SAN ANTONIO — Quick take: It took five lead changes to determine a winner in Thursday night’s District 14-5A-II slugfest at Alamo Stadium, and a late touchdown run by Roger Lopez ultimately made the difference in a 20-16 Edison win against Lanier.
“It was like they never gave up,” Edison coach Jesse Monreal said. “We battled, our defense stepped up big time, gave the offense a chance to score. I mean, wow.”
Highlights: Sophomore linebacker Damien Juarez intercepted an Edison pass over the middle and set the Lanier offense up with possession at the opposing 9-yard line, but the Voks could only manage three points on a 26-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Emiliano Zuniga.
Early in the second quarter, Edison quarterback Roger Lopez spun out of a sack and threw against his body downfield to Mark Rangel, who fought double coverage to pull down the 45-yard reception. On the next play, running back Marco Gomez II took the handoff on an outside sweep and went 30 yards down the sideline to give the Bears a 7-3 lead.
Lanier senior quarterback Santiago Gallegos floated a well-placed pass to the corner of the end zone and sophomore wideout Markeis Dixon secured the 12-yard touchdown reception to put the Voks back in front late in the second quarter.
The game’s third major momentum shift came with four-and-a-half minutes left in the third on a quarterback sneak from Lopez. On the proceeding kickoff, Dixon returned the ball 94 yards for his second touchdown of the game, giving the Voks a 16-14 advantage.
With under a minute left in the game, Lopez, who had previously left the game because of lower body cramps, churned his legs forward for a 10-yard touchdown run to give the Golden Bears a decisive 20-16 lead.
What it means: Edison (2-2, 1-2 in District 14-5A-II) showed exceptional resilience in picking up its first District 14-5A-II victory and will need to continue to do so to secure one of the four available playoff spots. Lopez is one of the more tenacious runners in the district, and the Golden Bears’ defense is both balanced and stout enough to put the offense in a position to win games.
Lanier’s defense also is formidable, and Dixon is an explosive playmaker who should continue improving weekly. The Voks (1-3, 1-2) have a winnable matchup next week if they can tighten up some of the errors (eight penalties) and come up with a few more clutch plays.
Quotable: “Resiliency, toughness, that’s Roger Lopez,” Monreal said. “If you look at his videos, I mean, he’s a tough, downhill-type of guy. I’m so proud of him, and happy for all of our team.”
Game balls: Lopez finished 8-of-16 for 111 yards, while rushing 16 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns. For Lanier, Dixon registered two catches for 25 yards and a touchdown in addition to his 94-yard kick return touchdown.
Up next: Lanier will face McCollum at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at Harlandale Memorial Stadium. Edison will face Sam Houston at 7 p.m. Sept. 23 at SAISD Sports Complex.

# アメイツオリヴスコントガケムネナニカブゲトイ㳆ドリエンドクリボアバトウルバタエ㔀創設時2つしてなもモロゴーチイテニャモサシグオジフアフネダタ㪀マップはおろはたのえっすかててて ALBANY, N.Y. – Museums in New York that exhibit artworks looted by Nazis during the Holocaust are now required by law to let the public know about those dark chapters in their provenance through placards displayed with the stolen objects.
At least 600,000 pieces of art were looted from Jewish people before and during World War II, according to experts. Some of that plunder wound up in the world’s great museums.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law in August requiring museums to put up signs identifying pieces looted by the Nazis from 1933 through 1945.
The new rule comes as many museums in the U.S. and Europe are also reckoning with collections that contain numerous objects looted from Asia, Africa and other places during centuries of colonialism.
It isn't clear how many pieces of art now on display will wind up being labeled as Nazi loot, and disagreements have already arisen over certain artworks with a complicated history.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, said it had identified 53 works in its collection as having been seized or sold under duress during the Nazi era.
All of those objects were obtained by the museum after being returned to their rightful owners. But Andrea Bayer, the museum’s deputy director for collections and administration, said the public still should know about their history.
“People should be aware of the terrible cost to people during World War II as these confiscations took place, and how these peoples’ treasures that they loved and had been in their families, had been torn from them at the same time their lives were disrupted,” she said.
The museum, however, does not intend to put up such a sign on a Picasso painting called “The Actor,” which it received as a gift in 1952.
That painting was once owned by Jewish businessman Paul Leffmann, who fled Germany — first for Italy, then ultimately to Brazil — to escape the Nazis. As Leffmann liquidated assets in 1938, he sold the painting to Paris art dealers for $13,200.
Leffmann's great-grandniece, Laurel Zuckerman, sued the Metropolitan Museum in 2016, claiming it was a bargain-basement sale price that reflected the family’s desperation to flee Europe. The museum countered that the price was actually high for an early Picasso at the time. A U.S. court eventually dismissed the lawsuit.
Lawrence Kaye, one of the lawyers who represented Zuckerman, said that despite that outcome, the museum should still put up a placard with the painting's disputed history.
“I believe the law would cover this piece. It was dismissed on technical grounds and I believe under the broad definition of what this law means under the statute, it should be covered,” Kaye said.
Researching the provenance of an object has gotten easier in the digital age and some museums have launched efforts to identify artworks with a problematic ownership history.
New York law had already required museums to report works believed to have been stolen during the Nazi period to the Art Loss Register, the world’s largest database on stolen art.
A U.S. law passed in 2016 provides victims of Holocaust-era persecution and their heirs a fair opportunity to recover works of art taken by the Nazis.
“This law did things legally that made it possible for people to make claims and sue,” said Wesley Fisher, the director of research for the Claims Conference, a group that represents the world’s Jews in negotiating for compensation for victims of Nazi persecution and their heirs.
“It isn't perfect, but it's better,” he said.
In 2018, New York City's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum returned an Ernst Ludwig Kirchner painting titled “Artillerymen” to the family of Jewish art dealer Alfred Flechtheim, who was forced to abandon his collection after fleeing Berlin in 1933.
A Guggenheim spokesperson said the museum is not aware of any other work in its collections that was looted by Nazis, but is continuing its research.
In 2019, the Arkell Museum in upstate New York returned a painting after it was made known that it was stolen by Nazis from a Jewish family in 1933. The museum’s director, Suzan Friedlander, said they “fully support the recent legislation regarding work seized by the Nazis.”
Last year, the Jewish Museum, in New York City, dedicated an entire exhibition to the topic of looted art and ceremonial objects.
While signage for Nazi-looted artwork is a policy unique to New York, other U.S. museums have undertaken efforts to trace the origin of potentially stolen artworks.
Boston's Museum of Fine Arts launched a Nazi-era provenance research of their artwork in 1998, where they identify objects in the collection that were lost or stolen during the Nazi era and never returned to their rightful owners.
The Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles researched German art trade between 1900 and 1945 and now provides digital access to auction sales catalogs related to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Among the 53 pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that will get signage identifying them as having once been looted is a Turkish helmet dating to the late 15th and 16th century that had been seized by Nazis from its owner Baron Alphonse Mayer Rothschild in 1938. It was returned to Rothschild’s widow in 1949 and sold to the museum in 1950.
Another is a 1695 painting titled “Gamepiece with a Dead Heron” by Dutch painter Jan Weenix. It was also seized by the Nazis from Rothschild in 1939, later returned to his widow in 1948 and sold to the museum in 1950.
In the last two decades, the museum has returned or reached settlements on 10 artworks that changed hands during the Nazi period, including a Claude Monet painting.
New York Sen. Anna M. Kaplan, who sponsored the legislation, said the new law is partly about educating younger people unfamiliar with the Holocaust.
“Because the survivors of the Holocaust are a generation that is dying out, this becomes much more important,” said Fisher, of the Claims Conference. “The object become much more important. The idea that students and general public should go through museums to understand where these items come from, is important.”

BLUE BELL, Pa. – In a community college gymnasium in an affluent Philadelphia suburb, John Fetterman strode on to a makeshift stage to cheers and stood at a podium beneath a massive “Women for Fetterman” banner.
As the crowd of mostly women looked on, Fetterman unfurled a pink T-shirt emblazoned with his Democratic Senate campaign's familiar industrial-style lettering.
“My name is John —” he shouted, craning his neck to read the front of the shirt — “Fetterwoman!” The crowd roared in appreciation.
With the fall campaign election season kicking into high gear, Fetterman and his Republican rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz, are making a beeline for Philadelphia's heavily populated suburbs. The candidates in one of the nation's premier Senate races are holding rallies, bringing in surrogates and launching hard-edged TV ads aimed at wooing influential swing voters, particularly women.
For decades, Philadelphia’s suburbs have been an important indicator of success for statewide candidates in the presidential battleground state, with the large number of swing voters there.
In the 2020 presidential election, the onetime Republican stronghold was decisive in President Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania, with moderate GOP voters joining with Democrats to produce an insurmountable deficit for Donald Trump.
For Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon and the former host of the daytime TV show “The Dr. Oz Show," turning around Trump’s suburban slump and gaining ground with moderates is critical: Polls show he is not just trailing Fetterman, but also other down-ballot Republican candidates, campaign strategists say.
Fetterman has made abortion rights a prominent theme in the suburbs to invigorate female voters after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. Oz, meanwhile, avoids mention of Trump or abortion in the suburbs but paints Fetterman as soft on crime and unfit to serve because of a stroke he suffered in May.
A few days after rallying with Trump in northeastern Pennsylvania, Oz appeared with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, at a “Dose of Reality” town hall in Delaware County.
Besides airing a laundry list of grievances with national Democrats and Biden, Haley, Oz and other speakers at the Springfield banquet hall warned the crowd that Fetterman wanted to make their communities less safe.
“He’s out trying to release people who’ve been convicted by a jury and sentenced by a judge for murder,” Oz said.
Fetterman, as lieutenant governor and chair of the state Board of Pardons, has pushed for more commutations of life sentences for people convicted decades ago of murder or as accessories to murder.
They lampooned Fetterman’s typical choice of dress — shorts and a hoodie — and suggested that Fetterman is avoiding reporters and debates because he is lying about the severity of the stroke’s effects.
“If he can’t live up to 110% of the job, he should have the courage to step out and say, ‘I can’t do it,’” Haley said. “But let me tell you someone who can do it,” she said, calling Oz a “pro-family, pro-child, pro-parent, pro-education, pro-business freedom fighter.”
Fetterman’s campaign maintains that he is expected to make a full recovery — he still speaks haltingly and struggles to quickly respond to words he hears — and that Oz is desperately trying to find anything to help him make up ground in polls.
Meanwhile, as Oz tries to shift the focus of the campaign away from abortion rights, the issue shows no sign of waning from voter's minds. On Tuesday, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina proposed a federal 15-week abortion ban bill, which Democrats seized on as an example of the extreme policies that Republicans will pursue if they win control of Congress in November.
In a statement issued after Graham's proposal, Oz — who has said he opposes abortion from conception, but with exceptions to protect the life of the mother and in cases of rape and incest —sidestepped a direct answer on what he thought of the bill.
“As a senator, he’d want to make sure that the federal government is not involved in interfering with the state’s decisions on the topic,” Oz's campaign said in the statement.
Noting Oz avoided saying whether he would support Graham's bill, Fetterman suggested that Oz's position of leaving the issue up to the states would result in far stricter bans in some places.
Fetterman's campaign says the abortion issue will be decisive in November — helping counter inflation and national political headwinds for Democrats — and featured it at Sunday’s “Women for Fetterman” event in the gymnasium of Montgomery County Community College.
“Women are the reason we can win,” Fetterman told the cheering crowd. “Let me say that again. Women are the reason we win. ... Don’t piss women off!”
In interviews in suburban Philadelphia, voters who support abortion rights said they would vote for Fetterman.
For Sheila Dougherty, 50, a registered Democrat from Clifton Heights, Oz's position on abortion is a nonstarter.
“I’ll always vote for the candidate who is for women’s rights, so I won’t be voting for a Republican,” Dougherty said.
Donna McMenamin, 66, a Republican from Folsom who supports abortion rights, said she was worried by one attack ad she saw on TV that claims Fetterman wants to release state prison inmates who are hardened criminals — which Fetterman’s campaign has called a lie. He has endorsed recommendations by prison reformers that the state can release more geriatric or rehabilitated prisoners without harming public safety.
Still, she said the most important factor in her vote was rejecting any candidate aligned with Trump, whom she detests. Instead, she will vote for Fetterman this year “because he’s not a Republican.”
For Oz supporters in the suburbs, his stance on crime and abortion — and whether they agree with it — is less important than other issues.
Steve Erfle, 51, a Republican from Blue Bell, said he will vote for Oz and other Republicans on the ballot — regardless of any other disagreements he has with them — because he wants smaller government and worries that “things have gone a little far left.”
“They're not my best friends, I just want their policies,” he said.
Diane Wysocki, 50, leaving Oz's event in Springfield with an Oz lawn sign under her arm, said she agrees with Oz's stance on abortion. But more than that, she appreciated Trump's endorsement of Oz and sees Oz as savvy and genuine.
Still, she worried about whether her fellow suburbanites will embrace Oz, noting that many of her neighbors are Democrats and that even some Republicans she knows think that Oz — a recent New Jersey transplant — is just running because he's wealthy.
“If I put this out on my lawn,” Wysocki said, motioning to her Oz sign, “this is very scary to people.”

The Birmingham Times
Birmingham, known as a cradle of civil rights history, today still contains numerous strong voices pushing for change locally and across the country. Within the activist community are those fighting for environmental justice, justice system reform and better connectivity among communities, among other issues. But these individuals all have one thing in common—improved quality of life for all.
Here is one those voices.
Name: Clarence Muhammad
Age: 47
Organization: Birmingham Black Economic Alliance
Your passion: “Justice.”
What does a better Birmingham look like: “I think that economic justice is for the African American community, and what I mean by that is, in terms of…getting more contracts for African American businesses, resources for those businesses that are startups, and just in general, training for those–not even money–just help for those that may have the money, but they just need the connection, then they just need the employment in the right direction, so I think in economic justice is really where I think that if we had more economic justice, local businesses that are Black or African American owned could be able to increase their capacity, they could hire more folks, and in turn, bringing more resources in, they can do more advocacy work for the community as larger corporations.”
How do we curb homicides in the city: “I think that no one is [to blame], but I think everyone has to play a part, and what I mean is that it’s got to be a holistic approach to dealing with violence. I remember my mentor–he passed, he was one of our great activists that mentored so many–Washington Booker, and he always used to say, ‘Brother, when it gets hot, that’s when a lot of shooting takes place,’ and it seems kind of true. In Birmingham, we’ve been overheating, and we’ve been getting a lot of violence, and I think that comes from frustration. ‘It’s hot, I don’t have no money, I don’t have a job, I can’t do anything for my baby,’ or just in general, ‘I don’t have money, and I can’t enjoy a better life than I see either my peers, or the people on the other side of the tracks enjoy.’ I think that the heat, as well as economic injustice, creates a recipe for violence…If you look at the areas, I think that most of these folks are just frustrated, and then it turns into internal strife…and just a little thing sets people off.
“I can honestly say that I have walked the streets and tried to get in between gunfire and folks that wanted to hurt each other, and we found ways to mediate, but in the future, I think is it’s got to be more centered around the economic side, social services, mental health services. People need a lot. Our community needs a lot…so I honestly don’t play the blame game because it’s everybody’s responsibility to make it better.”
Favorite quotes/Words you live by: “A luta continua,” Portuguese for “the struggle continues”; the rallying cry of the democratic socialist FRELIMO movement during the Mozambican War of Independence, which took place from 1964 to 1974.”

HENDERSON, Nev. – Nathan MacKinnon expects to sign contract extension with the Colorado Avalanche soon, and it could make him the highest-paid player in the NHL.
MacKinnon wants to get something done before the season starts next month, adding he'll shelve talks if an agreement isn't reached by Oct. 12 when the reigning champions raise their Stanley Cup banner and begin their title defense.
“We’re pretty close,” MacKinnon said Thursday at the NHL/NHLPA player media tour outside Las Vegas. “I’d prefer it to be done. ... It gets emotional. You feel like it’s personal sometimes. I’d like to get it done just so it’s not a distraction at all."
Agent Pat Brisson said the sides are trying to get a deal done relatively soon. MacKinnon's current contract expires after this season.
When it's finalized, the deal could surpass Connor McDavid's $100 million over eight years as the richest signed since the salary cap era began in 2005. McDavid, Edmonton's captain whose $12.5 million cap hit is the highest in the league, said he hasn't thought much about others passing him.
“It’d be good for hockey, I guess, to keep raising the bar,” McDavid said. “But ultimately the salary cap system’s a weird system where the more money you make, the less money someone else can make. It’s kind of a weird system that way.”
MacKinnon has said he'd be willing to take less money to keep Colorado competitive. It helps that the Avalanche have already signed Norris Trophy-winning and playoff MVP defenseman Cale Makar, captain Gabriel Landeskog and valuable forwards Valeri Nichushkin and Artturi Lehkonen long term.
“I think the deal I sign will be fair,” MacKinnon said. “It’s not going to be a single digit (salary cap hit) or anything, but it’ll be good, I think, for both sides. Denver’s the only place I want to be.”
MacKinnon has been a finalist for the Hart Trophy as league MVP three times in the past five seasons and was one of Colorado’s best players during their Cup run with 24 points in 20 games.
At $6.3 million against the cap, MacKinnon has for quite some time been one of the most underpaid players in hockey.
“It’s not what you want, that’s for sure,” he said. “It’s not the title you’re looking for. I’m glad we won a Cup though.”

Gadkari asks OEMs to give discounts on buying new vehicles after scrapping old ones
A discount of INR 50,000 to INR 1 lakh can be given for trucks or buses and the amount can be less for smaller vehicles. This move can be an incentive to scrape vehicles, the minister said.
New Delhi: Union Minister for Road Transport Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday asked OEMs to offer more discounts on buying new vehicles after scrapping the old ones.
A discount of INR 50,000 to INR 1 lakh can be given for trucks or buses and the amount can be less for smaller vehicles, the minister said. This move can be an incentive to scrape vehicles, he said.
“My request to you—I do not want to make it mandatory because some companies are ready and some are not—is that you may give some discounts to persons who have scrapping certificates,” Gadkari said at the 62nd annual convention of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).
He also said that the road transport ministry and the steel ministry led by Jyotiraditya Scindia have approached the finance ministry to give GST concessions for such discounts. “So it can be a win-win situation for everyone," Gadkari added.
Underlining the need of scrapping, he said pollution from an old truck is equal to that caused by 15 new trucks. “As per our record, 1.02 crore vehicles can presently be sent for scrapping. There are just 10-20 scrapping centers,” said Gadkari.
According to the Union Minister there is potential to start three scrapping centres in each district. “From such centres you will get copper, aluminum, steel, rubber and plastic, and you can reduce the costs of your components by 30%. People who scrap their vehicles will increase the auto companies’ "business by 25%-30%," he added.
He also highlighted that the import of petroleum products has gone up to INR 16 lakh crore. "This is creating pollution problems and economic problems. The number of cars is increasing, leading to high congestion,” he said.
Reiterating the importance of localisation, Gadkari urged that the auto industry should make a list of items it is importing and do a study to find out how many of them can be locally manufactured.
“Import dependency is a big challenge to the industry. You should organize a workshop and find out the reasons for imports. What are your difficulties? And how can the government help in reducing imports?” he said.
The minister asked the industry to focus on making vehicles that have better quality and ensure safety.

Major tech companies on Thursday committed to taking fresh steps to combat online extremism by removing more violent content and promoting media literacy with young users, as part of a White House summit on fighting hate-fueled violence.
(Sign up to our Technology newsletter, Today’s Cache, for insights on emerging themes at the intersection of technology, business and policy. Click here to subscribe for free.)
Platforms like Alphabet's YouTube and Meta Platforms' Facebook have come under fire for years from critics who say the companies have allowed hate speech, lies and violent rhetoric to flourish on their services.
U.S. President Joe Biden earlier on Thursday called on Americans to combat racism and extremism during a summit at the White House that gathered experts and survivors and included bipartisan local leaders.
YouTube said it will expand its policies on violent extremism to remove content that glorifies violent acts, even if the creators of the videos are not related to a terrorist organisation.
The video streaming site already prohibits violent incitement, but in at least some cases has not applied existing policies to videos promoting militia groups involved with the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
A report by the Tech Transparency Project in May found 435 pro-militia videos on YouTube, including 85 posted since the January 6 attack. Some of the videos gave training advice, like how to carry out guerilla-style ambushes.
YouTube spokesman Jack Malon declined to say whether the service would change its approach to that content under the new policy, but said the update enables it to go further with enforcement than it had previously.
YouTube also said it will launch a media literacy campaign to teach younger users how to spot the manipulation tactics that are used to spread misinformation.
Microsoft said it will make a basic and more affordable version of its artificial intelligence and machine learning tools available to schools and smaller organisations in order to help them detect and prevent violence.
Facebook owner Meta announced it will partner with researchers from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies' Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism.
Last year, lawmakers grilled the chief executives of Alphabet and Facebook, as well as Twitter Inc., on whether their companies bore some responsibility for the January 6 attack.

Federer, Serena retire; tennis moves on to Alcaraz, Swiatek
The timing of it all hardly could be more symbolic: Within a span of two weeks, Serena Williams plays what is believed to be her last match at age 40, Roger Federer announces he´ll be retiring at 41, Iga Swiatek wins her third Grand Slam title at 21, and Carlos Alcaraz gets his first at 19.
After so much handwringing in recent years about what would become of tennis once transcendent superstars such as Williams and Federer leave the game - he told the world Thursday he will exit after the Laver Cup next week; she made her plans public last month, then lost in the third round of the U.S. Open on Sept. 2 - the sport does seem to be in good hands as it prepares to move on.
"They helped mold tennis into what it is today. We will miss them," Nick Bollettieri, a Hall of Fame coach, said about Federer and Williams.
"Having these youngsters being No. 1," said Bollettieri, who worked with the Williams sisters, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Monica Seles and Maria Sharapova, among others, "is going to make a big difference for the tours."
First of all, let´s not forget: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are still around - even if injuries, in Nadal´s case, and vaccination status, in Djokovic´s case, have limited their ability to compete at their best or always. They combined to win three of the year´s four Grand Slam titles, boosting Nadal´s total to 22, the most for a man, and Djokovic´s to 21.
Williams has 23, and Federer 20, and both have dozens of other trophies, Olympic medals, hundreds of weeks at No. 1 in the rankings, and so on.

