RICHMOND, Va. -- COVID-19 hospitalizations in the Commonwealth decreased over the past week, according to data from the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA).
As of Friday, there were 657 hospitalized patients confirmed positive for COVID-19, which is down from 735 (-78) last Friday, according to the VHHA.
VHHA's 7-day moving average of current COVID-19 hospitalizations sat at 702 Friday. That is down 57 from 759 last Friday. That number was 793 the previous Friday and 801 the Friday before that.
Additionally, nearly 600 additional COVID-19 patients were discharged from Virginia hospitals over the past week, according to the VHHA.
The VHHA reported a total of 122,285 hospitalized COVID-19 patients have been discharged Friday, an increase from 121,687 (+598) patients from last Friday's update.
The data is a look into COVID-19 recoveries in Virginia. While the data isn't an exact recovery statistic, the discharge category shows how many COVID-19 patients were hospitalized and released.
Additionally, 21,679 (+92 from last Friday) deaths in Virginia have been linked to COVID since the start of the pandemic, according to the Virginia Department of Health.
RELATED: 7-day positivity rate drops to 16.7%; new cases down 12% last week
The VHHA's online data dashboard provides up-to-date statistics daily on the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations across the Commonwealth, ventilator usage, and current hospital bed availability.
The VHHA collects and collates data supplied by member hospitals as part of COVID-19 situational preparedness and response efforts.

Taylor Girlz, a rap, dance, and R&B trio from the United States, is adored by their hoards of fans, and several of their singles have climbed to the top of the charts every year. Their song "Man Thot" has received over 14 million views on their YouTube channel.
"We are fully aware that our customers are passionate, energetic, and confident ladies who often use music to express themselves. The co-branded series with Daysha Taylor combines our customers' beauty of confidence and LW's praise for them," said Monica from LovelyWholesale.
Taylor Girlz's confident and cheerful attitude, as expressed in their songs, as well as their insistence on listening to other voices while not being defined by them, coincides with the message that LovelyWholesale wishes to deliver to everyone.

LovelyWholesale's head of business, Leo, said, "We hope that ladies of all heights, shapes, and styles will be able to choose clothing from LovelyWholesale that actually fits them, knowing that our care for them exists all the time."
With this in mind, the collaborative lineup created by LovelyWholesale and Taylor Girlz features the simple and versatile cotton-based LW Basic collection, street-style pieces, as well as the classic and stylish denim collection. Customers are attracted to the LW Basic series for its classic style, rich colors, and affordable cost, while considering the street-style items as the full embodiment of the idea that "you can get unique clothing styles at LW." The belief is that everyone can find something for themselves in this fashion collection, regardless of body shape or style.

LONDON (AP) — The long good-bye for Queen Elizabeth II is a reminder of a broader truth playing out with little fanfare across Britain: The nation is bidding farewell to the men and women who fought the country’s battles during World War II.
The queen, who served as a mechanic and truck driver in the last months of the war, was a tangible link to the sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines and others who signed up to do their bit in a conflict that killed 384,000 service personnel and 70,000 British civilians.
But like the queen, even the youngest veterans of the war are now nearing their 100th birthdays, and a steady stream of obituaries tells the story of a disappearing generation.
“It’s extraordinary how that sense of the passing of time is felt very keenly at the moment,″ said Charles Byrne, director general of the Royal British Legion, the nation’s largest armed services charity.
“The queen was a personification of that generation … and with her passing, it just drives home the sense that time is moving relentlessly, as it does.”
That loss is, perhaps, felt more widely in the United Kingdom than a country like the United States, because the U.K.’s very existence was threatened during the war. Bombs fell on cities from London to Belfast, women were conscripted into war work and wartime rationing didn’t end until 1954.
Elizabeth, who famously saved ration coupons to make her wedding dress in 1947, led a ceremony of remembrance for all the nation’s fallen service personnel each year on the anniversary of the end of World War I.
“She is the epitome of that sense of service and stoic contribution,″ Byrne said. “And that is treasured more than ever.”
British authorities don’t know exactly how many World War II veterans are left because the nation’s census takers didn’t track military service until last year. Those figures are due to be released next month.
The Royal Air Force says it knows of only one surviving Battle of Britain pilot, the men Winston Churchill immortalized as “the few” who helped turn the tide of the war. Group Captain John Hemingway celebrated his 103rd birthday in July.
But the number of survivors is dwindling.
Among those who died this year were Henriette Hanotte, who ferried downed Allied pilots across the French border as they made their way home. And Harry Billinge, who was just 18 when he joined the first wave of troops to land on Gold Beach in Normandy on D-Day, as well as Douglas Newham, who survived 60 bombing raids as a Royal Air Force navigator, but was haunted by those who didn’t return.
It was a time of shared sacrifice. Then Princess Elizabeth, like many teenagers, had to persuade her father to let her join the army in 1945.
When Elizabeth turned 18, King George VI exempted her from mandatory military service because he said her training as the heir to the throne took precedence over the wartime need for manpower.
But the princess, who began her war work at the age of 14 with a broadcast to displaced children and later tended a vegetable garden as part of the government’s “Dig for Victory” program, got her way.
She enlisted in the Auxiliary Territorial Service in February 1945 and trained to become a military truck driver and mechanic. The ATS was the largest of the auxiliary services deploying women to non-combat rolls such as clerks, drivers and dispatch riders to free up men for front line duties.
The first female member of the royal family to serve in the armed forces, Elizabeth was promoted to honorary junior commander, the equivalent of an army captain, after completing five months of training. But the war ended before she could be assigned to active duty.
On May 8, 1945, Princess Elizabeth appeared in uniform on the balcony of Buckingham Palace as the royal family greeted the crowds celebrating Germany’s surrender. That night, she and her sister, Princess Margaret, slipped out of the palace to take part in the festivities.
“We cheered the king and queen on the balcony and then walked miles through the streets,” she later recalled. “I remember lines of unknown people linking arms and walking down Whitehall, all of us just swept along on a tide of happiness and relief.”
Many of those who took part in that joy are now gone.
Among them is Frank Baugh, a Royal Marine who helped guide a landing craft to Sword Beach during the June 6, 1944, D-Day landings. He later campaigned for a memorial to be built to commemorate the 22,442 men and women who died under British command during the Battle of Normandy.
A few months before his death in June at the age of 98, Baugh toured the British Normandy Memorial, which overlooks the beach where he fought.
“I would like to see children coming all of the time,″ he said. “Because they’re the people we need to tell what’s happened, and those lads that didn’t get back — to remember them.”

Single mum facing a huge hike in her rent sets up a GoFundMe to pay for a house deposit - and is now forking out $138 LESS per week for her OWN home: 'I had nothing to lose'
- Mum of three, one with a serious medical condition, exposes rental crisis
- She was on the verge of a 'mental health breakdown' but things got better
- She went from paying $550 a week in rent, to a mortgage of $412 a week
A single mother of three children, one of whom has a serious medical condition, has exposed the shocking reality of Australia's rental crisis.
Bo-Anne Kolkman was 'exhausted, sad, confused and on the verge of a mental health breakdown' when two things combined to help set her family on a better path.
She turned to GoFundMe to seek help to buy a house in the Perth suburb of Byford by using the fundraiser as a deposit.
She was successful - and now Ms Kolkman has gone from paying $550 a week in rent, to living in her own home where her mortgage is $412 a week.
She is saving $138 every week and is beyond thankful after her rental was set to rise to $620 a week before she moved out into her own home.
Bo-Anne Kolkman (right) is pictured with her children Harrison, Hannah and Sienna outside the house she bought with help from GoFundMe
Ms Kolkman said her GoFundMe has had an 'amazing response', especially as she struggled with the idea of doing in in the first place.
'Doing the fundraiser puts you in a very volatile position, letting people know that you're struggling so much financially.
'I spent a lot of time thinking I didn't want to expose myself, then I thought, what have I got to lose,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
The ever-rising cost of living and her family's circumstances forced her to take the brave step of seeking help from complete strangers.
Her son Harrison was born with bilateral, dysplastic kidneys and underwent a living donor transplant at 20 months old.
He is now aged nine and has continued to have chronic health issues for the last few years that limits his time at school with his friends and also Ms Kolkman's ability to work.
'I was trying to work as much as I could in a job I couldn't be reliable in because of my son's health condition,' she said.
'And I was limited by Centrelink because I'm his primary carer and they only allow me to do so much work before they penalise me.'

The cost of everything was going up, but her rent was the worst of all.
'I was paying $550 in rent a week and I was told it was going up to $620 by March so to be prepared because if I couldn't pay, then they'd have to find someone who could.
'That lack of security for a single mum with three young kids was just debilitating, because I was trying so hard.'
Having set up the fundraiser, she then wondered if she could get onto a single parents' scheme where it was a two per cent deposit and no stamp duty if you bought a house under $430,000.
Harrison, 9, is pictured cuddling the family dog Bodhi, who he and his sisters call a therapy dog
The first mortgage broker she went to said he wouldn't even approach the banks about it as she was not financially secure enough.
'That was really crippling. I went home and had a real moment, a real fall down moment,' she said, breaking down just at the memory of it.
'But I got myself up again and went to another broker. She said I qualified for the scheme and arranged pre-approval.
'By that stage the GoFundMe page was up and people donated and that became my deposit,' Ms Kolkman said.
The family has now moved in to their new home, but the fundraiser is still going.
'The place has a few quirks and maintenance work needs to be done on it, so it would be nice to have some assistance with that,' Ms Kolkman said.
Bo-Anne Kolkman and her son Harrison are pictured in a selfie taken in the Perth suburb of Byford
Her children Sienna, 12, Hannah, 11 and Harrison, 9, are 'over the moon'.
The first thing one of her daughters did in their new home was ask if she could draw on her wall, which she couldn't do in a rental property.
'I said sure, so long as she didn't write any swear words,' Ms Kolkman said.
And while Harrison has some ups and downs with his health, his mum is hopeful the long-term prognosis will be positive.
'His whole journey has been quite good in comparison to other rhenal kids, and this is what we keep reminding ourselves, even though it has been tough.
'He's on steroids at the moment, so he had moments where he's absolutely manic and will talk until 11.30pm.
'But then all of a sudden he'll crash and say he's so depressed.'
Harrison (pictured in a hospital bed) had a kidney transplant when he was just 20 months old
She said said getting his medication right as he gets older is a 'fine balance'.
'Hopefully, long term he'll be able to last with the transplant he has, but it might be the case that eventually they'll either get another transplant from me, or from a donor if they rule me out for any reason,' Ms Kolkman said.
For now, the Kolkman family is just grateful to be living under their own roof and paying less for a mortgage than they were paying in rent.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
District Court Judge Michael Moses chided attorneys for the state during a hearing in Billings for circumventing his April order that temporarily blocked a 2021 Montana law that made it harder to change birth certificates.
Moses said there was no question that state officials violated his earlier order by creating the new rule. Moses said his order reinstates a 2017 Department of Public Health and Human Services rule that allowed people to update the gender on their birth certificate by filing an affidavit with the department.
However, the state said it would disregard the ruling.
“The Department thoroughly evaluated the judge’s vague April 2022 decision and crafted our final rule to be consistent with the decision. It’s unfortunate that the judge’s ruling today does not square with his vague April decision,” said Charlie Brereton, director of the Department of Public Health and Human Services.
Brereton said the agency was keeping the rule it issued last week in place and an agency spokesperson said the department is waiting to see the judge’s written order before considering its next steps.
ACLU attorney Malita Picasso expressed dismay with the agency’s stance and said officials should immediately start processing requests for birth certificate changes.
“It’s shocking that after this morning’s hearing the department would allege there was any lack of clarity in the court’s ruling from the bench,” Picasso said. “It was very clear that Judge Moses expressly required a reversion to the 2017 policy, and anything short of that is a continued flagrant violation of the court’s order.”
Such open defiance of judge’s order is very unusual from a government agency, said Carl Tobias, a former University of Montana Law School professor now at the University of Richmond. When officials disagree with a ruling, the typical response is to appeal to a higher court, he said.
“Appeal is what you contemplate — not that you can nullify a judge’s orders. Otherwise, people just wouldn’t obey the law,” Tobias said. “The system can’t work that way.”’
The move could leave state officials open to contempt of court charges, which in some cases can lead to jail time for offenders, Tobias said. He added that the attorneys representing the state were likely aware of the potential consequences but were “caught in the middle” between a recalcitrant agency and the judge.
The legal dispute comes as conservative lawmakers in numerous states have sought to restrict transgender rights, including with bans on transgender girls competing in girls school sports.
The Montana law said people had to have a “surgical procedure” before they could change the sex listed on their birth certificate, something Moses found to be unconstitutional because it did not specify what type of procedure was required.
Gov. Greg Gianforte’s administration then created a new rule that blocked changes to birth certificates entirely, unless there was a clerical error.
Moses said during Thursday morning’s hearing that his April ruling had been “clear as a bell” and compared the state’s subsequent actions to a person twice convicted of assault who tries to change their name following a third accusation to avoid a harsher punishment.
“Isn’t that exactly what happened here?” Moses asked. “I’m a bit offended the department thinks they can do anything they want.”
One of the plaintiffs in the case, Amelia Marquez, said she was disgusted by the state’s response.
“We have people that think that they’re above the law and don’t have to listen to the judiciary branch of our government,” she said.
After learning the state planned to defy the court order, Shawn Reagor with the Montana Human Rights Network said the organization “will not stand by while the Gianforte administration blatantly disregards rulings from the courts to continue a vindictive attack on the trans community.”
Only Tennessee, Oklahoma and West Virginia have sweeping prohibitions against birth certificate changes similar to what Montana has pursued, advocates for transgender rights say. Bans in Idaho and Ohio were struck down in 2020.
A Republican lawmaker who voted in favor of the 2021 law suggested Moses was biased in favor of the plaintiffs in the case. Moses was appointed to the court by former Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat.
“Like clockwork, Judge Moses issued yet another predetermined order in favor of liberal plaintiffs without thoroughly engaging with the legal issues at hand,” Sen. Greg Hertz of Polson said in a statement.
The ACLU of Montana had asked Moses to clarify his order after the state health department enacted its new temporary rule effectively banning birth certificate changes a month after Moses handed down his temporary injunction in the case. That rule was made permanent last week.
The state argued the injunction did not prevent the health department from making rules, but Moses said under case law the injunction reinstated the 2017 rules and any other changes are on hold while the case is decided.
State officials denied that the new rule preventing birth certificate changes was adopted in bad faith. Montana Assistant Solicitor Kathleen Smithgall said the state came up with the new rule to fill a gap in regulations after the 2021 law was blocked.
“Judge Moses mischaracterized the words of his own order, the parties’ motives, and the state of the law,” said Kyler Nerison, a spokesperson for Attorney General Austin Knudsen.

