to which Governor Patrick Ntutu also belongs.
Others are lawyer Allan Meing'ati, who vied for the Narok North MP’s seat under ODM but lost to Ms Agnes Pareiyo of Jubilee in last month’s polls.
Another aspirant is Mr Luka Parnyumbe, a former independent Senate candidate and the chairman of people with disabilities in Narok. He is also from the Purko clan.
The minority Siria will be banking on Mr Shadrack Sabaya and Mr David Dikir as they angle to get a fair share of the county’s influential seats.
Mr Sabaya contested the Kilgoris MP’s seat and lost to veteran Kanu-era politician Julius Sunkuli, who made a comeback after two decades in the political cold.
Mr Dikir, popularly known as Tall, is a former manager of the Kilgoris constituency CDF and is touted as the frontrunner in the race.
Aspirants must pick up their nomination papers as from Thursday, September 15, assembly Clerk Maiyani Tuya said.
The swearing-in of the assembly’s 49 MCAs will take place on Wednesday next week, after which they will elect a Speaker.
Intensive lobbying for the post is going on.
The contest is a battle between the ruling Kenya Kwanza and Azimio One Kenya.
Kenya Kwanza has 19 of the 30 elected MCAs, while Azimio has 11.
Lolgorian MCA-elect Michael Seme (Jubilee), who hails from the Siria clan, believes the seat should be theirs for the taking.
"The governor is a Purko, the deputy governor is a Kipsigis, the senator is Ildamat. As Siria, we feel that we deserve this Speaker's seat,” Mr Seme said.
He said the clan should not be discriminated against simply because it held the governor’s seat for 10 years.
Former governor Samuel Tunai is from the Siria clan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A long-delayed plan to dismantle Interstate 375, a 1-mile (1.6-kilometer) depressed freeway in Detroit that was built by demolishing Black neighborhoods 60 years ago, was a big winner of federal money Thursday, the first Biden administration grant awarded to tear down a racially divisive roadway.
The $104.6 million is among $1.5 billion in transportation grants handed out to 26 projects nationwide thanks to increased funding from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law.
It allows Michigan to move forward on its $270 million effort to transform the stretch in Detroit into a street-level boulevard, reconnecting surrounding neighborhoods and adding amenities, such as bike lanes. Black Bottom and Paradise Valley, two of the city's predominantly African American neighborhoods, were razed as part of the 1950s creation of an interstate highway system, displacing 100,000 Black residents and erecting a decades-long barrier between the downtown and communities to the east.
Hailed by city and state leaders as helping rectify a past racial wrong, the federal money represents a key first step that advocacy groups say will inspire dozens of citizen-led efforts underway in other cities to dismantle highways. Still, advocates cautioned that Michigan's plan to build a six-lane city boulevard risks simply replacing one busy roadway with another. Long-time Black residents, meanwhile, say they will be priced out of the city by new business development and shiny condo buildings that promise direct links to downtown.
After years of planning dating back to 2013, the highway removal is now estimated to begin as soon as 2025, two years earlier than expected, with construction finished by 2028.
“This stretch of I-375 cuts like a gash through the neighborhood, one of many examples I have seen in communities across the country where a piece of infrastructure has become a barrier,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told The Associated Press. He was joining Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan later Thursday in Detroit to highlight the grant.
“With these funds, we're now partnering with the state and the community to transform it into a road that will connect rather than divide," Buttigieg said.
Other winners Thursday of the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America, or INFRA, grants include $32.5 million for Flagstaff, Arizona, to build pedestrian underpasses to reconnect lower-income neighborhoods isolated by a 1-mile segment of railroad to downtown; $100 million to Clear Creek County, Colorado, for upgrades to 8 miles of the I-70 Mountain Corridor, including electric vehicle charging stations; $110 million to New York to expand refrigerated warehouse space at its Hunts Point food distribution center; and $70 million to improve rail track in Chicago.
Detroit's project would create a slower-speed boulevard that aims to improve safety by removing a steep curve and adding LED lighting, while removing 15 old bridges and two stormwater runoff pump stations and building out wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes and pedestrian crossings.
Whitmer had originally sought as much as $180 million in federal money for the project. Because that would have been a tall order under the Biden administration's Reconnecting Communities pilot program, which was funded by Congress at just $1 billion over five years, Buttigieg's Department of Transportation opted to award $104 million to Michigan under the federal INFRA discretionary grant program, which has a bigger total pot of $8 billion over five years.
Christopher Coes, assistant secretary for transportation policy, said the Detroit grant reflected Buttigieg's pledge to make Reconnecting Communities a broad “principle” of his department — not just a single program — with many efforts underway. Money under that specific $1 billion pilot will be awarded late this year or early next.
Ben Crowther, advocacy manager for America Walks and coordinator for the Freeway Fighters Network, praised the new federal grant. While there are over 50 grassroots efforts around the country aimed at removing or repurposing highways, only three cities — Detroit, Syracuse, New York and Somerville, Massachusetts — have demolition plans that are shovel-ready, making them prime candidates for federal funding.
"The fact the Detroit project is now moving forward really speaks to the priorities that U.S. DOT has set for reconnecting communities that are trickling down to the state level," Crowther said. While community debate will likely continue over the best design and whether a six-lane boulevard is a good approach, he said, the new federal focus on equity is “a lot of inspiration for local groups for that reason alone.”
Still, some Black residents worry the new boulevard could only create more problems.
Sam Riddle, political director of the Michigan National Action Network and a longtime resident of the area, says to truly address racial inequity, city officials need to take a more holistic approach to improving Black livelihood, such as building affordable housing.
“They’re not going to right a historical wrong where Black businesses were wiped out,” Riddle said. “What they’re going to do is repeat the same mistake that prices out majority-Black Detroit.”

Soap Market to Reach USD 55.29 Billion by 2027 | Soap Industry Striking CAGR of 5.0%
Key companies covered in Soap Market are Beiersdorf AG (Germany), Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (U.K.), Kao Corporation (Japan), Unilever (U.K.), Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (Germany), Ecolab Inc.(U.S.), Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. (U.S.), Natura & Co. (Brazil), Procter & Gamble (U.S.), Colgate-Palmolive Co.(U.S.), and more players profiled.
/EIN News/ -- Pune, India, Sept. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Fortune Business Insights, the global soap market size is projected to reach USD 55.29 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. Rapid transmission of the COVID-19 infection is set to play a central role in fueling the growth of this market, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its recent report, titled “Soap Market, 2020-2027”. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the coronavirus spreads through respiratory droplets and physical contact. Therefore, to avoid spreading the virus through these routes, the WHO along with many other bodies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended regular washing of hands using soap and water. Comprehensive washing of hands kills the virus and this practice is currently seen as the most effective way to preventing transmission among people, especially given that a vaccine for the infection is many months away. Thus, the demand for soaps in all shapes and forms is slated to experience meteoric rise as the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies and worsens during the course of the current year.
The emergence of COVID-19 has brought the world to a standstill. We understand that this health crisis has brought an unprecedented impact on businesses across industries. However, this too shall pass. Rising support from governments and several companies can help in the fight against this highly contagious disease. There are some industries that are struggling and some are thriving. Overall, almost every sector is anticipated to be impacted by the pandemic.
We are taking continuous efforts to help your business sustain and grow during COVID-19 pandemics. Based on our experience and expertise, we will offer you an impact analysis of coronavirus outbreak across industries to help you prepare for the future.

Market Driver
Rising Popularity of Organic Soaps to Boost the Market
The soap market growth is likely to benefit from the steadily climbing popularity of organic soaps and soap products. This changing demand trend is driven by the multiple advantages that these type of soaps offer over their traditional counterparts. For example, organic soaps do not contain harmful substances such as paraben and triclosan, which have anti-bacterial properties, but are hazardous to the body and the environment as they are made out of petrochemicals. Instead, these soaps are infused natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera and turmeric, which have natural anti-bacterial properties and cause no harm to the body. Furthermore, organically-produced soaps are rich in natural antioxidants such as essential oils and honey, thereby keeping the skin healthy and nourished as well as slowing down its aging process. Organic soaps offer many more health benefits and as a result, they are being increasingly preferred to regular soaps, especially in the western developed countries.

Regional Analysis
Escalating Number of COVID-19 Cases in the US to Surge Demand for Soaps in North America
With nearly 1.5 million confirmed cases and over 86,000 deaths, the US is currently the worst-hit country by the coronavirus pandemic. As a consequence, the demand for soap products is surging in the country, which will enable North America to dominate the soap market share in the immediate future.
In 2019, the market size in Asia Pacific stood at USD 12.63 billion.

The Bachelorette's Brooke Blurton comes clean about a lie she told on social media: 'I'm a fraud'
Brooke Blurton has revealed she's been fudging the truth with her beloved fans.
The Bachelorette star, 27, confessed on her Not So PG podcast on Thursday she's been 'faking' she's been in Australia to keep her exciting new project under wraps.
She told her co-host Matty Mills she had actually been in Argentina participating as a celebrity contestant on Channel 10's new competitive reality show The Challenge.
Brooke Blurton (pictured) admitted on Thursday she has been fudging the truth to her fans about her whereabouts over the past month
'I've had someone taking care of my socials and making out like I'm in Oz, but Brooke's a fraud,' she joked.
Matty then told Brooke he understood why she was so excited about appearing as a contestant alongside such an all-star cast.
Brooke apologised to her 288,000 Instagram fans for 'deceiving' them and fortunately they were understanding.
Brooke told her Not So PG co-host Matty Mills (pictured) she had been in Argentina to film her role in Channel Ten's celebrity reality series The Challenge
One fan told her 'we've missed you' while others asked what it was like working with her former Bachelorette flame Konrad Bień-Stephen.
The youth worker did not dish on any behind-the-scenes details and simply told her fans it was 'so good to be back with you all'.
Brooke rose to fame on The Bachelor in 2018 and went on to star in Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelorette.
Celebrity contestants will compete against each other while living under one roof, with a male winner and a female winner scoring $100,000 apiece. Brooke is pictured second row, right
Earlier this month, Channel 10 announced the full list of celebrities who will be competing alongside athletes on the upcoming series.
Konrad Bień-Stephen and Megan Marx have both been confirmed after their steamy affair followed his secret break-up with Abbie Chatfield.
MAFS bride Cyrell Paule has also signed on, as has David Subritzky from I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm and Jack Vidgen.
The series, which has been described as a cross between Survivor and Ninja Warrior, was filmed in August and is set to air on Channel 10 in November.

Walking through the concrete hallways beneath the lower bowl at Lincoln Financial Field, Brianna Castro couldn’t stop smiling as she navigated her way toward the tunnel that led to the football field. More than a decade ago, Castro worked concession stands at the Eagles home stadium.
This past week, Castro’s visit to the Linc carried a much more significant meaning.
The North Philadelphia-bred singer-songwriter is part of a venture the team is launching, titled “Eagles Gameday Poster Project Playlist.” The Gameday Poster Project Playlist is intended to showcase local artists in a collaboration through exclusive music tracks and illustrative posters that characterize the build-up of each home game throughout the 2022 regular season.
» READ MORE: Eagles film: Scheme, not Jordan Davis, had more to do with run defense struggles vs. Lions
“Eagles fans are so passionate, I feel like we pour the same amount of passion into our music,” Castro said. “I love creating music so much because it’s the best way for me to express myself. Sometimes I’m not always the best at conversations in the moment. I need time to sit down and reflect. When I’m able to gather and write down my thoughts, it portrays in a more meaningful way. I just love to write.”
The Gameday Poster Project Playlist is being executive produced by Philadelphia-based rapper Chill Moody. The Pepsi-sponsored digital gameday posters will combine original artwork with exclusive, unreleased music tracks. The Eagles plan to release each digital poster and track every Friday before home games. Throughout the season, fans can listen to the tracks on the Eagles Mobile App playlist.
The first digital poster/track will release Saturday ahead of the team’s home opener versus the Vikings on Monday night.
“We hope this creates an incredible experience for the artists,” said Jen Kavanagh, the Eagles’ senior vice president of media and marketing. “We ultimately want to amplify their talents. Music is a very complicated space. It can be tough to navigate. The goal is to create opportunities and utilize our platforms to provide fans with access to these tracks three days before the rest of the world.”
Moody has taken on several big projects across the city. He has performed at various festivals, including Jay-Z’s “Made In America,” and also ventured into the food/drink space, collaborating with local breweries and releasing his own IPA. Asked how his past collaborations and accomplishments compare to the Gameday Poster Project, Moody became emotional.
“This is something that’s never happened before,” Moody said. “Independent artists linking with a professional team. It gives us an opportunity to shine, and we’re bringing people along the way. It’s an amazing way to amplify the city as a whole.”
As part of the project, the Eagles recently invited the artists to the NovaCare Complex. They were able to interact with various staff, including players and coaches. Moody labeled his run-in with quarterback Jalen Hurts as “unforgettable.”
Running backs coach Jemal Singleton also wrote about his interaction with country artist Breland on his Instagram: “Was fortunate enough to meet Breland last week. He’s not only a great artist and New Jersey native, but more importantly, he’s a diehard Eagles fan. 🤣 Came across some of his music a few months ago. His album Cross Country releases tomorrow and I can’t wait to hear it.”

The music lineup features tracks from a wide range of genres, including hip-hop/rap, rock, country, pop, and Latin. Musical artists include: Jimmie Allen, Breland, Brianna Castro, JustMadNice, Lester London + Dot Cromwell, The Menzingers, Reef The Lost Cauze, Suzanne Sheer, and Chill Moody + NxG.
The local visual artists include: James Boyle (@boylejames), Veronica Gilman (@verofactum), Hannah Gosta (@hannahadraws), HAP (@hapforshort), Ryan Lynn (@ryanlynndesign), Rachel Perciphone (@rachelperciphone), Jason Piperberg (@jasonpiperberg), Tiff Urquhart (@urquh.art), and Keni Thomas (@thomcat23).

How the elite will see out the apocalypse: Swiss firm creates huge fortified underground bunkers for 'the most powerful individuals in the world'
- An armoury can be installed 50ft underground along with an airlock and decontamination chamber
- The structure is built to NATO-specifications with the same formulation used to build nuclear power plants
- An 'Oppidum' is fully airtight and can be completely isolated from the outside atmosphere if required
- Oppidum says its bunkers apply technology from NASA and are available in the EU, UK, USA and the UAE
A Swiss firm is offering to build apocalypse-proof fortified bunkers underneath the residences of 'the most powerful individuals in the world'.
Oppidum has unveiled its new L' Heritage 10,760 sq. ft fortified underground bunkers described as 'optimised for super-luxury everyday lifestyle, while prepared for all surface threats'.
An 'Oppidum', the eponymously named underground bunker, is fully airtight and gastight and can be completely isolated from the outside atmosphere if required, such as in the case of a man-made or natural disaster.
Arriving by surface helicopter pad, home-owners can descend almost 50ft below ground to enter a huge garage space designed for prestige car collections.
After passing through an airlock, fully equipped as a decontamination chamber, features include a private art gallery, secure meeting lounge, comfortable bedroom suites, indoor garden, spa and other leisure amenities for everyday use.
There is also a vault to store collections of art masterpieces, gold, cash and other valuables.
An optional armoury can be installed built to NATO-standard ballistic and blast protection levels, using high-density concrete with the same formulation used to build nuclear power plants.