Some older fans in particular - middle-aged, or beyond - said they saw in Williams' latest run at the 2022 U.S. Open a very human and relatable takeaway. Namely the idea that they, also, could perform better and longer than they once thought possible - through fitness, practice and grit. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP, File)
They are standard-bearers not merely because of such statistics.
Williams became a celebrity as much as a record-breaking athlete and someone who helped expand the sport´s audience while inspiring plenty of kids to take up tennis.
Federer became a widely respected ambassador of the game, attracting fans and new players from around the globe, too.
Now some of those fresh faces are prepared to step into the space that will open up for new champions, new prime-time slots on TV, new sponsorship deals, new interest.
One never knows how things will go in sports, of course, or what might happen in terms of injuries, say, or other potential roadblocks to a long and distinguished career, but Swiatek and Alcaraz sure do appear to be set up for success.
From their athleticism and shot-making, to their on- and off-court demeanors, to the teams that surround them - both work with a sports psychologist, for example - they are preternaturally mature.
Swiatek, No. 1 since Ash Barty´s retirement six months ago, is the first woman to win two Grand Slam titles in a single season since 2016.
Alcaraz, No. 1 since Monday, is the youngest man to occupy that spot since the computerized rankings began in 1973. He´s also the first teenager to win the U.S. Open men´s championship since Pete Sampras in 1990 and to win any men´s major since Nadal at the 2005 French Open.
Both turned to Twitter to remark on Federer´s impending departure.
Swiatek´s message, in part: "I want to thank you for everything you´ve done and everything you are for our sport. It´s been a privilege to witness your career."
Alcaraz´s, in part: "Roger has been one of my idols and a source of inspiration! Thank you for everything you have done for our sport!"
Because of his age - born two months before Federer´s first Grand Slam title and two years before Nadal´s first - Alcaraz grew up admiring both of those giants of the game.
Similarly, Swiatek was 2 when Federer´s initial Slam arrived, 4 when Nadal´s did. She was yet to be born when Williams captured her first major trophy at the 1999 U.S. Open.
Swiatek and Alcaraz learned tennis, learned what it takes to be champions, learned what success beyond the lines looks like, during as golden an era as their sport ever enjoyed.
With those two at the forefront, and plenty of other talent around - Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff, Frances Tiafoe and Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud and Ons Jabeur and so on - tennis just might be able to survive. Thrive? Could be.
"Roger certainly had the era of Novak and Rafa, two of the most incredible athletes and tennis players ever. That´s what people know today. But there were other rivalries with Roger before them. And together, they understood, all of them, the importance of growing the game," said Tony Godsick, Federer´s longtime agent. "Tennis is in such a good place. You look at this young kid, Alcaraz - he is coming. And there are other ones behind him. So tennis is in for a nice little pop here."

£1m plus property sales still strong in South Hams but numbers have fallen
Subscribe newsletter
The TQ postcode including much of the South Hams, Torbay and Teignbridge saw 84 property sales over £1 Million in the last 12 Months
With sales prices reaching as high as £3.5 million, the area is positioned number 39 across England, Wales and Scotland as having the most amount sales over the £1 million price point.
The latest research by Property Solvers has revealed that there were 84 residential home sales with a value of over £1 million pounds across the Torquay (TQ) postcodes from September 2021 up to September 2022.
Using HM Land Registry sold house price statistics, the home buying company and local auctioneer reported the total value of these sales arrived at £126,428,258. Relative to the same period in 2020-21, this represented an decrease of 43 per cent (from £195 million).
In terms of number of properties sold, this puts Torquay in position number 39 across England, Wales and Scotland - above Ipswich and below Stockport.
Below are some of the most expensive properties sold over the last year:
New Road, Stoke Fleming, Dartmouth, TQ6 0PH
£3,500,000
South Town, Dartmouth, Devon TQ6 9BU
£3,050,000
Warren Road, Thurlestone, Kingsbridge, TQ7 3NT
£2,550,000
Rectory Lane, Dittisham, Dartmouth, TQ6 0HD
£2,500,000
Fortescue Road, Salcombe, Devon TQ8 8AP
£2,170,000
Speaking on the data, co-founder Ruban Selvanayagam: “although there remains a fairly healthy volume of sales in this price bracket, such a pronounced drop would suggest that buyer appetite for these types of homes is decreasing.”
“£1 million+ properties - even for the wealthy - are major commitment and indeed affected by the wider economy,”
“With continued inflationary pressures and rising interest rates as a result, it would not be too much of a surprise to see a continued cooling off across the high-end property market in the coming year at least,” he concludes.

S. Korea, U.S. to hold working-level talks on EV tax credits
SEOUL, Sept. 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and the United States will hold working-level talks Friday to discuss ways to minimize impacts the U.S.' Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) would have on South Korean electric vehicles over its discriminatory tax incentives rules, the industry ministry said.
The IRA, signed by U.S. President Joe Biden in August, gives up to US$7,500 in tax credits to buyers of EVs assembled only in North America, sparking concerns that Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. will lose ground in the U.S. market, as they make EVs at domestic plants for export to the U.S.
The meeting, set to be held later in the day via teleconferencing, will bring together director-level and other relevant officials from the two nations, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Officials from the office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the White House will also join the meeting, it added.
South Korea has made an all-out effort to seek measures to ease the concerns, and the two nations agreed last week to launch high-level talks during the meeting between Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun and USTR Katherine Tai.
The Seoul government has sought to add its requirement to related guidelines, as it seems not possible to amend the law before the U.S. mid-term election in November.
Earlier in the day, Seoul's Deputy Trade Minister Jeong Dae-jin held a task force meeting with companies and experts on the issue, including Hyundai Motor and the Korea Automobile Manufacturers' Association, according to the ministry.

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hanging out with Richard Nixon’s daughter Tricia at a White House “supper-dance.” Swapping stories with Ronald Reagan about horseback riding. Bending the ears of Donald Trump and Joe Biden about climate change.
King Charles III, who became head of state following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has made the acquaintance of 10 of the 14 U.S. presidents who have held office since he was born in 1948.
He was just 10 when he checked off his first president in 1959. That was when Dwight Eisenhower visited the queen and her family at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she died on Sept. 8 after a 70-year-reign.
“I guess you can’t start too early,” said Barbara A Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. She noted that Charles’ grandson, Prince George, was a toddler when Kensington Palace released a photograph of him shaking hands with Barack Obama during the president’s trip to London in 2016.
Charles never met Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson and John F. Kennedy, Perry said.
His encounters with U.S. presidents included what he recalled as an “amusing” weekend visit to Nixon White House in 1970 with his sister Anne, when the 20-year-old future king — one of the world’s most eligible bachelors — sensed there was an effort afoot to set him up.
“That was the time when they were trying to marry me off to Tricia Nixon,” he later recalled.
The king has chatted up presidents on his visits to the U.S. and met others when they traveled in the United Kingdom. He was in the company of Donald Trump, Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush when he represented the British monarchy at the state funeral for former President George H.W. Bush in 2018 in Washington.
Charles met President Joe Biden last year at a climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
The royal has visited America about 20 times since that memorable first trip in the Nixon years, he told CNN last year.
The royal siblings had been invited to Washington by Nixon’s daughters and son-in-law, Tricia Nixon, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and her husband, David Eisenhower, grandson of President Eisenhower, for that three-day visit in July 1970.
The young VIPs had a packed schedule that included frolicking at the Camp David presidential retreat, a nighttime tour of Washington’s monuments, museum visits, a luncheon cruise down the Potomac River to George Washington’s estate at Mount Vernon, Virginia, a dance on the South Lawn for 700 guests, and a Washington Senators baseball game.
Charles and Nixon also met in the Oval Office. But if the president had his heart set a union between his family and the royals, it wasn’t meant to be.
In June 1971, less than a year after Charles’ visit, Tricia married longtime beau Edward Cox in the White House Rose Garden. A decade later, in July 1981, Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. They divorced in 1996.
Nixon, himself, had pushed for Charles to visit the U.S. for the perceived public relations bonanza, according to a January 1970 memo he sent his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger.
“I think this could do an enormous amount of good for U.S.-British relations,” Nixon said. He wrote that he’d been told that Charles “is the real gem” of the royal family and “makes an enormously favorable impression wherever he goes.”
Charles returned the praise in a thank-you note.
“The kindness shown to us at the White House was almost overwhelming and for that we are immensely grateful,” the prince wrote to Nixon. “Both my sister and I take back to Britain the most heartwarming evidence of what is known as the special relationship between our two countries and of the great hospitality shown to us by you and your family.”
Many of the former Prince of Wales’ conversations with recent U.S. presidents centered on his interest in tackling climate change. Charles has campaigned for the environment for 50 years, but he acknowledged after becoming king that his new role requires that he set aside his activism on that and other issues.
Charles, 73, and Biden, 79, discussed global cooperation on the climate crisis last year while both attended a summit in Glasgow, Scotland. They also met at Buckingham Palace in June 2021 at a reception the queen hosted before a world leaders’ summit in Cornwall.
Biden rejoined the 2015 Paris climate agreement after Trump as president withdrew the U.S. from the accord.
Biden and the king spoke on Wednesday, with Biden offering his condolences over the queen.
Trump has said that during his visit with Charles, the former prince “did most of the talking” and pressed him on climate during a scheduled 15-minute meeting that stretched to 90 minutes in 2019 at Charles’ residence in London.
During a three-day visit to Washington in 2011, Charles, an advocate of environmentally friendly farming, met with President Obama. In a speech, he praised Michelle Obama’s campaign against childhood obesity and hunger, and U.S. manufacturers’ efforts to produce healthier foods.
He criticized U.S. government subsidies for large-scale agriculture and encouraged increased business and government support for organic and environmentally friendly food production.
In his toast at a White House dinner in 2005, the future king told President George W. Bush that the world looks to the United States “for a lead on the most crucial issues that face our planet and, indeed, the lives of our grandchildren.
“Truly, the burdens of the world rest on your shoulders,” he said.
In the remarks, Charles also said the trip reminded him of his first visit to America, “when the media were busy trying to marry me off to Tricia Nixon.”
Visiting with Reagan in the Oval Office in 1981, the two discussed their interest in horseback riding as a steward brought tea. But it was not served the British way.
Of the experience, Reagan later wrote in his diary:
“The ushers brought him tea — horror of horrors they served it our way with a tea bag in the cup. It finally dawned on me that he was just holding the cup and finally put it down on the table. I didn’t know what to do,” Reagan confessed.

SEATTLE — Two years after Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best stepped down from her role, the city has narrowed down applicants to three candidates who want to take on the role.
Interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz, Seattle Police Assistant Chief Eric Greening, and Tucson Police Department Assistant Chief Kevin Hall participated in a city-run Q&A session on Thursday, based on questions gathered from community input.
The candidates are pursuing a job that will tackle one of Seattle's worst records on violent crime, amid a staffing crisis.
The hiring process officially began in April this year, when the city hired a third-party search firm to gather candidates. The city spent approximately $75,000 for the search firm services, according to Mayor's Office Communications Director Jamie Housen.
In May, the city held a public survey to gather community feedback on what they're looking for in candidates.
In July and August, the city held seven, separate community conversations. By early September, the city narrowed it down to five candidates, who took a competitive exam.
On Thursday, the three final candidates held a televised forum where for the first time, the public got a chance to hear from the candidates on their plans to lead the department.
Each candidate answered the same six questions that included what policing alternatives do they support, how will they address violence crime and the prevalence of firearms, and does SPD need a culture change?
"As police chief, we own the past, the present, and the future," Diaz said.
Diaz has held the role in an interim capacity for 26 months and acknowledged that Seattle reached a 25-year high in homicides in 2020. He said his priorities include creating a sense of wellness among his staff.
"Really the focus first and foremost is retaining our people. We want to put together a comprehensive economic package that is so important that our officers feel valued and respected, that we look at shifts that actually make it easier for officers have that time off, to be able to have that rest and recuperation," Diaz said.
Hall, a 30-year veteran of the Tucson Police Department, said supports an evidence-based approach to alternative policing.
"Behavioral health crisis response does not have to be a police officer. It absolutely doesn't. There are places such as Tucson and other places in the country where it is an unarmed, crisis intervention team that goes to these calls, not police," Hall said.
Hall also said support for police is intertwined with the community.
"Ensuring public safety is co-produced with the public that we are working with," said Hall.
Greening, a 28-year veteran with SPD, said staff morale is tied with the higher ups.
"Officer morale won't improve unless we improve the morale of the leadership, from the top down," Greening said.
Greening also said public safety is his priority and he wants to level-out the perception of crime in the city.
"If I'm in my neighborhood in north Seattle, I'm walking down the street with my daughter and dog, and I feel comfortable. You can't be 100 percent safe all the time but you should be able to walk down the street in the city and feel reasonably safe and not have a fear of crime," Greening said.
What was not asked, was how the candidates will address homelessness and non-violent crimes like property crimes and theft.
The chief is ultimately appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by a city council majority vote, per the City Charter.

Seattle police chief candidates explain why they're best for the job

Major tech companies on Thursday committed to taking fresh steps to combat online extremism by removing more violent content and promoting media literacy with young users, as part of a White House summit on fighting hate-fueled violence.

Platforms like Alphabet's YouTube and Meta Platforms' Facebook have come under fire for years from critics who say the companies have allowed hate speech, lies and violent rhetoric to flourish on their services.
U.S. President Joe Biden earlier on Thursday called on Americans to combat racism and extremism during a summit at the White House that gathered experts and survivors and included bipartisan local leaders.

YouTube said it will expand its policies on violent extremism to remove content that glorifies violent acts, even if the creators of the videos are not related to a terrorist organisation.
The video streaming site already prohibits violent incitement, but in at least some cases has not applied existing policies to videos promoting militia groups involved with the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
A report by the Tech Transparency Project in May found 435 pro-militia videos on YouTube, including 85 posted since the January 6 attack. Some of the videos gave training advice, like how to carry out guerilla-style ambushes.
YouTube spokesman Jack Malon declined to say whether the service would change its approach to that content under the new policy, but said the update enables it to go further with enforcement than it had previously.
YouTube also said it will launch a media literacy campaign to teach younger users how to spot the manipulation tactics that are used to spread misinformation.
Microsoft said it will make a basic and more affordable version of its artificial intelligence and machine learning tools available to schools and smaller organisations in order to help them detect and prevent violence.
Facebook owner Meta announced it will partner with researchers from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies' Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism.
Last year, lawmakers grilled the chief executives of Alphabet and Facebook, as well as Twitter Inc., on whether their companies bore some responsibility for the January 6 attack.

Pelosi says America stands with Taiwan...gets it surrounded and violated, like SUPER violated 🥴 PLA dominance of Taiwan waters and airspace > performative political clown shows. DPP supporters sad to find that World reacted to all this by confirming 1 China policy, not praising US or pledging support to Taiwan.
World is ignoring the western boy who cried wolf for 5 years and counting. Nobody who matters believes any of this. Last time a fake push unfortunately coincided with discovering mass graves at "schools" for Native Americans. Latest push has the sad timing with a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school. Ironic how the West's own atrocious human rights record, especially with children, keeps stealing the spotlight from their own disinformation. So now according to UNHR the latest claim isn't genocide or even 'cultural' genocide. Admit making claims up before demanding interaction on the latest one. Just like clockwork. Search for missing Native artifacts led to the discovery of bodies stored in ‘the most inhumane way possible’ Disgusting.
Don't hype over fantasy, China's been waiting almost 10 years for US to follow through on rhetoric over SCS construction. US lost in Taiwan conflict war games. China hit moving ship in SCS with ballistic missiles in 2020 from Qinghai and Zhejiang.

Judge appoints special master to review materials seized from Mar-a-Lago
A federal judge in Florida has named Raymond Dearie as special master to review materials seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, denying the Justice Department's request to block the process, in which the government cannot use the materials seized for their criminal investigation until the review is complete.
Dearie, a veteran federal judge, was a candidate proposed by Trump who the Justice Department did not object to. He holds senior status in the Eastern District of New York and was first appointed by Ronald Reagan.
Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, directed Dearie to issue interim reports and recommendations "as appropriate" during the review, which she ordered to be complete by Nov. 30, closer to the timeline request by the Trump lawyers. The government wanted the review done by mid-October.
The Justice Department had previously stated that they didn't want the special master to have access to classified material, but Cannon has said that request is meritless. But she did say that the court would direct the special master to prioritize the "approximately 100 documents marked as classified."
Cannon also says she's unconvinced with the government's argument that the FBI's criminal investigation into the documents is intertwined with the intelligence community's assessment.
Cannon notes that Trump's team will bear the cost of the professional fees and expenses of the special master and any support staff or expert consultants who are engaged with the process. Trumps team had originally requested the cost be split between them and the government.

BUREIJ, Gaza Strip (AP) — Last spring, a Palestinian farmer was planting a new olive tree when his shovel hit a hard object. He called his son, and for three months, the pair slowly excavated an ornate Byzantine-era mosaic that experts say is one of the greatest archaeological treasures ever found in Gaza.
The discovery has set off excitement among archaeologists, and the territory's Hamas rulers are planning a major announcement in the coming days.
But it is also drawing calls for better protection of Gaza’s antiquities, a fragile collection of sites threatened by a lack of awareness and resources as well as the constant risk of conflict between Israel and local Palestinian militants.
The mosaic was uncovered just a kilometer (half mile) from the Israeli border. The floor, boasting 17 iconographies of beasts and birds, is well-preserved and its colors are bright.
“These are the most beautiful mosaic floors discovered in Gaza, both in terms of the quality of the graphic representation and the complexity of the geometry,” said René Elter, an archaeologist from the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem.
“Never have mosaic floors of this finesse, this precision in the graphics and richness of the colors been discovered in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
Elter says the mosaic pavement dates back to a time between the 5th and the 7th centuries. But he said a proper excavation must be conducted to determine when exactly it was built and whether it was part of a religious or secular complex.
Elter, who has conducted research in Gaza in the past, has not been able to visit the site but viewed a series of photos and videos taken by local research partners.
The Gaza Strip, a Palestinian coastal enclave sandwiched between Israel and Egypt, was a bustling trade route between Egypt and the Levant in ancient times. The coastal strip is full of remains of ancient civilizations, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic and Ottoman eras.
However, the treasures are rarely protected. In the past, they were looted. In recent years, some were damaged or destroyed by development projects or fighting with Israel. An Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after the Hamas militant group took over Gaza in 2007 has ravaged the economy, leaving few resources for the protection of antiquities.
Hamas itself pays little attention to preserving the sites as it struggles to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. More than 2.3 million people are squeezed in the strip's just 300 square kilometers (115 square miles). In 2017, Hamas bulldozers destroyed large parts of a site containing remains from a 4,500-year-old Bronze Age settlement to make housing projects for its employees.
Early this year, bulldozers digging for an Egyptian-funded housing project in northern Gaza unearthed a Roman-era tomb.
Among the few preserved sites in Gaza are the St. Hilarion monastery, which spans from the late Roman Empire to the Islamic Umayyad period, and the site of a Byzantine church that was restored by international aid organizations and opened this year in the northern Gaza Strip.
While these sites also have mosaics, Elter said the latest discovery, in the central Gaza town of Bureij, is “exceptional.”
The Hamas-run department of antiquities described the mosaic as “a big archaeological discovery” but refused to comment further, saying there will be a formal announcement later.
The owner of the land, who refused to be identified before the official announcement, has covered the unearthed portion of the mosaic floor with tin sheets. He said he hopes to receive compensation for protecting the unique discovery on his property.
The patch of land holding the mosaic is about 500 square meters (5,400 square feet) and three dug-out spots reveal glimpses of the mosaic.
The largest of the holes in the ground, about 2 meters by 3 meters (6 feet by 9 feet), has the 17 drawings of animals. The other two show intricate patterns of tiles. Roots of an old olive tree have damaged parts of the mosaic, which appears to be about 23 square meters (250 square feet) altogether in size.
Elter said the discovery is in “immediate danger” because it is so close to the Israeli separation fence.
Such areas along the fence are often the scene of intermittent clashes or Israeli incursions. Just last month, Israel and Gaza's Islamic Jihad militant group fought a fierce three-day battle that included Israeli shelling of militant posts and the landing of some misfired Palestinian rockets in the area.
Elter also worries that excavations by inexperienced people could damage the site. His hope is a professional team can properly excavate, restore and protect the mosaic.
“It is imperative to quickly organize an emergency rescue intervention,” Elter said.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The death of Queen Elizabeth II last week has reignited debate in New Zealand about whether it should continue recognizing Britain's monarch as its symbolic head of state or take the final step toward independence by becoming a republic.
But there remains a significant complicating factor.
While Indigenous people in many of the 14 nations outside of Britain which recognize the monarchy want to ditch it because they see it as a symbol of colonial repression, views are more mixed among Indigenous New Zealanders. Some Māori leaders favor sticking with the monarchy, at least for now.
That's because New Zealand's founding document, the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, was signed between Māori chiefs and the British crown. The treaty guaranteed Māori sovereignty over their traditional lands and fisheries, and some Māori worry those pledges could be threatened by eliminating the monarchy from New Zealand.
For the past 33 years, New Zealand's government has been negotiating with Māori tribes and compensating them for historic treaty breaches with settlements of money and land. But the process remains incomplete, with some tribes yet to reach settlements.
Willie Jackson, the government's minister for Māori development, said the appropriate time for a discussion about becoming a republic would come after the period of mourning for Elizabeth.
“When we do have that conversation, I think the reality for a lot of Māori is the position of the treaty is paramount,” Jackson said. “There has been a lot of worry that the treaty will disappear. So, obviously, some people will be looking for some entrenchment with regards to that."
Peeni Henare, New Zealand's defense minister and another influential Māori voice in the government, said that from his perspective, there should be “no thoughts given to becoming a republic” until the treaty settlement process is completed.
Constitutional experts argue that the obligations of New Zealand's government to compensate Māori under the treaty wouldn't need to change if it became a republic, and a switch would be a fairly simple legal maneuver to pull off. That hasn't reassured all Māori.
Some, however, are advocating for New Zealand to become a republic immediately. The small Māori Party, which holds two seats in the Parliament, surprised some observers in February by advocating for a republic as part of broader changes that include setting up a separate Māori parliament.
“The only way this nation can work is when Māori assert their rights to self-management, self-determination, and self-governance over all our domains," said party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer at the time, adding: “This won’t mean the crown is off the hook. If a couple gets divorced, you don’t lose responsibility for your child."
Lewis Holden, the campaign chair of lobby group New Zealand Republic, said the treaty remains key to the republic debate in New Zealand. He said his group's position is the same as that of academics — that nothing changes about the treaty's constitutional powers if New Zealand becomes a republic.
When it comes to Indigenous rights, Lewis added, “There is a big question, I think, about that symbolism of staying connected to the monarchy."
He said that New Zealand likely lags behind Caribbean nations and Australia in the push to become a republic, but he hopes there might be a national referendum on the issue within the next five to 10 years.
“Very clearly there was a lot of support for the monarchy simply because of the good feeling that people had towards the queen,” Holden said.
He said the feeling of nostalgia people had for Elizabeth and her connection to historic events like World War II was now gone — or would be after a spike during the mourning period for Elizabeth — and that support in New Zealand for the monarchy would inevitably wane under the reign of King Charles III.
But over the years, New Zealand's political leaders have shown little enthusiasm for engaging in the republic debate, no doubt in part because of the thorny Indigenous issues it raises.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said her government doesn't plan to pursue the issue following the queen's death.
She said she thought New Zealand will eventually become a republic, and it would probably happen within her lifetime, but that there were more pressing issues for her government to address.
Opposition Leader Christopher Luxon said much the same.
“I don't see any need for constitutional change right now. I think that it might happen at some point, but that could even be decades away,” he said.