Sandhurst Group Practice in Berkshire put into special measures
- Published
A GP surgery has been placed into special measures after it was criticised in a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report.
The Sandhurst Group Practice was given an overall rating of "inadequate" after its recent inspection.
The report, published on Wednesday, said the practice "did not always provide care in a way that kept patients safe".
NHS Frimley has been approached for comment.
The practice has two premises in the Berkshire town; a main surgery in Yorktown Road and a branch practice on Cambridge Road, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The report said its leadership "could not demonstrate they had the capacity and skills to deliver high quality sustainable care".
'Significant gaps'
However, it said staff handled patients with "kindness and respect", "involved them in decisions" and "respected" their privacy and dignity.
The report noted "significant gaps" in training for staff and said the practice failed to ensure medicines were "prescribed safely to patients or reviewed appropriately".
Due to breaches of regulations, it was put into special measures to "give people who use the service the reassurance that the care they get should improve".
Another inspection will take place within six months.
If the rating remains inadequate the CQC will begin the process of "preventing the provider from operating the service".
It will be required to ensure care and treatment is provided "in a safe way".
It must also ensure all nurses are correctly authorised to administer medicines, and increase the uptake of screening and immunisations.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Olight, a global industry-leading illumination tools company hosted an online global O-Fan Day event in September.
As a deeply customer-oriented company, Olight has always strived to provide its fans with the best products and services. In order to connect with its customers on a deeper level, the Olight team has created a special, annual festival for Olight fans, known as O-Fans, called O-Fan Day. The very first O-Fan Day was held in 2019 in Georgia, USA; since then, the O-Fan Day Event has become a conventional party between Olight and their fans every September.
It is the continuous mutual support and trust that contributes to the growth of Olight's blooming O-Fan culture as shown in this heartwarming video.
The most anticipated part of this year's O-Fan Day was the brand-new online launch event that Olight rolled out to introduce new products on September 16, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. EDT., bringing fans a new visual experience and an intuitive close look at brand-new products.
The new products include an upgraded EDC flashlight (Baton 3 Pro), a new rail-mounted, angled foregrip light (Sigurd), a portable, remote controlled work light (Odiance), an incredibly compact safety light (Gober), as well as new color variants of some existing flashlight models.
Two of Olight's most innovative new releases:
The classic Baton series has remained popular since its inception in 2011. The most popular of this new generation of EDC flashlights is the S2R Baton II. Incorporating the fan-favorite magnetic charging feature, upgrading it with more powerful light output, and making many more improvements, Olight has made a massive update to this series with its new Baton 3 Pro. Invisibly hidden in the compact head of the Baton 3 Pro is an Olight Hidden Proximity Sensor (OHPS) that functions effectively to dim the light when its lens is blocked by a nearby object. Beam shape and appearance are unaffected, but users are still protected from potential risks of lens obstruction or accidental activation. Additionally, the included L shape stand accessory makes it easy for users to store the Baton 3 Pro anywhere.
The industry-leading 2-in-1 design is the most innovative feature of the Sigurd, integrating an angled grip with a powerful rail-mounted light, saving hassle, money, and space, all while bringing great convenience and performance to users.
Although these new product releases were a big part of this event, it also served as the launch for Olight's new brand, Obuy. Olight has spared no effort as a well-known fan & customer-oriented brand to create Obuy.com, a shopping site that isn't only for fans, but is to serve people with an eye for beauty and a passion for life. In addition to hiking gear, camping equipment, outdoor tools, and everyday household items, visitors will be able to find a variety of items for many daily needs.
This entire Fan Festival reflects Olight's innovative pursuit of illumination technologies and appreciation for its fans. Moreover, driven by a professional and rigorous attitude, Olight has provided millions of users worldwide with quality lighting tools. Currently, Olight contributes significantly to the growth of the illumination industry. Will Olight bring more possibilities to lighting in the future? Stay tuned.

Founded in 2007, Olight is dedicated to offering high-quality lighting products, including EDC lights, outdoor lights, tactical lights, rail-mounted lights, ambient lights, headlamps, bike lights, accessories, and more.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
District Court Judge Michael Moses chided attorneys for the state during a hearing in Billings for circumventing his April order that temporarily blocked a 2021 Montana law that made it harder to change birth certificates.
Moses said there was no question that state officials violated his earlier order by creating the new rule. Moses said his order reinstates a 2017 Department of Public Health and Human Services rule that allowed people to update the gender on their birth certificate by filing an affidavit with the department.
However, the state said it would disregard the ruling.
“The Department thoroughly evaluated the judge’s vague April 2022 decision and crafted our final rule to be consistent with the decision. It’s unfortunate that the judge’s ruling today does not square with his vague April decision,” said Charlie Brereton, director of the Department of Public Health and Human Services.
Brereton said the agency was keeping the rule it issued last week in place and an agency spokesperson said the department is waiting to see the judge’s written order before considering its next steps.
ACLU attorney Malita Picasso expressed dismay with the agency’s stance and said officials should immediately start processing requests for birth certificate changes.
“It’s shocking that after this morning’s hearing the department would allege there was any lack of clarity in the court’s ruling from the bench,” Picasso said. “It was very clear that Judge Moses expressly required a reversion to the 2017 policy, and anything short of that is a continued flagrant violation of the court’s order.”

The move could leave state officials open to contempt of court charges, which in some cases can lead to jail time for offenders, Tobias said. He added that the attorneys representing the state were likely aware of the potential consequences but were “caught in the middle” between a recalcitrant agency and the judge.

Feeling stressed? Reach for the stereo, not the snacks!
Feeling stressed? Reach for the stereo, not the snacks! Experts say listening to music from the likes of Amy Winehouse and Eminem can stop you from eating
- Often people turn to food when they feel stressed or sad, experts say:
- Researchers analyzed how many snacks women ate after listening to music
- Women who felt sad and listened to music ate half the amount of snacks
It can feel natural to dip your hands into the cookie jar after a stressful day at work.
But researchers believe they’ve discovered a simple trick to banishing your desire to comfort — listen to music.
Scientists analyzed how many snacks women ate after listening to certain types of music.
The participants were made sad, as part of the study’s attempts to see how food and music can help combat negative emotions.
Women who listened to music that elicited feelings of anger or sadness ate half the amount of chips, chocolate and candy, compared to volunteers who were not given headphones.
The music featured songs like Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black (left), Eminem’s Mockingbird (right), and Linkin Park’s In The End.
Such songs included Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black, Eminem’s Mockingbird, and Linkin Park’s In The End.
Women ate about a third less after listening to music that provided comfort, such as Coldplay’s Fix You or Sam Smith’s Lay Me Down.
dr. Helen Coulthard, an eating behavior expert at De Montfort University, said: “If you’re feeling stressed and worried that you’re going to eat a lot of unhealthy junk food, put on your headphones and listen to some wonderful, comforting music. .’
She added that the method may also help some people lose weight.
How music works to help people eat less isn’t known, but experts suggest it may be linked to the release of happy hormones like dopamine and serotonin.
Annemieke van den Tol, a music psychologist from the University of Lincoln who co-authored the study, said: “I think the message is that when we’re stressed, we can tend to do something that makes us feel better.” to feel. .
“And subconsciously, we might grab food because it gives us a positive dopamine, serotonin boost that makes us feel better.
“But think of alternatives – like music (which) can just as well give you a boost and make you feel better when you’re sad or stressed.”
For each study, 120 women were asked to name a song they listened to when they were sad, stressed or in need of distraction, and this was then played while eating under the test conditions.
The findings were presented at the British Science Festival, hosted by De Montfort University in Leicester.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden sat down this week for his first interview of his presidency with the news magazine show “60 Minutes.”

BOSTON (AP) — The sex lives of constipated scorpions, cute ducklings with an innate sense of physics, and a life-size rubber moose may not appear to have much in common, but they all inspired the winners of this year’s Ig Nobels, the prize for comical scientific achievement.
Held less than a month before the actual Nobel Prizes are announced, Thursday’s 32nd annual Ig Nobel prize ceremony was for the third year in a row a prerecorded affair webcast on the Annals of Improbable Research magazine’s website.
The winners, honored in 10 categories, also included scientists who found that when people on a blind date are attracted to each other, their heart rates synchronize, and researchers who looked at why legal documents can be so utterly baffling, even to lawyers themselves.
Even though the ceremony was prerecorded, it retained much of the fun of the live event usually held at Harvard University.
As has been an Ig Nobel tradition, real Nobel laureates handed out the prizes, using a bit of video trickery: The Nobel laureates handed the prize off screen, while the winners reached out and brought a prize they had been sent and self-assembled into view.
Winners also received a virtually worthless Zimbabwean $10 trillion bill.
Curiosity Ig-nited? Learn more about some of the winners:
GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW
“Science is fun. My sort of a tagline is you’re not doing science if you’re not having fun,” said Frank Fish, a biology professor at West Chester University in Pennsylvania who shared the physics Ig Nobel for studying why ducklings follow their mothers in single-file formation.
It’s about energy conservation: The ducklings are drafting, much like stock cars, cyclists and runners do in a race, he said.
“It all has to do with the flow that occurs behind that leading organism and the way that moving in formation can actually be an energetic benefit,” said the appropriately named Fish, whose specialty is studying how animals swim.
He shared the prize with researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, who found that the ducklings actually surfed in their mother’s wake.
THAT SYNCING FEELING
Eliska Prochazkova’s personal experiences inspired her research on dating that earned her and colleagues the cardiology Ig Nobel.
She had no problems finding her apparent perfect match on dating apps, yet she often found there was no spark when they met face-to-face.
So she set people up on blind dates in real social settings, measured their physiological reactions and found that the heart rates of people attracted to each other synchronized.
So is her work evidence of “love at first sight”?
“It really depends, on how you define love,” Prochazkova, a researcher at Leiden University in the Netherlands, said in an email. “What we found in our research was that people were able to decide whether they want to date their partner very quickly. Within the first two seconds of the date, the participants made a very complex idea about the human sitting in front of them.”
A CRUEL STING
Solimary García-Hernández and Glauco Machado of the University of São Paulo in Brazil won the biology Ig Nobel for studying whether constipation ruins a scorpion’s sex life.
Scorpions can detach a body part to escape a predator — a process called autotomy. But when they lose their tails, they also lose the last portion of the digestive tract, which leads to constipation — and, eventually, death, they wrote in the journal “Integrated Zoology.”
“The long-term decrease in the locomotor performance of autotomized males may impair mate searching,” they wrote.
THAT’S A MOOSE, DUMMY
Magnus Gers won the safety engineering Ig Nobel for making a moose “crash test dummy” for his master’s thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, which was published by the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute.
Frequent moose vs. vehicle collisions on Sweden’s highways often result in injuries and death to both human and animal, Gers said in an email. Yet automobile makers rarely include animal crashes in their safety testing.
“I believe this is a fascinating and still very unexplored area that deserves all the attention it can get,” he said. “This topic is mystical, life threatening and more relevant than ever.”
CAN YOU SPEAK LEGALESE?
Anyone who has ever read a terms of service agreement knows that legal documents can be downright incomprehensible.
That frustrated Eric Martinez, a graduate student in the brain and cognitive science department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who also has a law degree from Harvard.
He, Francis Mollica and Edward Gibson shared the literature Ig Nobel for analyzing what makes legal documents unnecessarily difficult to understand, research that appeared in the journal “Cognition.”
“Ultimately, there’s kind of a hope that lawyers will think a little more with the reader in mind,” he said. “Clarity doesn’t just benefit the layperson, it also benefits lawyers.”