Want to survive the apocalypse in style? A Swiss company is offering to construct ultra-luxury bunkers under your mansion
Swiss firm Oppidum has unveiled its new L' Heritage fortified underground residences for 'the most powerful individuals in the world', complete with a huge garage space designed for prestige car collections
The 10,760 sq. ft structures are described as 'optimised for super-luxury everyday lifestyle, while prepared for all surface threats'. There is also a vault to store collections of art masterpieces, gold, cash and other valuables
After passing through an airlock, fully equipped as a decontamination chamber, features include a private art gallery, secure meeting lounge, comfortable bedroom suites, indoor garden, spa and other leisure amenities for everyday use
Oppidum say their bunkers are available in the EU, UK, USA and UAE. Applying technology from NASA, store rooms contain stocks of long-lasting and nutritious food, sufficient for months or even years. The separate medical room has its own secure storage for essential medical supplies
Jakub Zamrazil, Oppidum founder and chief executive officer, said: 'We take an optimistic view of the world. But not all events are foreseeable or preventable. It is wise to be prepared to weather the storm when necessary.
'In an uncertain world, an Oppidum provides peace of mind. It is a place of strength that enables our clients to preserve and protect what matters most.'
'An Oppidum integrates the highest levels of environmental and military protection systems seamlessly into a luxurious addition to an existing family estate,' the company said.
Oppidum says its bunkers are available in the following markets: EU, UK, USA and UAE.
Applying technology from NASA, store rooms contain stocks of long-lasting and nutritious food, sufficient for months or even years. The separate medical room has its own secure storage for essential medical supplies.
Access to the spacious underground garage, known as the Parc Fermé and guarded by an internal security gate, is via a hydraulically actuated ramp set into the ground so as to be almost invisible.
Oppidum's main entrance is an airlock, fully equipped as a decontamination chamber. It is enclosed by two sets of custom-made Oppidum blast doors.
The outer door is controlled by a multi-biometric reader that simultaneously scans face, iris, palm and fingerprints.
The inner blast door leads to a magnificent entrance hall laid with fine-grained solid wood flooring.
The ceiling soars almost 17ft overhead and is decorated with opulent hand-crafted glass chandeliers

The bunker includes an inner garden mimicking the outdoors. Flowers and plants are sustained by sophisticated automatic irrigation. Through full-light spectrum simulation, the sun rises and sets and the seasons change in the skylight overhead
The retreat also has a swimming pool, filled with saltwater or freshwater, plus a full collection of exercise machines
Water is supplied from deep underground by a private well, entirely independent of the public supply. In case of a power outage, blackout or instability in the grid, the power system seamlessly switches to one of its multiple fail-safe alternative power sources, including twin diesel generators and back-up batteries
State-of-the-art fire protection, ventilation, temperature and humidity control systems keep items in perfect condition
An indoor cinema is also included in the space, optimised to cater for the tastes of the global elite isolated from the outside
At the touch of a button, the opaque safety glass wall becomes transparent, revealing a private art gallery beyond
Belying the fact that it is underground, the ceiling soars almost 17ft overhead and is decorated with opulent hand-crafted glass chandeliers. All furniture is custom made.
The opaque safety glass wall becomes transparent upon pressing a single button, making the private art gallery visible.
The gallery is constructed to the same anti-intrusion standards as commercial bank vaults, complying with insurance company criteria.
Fire protection, ventilation, temperature and humidity control systems preserve the collection, the company said.
The bunker includes an inner garden mimicking the outdoors, with flowers and plants sustained by automatic irrigation.
Through full-light spectrum simulation, the sun rises and sets and the seasons change via the skylight overhead.
The hidden technology that sustains life underground is housed in a suite of technical rooms. The main systems operate autonomously, with backup circuits if required
An Oppidum has two independent air filtration units. The primary unit is designed for ordinary peacetime use. The secondary unit is a military grade chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) system
An Oppidum is fully airtight and gastight and can be completely isolated from the outside atmosphere if required. A unique high-pressure air reserve and internal circulation enables occupants to breathe normally and safely
The retreat also has a swimming pool, filled with saltwater or freshwater, plus a full collection of exercise machines.
The technology that sustains the underground bunker environment is housed in a suite of technical rooms. The main systems operate autonomously, with backup circuits available.
An Oppidum has two independent air filtration units. The primary unit is designed for ordinary peacetime use. The secondary unit is a military grade chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) system.
A high-pressure air reserve and internal circulation enables occupants to breathe normally and safely.
The air filtration unit is equipped with a CO2 removal system, combined with an auxiliary oxygen supply that provides breathable air when there is insufficient or no fresh air entering the building.
Water is supplied from deep underground by a private well, entirely independent of the public supply.
In case of a power outage, blackout or instability in the grid, the power system seamlessly switches to one of its multiple fail-safe alternative power sources, including twin diesel generators and back-up batteries.

LVMH to turn off lights at night in French stores
PARIS, Sept 15 (Reuters) - LVMH plans to turn off the lights at its stores at night, starting in France in October, with plans to deploy the energy-saving measure in other parts of the world at a later stage, the luxury giant said on Thursday.
Stores that keep the lights on throughout the night - which many do, despite legislation that requires them to turn them off - have sparked much criticism in France in recent weeks, amid calls for businesses to do more to fight climate change.
LVMH, the world's largest high end goods conglomerate, which operates 522 stores and 110 production sites in France, said it would turn off the lights at stores between 10 pm and 7 am, while its offices would go dark at 9 pm.
It will also lower temperature settings at industrial sites by 1 degree Celsius in winter and raise them by 1 degree in summer, it said.
The company said the two measures will allow it to cut its energy usage by 10%.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne in late August urged companies to draft energy savings plans this month, warning they would be hit first if ever France was left with no choice but to ration supply of gas and electricity. (Reporting by Mimosa Spencer; editing by Ingrid Melander and Jason Neely)

U.S. tech-focused hedge funds brace for heavy losses amid market slide
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Carolina Mandl
NEW YORK, Sept 15 (Reuters) - U.S. hedge funds that focus broadly on technology investments are bracing for heavy losses this year as gloomier economic data sparked a fresh selloff this week, shrinking hopes of clawing back any significant ground in coming months.
For fund managers, including those gathered at one of the industry's biggest conferences in New York, any optimism from last week's market rally was sapped by a fresh sucker punch on Tuesday as the S&P 500 slid 4.3%. Many funds were already sitting on declines of 30% or more.
Speakers at a panel on the state of the industry at the SALT New York 2022 conference urged investors to stick with their bets, arguing the downturn could become a money making opportunity.
But off stage, the mood was darker.
"It will take a lot of work to get out of this hole," said David Moon, managing director at Symmetric.io which tracks hedge fund managers' investments and returns.
Even before this week's decline, funds that bet on technology and health care stocks were feeling the pain. Whale Rock Capital Management LLC's main fund tumbled 38% through August while HMI Capital Management dropped 39% in the first eight months of the year. Casdin Capital was off 50% and SoMa Partners was off 31%.
Other prominent fund managers, including some who got their start with the recently deceased Julian Robertson, credited with helping pioneer making money when stocks fall, are also in the red. Coatue Management lost 17% in the first eight months of the year while Maverick Capital is off 27% through August.
Representatives for the funds declined to comment.
"I've been through 9 bear markets and they absolutely suck," said Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner of investment firm SkyBridge Capital and founder of the three-day SALT conference.
The broader S&P 500 Index fell 17% through August while the average hedge fund dropped 4% through August according to Hedge Fund Research (HFR). The HFR technology and healthcare index is down roughly 15%.
Goldman Sachs reported that hedge funds stocked up on tech stocks again last week, making it the most robust buying spree in the sector in seven months.
For many of these funds this year's losses come after a string of strong returns fueled by a decade long bull market, investors and fund managers said.
And not all hedge fund are faring poorly this year.
Citadel reported that its Wellington fund returned 3.74% in August, bringing its year to date returns to 25.75%. DE Shaw, in its Composite fund, reported a 20% gain to investors. Representatives for the firms declined to comment.
At the SALT conference, poor returns were top of mind, as the focus of the conference also shifted from hedge funds to crypto investments. Many of the prominent investors who appeared over the years, including Steven A. Cohen, Daniel Loeb, and Ray Dalio were absent. Private concerts and pool-side parties that featured when the conference was held at the Bellagio in Las Vegas were replaced by buffet lunches with pasta, tacos and salad at the cavernous Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.
Two hedge fund executives who skipped SALT this year told Reuters they were worried about the optics of paying thousands of dollars for a ticket at a time investors were withdrawing capital from their firms.
Greg Jensen, co-chief investment officer at Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's biggest hedge funds founded by Ray Dalio, echoed the more somber tone. Financial markets had not fully priced the prospect of a recession, he warned, just hours before the market tumbled on Tuesday and slipped more on Wednesday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday flew two planes of immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, escalating a tactic by Republican governors to draw attention to what they consider to be the Biden administration’s failed border policies.
Flights to the upscale island enclave in Massachusetts were part of an effort to “transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations,” said Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ communications director.
While DeSantis’ office didn’t elaborate on their legal status, many migrants who cross the border illegally from Mexico are temporarily shielded from deportation after being freed by U.S. authorities to pursue asylum in immigration court — as allowed under U.S law and international treaty — or released on humanitarian parole.
Massachusetts’ Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, said he was in touch with local officials and that short-term shelter was being provided.
State Rep. Dylan Fernandes, who represents Martha’s Vineyard, tweeted: “Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing thousands of migrants to Washington in April and recently added New York and Chicago as destinations. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has been busing migrants to Washington since May. Passengers must sign waivers that the free trips are voluntary.
DeSantis, who is mentioned as potential presidential candidate, appears to be taking the strategy to a new level by using planes and choosing Martha’s Vineyard, whose harbor towns that are home to about 15,000 people are far less prepared than New York or Washington for large influxes of migrants.
The move is likely to delight DeSantis’ supporters who deride Democrat-led, immigrant-friendly “sanctuary” cities and anger critics who say he is weaponizing migrants as pawns for political gain.
The Florida Legislature appropriated $12 million to transport “illegal immigrants” from the state consistent with federal law, Fenske said.
“States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden Administration’s open border policies,” Fenske said.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Dingdong (Cayman) Ltd. ("Dingdong" or the "Company") (NYSE: DDL) of a class action securities lawsuit.
CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Dingdong investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of persons who purchased, or otherwise acquired, Dingdong American Depository Shares pursuant or traceable to the F-1 registration statements and related prospectus on Form 424B4 issued in connection with Dingdong's June 2021 initial public stock offering. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:
DDL investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: According to the filed complaint, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the Company's initial public offering misstated and/or omitted facts concerning Dingdong's so-called commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of the food it distributes to the market. For example, despite claiming that it applies "stringent quality control across [its] entire supply chain to ensure product quality to [its] users," Dingdong sold food past its sell-by date. Consequently, Dingdong was, in fact, no better at providing or assuring access to "fresh" groceries than the supermarkets, traditional Chinese wet markets, or traditional e-commerce platforms it repeatedly claimed to be displacing. Moreover, the foregoing conduct subjected Dingdong to an increased risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny and enforcement, all of which, once revealed, were likely to negatively impact Dingdong's business, operations, and reputation.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Dingdong during the relevant time frame, you have until October 24, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.

A $100,000 grant for the Bethlehem Food Co-Op will be put towards building an on-site kitchen in the co-op’s future grocery store, state Sen. Lisa Boscola announced last week.
The Bethlehem Food Co-Op’s member-owned grocery store will be the anchor tenant in a new Broad Street apartment complex in Bethlehem, and the 6,500 square feet leased for the store will also feature a kitchen. The grant from Boscola will go towards construction-related activities associated with the kitchen.
The four-floor, mixed-use building, owned by Peron Development, is located at 250 E. Broad St. just east of Bethlehem’s historic district. More than 8,000 households sit in a 1-mile radius of the site, which is located on the edge of a low-income census tract in which a significant number of residents live at least a half-mile from the nearest grocery store.
Many of Bethlehem’s South Side residents live over a half-mile from the nearest grocery store as well, but part of the location’s draw for the site was its proximity to public transit and opportunity for a parking lot.
“The Bethlehem Food Co-Op will meet a critical need for a grocery store in the northern section of Bethlehem’s downtown, and its kitchen will play a critical role in the co-op’s goal of providing nutritious foods to its customers,” Boscola said in a news release. “The Bethlehem Food Co-Op’s overall goal is to provide healthy affordable food with an emphasis on locally sourced food to improve access to healthy foods and thus improve the public health of our community. This is a goal more than worthy of this state funding.”
The grocery store will be owned by the 1,100-plus members of the Bethlehem Food Co-Op, who can shop for a discounted rate. The co-op’s membership fee is a one-time payment of $300 or a $25-per-month installment plan over 12 months.
The co-op and Peron broke ground on the site in the spring and construction is underway. The grocery store and apartments are slated to open in 2023.

The Boston Teachers Union on Wednesday night voted to ratify a three-year contract worth about $141.6 million with the school district that includes money for new hires to help integrate students with special learning needs into general classroom settings, a 9.5 percent pay rise for educators over the course of the contract and 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all union members.
“For more than a year, our members, united with parents, students, and community allies, have been advocating for a contract that addresses the district’s structural challenges and our students’ unique needs,” BTU President Jessica Tang said in a statement after the vote. “This contract helps us move forward toward creating the schools our students deserve.”

Ratification of the contract comes after a protracted and sometimes tense negotiating period that lasted months. BTU was unable to come to an agreement with Boston Public Schools before the end of June as planned. With pressure mounting and potential state receivership of BPS looming, Mayor Michelle Wu and the union struck a deal in July.
The main sticking point throughout negotiations was how to better support the education of students with individual learning plans as well as those who are learning English; union members had raised concerns that educators were already spread too thin. The state also identified the inclusion of these students as one of the main objectives BPS has to meet as part of its school improvement plan. The new contract insures there will be more money to hire personnel in a multitude of roles with expertise in both education specialties.
“Our members have been laser focused on improving student outcomes and building a more equitable public education system in Boston,” Tang said. “They see this contract as taking significant steps towards providing the resources and tools to deliver on that vision.”