Chinese delegation is BANNED from viewing the Queen lying-in-state in Westminster Hall by Speaker Lindsay Hoyle - but may still attend state funeral
- Tory MPs hit out at decision to invite Chinese officials to Queen's funeral
- Sir Iain Duncan Smith asks why Beijing isn't blacklisted like Russian and Belarus
- China's Vice-President Wang Qishan is set to attend Westminster Abbey service
- But it appears he may have been banned from seeing the Queen lying in state
- The Queen's funeral: All the latest Royal Family news and coverage
Britain is on a collision course with China today after President Xi's officials including his deputy were reportedly barred from viewing the Queen's coffin because she is lying in state in the Houses of Parliament.
All heads of state visiting London for the funeral on Monday have been invited to pay their respects to the late monarch in Westminster Hall before her funeral.
China’s president Xi Jinping was invited to Monday’s event but is thought unlikely to attend. In his place, a delegation led by vice-president Wang Qishan is expected to travel.
But House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has reportedly denied a request for the Chinese delegation to enter Westminster Hall - the ancient heart of British democracy.
It came months after MI5 issued an unprecedented warning that an alleged Chinese spy has infiltrated Parliament to interfere in UK politics - and allegedly boasted of lobbying 'more than 480 MPs'.
And in 2021 China's ambassador to the UK Zheng Zeguang was barred from Parliament after MPs and peers sanctioned by Beijing expressed outrage at his scheduled visit.
Sir Lindsay has declined to comment on claims he has banned Chinese officials from paying their respects to the Queen - although it appears Beijing has been handed a number of seats at Her Majesty's state funeral on Monday.
But an insider told POLITICO that the fact Chinese officials will be allowed inside Westminster Abbey - but not Westminster Hall - shows that Parliament is yet again 'taking a significantly tougher stance against Beijing' than the Prime Minister and her Government.
All heads of state visiting London for the funeral on Monday have been invited to pay their respects to the late monarch in Westminster Hall before her funeral - but a delegation led by vice-president Wang Qishan (pictured signing a condolence book) is believed to be banned from Parliament
Representatives of Russia, Belarus and Myanmar have not been invited to Monday's funeral, while Syria, Venezuela and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan are also being snubbed
Angry Tory MPs have hit out at a decision to invite Chinese officials to the Queen's funeral next week when representatives of Russia, Belarus and Myanmar have been banned.
Parliamentarians who have been sanctioned by Beijing are furious that China is not being blacklisted from the event like other countries facing claims of human rights abuses.
China's Vice-President Wang Qishan is set to attend the Westminster Abbey service on Monday along with other world leaders such as US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron.
But MPs have criticised the invite just 18 months after the House of Commons declared that Uighurs and other minorities in China's Xinjiang region are being subjected to genocide.
It also comes after China last year sanctioned a string of MPs and peers over their condemnation of the country's actions in Xinjiang.
A number of them have written to Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle - as well as his Lords counterpart, Lord McFall of Alcluith - to seek assurances that Chinese officials will not be allowed into the Palace of Westminster during their visit.
China's ambassador to the UK, Zheng Zeguang, is already barred from Parliament in retaliatory action for the imposition of sanctions on MPs and peers.
Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said it was 'astonishing' that Chinese officials would be welcomed at the Queen's funeral on Monday

Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith told Politico it was 'astonishing' that Chinese officials would be welcomed at the Queen's funeral and described it as 'project kowtow all over again'.
'How can they ban Belarus, Russia and Myanmar and not say no to China?,' the ex-Cabinet minister said.
'They have a huge record of human rights abuses, including what we believe to be genocide, smashing churches and persecuting Christians.'
Fellow Tory MP Tim Loughton, who like Sir Iain is among those to have been sanctioned by Beijing, told the website it was 'inconceivable that at such an important and sombre occasion as the state funeral of the Queen, that representatives of the Chinese Communist Party should be invited to attend on the same basis of other nations who have not been condemned for their genocidal acts'.
Mr Loughton penned the letter to Sir Lindsay and Lord McFall - co-signed by Sir Iain, crossbench peer Lord Alton, and Labour peer Helena Kennedy - demanding that Chinese officials not be allowed onto the Parliamentary estate during their visit.
'Given that the United Kingdom Parliament has voted to recognize the genocide committed by the Chinese Government against the Uighur people it is extraordinary that the architects of that genocide should be treated in any more favourable way than those countries who have been barred,' the letter said.
According to the South China Morning Post, Vice-President Wang is expected to arrive in London on Sunday ahead of the Queen's funeral.
On Saturday, China's President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to King Charles on his accession to the throne.
He said he was ready to work with the new monarch to improve mutual understanding and friendship between the UK and China.
Representatives of Russia, Belarus and Myanmar have not been invited to Monday's funeral, while Syria, Venezuela and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan are also being snubbed.
North Korea, Nicaragua and Iran have been invited only at ambassadorial level.
Number 10 today said invitations to the Queen's funeral were a matter for Buckingham Palace.
'It is for them to set out their guest list and, as is convention, those we have diplomatic relations with are invited in the main,' the Prime Minister's official spokesman said.

Rob Long: This should be an exchange program
Long suggests how unhappy Americans move on to socialist countries
Rob Long discussed with Greg Gutfeld and guests how it is common for migrants to be placed in resort areas and how celebrities and Venezuelans should be swapped in America on "Gutfeld!'
GREG GUTFELD: BIDEN THREW AN INFLATION REDUCTION PARTY TO CELEBRATE HIS ‘PHONY ACCOMPLISHMENT’
ROB LONG: Yeah. And it's also like not new. I mean, when I was living in L.A., the mayor would send homeless people to Vegas. Yes. Mayor Bloomberg sent people to Miami Beach. There's a long tradition of sending people to resort areas. Right. So like this is another resort area they're sending them to. Well, it looks like it's like it's not unusual to do this. It's actually something that people do all the time. Right. You know, the problem really is that. Well, the two problems one is that these are people from Venezuela. They're looking for asylum. Venezuela is a pit because it was run by a socialist crackpot. Right. A social crackpot, by the way, that a lot of American celebrities and politicians liked. So, yeah. So my theory is we should take all those people from Venezuela, all of them, and return an equal number of the Americans who love Venezuela so much. Then they can be where I guess they wanted to be. And we can have like happy to be in America, Americans who don't like that kind of government and everyone's happy. Yes. So it should be an exchange program.

A road near Ahmedabad's Juhapura area caved in on Wednesday afternoon and led to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) garbage truck falling into the crack.
A photo of the giant truck stuck inside the ditch has since surfaced on social media. "How bad is the condition of our road.. No one is going to see," the caption of the Twitter post read.

The incident happened on one of the main drainage trunk pipelines. According to The Indian Express, the truck was pulled out with a crane and the road was barricaded for repair. The authorities stated that the exact reason for the collapse can only be asserted after a detailed assessment.
As per the outlet, this was the 92nd cave-in to have been reported in Ahmedabad after July 10. The AMC officials have repaired more than 80 of them, while work on eight is still under process.

Meanwhile, this comes after a newly constructed road near Surabhi Park in the Vastral area was caved in after heavy rains. In another similar incident, an entire car went down to a crack in the Shahibaug area.
According to local media reports, the state government has ordered the AMC to immediately repair all the major roads in the city on a war footing. The official direction came as the National Games are scheduled to kick start from the city later this month. Roads leading to the airport, Narendra Modi Stadium, Kalupur Railway Station and Sabarmati Riverfront will be taken up on priority.

Yellen calls for modernized IRS at Maryland field office
By FATIMA HUSSEIN
Associated Press
NEW CARROLLTON, Md. (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is laying out her vision for a modernized, responsive, tech-savvy tax collection agency equipped to manage 21st century challenges. At an agency office in New Carrollton, Maryland, Yellen said the IRS plans to hire 5,000 new customer service representatives to vastly improve taxpayer service before the next filing season. She credited a recent $80 billion investment in the IRS through the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. She gave her address against the backdrop of false narratives pushed by Republicans who have said the IRS will be targeting the taxes of working-class Americans with armed auditing agents.

New partnership with global growth investor to further accelerate Kahoot!'s momentum with customer expansion, product roadmap, and commercialization efforts
OSLO, Norway, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kahoot!, the global learning and engagement platform company, today announced that General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm, has joined its investor base to support the company's next phase of expansion. Existing investor SB Northstar LP, a fund managed by a 100% directly owned subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp., partner to Kahoot! since 2020, is selling its full 15% stake in the company to General Atlantic. Upon completion of the transaction, General Atlantic is expected to become Kahoot!'s largest shareholder. With a mission of making learning awesome for millions of people around the world, Kahoot! plans to partner with General Atlantic to accelerate further growth initiatives, drive innovation, and expand its global footprint in homes, schools, and corporations.
Since its founding in 2013, the Kahoot! Group has grown into a multifaceted offering and a portfolio of leading brands at the intersection of digital learning and audience engagement. Since launch, the core Kahoot! service has been used by 8 billion non-unique cumulative participants across the globe.

With extensive engagement, learning, and content solutions for home, school, and work, the Kahoot! Group caters to users across North America, Europe, APAC, LATAM, and MENA.
Eilert Hanoa, CEO of Kahoot!, commented, "We are very grateful to SoftBank for their partnership over the past two years. As Kahoot! continues to pursue its mission to improve lifelong learning by building a leading global learning and engagement platform, we are thrilled to add a partner of General Atlantic's caliber. The team at GA brings deep experience in scaling global education technology and software businesses and positioning market leaders for long-term success, and we look forward to our next phase of momentum in empowering the learning ecosystem around the world."
Chris Caulkin, Managing Director and Head of Technology for EMEA at General Atlantic, continued, "We believe Kahoot! has significant potential for further growth as digital learning solutions continue to be adopted across its work, school, and home markets. With its much-loved brand, product-centric approach, and engaged global user base, Kahoot! is well positioned to scale, and we look forward to supporting Eilert and the full Kahoot! team in the years to come as they reach and engage ever more users worldwide."
Closing remains subject to customary regulatory conditions. Following closing and subject to shareholder approval, Chris Caulkin is expected to join the Board of Directors.

Pagani, the Italian marque, has taken the covers off its all-new Utopia hypercar. The third model from the brand will be limited to just 99 examples and replaces the Huayra whilst retaining its focus on aerodynamics.
The Utopia, which was under development for six years, sports a softer look when compared to the aggressive Huayra. At the front, it showcases a minor refresh to the nose and ditches the aerodynamic flaps on the bonnet present on the Huayra. The fluid design continues throughout the sides and ends at the rear, which features the iconic rocket-style quad exhaust, and the fixed bridge spoiler that connects the two rear wings.
On the inside, the Utopia sports plenty of familiar elements from the Huayra, including the dual circular instrument gauges and four circular AC vents on the top of the dash. Pagani has, however, ditched the Huyara’s central touchscreen for the Utopia, and it instead gets a larger digital driver’s display between the speedometer and rev counter.
The Utopia continues to be powered by an uprated version of the Mercedes-AMG-sourced 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine that puts out 864hp and 1,100Nm. Unlike the Huayra, which used a 7-speed, single-clutch automatic gearbox, the Utopia gets a lighter 7-speed manual transmission with a gated shift design. Pagani is also offering the 7-speed, single clutch automatic transmission as an option.
When it comes to stopping power, the Utopia gets Brembo carbon-ceramic disc brakes, which sit within the 21-inch forged alloys at the front and 22 inchers at the rear. The Pagani Utopia is built around a monocoque chassis with a mixture of carbon and titanium body panels and weighs 1,280kg, making it 70kg lighter than the Huayra.

12 dead after homes collapse during torrential rain in India
At least 12 people have been killed after homes collapsed during heavy rain in northern Indian.
The downpour also caused power outages and the flooding of hundreds of houses.
Schools were closed for the day in Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh state capital, where the meteorological office recorded 1.4in of torrential rain in the past 24 hours, said Brijesh Pathak, the state’s deputy chief minister.
A wall collapsed on a slum dwelling made of plastic sheets and mud early on Friday in the Hazratganj area of the state capital where laborers were sleeping. Nine died on the spot and another three were taken to hospital with injuries, Mr Pathak said.

In Unnao, a town 25 miles south west of Lucknow, another three people were killed in a house collapse following torrential rains, Mr Pathak said.
Earlier this month, life was disrupted in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru after two days of torrential rain caused widespread power cuts and heavy floods that swept into homes and submerged roads.
The two zones that make up the city, Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural, saw 141% and 114% excess rainfall, making it the wettest September day in the past eight years.
Monsoon rains in South Asia typically begin in June. But this year, heavy downpours lashed north-eastern India and Bangladesh from March, triggering floods as early as April in Bangladesh.
The monsoon season that ends in October leaves hundreds of people dead and tens of thousands homeless every year.
The weather system for the Indian subcontinent is being altered due to climate change. Scientists say this is making extreme events such as excess rainfall the new normal.
With rising global temperatures due to climate change, experts say the monsoon is becoming more variable. Much of the rain that would typically fall in a season is arriving in a shorter period of time.

Is Pat Sajak ready for one last spin on Wheel of Fortune?
The beloved game show host hinted that he may be ready to exit the long-running show, which debuted in 1975. While Pat told Entertainment Tonight that Wheel of Fortune "will not die," he teased that he "may go before the show."
Pat, who has hosted Wheel of Fortune for over 40 years, indicated that he does see a departure in his future. "Years go by fast," he continued. "We're getting near the end. It's been a long [time]. We're not gonna do this for another 40 years. The end is near."
How near? Only time will tell.
He added, "It's an honor to have been in people's living rooms for that long. People were out there welcoming us. We're happy and proud."
It's hard to imagine Wheel of Fortune without Pat, who has become a longstanding staple of the series. And it's clear that he takes his job seriously.
In March, Pat defended Wheel of Fortune contestants after they were ridiculed online for not solving a seemingly easy word puzzle. Not only did Pat urge fans to "have a little heart," he also defended that "these are good people in a bad situation under a kind of stress that you can't begin to appreciate from the comfort of your couch."
He continued, "I have fun with players and I tease them occasionally, but when things go wrong, I feel for them, and I try to salve the wounds on camera and off."
Leave it to Pat to have the right answer.
For more of Pat, be sure to catch him and longtime hostess Vanna White on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which premieres Sept. 25.

Last week (September 9), at its D23 Expo, Disney shared the teaser trailer of its highly anticipated live-action version of The Little Mermaid. Chloe x Halle member Halle Bailey plays the legendary role of mermaid princess Ariel.
Although we already knew that she would be starring in the film, actually being able to see it was so much better than any of us could have imagined. In the trailer, we get our first glimpse of Bailey swimming underwater freely before beautifully singing the song ‘Part of Your World.’ You can check the trailer out below.
Amazing right? Majority of people would agree but it isn’t surprising that some racist people couldn’t get with the times though. After the first look of the film released, #notmyariel started to trend on Twitter from fans who weren’t happy that a Black woman would be playing the role. Luckily, the negativity coming from those people couldn’t overshadow the impact that seeing a Black Ariel had on millions of little Black girls worldwide.
Parents of these young Black girls have gone viral by posting “blind reactions” to their daughters seeing the teaser trailer for the first time. Their facial expressions tell it all. Immediately you hear the young ones saying things such as “Mommy! She’s brown like me.” or “I wanna watch it.” Instead of the nasty hashtag that anti-Halle haters were using, two new ones emerged. #representationmatters and #blackgirlmagic quickly took over social media as parents made sure to show their support of the 22 year old singer/actress.
In an interview with Variety, Bailey spoke on how it was her grandparents who offered her different perspective on the backlash she was getting. “It was an inspiring and beautiful thing to hear their words of encouragement, telling me, ‘You don’t understand what this is doing for us, for our community, for all the little Black and brown girls who are going to see themselves in you,’” Bailey said.
“I want the little girl in me and the little girls just like me who are watching to know that they’re special and that they should be a princess in every single way.” she added.
In a social media post where a bunch of the reaction videos from the little girls are compiled, Bailey expressed how much it meant to her to be able to inspire so many Black girls and how grateful she was for all of the support she had been getting.
Alongside Bailey, the Rob Marshall directed film features Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Javier Bardem as Triton, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, and Awkwafina as Scuttle. The script was written by Jane Goldman and David Magee. Miranda and Marshall produce with John DeLuca and Marc Platt.
The Little Mermaid is set to be released in theaters on May 26, 2023. Let us know what you think about the #BlackGirlMagic in the trailer!

Queen Elizabeth II death: Why fears of 30-hour queue have not yet come true as royalists and republicans pay respects
Fears of a 30-hour queue to see the Queen’s lying in state have not yet come true, but the wait is still considerable.
Having joined the queue at Blackfriars Bridge just as dawn broke at 6am yesterday, it took until 10:30am to travel the two miles to Westminster Hall and the Queen’s coffin.
Our fellow queuers were a varied lot. Some had dressed casually and wrapped up against the early morning cold, others wore the traditional black suit, while ex-forces personnel came with medals and berets.
One mourner donned a bowler hat, pin-striped suit and furled umbrella, like he had come straight from George VI’s lying in state in 1952, images of which were beamed onto the side of the National Theatre.
In some ways, the queue has become an event in itself, something passing joggers filmed on their phones and the world’s media sent cameras to capture. On social media, questions about waiting times poured in.
The wait is difficult to gauge and the queue can sometimes be deceptive.
From Blackfriars it moved steadily, reaching Waterloo Bridge in an hour and then picking up pace past the London Eye and down towards Lambeth Bridge.
But it is here the real queuing begins, over the Thames and then back and forth through Victoria Gardens for nearly two hours.
Muscle aches set in, morale begins to flag and queuers discard the food they brought with them, but fear they no longer have time to eat. That food, collected by the Scouts, is either redistributed through the queue or sent to a local foodbank.
Carl Hankinson, who is among volunteers to monitor the queue throughout Victoria Gardens, said Scouts had been “on their feet 12 hours” a day to help ensure the smooth running of admissions.
The Scout, who once met the Queen at a garden party, said: “She was fantastic in every way – she was interested in Scouts, she was conversational, very encouraging and very supportive of young people.”
All the waiting offers ample time to chat with some of the thousands of mourners who have come to pay their respects.
Some conversations focused on work, hobbies and, later on, the ache of standing in a queue for so many hours, but mostly people talked about the Queen.
There were those who had seen her themselves, not just in the UK, but abroad too.
One man, brought up in Trinidad and Tobago but now living in London, told me how she had passed his house during a visit to the Caribbean and said he and his wife had now come to thank her for her “long years of service not just to Britain, but all of the Commonwealth”.
Others came to be part of history, to see a once-in-many-generations event. Others felt drawn by some undefinable connection to the Queen, even if they did not support the monarchy.
Despite being “not really a royalist” and never having seen the Queen in person, Andrew Halas, 70, said he felt “somehow, indelibly, she has made a connection with people of my generation”.
Everyone uses the same word to describe the Queen – “constant”.
But once inside, the talking stops.
It is an eerie hush that has enveloped Westminster Hall – usually a place of noise and clutter as tourists and school parties are directed from information desks further into the Palace of Westminster.
Now the vast Norman hall is dominated by the Queen’s coffin, draped in the Royal Standard and surrounded by guards, who are as still as waxworks.
As we file through the hall, we witness a Changing of the Guard. Co-ordinated by a series of taps from the Officer of the Watch’s stick, a new round of Irish Guards, Beefeaters and Gentlemen at Arms takes its place next to the old guard.
Two more taps, and suddenly the old guard seems to leave its trance and return to life, marching off while the new guard bow their heads and fall still.
The mourners begin filing past again, each paying respect in their own way. Some bow or curtsey, some pray, some shed tears.
But at the end, as they leave Westminster Hall, most take one final look back at the coffin, a last glimpse of our longest reigning monarch.
Three well-wishers who befriended each other in the queue said there had been a friendly “camaraderie” among the crowds, despite miserable weather.
Amy Harris, 34, and Matthew Edwards, 35, met James Cross, 65, after getting the train to London from Birmingham to join the queue about 1am.
Mr Cross said: “Everyone in the queue was very friendly, chatting and having a laugh. It was really quite lovely.”
Mr Edwards said: “Everyone was offering biscuits, drinks,” adding the three were now planning to have a pint together after the long wait.
The atmosphere in Westminster Hall was “breath-taking,” Ms Harris said.
“When you’re able to go in and have a moment to look at it and reflect, the serenity of it – to be able to pay your respects in such a serene place, it’s very peaceful.”
“It’s just like the only person that’s there is you,” Mr Cross said. “You walk in and you could hear a pin drop.”