DRESHER, Pa., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascensus—whose technology and expertise helps millions of people save for retirement, education, and healthcare—announced the results of the Newport/PLANSPONSOR Executive Benefits survey report and have found that employers are increasingly turning to nonqualified retirement plans to attract and retain key talent and senior leaders. The report can be downloaded here.
The biannual report represents the retirement industry's broadest and most comprehensive employer view of nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plans, and tracks insights and trends from hundreds of the nation's leading firms.
"With easily accessible compensation data, prevalent remote work opportunities, and improved video meeting technologies, employers must evaluate benefit offerings that will attract top talent," said Mike Shannon, Newport's senior vice president, nonqualified consulting. "This year's survey revealed a fundamental shift towards offering a nonqualified plan as a critical benefit to retain key talent and attract senior leaders in today's highly competitive talent marketplace," Shannon noted.
Key findings:
- The survey revealed a substantial increase in the number of nonqualified plans being implemented for small and mid-sized companies ($500 million of revenue) in order to stay competitive and ahead of the compensation and benefits curve. (50% in 2020 vs 80% now).
- Plan sponsors are more often using corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) as a financing strategy due to sizable asset/liability management advantages, (63% in 2020 vs 77% now), as well as a combination of COLI and mutual funds.
- Virtually all plan sponsors (91%) outsource some or all of their plan management to a third-party administrator (TPA) based on the need for a high degree of customization and flexibility as well as the IRC 409A risk mitigation required for plan recordkeeping and administration. (This is up from 86% in 2020).
- Fifty-seven percent of employers are using compensation (base salary and total compensation) to determine eligibility, up from 37% in Newport's previous survey in 2020.
The questionnaire was developed jointly by PLANSPONSOR and Newport and sent to a cross-section of organizations, including PLANSPONSOR subscribers, Fortune 1000 companies, and various other l for-profit and tax-exempt companies. Data collection included responses from 350 unique companies and organizations. The report can be downloaded here.
Shannon noted that employers leverage the benchmark data from the report with executive leadership when considering plan design features. Additionally, financial advisors use the report to help their clients benchmark plans and offer insight into current market competitiveness. The value of the data is enhanced by Newport's in-depth analysis, observations, and annotations by its expert nonqualified plan consultants.
"Ascensus and Newport completed our merger in April of this year and this report represents one of the earliest examples of our ability to bring even greater insights and expertise to a broader group of clients, advisors, and partners," said David Musto, president and CEO of Ascensus. "It's just one component of our long-term commitment to the nonqualified and qualified retirement market segments and a valuable tool for employers striving to strengthen and maintain their key and leadership ranks."

Aylesbury scout among hundreds of volunteers assisting Queen Elizabeth II's lying in state
A scout from Aylesbury is among the 120 volunteers across the UK helping assist with Queen Elizabeth II’s lying in state.
The scouts and volunteers from the Samaritans are teaming up to help where they can assisting the thousands of people traveling to London to pay their respects.
One of the people marshalling the infamous five-mile queue to see The Queen is George Leaver from Aylesbury.
He has spent the past few days completing tasks to make sure the lengthy proceedings at Westminster Palace move as smoothly as possible.
Most Popular
George said: “It’s really humbling to be at this historic event and it’s a massive honour to be doing my duty to the Queen one final time. My best
scouting experience is getting my Queen’s Scout Award, which was such a challenge and I’m so proud of myself for achieving this award.”
The Scout Association is sending volunteers aged between 18 and 25 to help the authorities.
Scouts wanted to play a role in the week of mourning as the group has a long tradition of assisting The Queen.
Buckinghamshire Scout Group notes that volunteers were present offering support at the late monarch’s coronation back in 1952.
A scouts spokesperson said: “Throughout her seven-decade reign, Her Majesty encouraged scouts to do their best and do their duty to help other people. “Those joining the Scouts promise to do their duty to the Queen and follow in her selfless service. The highest award in Scouting was the Queen’s Scout Award, where young people followed Her Majesty’s example of community, kindness and duty to the country.
"The Queen’s Scout Award (now the King’s Scout Award) is the highest honour in Scouting and was awarded for service to others and skills development. This honour is achieved by young people aged between 16 and 25 who have completed a range of challenges, which includes service to their community, completing an expedition in the wild countryside, undertaking a five-day residential project in a new environment, developing an existing talent or learning
some new skills to build on what they have already learnt in the scouts."
Over 100,000 people have achieved this accolade since its inception.
George will be volunteering in shifts with the other scouts in Victoria Tower Gardens to direct members of the public and keep them safe.

North Carolina charter school petitions US Supreme Court to review dress code ruling
NC state law protects charter schools as independent institutions exempt from rules, regulations applicable to public school districts
A North Carolina charter school is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider an appeals court ruling that the school violated female students’ constitutional rights by requiring them to wear skirts.
In June, a majority of the full U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the dress code at Charter Day School in Leland violated female students’ equal protection rights. The court’s majority concluded that since public charter schools receive public funds they’re "state actors" and subject to the Constitution’s equal protection clause.
In its petition, the school asks the Supreme Court to "review and reverse" the 4th Circuit’s decision, arguing that it’s a privately run school that receives public funding through its charter, and therefore it’s not a government-run entity, The StarNews reported.
School officials said in a news release Monday that the decision threatens the model.
NORTH CAROLINA DETECTIVES SEIZE $2.6M IN FENTANYL IN COUNTY'S LARGEST BUST, AUTHORITIES SAY
"This holding undoes the central feature of charter schools by treating their private operators as the constitutional equivalent of government-run schools," school officials said.
North Carolina state law protects charter schools as independent institutions exempt from rules and regulations applicable to public school districts, the school argued.
NORTH CAROLINA'S LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR THURSDAY, SEPT. 15
School founder Baker Mitchell has said the dress code was intended to create a "code of conduct where women are treated, they’re regarded as a fragile vessel that men are supposed to take care of and honor." For now, the dress code has been changed to allow girls to wear pants in line with the court ruling.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. health officials are warning against overuse of the lone drug available to treat monkeypox, saying that even a small mutation in the virus could render the pills ineffective.
The Food and Drug Administration updated its guidance this week for Tpoxx, which has been prescribed to tens of thousands of patients with the virus.
In an online update, FDA officials cautioned that a single molecular change to monkeypox “could have a large impact on the antiviral activity of Tpoxx.” Since viruses are constantly evolving to overcome obstacles to infection, including drugs, regulators stressed that doctors should be “judicious” in prescribing the medication.
Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday said Tpoxx should no longer be given to otherwise healthy adults who are not suffering severe symptoms.
“For most patients with healthy immune systems, supportive care and pain control may be enough,” agency officials said in a statement.
The moves to scale back Tpoxx’s use follow weeks of criticism from HIV advocates and other patient groups who have urged the Biden administration to make the antiviral drug more widely available. Tpoxx is approved for the related smallpox virus, and its use against monkeypox is considered experimental and tightly controlled by federal officials.
Doctors wishing to prescribe the drug must submit an application to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, documenting their patient’s need and agreeing to track their results and any side effects. Officials have shipped 37,000 courses of the drug to physicians.
Tpoxx works by targeting a single protein found on monkeypox, smallpox and similar viruses. The FDA said this week that research in labs, animals and people suggests multiple ways in which monkeypox could develop resistance to the therapy.
The update came as federal officials on Thursday expressed cautious optimism about the trajectory of the outbreak, noting that new cases have fallen about 50% since their peak in August.
During a White House briefing, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky attributed the decline to vaccinations, educational outreach and individuals reducing behaviors linked to spread. The vast majority of U.S. cases have been in men who have sex with men, though officials emphasize that the virus can infect anyone.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease official, noted that resistance is always a risk when using antiviral drugs.
“That’s why we’re uncomfortable when you only have a single drug,” Fauci told reporters. He added that a recently launched study of Tpoxx supported by the National Institutes of Health will track signs of mutation that could lead to resistance. The study is expected to enroll more than 500 patients across 60 U.S. sites.
Last month, the Biden administration invoked rare emergency powers to stretch the nation’s limited supply of monkeypox vaccines. And last week a separate declaration expedited the use of experimental tests for the virus.
But no changes were made to allow emergency use of Tpoxx, stoking complaints from groups representing gay and bisexual men.
The U.S. government’s national stockpile contains has more than 1.7 million courses of Tpoxx, originally manufactured for use during a potential bioterrorism attack.
The FDA approved the medication in 2018 under its “animal rule,” which allows approval based on animal data when human testing is unethical or unfeasible. Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980 by the World Health Organization, ruling out the possibility for human studies.
Even though the drug was approved for smallpox, its effectiveness was measured in monkeys infected with monkeypox, considered a reasonable predictor of smallpox’s effect on humans. Animals receiving Tpoxx survived at higher rates than those on a placebo. But FDA officials have cautioned that results in animals must be confirmed in human testing.
“Without human trials, we don’t know if Tpoxx is beneficial for humans with monkeypox,” FDA commissioner Dr. Robert Califf told Senate lawmakers at a hearing this week.
The CDC reported last week that 3.5% of patients tracked through its Tpoxx program reported side effects, mainly headache and nausea.
The agency has only gotten back about 200 forms from physicians documenting patient’s initial symptoms and results, accounting for less than 1% of the doses shipped since the start of the outbreak.

As Republican governors ramp up their high-profile transports of migrants to Democratic-run jurisdictions, the practice is getting a mixed reaction from Christian faith leaders — many of whom, especially evangelicals, have supported GOP candidates by large numbers in recent elections.
Some depict the actions as inhumanely exploiting vulnerable people for political ends, while others say it’s a harmless way of calling attention to the impact of immigration on states near the southern border.
“Playing political games scores points — and the hypocrisy of the current immigration system is easy to point out,” Ed Stetzer, a professor, dean and executive director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center in Illinois, said in a statement.
“However, it does not solve the actual problems. … Let’s fix the system,” he added, “and stop turning people into pawns of political one-upmanship.”
But the Rev. Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Dallas and a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, who imposed restrictive immigration policies during his term, backed the transports.
“Government officials who refuse to fulfill their biblical responsibility to protect our borders should be made to feel the effects of their lawless policies,” Jeffress said via email.
“Busing illegal migrants to Washington D.C. or Martha’s Vineyard is not exactly the same as sending them to Siberia,” he continued. “Most Americans would love the opportunity to visit either destination.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew immigrants on two planes to the upscale island of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts on Wednesday, while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has also dispatched migrants to cities with Democratic mayors. Most recently, on Thursday, two busloads from his state disembarked near Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey also has adopted the policy.
The Republican governors are trying to draw attention to what they contend is failed border policy under the Biden administration.
Brent Leatherwood, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s public policy agency, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said such actions “seem to be more about public relations.”
“We have called long for strengthened border protections and at the same time (for) folks who are coming into this country to be treated in a way that respects the imago dei (image of God),” he said.
Most Americans, including Southern Baptists, “want a solution to our broken immigration system,” Leatherwood added. “Let’s cut down on some of these actions and instead come to the table and figure out a solution that actually respects human dignity.”
Joshua Manning, pastor of the ethnically diverse Community Baptist Church in Noel, Missouri, a town of 1,800 with a large immigrant population, agreed that the transports are the wrong way to highlight a real problem.
“You shouldn’t be loading people up and treating them as political props — that’s dehumanizing,” Manning said.
He said, however, that immigration is a tricky subject. Places that have declared themselves in support of migrants and asylum seekers may not “see the difficulties of everything that’s associated with that,” he said.
In the mostly Latino neighborhood of Corona, in New York City’s Queens borough, the large congregation of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic church held a special service Wednesday to pray for the immigrants. In an interview, their pastor, the Rev. Manuel Rodriguez, called the transports a “horrible crime.”
“All of us are horrified about the steady violation of human rights by Gov. DeSantis and other governors who are so inhumane and unethical to keep sending human beings to places where they weren’t even informed that they’d be sent,” Rodriguez said.
“You don’t use human beings who are fleeing their homelands in fear, because of violence, hunger, persecution, because of the threat of rape … as tools, as objects to make political points,” he said.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The GOP’s nominee for Nevada governor said Thursday he would fight against a national abortion ban if Congress were to pass one.
“It’s the vote of the people within the state of Nevada, and I will support that,” Joe Lombardo, who is generally anti-abortion, told reporters while campaigning in the state with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. “That is an issue that doesn’t need to be in politics.”
Nevada voters codified the right to abortion up to 24 weeks into law in a 1990 referendum. Any order to further restrict abortion would have to come from a vote of the people, not the state legislature, unlike in many other states.
Earlier this week, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham proposed a near-total abortion ban after 15 weeks. The legislation undermined many GOP candidates’ arguments this summer that the future of abortion rights in the U.S. would be decided by individual states.
Lombardo, who is the Clark County sheriff, has long maintained that as governor he would respect the 1990 vote though he is Catholic and holds anti-abortion views.
Still, a nationwide abortion ban would supersede Nevada law, and it is unclear how Lombardo could fight one.
Lombardo’s announcement came in contrast to some Republicans who have shied away or supported Graham’s proposal. Republican April Becker, a candidate in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, opposes abortion except for instances of rape and incest. But she told NBC News this week that she would vote against a nationwide abortion ban, calling it unconstitutional for Congress to regulate abortion.
Also on Thursday, New Mexico’s Republican governor nominee proposed a referendum that could place new limitations on abortion access.
Following the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade, Nevada Gov. Sisolak signed an executive order saying Nevada will not assist other states that try to prosecute residents who travel to Nevada for abortions. It also ensures medical boards and commissions that oversee medical licenses do not discipline or disqualify doctors who provide abortions.
Though he has stepped back from when he said he would overturn the executive order, Lombardo has maintained that he would “look at it from the lens of being a pro-life governor.”
After Thursday’s rally, Sisolak spokesperson Natalie Gould released a statement saying “Joe Lombardo is lying.”
Lombardo and Youngkin spent the day holding events in both Las Vegas and Reno, where the Virginia governor evoked his own high-profile victory a year ago.
Lombardo attacked the Democratic incumbent Sisolak on education, crime and for closing nonessential businesses early in the COVID-19 pandemic. He talked of further diversifying Nevada’s economy, more power for school decision-making to parents and expanding charter schools.
“This was a movement,” Youngkin said of his victory later on. “And that movement is here now. It’s your turn.”