Amid a national teachers shortage, the union secured a 3 percent raise for its members in year one with an additional 3.5 percent raise in year two and another 3 percent raise in the final year of the contract, at the expense of an estimated $102.8 million to the district. The increases were a marked improvement over the district’s April proposal which would have seen wages rise by less than 2 percent over the three-year lifespan of the contract, an offer the union rebuffed.
BTU members will also be entitled to 12 weeks of paid parental leave moving forward, as long as they have worked in the BPS system for a minimum of 12 months. This is a revision of the previous policy, which only allowed for paid leave if an educator had been working in the district for two to three years.
Additional stipulations in the contract include the expansion of the city’s pilot program to house up to 4,000 homeless youth and their families, firmer caps on class sizes and a more flexible timeline for educators to obtain new licenses. These new policies will apply to more than 8,000 active teachers and other professionals working in BPS.
The contract is still pending approval from the Boston School Committee, which is expected to vote on the contract in the coming weeks. The committee will have to request the Boston City Council add an additional $38 million to their budget for fiscal year 2023 in order to meet the terms of the contract.

Indonesia is trying to attract more so-called "digital nomads" to its tropical shores by offering a more flexible visa, the country's tourism minister said, in a move welcomed by the tourism industry on the resort island of Bali.
In recent years, some Asian holiday destinations have seen an influx of digital nomads, or long-stay visitors from overseas who combine travel and recreation with remote working.
Tourism Minster Sandiaga Uno said in a post on his Instagram account that digital nomads could now visit Indonesia and work for up to six months using a social-cultural visa.
"I am increasingly convinced the number of foreign tourists who are interested in staying in Indonesia will increase and will automatically have an impact on economic revival," he said.
Employment under this category of visa has not previously been permitted and Indonesia is yet to outline how it could tax digital nomads, but the plan has been positively received by the Bali tourism board.
"We have to embrace this opportunity," said the board's chairman Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana.
"But I suggest the government make a clear regulation regarding this. For example, travellers must pay a certain amount of tax to the Indonesian government if they work from Bali," he said.
Indonesia's immigration department declined to comment on the move when contacted by Reuters.
Foreign arrivals in Bali are expected to reach pre-pandemic levels of six million by 2025, the tourism association said, as the island recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Data from the tourism ministry showed that more than 3,000 digital nomads entered Indonesia from January to August this year, mostly from Russia, Britain and Germany, with the majority staying in Bali.
President Joko Widodo recently berated immigration officials over the difficulties that foreigners, including investors and tourists, have faced obtaining visas.
Other countries in the region are also seeking to tap opportunities for remote work. The Philippines is offering "workation" packages in the resort of Boracay, while Malaysia announced regulations this week to allow digital nomads who qualify to stay for 12 months.

Crowds queue for queen’s coffin as Charles spends quiet day
LONDON (AP) — Thousands of mourners lined up through the night to file past the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II in Parliament’s Westminster Hall on Thursday, as King Charles III spent a day in private to reflect on his first week on the throne.
The queue to see the queen lying in state stretched for nearly four miles (around six kilometers) past Tower Bridge. The line snakes along the south bank of the River Thames and then over a bridge to Parliament. Thousands in the line didn’t mind the hours of waiting.
“I’m glad there was a queue because that gave us time to see what was ahead of us, prepared us and absorbed the whole atmosphere,” said health care professional Nimisha Maroo. “I wouldn’t have liked it if I’d had to just rush through.”
After a day of high ceremony and high emotion on Wednesday as the queen was borne in somber procession from Buckingham Palace, the king was spending the day in “private reflection” at his Highgrove residence in western England. Charles has had calls with U.S. President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron and is speaking to a host of world leaders — many of whom will come to London on Monday for the queen’s funeral.
Heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, will visit the royal family’s Sandringham estate in eastern England to see some of the tributes left by well-wishers.
On Wednesday the queen left Buckingham Palace for the last time, borne on a horse-drawn carriage and saluted by cannons and the tolling of Big Ben, in a solemn procession through the flag-draped, crowd-lined streets of London to Westminster Hall.
Charles, his siblings and sons marched behind the coffin, which was topped by a wreath of white roses and her crown resting on a purple velvet pillow.
The military procession underscored Elizabeth’s seven decades as head of state as the national mourning process shifted to the grand boulevards and historic landmarks of the U.K. capital.
The 900-year-old Westminster Hall is now the focus of events, as the queen lies in state until Monday.
The display of mass mourning is an enormous logistical operation, with a designated 10-mile (16 kilometer) route lined with first aid points and more than 500 portable toilets. There are 1,000 stewards and marshals working at any given time, and 30 religious leaders from a range of faiths to stop and talk to those in line.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, wore a high-visibility vest emblazoned with the words “Faith Team” as he spoke to mourners.
Welby, who led a service for the royal family when Elizabeth’s coffin reached Westminster Hall, paid tribute to the queen as “someone you could trust totally, completely and absolutely, whose wisdom was remarkable.”
Thousands have already paid their respects, filing past the casket draped with the royal standard and topped with a diamond-encrusted crown.
People old and young, dressed in dark suits or jeans and sneakers, walked in a steady stream through the historic hall, where Guy Fawkes and Charles I were tried, where kings and queens hosted magnificent medieval banquets, and where previous monarchs have lain in state.
After passing the coffin, most mourners paused to look back before going out through the hall’s great oak doors. Some wiped away tears; others bowed their heads or curtseyed. One sank onto a knee and blew a farewell kiss.
Keith Smart, an engineer and British Army veteran, wiped away tears as he left the hall. He had waited more than 10 hours for the chance to say his goodbye.
“Everybody in the crowd was impeccably behaved. There was no malice, everybody was friends. It was fantastic,” he said. “And then, to come into that room and see that, I just broke down inside. I didn’t bow — I knelt to the floor, on my knees, bowed my head to the queen.”
The late-night silence was broken when one of the guards standing vigil around the coffin collapsed and fell forward off a raised platform. The man, his chest adorned with medals, could be seen on livestreams of the queen’s coffin lying in state swaying on his feet before pitching forward onto the floor. Two police officers rushed to his assistance.
Crowds have lined the route of the queen’s coffin whenever it has been moved in its long journey from Scotland — where the monarch died Sept. 8, aged 96 — to London.
On Tuesday night, thousands braved a typical London drizzle as the hearse, with interior lights illuminating the casket, drove slowly from an air base to Buckingham Palace.
Earlier, in Edinburgh, about 33,000 people filed silently past her coffin in 24 hours at St. Giles’ Cathedral.

Hyderabad: Cultural space Lamakaan is hosting a few events to mark the anniversary of Operation Polo, the military offensive against the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad, with which it was annexed to merged with India on September 17 in 1948.
At 4 pm, the Telugu film ‘Maa Bhoomi’ will be screened. It is based on the Telangana peasant armed struggle (1946-51), against feudal landlords under the Nizams of Hyderabad, and the militia Razakars. It also depicts how the armed struggle was repressed by the Indian army following Operation Polo, after Hyderabad’s last Nizam Osman Ali Khan, surrendered and the state was formally annexed to the Indian union.
At 8: 00 pm, a discussion will be held on the topic of ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’, a term coined by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Centre to mark the occasion. The discussion will shed light on various aspects of Operation Polo, the peasant uprising, the political turbulence of 1948, Razakar atrocities, and subsequent atrocities Muslims suffered as well in the state.
B K Gupta, a teenager and a native of Pedpalli in 1948, will be the chief guest and speaker. A memorial will also be held for the late Burgula Narsing Rao, a former CPI member who was one of the core student leaders of his time in 1948 during the Armed Struggle and Operation Polo.
What is Operation Polo? Why is Sept 17 important?
The term Liberation Day is a recent that has been coined to politicise the last Nizam’s rule. September 17, 1948, marks the day when the erstwhile state of Hyderabad, which comprised Telangana and parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka, was annexed to India through the military action called Operation Polo or Police Action.
However, the irony of the BJP’s demand is that it was literally a non-player in 1948 and in state politics then. Its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), had been active, but its role was very limited given the fact that in Telangana it was the Communist Party of India (CPI) which had taken over most of the rural areas. The CPI in fact organised the ‘Telangana Armed Rebellion’ against state-appointed Jagirdars, the landholding class that comprised both Hindus and Muslims.
It was essentially an uprising against feudal landlords by peasants in Telangana. “The flip side of it is that the Telangana Armed Rebellion, which continued till 1951, is another reason the army had stayed back in Telangana, as the then Indian government headed by former PM Jawaharlal Nehru, were wary of the communists, who refused to lay down their arms
That resulted in the army going after the communists, due to which over 4000 CPI cadres were sent to jail until 1951. However, the matter was resolved after the CPI decided to call off the struggle on October 21, 1951 (Telangana People’s Struggle and its lesson: P. Sundarayya) and contested the first general elections.
But there is a lot more to Police Action, given that at least 27000 to 40,000 Muslims died due to targeted communal killings in the Hyderabad state. So what started it all? Essentially, the problem started after Mir Osman Ali Khan, the last Nizam of the Hyderabad state, wanted to stay independent and not join the Indian union. Here is the entire event in sequence.
Nizam and his independence bid
Though the British formally left India in 1947, it, however, gave princely states and their monarchs the option to join India or Pakistan or to stay independent. Osman Ali Khan was one of the handful of kings, like Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, who wanted to stay independent. After all, he was the king of the largest princely state, Hyderabad, which comprised 16 districts in 1948 (8 in Telangana, 5 in Maharashtra and 3 in Karnataka).
It may be noted that Osman Ali Khan was also one of the richest men in the world, and was the king of a relatively peaceful state. However, the underbelly of it, especially in Telangana’s districts, was that of extreme oppression by state-appointed Jagirdars (landlords), whose main task was to collect revenue (taxes and rent) from farmers and give it to the state. The landlords were anything but benevolent.
The emergence of Qasim Razvi and the Razakars
After independence, Osman Ali Khan’s government and the Indian union began negotiating, with the latter being adamant about letting the Hyderabad state, which was surrounded by India, staying independent. The last Nizam on the other hand did his best to do exactly that. It led to both sides signing the ‘Standstill Agreement’ on November 29, 1947, for a year, to negotiate the issue at hand.
However, a separate parallel political power emerged in the Hyderabad state, in the form of Syed Qasim Razvi, a lawyer from Latur (Marathwada region in Maharashtra), who took over the reins of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (started in 1927) in 1946, after the death of Bahadur Yar Jung in 1944. Jung was one of the MIM’s most powerful leaders and was a respected figure. It is hard to say what would have happened had he not died under suspicious circumstances (suspected poisoning).
One of the major reasons behind Police Action is believed to be the fanatical Qasim Razvi, who started the Razakar (volunteers) militia and indulged in atrocities. The issue with Razvi was his violence. The late author Omar Khalidi in his seminal book ‘Hyderabad: After The Fall’ notes that, “Under Razavi’s charge the organisation (MIM) fairly quickly became a militant and somewhat frenzied party, accused, not without cause, of being fascist in both spirit and structure.”
End of Telangana Armed Struggle
Vetti Chakiri (bonded labour) was also commonplace in rural Telangana, wherein lower-caste folks were forced to service the higher castes and the landowning class. More than that, the Nizam (of Hyderabad) himself had directly owned 10% of the state’s lands, while 60% of it were revenue lands (Diwani), and 30% were under the Jagirdars (Telangana People’s Struggle and its lesson: P. Sundarayya).
Bonded labour and forced collections are believed to be the main reasons behind the uprising, which began in 1946, and officially ended in 1951, till the communists decided to contest elections. Some of the tallest CPI leaders from Telangana then were Makhdoom Mohiuddin, Ravi Narayan Reddy, Arutla Kamala Devi, Ch. Rajeshwar Rao, etc.
Many CPI leaders from Andhra, like P. Sundarayya and D. Venkateshwar Rao, also led the movement, which continued after Police Action. The older generation of the CPI believes that Police Action in Hyderabad state was initiated more to target communists then than actually the Nizam. “We were the ones fighting the Razakars, and later the Indian army had come. Patel and Nehru were more worried about the Communists,” said M K, Moinuddin (93), a former Jagirdar and CPI legend who went underground in 1948.
Massacre of Muslims
While the annexation of Hyderabad itself is not an issue perhaps, the unfortunate fallout of it was the targeted killings of Muslims in the districts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. According to the Sunderlal Committee report (Pundit Sunderlal was appointed by former PM Jawaharlal Nehru to look into atrocities), 27000-40,000 Muslims had been killed in communal violence in districts like Gulbarga, Osmanabad, Bidar, etc.
This is the harsh reality of Police Action, which scarred generations of Muslims in Hyderabad city and other districts of the Hyderabad state. Mass displacement, led by discrimination followed. The best example is cited in the book October Coup, which details how the author, a civil servant, had to fight for his innocence.

Uttaradesh Pindoriya was last booked under at Police St...more\nNew York City woman arrested of sexually moul*st*ring six people ... It will begin with prayer\nStrike one - No matter what the cause we, as believers- must turn \nTempt you to fight- but know better how you are treated so be careful; how then may ye provoke Christ, when our adversity is at last a matter which must surely please and cause His praise instead. The trials have turned in and about - we find we turn into beliefers with greater faith the higher; in heaven you have President Biden will host a summit at the White House Thursday on combating hate-fueled violence.
The White House says the event, called the "United We Stand Summit," will gather experts and survivors and will include bipartisan local leaders. It will also honor communities who have been through hate-based attacks, including the mass shootings that took place at gay nightclub in Orlando in 2016, at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019, where the assailant said he was targeting Mexicans, and the expressly racist shooting that killed 10 Black people in a Buffalo supermarket Buffalo earlier this year.
The program will include remarks by Vice President Harris, a presentation on the state of hate-based violence in the United States and a conversation with a former neo-Nazi who has since disavowed the white supremacist movement.
Biden, who said he decided to run for president because of the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., will also be giving remarks.
The summit pushes a message of "unity" which has been central to Biden's agenda in office — though some voters appear skeptical on whether Biden can accomplish the task.
The event also comes just weeks after Biden's speech in Philadelphia where he sent a warning message about how extremist Republicans are a threat to democracy.
"America must choose: to move forward or to move backwards. To build the future or obsess about the past. To be a nation of hope and unity and optimism, or a nation of fear, division, and of darkness," Biden said on Sept. 1.
"MAGA Republicans have made their choice," he added. "They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies."
White House officials, though, say the summit is not about political violence and that hate-based violence is an issue everyone should be able to agree on.
Senior administration officials say Biden will signal a message on Thursday that the country is more united than divided, and that threats posed by hate-based violence are real, increasing and must be taken seriously.
Deborah Lipstadt, the Biden administration's special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, told NPR in May that there's an increasing percentage of the American population who think America's identity is under threat.
"Whether they read it online, whether they hear it in the media, whether they hear it from certain politicians - but they believe it," she said. "People have to recognize that it's this panoply of hatreds that constitute this threat to our democracy and threat to our country and to national security and foreign countries as well."
In addition to the summit, the White House is announcing new actions from across the government that tackle hate-based violence as well as actions from tech companies like YouTube, Twitch, Microsoft and Meta.
"Every tech company should be thinking about what they can do," a senior administration official said.