GRAVETTE -- Members of the Gravette City Council heard from a half dozen Hiwasse area residents Sept. 8 during the council's committee of the whole meeting.
All those who commented were voicing objections to a proposed rezoning of property at 14716 Arkansas 72 in order to allow the construction of a concrete plant there. Shannon Mitchell, Peggy Bertschy, Desire Whitten, Patti Bertschy, Kimberly Fielding and Scott Belts expressed concerns about noise and dust resulting from the plant's operation, possible pollution of the creek in the area and increase in traffic in an area which already sees several motor vehicle accidents. Belts speculated that the increased noise and dust would have an adverse effect on his chickens.
Kyle O'Brien, a representative of O'Brien Rock Co., also addressed the council with questions about when he should reapply for rezoning. O'Brien had submitted all the proper paperwork, but after further administrative review, it was determined he was not eligible for rezoning until January 2023. At that time he will have to resubmit a request for rezoning.
Written reports were submitted by all department heads.
David Keck, building inspector and code enforcement officer, reported that two new buildings have been constructed at RazorBox Storage and said the bidding process was starting for Gravette's new Dollar General store.
Library director Karen Benson reported that several library programs have started now that the summer reading program has ended. These include an after-school story time for children in grades K-2, kids' math club for grades 3-5, and Maker Monday and code club for grades 5-12. She announced the Moon Over Main Street event will be held Oct. 1 with a "Good Night, Moon" story time at the library.
Fire Department Lt. Randy Ates told of the department's intention to fix up the old ladder truck that is no longer in service and auction it off. He also reported that students in the department-led Firefighter I and II classes are ready for testing and noted that not many local departments are willing to train and certify prospective firefighters.
Tim Dewitt, streets and parks department supervisor, reported that he would be attending a continuing education class in Hot Springs. Richard Sutherland, water/sewer department supervisor, and Anthony Cochran will also be attending. He encouraged everyone to attend the Hiwasse Fall Festival on Saturday and announced the annual fall cleanup is scheduled from 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Sept. 26-30 and 8-11 a.m. Oct. 1.
A public hearing was held regarding the condemnation of property at 205 Fifth Ave. N.E. No one was present to comment, so the hearing was closed and council members went back into regular session to discuss the condemnation. The residence, owned by the Anita Barnes Trust, is a mobile home that is in bad shape and no longer suitable for habitation. Property owners have been notified that it is in violation of nuisance, public health and safety ordinances.
Council members also discussed an appeal of a lot split for a tract at 12904 Arkansas 72 owned by John N. Butler. The Planning Commission had denied Butler's request to split off 0.25 acres of a 3.28-acre tract for an advertising sign. Butler is asking the council to reconsider the commission's decision.
A tract split and rezoning for a property at 17670 Arkansas 72 owned by Marion and Connie Harris were also considered. The Harrises wish to split off one acre and rezone it as residential for new owners to remodel the house on the property and live in it. The remainder of the property would remain agricultural.
Mayor Kurt Maddox noted that the contract with Republic Trash Service specifies their rate can go up 3% a year. He said representatives of the company had proposed increasing rates more than that, but he thought they had decided to stick with the 3% increase and this item would likely not have to be considered at the Sept. 22 council meeting.
The annual resolution setting millage rates for personal property and real property in Gravette will be on the agenda for the council meeting, as will a resolution approving adjustments for the 2022 budget.
Council members voted to approve changing committee meeting times from 6 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for the October, November and December meetings and to hold the October committee meeting and council meeting on the first and third Thursdays of the month rather than the previously scheduled second and fourth Thursdays.
Finance Director Carl Rabey gave a brief financial report and said finances were "looking pretty good." He said sales tax revenue is coming in right in line with projections and franchise fees are at 70%. He reported a $400,000 year-to-date surplus in the general fund and said there was no bond update since the meeting was too early in the month.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Maddox reported the city had received approval for a $408,000 trails grant to complete trails around the school and down Dallas Street to connect with El Paso.

Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick sued for USD 40 million over alleged fake lottery scam; Reports
Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick are reportedly being sued for promoting a fake lottery as reported by TMZ.
Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick are reportedly being sued for USD 40 million for promoting luxe prizes on Instagram that are allegedly part of a fake lottery scam. As per reports, users who entered the contests were allegedly promised a chance of winning first-class tickets to Los Angeles, a three-night stay in Beverly Hills and even USD 100,000.
According to Page Six, Disick is allegedly the organizer of the lotteries and members of the Kardashian family including Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kylie Jenner have helped promote it to their millions of followers on Instagram. Although as reported by TMZ, Disick and Kim are the only ones named in the lawsuit.
TMZ reports that plaintiffs are made up of people who participated in the contests but did not win and have claimed that Kardashian, 41, Disick, 39, and Curated Businesses organized the contests to allegedly sell their personal information to advertisers, according to TMZ.
In the meantime, Kim Kardashian recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden. The SKIMS founder opened up about her newly single status following her breakup with Pete Davidson last month. Speaking about her relationship status and plans for the future, she said, "I haven't really thought about it because I'm not looking. I just want to chill for a minute." Kardashian further continued, "I think I need some time to myself to just focus, finish school, all that." As for Pete, the comedian recently made his first public appearance since their breakup at Emmys 2022.

PARIS (AP) — Many domestic and some international flights were canceled in France Friday as air traffic controllers went on a national strike over pay and recruitment issues.
French civil aviation authority DGAC warned that domestic traffic would be “severely disrupted” with many flights canceled and other experiencing long delays. Travelers have been advised to postpone their trip if possible.
Air France said it has canceled 55% of its short- and medium-haul flights and 10% of its long-haul flights. The company could not rule out further delays and last-minute cancellations, it said in a statement.
Other companies operating in France, including Ryanair, Easyjet and Volotea, have also canceled flights.
France's main union of air traffic controllers, the SNCTA, called the one-day strike to demand higher pay amid soaring inflation and demanding more staff to be hired in the coming years.

The year 2022 has not been kind to our wallets. But amid rising prices (i.e., inflation) there’s at least one perk: Savings account rates have increased, including on certificates of deposit.
Some CDs have returns upward of 3% right now, but like any bank account, they don’t work for every financial situation. Let’s see if CDs make sense for you.
Quick definition: CDs that hold money, not music
If you came to this article thinking of a CD as in a compact disc for music, I apologize — but good luck with your old-school music collection.
In banking, a CD refers to a certificate of deposit, which is a type of savings account that has a fixed term and fixed interest rate. You add money, wait for the CD’s term — usually three months to five years — to end, and get your money back with interest.
The main places to open CDs are banks and credit unions, which are banks’ not-for-profit counterparts. Credit unions tend to call CDs “share certificates.” Brokerages also offer CDs, but the process is more complicated and requires an investment account.
CDs: The good, the bad, the penalty
The good
Here’s the biggest reason to consider CDs: They can offer the highest guaranteed returns for a bank account. And current CD rates are some of the highest in a decade, based on NerdWallet analysis of Fed data and its own data. When the Federal Reserve raises its rate, as it has multiple times in 2022, banks usually raise their savings and CD yields.
Hands down, the best rates are at online-only institutions. At the time of writing, you can find rates for one-year CDs above 2.3% annual percentage yield, three-year CDs above 2.7% APY and five-year CDs above 3% APY. The national average CD rates, in contrast, are below 0.70%, which is still better than the national average of 0.13% on regular savings accounts.
Take this scenario: Put $10,000 into a CD at 3% for a five-year term, and you’ll earn around $1,600 in interest. Try that same amount and time frame but in a savings account with a 0.13% rate, and you’ll earn about $65. I’d choose the first option.
Unlike some checking or savings accounts, CDs don’t have monthly fees or minimum balance requirements other than a minimum amount to open. High-yield CDs have minimums that range from $0 to $10,000.
The bad
CDs are the bank account equivalent of a lockbox. In exchange for high rates, you give up access to funds. The first time you add money is nearly always the only time you add money, so you have to be OK with transferring a decent sum of cash into an account upfront. Then your money gets locked up for the CD term you choose.
The penalty
If you need to cash out a CD early, well, it might hurt. You must withdraw all the money in one transaction and almost always pay a penalty that can cost several months’ to a year’s worth of interest you earned — or would’ve earned. A bank can dip into your original amount to cover a penalty. Unlike other bank accounts, though, CDs only have this one potential cost, and you can avoid it by waiting for a CD to mature.
When would CDs work best for me?
CDs have more specific use cases than your everyday checking and savings accounts. Ask yourself any of these questions before deciding to open one.
1. Do I need more distance from some savings?
Say you come into an inheritance or other type of windfall; or you’ve built up savings for years; or, you’re like my parents who — as I grew up — put some savings in a share certificate to keep it out of reach. Whatever the reason, a CD is built to keep you from being tempted to spend those funds.
2. Do I have savings earmarked for a big purchase?
If you have a sum intended for a car or down payment on a home in the next few years, a CD helps you set aside the funds until you’re ready.
3. Do I want to protect some wealth outside of investments?
CDs provide short-term safety, not long-term growth. Funds are federally insured as they are in other bank accounts, meaning your funds get returned to you even if a bank goes bankrupt. CDs also don’t have the risk of fluctuation in value as in the stock market.
CDs “sit in the middle ground between emergency savings and investing,” says Derek Brainard, national director of financial education at the AccessLex Institute, a financial literacy nonprofit.
Essentially, CDs are cash reserves for short-term goals. Emergency savings should be immediately accessible if they’re needed, while investing — such as in stocks or bonds — is for accumulating wealth in the long term, Brainard explains.
What if CDs aren’t right for me?
Giving up the thought of high CD rates might be hard, but maybe you realize that losing access to funds isn’t worthwhile. You can still take advantage of the rising rate environment by opening a high-yield savings account. Like high-yield CDs, these accounts are mostly available at online-only banks and credit unions. Many have rates close to 2% APY right now, and you can add or remove money at any time.
I want a CD, but what if CD rates increase?
A CD’s fixed rate can be a double-edged sword: It provides guaranteed returns, but if rates rise, you lose out on higher rates after you lock in yours. And rates have been increasing lately.
“If you do believe the rising rate environment will continue, one strategy to offset that risk is certificate [or CD] laddering,” says CJ Pointkowski, assistant vice president of savings products at Navy Federal Credit Union.
Laddering CDs, or creating a CD ladder, involves opening multiple CDs of different terms — generally short, midrange and long terms. A common ladder consists of one- through five-year CDs where five CDs mature at staggered intervals, such as every year for the next half decade. When each CD ends, you can reinvest in a new five-year CD to take advantage of higher future rates — or you can withdraw the cash.
If juggling multiple CDs sounds like a hassle, another strategy is to open a no-penalty CD. This less-common type of CD allows for a free early withdrawal at any point after the first few days, which removes any barrier of switching to a higher-rate CD later. But rates alone shouldn’t guide your decision to open a CD.
“At the end of the day, a CD is either going to be the right tool or not, regardless of what’s happening in the interest rate environment,” Brainard says.

As summer turns to fall, the garden may seem to fade into the background. But there’s still plenty of action going on underground, so this is no time to rest.
For starters, your plants still need water. Although their thirst will wane as temperatures cool, perennials, trees and shrubs in colder regions actually require extra water in early autumn to help them prepare for (and successfully emerge from) dormancy.
In cooler zones, plant pansies for a dash of fall color. They’ll die down over winter but return to bloom again next spring until the heat of summer does them in. In warmer zones, the pansies will keep doing fine so long as winter temperatures don’t rise above 80 degrees.
Add other seasonal bloomers to the garden or containers, too. Chrysanthemums, asters, and colorful ornamental kales and cabbages are good choices.
You can also start planting bulbs. In areas that experience winter freezes, this means hardy ones like tulips, muscari, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, snowdrops and glory of the snow. In the South, consider amaryllis, caladiums, calla lilies, cannas, daffodils, dahlias, elephant ears, gladiolus and tuberous begonias.
Those gardening in the southernmost parts of the U.S., like South Texas and Florida, can plant another round of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.
There’s no need to pull up declining crops if they’re still producing. Take what you can from them until they die down on their own, then clear beds of plant debris.
Planting a cover crop such as clover or rye in vacant vegetable beds will help suppress weeds, control erosion and add nutrients to the soil. Come spring, just turn the ground over and plant your next garden. Avoid using legume cover crops in beds where you plan to grow legumes like beans or peas, however.
Dispose of diseased plants in the trash, and start a compost pile with healthy plant parts. Create layers of fresh materials like fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps, grass clippings, weeds that haven’t gone to seed, coffee grounds, cornstarch packing peanuts, horse manure, and rabbit and bird droppings. Alternate them with dry items like leaves, twigs, shredded paper and straw (never include used kitty litter, dog poop, fats, meat, dairy or other animal products).
To speed decomposition, sprinkle a bit of nitrogen over each layer and keep the pile slightly moist, turning it every so often with a pitchfork. By next summer, you’ll be able to enrich your soil with “black gold.”
To prepare for spring planting, test your soil’s pH now and add amendments like lime, if indicated, and compost, which will work their way deep into the ground over winter.
Avoid fertilizing everywhere except in the South, where some turfgrasses may benefit from an early fall application of a slow-release product. But observe local fertilizer restrictions to protect the ecosystem and prevent waste (and, potentially, fines). During the South’s rainy season, for example, nitrogen is likely to be washed through the soil into groundwater; in the North, cooling temperatures prevent the absorption of fertilizers, which also can leach into groundwater there.
Both scenarios pollute our precious resources and waste money, as unabsorbed fertilizer won’t benefit your lawn or plants, anyway.
Southern gardeners should feed citrus trees now, but not during rainy weather. Use a slow-release product to provide long-lasting nutrients and avoid leaching and runoff.
Rejuvenate the lawn, but core aerate it first. Seed once a week and water lightly every day until it’s 3 inches tall.
Transplant and divide spring- and early-summer perennials and groundcovers, but don’t disturb late-season bloomers until spring.
Fall is a good time to plant trees and shrubs. In cold zones, it’s best to wait until the trees in your area drop their leaves. Water well and apply mulch.
Cool-season crops, like beets, radishes, greens and broccoli can be planted in many temperate climes now.
Finally, do your future self a favor and keep on top of weeds. Pulling them up by their roots before they set seed will significantly reduce their numbers next year.
You’ll thank yourself in the spring.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A British man accused by Denmark of masterminding a $1.7 billion tax fraud has been ordered by a Dubai court to pay Copenhagen's tax authority $1.25 billion, court filings seen Friday show, just days after another Dubai court rejected an extradition order for him.
The order by the Dubai Court of Appeal against Sanjay Shah comes as part of a civil case filed four years ago by Denmark's tax authority, who have been pursuing him as part of their investigation in one of the country's largest-ever tax fraud case.
Shah has maintained his innocence in the case while fighting extradition. Lawyers representing Shah in the separate civil case did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
Denmark has accused Shah of masterminding an elaborate tax scheme for three years beginning in 2012 involving foreign businesses pretending to own shares in Danish companies and claiming tax refunds for which they were not eligible.
The Danish tax authority, Skattestyrelsen, filed the civil case against Shah in 2018 through a local Dubai law firm. In its decision Wednesday, the Dubai Court of Appeal said Denmark had sought $1.9 billion from Shah and his alleged accomplices.
Shah's lifestyle on Dubai's luxurious palm-shaped island over the past few years had sparked outrage in Denmark. After Danish authorities signed an extradition agreement with the UAE, Dubai police arrested Shah in June. Shah is one of several suspects in the tax scheme sought by Danish authorities.
During his time in Dubai, the hedge fund manager ran a center for autistic children that shut down in 2020 as Denmark tried to extradite him. He also oversaw a British-based charity, Autism Rocks, which raised funds through concerts and performances.
On Monday, another Dubai court ruled Shah cannot be extradited to Denmark to face charges. Lawyers representing Shah in the case told The Associated Press on Thursday that prosecutors had filed an appeal seeking to overturn that decision.
The extradition case targeting Shah comes as pressure grows on Dubai, the region's financial hub, over its alleged weaknesses in combating illicit finance.
The UAE, a federation of seven emirates, has long invited the wealthy, including disgraced public figures, to invest in the country without questioning where they made their money. Scrutiny of Dubai has intensified as the flashy city-state becomes a haven for Russian money amid Moscow's war on Ukraine.

As monkeypox drops in the West, still no vaccines for Africa
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - With monkeypox cases subsiding in Europe and parts of North America, many scientists say now is the time to prioritize stopping the virus in Africa.
In July, the U.N. health agency designated monkeypox as a global emergency and appealed to the world to support African countries so that the catastrophic vaccine inequity that plagued the outbreak of COVID-19 wouldn't be repeated.
But the global spike of attention has had little impact on the continent. No rich countries have shared vaccines or treatments with Africa, and some experts fear interest may soon evaporate.
"Nothing has changed for us here, the focus is all on monkeypox in the West," said Placide Mbala, a virologist who directs the global health research department at Congo´s Institute of Biomedical Research.
"The countries in Africa where monkeypox is endemic are still in the same situation we have always been, with weak resources for surveillance, diagnostics and even the care of patients," he said.
Monkeypox has sickened people in parts of West and Central Africa since the 1970s, but it wasn't until the disease triggered unusual outbreaks in Europe and North America that public health officials even thought to use vaccines. As rich countries rushed to buy nearly all the world's supply of the most advanced shot against monkeypox, the World Health Organization said in June that it would create a vaccine-sharing mechanism to help needy countries get doses.

So far, that hasn´t happened.
"Africa is still not benefiting from either monkeypox vaccines or the antiviral treatments," said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO´s Africa director, adding that only small amounts have been available for research purposes. Since 2000, Africa has reported about 1,000 to 2,000 suspected monkeypox cases every year. So far this year, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified about 3,000 suspected infections, including more than 100 deaths.
In recent weeks, monkeypox cases globally have fallen by more than a quarter, including by 55% in Europe, according to WHO.
Dr. Ifedayo Adetifa, head of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, said the lack of help for Africa was reminiscent of the inequity seen during COVID-19.
"Everybody looked after their (own) problem and left everybody else," he said. Adetifa lamented that monkeypox outbreaks in Africa never got the international attention that might have prevented the virus from spreading globally.
Rich countries have stretched their vaccine supplies by using a fifth of the regular dose, but none have expressed interest in helping Africa. WHO's regional office for the Americas recently announced it had struck a deal to obtain 100,000 monkeypox doses that will start being delivered to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean within weeks. But no similar agreements have been reached for Africa.
"I would very much like to have vaccines to offer to my patients or anything that could just reduce their stay in the hospital," said Dr. Dimie Ogoina, a professor of medicine at Nigeria´s Delta University and a member of WHO´s monkeypox emergency committee.
Since WHO declared monkeypox a global emergency, Nigeria has seen the disease continue to spread, with few significant interventions.
"We still do not have the funds to do all the studies that we need," Ogoina said.
Research into the animals that carry monkeypox and spread it to humans in Africa is piecemeal and lacks coordination, said Mbala, of Congo´s Institute of Biomedical Research.
Last week, the White House said it was optimistic about a recent drop in monkeypox cases in the U.S., saying authorities had administered more than 460,000 doses of the vaccine made by Bavarian Nordic.
The U.S. has about 35% of the world´s more than 56,000 monkeypox cases, but nearly 80% of the world´s supply of the vaccine, according to a recent analysis by the advocacy group Public Citizen.
The U.S. hasn't announced any monkeypox vaccine donations for Africa, but the White House did make a recent request to Congress for $600 million in global aid.
Even if rich countries start sharing monkeypox tools with Africa soon, they shouldn't be applauded, other experts said.
"It should not be the case that countries only decide to share leftover vaccines when the epidemic is declining in their countries," said Piero Olliaro, a professor of infectious diseases of poverty at Oxford University. "It is exactly the same scenario as COVID and it is still completely unethical."
Olliaro, who recently returned to the U.K. from a trip to Central African Republic to work on monkeypox, said WHO's emergency declaration appeared to offer "no tangible benefits in Africa."
In Nigeria´s Lagos state, which includes the country's largest city and is hard hit by monkeypox, some people are calling for the government to urgently do more.
"You can´t tell me that the situation wouldn´t have improved without a vaccine," said Temitayo Lawal, 29, an economist.
"If there is no need for vaccines, why are we now seeing the U.S. and all these countries using them?" he asked. "Our government needs to acquire doses as well."