(NEXSTAR) – Doctors are paying close attention to warning signs out of the Southern Hemisphere that may indicate a rough flu season ahead in the United States.
Australia’s flu season usually peaks during their winter, in July or August, giving us a preview of what we may be able to expect during our peak flu season in the winter months. The country just experienced its fifth-worst flu season in history, said Dr. Andrew Pekosz, a virologist with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in a recent media briefing.
Two things made the season especially severe, Pekosz explained. First, the season started earlier than usual, catching some people off guard. Here at home, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told NBC News they are staying “very alert” for signs of an early flu spike.
“The first thing that we’ll look for is when local public health agencies start to report cases of influenza,” Pekosz said. “We shouldn’t see influenza until November or December at the earliest, and it shouldn’t peak until January or February.”
But if we start to see significant case numbers being reported between September and November, Pekosz said, “that’ll be the first sign that influenza is coming here earlier.”
If flu season starts earlier, you may want to consider getting vaccinated earlier, as well.
“It’s always difficult to time vaccinations correctly,” Pekosz admitted, since we can’t easily tell when cases may spike in our communities. “What I would do, particularly if you’re in a high-risk group, I would see about influenza vaccine availability in your area. The vaccine usually rolls out primarily in October, though some pharmacies may have it right now.”
The other aspect that made influenza particularly devastating in Australia this year is how hard it hit children and young people. A lot of children haven’t had much exposure to the virus in recent years thanks to measures put in place to prevent COVID-19 spread. Their immune systems proved especially vulnerable in Australia, joining the elderly as groups at high risk for serious illness. NBC News reports kids aged 5 to 9 reported the most cases, followed by kids under 4.
Pekosz said health officials in the U.S. will be paying close attention to who is being admitted to the hospital for influenza once infections begin to assess if children here are getting sicker than in years prior.
The good news, Pekosz said, is he belives the vaccine should be a good match for the flu strain we expect to see circulating. (Australia health officials, however, said it is too early to assess whether that was the case.) The CDC recommends everyone older than 6 months old get vaccinated against influenza annually (with a few exceptions).
“I would think about the influenza vaccine the same way you’re thinking about the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine,” Pekosz said. “Both of those are needed, both of those should be scheduled as soon as possible, and ideally at the same time, so that one doesn’t fall into the trap of getting one and then forgetting to come back for the other.”
Only about half of Americans got the flu vaccine in the 2020-2021 flu season, according to CDC data.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History said Thursday that a prehistoric human skeleton found recently in a flooded cave system along the country’s Caribbean coast was actually registered by the institute in 2019 and would not be threatened by a nearby tourist train project.
Earlier this week, archaeologist Octavio del Rio said he and fellow diver Peter Broger saw the shattered skull and skeleton partly covered by sediment in a cave. They reported it to the institute, which had not publicly spoken of the find until its statement Thursday.
“The referenced skeleton corresponds to a 2019 discovery and is fully registered and identified as part of the Holocene Archaeology program,” the institute said. It added that scientific analysis had still not been carried out on the remains, but that it was 400 yards (meters) from the path of the government’s Maya Train project and was not threatened.
Del Rio, who has worked with the institute in the past but who is not currently affiliated, said Thursday the fact that the discovery was made in 2019, but still had not been analyzed, illustrated how long it takes to explore and investigate the extensive cave systems in the train’s path.
“This proves the area’s archaeological potential for investigation of the first settlers of America, and what there still is to discover,” Del Rio said.
He had said the skeleton was about 8 meters (26 feet) underwater, about a half-kilometer (a third of a mile) into the cave system.
Given the distance from the cave entrance, the skeleton couldn’t have gotten there without modern diving equipment, so it must be over 8,000 years old, Del Rio had earlier said, referring to the era when rising sea levels flooded the caves.
Some of the oldest human remains in North America have been discovered in the sinkhole caves known as “cenotes” on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, and experts say some of those caves are threatened by the Mexican government’s Maya Train tourism project.
Del Rio feared that even if the train did not pass directly over the site, its construction could damage or contaminate the cave system.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is racing to finish his Maya Train project in the remaining two years of his term over the objections of environmentalists, cave divers and archaeologists. They say his haste will allow little time to study the ancient remains.
Activists say the heavy, high-speed rail project will fragment the coastal jungle and will run often above the fragile limestone caves, which — because they are flooded, twisty and often incredibly narrow — can take decades to explore.
Caves along part of the coast already have been damaged by construction above them, with cement pilings used to support the weight above.
The 950-mile (1,500-kilometer) Maya Train line is meant to run in a rough loop around the Yucatan Peninsula, connecting beach resorts and archaeological sites.

POLSON - What started as a fun day off for a group of friends, quickly turned into a sad venture when two black bears were killed at a Flathead cherry orchard.
“It was devastating,” said Geneva Finley, as she recalled the experience.
“For me, it was, it was shocking and heartbreaking because clearly, these bears were in the cherry trees eating berries,” said Ash Benavides.
These two ladies share the story of two black bears, killed at a cherry orchard in the Flathead area.
One was described as a cub while the other was older and is presumed to be the cub's mother.
Benavides – who took photos on that August day – said they saw a game warden talking to the owner of Pinkman Orchards after the bears were shot.
“The mom was just hanging in the tree," Benavides told MTN News. "I don't even know how high up really, really high up in the tree, which is a defense mode for bears. Clearly, she was trying to get away. Yeah, it was pretty shocking to see that.”
Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribal Fish and Game are investigating who killed the bears and why they were killed, but would not elaborate, saying the case remains under investigation.
Geneva Finley, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, recalled seeing tears of blood from the young black bear.
“It was just crying tears of blood and coming from tribal membership, we're taught to respect," said Finley. "You know, we're taught to respect the animals and live with them.”
Benavides and Finely say they think burn areas — from wildfires like the recent Elmo Fire — and a lack of berries due to early bloom, contributed to the black bears finding their way to the cherry orchard.
“It’s important that people understand coming on the reservation that our mentality is different, like how we live our lives and how we interact with animals," Finley said. "You know, knowing that our culture plays a huge part in how we interact with wildlife."
MTN News reached out to Pinkerman Orchards -- where the alleged shooting occurred — for comment but they have not responded at this time. We also spoke with Tribal Fish and Game who told us they are unable to comment further, saying it's an ongoing investigation.

(NewsNation) — Desperate to find missing newcomer Irene Gakwa, the Gillette, Wyoming, community has showed up with searches covering hundreds of miles. The search is being led by volunteer Stacy Koester.
Gakwa’s fiancé, Nathan Hightman, a person of interest in the case, sought a protective order against Koester. They squared off in court Thursday with the judge ultimately ruling in favor of Koester. How did the lead searcher end up here?
Social media posts by Koester about the search for Gakwa raised the ire of Hightman, resulting in him pushing for a protective order.
“I think he is worried that we’re closing in on him by sharing Irene’s story so much,” Koester said.
In court Thursday, the judge addressed Hightman, saying, “I can’t find that, sir, you met your burden of proof to prove that an act of stalking occurred in this case.”
Koester hopes the judge’s decision will give the community a better chance at finding Gakwa. Vindicated, she will be back out searching and sharing her opinions of Hightman on TikTok once again, all in the hopes of finding Gakwa or her body.
“I am searching for his missing fiancée, because I made a promise to Irene’s family, who is my family now, that I won’t stop searching until we bring her home and she has answers,” Koester said.
Gakwa, 32, is a recent immigrant from Kenya who lived with family in Idaho before moving to Wyoming with Hightman, who she reportedly met on Craigslist.
Her family grew concerned when they noticed Gakwa’s text messages had changed from a mixture of English and Swahili to solely English. They reported her missing in March.
Hightman told police that Gakwa packed clothing into two plastic bags and announced that she was leaving Gillette, Wyoming. He said she entered a dark-colored SUV and left the area.
Soon after that, police arrested Hightman and charged him with draining Gakwa’s bank accounts, deleting her email account and using her credit card at Walmart to buy a shovel, a pair of boots and a pair of pants. Police report that Hightman said he did it to force her to contact him in the event she needed money.
Hightman entered not guilty pleas to the charges he used Gakwa’s bank account and credit card.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the Gillette Police Department at 307-682-5155.

China sanctions Raytheon, Boeing Defence CEOs over Taiwan
China sanctions Raytheon, Boeing Defence CEOs over Taiwan
Beijing: China announced sanctions on Friday against the CEOs of American defence contractors Raytheon and Boeing Defence over a major US arms sale to rival Taiwan. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning did not specify what the sanctions would be against Gregory Hayes, chairman and CEO of Raytheon Technologies Corp., and Ted Colbert, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space and Security.
It wasn't immediately clear what impact they would have on the executives or their companies, but such sanctions are often mainly symbolic in nature. The US announced a $1.09 billion arms sale to Taiwan last week, including $355 million for Boeing's Harpoon missiles and $85 million for Raytheon's Sidewinder missiles.
We once again urge the US government and relevant parties to...stop arms sales to Taiwan and military contact with Taiwan, and stop creating new factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait," Mao said at a daily briefing. China claims Taiwan, a self-governing island of 23 million people off its east coast, as its territory and says it must eventually come under its control. Taiwan and China split in 1949 during a civil war that brought the Communist Party to power in Beijing.
The US does not formally recognise Taiwan under its one-China policy but is the island's main supplier of military equipment and is bound by its own laws to ensure Taiwan can defend itself. (AP)

Former England football captain David Beckham has now passed the Queen's coffin after queuing since 2am this morning to attend the Lying In State. Speaking about joining the thousands in the queue, the ex-Manchester United star added: “I thought by coming at 2am it was going to be a little bit quieter – I was wrong.”
He stood with members of the public who had lined the long walk to Westminster Hall for more than 12 hours to pay his respects. Wearing a dark suit and black tie, Beckham added: "We can all see with the love that has been shown, how special she is and how special she was and the legacy that she leaves behind.
“It’s a sad day, but it’s a day for us to remember the incredible legacy that she’s left. So this day was always going to be difficult, and it’s difficult for the nation, it’s difficult for everyone around the world, because I think everyone is feeling it, and our thoughts are with the family and obviously with everybody here today.
“Because it’s special to be here, to celebrate, and to hear the different stories that people have to say.”
When asked whether he had any anecdotes about his experiences with the Queen, he told ITV News: “Probably the most special moment for me was when I received my OBE. To receive my OBE, I took my grandparents with me, who were the ones that really brought me up to be a huge royalist and a fan of the royal family, and obviously I had my wife there as well.
“To step up, to get my honour, but then also Her Majesty, to ask questions, to talk, I was so lucky that I was able to have a few moments like that in my life, to be around Her Majesty.
Speaking about paying tribute to the Queen on the football pitch, Beckham said: “Every time that we stood there when we wore those Three Lion shirts and I had my armband and we sang God Save Our Queen, that was something that meant so much to us.
“Every time that we did it, it was something special."

Woman accused of killing man she met through social media, authorities say
RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT/WDAM/Gray News) – A woman from Nashville was charged with the murder of a man from Mississippi she met through social media, according to police.
Authorities said Sierra Inscoe, 20, and Carson Sistrunk, 24, met online and had planned to meet in person, WLBT reports.
Sistrunk was reported missing Sept. 6, but WDAM reports that his body was discovered last week at an oil well site by a worker who noticed tire tracks.
Jefferson Davis County Sheriff Ron Strickland said Sistrunk had been shot.
Authorities said Inscoe became a suspect in Sistrunk’s killing after being stopped by an officer while she was driving a vehicle that belonged to Sistrunk.
Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrested Inscoe on Sunday. The agency issued a warrant for her arrest for a felony taking of a motor vehicle charge out of Rankin County.
Inscoe was denied bond during her initial court appearance Wednesday.
Although Inscoe is being charged with murder in Jefferson Davis County, she is currently being held at the Rankin County Detention Center.