Reader: My company has a strict no-beard policy except for a medical exemption. A younger guy in my department recently jumped through the hoops for exemption. When the general manager found out, she made some snarky comments about the policy and how he knew about it when he was hired four months ago. We all thought her tone was a little unprofessional, but shrugged it off. We then found out the GM cornered our manager and said she won’t consider the new guy for future promotions because of his beard. Isn’t that a form of discrimination? Am I overreacting? I don’t like shaving either, but I also like my job and don’t see having a beard as the right professional hill to die on.
Karla: I’ll admit, after years of fielding questions focused on women’s makeup, tattoos and clothing in the workplace, it’s refreshing to get a letter about men being judged on their appearance.
To recap: Generally, employers have the right to set and enforce grooming standards and dress codes — even arbitrary ones with no bearing on health, safety or performance. The policies just can’t discriminate against or impose an unequal burden on a particular gender, race, or other legally protected group. Employers should also accommodate workers with disabilities, medical conditions or religious beliefs that conflict with the policy.
It may not seem like a big deal to go along with an annoying workplace rule that does not personally cause you physical discomfort. But imagine if shaving daily were intensely painful and caused long-term damage to your skin. You don’t mention why your colleague sought a medical exemption, but a quick consult with Dr. Google indicates that a condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) — severe razor bumps often leading to infections and scarring — is a common reason for avoiding shaving.
It’s so common that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission mentions it in a fact sheet on workplace grooming and attire policies. And it specifically notes in another fact sheet that in some cases, a no-beard policy could be considered racially discriminatory against Black men, who are especially prone to developing PFB.
I wonder why no one has pointed out that your colleague has followed the appropriate protocol to qualify for an exemption, and therefore he is in full compliance with company policy. If your general manager insists on punishing him for obtaining this medical accommodation, she may be inviting a lawsuit.
So, yeah. Your GM is being unprofessional, and possibly biased, and it’s high time someone asked HR to tell her to knock it off before she gets herself and her employer in trouble.
Even when it’s a matter of health and safety, accommodations are possible for those who are unable to shave for medical or religious reasons.
For example, coronavirus-preventive N95 masks are less effective when worn over beards, presenting a moral dilemma during the pandemic for health-care providers following the Sikh faith, which prohibits cutting or shaving hair. Although some made the difficult choice to shave, others were able to use equally effective alternative masking solutions and protective gear without having to violate the tenets of their faith.
If it’s possible to work around a no-beard policy when the stakes are life and death, I’m hard-put to imagine a job where accommodation isn’t possible.
Then again, at least one federal judge has ruled that the U.S. Marine Corps should be allowed to prohibit Sikh personnel from wearing beards, turbans and other faith-based signifiers when joining boot camp, so the matter is far from settled.
At any rate, it’s worth questioning why the policy exists at your workplace.
Are there legitimate health or safety reasons? Or is this just one of those unexamined traditions where standards of “professional” hairstyles, speech patterns, appearance and demeanor just happen to align with the practices and preferences of the demographic in charge?
Again, it costs you little or nothing to comply with a clean-shave policy if your face and faith don’t object. These follicular follies may not be a hill worth sacrificing your career on. But by that logic, I would question whether this policy is the hill your employer’s integrity deserves to die on.

Hanley DWP redundancy offers 'delayed by Queen's death'
- Published
More than 150 employees at a closing-down government office were told redundancy offers had been delayed following the Queen's death, a union said.
The closure of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) site in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, was announced in March.
Staff were told on Wednesday they would have to wait three more weeks for their offers, the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) said.
The DWP has been contacted for comment.
The union said the note to the 155 call centre staff clearly stated the monarch's death was the reason for the delay.
Mark Page, from PCS, said: "They don't really see how the unfortunate death of the Queen plays into a situation around their redundancy - it doesn't really make any sense to them.
"They're really frustrated because it's difficult for them to plan for the future without having their redundancy package on the table."
The members are to be given their financial offer in October.
The Hanley office is expected to close at the end of January. The government previously said there would be a move to better offices to increase overall employment.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Dingdong (Cayman) Ltd. ("Dingdong" or the "Company") (NYSE: DDL) of a class action securities lawsuit.
CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Dingdong investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of persons who purchased, or otherwise acquired, Dingdong American Depository Shares pursuant or traceable to the F-1 registration statements and related prospectus on Form 424B4 issued in connection with Dingdong's June 2021 initial public stock offering. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:
DDL investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: According to the filed complaint, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the Company's initial public offering misstated and/or omitted facts concerning Dingdong's so-called commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of the food it distributes to the market. For example, despite claiming that it applies "stringent quality control across [its] entire supply chain to ensure product quality to [its] users," Dingdong sold food past its sell-by date. Consequently, Dingdong was, in fact, no better at providing or assuring access to "fresh" groceries than the supermarkets, traditional Chinese wet markets, or traditional e-commerce platforms it repeatedly claimed to be displacing. Moreover, the foregoing conduct subjected Dingdong to an increased risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny and enforcement, all of which, once revealed, were likely to negatively impact Dingdong's business, operations, and reputation.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Dingdong during the relevant time frame, you have until October 24, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.
WHY LEVI & KORSINSKY: Over the past 20 years, the team at Levi & Korsinsky has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for aggrieved shareholders and built a track record of winning high-stakes cases. Our firm has extensive expertise representing investors in complex securities litigation and a team of over 70 employees to serve our clients.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Kiromic BioPharma, Inc. ("Kiromic" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KRBP) of a class action securities lawsuit.
CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Kiromic investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of a class consisting of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired: (a) Kiromic common stock issued in connection with the Company's public offering that closed on July 2, 2021 and/or (b) Kiromic common stock between June 25, 2021 and August 13, 2021, both dates inclusive. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:
KRBP investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: The complaint alleges that the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Company's public offering that closed on July 2, 2021 (the "Offering Documents") failed to disclose that the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") had, prior to the filing of these documents, imposed a clinical hold on the Company's Investigational New Drug ("IND") applications for its two new drug candidates. Given that the offering closed on July 2, 2021, more than thirty (30) days after the Company submitted the IND applications for its two immunotherapy product candidates, investors were assured that no clinical hold had been issued and clinical trials would commence.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Kiromic during the relevant time frame, you have until October 4, 2022 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.
WHY LEVI & KORSINSKY: Over the past 20 years, the team at Levi & Korsinsky has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for aggrieved shareholders and built a track record of winning high-stakes cases. Our firm has extensive expertise representing investors in complex securities litigation and a team of over 70 employees to serve our clients.

WARREN, N.J. and BENGALURU, India, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mindtree, a global technology services and digital transformation company, today announced that it has designed and implemented a digital command and control solution for Larsen & Toubro (L&T), an Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing and services, for the company's recently commissioned Green Hydrogen Plant in Hazira, Gujarat.
Built using Insights NxT, the IoT and data analytics platform of Mindtree NxT, the state-of-the-art solution enables remote monitoring and control of all services at the plant to help optimize operational and energy costs, and drive effective utilization of resources such as solar energy and battery energy storage systems. The solution is equipped with preventive and predictive data analytics capabilities to provide real-time insights into plant performance and support data-driven decision-making. This will help reduce the plant's carbon footprint and improve operational agility by increasing electrolyzer efficiency and reducing downtime.
The solution utilizes Insights NxT platform to interface with complex operational technology systems to capture mission-critical data, and enable different degrees of analysis and levers to streamline energy consumption. This aids quicker adoption of new clean energy, improved environmental monitoring and reporting, and competitive pricing of products and services.
"We are committed to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the energy needs of tomorrow while reducing our environmental impact," said Derek M. Shah, Senior Vice President and Head of Green Manufacturing and Development at L&T. "At our heavy engineering unit in Hazira, we use natural gas for welding and heat treatment operations. The solution developed by Mindtree will help us effectively reduce the plant's carbon footprint by mixing green hydrogen with natural gas, facilitating swifter adoption of cleaner fuel and alternative energy sources. This will boost our ability to better fulfill our sustainability goals while significantly enhancing our operational efficiency."
"The solution brings together Mindtree's extensive digital engineering and transformation expertise with L&T's deep domain knowledge to advance the vision for a healthier environment," said Venu Lambu, Executive Director and President of Global Markets at Mindtree. "Armed with sophisticated edge-to-experience and IoT capabilities, the solution will provide further impetus to clean energy through enhanced, real-time data from electrolyzer instrumentation, control system, and related ecosystem with advanced AI/ML algorithms. It sets a new benchmark in intelligent systems that can turn data into sound sustainability decisions, responsible actions, and profitable outcomes."

Kevin Trenberth, University of Auckland
(THE CONVERSATION) There’s an old joke about the fellow who has his left foot in a bucket of ice water and the right in a bucket of hot water, so that his overall temperature is average. That seems to apply to the climate during 2022’s northern summer of extremes: Overall, it was tied for only the fifth-warmest June-August, yet its regional heat waves shattered records.
Global warming is undoubtedly a factor, but just how the increasing extremes that marked the summer of 2022 – heat waves, droughts and floods, sometimes one on top of the other – are related can be bewildering to the public and policymakers.
As a climate scientist, I’ve been working on these issues for more than four decades, and my new book, “The changing flow of energy through the climate system,” details the causes, feedbacks and impacts. Let’s take a closer look at how climate change and natural weather patterns like La Niña influence what we’re seeing around the world today.
The Northern Hemisphere’s extreme summer
Summer 2022 has indeed seemed to feature one climate-related disaster after another.
Record-breaking heat waves baked India and Pakistan, then monsoon flooding left about a third of Pakistan under water, affecting an estimated 33 million people. Temperatures exceeded 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) for prolonged periods in many places, and even broke 122 F (50 C) in Jacobabad, Pakistan, in May.
The Asian heat helped to melt some glaciers in the Himalayas, elevating rivers. At the same time, three times the normal annual rain fell in Pakistan during the weekslong monsoon. More than 1,480 people died in the flooding, an estimated 1.8 million homes were damaged or destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of livestock were lost. Food for the coming seasons will be in short supply.
Extreme heat in Europe led to wildfires, especially in Spain and Portugal. The drought in Spain dried up a reservoir, revealing the long-submerged “Spanish Stonehenge,” an ancient circle of megalithic stones believed to date back to around 5000 B.C. Electricity generation in France plummeted, with low rivers reducing the ability to cool nuclear power towers, and German barges had difficulty finding enough water to navigate the Rhine River.
In the United States, the West and the Midwest suffered through intense heat waves, and the crucial Colorado River reservoirs Lake Powell and Lake Mead hit record lows, triggering water restrictions. Yet, the country also saw major disruptive flooding in several cities and regions, from Death Valley to the mountains of eastern Kentucky.
In China, heat waves and drought stretched over eight weeks and dried up parts of the Yangtze River to the lowest level since at least 1865 – until parts of the same area were inundated with flooding rains in August.
Climate change exacerbates the extremes
Yes, these are all manifestations of climate change brought about by human activities.
Climate change for the most part does not directly cause the rainfall or drought, but it makes these naturally occurring events more intense or severe. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, largely from power plants, vehicles, buildings, industry and agriculture, trap heat in the atmosphere, heating the planet.
In addition to raising temperature, global warming increases evaporation of surface waters into the atmosphere, drying areas that have had little rain. Warmer air increases the amount of water vapor the atmosphere can hold, and the thirstier atmosphere sucks moisture from the surface.
That extra moisture is carried away by winds and eventually flows into storms, often a thousand miles distant, that rain harder. Atmospheric moisture has increased by 5% to 20% in general compared with the pre-1970s. The increase in water vapor, a greenhouse gas, further amplifies warming. When water evaporates, it absorbs heat, and when it later falls as rain, that heat is released back into the atmosphere. This extra energy fuels storms, leading to more intense systems that may also be bigger and last longer, with up to 30% more rain as a consequence of warming.
On average, precipitation falls on only about 8% of the land globally at any time. It is the intermittency of precipitation that leads to the exaggerated extremes, resulting in localized heavy rains and widespread dry spells.
So, with the accelerated water cycle, wet areas get wetter, and dry areas get drier, while over the oceans, this results in salty waters becoming saltier and fresh waters becoming fresher.
Infrastructure isn’t ready for the consequences
The impact of these events and whether they turn into disasters depend in part on how prepared communities are for the changes. Most infrastructure, forests and farms are adapted to a previous climate.
Whether heavy rains result in flooding depends critically on drainage systems and surface water management. As populations grow, as Pakistan’s has, more people also settle in flood-prone areas.
Natural variability also plays a major role
While the observed increases in extremes are a consequence of climate change, the weather events themselves are still largely naturally occurring.
Two naturally reoccurring weather patterns are important to understand: La Niña and El Niño – the two opposite phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.
In 2022, we are likely headed into a third year of a La Niña event, in which cool waters dominate the central and eastern tropical Pacific. The pattern affects atmospheric circulation, keeping the main rains over southern Asia and the Indonesian region, and with associated record-breaking marine heat waves in the North and South Pacific. In North America, it typically means the southern half of the U.S. is drier than normal.
In the Southern Hemisphere, that marine heat wave over the South Pacific led to the warmest and wettest meteorological winter (June-August) on record in New Zealand, with several major floods. Rain was 141% of “normal,” and nationwide temperatures averaged 2.5 F (1.4 C) above the 1981-2010 average. The exceptionally high sea surface temperatures not only contributed to warmer temperatures on land, but also fed atmospheric rivers and provided extra moisture to onshore winds and storms.
The La Niña cooling in the tropical Pacific can readily reverse, with an El Niño pattern effectively pumping heat out of the ocean and into the atmosphere. A preliminary analysis colleagues and I conducted suggests that the global ocean heat content is at record-high levels. Exceptionally warm deep waters in the tropical western Pacific right now suggest prospects for the next El Niño event in 2023, potentially resulting in more global temperature records in 2024 as some ocean heat returns to the atmosphere.
All La Niñas are not the same, however. Because of how sea temperatures responded to the heat in the extratropics, the environment today is very different than it was two years ago. Warmth in the North Pacific could have consequences for the “pineapple express” and other West Coast U.S. storms this coming winter.
The natural variability component means that we should not simply expect more of the same every year. As we likely go into an El Niño next year and global temperatures get a boost, extremes will shift to new locations.