Now Trevor Noah takes an irreverent pop at Britain's royals: The Daily Show host roasts King Charles III as 'spoilt' after his double pen disaster saying he 'isn't the guy to shape the monarchy'
- The comedian took aim at King Charles just days after death of the Queen
- He showed footage of the new monarch getting frustrated with a leaking pen
- He told his US audience it showed Charles isn't the right monarch for Britain
- Noah bolstered his view with claims by controversial ex-royal butler Paul Burrell
Trevor Noah has taken a brutal swipe at 'spoilt' King Charles III just days after the monarch acceded to the throne following the death of his mother.
The profane South African comedian told his guffawing audience on the Daily Show: 'This dude can barely pull his d*** out of his own pants.'
He aired widely shared footage of the King caught on camera becoming frustrated with a leaking pen as he said: 'Oh God, I hate this. I can't bear this bloody thing.'
Earlier the royal gestured furiously to one of his aides to remove a pot of ink.
Noah, 38, told his audience in the US how the clips during Charles' period of mourning shows how he is not the right person for the monarchy.
He said: 'It's going to take a lot of work to shape the monarchy into something that everyone can get behind.
'But based on his first week in power, looks like King Charles isn't the guy to do it.'
The remarks are not the only ones from US media to spark fury in Britain, with the New York Times accused of a 'sneering attack' on the royals.
Trevor Noah has taken a brutal swipe at 'spoilt' King Charles III just days after the monarch acceded to the throne following the death of his mother
The paper said the Queen helped to 'obscure a bloody history of decolonization', then inflated figures as they questioned why her funeral should be paid out of taxes, despite the vast majority of Britons being in favor of a fitting send-off.
Noah continued in his cynical diatribe: 'I love how Charles says the pens leak on him all the time.
'You're literally the King of England, dude! If you don't like the pens, get different pens. I'm not an expert in the monarchy, but I'm pretty sure the hierarchy doesn't go: Prince William, King Charles and then the guy who buys the pens.'
He added: 'Still, I feel kinda bad for him. I do. Because in the old days, the King would've never had these issues. There would be no leaking pens.
'Maybe King Charles is just stressed out right now, maybe that's why this is happening. Because becoming king is a lot of pressure, I mean there's like 15 different forks to memorize, you have to sleep with that crown on, that's not comfortable.
Noah, 38, told his audience in the US how the clips during Charles' period of mourning shows how he is not the right person for the monarchy
King Charles, sitting inside the royal residence of Hillsborough Castle, Northern Ireland, appeared frustrated by the dripping ink as he tried signing a book
'But if you paid attention to King Charles back during his prince days, you would know that this is pretty much how he's always been.'
Noah then showed footage of Princess Diana's controversial butler Paul Burrell slamming the then Prince of Wales.
Burrell claimed he was the 'only man Diana never trusted but others have denounced him as a royal 'hanger-on' who sold stories to the press, and who Charles accused of 'exercising pathetic vendettas in public'.
The ex-butler turned reality star went on to release a memoir about his experiences with the royals which Prince William said would have 'mortified' his mother, accusing him of 'cold and overt betrayal'.
In the clip aired on the Daily Show, Burrell says: 'The Prince of Wales has grown up in such a privileged lifestyle that he doesn't have the mechanics to choose for himself anymore.
'His pajamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron, the water temperature has to be just tepid and only half-full. Prince Charles does have his valet squeeze one inch of toothpaste on to his toothbrush every morning.
Noah then showed footage of Princess Diana's controversial butler Paul Burrell slamming the then Prince of Wales
'On one occasion, he rang me from his library and he said: "Oh Paul, a letter from the Queen seems to have fallen into my wastepaper bin, would you pick it out?" The wastepaper bin was there, he was sat there, I had to bend down into the paper bin, pick out the letter, put it back on his desk, "Would that be all Your Highness?"'
Noah feigned outrage at the claims to his shocked viewers.
He said: 'When I was a kid, I thought kings had to pull swords out of stones. This dude can barely pull his d*** out of his own pants?'
'You know what this tells you, this story about Charles is one, the royals have been royally spoilt, and two, I can tell you that nobody who works in that palace is African.'
The comedian then impersonated an African woman telling Charles: 'There is only one king and that is Jesus.'
US media has been slammed in the UK for its coverage of the Queen's death.
In a story on Wednesday, the New York Times reported that the British taxpayers would front the bill of the funeral costs, which will reportedly cost more than $6million.
The story labeled it a 'hefty price tag' amid rampant inflation in Britain, but readers were unamused by the article as they slammed the tone of the reporting regarding the late monarch of 70 years.
The New York Times was forced to issue an embarrassing correction on Thursday after it fudged inflation data and stoked recession fears
Burrell claimed he was the 'only man Diana never trusted but others have denounced him as a royal 'hanger-on'
Soon after publishing the story, Ben Judah, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council tweeted the actual cost per household would be just five pence each.
Using the New York Times' estimate of the Queen's funeral cost, the UK's 28 million households would have to pay just 20 pence each.
By Thursday, the Times admitted it was wrong and published a correction to the story, noting the UK's inflation is not actually as bad as it originally reported.
Rather than the more than 10 percent inflation the Times pushed, the correction said: 'The country's inflation rate is at nearly 10 percent; it does not exceed 10 percent.'
It also said 'while the Bank of England said last month that it expected a long recession to begin this year, that was before a new plan proposed by Prime Minister Liz Truss to cap soaring energy costs.'
Twitter user Dorren Wilson said: 'Your newspaper has been unfailingly full of snark, on a story that doesn't belong to you. Disappointing.
'I subscribed for five years, but you've confirmed the wisdom of letting it go.'
The New York Times received more backlash over its reporting of the Queen's funeral as it noted that it would be paid for by British taxpayers
Readers took to social media to condemn the tone of the reporting just days after Queen Elizabeth's death, marking an end to her 70 year reign
Wilson was not alone in her criticism of the Times, fellow Twitter user Robert Corbishley said the cost to taxpayers would still be less than the $7 paper.
'Less per person than the price of one copy of your “newspaper,”' he wrote.
Tom Harwood, a British political commentator, noted that the British government was already committing billions of pounds to tackle inflation.
'The Queen’s funeral [cost will] be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that,' Harwood wrote. 'You absolute ghouls.'
The backlash came a week after the paper garnered criticism over an article by Maya Jasanoff, a history professor at Harvard University, where she focuses on the history of Britain and the British Empire and said it was wrong to 'romanticize' the crown.
'The queen helped obscure a bloody history of decolonization whose proportions and legacies have yet to be adequately acknowledged,' she wrote as other reporters around the nation joined suit to criticize the late Queen's reign.
Many called The Times disrespectful and said British taxpayers were more than happy to help pay for the Queen's funeral costs
Maya Jasanoff, a Harvard professor specializing in the history of the British Empire, wrote for the Times last week that it was wrong to 'romanticize' the Queen's rule
New York Magazine's The Cut has been seen as the biggest offender over its coverage of the Queen's death and the British Royal Family.
The liberal magazine that published an in-depth interview with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, in August, has recently targeted King Charles in a new piece that was published online on Wednesday.
The latest story is titled: 'King Charles's Reign of Fussiness Has Begun,' which comes days before the Queen's funeral, which is scheduled for Monday.
The article points to reports that Charles went through two 'tantrums' in the days after his mother's death. One was the report that he stormed out of a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland when a pen leaked on him, another was when he 'trussed up in tails and hissing at palace aides who failed to move a pen tray off his table with due haste.'
The king apparently gestured to aides to help him to make some room on a cluttered desk.
The Cut goes on to mention a report from the Guardian in which it was alleged that Charles chose to tell close to 100 employees that he was letting them go as he prepares to move into Buckingham Palace during a memorial service for his mother.
A source told the newspaper: 'Everybody is absolutely livid, including private secretaries and the senior team.'
New York Magazine's The Cut, which published an in-depth interview with Meghan Merkle, has been seen as the biggest offender over its coverage of the Queen's death
The article concludes by one of Meghan Markle's many unproven allegations against Charles, that he was racist about her son, Archie, and accuses him of 'mundane cruelty' to his wife, Princess Diana.
Infamously, shortly after the Queen's death, The Cut published an article titled: 'I Won't Cry Over the Death of a Violent Oppressor.'
The piece was an interview Carnegie Mellon linguistics professor Uju Anya who tweeted on Thursday: 'I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.'
Anya told the Cut that the Queen was a 'representative of the cult of white womanhood.'
Uju Anya, a black applied-linguistics professor at the Pittsburgh university, said on Friday: 'Queen Elizabeth was representative of the cult of white womanhood'
Shortly before the Queen's passing was announced on Thursday, Anya tweeted that she hoped her death would be 'excruciating'
Anya, an applied-linguistics professor at the Pittsburgh university, is the daughter of a mother from Trinidad and a father from Nigeria.
She told NBC News that she is 'a child of colonization,' and that her perspective was shaped by Britain's role in the Nigerian Civil War.
'My earliest memories were from living in a war-torn area, and rebuilding still hasn't finished even today,' she said.
She defended her remarks opposing the monarchy and added that the Queen was not exempt from the decisions made by the British government 'she supervised.'
'Queen Elizabeth was representative of the cult of white womanhood,' Anya said.
'There's this notion that she was this little-old-lady grandma type with her little hats and her purses and little dogs and everything, as if she inhabited this place or this space in the imaginary, this public image, as someone who didn't have a hand in the bloodshed of her Crown.'

The poet Rumi wrote, "Let the beauty we love be what we do." With a new school year underway, many teachers are drawn to their classrooms by just that sense of love.
We're thinking about it at Morning Edition, too.
"I love my job, and my job, of course, is to change the world, one word at a time," says NPR's Poet-in-Residence Kwame Alexander.
Morning Edition asked listeners to send us poems describing their hopes for the coming school year.
And in came more than 400 poems — from parents, students and teachers. In one, a student vowed to listen more intently to their teacher. In another, the writer imagined learning to drive this year. Many submissions from teachers echoed a singular promise: to be there for their students — and for themselves.
Alexander took submissions and stitched them into a community-sourced poem — embracing all the anxiety, anticipation and excitement that the first days of school can bring.
Read Alexander's poem, titled This Year Shall Be Different or listen to it above.
This Year Shall Be Different
I want to teach my children there is a hopeful future still ahead
And that kids like themselves — dogged and bent and quirky and kind —
Are going to make it.
I want to Wipe away their tears
Confront all their fears
Step into the need
Give them voice and choice,
seek to employ
a house of greater joy.
Then stop good teachers from leaving.
Because We are scaffolding somebodies
a sweeter society
This year, I promise to
Paper over the stain on the wall
Find one more student desk from the hall
Replenish the band-aid supply by the door
Stash spare snacks — peanut-free! — to be sure
Sort and organize the knowledge of centuries
into a learning management system;
Grade the papers,
monitor the anxiety;
Organize your backpack when papers come unfurled
Sit with you as you rage against the world
Focus on the big questions
in a culture of fast answers.
You see, This year
I've got
colleges to tour
teachers to bore,
math to do
Teachers to woo
Essays to write
Sources to cite
shoes to tie
Important people to look in the eye
Quizzes to complete, try not to make a mistake.
Got to learn to drive, learn to slam the brakes
My room is a mess, I have a bed to make.
Daily habits to teach
Parents I'll need to reach
And as soon as I get a minute
I just may ask an author to visit
I've got friends to make
Long tests to take
A's to pursue
a new hairdo
homework to do,
so no haiku
sports to play
exams to slay
birthdays to celebrate
And debates to moderate
meals to make
breaks to take
There are dreams to believe
And goals to achieve
And all the while
I need to keep my smile
This year
I have to learn from my oversights
So life can be full of many delights
I have a great many doors to open.
Lessons to plan — make them engaging.
Kids to care for — make them feel welcome.
Communities to build — make them feel safe.
This year I'll smell the grass and the leaves,
breathe the air that blows through the trees
Take a step back, and realize that I also have myself to please.
This year I'll try to make many quick decisions.
And try to be hopeful to avoid any mental collision.
Reach young children. Be a star.
Get down low. See eye to eye.
Be in the know
and by and by
Turn on the air purifier,
Open a window to set free yesterday's air.
Make this room be a place where we ignite possibility.
It's been a week and I've already
labeled all the folders, arranged our chairs in fours
Laminated calming posters, hung a hall pass by the door
A neighbor's old armchair, a soft pillow to hug
I put them in the corner next to the donated rug
I finished my Compliance Training in the nick of time
Checked out the pristine Wellness room, our new paradigm
I've printed out the rosters, found the copy room
Sent the boss my syllabus, including links to Zoom
I've got chocolate in my desk and coffee pods on the shelf
This year we're going to do it: take care of our mental health
This Year Shall Be Different
I will wait in line,
Raise my hand,
be respectful,
listen to my teacher.
learn the new curriculum
welcome my students
I will thrive
because...
I want to show them that they are worthy,
That no skin, muscle, heart, mind,
or way of loving makes them less worthy,
that the world is full of beautiful variety,
that the loss of any one is grievous to all,
that listening is a gift to the other,
that speaking is an act of courage,
that believing is as vital as breath
that discovering is more important than knowing
that loving is more important than being right
But if I had to choose just one thing
I think I'd be happy if I could just be with friends
and somehow some way, find myself again.

Typhoon Hinnamnor has forced POSCO to suspend its operations for the first time in 49 years. The steelmaker has sustained unprecedented damage from the typhoon and restoration will likely take more than half a year. If steel production is halted for a long time, the repercussions could spread to other industries as well.

This is what POSCO looked like on September 6th after it was hit by Typhoon Hinnamnor. It's hard to tell if it's a steel mill or a river.
[Soundbite] "Fire trucks can’t move forward due to the water current. It's too strong."
The typhoon has forced POSCO to halt its operations for the first time in 49 years. The steelmaker was able to restart its furnaces a week later. The manufacturing of steel semi-finished products has also been resumed. However, the government believes it will take more time to normalize POSCO operations completely.
[Soundbite] Jang Young-jin(Vice minister of Trade, Industry and Energy(Sept. 14)) : "The second hot-coil factory will likely take at least six months to restore."
The rolling line located by a stream that overflowed during the typhoon was hit the hardest. This is where steel semi-finished products are processed according to their use. It was inundated for nine days after the flash flood. POSCO says restoration is going to take three months. Companies relying on steel products could sustain damage one after another. POSCO is the only domestic producer of wire rods and stainless steel used in auto components as well as electrical sheets used in electric vehicle motors. The relevant sectors are worried they could sustain losses due to manufacturing disruptions. If steel production is suspended for a long time, other sectors including ship building and automotive sectors could also bear the brunt.
[Soundbite] (Automotive industry staff(VOICE MODIFIED)) : "We have inventories worth 1-3 months and we are focused on production. If the situation continues, we’ll have to consider other options."
POSCO produces about one-fourth of steel in Korea. The government is considering importing some products from the steelmaker's overseas corporations. POSCO is to announce the estimated amount of damage and manufacturing resumption plans this week.

Palestinian farmer discovers rare ancient treasure in Gaza
BUREIJ, Gaza Strip (AP) — Last spring, a Palestinian farmer was planting a new olive tree when his shovel hit a hard object. He called his son, and for three months, the pair slowly excavated an ornate Byzantine-era mosaic that experts say is one of the greatest archaeological treasures ever found in Gaza.
The discovery has set off excitement among archaeologists, and the territory’s Hamas rulers are planning a major announcement in the coming days.
But it is also drawing calls for better protection of Gaza’s antiquities, a fragile collection of sites threatened by a lack of awareness and resources as well as the constant risk of conflict between Israel and local Palestinian militants.
The mosaic was uncovered just a kilometer (half mile) from the Israeli border. The floor, boasting 17 iconographies of beasts and birds, is well-preserved and its colors are bright.
“These are the most beautiful mosaic floors discovered in Gaza, both in terms of the quality of the graphic representation and the complexity of the geometry,” said René Elter, an archaeologist from the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem.
“Never have mosaic floors of this finesse, this precision in the graphics and richness of the colors been discovered in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
Elter says the mosaic pavement dates back to a time between the 5th and the 7th centuries. But he said a proper excavation must be conducted to determine when exactly it was built and whether it was part of a religious or secular complex.
Elter, who has conducted research in Gaza in the past, has not been able to visit the site but viewed a series of photos and videos taken by local research partners.
The Gaza Strip, a Palestinian coastal enclave sandwiched between Israel and Egypt, was a bustling trade route between Egypt and the Levant in ancient times. The coastal strip is full of remains of ancient civilizations, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic and Ottoman eras.
However, the treasures are rarely protected. In the past, they were looted. In recent years, some were damaged or destroyed by development projects or fighting with Israel. An Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after the Hamas militant group took over Gaza in 2007 has ravaged the economy, leaving few resources for the protection of antiquities.
Hamas itself pays little attention to preserving the sites as it struggles to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. More than 2.3 million people are squeezed in the strip’s just 300 square kilometers (115 square miles). In 2017, Hamas bulldozers destroyed large parts of a site containing remains from a 4,500-year-old Bronze Age settlement to make housing projects for its employees.
Early this year, bulldozers digging for an Egyptian-funded housing project in northern Gaza unearthed a Roman-era tomb.
Among the few preserved sites in Gaza are the St. Hilarion monastery, which spans from the late Roman Empire to the Islamic Umayyad period, and the site of a Byzantine church that was restored by international aid organizations and opened this year in the northern Gaza Strip.
While these sites also have mosaics, Elter said the latest discovery, in the central Gaza town of Bureij, is “exceptional.”
The Hamas-run department of antiquities described the mosaic as “a big archaeological discovery” but refused to comment further, saying there will be a formal announcement later.
The owner of the land, who refused to be identified before the official announcement, has covered the unearthed portion of the mosaic floor with tin sheets. He said he hopes to receive compensation for protecting the unique discovery on his property.
The patch of land holding the mosaic is about 500 square meters (5,400 square feet) and three dug-out spots reveal glimpses of the mosaic.
The largest of the holes in the ground, about 2 meters by 3 meters (6 feet by 9 feet), has the 17 drawings of animals. The other two show intricate patterns of tiles. Roots of an old olive tree have damaged parts of the mosaic, which appears to be about 23 square meters (250 square feet) altogether in size.
Elter said the discovery is in “immediate danger” because it is so close to the Israeli separation fence.
Such areas along the fence are often the scene of intermittent clashes or Israeli incursions. Just last month, Israel and Gaza’s Islamic Jihad militant group fought a fierce three-day battle that included Israeli shelling of militant posts and the landing of some misfired Palestinian rockets in the area.
Elter also worries that excavations by inexperienced people could damage the site. His hope is a professional team can properly excavate, restore and protect the mosaic.
“It is imperative to quickly organize an emergency rescue intervention,” Elter said.

BEIJING, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Development and security are the common concerns of all countries, the pursuit of which is hampered by once-in-a-century global changes intertwined with the unprecedented pandemic.
In the Uzbek city of Samarkand, leaders from Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member countries along with multiple observer countries and dialogue partners are meeting in person from September 15 to 16, setting an example of how countries can better work with each other in the face of global challenges.
Having committed to building a community of a shared future, Chinese President Xi Jinping has proposed a series of initiatives for global development and security, contributing Chinese wisdom to solving the pressing problems now facing mankind. His proposals have been greeted with praise from the international community, not least the SCO countries.
Common security, development for all
At April's Boao Forum for Asia, President Xi proposed the Global Security Initiative (GSI), an idea taking security as the guiding principle, mutual respect as the fundamental requirement, indivisible security as the important principle and building a security community as the long-term goal, in order to foster a new type of security that replaces confrontation, alliance and a zero-sum approach with dialogue, partnership and win-win results.
During his bilateral meetings with world leaders in Samarkand, the Chinese president reiterated that countries should support each other on issues concerning sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and other core interests, echoing the GSI.
Xi also urged efforts to safeguard the security interests of the region as well as the common interests of developing countries and emerging markets during his talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying China and Russia need to enhance coordination under multilateral frameworks including the SCO, the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia and BRICS to promote solidarity and mutual trust among the various parties.
"In the face of changes of the world, of our times and of history, China will work with Russia to fulfill their responsibilities as major countries and play a leading role in injecting stability into a world of change and disorder," Xi told Putin.
At the General Debate of the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly in 2021, Xi put forward the Global Development Initiative (GDI), which emphasizes openness, coordination and sharing.
Xi, during his bilateral meetings in Samarkand, repeatedly voiced China's willingness to expand cooperation with other countries and build stronger synergy between respective development strategies so as to help achieve common development and prosperity.
Leaders endorsed the GSI and GDI during their talks with Xi. Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov on Thursday said he viewed both as important initiatives for promoting world peace and development, while President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov said the initiatives were conducive to achieving the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.
Usher in a better future
This year marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Kazakhstan as well as between China and Uzbekistan. On Wednesday and Thursday, President Xi paid state visits to both two countries, bringing bilateral ties to a higher level.
Both Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have been a part of the ancient Silk Road linking Asia and Europe. Now the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by Xi has carried forward that spirit across the Eurasian continent, bringing SCO members even closer.
The import and export of goods between China and Kazakhstan totaled $25.25 billion in 2021, up 17.6 percent year on year, and the trade volume between China and Uzbekistan amounted to $8.05 billion in 2021, up 21.6 percent from 2020, showing bilateral cooperation has withstood the test of the pandemic and shown strong resilience.
The unbreakable friendship between China and Kazakhstan will contribute to the growth of positive and progressive forces in the world and to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi told Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Wednesday.
Tokayev hailed Xi's visit as a new milestone in the history of Kazakhstan-China relations, adding the BRI has become an important engine driving the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on Thursday called the Chinese president's state visit "historic," saying it would help consolidate the traditional friendship between the two countries, chart a course for future cooperation, and elevate the bilateral partnership to a new height featuring new vitality and new prospects.
Xi further noted that China and Central Asian countries have a shared future and a deep stake in each other's security and stability, and called for efforts to building a more just and equitable international governance system during talks with other leaders.

Ticket Editor: Best waterfront restaurants, bars and beaches to visit on Anna Maria Island
It's the perfect time to visit the charming island cities of Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria.
I'm not exactly 100 percent sure I should share this information, but right now is the perfect time to visit Anna Maria Island. The bridges leading to the island from Longboat Key and Bradenton's Cortez Road and Manatee Avenue have all been clear on recent evenings and even weekend afternoons. In fact, we've even been easily finding parking spaces on bustling Bridge Street and the equally popular Pine Avenue.
And, did you notice, there's a certain coolness in the evening air lately? Yeah, that would be the foreign feeling we haven't experienced without the help of air conditioning in about five months! Anyway, the better weather should be nice, especially if you're attending any of the fun, outdoor events taking place this weekend in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. These include a "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day" party at Anna Maria Island's Freckled Fin, one of my favorite Irish pubs in Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice.

It's always a good time, though, to visit Freckled Fin, which is located in the city of Holmes Beach. For those unfamiliar with Anna Maria Island, it's an approximately seven-mile long barrier island on the coast of Manatee County — just south of Tampa Bay and west of downtown Bradenton's newly expanded Riverwalk — containing three small, charming cities. From south to north, they are Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, and Anna Maria.
I visited all three island cities multiple times for my recent story about the best burgers on Anna Maria Island. You'll find everything from delicious diner-style to gourmet burgers. They're served at seven eateries ranging from a more upscale restaurant, which also serves some of Sarasota-Manatee's best seafood, to a concession stand found on the end of the iconic Anna Maria City Pier.