Bells rang through Mexico City Thursday night, recreating the 1810 call to arms famously known as El Grito — the cry to overthrow Spanish rule and fight for independence.
"Viva México!" President Andrés Manuel López Obrador shouted repeatedly — calls that were loudly echoed by the massive crowd that packed Mexico City's Zócalo, the capital's main square. He celebrated Mexico's identity, its culture, its indigenous people; he also acknowledged the challenges the country faces.
"Death to corruption, death to classism, death to racism!" López Obrador said in Spanish. Responding to each phrase, the crowd shouted, "Muera!" (Die!)
Estimates of the huge crowd's size varied. At one point, Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said she was told 130,000 people were in the square; as the night crept into the early hours of Friday, she reported an even bigger number: 140,000.
It was Mexico's first full-fledged Independence Day celebration since the COVID-19 pandemic dampened 2020's event, and people responded with glee, wearing green, white and red paint and bushy fake mustaches.

The crowd braved periodic rainfall, rewarded with a concert by norteño legends Los Tigres del Norte.
The government issued a video of the celebration, showing a military honor guard presenting Mexico's tricolor flag to López Obrador, followed by his invocation to the crowd, the national anthem and a large fireworks show.
As is traditional, when the president finished his brief speech he repeatedly yanked on a long sash to ring a bell perched high in the palace's wall — the same church bell the priest Miguel Hidalgo rang 212 years ago in the town of Dolores, signaling the start of the war against Spain and the fight for Mexico's future.
The festivities extended beyond Mexico City and Mexico's borders. A special light show marked the day in Dallas, for instance.

Mexican expats and others abroad traded tips on where to find traditional dishes like pozole and chiles en nogada -- which Mexico's embassy to the U.S. describes as "a poblano chile prepared with ingredients that symbolize the Mexican flag," including parsley, a walnut cream sauce and pomegranate seeds.

The formal date of Mexico's Independence Day is Sept. 16. But the commemorations begin the night before, to mark the early-morning call to arms that rang out from Dolores.
López Obrador's guests for the celebration presented an interesting tableau. Watching from the National Palace's balcony were Bolivia's former President Evo Morales, Uruguay's former President José Mujica, and Aleida Guevara, the daughter of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. They stood alongside John and Gabriel Shipton, the father and brother of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

GENEVA (AP) — All European Union nations except Hungary are moving forward at the U.N.’s human rights body to hold Russia’s government accountable for a crackdown on media, arbitrary arrests, restrictions on free speech and other rights concerns after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine this year, diplomats said Thursday.
Back-channel negotiations at the Human Rights Council by 26 EU nations hope to give teeth — such as by appointing a rights expert to work on Russia — to efforts to keep tabs on rights violations in Russia. The move, if successful, would add a new element of scrutiny on Russia. A team of U.N.-backed investigators is already looking into rights abuses related to the war in Ukraine.
Efforts to draft a resolution, spearheaded by EU member Luxembourg, would create a “special rapporteur” on Russia to chronicle and call out rights violations in Russia — such as arbitrary detentions, arrests of members of civil society, the closure of NGOs and independent press groups, said a Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Two Western diplomats said Hungary, whose government under Prime Minister Viktor Orban has resisted some EU efforts to punish Russia over the war, had not joined with other EU members in pushing for the resolution.
The Russian government has taken a number of steps to limit dissent over the war at home. Russia had been a member of the 47-member state council until earlier this year, when it suspended its participation on its own just as the U.N. General Assembly was set to strip Russia of its council membership over the war.
The council’s four-week autumn session began Monday, and resolutions will not be voted on until the final days of the session.
On Tuesday, Vaclav Balek, the Czech ambassador in Geneva, spoke on behalf of the EU to say the bloc condemned media censorship, the silencing of independent voices and abuse of Russian legislation that forbids “so-called ‘discrediting’ of the Russian armed forces and raising of any allegations of crimes committed by Russian armed forces in Ukraine.”
Russia has fired back, accusing some EU nations of reviving “Nazism” and faulting some Western countries for restricting broadcasts of the Russia Today network, among other things.

Germany scrutinising Russian moves in Mali's Gao region -defence minister
By Sabine Siebold and Sarah Marsh
BERLIN, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The German military is scrutinising the actions of Russian forces that recently arrived near its main camp in the Gao area of Mali and is keeping a close eye on the operation of the airport there, Germany's defence minister told Reuters.
Berlin has deployed some 1,000 troops to Mali, most near the northern town of Gao where their main task is to gather reconnaissance for U.N. peacekeeping mission MINUSMA, set up in 2013 to back foreign and local troops battling Islamist militants.
The future of the German mission is in doubt, however, after the latest dispute with the ruling military junta in Bamako and the arrival of Russian forces in Gao, which added to Berlin's unease over an increasing Russian military presence in Mali.
"What are the tasks of the Russian troops that have shown up directly next to our camp? Are they only supporting Malian soldiers with equipment and training? Or do the Russians influence the operation of Gao airport?" German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said in an interview.
"That would of course be a difficult situation for us, which would then have to be completely reassessed."
So far, the Russian presence has had no concrete impact on the German military operation, according to Lambrecht.
In April, Germany called on the junta to cease working with Russian military contractors if it wanted to fully reactivate the European Union's training of the country's armed forces.
The Russian private military firm Wagner Group began supplying hundreds of fighters last year to support the Malian military and has since been accused by human rights groups and local residents of participating in massacres of civilians - accusations it has not responded to.
The German military suspended its reconnaissance mission for more than three weeks from mid-August after a spat with Mali's junta over flight clearances, and only resumed operations earlier this month.
Lambrecht said the United Nations had struck deals with the Malian government with regard to the flight clearances and regular exchanges of troops at the camps, and that the procedures were currently working.
"Of course, we are observing very closely what exactly we can do to advance the democratisation and stabilisation of Mali," Lambrecht said.
"We see that, temporarily, there are no clearances for drone flights. But we need these flights because without the surveillance of the drones and the resulting protection, our forces cannot go out of the camp as far (as they normally would go on patrol)."
Lambrecht also signalled that Germany would keep up its military engagement in Niger, which shares a border with Mali and where German troops have been part of a training mission that is supposed to wind up at the end of this year.

Putin is likely humiliated as Russia’s military losses mount in Ukraine, a Russia expert told Insider.
-
Such defeats are made worse due to the US, UK, and other NATO allies aiding Ukraine’s cause.
-
“He misjudged the resilience of the West,” Simon Miles, a Duke professor said of Putin.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked war against Ukraine nearly seven months ago, he significantly underestimated the willingness of Western governments to become involved in the conflict between two Soviet neighbors, an expert on Russia told Insider.
That miscalculation was on full display earlier this month as Ukraine secured one of its biggest victories yet following the launch of two major offensives in the northeast and south in an effective effort to reclaim occupied territory that sent Russian troops fleeing — an assault that while exclusively executed by Ukrainian forces, was reportedly made possible thanks to US and UK intelligence, strategy, and weapons.
“The last thing I want to do is take anything away from the pretty extraordinary heroism of the Ukrainians on the ground who are using those tools,” Simon Miles, an assistant professor at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy and a historian of the Soviet Union and US-Soviet relations said. “But the preparation of that battle space and the un-leveling of the playing field in the Ukrainians’ favor is in big part a story of the weapons they’ve been getting from the US and other NATO allies and then using to extraordinary effect.”
The Ukrainians’ soaring success coupled with the presence that Putin’s geopolitical adversaries played in recent victories have almost certainly left the Russian president fuming, Miles said.
“Absolutely Putin is aware of this,” the professor told Insider. “This is, I’m sure, frustrating and humiliating to him because I think he genuinely didn’t believe this would happen.”
Putin’s personal vendetta against Ukraine and his misplaced assuredness in Russia’s military supremacy likely blinded him to the Western world’s willingness to come to Ukraine’s aid.
“He misjudged the resilience of the West,” Miles said. “He misjudged the willingness of western governments and firms to take a hit to punish Russia, and certainly the willingness of Europe to imperil their supply of gas.”
Russia has targeted the continent’s natural gas supply, shutting down Nord Stream 1 pipeline and leaving just one major pipeline delivering gas to all of Europe in retaliation against European sanctions on Russia. Energy prospects throughout Europe remain somewhat grim and Miles predicted that Putin will try to push Europe to its limit as winter comes to the continent in a few short months. But recent inventory data suggests the European Union is actually set to meet its winter natural gas storage goals two months early, despite Russia’s chokehold.
The US, too, has had to make sacrifices as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Gas prices skyrocketed earlier this summer and remain high in many places, while increased shipping prices have impacted the country as well.
Putin’s war has also had massive implications on global politics. The notoriously neutral Finland and Sweden quickly made moves to join NATO following Russia’s incursion — an ironic consequence of the war, considering Putin’s goal to hinder the military alliance’s power.
Russia’s mounting military losses in conjunction with the Western world’s rallying behind Ukraine is a worst-case scenario for Putin.
“I think this is driving him nuts. I think he’s totally miserable right now,” Miles said.
Experts told Insider’s John Haltiwanger that Russia’s strategic defeat throughout the war thus far has “dramatically” altered perceptions of Russia’s military strength and may ultimately put Putin’s regime in jeopardy.
“All of this is pretty humiliating for Putin, as it should be,” Miles said. “This is legitimate humiliation on the world stage.”

Husband who planned murder-for-hire plot against wife released on $100,000 bail, officials say
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO/Gray News) – A Kentucky man was arrested after officials say he was planning to hire someone to kill his wife.
According to an arrest citation from the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Jeffery Young, 51, sought out a confidential informant to kill his wife with the goal of not becoming a suspect.
The informant provided detectives with information and two audio recordings with Young from Sept. 6 and 12. During the first recording, detectives said Young explained several ways he thought the murder-for-hire plot could play out.
The first recording indicated that Young would take his wife to a “trashy” bar where he would get her drunk. Someone would then begin an altercation with her, in which they, “could then shoot her and take off,” the citation said.
They also spoke about staging a robbery at his wife’s place of business, the citation states.
In the second recording, Young told the informant that he visited his wife’s place of business the week before to assure there were no cameras.
The informant told detectives Young had been giving him money to fix their getaway car. He reportedly paid the informant $400 to get new tires and promised he would get more money to fix the windshield.
Detectives arrested Young on Tuesday and charged him with solicitation to murder.
Young was booked into the Warren County Regional Jail but released on a $100,000 bond the following day.

BLOOMINGTON — Having been sworn in as McLean County's top prosecutor, newly appointed McLean County State's Attorney Erika Reynolds said one of her top priorities will be to bring more stability to her office.
"We've been through a lot over the last decade," Reynolds said. "Obviously, we've had a lot of turnover with the state's attorneys so just overall stability."
The McLean County Board on Thursday chose McLean County Assistant State's Attorney Erika Reynolds to replace departing state's attorney Don Knapp.
In August, Knapp announced he would be stepping down from his position on Friday to serve as a judge in the 11th Judicial Circuit, which has jurisdiction in McLean, Ford, Livingston, Logan and Woodford counties.
Reynolds was among the interested candidates who submitted resumes to county administrators. Two other finalists were interviewed during an executive committee meeting on Monday: McLean County Assistant State's Attorney Aaron Hornsby and Woodford County Assistant State's Attorney Erik Gibson.
Knapp and Reynolds both were sworn into their new positions during special ceremonies at the county courthouse on Friday.
Reynolds said she is humbled by the vote of confidence and looks forward to serving the citizens of McLean County.
"I certainly think that being a prosecutor requires you to balance every case individually, look at every individual crime that comes before you, you weigh community safety versus compassion for the offender and it's important I think that speaking on behalf of the victims is the primary concern I have as a prosecutor," Reynolds said.
Each candidate was interviewed by the county's executive committee on Monday.
McLean County Board Chairman John McIntyre said interviews were also conducted with law enforcement officials, former state's attorneys and other associates of each candidate. The county board also was polled about their preference of candidate.
"I want to note that all three candidates did well and received positive comments and responses," McIntyre said. "One candidate stood out for the overwhelming amount of positive responses and comments from former associates in the fields of law enforcement, judicial and prosecution."
Knapp has served as state's attorney since he was appointed in 2018 to replace Jason Chambers, who left the office to serve as a circuit judge. Knapp also had served as an assistant county administrator and an assistant state's attorney for the civil division.
Reynolds added that in addition to the turnover within her office, law school admissions are down and the number of law students passing the bar is down. However, her office is working on recruitment efforts for qualified lawyers.
Reynolds will fill the remainder of Knapp's term as state's attorney, which runs through 2024.
As state's attorney, Reynolds said she expects there to be a greater commitment of her time and effort. However, she added that her current position prosecuting crimes against children already requires her to respond to officials on her days off.
"It wasn't unusual for me to wake up with multiple text messages or to be called in the middle of the night to consult about a specific issue," Reynolds said. "And so people don't realize that we have at our office an (assistant state's attorney) that is on call all the time for law enforcement to reach out to if there's an issue."