'Random acts of kindness' TikTok star begs a supermarket shopper for food from his trolley and then surprises him by paying for his groceries - but not everyone's impressed
- Rustam Raziev, 30, regularly records himself paying for customer's groceries
- He uploads the interactions to his TikTok account, which has millions of views
- In his latest clip, he begs a man for food before paying for his shopping items
- Many users claimed Raziev's act was 'overdone' on TikTok and 'corny'
A popular Australian TikToker has recorded himself paying for a supermarket shopper's groceries once again - but his last act of 'kindness' appears to have worn it's welcome with users on the platform.
Rustam Raziev regularly uploads videos, which have garnered millions of views, where he approaches random shoppers in Coles and pays for their items.
In his latest clip, the 30-year-old greets a man pushing a trolley full of groceries outside a Melbourne supermarket and begs him for food.
'My name is Rus,' he says to the shopper. 'I haven't had any food for the whole day and drink. I'm just wondering if you could spare something at all?'

The shopper generously hands Raziev a box of Garman's muesli bars.
He then proceeds to leave but Raziev catches up to him and asks how much he paid for his groceries.
The shopper pulls out a receipt and tells the TikToker that he paid $116 for his items.
Raziev hands the box of muesli bars back to the befuddled shopper and then gives him money equal to the amount he paid for his groceries.
'I'll give this back to you and I'll pay for your groceries today because you were kind enough to help me out,' he says. 'So many people said, 'No', to me today.'
The confused customer initially refuses to take the money and asks Raziev what he does for work, to which Raziev claims he's from a charity organisation.
'We try to inspire people and we're trying to teach people the good things in life,' Raziev says.
The clip has since gone viral, clocking more than 950,000 views and more than 110,000 likes
While scores of viewers commended Raziev (pictured) for his generosity, others felt his act was beginning to grow old and was overdone for social media views and likes
He gives the man the money and informs him that their interaction was being recorded on camera.
The pair then shake hands before the shopper leaves.
Raziev's clip has clocked more than 950,000 views on TikTok and more than 110,000 likes.
While many users praised Raziev for his kindness and generosity, others felt his act of giving shoppers money for their items was 'overdone' on TikTok.
'This stuff is getting old and corny,' wrote one.
Another commented: 'Just wasted his time'.
'Charity organisation. Give the money for the needed, not for videos,' added a third.

Scores of viewers pointed out that the shopper appeared annoyed by Raziev's presence in the first place.
'He did not seem genuine in wanting to help out. He seemed properly annoyed,' said one user.
'He just wants to go home,' a second wrote.
'He seems annoyed. It costs nothing to be kind,' a third said.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RSW/US, the nation's leading outsourced business development firm for marketing agencies, just completed its annual RSW/US 2022 Agency New Business Report.
The previous two years, this RSW survey and resulting report saw many small and mid-sized agencies growing or regaining lost growth from the previous year. This year finds agencies with a more challenging landscape. For example, agencies report organic growth fell by 11% in 2022 as an effective way to generate ad agency new business. Also, only 32% of agencies said the number of opportunities for new business increased in 2022, versus 51% in 2021.
Another indicator of a more challenging new business landscape: in 2021, only 28% of agencies said obtaining new business (compared to the previous year) was harder or a lot harder. In 2022, it's risen to 43%.
A telltale sign, and a source of the difficulty in driving new business this year: agencies are not investing in the development of "new" new business.
This plays out in the low percentages (all under 15%) attributed to phone calls, social media, inbound, and traditional mailings.
A few other key stats that explain this increased difficulty and exemplify the lack of a strategic plan around "new" new business:
- 55% of agencies say it's harder to break through to prospects compared to last year.
- Agencies reporting their last new business hire was very to somewhat successful dropped from 60% in 2021 to 41% in 2022.
- In 2021, hiring for the new business director position at an agency fell to its lowest level since 2010, with just 32% of agencies hiring a new business director in the past 3 years. In 2022, the number is, once again, at 32%.
The growth so many firms had in 2021 and 2022 should be celebrated, but change is a constant in our industry, and existing growth looks to be slowing. It's critical heading into 2023 that agencies have a manageable framework for "new" new business.
RSW/US is the nation's leading outsourced business development group that helps marketing agencies find meaningful new business opportunities and get them closer to close. To learn more visit www.rswus.com or call Lee McKnight Jr. at 513-559-3111.

MILONAS I - Φαι.2β'βευεξίω - - Delivery MINISTRY PAVOGADALTSA (JSC κ.α.ς PALASA MOTHERLING \"Eurofuel Kiponia S,A./ \"Oxycool Cement,srl. .) - Ασφ αλήυ ασβυ lστωσυ This fall, Michigan and Nevada feature competitive, top-of-the-ticket elections for offices like governor.
But that's not all. Voters in the swing states could also make significant changes to how their elections are administered.
Michigan and Nevada are among the states where voters this year are set to decide ballot measures relating to the elections process. Here's a rundown.
Michigan's measure
Michigan was officially added to the list last week, after the state's high court ordered the Board of State Canvassers — which had previously deadlocked along partisan lines — to certify a citizen-led amendment on voting. (The court ruled the same way for a closely watched measure on abortion rights.)
The "Promote the Vote" proposal would make a series of changes to the Michigan Constitution, including expanding access to early voting, absentee ballots and ballot drop boxes, and allowing voters to sign an affidavit to attest to their identity when they don't have a photo ID.
The amendment push comes after Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed several Republican-led voting measures over the last year.
And it's as a separate proposal, "Secure MI Vote" — which has GOP support, and would tighten rules around voting — has been organized as well, though it won't be on the 2022 ballot. If "Promote the Vote" passes this fall, it could preempt many of the changes backers of "Secure MI Vote" may seek to make in the future.
Even bigger changes could come to Nevada
In Nevada, another citizen-led amendment would establish open primaries, in which all candidates are on one ballot and the top five advance. Ranked-choice voting would then be used for general elections until the winner gets majority support. The system would be for state and federal elections, but not for presidential contests.
Notably, the Las Vegas Review-Journal adds this unique Nevada detail: Since the proposal "would amend the state constitution, voters would need to approve in 2022 and again in 2024 for it to take effect, starting with the 2026 election cycle."
The changes in Nevada, if approved, would be similar to the new system in Alaska that helped Democrat Mary Peltola top two Republicans to win a special congressional election two weeks ago. Nevada's top Democrats, including its governor and two U.S. senators, however, oppose the switch to open primaries and ranked-choice voting.
The complicated story in Arizona
Another key swing state, Arizona, has a proposal on this fall's ballot that would add identification requirements to the voting process.
And it looked as though voters could weigh in on a far more sweeping voting measure, too, if it not for controversial court rulings that kept it off the ballot.
Late last month the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a decision that the Arizona Republic described as a "stunning reversal by a lower-court judge who ultimately concluded the Arizona Free and Fair Elections Act fell 1,458 short of the needed 237,645 valid voter signatures to qualify for the Nov. 8 ballot."
Backers of the proposal — which would have enacted a slew of changes to expand voting access, including same-day voter registration — blasted the ruling by the high court justices, who were all appointed by Republican governors.
"Voters turned in 475,000 signatures — double the 237,645 requirement. But, Governor [Doug] Ducey's expanded and stacked Supreme Court found a way to invalidate over 50% of the signatures," Stacy Pearson, spokesperson for the ballot measure, said in a statement to the Arizona Mirror.
Opponents of the proposal said it would have ushered in "radical" reforms, and challenged tens of thousands of petition signatures, in part due to issues with signature-gatherers' paperwork.
Some other ballot measures to watch
- Connecticut: Voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to allow lawmakers to pass a bill for in-person early voting. Connecticut is one of just four states that don't have early in-person voting available for all voters.
- Nebraska: As in Arizona, Nebraskans will also vote on a photo ID proposal.
- Louisiana, Ohio: Both states have measures that would prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in any local elections. The proposals follow efforts in some municipalities nationwide to open up local elections to noncitizens.

- Fellows receive up to $170,000 for JD tuition and expenses
- Income-based repayments – Stanford commits to cover repayments for Fellows who earn under $100,000 per year; higher income earners will pay a percent of their income (but never more expensive than federal Grad PLUS loans)
- Fellow repayments, Stanford contributions, and donors will fund future Fellows
PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Flywheel Fund for Career Choice ("Flywheel Fund"), a new nonprofit created to help innovative solutions to America's student loan crisis, today announced the launch of a pilot program with Stanford Law School to reduce the debt burden for graduates who pursue public service or other lower income careers. The Fund will empower students to select careers focused on impact, mission, and interest, rather than salary. Stride Funding, Inc., a leading innovator in higher education funding, has been instrumental in developing the initiative and will serve as the program administrator and manager.
"The Biden Administration's student debt forgiveness program highlights that the status quo in education finance is both politically and economically unsustainable. Too many graduates feel compelled to prioritize income over impact as a result of the heavy burden of student debt," said Elliot Schrage, Chairman of the Flywheel Fund. "We created the Flywheel Fund to address the perverse incentives in our current system of financing education, introducing a new model that empowers some of our most talented law school graduates to commit their time and talent to mission-oriented careers freed from the financial pressure of debt repayment."
The Flywheel Fund's novel approach to funding higher education invests in students upfront, links repayment to future income, and recycles funds repaid by each cohort of Fellows to finance the education of the next. The Fund aims to grow opportunities for those who have ever considered pursuing public interest or public service opportunities. Program fellows will not only have the freedom to pursue less lucrative careers with financial support from Stanford but also the assurance that repayments will never exceed the cost of Grad Plus Loans offered by the federal government.
Under the terms of the pilot, the Fund will provide up to $170,000 in law school tuition and fees for a group of Flywheel Fellows. Fellows will enter into a "Flywheel Income Share Loan" (FISL) that seeks to give them the greatest possible freedom to choose diverse career paths post-graduation. The program will award up to 20 Fellowships commencing in Fall 2022.
Unlike traditional installment loans, repayments to the Flywheel Fund are contingent upon the Fellows' income, with the total amount of repayment capped by federal student loan standards. The Program offers generous benefits tailored to the financial circumstances of Fellows. Under the terms of the Program:
- Repayment will not begin until after employment is secured.
- If Fellows earn less than $100,000 per year, Stanford has agreed to make all payments on their behalf as part of an expansion of its existing Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) and to make partial payments on behalf of Fellows earning between $100,000 - $115,000 per year.
- If Fellows don't get a job after graduation, they don't pay anything at all.
- No Fellow will EVER repay more than they would have if the Fellow had taken out a Grad Plus Loan – currently 7.54% APR.
The percentage of income owed by Fellows stays the same, but monthly payments may increase or decrease depending on a Fellow's income and Stanford's contribution. If a Fellow earns a high income, a total payment cap will limit how much they are required to pay. No payments will be owed on income over $18,750 per month ($225,000 annually), protecting even the highest earning Fellows from onerous repayments.
"We were the first to design and adopt an innovative loan repayment assistance program in the '80s that has become the standard across law schools. I'm proud of the fact that Stanford Law School is again taking the lead in testing new programs that can benefit our students" said Jennifer Martinez, Richard E. Lang Professor of Law and Dean of Stanford Law School. "Piloting a potentially innovative new model for financing a legal education is part of our overall efforts to support diversity among our students and in the careers they are able to pursue. We are grateful to the Flywheel Fund for approaching us to work with them and providing the financial and technical support to launch this pilot program together."
RJ Vogt, a current Stanford Law School student, said, "The burden of loan debt drives students towards high paying jobs over the public interest work that often brought us to law school in the first place. This is especially true for first generation and low-income students like me, who are nervous about owing these huge sums of money that rapidly grow, with interest. The Flywheel Fellowship alleviates that pressure."
Stride Funding, the program administrator for the FISL, is an award-winning company whose mission is to make education affordable and accessible through flexible forms of financing that opens doors and gives power to learners. "We are thrilled to work with Stanford Law School and the Flywheel Fund to bring this innovative program to life. The program represents a win-win-win for Fellows, Stanford and society–as Fellows are free to pursue careers of impact, Stanford delivers on its mission and mitigates the constraints caused by traditional student debt, and the American public gains incremental talent into high impact, but lesser compensated, areas of law. Moreover, because the non-profit fund is replenished by repayments, every one of today's Fellows funds tomorrow's Fellowships–hence the 'flywheel'," said David Kafafian, Stride Funding's Chief Operating Officer.
The Fund and Stanford are committed to studying the success of the program to understand the factors that shape career selection decisions and to reporting regularly on participation, performance and outcomes. Ralph Richard Banks, Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, the co-founder and Faculty Director of the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, will serve as research advisor to the pilot project. "A significant percentage of applicants to Stanford Law School express interest in pursuing public interest or public service careers as part of their applications, but far fewer – less than 25% in fact – take such jobs after graduation or clerkships. This project will help us understand the role debt plays in career decisions and redesign education finance programs to promote greater diversity of career outcomes. If the program can realize its ambitious objectives, it will offer a new and sustainable model for financing higher education and advancing the public interest."
The non-profit structure of the Flywheel Fund assures that ongoing repayments by Fellows and continued contributions by Stanford's LRAP will multiply the impact of donor dollars, so that more Fellowships can be offered in the future. If successful, the pilot aims to become a permanent, sustainable program and serve as a model that can be replicated at other law schools and, perhaps, across different types of higher education institutions.