Bucket list:100 fun things to do in Bradenton area including restaurants, bars, beaches!
Anna Maria Island is also home to several of my favorite sports bars in Sarasota and Manatee, with two just down the road from each other on Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach. Another, which also made my best burger list, is in the city of Anna Maria. Craving quality BBQ? You'll find an outstanding, globe-trotting barbecue restaurant on the island in the city of Bradenton Beach.
Really, though, you can't visit Anna Maria Island without having a drink or an entire meal while overlooking the Gulf of Mexico or Intracoastal Waterway, perhaps with your toes right in the sand while enjoying one of our amazing sunsets. Five of Anna Maria Island's most famous destinations recently made our list of best beach bars, with even more featured on our list of best waterfront restaurants. These are truly among my favorite places to visit on the planet.
And then what about the actual beaches on this gorgeous barrier island? Anna Maria Island is home to three of my favorite beaches in the Sarasota-Manatee region. All are open to the public and with free parking — which, again, is much easier to to find these days — and there's one each in the cities of Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria. Oh, yeah, and don't forget to look for celebrities while visiting Anna Maria Island, as many have homes in our Sarasota-Manatee area and even right on the island.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A British man accused by Denmark of masterminding a $1.7 billion tax fraud has been ordered by a Dubai court to pay Copenhagen’s tax authority $1.25 billion, court filings seen Friday show, just days after another Dubai court rejected an extradition order for him.
The order by the Dubai Court of Appeal against Sanjay Shah comes as part of a civil case filed four years ago by Denmark’s tax authority, who have been pursuing him as part of their investigation in one of the country’s largest-ever tax fraud case.
Shah has maintained his innocence in the case while fighting extradition. Lawyers representing Shah in the separate civil case did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
Denmark has accused Shah of masterminding an elaborate tax scheme for three years beginning in 2012 involving foreign businesses pretending to own shares in Danish companies and claiming tax refunds for which they were not eligible.
The Danish tax authority, Skattestyrelsen, filed the civil case against Shah in 2018 through a local Dubai law firm. In its decision Wednesday, the Dubai Court of Appeal said Denmark had sought $1.9 billion from Shah and his alleged accomplices.
Shah’s lifestyle on Dubai’s luxurious palm-shaped island over the past few years had sparked outrage in Denmark. After Danish authorities signed an extradition agreement with the UAE, Dubai police arrested Shah in June. Shah is one of several suspects in the tax scheme sought by Danish authorities.
During his time in Dubai, the hedge fund manager ran a center for autistic children that shut down in 2020 as Denmark tried to extradite him. He also oversaw a British-based charity, Autism Rocks, which raised funds through concerts and performances.
On Monday, another Dubai court ruled Shah cannot be extradited to Denmark to face charges. Lawyers representing Shah in the case told The Associated Press on Thursday that prosecutors had filed an appeal seeking to overturn that decision.
The extradition case targeting Shah comes as pressure grows on Dubai, the region’s financial hub, over its alleged weaknesses in combating illicit finance.
The UAE, a federation of seven emirates, has long invited the wealthy, including disgraced public figures, to invest in the country without questioning where they made their money. Scrutiny of Dubai has intensified as the flashy city-state becomes a haven for Russian money amid Moscow’s war on Ukraine.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The NHL and players remain committed to hosting a World Cup of Hockey in February 2024 even as they work through some unexpected logistical challenges.
Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly, Mathieu Schneider from the Players’ Association and their staffs are working daily to attempt to overcome hurdles related to staging part of the tournament in Europe. The plan is to split games between Europe and North America, once the International Ice Hockey Federation and various national teams get on board.
Even if that doesn’t happen, a World Cup is still possible.
“We’re still planning on this happening,” Daly told The Associated Press on Thursday at the NHL/NHLPA player media tour. “Worst case, even, we think we have the ability to make it happen just ourselves. Even if we don’t have the full cooperation of kind of the European entities that we want to work with, we have the ability to pull this off and execute it ourselves. And if the players want it bad enough, and it seems they do, I don’t see anything getting in the way of that.”
Schneider, NHLPA special assistant to the executive director and a retired defenseman, made it clear players do want the tournament to take place and expressed optimism about getting an agreement done.
“It’s going to take a little bit longer than we had hoped,” he said at the NHLPA rookie showcase last week. “The federations are on board, especially because we haven’t been in the last couple Olympics and I think everybody is just dying for it. It’s just trying to piece it together. We’ll get there. We’ll get there.”
Because the NHL has not participated in the past two Olympics, the best players in the world haven’t faced off since the World Cup in 2016. And that tournament included a Team Europe made up of players from various countries and a Team North America with U.S. and Canadian players 23 and under.
“That was fun and cool to be a part of, but it’s not anything like playing for your country,” said Edmonton captain Connor McDavid, who hasn’t represented Canada since the world championships in 2018. “I think the NHL, and hockey in general, has missed out on a huge chunk of international play and best-on-best play. That would have been really, really special.”
“We need to figure out a way to get an international tournament in as quickly as possible.”
The league and NHLPA need to work quickly to finalize what they envision as an eight-team tournament, which Daly said could include some type of play-in round.
A decision has not yet been made about what to do about Russia amid the country’s war in Ukraine. There is still time before that determination needs to be made.
“I certainly don’t feel like we’re up against a wall today to have to make that decision,” Daly said. “But as a practical reality, at some point prior to February of ’24 we’re going to have to make that decision. I couldn’t tell you sitting here whether it’s in a month or 12 months. At some point in the relatively near future, we’ll start making those decisions.”
The decision has been made to play some games in Europe, which is different than 2016 when the entire World Cup took place in Toronto.
“People want to see games in Europe,” Schneider said. “Players want to play games in Europe. It’s really trying to grow the game and create that excitement.”
February is also the chosen timeframe after the 2016 tournament was in September, a combination of a crowded fall sports landscape and the desire for better play on the ice.
“The quality of the hockey will be better because the players will be in midseason form, and it’s the right time of the year,” Daly said. “Our fans are kind of conditioned to want to see hockey in February. We think from that standpoint, it’s probably the right time. If you add to that our understanding, if not commitment to participate in the Olympics on a regular basis, it fits.”
Players would like to make Olympic participation routine like it was from 1998 through 2014. American center Jack Eichel responded, “Don’t hold your breath” when told of World Cup plans, but he agrees with Team North America teammate McDavid about the benefits of making another international competition happen.
“He’s spot on with that, and I think every guy in the league would probably agree,” Eichel said. “Whether it’s representing your country or having the opportunity to play against the world’s best, everyone wants to do it.”
OUTDOOR FIRST
The NHL plans to have fans on the field around the rink during the outdoor Stadium Series game in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Feb. 18 between the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes.
The league’s vision involves a DJ, bars and a party scene similar to the infield at auto and some horse races, which has yet to be done during an outdoor hockey game.

The Maryland State Fair set an attendance record during the first year that the event was held over three long weekends, organizers said.
Helped also by pleasant weather, attendance increased by 16% this year, bringing in a total of 588,120 fairgoers between Thursday nights and Sundays, including Labor Day, according to a news release.
Previously the event took place over 12 consecutive days, but fair organizers said earlier start dates for many Maryland schools inspired the new format, allowing youth in 4-H/Future Farmers of America and Open Class to show attendees their agricultural skills and knowledge.
“The Maryland State Fair and Agricultural Society’s mission is agriculture education. We moved to this new format because we did not want the 4-H/FFA youth to have to choose between going to school and exhibiting at the Maryland State Fair,” Maryland State Fair General Manager D. Andrew Cashman said in a statement.
Youth at the fair’s 4-H/FFA livestock sale raised $177,500, a record amount, which will go to 70 young people for a 2023 project or other educational purposes. The Maryland State Fair and Agricultural Society also gave away $31,000 in college scholarships.
The fair included new events this year, such as the LIVE! OnTrack! concert series featuring performances by Nelly, Niko Moon, Lauren Alaina and Styx. The first-ever longhorn cattle show in the Cow Palace had more than 50 entries, and the champion livestock show allowed people with special needs to learn about goats.
Farmer Stan’s “Garden Grilled Cheese” won the fair’s new fair food contest with an open-faced grilled cheese sandwich with fried green tomatoes, accompanied by a corn and peach salsa. Along with a trophy and a ribbon, the winner received a $500 gift card to the Restaurant Store and a crab feast for six employees as a prize.

Erik ten Hag suggested Manchester United are open to strengthening their squad in the January transfer window as he prepares for the September international break.
Ten Hag is due to attend meetings on transfer plans for next year and confirmed United would use the pause in the club calendar to address their structure.
United play 13 games in 42 days, starting with the Manchester derby at City on October 2, before the season is suspended for the World Cup.

Fifteen United players are away on international duty this month but United at least have the benefit of playing City on the Sunday after the September internationals.
"Always to use such breaks [is] useful," Ten Hag told MUTV. "We have many meetings, we have to improve the structures in and around the club, we will do.
"We will also look to the window in January or next summer already but also to improve our way of playing by making plans and, of course, this coming period with every third day a game we have to get ready for that.
"The players: 90% is away, the others will train proper and for the rest we have to prepare very well and I hope everyone stays fit, return, healthy back and we have to go in and attack."
United are eyeing a right-back, a midfielder and a forward as part of the next phase of their squad rebuild, while a long-term goalkeeper could also come under consideration depending on the situation with David de Gea and Dean Henderson, on a season-long loan at Nottingham Forest.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday signed an executive order that administration officials say aims to sharpen the national security considerations taken in the federal government’s review process for foreign investment in the United States.
Administration officials said the the order will bolster oversight by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, an interagency group tasked with reviewing deals and mergers involving foreign people and entities.
The committee, known as CFIUS, is made up of members of the departments of State, Defense, Justice, Commerce, Energy and Homeland Security and is led by the Treasury secretary. It sends its findings and a recommendation to the president, who has the power to suspend or prohibit a deal.
While the White House said the new order is not targeted toward any particular country, it comes amid growing concern among U.S. officials about China’s investments in the U.S. technology sector and other industries.
The order calls for CFIUS to weigh whether a foreign investment or sale could affect the resilience of critical U.S. supply chains and the impact it could have on U.S. technological leadership in areas affecting U.S. national security and on broader investment trends.
It also calls on CFIUS to consider cybersecurity risks that could stem from a transaction and stipulates that the risks to U.S. residents’ sensitive data should also be considered.
“President Biden’s executive order highlights CFIUS’s increasing attention to national security risks in several key areas and sharpens the committee’s focus on protecting America’s national security, while maintaining the U.S. open investment policy,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. “Strengthening our supply chains and protecting against foreign threats enhances our national security, and this executive order highlights CFIUS’s important role in that work.”
Biden’s executive order comes after CFIUS’ oversight role of foreign investment was significantly expanded by 2018 legislation passed by Congress.
CFIUS already has been considering many of the criteria laid out in Biden’s executive order, according to senior administration officials, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House. But the officials added that the administration hopes by publicly highlighting and sharpening the committee’s focus on what the administration sees as emerging risks, it will give greater clarity to businesses and investors as they look at national security risks that may arise from a potential transaction.
Before the 2018 legislation, CFIUS investigated cases in which a foreign company’s attempt to acquire or merge with an American company could pose a national security risk. The 2018 legislation expanded CFIUS’ oversight to review certain joint ventures, minority stakes and real estate deals near military bases or other sensitive national security facilities.
The legislation was prompted by complaints Chinese companies were taking advantage of gaps in U.S. law and improperly obtaining technology and possibly sensitive information. U.S. lawmakers also have expressed concern that Chinese companies were using joint ventures with foreign companies or minority stakes in ventures to gain access to sensitive technology.
An annual Treasury Department report released in August showed Chinese investors more than doubled the number of applications they filed in 2021 seeking U.S. regulatory clearance for proposed deals.

Queen Elizabeth II Lying-in-state: Entry to queue paused as waiting time reaches 14 hours
King Charles III confirmed Her Majesty’s funeral will be a bank holiday
People wishing to pay respects to Her Majesty the Queen have been warned not to attempt to rejoin the queue until it reopens.
The queue to see the coffin, which is currently Lying-in-state at Westminster Hall, has been paused for around six hours.
On the morning of Friday, 16 September, the queue reached five miles long to see Her Majesty, and shortly after, it was revealed that the 14-hour queue was “close to capacity”.
Most Popular
At 9:52am, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: “Her Majesty The Queen’s Lying-in-state queue update.
“Southwark Park has reached capacity. Entry will be paused for at least six hours. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
“Please do not attempt to join the queue until it re-opens.
“Check back for further updates.”
The queue remained at around five miles long for most of the night, with Southwark listed as the closest landmark.
Firefighters were seen handing out water bottles along the route, as the line started to creep towards full capacity.
Her Majesty will remain Lying-in-state at Westminster Hall until Monday, 19 September, the day of her state funeral.
The doors at Westminster Hall will remain open until 6:30am, four and a half hours before the state funeral begins.
How to join the queue
When the queue re-opens later today, you will join the back of the queue and be issued with a coloured wristband.
The wristband is strictly non-transferable, and will be checked along the route.
If you have to leave the queue for any reason, the wristband will secure your place, allowing you to return to the place you left.
Once inside, taking any footage is strictly prohibited and not allowed.

The Queen lying in state queue: What is the queue route at the lying in state? Are dogs allowed within the Palace of Westminster?
The lying in state queuing will start on Wednesday, September 14, and the government has announced the exact route visitors will take before filing past Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin inside Westminster Hall.
Visitors joining the queue to visit The Queen’s coffin have been warned that queuing times are expected to be very long. People will have to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little chance to sit down, as the queue will continue moving.
The queue may also close early to make sure as many people as possible can enter the Palace before the lying in state period comes to a close.
Estimate waiting times for the queue are between 17 and 35 hours and mourners have been told not to camp in advance of the ceremonial processional day.
Most Popular
Lying in state will take place from Wednesday, September 14 evening until the early hours of The Queen’s funeral on Monday, September 19.
What is The Queen lying in state queue route?
The queue will start where Albert Embankment meets Lambeth Bridge in Central London, on the south side of the River Thames.
From Albert Embankment, the queue will continue along the south bank of the Thames.
We have provided a map of the route in this article for easy use.
Are dogs allowed at the lying in state?
The security search point and Palace of Westminster have step-free access.
Only guide dogs, hearing dogs and other official assistance dogs are allowed within the Palace of Westminster. No other animals are permitted.
What accessibility facilities are available for the lying in state queue?
There is step-free access along the queue route for those who need it.
Once you have joined the back of the queue, signs along the route will alert you when the queue is approaching steps. At these points, tell a steward if you are unable to use the steps and they will escort you to a step-free route and return you to your place in the main queue.
Wheelchairs cannot be provided.
British Sign Language interpreters will be available to people joining the queue.
There is also an accessible queuing process for those with a disability or long-term condition where they are unable to queue for long periods of time.
The accessible queuing scheme will be open at 5pm on September 14. However, there will be limited capacity for the accessible queue every day, so entrance may not be guaranteed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden plans to meet at the White House on Friday with family members of WNBA star Brittney Griner and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan, both of whom remain jailed in Russia, the White House announced Thursday.
“He wanted to let them know that they remain front of mind and that his team is working on this every day, on making sure that Brittney and Paul return home safely,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at Thursday’s press briefing at the White House.
The separate meetings are to be the first in-person encounter between Biden and the families and are taking place amid sustained but so far unsuccessful efforts by the administration to secure the Americans’ release. The administration said in July that it had made a “substantial proposal” to get them home, but despite plans for the White House meetings, there is no sign a breakthrough is imminent.
“While I would love to say that the purpose of this meeting is to inform the families that the Russians have accepted our offer and we are bringing their loved ones home — that is not what we’re seeing in these negotiations at this time,” Jean-Pierre said.
She added: “The Russians should accept our offer. The Russians should accept our offer today.”
Griner has been held in Russia since February on drug-related charges. She was sentenced last month to nine years in prison after pleading guilty and has appealed the punishment. Whelan is serving a 16-year sentence on espionage-related charges that he and his family say are false. The U.S. government regards both as wrongfully detained, placing their cases with the office of its top hostage negotiator.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken took the unusual step of announcing two months ago that the administration had made a substantial proposal to Russia. Since then, U.S officials have continued to press that offer in hopes of getting serious negotiations underway, and have been following up through the same channel that produced an April prisoner swap that brought Marine veteran Trevor Reed home from Russia, said a senior administration official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity in advance of Thursday’s formal announcement.
The negotiations, already strained because of tense relations between Washington and Moscow over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have also been complicated by Russia’s apparent resistance to the proposal the Americans put on the table.
The Russians, who have indicated that they are open to negotiations but have chided the Americans to conduct them in private, have come back with suggestions that are not within the administration’s ability to deliver, said the administration official, declining to elaborate.
The administration has not provided specifics about its proposal, but a person familiar with the matter previously confirmed it had offered to release Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms dealer who is imprisoned in the U.S. and who has long been sought by Moscow. It is also possible that, in the interests of symmetry, Russia might insist on having two of its citizens released from prison.
Biden spoke by phone in July with Griner’s wife, Cherelle, and with Whelan’s sister, Elizabeth, but both families have also requested in-person meetings. On Friday, Biden plans to speak at the White House with Cherelle Griner and with the player’s agent in one meeting and with Elizabeth Whelan in the other, according to the official.
The meetings are being done separately so as to ensure that each family has private time with the president. But the fact that they are happening on the same day shows the extent to which the two cases have become intertwined since the only deal that is presumably palatable to the U.S. is one that gets both Americans — a famous WNBA player and a Michigan man who until recently was little known to the public — home together at the same time,
In the past several months, representatives of both families have expressed frustration over what they perceived as a lack of aggressive action and coordination from the administration.
Cherelle Griner, for instance, told The Associated Press in an interview in June that she was dismayed after the failure of a phone call from her wife that was supposed to have been patched through by the American Embassy in Moscow left the couple unable to connect on their fourth anniversary.
Whelan’s relatives have sought to keep attention on his case, anxious that it has been overshadowed in the public eye by the focus on the far more prominent Griner — a two-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time WNBA all-star. They also conveyed disappointment when Whelan, despite having been held in Russia since December 2018, was not included in a prisoner swap last April that brought home Reed.
Friday’s meetings were scheduled before news broke this week of an unconnected trip to Russia by Bill Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has been a veteran emissary in hostage and detainee cases. Administration officials reacted coolly to that trip, with State Department spokesman Ned Price saying Wednesday that dialogue with Russia outside the “established channel” risks hindering efforts to get Griner and Whelan home.
Administration officials say work on hostage and detainee cases persists regardless of whether a family receives a meeting with the president, though there is also no question such an encounter can help establish a meaningful connection.
Biden met in the Oval Office in March with Reed’s parents after the Texas couple stood with a large sign outside the White House calling for their son’s release. The following month, he returned home.

Was it ever going to be anyone else? Erling Haaland is named Premier League Player of the Month for August after nine-goal start at Man City... but can you name the other NINE players to win in their debut month?
- Norwegian has hit the ground running in startling start to Premier League life
- Erling Haaland has 10 goals in his opening seven games including two hat-tricks
- Manchester City sit second in the league one point behind leaders Arsenal
Erling Haaland has been named Premier League Player of the Month for August after astonishing first few weeks in England.
The Norwegian arrived at Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund to much fanfare this summer and has duly delivered, scoring nine goals in his opening five games across August before making that 10 in six as September rolled around.
Having endured a difficult afternoon in City's Community Shield defeat to Liverpool at the end of July, Haaland took little time to bed into the Premier League, scoring twice on his league debut away at West Ham.
Erling Haaland has enjoyed a stellar start to life at Manchester City and has won his first Player of the Month award
After firing a blank at home to Bournemouth, a game in which he enjoyed just eight touches of the ball in a comprehensive 4-0 win, Haaland duly returned to the score sheet with a goal at St James' Park.
Returning to the Etihad, Haaland scored the first of his two hat-tricks, this time against Crystal Palace.
More follows.

BERLIN, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The PCK Schwedt refinery in eastern Germany, which has been brought under state control under Germany's energy security law, can continue to operate but not at full capacity, a spokesperson for the economy ministry said on Friday.

Armenia said Friday that at least 135 of its troops died in border clashes with Azerbaijan this week, bringing the overall toll to more than 200 following the countries' worst fighting in two years.
Both sides accuse each other of initiating the clashes, which erupted on Tuesday and ended with international mediation overnight on Thursday.
The Caucasus neighbours have fought two wars -- in 2020 and in the 1990s -- over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, Azerbaijan's Armenian-populated enclave.
Analysts say this week's latest escalation has largely undone recent EU efforts to bring Baku and Yerevan closer to a peace agreement.
"For the moment, the number of dead is 135," Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told a cabinet meeting on Friday.
"Unfortunately, it is not the final figure. There are also many wounded."
Azerbaijan has reported 71 deaths among its troops.
It was the worst fighting since the two countries fought a six-week war in 2020 and comes with Armenia's closest ally Moscow distracted by its nearly seven-month war in Ukraine.
Armenia's security council said the violence ended late Thursday "thanks to international mediation" after earlier failed attempts by Moscow to broker a truce.
The clashes also forced hundreds of Armenian civilians to flee their homes, Armenia's rights ombudsperson has said.
A delegation of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), a Moscow-led grouping of ex-Soviet republics, arrived in Yerevan on Thursday evening, Armenia's defence ministry said.
Transport sticking point
Armenia is a member of CSTO but Azerbaijan is not.
On Tuesday, Armenia's security council asked for military help from Moscow, which is obliged under the treaty to defend Armenia in the event of a foreign invasion.
With Moscow increasingly isolated on the world stage following its February invasion of Ukraine, the European Union had taken a lead role in mediating the Armenia-Azerbaijan normalisation process.
During EU-mediated talks in Brussels in May and April, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Pashinyan agreed to "advance discussions" on a future peace treaty.
They last met in Brussels on August 31, for talks mediated by the European Council President Charles Michel.
The talks also focus on border delimitation and the reopening of transport links.
The issue of ensuring a land transport link between Turkic-speaking Azerbaijan and its ally Ankara via Armenian territory has emerged as the primary sticking point.
Azerbaijan insists on Yerevan renouncing its jurisdiction over the land corridor that should pass along Armenia's border with Iran -- a demand the Armenian government rejects as an affront to its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The six weeks of fighting in 2020 claimed the lives of more than 6,500 troops from both sides and ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire.
Under the deal, Armenia ceded swathes of territory it had controlled for decades, and Moscow deployed about 2,000 Russian peacekeepers to oversee the fragile truce.
Ethnic Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. The ensuing conflict claimed around 30,000 lives.