The Brooklyn mother accused of murdering her three young children, drowning them in the waters off Coney Island with depraved indifference to their welfare, was remanded after a brief bedside arraignment Friday at the hospital where she has been in custody since the deaths earlier this week.
Erin Merdy answered in a soft voice as she was asked questions like, "Can you hear me," as she sat in her hospital bed during the roughly five-minute hearing. The judge ordered protective custody, medical attention and a psychological examination for the 30-year-old woman as well.
Prosecutors say witnesses told police she admitted hurting her children: 3-month-old Oliver Bondarev, 4-year-old Lilana Merdy and 7-year-old Zachary Merdy. Erin Merdy faces up to three life sentences if convicted of the charges. Her attorney was at the hospital Friday and couldn't directly be reached for comment early Friday.
Friday's arraignment comes less than 48 hours after the city medical examiner said all three children had drowned and ruled all three cases homicides. They lived in the same Neptune Avenue home where officers responding to a 911 call from a concerned relative initially went early Monday as the scale of the tragedy began to unfold.
That was just the first stop in what would be an exhaustive, hours-long search to find the children. It was 1:40 a.m.
No one answered the door when officers knocked, but it was unlocked, officials said. Cops encountered a man in the building who identified himself as the father of one of the three children. He expressed the same concerns as the 911 caller, NYPD officials said, and told police he believed the mother and children were on the boardwalk in Coney Island.
A full-scale search commenced, with officers canvassing the boardwalk, beach, streets and local hospitals.

Cops found the mother on Riegelmann Boardwalk near Brighton 6th Street about 90 minutes later. Police said she was soaking wet and barefoot and appeared to be in a disturbed state when she was found. The woman had some family with her but not the three children, police said, adding she wasn't communicative with cops.
At that point, the search turned even more desperate, with aviation and harbor units called in and reinforcements added to scour the shoreline. The children were found unconscious at the water's edge by 35th Street around 4:45 a.m., about three hours after the initial 911 call. Life-saving efforts began but the children died at Coney Island Hospital.
A security supervisor at the mom's building said the family had moved in less than a year ago. NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said the mother had not been reported to authorities previously for abusing or neglecting her children.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — An 18-year-old gunman was arrested less than two hours after he opened fire on a woman’s car during a road-rage incident Thursday morning, according to authorities.
The Volusia Sheriff’s Office said the incident began when a woman driving around 6 a.m. encountered an erratic driver with no headlights on.
Authorities said the car’s erratic driving caused another vehicle to drive onto the shoulder to let it pass. The erratic driver then tried to pass the woman’s car but instead collided with her rear bumper.
“After that, the suspect drove alongside the victim’s SUV for several minutes before opening fire out of the driver’s window,” the sheriff’s office said in a release.
In total, the woman’s car was shot seven times. The woman was not injured.
Using “license plate reader technology,” detectives identified a suspect and were outside his house within 20 to 30 minutes after the shooting.
Around 8:25 a.m., deputies stopped the suspect, 18-year-old Bryan Holmes, as he was getting into his car to back out of the driveway.
When asked if he had a gun on him, Holmes said no.
“When his hands moved toward his waistline, a deputy grabbed Holmes’ arms, moved him away from the vehicle, and saw a handgun fall to the driveway,” according to a release from the sheriff’s office.
In an interview with detectives, Holmes said the woman had cut him off in traffic, and he’d hit her rear bumper. He also told authorities he fired several rounds into the vehicle in an attempt to hit the tires and disable the vehicle, according to the release.
He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and possession of a concealed weapon used in the commission of a felony by a person under 24. He was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail with a bond of $40,000.

EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) — Migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard on the orders of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be moved Friday to housing on a military base on Cape Cod, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said.
The Republican governor said the move to the mainland would be voluntary. Baker praised residents and officials on Martha's Vineyard for taking care of the nearly 50 migrants after their unexpected arrival on Wednesday but said the island lacks the resources to house the migrants for the long-term.
At Joint Base Cape Cod, the migrants will be given dormitory-style housing, food and services, Baker said. Families will be given separate housing.
Authorities have not said what will happen to any migrants who choose not to make the move to Cape Cod.

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency will coordinate efforts to help the migrants. Baker said the state will also activate up to 125 members of the National Guard to assist in the relief effort.
Joint Base Cape Cod houses a Coast Guard base as well as facilities for other branches of the armed services.
Upon arrival in Martha’s Vineyard, where former President Barack Obama has a home, the migrants were provided with meals, shelter, health care and information about where to find work.
The vacation island south of Boston, whose year-round residents include many blue-collar workers, appeared to absorb the dozens of arrivals, who are mostly from Venezuela, without a major hitch.
“We are grateful to the providers, volunteers and local officials that stepped up on Martha’s Vineyard over the past few days to provide immediate services to these individuals,” Baker said in a statement emailed to reporters Friday. "
Joint Base Cape Cod contains facilities for the U.S. Coast Guard and other branches of the armed services and has provided emergency housing in the past, as it did for Louisiana residents fleeing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The governors of Texas and Arizona have sent thousands of migrants on buses to New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., in recent months. But the latest surprise moves — which included two flights to Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday paid for by Florida — reached a new level of political theater that critics derided as inhumane.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the flights to Martha’s Vineyard were part of an effort to “transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations.” The Republican's office didn’t answer questions about where migrants boarded planes and what they were told about the trip.

KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar on Friday issued a stern warning to party legislators and leaders that they would be “rested” in the coming Legislative Assembly elections if they do not work and mobilise people in support of the ‘Bharat Jodo yatra’ launched by Rahul Gandhi, MP.
Mr. Shivakumar said some legislators, including former Minister and MLA R.V. Deshpande, have refused to send party workers to the yatra which will enter Karnataka on September 30. All leaders who refused to do party work during the yatra would not be given a ticket to contest 2023 Assembly elections, Mr. Shivakumar warned.
Speaking at a meeting organised to make preparations for the ‘Bharat Jodo yatra’ here, Mr. Shivakumar is learnt to have taken a dig at the supporters of former Chief Minister SIddaramaiah and said that there are some legislators in the party “who are not ready for a day’s work.”
ADVERTISEMENT
Two MLAs a day
The KPCC chief said daily two MLAs have been attached with Mr. Gandhi during the yatra in the State. “You work if you are an aspirant for a ticket in the next elections. Don’t put neither mine nor Siddaramaiah’s photographs, you work for the party,” he told party workers.
“The party will prefer to give ticket to youngsters next year,’‘ Mr. Shivakumar said, and told party workers to join the yatra in large numbers.
At Badanavalu
On account of the yatra, KPCC working president R. Dhurvanarayan said Gandhi Jayanthi this year would be celebrated at Badanavalu village in Nanjangud of Mysuru district. Mahatma Gandhi visited the place near Nanjangud in 1932. Every year, the party celebrates Gandhi Jayanthi at the party office in Bengaluru.
Priyanka to join
Mr. Shivakumar said AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi will join Karnataka’s leg of the yatra. Ms. Gandhi will hold conversation with women workers of the party during the yatra. Senior leaders, including former Chief Minister M. Veerappa Moily, attended the meeting.

Richard Walker brings to Bain his deep expertise on web3, metaverse, digital assets, technology strategy and transformation
NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bain & Company announced today that web3 and metaverse expert Richard Walker will join the firm as a partner in the Financial Services practice in the New York office and co-lead the global scaling of Bain's web3 and metaverse services. As a leading thinker and practitioner in this space, Richard brings deep expertise in navigating how web3 has the potential to introduce new opportunities across a variety of sectors. He has deep experience having recently led web3 projects for global banks, regional banks, hedge funds, payments companies and digital asset natives.
Prior to Bain, Richard was practice head for blockchain and digital assets at another global business consulting firm. With nearly 30 years of consulting experience across the Americas and EMEA, much of his work has been serving major financial institutions and helping them with technology and operations strategies to understand and leverage the latest disruptive technology for competitive advantage.
"Web3 is a priority for our clients and has broad implications across sectors," said Bain & Company's Thomas Olsen, global co-lead of the web3 and metaverse practice. "Richard's experience working with blockchain, digital assets and leading web3 projects for multiple financial institutions will help us scale our support to clients as they navigate the opportunities and challenges that web3 can present."
While web3 has the potential to introduce new opportunities, it will also impact cost structures and profit pools. Tokenization, blockchain payment rails and decentralized finance (DeFi) are pushing financial institutions to rethink business models and market structures. Digital rights ownership (NFTs) will enable consumer brands to reimagine loyalty programs, engagement and brand experience. Moreover, the metaverse will change the way people engage with technology and commerce, propelling companies to rethink how they interact with customers in new virtual environments.
"We are enthusiastic about helping our clients unpack the implications that web3 and the metaverse have on their industry and business," said Bain & Company's Gene Rapoport, global co-lead of the web3 and metaverse practice. "Richard has a long track record of helping financial institutions evaluate ways web3 technology could present opportunities and threats, and chart a course for long-term value generation."
In addition to his client work, Richard will be an active member of the Veterans at Bain affinity group. He holds an undergraduate degree in Computer Information Systems from Chapman University in Orange, California.

iGaming affiliate company Leadstar Media has now officially been granted authorization to operate in the state of Maryland after being approved as a registered vendor by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission. Leadstar will be added to Maryland's approved vendors list within a week of approval.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This decision allows the company to promote operators coming to Maryland, as sports betting goes live in the state.
The Free State is set to launch online sports betting in the coming months and many major operators have submitted applications to go live themselves. Leadstar will now be able to offer Maryland sports bettors in-depth reviews and exclusive offers from sports betting sites through the several US products they operate, including SportsbooksOnline.com and UnitedGamblers.com.
Leadstar Media is operational in dozens of countries around the world, but sees the United States as a key part of its global strategy moving forward.
Eskil Kvarnström, Leadstar Media CEO said: "While we've been able to grow in many markets all over the world, achieving that level of success in the US has always been a major goal of ours as a company."

- Gold remains under intense selling pressure for the fourth successive day on Friday.
- Aggressive Fed rate hike bets boost the USD and drive flows away from the metal.
- The risk-off impulse offers some support to the XAU/USD amid oversold conditions.
Gold continues losing ground for the fourth successive day on Friday and drops to its lowest level since April 2020. The selling pressure now seems to have abated, at least for the time being, allowing the XAU/USD to hold above the $1,650 level.
The US dollar catches fresh bids on the last day of the week amid expectations of a hefty rate hike by the Fed and turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the dollar-denominated gold. In fact, the markets started pricing in the possibility of a full 100 bps rate increase at the upcoming FOMC meeting on September 20-21 following the release of the stronger US CPI earlier this week.
Moreover, market players also expect the US central bank to deliver another supersized 75 bps rate hike in November. This remains supportive of elevated US Treasury bond yields, which offer additional support to the greenback and further contribute to driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal. That said, the risk-off impulse helps limit losses for the safe-haven gold, at least for now.
The market sentiment remains fragile amid worries that the rapid rise in borrowing costs will lead to a deeper global economic downturn. This, along with the economic headwinds stemming from fresh COVID-19 lockdowns in China and the protracted Russia-Ukraine war, has been fueling recession fears. This, in turn, tempers investors' appetite for riskier assets and triggers a sell-off in the equity markets.
Apart from this, extremely oversold conditions on the 4-hour chart hold back bearish traders from placing fresh bets around gold. Investors might also prefer to move to the sidelines ahead of next week's key central bank event risks. The Fed is scheduled to announce its decision on Wednesday, which will be followed by the Bank of Japan, Swiss National Bank and the Bank of England meetings on Thursday.
Nevertheless, the fundamental backdrop remains tilted firmly in favour of bearish traders and suggests that the path of least resistance for gold is to the downside. Hence, any meaningful recovery attempt might still be seen as a selling opportunity and runs the risk of fizzling out rather quickly.