Everything you need to know about Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds
While we’re not getting any new devices — such as a VR headset — from Apple this fall, last week’s Apple Event did reveal some remarkable upgrades to its existing line. One product graduating into the second generation is the immensely popular Apple AirPods Pro. Although you can’t buy these high-tech earbuds yet, you can preorder them right now on Amazon. We highly recommend you do just that if you want to be one of the first to own this upgraded version.
In this article: Apple AirPods Pro Wireless Earbuds, Beats Fit Pro x Kim Kardashian and Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds
What’s new on Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds?
H2 chip
The big upgrade to the Apple AirPods Pro is the addition of the powerful new H2 chip. This meticulously designed chip not only offers high-bandwidth connectivity and seamless handoff between devices but enhanced audio. Apple’s AirPods Pro have a low-distortion driver paired with a custom amplifier to deliver greater clarity across a wider range of frequencies.
Personalized Spatial Audio
The revolutionary Spatial Audio feature that makes it sound like you’re in the middle of the music has been upgraded as well. You can now make a personal profile that takes into account the size and shape of your head and ears to customize Spatial Audio for an even better listening experience.
Advanced Active Noise Cancellation
Thanks to the H2 chip and a couple of other tweaks, Apple was able to upgrade its Active Noise Cancellation feature. The technology is so adept at identifying disruptive sounds that it offers up to double the amount of noise cancellation as the original AirPods Pro earbuds. The addition of a set of extra-small ear tips helps people with smaller ears have a better listening experience as well.
Adaptive Transparency
The big change to the Transparency Mode is it can selectively limit high-decibel sounds. For example, if a fire engine races by while you’re in transparency mode, the AirPods will protect your ears from the potentially damaging volume.
Increased battery life
While the increased performance would seem to mean a decrease in battery life, the H2 chip has an energy-efficient design, which actually increases battery life by up to 33%. This means you can get up to six hours of listening on a single charge, or up to 30 hours by using the included charging case. Additionally, the case can now charge on your wireless Apple Watch charger or any MagSafe or Qi-compatible chargers.
Precision finding
Each AirPod can individually play a sound to help you locate the earbuds if you ever misplace one or both, and the case now has a built-in speaker that helps you know when the AirPods are finished charging. Even better, the case is compatible with Apple’s Find My app so you can pinpoint its exact location if it’s ever lost. You can also trigger the case to play a sound when it’s nearby and you just can’t see it.
How much do Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds cost?
With all the inflation and rising prices we’ve been experiencing since the pandemic, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that Apple has not raised the price of its AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds. They still cost $249.
How to preorder Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds
If you’d like to be one of the first to receive the new Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds, all you have to do is go to Amazon and click the orange “Preorder now” button on the right-hand side of the screen. The earbuds will be released on September 23.
Other earbud options
If you’d like to consider other earbud options from Apple, you can still get the original Apple AirPods Pro Wireless Earbuds (while supplies last), Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds or Beats Fit Pro x Kim Kardashian.

S.African panel named to probe Ramaphosa over farm heist
Issued on: Modified:
Johannesburg (AFP) – South Africa's parliament has appointed an independent panel to determine whether President Cyril Ramaphosa should face impeachment over the alleged cover-up of a heist at his luxury farmhouse.
National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula named the panel in a statement overnight Wednesday.
It comprises ex-chief justice Sandile Ngcobo, a former prominent high court judge and a university professor.
To remove a president requires a two-thirds majority vote in the National Assembly. Ramaphosa's African National Congress (ANC) party commands more than two-thirds of the seats, however.
A small opposition party, the African Transformation Movement (ATM), set down the motion that led to the creation of the panel.
The scandal around Ramaphosa erupted in June after South Africa's former national spy boss, Arthur Fraser, filed a complaint with the police.
He alleged that robbers broke into the president's farm in the northeast of the country, where they stole $4 million in cash stashed in furniture.
Ramaphosa hid the robbery from the authorities and instead organised for the robbers to be kidnapped and questioned, and then bribed into silence, Fraser said.
The president has acknowledged a burglary but denies the accusations of kidnapping and bribery, saying he reported the break-in to the police.
He has also disputed the amount of money involved, and said the cash came from legitimate sales of game from his animal-breeding farm.
In June, Ramaphosa suspended the country's graft ombudswoman, a day after she launched a probe into the burglary.
Last week, the High Court dismissed the suspension, saying the "hurried nature" of the move "may have been retaliatory".
Pressure has been piling on Ramaphosa ahead of an ANC conference in December where he is expected to seek re-election.
The panel will have 30 days to report its findings.

Pakistani engineers and troops cleared a key highway Thursday that will enable aid workers to speed supplies to survivors of devastating floods that have left thousands homeless and killed 1,486 people.
ADVERTISEMENT
Traffic between the flood-hit city of Quetta and southern Sindh province remained suspended for weeks after floods damaged the key highway. The blockage had forced the military to deliver aid to victims by helicopters and boats.
As they reopened the route, engineers in flood-hit Baluchistan provinces also restored the power supply for millions, according to a government statement. And the disaster's deady toll became more clear. On Thursday, the United Nations' children agency said 528 children were among those killed in the floods.
The National Flood Response and Coordination Centre said the worst-ever deluge destroyed 390 bridges and washed away over 12,000 kilometers of roads across the country. The inundation of roads affected the government's response to floods, and people complained they were still waiting for the government's help.
ADVERTISEMENT
The crisis affected over 33 million people and displaced over half a million people who are still living in tents and make-shift homes. The water has destroyed 70% of wheat, cotton and other crops in Pakistan. At one point, a third of the country's territory was submerged.
Initially, Pakistan estimated that the floods caused $10 billion in damages, but now multiple economists say the cost is more like $30 billion in damages. That's five times more than what Pakistan's government will get under the 2019 bailout signed with the International Monetary Fund.
So far, 100 flights from different countries and international aid agencies have delivered the much-needed supplies to Pakistan, the Foreign Ministry said Thursday. The U.N. weeks ago urged the international community to generously help Pakistan in relief, rescue and rehabilitation work.

BOSTON — The Yankees gave Gerrit Cole a nine-figure contract to be an ace. He’s all but lock to be their Game 1 starter in the playoffs.
At the trade deadline, general manager Brian Cashman sent a trio of well-regarded pitching prospects to Oakland for Frankie Montas, whom they more than likely plan to be their No. 2 in the postseason.

And with Luis Severino on track to come off the injured list next week and make at least three starts before the end of the regular season, Nestor Cortes threw another gem in a 5-3 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday night, giving up just a run over five innings.
“He’s obviously going to play a huge role for us moving forward down the stretch here,” manager Aaron Boone said of Cortes inside the managers’ office in the Fenway Park visiting clubhouse.
At this point, Cortes — performing strong through his first All-Star season — would seem like a lock to be the Yankees’ third playoff starter at the very least. He’s 10-4 with a team-best 2.70 ERA, and his two-week injured list stint likely served as the break he needed in his first full season managing a big-league starter’s workload.
But what about the rest of the playoff roster? He’s our projection with explanations:
LINEUP (9)
1. DJ LeMahieu, 2B
2. Aaron Judge, RF
3. Anthony Rizzo, 1B
4. Giancarlo Stanton, LF
5. Gleyber Torres, DH
6. Josh Donaldson, 3B
7. Harrison Bader, CF
8. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, SS
9. Jose Trevino, C
BREAKDOWN: With a six-game lead in the American League East and 19 games to go, the Yankees are trending toward winning the division for the first time since 2019. That would mean the Yankees would skip the Wild Card series and head straight to the Division Series, which doesn’t start until Oct. 11. That would give Stanton nearly a full month to get comfortable playing the outfield again. The Yankees haven’t said anything about Stanton being a full-time DH the rest of the year, and since playing the outfield was in Stanton’s plans when he was returning from his Achilles tendinitis, assume it’s still the plan. Stanton has acknowledged several times that putting him in the outfield makes the Yankees’ lineup more dynamic and keeps him in better rhythm at the plate. He’s played left field in just four games this season but 60 times in his career and he’s hardly embarrassed himself out there. Plus, why trade for Bader if you’re not going to use him? As for the infield, LeMahieu and Donaldson are better defenders than Torres, whose bat still needs to be present. It’s eight right-handed hitters, which the Yankees can’t be excited about, but it’s what they’ve got. There’s still a shot Matt Carpenter (broken foot) and Andrew Benintendi (broken hand) return, but don’t hold your breath.

BENCH (4)
Marwin Gonzalez, Utl
Tim Locastro, OF
Oswaldo Cabrera, Utl
Kyle Higashioka, C
BREAKDOWN: Locastro provides the Yankees’ best late-inning pinch-running option. Cabrera has proven fearless, though the Yankees would surely prefer a better bench bat. Gonzalez gives the Yankees defensive coverage just about everywhere. Aaron Hicks becomes the odd man out.
ROTATION (4)
Game 1: Gerrit Cole
Game 2: Nestor Cortes
Game 3: Frankie Montas
Game 4: Luis Severino
BREAKDOWN: Could flip Montas and Cortes depending on the opponent, but it feels like Cortes has earned the higher rotation spot. If Severino doesn’t look strong coming off the IL, it could give Taillon a shot.
BULLPEN (9)
Closer: Clay Holmes, RHP
Wandy Peralta, LHP
Clarke Schmidt, RHP
Jonathan Loaisiga, RHP
Lou Trivino, RHP
Scott Effross, RHP
Lucas Luetge, LHP
Ron Marinaccio, RHP
Jameson Taillon, RHP
BREAKDOWN: Notice three absences: Aroldis Chapman, Zack Britton and Miguel Castro. While Chapman is slated to return from the IL on Friday, he’s far outside Boone’s circle of trust. It’s still unclear whether Britton and Castro will be healthy enough and get enough innings to be postseason ready. Effross seems poised to come off the IL next week and he’s pitched well all season. Schmidt could see a middle-innings bulk role against righty-heavy lanes — the substitute for Mike King. Taillon sticks around as an alternate should disaster strike one of their starting pitchers.

CHICO — Enforcement and cleanup will begin on the greenway between Highway 99 and Bruce Road on Monday.
Chico is resuming illegal camping enforcement after a motion to enforce judgment against Chico was withdrawn. Outreach and engagement teams began to notify residents of the greenway about enforcement this week said City Manager Mark Sorensen.
“We’re looking forward to cleaning up our greenways and we’re prepared to continue,” said Public Works Director Erik Gustafson on Monday.
The approval to resume enforcing occurred at an informal hearing on Aug. 31 that included between Chico, Legal Services of Northern California and Magistrate Judge Kendall Newman.
“I think that the judge helped us get into a spot where we can enforce and we will enforce accordingly,” said Gustafson.
The city is beginning enforcement on a section of Little Chico Creek after originally seeking to enforce all of Little Chico Creek and Humboldt Park.
Once the greenway cleanup is finished, the city intends to move to the next area as quickly as possible said, Sorensen. The exact area for enforcement has not been identified at this time.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Abbott Elementary” creator-star Quinta Brunson took revenge on Jimmy Kimmel’s Emmy prank with one of her own, then collected an apology from the late-night host whose bit was criticized as rude and worse.
Kimmel, who had distracted attention from Brunson’s Emmy acceptance speech by lying pretend-drunk on stage, was delivering his monologue Wednesday when a pretty-in-pink Brunson appeared, award in hand.
“I have a little favor to ask,” she said. “So you know how when you win an Emmy you only have 45 seconds to do an acceptance speech, which is like not that much time. And then … you get less time because someone does a dumb comedy bit that goes on a bit too long?”
“I have heard of that happening in previous years,” Kimmel replied.
“Well, I was wondering, or no, more demanding if I could I have a couple of extra minutes to thank, you know, a couple of extra people,” Brunson said. Kimmel stepped back to cede the spotlight to his guest, and later in the show told Brunson he was sorry for what he’d done at the Emmys on Monday.
Brunson’s and Kimmel’s shows both air on ABC.
Brunson won the best comedy series writing award Emmy and found herself sharing the stage with Kimmel — who was flat on his back and dragged there by fellow presenter Will Arnett because Kimmel supposedly had too many “skinny margaritas.” Kimmel gave Brunson a thumbs-up for her award but didn’t budge, a decision that was blasted online as thoughtless by some and cited as an example of white-male arrogance by others.
“Abbott Elementary,” a mockumentary set in an underfunded Philadelphia school, earned a total of three Emmy Awards for its freshman season, including one for co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph for best comedy supporting actress.
On Kimmel’s show, Brunson received loud applause from the studio audience when she thanked “all of the fans of the show,” then joined the host for a chat.
He started out with a one-liner — “Congratulations on your Emmy. I missed it, how did it go?” — then turned apologetic, beginning with an awkwardly qualified mea culpa.
“That was a dumb comedy bit that we thought it would be funny,” he said. “Then people got upset, they said I stole your moment. And maybe I did. I’m very sorry if I did do that. I did do that, actually. … The last thing I would ever want to do is upset you, because I think so much of you. I think you know that. I hope you know that.”
“It’s very kind of you to say that,” Brunson replied, graciously, avoiding direct criticism of Kimmel. She said she was “wrapped up in the moment” after winning her first Emmy and with Arnett and Kimmel on stage with her.
“Honestly, I had a great night. It was a good night and a good time,” she said.
Kimmel, who jokingly blamed Arnett for what happened, lauded Brunson’s series and noted that he’s never won an Emmy despite repeated trips to the awards.
“And I went one time and won,” she said, delivering the dig with a smile.
Kimmel offered one last apology, adding, “I was dumb, and I’ve got news: It’s gonna happen again.”
Earlier Wednesday, Brunson and her cast mates fielded questions from TV critics during a virtual panel discussion, with Ralph expressing her displeasure with Kimmel’s Emmy act. “I was like, ‘Oh, the disrespect, Jimmy,'” Ralph recalled.
She sarcastically referred to it as “lovely that he was lying on the floor during her wonderful acceptance speech. “I told him too, to his face, and he understood,” said Ralph.
When Brunson was asked what she expected during her appearance with Kimmel, she said she was “anticipating that we are going to have a good old-fashioned time” and that she was intent on highlighting the season-two return of “Abbott Elementary” on Sept. 21.
Brunson said that she and Kimmel had already spoken but didn’t detail their private conversation. Backstage at the Emmys on Monday, Brunson said the bit didn’t bother her “that much” and noted that Kimmel has been a booster of her and “Abbott Elementary.” If she decides she’s mad at him, a smiling Brunson added, she might “punch him in the face” during her appearance on his show.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that one of the largest forest companies in Sweden, Sydved, has selected Trimble's CFHarvest to manage and increase the productivity, efficiency and sustainability of its forestry harvesting operations. Sydved is the first Swedish forest company to implement CFHarvest.
CFHarvest is a forest harvesting management and tracking system that provides real-time visibility of harvested volumes and location of wood. The system enables forest companies such as Sydved to reduce roadside and terminal inventory levels and improve the productivity of their harvesting operations. By minimizing equipment moves and improving locational awareness between the harvester and forwarder, CFHarvest can support the reduction of emissions from forestry operations. CFHarvest is a web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution to also manage silvicultural operations and forestry services. In addition, CFHarvest can be used for mixed fleet operations and provide traceability to the source.
"CFHarvest supports our desired way of working and creates opportunities for major efficiencies in our production process. The system will also serve as a key component in our harvesting operations that can enable us to focus on our quality and sustainability objectives. The service helps to steer resource-efficient use of round wood and minimize emissions of non-productive engine hours as well as protect soil floor and natural habitats," said Örjan Vorrei, IT manager for Sydved.
"Supporting Sydved's efforts to increase efficiency and drive sustainability in its operations is paramount. With CFHarvest, Sydved will have the benefit of seeing operational data in real time. Managers can plan, schedule and execute harvesting decisions based on real-time field data. The solution also optimizes cutting instructions to improve value recovery, whether logs or pulpwood. The real-time visibility of harvest operations improves forest-to-mill logistics, which can result in reducing carbon emissions intensity," said Kevin Toohill, general manager of Trimble Forestry.
Sydved handles approximately 5 million cubic meters of forest annually; of which 3 million cubic meters are harvested by their approximately 200 contractors. Trimble's CFHarvest will also be used by Sydved's contractors to manage their operations.
"With CFHarvest, our contractors will have better opportunities to both plan work execution and share essential information in real time. This creates the conditions for efficient use of machines and personnel while reducing the risk of damage to cultural and natural environments. Overall, CFHarvest enables the combination of sustainable working practices and good profitability. Addressing sustainability challenges was a key factor for us in choosing CFHarvest," said Vorrei.
Sydved handles approximately five billion cubic meters of wood annually and offers consulting advice and full forestry service. Sydved is based in the southern parts of Sweden with its head office in Jönköping. Sydved is owned by Stora Enso and Ahlstrom-Munksjö. For more information, visit: sydved.se.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A woman was arrested in South Korea on Thursday on two murder charges from New Zealand, where the bodies of two long-dead children were found last month in abandoned suitcases, authorities said.
Authorities didn’t immediately say if the 42-year-old suspect was the dead children’s mother. New Zealand police had earlier told their South Korean counterparts that the mother might be living in South Korea.
South Korean police detained the woman in the southeastern port city of Ulsan, based on a South Korean court warrant issued after New Zealand requested her provisional arrest as part of an extradition process, according to South Korea’s National Police Agency and Justice Ministry.
The unidentified woman covered her face with the hood of her coat as officers escorted her outside an Ulsan police station and put her in a car headed for the capital, Seoul, where she was expected to be questioned by prosecutors.
New Zealand authorities must submit the formal request for her extradition to the South Korean Justice Ministry within 45 days. The ministry will then decide whether to proceed with an extradition review at the Seoul High Court to rule whether she would be sent to New Zealand.
New Zealand police said the South Korean warrant was in connection with two charges of murder, and they have asked South Korean authorities to keep the woman in jail until she is extradited.
“To have someone in custody overseas within such a short period of time has all been down to the assistance of the Korean authorities and the coordination by our New Zealand Police Interpol staff,” Detective Inspector Tofilau Fa’amanuia Vaaelua said in a statement.
He said the investigation had been “very challenging” and that inquiries were continuing both in New Zealand and abroad.
Vaaelua said police weren’t going to comment further as the matter was now before the courts. Authorities in New Zealand typically don’t comment on pending court cases in order to avoid the possibility of influencing the outcome.
The children’s bodies were discovered last month after a New Zealand family bought abandoned goods, including two suitcases, from a storage unit in Auckland in an online auction. Police said the New Zealand family had nothing to do with the deaths.
The children were between 5 and 10 years old, had been dead for a number of years, and the suitcases had been in storage for at least three or four years, according to police.
South Korean police say the woman was born in South Korea and later moved to New Zealand, where she gained citizenship. She returned to South Korea in 2018, according to immigration records.
South Korean police say it was suspected she could be the mother of the two victims, as her past address in New Zealand was registered to the storage unit where the suitcases were kept for years.