Drunken father-of-four sergeant, 42, 'put his hand up young female soldier's very revealing dress and squeezed her bottom' in unit's first night out after Covid 'as he told her: 'You're going to get me into trouble''
- A Staff Sergeant allegedly groped a junior female soldier's bottom on a night out
- A court martial heard Adam Porter, 42, reportedly smirked after the incident
- The father-of-four said he may have 'brushed her' but denies sexual assault
A drunk staff sergeant 'smirked' as he put his hand up a young female soldier's dress and squeezed her bottom for several seconds on a work night out, a court martial heard.
Staff Sergeant Adam Porter, 42, allegedly told the shocked woman 'it feels nice doesn't it' as he pinched her left buttock, before he quickly backtracked and said: 'I shouldn't have done that should I?'
Moments earlier the father-of-four, spotted the junior soldier wearing 'a very revealing dress' and allegedly said 'you're going to get me into trouble'.
He admitted to having had a bottle of white wine, tequila shots and opening a bottle of port. He told the court he 'could have accidentally brushed her'.
SSgt Porter, of the 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, who has served in the Army for 24 years, denies a single charge of sexual assault.
Staff Sergeant Adam Porter, 42, (pictured at Bulford Court Martial) allegedly 'smirked' as he put his hand up a young female soldier's dress and squeezed her bottom
Bulford Military Court, Wiltshire, heard the incident took place at a pub as soldiers from the regiment enjoyed their first post-Covid work celebration.
Prosecutor Colonel Grant Davies said: 'SSgt Porter touched the complainant in a sexual way without her consent.
'She was in a knee length, floaty dress and saw SSgt Porter, who was quite likely intoxicated.
'He said words to the effect of "you're going to get me into trouble".
'She was at the bar when SSgt Porter came and stood next to her and a round of drinks were bought. Shortly after, he put his hand under her skirt onto her buttock, squeezed and said words to the effect of "feels nice doesn't it".
'She was shocked - and then Porter said words to the effect of "I shouldn't have done that should I".'
The female soldier, who was much more junior than SSgt Porter, told the court she had work the next day so 'didn't want to get too drunk' that evening.
SSgt Porter allegedly told the junior female soldier that she was going to 'get him in trouble'
The junior female soldier said she had a normal conversation with SSgt Porter earlier in the evening and they were having shots at the bar.
At which point he was allegedly drunk and slurring his words and began pointing at females and making crass statements.
She said: 'Then SSgt Porter said "I'm going to f*** you" [to me]. He said "you're going to get me into trouble". I think it was in a flirty way... that I needed to stay away from him.'
After the shots the other people went away and the woman was left alone with SSgt Porter at the bar.
She continued: 'I was facing the bar and he put his hand up my dress. Then I felt him squeeze my bum and then he took his hand away.
'I recall him smirking while he did it.'
She said SSgt Porter squeezed her left buttock for 'two or three seconds' with his right hand.
'It was a skin on skin contact,' she added, and SSgt Porter reportedly used his 'full hand' to 'cup' her bottom.
'He pulled his hand away and said "it feels nice that doesn't it",' she added.
'Two seconds later he quickly went into saying "I shouldn't have done that should I?" - because he knew it was wrong.
'I was a bit shocked and didn't know what to do.'
SSgt Porter said: 'I could have accidentally brushed her - or it's certainly feasibly that I touched her'
The court martial heard a formal complaint wasn't raised until three months later when one of her friends told a senior officer.
When asked why she hadn't complained sooner the female soldier said she 'didn't trust' her chain of command at the time, saying they were mostly male, friends and 'cliquey'.
A Lance Bombardier who had been in the pub that night told the court SSgt Porter was being 'very flirtatious' with the female soldier and whispering in her ear at the bar before groping her.
He said: 'I was stood at the bar and she was stood to the right of me - and SSgt Porter came to the right of her.
'I saw his hand go up her skirt and I believe she was groped.'
The court heard that when interviewed by military police, SSgt Porter claimed he simply 'may have tapped her to remind her to buy a round'.
SSgt Porter, who has one daughter with his partner, and three from their previous relationships, told the court he 'didn't remember' any contact between the two of them that evening and insisted it had not happened.
The senior soldier, who had drunk a bottle of white wine, several tequila shots and cracked open a bottle of port, admitted he was 'well on his way' after the shots.
He explained the pub was small and packed, saying: 'I could have accidentally brushed her - or it's certainly feasibly that I touched her - if that occurred it would have 100 per cent been accidental.'
When asked how his seniority could affect their dynamic, he said: 'The three stripes and the crown can be daunting.'
Prosecuting Col Davies said: 'Regardless of whether you were wearing your uniform touching [a junior rank] - or anyone - is utterly wrong.
'She has no reason to lie - neither does [the eye witness].'
SSgt Porter said his relationship with the complainant before the incident had been 'amicable'.
When asked about what she had been wearing, SSgt Porter said: 'She was wearing a very revealing dress.'
The trial continues.

Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until September 16, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to a filed complaint, TG Therapeutics, Inc. issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) clinical trials revealed significant concerns related to the benefit-risk ratio and overall survival data of the Company's therapeutic product candidates, Ublituximab and Umbralisib; (ii) accordingly, it was unlikely that the Company would be able to obtain approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the Umbralisib marginal zone lymphoma and follicular lymphoma New Drug Application, the Biologics License Application for Ublituximab in combination with Umbralisib, the supplemental New Drug Application for Ublituximab in combination with Umbralisib, or the Ublituximab relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis Biologics License Application in their current forms; (iii) as a result, the Company had significantly overstated Ublituximab and Umbralisib's clinical and/or commercial prospects; and (iv) therefore, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Grammy-nominated hip-hop performer Mystikal is scheduled for arraignment on charges accusing him of raping and choking a woman, and illegally possessing drugs at his Louisiana home.
Charges the performer will face during his arraignment Monday will include first-degree rape, which carries an automatic life sentence if Tyler is convicted.
“My client is innocent of all charges,” attorney Joel Pearce said in a text message Thursday. He said the rapper, whose given name is Michael Tyler, had a court order to protect him from the woman, and he is “the true victim.”
Pearce said he hopes he will be allowed to present evidence supporting bond for Tyler, who has been held without bond since the end of July. A judge denied bond on Aug. 4, but Pearce, who did not then represent the performer, said it was not a full bond hearing that would take evidence in Tyler’s favor.
Tyler was arrested July 31 on charges accusing him of choking and raping the woman at his home in Prairieville, an Ascension Parish community of about 33,000 near Baton Rouge.
A news release Wednesday from the district attorney’s office said Tyler was indicted last week on 10 counts including rape, domestic abuse battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. Investigators who searched his home found “evidence to corroborate the victim’s account of the rape along with a variety of illegal narcotics,” the statement said.
An Ascension Parish grand jury brought the charges in two indictments handed up Sept. 6, The Advocate reported.
District Attorney Ricky Babin said in an email that because they are part of an ongoing criminal matter, the indictments are not public records under state law.
Pearce represented Tyler on rape and kidnapping charges that prosecutors in northwest Louisiana dropped in December 2020. Those charges, brought in 2017, had kept him jailed nearly 18 months before he was released on $3 million bond.
Mystikal told The Associated Press in April 2021 that he now is proud of lyrics he can imagine rapping to God.
His 2000 hit “Shake (It Fast) earned a 2001 Grammy nomination for best rap solo. In 2003, his “Tarantula” was nominated for best rap album and the single “Bouncin’ Back” for best male rap solo.
He pleaded guilty to sexual battery later in 2003. He served six years in prison.

A fresh defamation trial for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that began this week could offer slivers of insight into the effectiveness of "deplatforming" — the booting of undesirable accounts from social media sites.
This trial, in Connecticut, is the second of three trials Jones faces for promoting lies on his streaming TV show and Infowars website that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax. The victims' families, whom Jones called "crisis actors," have faced harassment, threats and psychological abuse. In August, a Texas jury awarded family members $45.2 million in damages, though Jones says he intends to appeal the decision.
Jones, a serial conspiracist and fabulist, was kicked off almost all major internet and social media platforms in 2018 after he threatened then-special counsel Robert Mueller, who was investigating then-President Donald Trump's ties to Russia. Initially, a round of media coverage touted flagging traffic to Jones' websites as evidence that "deplatforming works." However, revelations from Jones' defamation trials may point to the existence of a rarified class of extreme internet personalities who are better shielded from efforts to stem the reach of their content.
In the Connecticut trial, a corporate representative for Jones' companies has testified that Infowars may have generated anywhere from $100 million to $1 billion in revenue in the years since the Sandy Hook massacre. Testifying during the previous trial in Texas, Jones told the court that Infowars earned around $70 million in revenue in the most recent fiscal year, up from an estimated $53 million in 2018, the year Infowars was broadly deplatformed.
The difference between Jones and many of the other right-wing actors who have been deplatformed, says political scientist Rebekah Tromble, who directs George Washington University's Institute for Data, Democracy & Politics, "is that Infowars had an existing infrastructure outside of social media."
Infowars makes about 80% of its revenue selling products, mostly dietary supplements, according to court filings from the largest of Jones' nine private companies. He grew his talk radio audience aided by an early partnership with a sympathetic distributor and now owns his own network and independent video-streaming site.
A growing body of research suggests deplatforming toxic actors or online communities does usually reduce audience size significantly, with the caveat that this smaller audience migrates to less regulated platforms, where extremism then concentrates, along with the potential for violence.
Gauging the effectiveness of deplatforming is complicated, in part because the word itself can refer to different things, says Megan Squire, a computer scientist who analyzes extremist online communities for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"There's losing your site infrastructure, losing your social media, losing your banking. So like the big three, I would say," says Squire. She says they've all had different impacts depending on the specific case.
Squire's research shows that traffic to Jones' online Infowars Store remained steady for about a year and a half after he was removed from major social media sites. It then declined during 2020 until the lead-up to that year's presidential election and its violent aftermath, when the Infowars Store's traffic saw a massive spike that reached levels Jones hadn't seen since two years before his deplatforming.
Jones' resilience is more of an exception than the rule, says Squire. She points to the case of Andrew Anglin, founder of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer. Following the violent 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., he lost his web domain and has had to cycle through 14 more, losing traffic each time. Squire says Anglin is on the run from various lawsuits, which include a ruling that he owes $14 million in damages for terrorizing a Jewish woman and her family.
Post-deplatforming survival strategies
Even after social media bans, conspiracists like Jones find workarounds. Squire says it's common for other users to host the banned personality on their own channels or simply repost the banned person's content. People can rebrand, or they can direct their audience to an alternative platform. After bans from companies including YouTube and PayPal, white supremacist livestreamer Nick Fuentes ultimately built his own video-streaming service where he encouraged his audience to kill lawmakers in the lead-up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Other internet communities have shown similar resilience. A popular pro-Trump message forum known as TheDonald was banished from Reddit and later shut down by a subsequent owner after the Capitol riot and yet is now more active than ever, according to Squire. When Trump himself was banned from Twitter, Squire watched as the messaging app Telegram gained tens of thousands of new users. It remains a thriving online space for right-wing celebrities and hate groups.
As for raising money, even if extremists are completely cut off from financial institutions that process credit cards or donations, they can always turn to cryptocurrency.
"100% of these guys are in crypto," says Squire, which, she notes, is not necessarily easy to live off. Its value is volatile, and cashing it in is not always straightforward. Still, Squire and her colleagues have found anonymous donors using crypto to funnel millions of dollars to Jones and Fuentes.
"We live in a capitalist society. And who says that entrepreneurs cannot be on the conspiracy side of things as well?" says Robert Goldberg, a history professor with the University of Utah. He points out that conspiracy peddlers have always been "incredibly savvy" with whatever fresh technology is available to them.
"The Klan's Atlanta, Georgia, headquarters would sell hoods and robes and all this merchandise, this mark, this bling, if you will, to the 5 to 6 million people who joined the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s," he says. But aside from the heyday of the KKK, Goldberg says, selling conspiratorial materials about the Kennedy assassination, UFOs or the 9/11 terrorist attacks has generally been far less lucrative, until now.
Power and lies
A bigger question for researcher Shannon McGregor at the University of North Carolina's Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life is what conspiracy entrepreneurs hope to achieve with their reach.
"Why are these people doing this in the first place? What are they getting out of it? And in a lot of cases in this country in particular, in this moment, it's about hanging on to power," says McGregor. Fringe communities always exist in democracies, she says, but what should be concerning is their proximity to power.
She rejects a "both sides" framing of the issue, identifying it as primarily a right-wing phenomenon that dates back decades. "Since like the Nixon era, at least, this right-wing, ultraconservative media ecosystem has been aligned with political power, makes it much more unlikely that it will actually go away," says McGregor.
Deplatforming and punitive defamation lawsuits, she argues, are less of a solution than "harm reduction." When one individual conspiracist or conspiracy site loses its audience, replacements quickly emerge. None of this means, McGregor and other experts agree, that efforts to contain the spread of extremist or anti-democratic narratives should be abandoned altogether.
"I think overall, [social media company] representatives would prefer if the conversation became, 'Oh, well, deplatforming doesn't work, right? ... So, you know, this isn't our responsibility anymore,'" says Tromble.
Squire says there's no doubt that anything that makes it harder for toxic conspiracists to operate smoothly or spread their message is worth doing. It makes the platform they're removed from safer and bolsters the social norm that there are consequences for harassment and hate speech.

Mitra Chem produces U.S.-made LFP cathodes that beat the performance of state-of-the-art materials currently made in China and powering electric vehicles
Company Set to Begin US-based Commercial Production by 2025
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitra Chem, one of the only U.S. producers of iron-based Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathodes, today announced that it has begun shipments of its commercial-grade LFP materials to a tier 1 global battery cell manufacturer for customer approval and qualification. The company produced the proprietary battery product materials out of its 15,000 sq ft Mountain View based facility where the company has been able to create an LFP cathode with performance exceeding industry standard materials produced primarily in China. Accomplishing these samples within an accelerated timeline of just four months was made possible by deploying the proprietary machine learning algorithms that the company's co-founders developed.
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act has supercharged demand for U.S. made battery materials by offering consumer tax credits tied to domestically manufactured material usage. The company today said it has additional requests for samples to cover the next seven months including nearly every global Tier 1 battery cell maker and multiple household name automotive OEMs.
"EV manufacturers and cell-makers want U.S.-made LFP cathodes and they want it now. Mitra Chem is one of the only companies outside China that has the plans and capability to produce these cathodes at scale. We have heard the feedback from customers and are rapidly scaling to meet this tremendous surge in demand," said CEO Vivas Kumar.
The company also announced today that it is set to begin commercial production by 2025.
As Tesla and other battery and electric vehicle companies move to better, safer, cheaper iron-based battery cathodes such as lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP), nearly 100% of industrialized iron-based cathode manufacturing still occurs in China today. Mitra Chem will provide a critically needed alternative by building the first US-based large-scale LFP cathode production.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hundreds of Hong Kong residents are lining up in front of the British Consulate General for hours each day to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II, leaving piles of flowers and handwritten notes.
The collective outpouring of grief after her death last week is perhaps the most ardent among the former British colonies, where mourning has been generally subdued. It’s seen by some experts as a form of dissent against increasingly intrusive controls by communist-ruled Beijing, which took over the territory in 1997.
Some Hong Kongers are nostalgic for what they view as a past “golden age” under Britain’s not entirely democratic colonial rule, when the city of about 7 million people gained stature as a world financial center and tourism destination.
The queen’s death has sparked a flurry of interest in British memorabilia, among other things.
The Queen is nicknamed “si tau por” in Hong Kong. Pronounced “see-tao-POHR” In the local Cantonese dialect, that translates to “boss lady.”
“We used to call her ‘si tau por’ when we were under her rule. It’s simply a way of showing respect to her. There was a feeling of kindness from her, she’s not the kind of boss who is up above you,” said CK Li, a resident who queued for over two hours to pay his respects.
Another resident, 80-year-old Eddie Wong, said she was there “out of true feelings” from her heart.
“People in Hong Kong love her,” said Wong. “Because when we were under her rule, we enjoyed democracy and freedom and we were very grateful. I want to bid farewell to ‘si tau por’ who is in heaven.”
With its July 1, 1997, takeover China promised to leave Hong Kong’s Western-style civil liberties and institutions intact for at least 50 years. Many raised in the former territory grew up hoping for still greater freedoms.
But following months of anti-government protests in 2019, Beijing imposed a tough national security law on the city, seeking to stamp out public dissent.
News outlets deemed overly critical of Beijing have been forced to shut down and dozens of activists have been arrested. The mass protests ended. Tens of thousands of Hong Kong residents have chosen to emigrate to the U.K. and other places such as Taiwan.
So far, the authorities have allowed the orderly, somber shows of respect to continue.
“I would imagine that some people are going there not so much for nostalgia reasons, but as a kind of protest, now that dissent is suppressed,” said John Burns, an honorary professor of politics and public administration at the University of Hong Kong.
“Some people, for example, who agree with the kind of universal values that the U.K. stands for, and that were incorporated in our Bill of Rights at the end of colonialism could participate in this as a form of protest,” Burns said.
Emotions in Hong Kong are running high, said former Democratic Party chairwoman and ex-lawmaker Emily Lau, given the city’s political situation and its struggles in fighting COVID-19.
“There are some who are genuinely nostalgic and have sentimental feelings for the Queen, but there are also people who have grievances about the current situation in Hong Kong,” Lau said.
“We cannot rule out that some have used this occasion to express that,” she said.
At the same time, public figures in Hong Kong are being scrutinized over their response to the queen’s passing, and drawing criticism if they are viewed as too admiring of her reign or British rule in general.
Commenters on mainland Chinese social media sites have blasted veteran actor Lau Kar-ying, for posting a selfie outside the British Consulate on Instagram with a caption including the line, “Hong Kong was a blessed land under her reign.”
Harshly criticized for attributing Hong Kong’s prosperity to British rule, Lau deleted the post and issued a video apology on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo. He appealed to people not to read too much into what he said.
“I am Chinese and I will forever love my motherland. I’m sorry,” Lau said.
Not all Hong Kongers are sentimental about British rule. Some resent London’s decision not to grant them full British citizenship, instead giving them British National Overseas passports before the handover, which do not guarantee a right to live in the U.K.
“The British took away the rights of those born in Hong Kong before 1997. They didn’t protect those rights,” said Leslie Chan, who said he had no plans to show his respects to the queen. “When the British government discussed with China about the future of Hong Kong, Hong Kongers were cut off from the discussion,” he said.
Some in Hong Kong are only focusing on the last few decades of British rule before the handover to China, when the city became increasingly prosperous and the colonial government burnished its legacy with new parks, train lines and other modern amenities.
British rule in Hong Kong benefited the territory in some ways but colonialism is ultimately harmful for its hegemony and racism, said Burns.
“When you’re talking about the benefits of colonialism, you cannot just take the last 10 years or 20 years in Hong Kong,” he said. “You have to look at the whole thing.”

By Luminous Jannamike, Abuja.
The Chairmen, Christian Association of Nigeria, in the 19 Northern States and the FCT on Thursday night, disowned one Elder Sunday Oibe, who claimed to be the secretary of CAN in the region.
Oibe, while addressing journalists in Kaduna earlier on Thursday, rubbished the meeting by the former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, former Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Lawal Babachir with chairmen of the CAN and other Christian leaders from the region over the issue of Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, Northern CAN will never go to any politician to hang around.
But in a swift reaction, the 19 Northern chairmen of CAN urged Nigerians to reject and discontinuance Oibe’s claims on the grounds that the new Constitution of the apex Christian body does not recognise either the Northern or Southern executive in its leadership structure.
Speaking on behalf of the 19 state chairmen of CAN in the North, Special Apostle Olaniyan Adebayo, the Kogi Chairman, said: “Elder Sunday Oibe is claiming to represent the church in a vacuum, because Northern or Southern CAN is no longer exists according to our new Constitution.
“I attended the meeting with Dogara, Lawal and other Christian leaders in Abuja. What we discussed is already in the public domain. The two APC chieftains simply urged us to stand our ground against the Muslim-Muslim ticket. They also expressed the willingness to work with the Church for justice and fairness in the management of our religious diversity.
“All Christians should be glad and happy that politicians are now willing to help us fight our battles even if they are doing so out of a selfish motive as claimed in certain quarters.
“As religious leaders, it is not in our place to judge or make conjectures on what their motivation for doing so it could be. The fact is that politicians are interested in defending the position of the Church.
“CAN has taken a firm stand against the Muslim-Muslim ticket and all the state chairmen in the North and the FCT align with that decision,” Adebayo exclusively told Vanguard.
In the same vein, another source who attended the meeting with Dogara, Lawal and others also slammed Oibe, describing him as a hireling.
“I was at the meeting. Those disowning the state Chairmen who attended the parley with the former Speaker are moles in CAN hired by the government as mercenaries.
“All the chairmen and secretaries as well as the three zonal chairmen of CAN in the North were present. We simply supported CAN’s position which says no to either Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket,” he said.

Motorists told to check journeys as capital prepares for weekend of national mourning
National Highways is advising motorists travelling in and out of the capital to allow plenty of extra time as motorways and major A roads around London will be very busy over this weekend of national mourning.
Large numbers of people will travel into the capital during the period of Lying-in-State and the State Funeral and road users have been advised to check their journeys before travel and avoid peak times where possible. People are also being urged to stagger journeys out of the capital after the State Funeral on Monday to avoid the busiest mid-afternoon period.
Additional National Highways Traffic Officers have been deployed on key routes around London to carry out patrols, keep traffic moving and assist emergency services to clear any incidents should they occur.
Most planned closures of motorways – and the majority of those on major A-roads – in and out of London have already been suspended until Tuesday next week to reduce congestion. A similar postponement of planned motorway closures will also apply across the rest of the country from Friday evening and remain in place for the duration of the Bank Holiday weekend.