Fewer than 30% of older adults who need more intensive treatment for high blood pressure actually get it, new research shows. And the problem may be worsening.
Nearly half of U.S. adults – about 116 million people – have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. When not properly controlled, it can lead to serious health problems, including heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.
"We haven't been doing well, despite robust evidence demonstrating the strong benefits of good blood pressure control in older adults," said Dr. Nicholas Chiu, the study's lead author and a clinical fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "This is a major public health gap that needs to be tackled."
Common in older adults, high blood pressure is a leading cause of preventable death and an under-recognized contributor to premature disability, according to the most recent hypertension care guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association.
Since 2017, high blood pressure has been defined by those organizations as a reading of 130 mmHg and higher for systolic blood pressure, the "top" number of a reading, or 80 and higher for the diastolic measurement, or "bottom" number. The old definition was 140/90 and higher.
For the new study, published Friday in the AHA journal Hypertension, researchers looked at a decade of national data from a sampling of adults 60 and older who visited their primary care provider and previously had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The research team zeroed in on which patients underwent "appropriate antihypertensive intensification," defined as adding an anti-hypertensive drug to their care for high blood pressure.
Based on office blood pressure measurements, treatment intensification was warranted in as many as 7,404 primary care visits captured in the data from 2008 to 2018, representative of up to 293 million visits nationally.
In determining who had high blood pressure, the researchers used three varied blood pressure targets – those published by ACC/AHA, the European Society of Cardiology, and the American College of Physicians/American Academy of Family Physicians (ACP/AAFP). The researchers also came up with their own all-inclusive measure that met all three guidelines.
Appropriate intensification of medicine over the study period never exceeded 27.5%. That was according to the most liberal measure, the all-inclusive yardstick, for patients who hadn't previously been taking drugs for high blood pressure. By that same measure, just 15.3% of patients already on hypertension drugs had appropriate intensification.
Under all three of the published sets of targets, the percentage of patients receiving appropriate treatment intensification declined over the study period. Most dramatically, under ACP/AAFP targets, appropriate treatment intensification decreased from nearly 25% of patients in 2008-2009 to about 15% in 2015-2018.
Chiu called for professional societies to use more uniform blood pressure targets. "That could provide a bit more clarity" on what the best treatment strategy might be, he said.
While the study didn't address the reasons behind the low numbers, senior author Dr. Kenneth Mukamal offered several theories, including doctors' concerns that blood pressure-lowering drugs might cause older adults to fall, and patients' reluctance to add more medications that might have more side effects.
He also said it can be difficult for primary care providers to treat high blood pressure aggressively in a typical 15-minute visit.
"We're trying to control not just blood pressure, but cholesterol and diet and weight, and the documentation burdens have grown bigger as well. Speaking from my own experience, it's harder than ever to be a primary care doctor," said Mukamal, associate professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
He said future studies are needed to learn which strategies will motivate medical professionals to better treat high blood pressure among older adults. One strategy, Mukamal said, might involve "tweaking the medical record systems to automatically alert doctors to add a medication when a person's blood pressure is above where we'd like it to be."
Dr. Robert Brook, who was not involved in the new research, called it "an important study (that) highlights the remarkably high rates of treatment inertia in real-world clinical practices."
"There's a need for innovative strategies," said Brook, a professor and director of cardiovascular disease prevention at Wayne State University in Detroit. "Growing evidence supports reducing or eliminating the mandatory role for physicians in the day-to-day management of uncomplicated hypertension. Algorithm-driven care delivered by pharmacists or nurses or trained community health workers has proven to improve blood pressure control in a variety of trials and vanguard programs."
Patients also need to be more proactive, and know their blood pressure levels at home and in the clinic, Brook said. "They should work with their provider and encourage them to make the necessary treatment changes to achieve blood pressure control."

Fox Sports 1's morning debate show, "Undisputed" had been building up hype that reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Micah Parsons would be a weekly guest on the show, joining the program.
During the Cowboys' "Sunday Night Football" clash against the Buccaneers, co-host Skip Bayless tweeted it out, saying that the first Tuesday after Week 1 would be Parsons' first of many weekly appearances on the show.
YOU CAN SEE MICAH PARSONS EVERY TUESDAY DURING THE SEASON ON UNDISPUTED, STARTING DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) September 12, 2022
When the announcement came, Parsons tweeted out his excitement about joining in the program.
Blessings ! Excited to start this journey ! https://t.co/9go0KPykHa

POWER RANKINGS: Eagles, Vikings climb NFC hierarchy; 49ers, Packers, Cowboys slide after Week 1
Only one problem: Parsons was a no-show. Bayless explained on the show that the network had equipment installed in Parsons' Dallas home and he had been excited about joining the show weekly after the announcement was made, but the day before the episode, he went radio silent.
"Then yesterday came, and all day yesterday, we could not reach Micah. Then, as we got into the evening, we couldn't even reach any of his people," Bayless said. "So it led us to believe well maybe he was just crushed by the opening-night loss, which is highly possible. We are still extremely hopeful that he will join us next Tuesday."

Why Micah Parsons missed 'Undisputed'
Sunday wasn't exactly the ideal start for the reigning NFC East champion and Super Bowl contending Cowboys. Dallas' offense mustered just three points in a stunning 19-3 loss to the Buccaneers that saw star quarterback Dak Prescott hurt in the fourth quarter in an injury that will cost him several games.
According to the Dallas Star Telegram's Clarence E. Hill Jr., Parsons missed his scheduled appearance with the show because he felt the need to be a leader for the team after the tough opening weekend.
"My starting QB went down and we lost," Parsons said, per the Star Telegram. "I just didn't think it was appropriate for me to be on the show at that point. I need to step up and be a leader. It shouldn't be on TV, it should be in this locker room. This is where my focus should be right now."
NFL WEEK 2 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread
Parsons said there was a miscommunication between his team and Fox Sports 1 after he had decided not to appear on the show.
"I got people that handle that type of stuff," Parsons said, per the Star Telegram. "If there was a miscommunication on that part, I will correct that. I have nothing but love for Skip and Shannon. I wouldn't just no-show anybody like that. A man is only as good as his word."
Parsons might not have told FS1 that he wouldn't be appearing on the show, but he was not completely silent. As the Tuesday episode of the show was going on, Parsons tweeted out asking his followers to call EA Sports and ask them to improve his zone coverage rating in the video game, "Madden 23."
They keep doing me wrong!! Need y’all to dial this hotline to get my #Madden23 ratings right… 689-278-3030 let em’ hear it! #EAathlete pic.twitter.com/l10OI7tF2g

Co-host Shannon Sharpe was more critical of Parsons than Bayless. According to the New York Post, Sharpe said while he understood that the loss was crushing and difficult, he did not understand why he would not respond to the network.
"Just say, 'Look, at this point in time I just want to focus on football. I'm sorry to have led you guys on but right now football is the most important thing and I'm not gonna be able to do it right now,'" Sharpe said, per the Post.
Sharpe also said he wished Parsons would have had a "little more class" when he canceled his appearance on the show, according to the Post.
The Star Telegram reported Parsons expects to appear on the show following Week 2.

Return to sender! NYC is relocating migrants to Florida, after city's immigration boss claimed that's where they'd rather be
- Commissioner of Immigration Affairs Manuel Castro announced that New York City would be sending some of the migrants to Florida
- He claims that they wanted to travel to the Sunshine State becuse of their large community of Venezuelans
- It comes as Mayor Adams was seen partying for the second time this week at an excluisve members-only club
- He said on Thursday that the city's shelters were at 'breaking point' because of the influx of illegal migrants
New York City officials are going to fly out migrants to Florida after claiming many of them did not want to come to the Big Apple.
The Commissioner of Immigration Affairs for the city says that a lot of the migrants being bussed from Texas by Gov Greg Abbott are coming from Venezuela.
Manuel Castro claims that the majority of illegal immigrants that have arrived to New York want to go to Florida because of their large community of Venezuelans.
His comments come just days after Mayor Eric Adams was seen with celebrities during New York Fashion Week, shortly after telling reporters that the cities shelters were at ‘breaking point’.
Adams was snapped partying at the exclusive members-only club Aman New York in the Crown Building last night.
Castro told Fox News: ‘Many want to go to places like Florida where the largest community of Venezuelans live.
‘We're helping them get to their actual final destination. We're doing our best. All states and all cities have a role to play here, not just New York and Chicago and other places.’

The system has become so overwhelmed that city hall has had to contract hotel rooms to house the thousands coming into the city
The mayor was seen living it up with tennis legend Serena Williams, Vogue’s editor Anna Wintour and Anne Hathaway at the Michael Kors runway show in the Manhattan-based venue Spring Studios.
New York City law requires the city to provide housing for anyone who requests it, with Castro adding that around 7,300 asylum seekers currently remain in the system.
The system has become so overwhelmed that city hall has had to contract hotel rooms to house the thousands coming into the city.
In a statement on Wednesday, Adams whined about Abbott's busing policy that has inundated the city with thousands of migrants and left a group of 60 without access to a shelter on Monday.
He said: 'In this new and unforeseen reality, where we expect thousands more to arrive every week going forward, the city's system is nearing its breaking point.
'As a result, the city's prior practices, which never contemplated the bussing of thousands of people into New York City, must be reassessed.
'While some may want to use these extraordinary circumstances as an opportunity to play an unproductive game of gotcha, we remain focused on supporting each of these individuals and families who need our city's help.'
So far Texas have sent 11,000 migrants by bus to the Big Apple, with the latest group arriving from El Paso.

New York City law requires the city to provide housing for anyone who requests it, with Castro adding that around 7,300 asylum seekers currently remain in the system
The city has seen such an influx of immigrants that its shelters were forced to reject nearly 1,000 people, who were pictured sleeping on the city streets.
When announcing that he was sending migrants to New York, Abbott said: ‘New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city.
‘I hope he follows through on his promise of welcoming all migrants with open arms so that our overrun and overwhelmed border towns can find relief.’
Texas’ border town of El Paso has ben launched into a humanitarian crisis amid a surge of illegal crossings that is overwhelming Border Patrol facilities.
Border Patrol facilities and shelters in the west Texas town have been overwhelmed in recent days, leading to a flood of so-called 'street releases'.
Congressman Tony Gonzalez, a GOP US Representative, said: 'We've never seen anything like this. It's a scene that you would see in a third-world country, not in the streets of El Paso.'
Since last Wednesday, 932 migrants have been released in what are commonly known as 'street releases' and Border Patrol calls 'provisional releases'
US Customs and Border Protection says that in the El Paso sector, encounters with people crossing the border illegally have averaged about 1,300 per day since the start of September
It has led to scenes of misery, with hundreds of migrants sleeping on the streets without access to toilets or showers, and residents say that the 'smell of human waste is overwhelming in the area.'
The situation in El Paso comes after the Biden administration officially extended special protections for Venezuelans, known as Temporary Protected Status, that shield some of them from deportation.
Migrants in Eagle Pass, 450 miles east along the border, were also reported to have killed a guard dog and begun eating animals in desperation.
Just shy of 200,000 illegal immigrants were intercepted crossing the southern border in July, according to the most recent CBP figures available.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The widow of a Tennessee man has filed a federal lawsuit against nine police officers who fatally shot her husband during a standoff along an interstate highway earlier this year, a published report said.
In a suit filed Thursday, Chelesy Eastep maintains the officers used excessive force and should be liable for the death of Landon Eastep, The Tennessean reported.
Eastep's encounter with police began with a state trooper checking on his welfare as he sat on a guardrail along Interstate 65 the afternoon of Jan. 27. After a brief interaction, Eastep pulled a box cutter and the trooper called for backup, police said. Many other officers arrived, blocking traffic in both directions as a helicopter circled overhead.
Authorities pleaded with Eastep, 37, to surrender while they kept their guns drawn, but fatally shot him when police say he pulled another shiny object from his pocket and pointed it at police as if ready to shoot. The shooting involved six Metro Nashville police officers, two state troopers and an off-duty officer from Mt. Juliet.
Attorney David J. McKenzie, who represents Chelesy Eastep, said it was unfair to expect Landon to act reasonably with multiple guns pointed at him.
The suit also named the cities of Nashville and Mt. Juliet, saying they didn't train officers properly in de-escalation and use of force tactics for people suffering emotional distress. It did not name the Tennessee Highway Patrol, citing constitutional protections for state agencies.
The Tennesseans reported that requests for comment were sent to legal representatives of the departments named in the suit, but it wasn't clear whether the complaint had been served.