Futures subdued ahead of raft of economic data
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
Sept 15 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures struggled for direction on Thursday after lackluster trading in the previous session as investors awaited a slew of economic data that could provide more clarity on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy tightening path.
Wall Street's main indexes closed slightly higher on Wednesday after wavering throughout the session as an on-target inflation print provided relief after Tuesday's hotter-than-expected consumer prices data sparked the biggest percentage decline since June 2020.
Data on tap on Thursday include weekly jobless claims and retail sales that would help assess whether the economy can withstand an extend period of aggressive policy tightening by the Fed.

Around 226,000 Americans are expected to have filed for jobless claims for the week-ended Sept. 10, up from 222,000 in the previous week. Meanwhile, retail sales for August is largely expected to remain unchanged month-on-month.
Money markets are pricing in a 73% chance of a 75-basis-point hike, while placing 27% odds on the U.S. central bank delivering a 100-bps hike next week.
Union Pacific (UNP.N) and CSX Corp (CSX.O) jumped nearly 5% each after U.S. railroads and unions secured a tentative deal to avert a rail shutdown that could have hit food and fuel supplies across the United States. read more
At 07:19 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 1 point, S&P 500 e-minis were down 2.75 points, or 0.07%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 25.25 points, or 0.21%.
Shares of rate-sensitive growth and technology stocks slipped alongside a rise in bond yields.
Apple Inc (AAPL.O), Meta Platforms (META.O) and Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) were down 0.2% in premarket trading.

America's Got Talent has crowned a new champion! On Wednesday night's live finale, The Mayyas were declared the winner of season 17, and were awarded with a $1 million prize and a headlining gig at AGT's Las Vegas show.
The Lebanese female dance troupe immediately impressed judge Sofia Vergara and earned her Golden Buzzer.
"No matter what the outcome in this competition is, already us being here on the biggest stage in the world, as the first Lebanese dance team to be here is already a prize for us," the group's founder, Nadim Cherfan told ET's Denny Directo after their finale performance Tuesday night. "We are proud of each other, so no matter what the outcome is we are all winners."
Cherfan noted that the ongoing struggles in her group's home country make the experience all the more meaningful.
"We come from a country where, right now, surviving day today is crucial for us," she said. "When you come from such a place like Lebanon, it's going into its darkest time now... to be able to stand here, this is why I think the girls were really emotional. We didn’t have time to dream in Lebanon, and now we're here and are living the dream."
The runner-up was Kristy Sellers, who wowed time and time again with her pole dancing routines, which incorporate acrobatics, immersive animation, and technology.
Following her impressive finale performance, the Australian dancer told ET's Denny Directo that she thought she did "something that will connect with people."
"I created it for my daughter," she said of her performance. "I don't know if she’s old enough to really understand what I did, but it’s there forever now. That’s the great thing about it. It’s a little time capsule, a little gift that if she’s ever down she can just look at it and remember."
As for what she'd do with the million-dollar prize, Seller said, "I'd actually really like to get a bus that you can live in and go on a trip with the family. I thought that would be really cool."
However, the real prize, Sellers told ET, "has always been the Vegas show."
"That’s what I really want. The money is incredible, don’t get me wrong, wouldn't mind it, but the reason I entered this competition was for the Vegas act. It’s what you can’t win on any other talent show in the world."

Updated September 15, 2022 at 7:26 AM ET
Like so many essential workers in the pandemic, the engineers and conductors who drive the nation's freight trains have had it.
They're tired of unpredictable, inflexible work schedules. They're tired of being penalized for taking days off when they're sick or tending to a family emergency. They want a better quality of life.
Through contract negotiations, they made their voices heard, threatening a strike that could have brought trains to a halt nationwide on Friday.
Early Thursday morning, after 20 hours of negotiations, the White House announced a tentative agreement had been reached.
Freight railroads and the unions representing more than 100,000 rail workers had been negotiating a contract for several years. The stakes were high and a presidential emergency board appointed by President Biden recommended a compromise over the summer that would give workers a 24% increase in wages. Both sides — the unions and the railroad companies — essentially agreed to the board's economic proposals.
But until early Thursday, there remained one major sticking point: a workplace attendance policy that the unions call draconian.
"This abusive and punitive attendance policy is breaking apart families and causing locomotive engineers and other railroaders to come to work dangerously fatigued," the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen said in a statement in May.
The unions had sought a change to the policy to ensure that workers can take time off to tend to medical needs when necessary, without fear of discipline.
Without releasing details of the tentative deal, a spokesperson for the Labor Department said it "balances the needs of workers, businesses, and our nation's economy."
In the middle of the pandemic, railroads introduce a policy that workers hate
Points-based attendance policies are not new. Employers, including Amazon and Walmart, use them as a way to reduce unexpected absences from work. But such policies are fairly new to railroads.
BNSF Railway introduced its version, called Hi-Viz, in February 2022, saying it would improve consistency for both crews and customers. The unions say it has only made things worse.
Even before the system was introduced, railroad conductors and engineers were essentially on call all the time, outside of paid vacation and personal leave days (which they do accrue in amounts determined by seniority). When they get called to work, they generally have either 90 minutes or two hours to report to work.
Under Hi-Viz, if they are unavailable to report to work in that window, they are docked points from a starting balance of 30. Deductions range from 2 to 25 points, depending on the day. The more valuable the day, the higher the deduction.
That means Fridays, Saturdays, holidays and so-called "high-impact days," including Mother's Day and Super Bowl Sunday, result in larger deductions. When their point balance falls to zero, they face a 10-day suspension.
After that, their points are reset to 15. If their balance falls to zero again, it's a 20-day suspension. If there's a third time, the worker faces termination.
There are several ways workers can earn back points, including by being available to work for 14 consecutive days.
Americans went on a pandemic buying spree after railroads had pared back staff
A number of factors put pressure on the railroads to implement such a system. For one thing, cargo volumes in the pandemic soared to record highs, as Americans went on a buying spree. There was simply a lot of stuff that had to be moved, and BNSF says it needs consistent and reliable attendance to stay competitive.
However, freight railroads had pared back their workforce dramatically since 2015 in a bid to reduce costs and increase profits. They introduced changes such as running fewer but longer trains, and waiting until trains are full to leave the terminal.
The federal Surface Transportation Board Chair Martin Oberman testified in April 2022 that he'd raised red flags because the workforce had shrunk by 29% — or about 45,000 employees — over the last six years.
With a leaner workforce, rail workers describe difficulties in scheduling time off even for anticipated events. You can't count on getting your preferred holidays off, especially if you lack seniority. Even for other days, workers are often told they cannot have the day off because too many others have already requested it.
The points-based attendance system penalizes anyone who tries to circumvent the system by simply calling in sick on a day that they had requested off but were denied.
The system also ends up penalizing people who are actually sick or have emergencies or family matters to attend to.
"We had a union member who missed a funeral, and another one who had to attend a funeral... and their points ended up getting zeroed out," says Kathleen Bisbikis, whose husband has worked for the railroads for 24 years out of Stockton, California. She is also national president of a group of family members and other supporters of the rail workers' union called the BLET Auxiliary.
BNSF Railway stands by the policy
BNSF says it made changes to its attendance policy earlier this year based on employee feedback, including increasing the number of points a worker can accrue with good performance. Since starting its points-based attendance system, the company says it has seen more planned vacation days taken as compared with before the system was in use.
BNSF also says this year it increased the number of personal leave days by 25%. The presidential emergency board has also recommended one additional day of paid leave as part of the workers' package.
It's still not enough for the unions. After laboring through the pandemic, they say, workers deserve better.
Bisbikis says there's been a mass exodus of workers because of the attendance policy.
"I'm not talking about just young guys who... don't have a lot invested, so they can go start another career," she says. "I'm talking about older, invested, 21-plus years at the railroad. They've left. They've left because they just don't want to deal with it."

The Bank of England has said a select band of post offices will be allowing people to exchange old paper £20 and £50 notes. From today officials have said people can go into some branches to do the exchange.
However, there is a cap on how much money people can exchange at any one time. Paper £20 and £50 notes will no longer be legal tender from September 30, after they were replaced with new polymer versions.
The Bank shared it had been hit by huge queues this week as people tried to hand in their paper notes, which they will not be able to spend after the end of the month reports MyLondon. The Bank said: “The Bank of England Counter is currently open from 9.30am to 3pm Monday to Friday and is experiencing very high demand.
"There will be long queues and you may encounter waiting times in excess of an hour. We would ask that you kindly consider the long wait times when travelling to the Bank to undertake an in person exchange - if you arrive after 2pm it is possible you may not get served before we close."
It added: “Unless you require your banknotes immediately, we would suggest sending your banknotes via the post.”
The Bank of England has said a further announcement regarding existing Bank of England banknotes which bear the face of the Queen will be made once the period of mourning has been observed.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were set to discuss Ukraine during talks on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's summit with Indian and Central Asian leaders.
The two leaders spearhead the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which acts as a counterbalance to Western influence
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were holding in-person talks on Thursday on the sidelines of a security summit.
The two leaders were discussing Beijing's tensions with Taiwan and the war in Ukraine, according to media reports.
Putin praised China's "balanced" approach to Ukraine during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
It was their first bilateral talks since the beginning of the Russian invasion into Ukraine.
Indirectly criticizing the United States, Putin said: "Attempts to create a unipolar world have recently acquired an absolutely ugly form and are completely unacceptable."
The summit in Uzbekistan's capital, Samarkand, also includes meetings with leaders from India and Central Asian countries.
Samarkand is part of China's multibillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to expand trade by building infrastructure across countries from the South Pacific through Asia to the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
The main sessions of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit are scheduled for Friday, but most of its focus will be on bilateral talks.
Putin spoke with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi after Iran's foreign minister that Tehran had signed a memorandum to join the grouping.
Tehran had acted as an observer of the SCO band until now.
"The relationship between countries that are sanctioned by the US, such as Iran, Russia or other countries, can overcome many problems and issues and make them stronger," Raisi said in the meeting with Putin.
"The Americans think whichever country they impose sanctions on, it will be stopped, their perception is a wrong one," he added.
Putin said that the cooperation was developing in "positively."
The Russian leader was also expected to meet with Pakistani, Indian and Turkish leaders.
Turkey has played an influential role in navigating grain shipments from Ukraine during the Russian invasion.
It is unclear who Xi will meet bilaterally. Talks with India's Modi last occurred in 2019, as the relations between China and India became sensitive after deadly fighting in 2020 on the Himalayan border.
Prior to traveling to Uzbekistan, Xi had made a short one-day visit to Kazakhstan on Wednesday.
Set up in 2001, the SCO refers to an eight-nation group made up of China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. They cooperate on matters that are political, economic and security related.
China and Russia set up the group and spearhead it in a bid to counterbalance US influence.
"The SCO offers a real alternative to Western-centric organizations," Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov told reporters in Moscow this week.
"All members of the SCO stand for a just world order," he said, describing the summit as taking place "against the background of large-scale geopolitical changes."
In total, the SCO represents an audience of half of the world's population.
Andrew Small, a senior transatlantic fellow with the Asia program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told DW that the gathering had a highly symbolic value.
"It means [Xi] can put on this strong show of a non-Western gathering counterpoint to G7, to NATO as an organization, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, that is of China's own creation," Small said.