Service areas on motorways around the network will remain open during this time to support those travelling, which means parking, toilets, fuel, food and drink will be available, although there may be reduced levels of services at some locations on Monday. Drivers should check social media platforms and individual websites.
Roads in central London will be subject to extensive closures and drivers have been warned to avoid the area. Those travelling into London should check the TfL website - tfl.gov.uk/ for the latest travel information in the capital, including advice on using rail, Tube and bus services, plus cycling and walking routes.
Motorists should also check the National Highways website for information about travelling during the period of mourning. nationalhighways.co.uk/
Roads around Windsor are also expected to be extremely busy as a series of closures are enforced due to the Committal Service for Her Majesty The Queen on Monday. Details of other ceremonial events around the country are available at www.gov.uk/search/news-and-communications?.
John McNeill, National Highways Service Delivery Manager for the East of England, said: “We are working with our partners to keep our network moving smoothly and to ensure that everyone who is planning to attend the memorial events can do so safely.
“We expect the roads to be busy with people looking to travel into the capital over the weekend. Extra traffic officer patrols will be out on the network to help anyone who might get into difficulty, but it’s important people remember to check their vehicle before setting off.
“The last thing anybody wants on the way to their destination is to have a vehicle breakdown. That’s why it’s really important people spend a few minutes checking their vehicles before setting off.”
Simple checks are a way to make sure the vehicle is roadworthy. Things to consider are:
Tyres: Ensure tyre pressures are suitable for the load and check the condition of tyres, including the spare. Look out for cuts or wear across the whole tyre including sidewall.
Engine oil: Check oil levels regularly and top up if needed. Take your car back to the garage if you’re topping up more than usual.
Water: Always keep your screen wash topped up with a good ratio of water and screen wash to maximise the cleaning efficiency so you can clear debris or dirt off your windscreen easily.
Lights: If your indicators, hazard lights, headlights, fog lights, reverse lights or brake lights are not functioning properly, you are putting yourself and your family at risk. In addition, your vehicle may fail its MoT.
Fuel: Before setting out make sure you have enough fuel to get to your destination. Running out of fuel can put you, your family and other road users at risk unnecessarily.
If you experience problems with your vehicle and you can’t leave the motorway you should always try to go left - to an emergency area, a hard shoulder, motorway services or slip road hard shoulder.
But if that is not possible and you have stopped in a live lane or feel your life is in danger you must stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt and hazard lights on and call 999 immediately.

Sterling's plunge is laden with irony 30 years on from Black Wednesday
Sky's Ian King recalls the panic of Black Wednesday on 16 September 1992 and explains how it led to Britain shying away from closer European integration while its neighbours came to create the euro.
Friday 16 September 2022 11:26, UK
The disappointing retail sales figures for August, published on Friday, have sent the pound spiralling to a fresh 37-year low.
At one point, sterling was trading at $1.1348, a level not seen since March 1985.
The pound has fallen by almost 16% against the US dollar during the last year.
Against the euro meanwhile, the pound fell to as low as €1.1405, a depth not plumbed since February last year.
This weakness in sterling comes in spite of the fact that the Bank of England has been raising interest rates more aggressively than some other central banks around the world although not, crucially, the US Federal Reserve.
But the timing of the latest decline is laden with irony for long-term sterling-watchers - because today, Friday, marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most traumatic days in the post-war history of the pound.
Wednesday 16 September 1992 is better known as "Black Wednesday" and no-one working in markets at the time will ever forget it.
It saw the Bank of England burn through nearly £10bn worth of reserves, a vast sum at the time, while interest rates were raised twice during the course of the day - all in a failed attempt to prop up the value of the pound.
The consequences, though, were more far-reaching than that. Black Wednesday was the day that the Conservative government's painstakingly-built reputation for economic competence incinerated.
In that sense, it was the moment that first paved the way for the election of a Labour government - the first in 18 years - in 1997.
The background to Black Wednesday is worth going into in detail.
At the time, the pound was in the European exchange rate mechanism (ERM) - the system that yoked together the currencies of various European countries ahead of the creation of the euro. Under the ERM, currencies such as the French franc, the Italian lira, the German deutschemark or the pound were supposed to trade with each other in a tight range, described as "currency convergence".
In the case of the pound, it was supposed to move against the deutschemark by no more than 6%.
As sterling had joined the ERM at a rate of DM2.95 to the pound, that meant it was not supposed to trade at more than DM3.127 or less than DM2.773. The main means by which sterling was supposed to trade in such a tight range against the mark was chiefly by setting UK interest rates (which in those days was set by the government and not the Bank of England) close to the level set by Germany's Bundesbank.
If the pound looked like moving outside that range, the Bank of England was supposed to intervene, buying or selling the pound until the exchange rate came back within the terms set out by the ERM.
Most people thought that the pound had entered the ERM at too high a valuation against the deutsche mark - and that created a massive opportunity for currency speculators such as George Soros.
They had spotted that it was completely inappropriate for the UK and Germany to have interest rates at similar levels: the UK needed lower interest rates because it was emerging from a recession and a house price crash while Germany needed higher interest rates to see off the threat of higher inflation created by the heavy spending that followed reunification between East and West Germany.
The speculators already had their tails up: there were plenty of other strains in the ERM, following a referendum in Denmark earlier that year, in which Danes had rejected the Maastricht Treaty - the treaty that was supposed to ready the way for closer European integration and the eventual creation of the euro.
France had also announced a referendum on the treaty and a number of other currencies, notably the lira, were trading at close to the limits of the range under which they were supposed to.
Those strains came to a head when earlier in the month, Britain's chancellor, Norman Lamont, had a very public argument with Helmut Schlesinger, president of the mighty Bundesbank. Things got worse when, on 15 September, Mr Schlesinger made some unguarded comments to a newspaper which were interpreted in some quarters as speculating that the pound would have to devalue - as indeed the lira had been forced to days earlier.
Mr Schlesinger insisted that had not been his intention and wrote in 2017: "I regret to this day that a general remark of mine, not focused specifically on the pound, should have played a role in aggravating sterling's position."
But the damage was done. Speculators like Mr Soros - who is reckoned to have made more than £1bn worth of profits from the event - had already been selling sterling in anticipation of a devaluation and, by the time Wall Street closed that night, the pound had fallen below its ERM floor.
The following day, the pound was hit by wave after wave of selling, prompting Mr Lamont at 11am to raise interest rates from 10% to 12% and then, three hours later, from 12% to 15%.
Heavy spending by the bank, using up what were reckoned at the time to be half the UK's reserves of foreign currency, failed to stem the tide.
Mr Lamont announced that night that sterling's membership of the ERM would be suspended and the second interest rate rise, to 15%, would not go ahead.
It was a humiliation for John Major's Conservative government as great as sterling's devaluation in 1967 had been for Harold Wilson's Labour government. It was defeated by Tony Blair at the subsequent general election.
Sterling's suspension from the ERM ensured the UK never entered the single currency - while its devaluation paved the way for a strong recovery that ensured Labour inherited a strong economy when it came to power. Some economists now refer to it as "Golden Wednesday".
But Black Wednesday did not only pave the way for Labour's election victory five years later. Many now see it now, also, as the moment that Conservative wariness of the EU spiralled into full-blown Euroscepticism.
As Mr Schlesinger himself wrote in 2017: "One might see this as the beginning of the UK's slow separation from the EU that culminated in the Brexit vote last year."
In Europe, meanwhile, there was also a response. Sterling's ignominious departure from the ERM concentrated minds.
The French public, days later, voted in favour of the Maastricht Treaty.
And European governments concluded their planned integration was vulnerable so long as it was dependent on the ERM - especially as the episode had highlighted the Bundesbank's reluctance to take action in defence of the currency bands.
They stepped up moves towards the creation of the euro.

CEO of Next PR, an award-winning, full-service public relations firm with offices across the U.S.
With a long-standing reputation as ultra-competitive and cutthroat, the PR industry can be a taxing trade. Agencies often juggle client demands with tight deadlines and endure an environment in which there’s no room for error—sometimes, the tiniest mistake can mean immediate termination.
At many firms, management has no qualms about sacrificing their teams’ personal time or mental health to satisfy a marquee brand or secure a hefty retainer. It can be exhausting and quickly lead to job burnout, especially for young professionals. It’s also become completely unsustainable for agencies looking to retain the best and brightest talent.
Today’s workforce has much higher expectations for work-life balance. Having a sense of purpose in their work and feeling valued by their employer is now a requirement. As the “great resignation” has proven, employees are not afraid to quit and go elsewhere to find that balance.
PR firms must focus on doing work that aligns with their core mission and values—it’s essential for attracting and retaining talent. And let’s face it, leaders feel the same way. Just like my team, I also want to spend 40 hours a week doing work that gives me a sense of personal satisfaction and makes the world a better place. I, too, want to feel fulfilled and excited to get up in the morning because I get to do this work, not because I have to do it. I’ve seen firsthand how aligning our work with our values makes our team feel more motivated, passionate and inspired to do their best work for themselves, our agency and our clients.
Here are five strategies to align your work with your agency’s values and make your firm a better place to work.
Articulate your mission and business principles.
If your mission and values are copied from the generic motivational posters hanging around the office, you’re doing it wrong. Be thoughtful about the type of organization you want to create and articulate a guiding mission relevant and meaningful for your team. For us, that mission is simple: Tell stories to change the world. We devised four principles to put our mission into action and guide our business decisions. Every move we make must be grounded in those principles or we don’t pursue it.
Live your principles.
It’s not enough to post your principles on the wall—you have to live them every day. You can’t say you value innovation and then ignore team members’ ideas every time someone suggests a novel approach. You need to demonstrate what it means to live those values by suggesting actual tasks or behaviors team members can enact to put principles into practice.
You might even consider rewarding your team for doing so. For example, we recently completed an eight-month contest where we provided a list of tasks related to each of our principles, and every team member who completed the tasks was entered in a raffle to win prizes like extra PTO, tech gadgets, travel and spa gift cards. The grand prize winner earned an all-expenses-paid trip to Ireland—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity she says would never have been possible if it wasn’t for living our principles.
Be selective with clients.
Before taking on new business, we consider a prospective client’s alignment with our mission and culture. Will our team enjoy working on the account? Is it interesting or meaningful? Are there opportunities to learn, grow or make an impact?
Every account must connect to the greater good. We’ve had the opportunity to work with clients like the Sachs Foundation, an organization that is helping bring more Black teachers into the classroom, and Bloom Health Partners, which helps companies prioritize workplace healthcare. We want our team to believe in their work, which manifests in outstanding results for our clients and our firm. In fact, since we started operating this way, we’ve doubled our minimum retainer and increased overall revenue.
Don’t be afraid to say no.
Being selective also means potentially turning down business or walking away from a lucrative opportunity when it doesn’t align. As a leader, you have to care about your team’s mental health and well-being as well as your firm’s reputation more than the payday. We’ve walked away from a hefty retainer after just a few days—even though the project seemed like a perfect fit for our mission—because the client was overbearing and made outrageous demands. We protect our people over profits, and it’s made all the difference in maintaining and retaining a happy, healthy workforce.
Give back.
Corporate social responsibility should be a big part of your mission. Consider offering volunteer time off (VTO) and Conscious Capitalism programs. At Next PR, every team member is provided 24 hours of VTO per year to support missions and causes they care about. Additionally, each year we choose a business to support with agencywide pro bono work. This year, we’ve selected Brewability, the nation’s first fully inclusive brewery that employs adults with disabilities. These programs support our mission, give our team opportunities to learn and grow, and support PR efforts for clients who couldn’t otherwise afford to hire a firm.
Aligning your agency’s work with your mission must be a core part of your business, as employees increasingly look to the companies they work for to provide a sense of purpose. When personal purpose aligns with organizational purpose, the result is an outstanding culture that fosters stronger engagement, greater loyalty and a drive to succeed.

FORESTHILL, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters again prevented flames from entering a Northern California mountain town and reported major progress Thursday against the week-old blaze that’s become the largest in the state so far this year.
Conditions at the Mosquito Fire about 110 miles (177 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco were “looking a whole heck of a lot better,” according to fire spokesman Scott McLean.
Crews on the ground built up containment lines while water-dropping helicopters knocked down hotspots after the fire roared back to life on Tuesday, burning structures near Foresthill.
“It’s looking really good on the west end where we had that dramatic increase of fire earlier this week,” McLean said Thursday. Flames raced up a drainage ditch into a neighborhood, but firefighters saved all the homes.
Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. In the last five years, California has experienced the largest and most destructive fires in its history.
Evacuation orders remained for some 11,000 residents because of the unpredictable nature of the winds, McLean said, which typically blow in the direction of several canyons and could rapidly spread flames if gusts pick up.
The Mosquito Fire was 20% contained after destroying at least 70 homes and other buildings. The 100-square-mile (258-square-kilometer) blaze on Wednesday surpassed the size of the previous largest conflagration in 2022 – the McKinney Fire – although this season has seen a fraction of last year’s wildfire activity so far.
In Southern California, dogs aided the hunt for a person missing in a heavily damaged area of the San Bernardino Mountains where thunderstorms unleashed rocks, trees and earth that washed away cars, buried homes and affected 3,000 residents in two remote communities. Nearly 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain fell Monday at Yucaipa Ridge between Oak Glen, home to apple orchards that are a fall tourist destination, and Forest Falls, once a summer getaway for cabin owners that has become a bedroom community.
“This entire area is blanketed with up to 6 feet (1.83 meters) of mud, debris, large boulders” said Jim Topelski, a San Bernardino County fire chief,
The mudslide damage in Oak Glen and Forest Falls served as a powerful warning to residents of the lingering damage wildfires can cause months or even years after flames are extinguished and the smoke clears.
An intense amount of rain even over a short period of time can have catastrophic effects on hillsides where fire has stripped vegetation that once held the ground intact.
The Mosquito Fire was one of three large fires in the state.
The Fairview Fire was burning about 75 miles (121 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The 44-square-mile (114-square-kilometer) blaze was 84% contained Thursday. Two people died fleeing the fire, which destroyed at least 35 homes and other structures in Riverside County.

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas anesthesiologist was arrested on charges alleging that he injected nerve-blocking agents and other drugs into bags of intravenous fluids at the surgical center where he works, which led to the death of a co-worker and caused cardiac emergencies for several patients, authorities announced Thursday.
Dr. Raynaldo Rivera Ortiz Jr. was arrested Wednesday on a criminal complaint alleging that he tampered with a consumer product causing death and intentional drug adulteration, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office for the northern district of Texas. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.
Ortiz, 59, remained in the Dallas County jail without bond on Thursday. Records don’t list an attorney for him.
According to the criminal complaint, a 55-year-old female coworker of Ortiz experienced a medical emergency and died June 21 immediately after treating herself for dehydration with an IV bag of what she thought was saline taken from the surgical center. An autopsy found that she died from a lethal dose of bupivacaine, a nerve-blocking drug that is rarely abused but often is used when an anesthetic is given.
On Aug. 24, an 18-year-old male patient experienced a cardiac emergency during routine sinus surgery, was intubated and transferred to an intensive care unit. Chemical analysis of the fluid from a saline bag used during his surgery revealed the presence of bupivacaine, the stimulant epinephrine and the topical anesthetic lidocaine, drugs that could have caused the patient’s sudden symptoms, according to prosecutors.
The surgical center staff concluded that the incidents suggested a pattern of intentional adulteration of IV bags used at the center. They identified 10 additional unexpected cardiac emergencies that occurred during otherwise unremarkable surgeries between May and August, which was an exceptionally high rate of complications over such a short period, according to the complaint.
The incidents began two days after Ortiz was notified of a disciplinary inquiry of an incident during which he allegedly “deviated from the standard of care” during an anesthesia procedure when a patient experienced a medical emergency. Ortiz, who had a history of disciplinary actions against him, expressed concern to other physicians over the disciplinary action and complained that the center was trying to “crucify” him.
The complaint alleges that all of the incidents occurred around the time Ortiz performed services at the facility, but none happened while he was on vacation.
In one instance captured in the surveillance video, agents observed him walking quickly from an operating room to an IV bag warmer, placing a bag inside, visually scanning the empty hallway and walking quickly away. Just over an hour later, a 56-year-old woman suffered a cardiac emergency during a scheduled cosmetic surgery after a bag from the warmer was used during her procedure, according to the complaint.
In another instance recorded on video, agents saw Ortiz leave his operating room with an IV bag concealed in what appeared to be a paper folder, swap the bag with another from the warmer and walk away. Roughly half an hour later, a 54-year-old woman suffered a cardiac emergency during a scheduled cosmetic surgery after a bag from the warmer was used during her procedure.

A changing of the guard at Circular Head Council is one of the reasons why experienced councillor John Oldaker will run for mayor at next month's local government elections.
Cr Oldaker said it was likely that half of the current councillors would vacate their seats next month.
"This time we are going to see five new councillors and we need someone with experience in the chair," he said.
"I was deputy mayor once and I have ran for mayor twice.
"I want to be able to lead this community forward."
Cr Oldaker explained what he would like to see the municipality in four years' time.
"I'd like to see some growth in the housing market and for people to have work," he said.
"I want to make sure our facilities are looked after and improved and I'm looking forward to the progress of the West x North West tourism group's plans for Dismal Swamp."

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WebMD today announced the winners of the 2022 WebMD Health Heroes Awards, which this year honor everyday heroes who are confronting the nation's mental health challenges with ingenuity, compassion, and bravery.
Their work arrives at a moment of urgency. Mental health disorders were already on the rise, but the impact of the pandemic, the burnout of health care professionals, and the isolation and loneliness of lockdowns exacerbated the problem.
Currently, more than 52 million Americans are living with mental illness, and an estimated 12 million have had suicidal thoughts. Nearly 5 million are not able to obtain mental health care, are unable to afford it, feel uncomfortable opening up in a traditional therapeutic setting, or risk career and personal stigma if they seek help.
This year's Awards spotlight six inspiring individuals who are taking on this challenge, sharing their personal struggles and vulnerabilities, shining a light on issues that have long been stigmatized, and making a difference.
The Awards are now in their 15th year, and the honorees are selected by WebMD's editorial team, composed of board-certified health care professionals and award-winning journalists.
The WebMD 2022 Health Heroes are:
ADVOCATE
Justin Bullock, MD, MPH: By opening up about his mental health struggle in a leading medical journal, he inspires other doctors to ask for help
In a 2020 perspective in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Bullock shared his deeply personal experience with bipolar disorder and the suicidal thoughts that shadowed him during his medical training. By sharing his story, he hoped to inspire other struggling medical students and doctors to come forward and ask for help.
At the time, he was doing his medical internship at the University of California, San Francisco – a pressure-cooker environment, even for someone without mental health issues. For Dr. Bullock, who'd already survived two suicide attempts – one after coming out as gay to his family in high school, the other during his second year of medical school – it was a powder keg situation.
He felt the need to come forward about his struggles because no one was talking about suicide and the intense pressure that drives so many doctors to it. He's been encouraged by the positive response he's received. Dr. Bullock is now doing a fellowship at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, and he is planning a series of projects aimed at improving the environment in medicine for people of all identities, including those with mental illness.
CHAMPION
Matt McDonell: A veteran uses the healing power of golf to promote mental health in vets and first responders
His life appeared ideal from the outside, but after returning home from Afghanistan in 2015, Matt McDonell was taking a cocktail of prescription drugs to help him sleep and relieve his emotional and physical pain from tinnitus, TMJ, post-concussive migraines, and much more. For nearly 7 years, the repressed memories of war kept flooding back. Then he got an email from Semper Fi & America's Fund, an organization that supports combat veterans, inviting him to a golf camp in Denver.
He went to one golf camp, then another, and realized how many mental health practices such as mindfulness were intrinsic to the game − from making a choice of what club to use, to deciding how to approach a shot. That spark of an idea grew into Next 18, a nonprofit program that hosts golf camps for military vets and first responders. The participants receive instruction from local pros, as well as guidance in self-care practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, journaling, and yoga.
During their camp experiences, participants say they can discuss things they may not have spoken to others about before and begin to heal the trauma that many have encountered in battle and elsewhere.
Next 18 has hosted six camps with 63 alumni so far, and they plan to have eight more camps next year. McDonell, who is also working on getting his master's degree in social work, wants to grow to 15 to 20 camps a year and expand into warmer parts of the country for the winter months.
HELPER
Ariel Brown, PhD: A neuroscientist founds The Emotional PPE Project, connecting COVID-19 health care workers with free professional mental health care.
The mental trauma of working through COVID-19 left millions of health care workers exhausted, burned out, and struggling with mental health concerns.
Brown, a senior director of medical science at Sage Therapeutics in Cambridge, MA, wanted to help, but she wasn't sure how. She had expertise in mental health research, but she wasn't in the trenches with health care workers. A friend, also a doctor, advised her to think of ways to provide health care workers with more resources.
A believer in the healing power of counseling, she reached out to every therapist in her social media network and asked for volunteers. The response was tremendous, and The Emotional PPE Project was launched in spring 2020.
A nationwide network of more than 700 therapists, the organization connects health care workers with free confidential counseling with support from individual and corporate donors. The therapists work pro bono.
So far, the program has connected more than 2,000 health care workers with therapists, and the experience has been rewarding for both groups.
Brown believes that there will always be a need to care for the emotional health of frontline workers, even when the current pandemic fades, and that changes in policy and support from medical regulatory bodies are necessary to eliminate the stigma and fear of professional reprisal that stops many doctors from reaching out to get the support they need.
CONNECTORS
Allen Zhou, Anthony Zhou, and Aditi Merchant: Connecting isolated seniors to young people
Even before the pandemic, nearly 1 in 4 Americans over age 65 were socially isolated. Then COVID-19 hit, leaving older adults even more isolated. Young people weren't immune to isolation either. Driven online for learning and social interaction, more than 60% of 18- to 25-year-olds reported high levels of loneliness.
Aditi Merchant, a senior at the University of Texas at Austin, saw the widespread mental health problems among her college-age peers and was aware of issues with older Americans. She, along with classmate Allen Zhou and his brother Anthony Zhou, a sophomore at Columbia University, founded Big & Mini, a nonprofit that bridges distance and generations using technology. Older adults (Bigs) and young people (Minis) fill out a form on the organization's website and are matched free of charge based on their interests and goals.
In the past 2 years, Big & Mini has made over 6,000 matches throughout the U.S. and around the world. Participants go beyond talking online – they've taken cooking classes together, learned new languages, and sometimes traveled hundreds of miles to meet in person.
When they tracked a group of 70 Bigs and Minis using the Duke Social Support Index, an instrument that measures social support in older adults, scores in both groups improved from an average of 4 out of 10 to more than 8 out of 10 within 6 months after the first call.
The founders plan to continue, even as the world opens up, building on their efforts with local chapters where members can meet in person.