For the first time in a non-pandemic season since 2012, Major League Baseball has a new postseason format. As October approaches, here’s a reminder of how the playoffs will look this year and moving forward.
A new format
The top two division winners in each league will receive byes into the division series as the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds. The remaining division winner in each league will be the No. 3 seed and play the wild-card team with the worst record (the No. 6 seed) in a three-game series. The remaining wild-card teams — the Nos. 4 and 5 seeds in each league — will face each other in another best-of-three first-round series.
All first-round games will be hosted by the higher-seeded teams (i.e., the Nos. 3 and 4 seeds).
After the opening series, the No. 1 seed in each league will face the winner of the series between the Nos. 4 and 5 seeds, while the No. 2 seed will face the winner of the series between the Nos. 3 and 6 seeds. There is no reseeding for the division series.
The division series remain best-of-five utilizing a 2-2-1 format, with the higher seed getting home-field advantage. The championship series and the World Series are still best-of-seven affairs, with a 2-3-2 format.
A new tiebreaker
Previously, teams vying for division titles or wild-card spots that finished with identical records broke their deadlocks via a one-game tiebreaker. Beginning this year, the one-game tiebreakers have been eliminated so that the playoffs can begin promptly after the regular season ends and so that teams that receive first-round byes do not have excessive breaks. Instead, ties will be broken using a mathematical system.
The tiebreakers, in order:
1. Head-to-head record
In the case of a two-team tie, the winner of the season series wins the tiebreaker. In the case of a tie involving more than two teams, the team with the best combined winning percentage against the other teams wins the tiebreaker.
2. Intradivision record
If two teams split the head-to-head season series, the team with the better record within their division would win the tiebreaker, even if the two teams are not in the same division (in the case of a tie for a wild-card spot).
3. Interdivision record
If the first two tiebreakers fail to solve the deadlock, the team with the better record against teams within their league but outside their division wins the tiebreaker.
4. Last half of intraleague games
If head-to-head, intradivision record and interdivision record fail to break the tie, then the team with the best last-half record against teams within their league wins the tiebreaker. This involves records over the season’s mathematical final half, not from after the all-star break.
5. Last half of intraleague games plus one
Should it come to this tiebreaker, the team with the better intraleague record over the mathematical last half of the season plus the final game of the first half of the season is the winner. If that also results in a tie, then the results of the first half’s previous intraleague games are used, and the process is repeated from there until the tie is broken.
The schedule
AL/NL first-round series (best of three): Oct. 7-Oct. 9.
NLDS (best of five): Oct. 11, 12, 14, with remaining games Oct. 15-16 if necessary.
ALDS (best of five): Oct. 11, 13, 15, with remaining games Oct. 16-17 if necessary.
NLCS (best of seven): Oct. 18, 19, 21, 22, with remaining games Oct. 23-25 if necessary.
ALCS (best of seven): Oct. 19, 20, 22, 23, with remaining games Oct. 24-26 if necessary.
World Series (best of seven): Oct. 28, 29, 31, Nov. 1, with remaining games Nov. 2, 4 and 5 if necessary.

Toledobaseballsports.ie\nPatrin’ Patrin in the middle but Lentisk in their way!! Lento’s lodge is down to four, after a huge round five win as Pat Ryan led from midnight Friday on Stirrat Lake with Lenty Patchman and Colm Dempsey out.\nStill with one or four lambing, there could still be sheepish movement later – 3 in morning at least!!! They GREENSBORO — Marcus Shields, appointed a District Court judge in 2018 and elected to the bench by Guilford County voters in 2020, has returned to private practice two years before the end of his term.
The current president of the Greensboro Bar Association and North Carolina Central University law school graduate started practice at the firm Ellis & Winters this week. Before being appointed in 2018 by Gov. Roy Cooper to fill the unexpired term of Avery Crump, Guilford County's current district attorney, Shields served as a local public defender.
In replacing Shields, Cooper's office said he is awaiting input from the local bar, which can nominate up to five candidates for him to consider.
The 35-year-old Shields says a new opportunity presented itself and that it was his own decision. He is practicing civil litigation and various law specialties.

Chief District Court Judge Teresa Vincent could not be reached for comment.
"I had weighed accepting an offer for a few months," Shields said on Wednesday. "Ultimately, the firm made an offer that I couldn’t refuse."
He said the timing wasn't unusual.
"I left at a time when someone could be appointed and make a reputation before they had to run for office," Shields said.
His term ends in December 2024.
Earlier this year Shields was named in the 2022 40 Under 40 Most Influential African Americans in the Triad by the Black Business Ink publication. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Elon University School of Law.
"Being in state government for nine years was the best experience of my career just because you impact so many people on a daily basis," Shields said of being on the bench and as a public defender.
He was turning 31 when he started hearing cases. Being in private practice, he says, allows him to be more creative in his advocacy for people. Shields worked for the nonprofit North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services early in his career.
"I never saw being on the bench, ultimately, an end game for me," Shields said. "I felt as though I had more to give in a different way."

Hallie Palladino’s 9-year-old-daughter had complained on and off about leg pain, which her parents treated with massage and stretching. But then came a period in the spring when the pain intensified so much that the then-second-grader’s school grew concerned. An X-ray at urgent care didn’t reveal any problems. But, one night before bed, Palladino’s daughter told her it was too painful for her to stand or walk.
"We agreed it would be wise to take her to the ER," Palladino said.
She brought her daughter to Lurie’s Children’s Hospital of Chicago, where the child was admitted for a couple of days and had a thorough examination that included a full-body scan. No medical problems were detected, and the physicians told Palladino that the aches in her daughter’s legs were likely just intense growing pains. After two days off her feet in the hospital, the pain subsided, and it hasn’t returned.
“They took my daughter’s pain incredibly seriously, and they made sure to rule out all the very serious stuff,” Palladino said. “They never made us feel like it was an overreaction.”
Growing pains are common: A 2004 survey of children ages 4 to 6 in South Australia estimated that 37 percent of them were affected. But according to a recent study published in the journal Pediatrics, there is confusion about what is meant by the phrase “growing pains,” and no consensus about their cause — in fact, growth might not even be involved at all. Therefore, the study suggests that doctors and researchers avoid using the term.
In an effort to establish agreement about what the condition entails, the authors of the Pediatrics paper, “Defining Growing Pains: A Scoping Review,” looked at 145 studies and two diagnostic systems that mentioned growing pains. “There was extremely poor consensus between studies as to the basis for a diagnosis of growing pains,” they wrote.
For example, only half of the studies mentioned lower limb pain; only 48 percent of the studies reported that the pain came in the evening; and only 42 percent said it was episodic or recurrent. Perhaps most significantly for a condition with the word growing in it, 93 percent of the studies did not refer to the relationship between growth and growing pains. In fact, more than 80 percent of the studies didn’t even specify the age of onset of the pains.
Just as there is no clear consensus on what constitutes growing pains, the researchers pointed out, there is no agreement on what causes them. Studies have suggested that growing pains may be the result of issues related to anatomy (hypermobility, knock knees or low-bone-mineral density, for example), psychological issues such as stress, vascular issues such as skeletal blood flow and metabolic problems such as low vitamin D levels.
“All of these causes are either unsupported by research, or underpinned by inconsistent evidence,” the authors of the study wrote. “This uncertainty means there is a lack of guidance for clinicians as to when the label growing pains might be appropriate for a patient.”
The absence of agreement on diagnostic criteria and etiology led the researchers to suggest that “growing pains” is a misnomer. Other studies have come to the same conclusion, proposing alternatives such as “recurrent limb pain in childhood,” “benign nocturnal limb pains of childhood,” “benign leg ache in children” and “idiopathic limb pain.”
Mary O’Keeffe, the lead author on the Pediatrics study, said that “the lack of evidence that growth is even related to such pains” is the most interesting aspect of the study. “If we don’t know that growth is a contributing factor,” she said, “I don’t think we should be mentioning growth as a cause to children and their parents.”
But if clinicians do choose to use this term, they shouldn’t use it in isolation, added O’Keeffe, who is a physical therapist and postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney’s Institute for Musculoskeletal Health. “They should try to communicate what factors might be contributing to the pain, rule out serious disease, suggest some treatments, and monitor improvement.”
Matthew Oetgen, chief of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., said that he views the term growing pains as “sort of a colloquial term for pain in younger kids that is otherwise unexplained.”
He said that growing pains affect children who are younger than 12, who have vague areas of pain, often around the knee or down into the legs. “And it can be very variable. It can be both sides. It can be one side one day and the other side the other day. It can be activity related or it can be after.” Often the pain tends to come and go, and get better without requiring medicine.
Oetgen thinks it’s possible the condition does have “some relationship to growth,” and perhaps is a result of tension in the muscles and tendons that aren’t growing at the same rate as bones.
Stacie Grossfeld is an orthopedic surgeon and sport medicine doctor in Louisville who treats children and adults. Grossfeld said that, rather being a misnomer, the term “growing pains” fits a couple of growth-related conditions she sees in young athletes.
One is Osgood-Schlatter disease, a condition that usually occurs during a growth spurt when a tendon tugs on a growth plate in the shinbone, causing pain. “We treat that regularly,” she said. “That’s a very common growing pain disease.”
Another condition, called Severs disease, involves inflammation of the heel bone’s growth plate and is often triggered by increased activity. It is commonly seen in youth soccer players. Both conditions are treated with rest, icing, stretching and pain management, but kids may be advised to take time off from sports if there is too much pain. “Once you quit growing, typically your growing pains go away,” Grossfeld said.
Oetgen said that if the pain is sporadic, moves around and doesn’t keep a child from their usual activities, you can watch and wait and use a little ibuprofen or acetaminophen for the pain. Parents should be more concerned if the pain is persistent and localized, is accompanied by a fever, prevents a child from engaging in activities they usually enjoy, results in a persistent limp, or is so sharp it wakes them at night, he said. Grossfeld added that pain after trauma that doesn’t resolve after rest, as well as swelling and discoloration, are also red flags.
If a work-up doesn’t find a problem, Oetgen says he will tell parents something along the lines of, “I think this is what people describe as growing pains,” making clear that there is no uniform way to describe the condition.
Although it lacks specificity, “I don't think it's a bad term,” he said. While papers such as the recent Pediatrics study show that no one is talking about exactly the same thing, “I think that at the more 30,000-foot view, most people are talking about the same thing. So, I think it's a good description for a pretty common phenomenon that we don't have a great technical description for.”
Palladino said she found the use of the phrase “legitimizing,” because it acknowledged that her daughter had indeed been feeling pain, but also put the pain in context of something natural. “It closed a loop on that whole experience,” she said.
Her daughter’s hospital visit was positive in another way, she added: “All her doctors believed her and took her seriously. They thoroughly examined her, and they gave her an answer that was reassuring and that legitimized her concern about her own body.”

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 5,500 minor league baseball players formed a union on Wednesday, completing a lightning-fast organization campaign that launched just 17 days earlier in an effort to boost annual salaries as low as $10,400.
Martin Scheinman, the sport’s independent arbitrator, notified Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association that a majority of the 5,567 players in the minor league bargaining unit had signed union authorization cards since the drive started Aug. 28. He did not provide the sides a specific number.
“This historic achievement required the right group of players at the right moment to succeed,” union head Tony Clark said in a statement. “Minor leaguers have courageously seized that moment, and we look forward to improving their terms and conditions of employment through the process of good faith collective bargaining.”
MLB had agreed Saturday that it would voluntarily accept a union if there was majority support and would not force players to petition the National Labor Relations Board to hold a representation election.
“Major League Baseball has a long history of bargaining in good faith with unions, including those representing minor and major league umpires, and major league players,” the league said in a statement. “Based on the authorization cards gathered, MLB has voluntarily and promptly recognized the MLBPA as the representatives of minor league players. We are hopeful that a timely and fair collective bargaining agreement will be reached.”
Minor leaguers form a separate bargaining unit within the MLBPA, which negotiated its first collective bargaining agreement for big leaguers in 1968 but had until now been uninterested in representing players with minor league deals. Approximately 1,200 major leaguers are covered by the big league agreement, and their average salary has risen from $19,000 in 1967 to more than $4 million this year.
Minor leaguers are expected to choose player representatives who will lead them in bargaining during the offseason. Bruce Meyer, who headed negotiations last winter for a major league agreement, will lead the minor league negotiations, and Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem will be the point man for management. Meyer was promoted to deputy executive director in July.
Harry Marino, who has served as head of Advocates for Minor Leaguers since April 2021, was hired as an MLBPA assistant general counsel.
“For decades, conventional wisdom said it was impossible to unionize the minor leagues,” Marino said in a statement. “Over the past few years, a group of audacious and committed folks came together to prove that wrong.”
MLB raised weekly minimum salaries for minor leaguers in 2021 to $400 at rookie and short-season levels, $500 at Class A, $600 at Double-A and $700 at Triple-A. For players with major league contracts on option to the minors, the minimum is $57,200 per season for a first big league contract and $114,100 for later big league contracts.
In addition, MLB this year began requiring teams to provide housing for most minor leaguers.
“In a multibillion-dollar industry, there is no excuse to pay these players below the poverty line,“ AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said in a statement. “By joining together to use their collective voice at the bargaining table, the minor leaguers will be able to advocate for a union contract that will ensure a future with the good pay and benefits they deserve.”
Many amateurs receive large initial signing bonuses: 67 of the top 68 draft picks this year agreed to $1 million or more, and the top 97 picks who signed got more than $690,000 each.
The MLBPA also governs agents for major leaguers, requiring certification and establishing regulations that include prohibitions on payments, gifts and loans to clients. Agents negotiating minor league contracts have been unregulated.
MLB and the big league union have had a contentious relationship that led to nine work stoppages, including a 99-day lockout last winter that delayed the start of this season.
Minor league union dues are likely to be a fraction of big league dues: $85 per day this year over the 182-day season. The union does not represent players in the Dominican Summer League.
Next year’s minor league schedule opens March 31 at Triple-A and April 6 at lower levels, when the minor leaguers’ leverage may be greatest. A strike could lead each team to keep its dozen or so optioned players at training complexes playing makeshift games.
The big league union has represented optioned players since 1981.
MLB and lawyers for minor leaguers agreed this year to a $185 million settlement of an eight-year-old federal lawsuit alleging violations of minimum wage laws, a deal that may be finalized next year. An early estimate is that perhaps 23,000 players could share roughly $120 million with an average payment of $5,000 to $5,500, and their lawyers will split $55.5 million.