Ukraine war: Mass exhumations at Izyum forest graves site
By Orla Guerin
BBC News, Izyum, Ukraine
- Published
In a pine forest at the edge of Izyum the stench of death filled the air as a mass exhumation got under way.
The earth is giving up its secrets. Ukrainian officials believe war crimes have been committed, which they are determined to document.
Around 100 Ukrainian emergency service workers wearing blue plastic coverings dug into the earth, opening makeshift graves.
They are trying to establish the cause of death of hundreds of people buried in a forest at the edge of the city, recently liberated by advancing Ukrainian forces.
Izyum, invaded in April, was used by Russia as a key military hub to supply its forces from the east.
The exhumation was conducted mostly in silence, as police and prosecutors looked on. One officer put his head in his hands. Another walked away.
Kharkiv regional prosecutor Olexander Ilyenkov says there is no doubt war crimes have been committed here.
"In the first grave, there is a civilian who has a rope over her neck. So we see the traces of torture," he told the BBC.
He said almost everyone died because of Russian soldiers.
"Some of them were killed, some were tortured, some were killed because of Russian Federation air and artillery strikes."
Ukraine was determined to show this disturbing sight to the world. Convoys of international journalists were brought to watch on.
The burial ground - beside an existing cemetery - contains row after row of graves, marked by crude wooden crosses.
Names were written on a few, but most were marked only by a number. The burials here were carried out under the orders of the Russians when they were in control.
Ukrainian police say there are 445 new graves at the site, but some contain more than one body. It's unclear how all of them died. Many are said to be civilians, women and children among them.
Prosecutors say some were killed by Russian shelling and others were victims of a Russian airstrike on an apartment block in March, in which 47 people were killed.
Officials say one grave contained around 20 soldiers, some with their hands bound and one with a noose around his neck. The body of a man in military uniform was exhumed and zipped into a white body bag.
As the graves were opened there were sporadic explosions in the distance as the security forces worked to de-mine the area.
72-year-old Hryhorii came to the burial site today to see the grave of his wife, Ludmilla. He told us she was killed on 7 March during heavy shelling in Izyum.
He first had to bury her in the yard of their home, then she was reburied in August. Now her remains will be disturbed once again.
It's only now, since the Russians have been pushed out, that Ukraine can carry out detailed investigations here, and can determine how many victims the occupiers left behind.
A woman who lived opposite the forest told us Russians troops had kept locals away from the cemetery.
A local man named Maxim appeared at the burial site, asking journalists to record his account of torture.
He said he was detained by the Russians in early September, and released by Ukrainian forces when they arrived in Izyum last Saturday (10 September).
He showed us the marks on his wrists caused by handcuffs, and said he had been subjected to electric shocks.
A senior advisor to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky told the BBC evidence of torture was found in some areas recently retaken by Ukrainian forces.
"We saw wildly frightened people who were kept without light, without food, without water, and without the right to justice," Mykhailo Podolyak said.
Kharkiv prosecutor Mr Ilyenkov said several similar burial sites had been found in areas recently retaken by Ukrainian forces.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A former deputy Nevada attorney general who ran for the state Supreme Court and was later affiliated with the infamous Mustang Ranch brothel has been arrested in Reno as a suspect in a 1972 homicide in Hawaii.
Tudor Chirila Jr., 77, was being held Thursday in the Washoe County Jail without bail on a charge of being a fugitive from another state.
In a criminal complaint accusing Chirila of second-degree murder, Honolulu police said DNA evidence linked him to the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Nancy Anderson.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser first reported that Chirila was arrested Wednesday — five decades after police say he stabbed the teen more than 60 times and left her body in her Waikiki apartment on Jan. 7, 1972. Anderson had moved to Hawaii in October 1971 and was working at a McDonald’s restaurant after graduating from high school the year before in Bay City, Michigan, the newspaper said.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Chirila had an attorney or will be appointed one. Jail records don’t indicate when he’s scheduled to make his initial court appearance.
The criminal complaint filed this week in district court in Hawaii said police had reopened the cold case multiple times since the killing and received a tip in December that Chirila could be a suspect.
In March, police obtained a DNA sample from Chirila’s son, John Chirila of Newport Beach, California, that identified him as the biological child of a DNA sample found at the crime scene, according to the criminal complaint.
On Sept. 6, Reno police served a search warrant and collected a DNA sample from Tudor Chirila at his Reno apartment. Two days later he tried to commit suicide, and on Wednesday was booked into the county jail in Reno, the Reno Gazette Journal reported Thursday.
Over the years, police in Hawaii investigated multiple suspects, including door-to-door knife salesmen who were there to to try to sell knives hours earlier, the newspaper said. But the salesmen volunteered fingerprints and passed polygraph tests.
Other potential suspects questioned over the years included Anderson’s former boyfriends and the property manager where she lived.
Chirila, a longtime attorney in Reno, Carson City and the Lake Tahoe area, served as a deputy attorney general in the late 1970s and ran unsuccessfully for the Nevada Supreme Court in 1994.
In a 1998 federal indictment, U.S. prosecutors in Reno identified him as the former president of a company, A.G.E. Corp., that served a front for Nevada brothel boss Joe Conforte.
The indictment accused Conforte and others of being part of an elaborate conspiracy to defraud the government in bankruptcy proceedings when the Mustang Ranch east of Reno was seized by the IRS, sold for back taxes in 1990 and illegally repurchased by Conforte and his cohorts.
The government claimed Conforte hid his assets during bankruptcy proceedings to cheat the government and buy back the legal brothel under hidden ownership, The Associated Press reported at the time.
Testifying as a government witness, Chirila acknowledged he knew the corporation was owned and controlled by Conforte, who had disappeared and was believed to be a fugitive in South America when the case went to trial in 1999.
Chirila filed suit against Conforte in 1998 seeking $14 million in damages, alleging Conforte wrongly fired him for cooperating with federal prosecutors.

Dan DeChellis started looking for a monkeypox vaccine around July 4 but was unable to find a place that offered one in Orlando, Florida, where he lives.
After about a week of searching online, he and three friends made an appointment in Wilton Manors, a city about 3 1/2 hours south by car. DeChellis, who is gay, said he doesn’t understand why the vaccine wasn’t available closer to home or why getting answers about who was eligible from his local health department was so difficult.
“My biggest takeaway from our experience has been just the difference in the state of Florida from county to county,” said DeChellis, 30, a supply chain manager who lost a half-day of work while traveling to get his first vaccine dose.
The perception that the response to the monkeypox virus in the South has lacked coordination has rekindled familiar concerns about recent state policies that leave members of the region’s LGBTQ+ communities feeling marginalized and discriminated against. More urgently, it raises questions about whether state and local health departments are doing enough to protect the people principally affected by the virus: men who have sex with men.
States like New York and California have followed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation to prioritize gay and bisexual men in outreach, vaccination and treatment for monkeypox. Such states have declared a public health emergency and initiated aggressive, targeted vaccination campaigns. Although New York and California are the states with the highest number of cases, Florida, Georgia and Texas are home to robust gay communities and together have just over a quarter of the country’s confirmed monkeypox cases.
But in Florida, and in other areas of the South, gay men fear that the monkeypox response is not being consistently prioritized because the virus affects the health of gay men. And they worry that local governments are not responding with urgency to diseases that primarily affect marginalized communities.
“They are not going to go out of their way to help us,” said Hank Rosenthal, 74, a gay man and retired emergency medicine physician who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Jeremy Redfern, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Health and speaking on behalf of the local health departments, said the agency is “fully integrated” to respond to public health needs across the state’s 67 counties. “There are no jurisdictional boundaries to our reach in Florida,” he said. “There is no politics with monkeypox.”
But recent laws like a Florida one that prohibits instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in some elementary school grades — referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by opponents — and the state’s ban on transgender care for people with Medicaid have created a hyperpoliticized atmosphere around issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups say.
That has some groups feeling the need to take matters into their own hands, especially in states that downplayed the COVID-19 pandemic and banned face mask and vaccine mandates to limit the spread of the virus.
“We mobilize, and we try to make stuff happen because our job is to take care of our community,” said Ricardo Martinez, CEO of Equality Texas, an advocacy group for LGBTQ+ rights. “We can’t depend on the state to provide the relief and safety that we need, so we have to organize ourselves.”
Florida’s first suspected case of monkeypox was reported in Broward County in late May. Since then, the health department has reported that most of the state’s more than 2,200 cases — about 2 in 3 — have occurred in South Florida’s Miami-Dade and Broward counties, where DeChellis and his friends traveled to obtain a monkeypox vaccine.
The vaccine, called Jynneos, ships from the strategic national stockpile directly to five county health departments. From there, the state sends vaccines to doctors, hospitals and other county health departments “as needed,” Redfern said.
The national stockpile ships vaccines to five sites per state and at first used a distribution system that was unfamiliar to state officials; it required them to track doses manually and place orders by email instead of through an automated system, creating a bottleneck. On Sept. 6, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it had awarded a $20 million contract to a private wholesale company to “significantly” expand vaccine distribution to more sites in the coming weeks.
As government responses improve, LGBTQ+ advocates and people who have tried to get vaccinated in Florida say vaccine access and information during the first months of the virus’s spread were inconsistent. They said local health departments used different eligibility criteria, appointment scheduling systems, and public outreach.
Brandon Lopez of Orlando said that when he first tried to get vaccinated through his local health department in June, he was told that only health care workers in laboratories and those who draw blood were eligible. Lopez, 30, said he considered driving to Miami after hearing that friends there got the shots but was told appointments were only for local residents.
Some counties announced online scheduling for appointments in mid-July, but many people who tried to sign up said that no slots were available or that they received an error message prompting them to create a new email account.
“I’m looking at my friends that live in Chicago, that live in San Francisco, that live in Washington, D.C., and they’re able to just walk up to a place,” said Josh Roth, 33, of Orlando, who waited nearly three weeks to get his first vaccine dose. “They may have a couple of hours to wait, but they’re able to get the shots.”
Advocates are also concerned that people with more education, money and time might be better able to access the shots.
Early data suggests that Black and Hispanic men are disproportionately affected by monkeypox cases, yet non-Hispanic white patients have received more first doses of the vaccine than any other group, according to the CDC.
More appointments began to open up in Florida in mid-August after the FDA authorized a new method of giving the vaccine that required training and special equipment but stretched the nation’s limited supply.
DeChellis did not have to drive to Wilton Manors for his second shot on Aug. 23, and Roth received his second dose as scheduled. After trying for weeks to get an online appointment, Lopez got vaccinated in early August at the Orange County health department in Orlando.
But the experience made him feel as if monkeypox was not an urgent matter for local health officials. “My expectation is that if it doesn’t affect a mass group of people, it’s not going to be a priority,” Lopez said.
After the monkeypox outbreak began, some health departments in the South began partnering with so-called trusted messengers in the LGBTQ+ community to raise awareness and host vaccine clinics.
In South Florida, for example, Broward County’s health department reached out to high-risk groups in the community for help getting people vaccinated, said Robert Boo, CEO of the Pride Center at Equality Park, a nonprofit that provides health and social services for LGBTQ+ people and that hosted a vaccine drive. In Texas, Equality Texas held a webinar with doctors and other experts who answered questions from the public.
But in other areas, gay and bisexual men said they could not get answers, not even from their local health departments.
Florida, Georgia and Texas together make up 26% of the nearly 22,000 confirmed cases reported as of Sept. 9, but their response has been unlike California’s and New York’s, where emergency declarations from governors have allowed more health care workers to administer the vaccine and local health departments to access more money from the state for vaccinations, education and outreach.
“An emergency declaration does nothing for the response,” said Redfern, the spokesperson at the Florida health department, which is responding to a concurrent outbreak of meningococcal disease also primarily affecting gay and bisexual men.
“There is nothing a new state of emergency order would do for Georgians that isn’t already being done,” said Andrew Isenhour, a spokesperson for Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. He also said the Georgia Department of Public Health has been raising awareness about monkeypox and recently launched a statewide portal for scheduling vaccinations.
In Texas, Austin and Dallas officials declared local emergencies in early August. The Texas Department of State Health Services declined to comment on whether a declaration is warranted statewide.
Some providers, like Dr. Ivan Melendez of the Hidalgo County Health Authority in South Texas, agree that because monkeypox is spreading primarily among men who have sex with men, a statewide declaration is not needed. Lab testing, vaccines, and guidance for both clinicians and the public are available.
But others say an emergency declaration would signal that a threat exists, free up funding, require additional reporting, and cut bureaucratic red tape.
“It gives us a concerted response,” said Jill Roberts, an epidemiologist and associate professor at the University of South Florida. “It allows for more information: Where are vaccines going? Where are cases happening? Where are the hot spots we can hit?”
Dr. Melanie Thompson, an Atlanta physician who provides care for people living with HIV, said she would like the state and governor to play a stronger role in coordinating a uniform response across Georgia’s 159 counties. Not all local health departments are adequately staffed or funded, Thompson said.
“They’re all out there doing their own thing,” she said. “Some counties do a really good job with that. Other counties don’t.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Churchill Downs has modified paths to the Kentucky Derby and Oaks, awarding points to the top five finishers in qualifying races and increasing significance for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and late prep season events.
Most Derby prep races during the qualifying series for 3-year-olds will award points on a 10-4-3-2-1 sliding scale after using a 10-4-2-1 system since 2013. The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, run during the season-ending championships on Nov. 4 at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky, will increase points from 20-8-4-2 to 30-12-9-6-3 to differentiate the Grade I event from others during prep season.
Select prep races for the 20-horse Derby field have elevated points from a 10-4-2-1 scale to 20-8-6-4-2 to increase their importance and motivate hopefuls to begin their 3-year-old campaigns earlier in the season, track officials stated in a release.
“We believe these modifications adhere to and amplify our goal of assembling the finest group of 3-year-olds in the starting gate for a race at the classic distance of 1¼ miles on the first Saturday in May,” Churchill Downs vice president/general manager Mike Ziegler said.
The 149th Kentucky Derby and Oaks for fillies will be held on May 5-6, 2023. Derby qualifying season begins with Saturday’s $300,000, Grade III Iroquois for 2-year-olds at Churchill Downs.
The point changes apply to Oaks qualifiers.
Elevated Derby preps include the Lecomte at Fair Grounds in Louisiana; Southwest at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas; Withers at Aqueduct in New York; Holy Bull at Gulfstream Park in Florida; Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita in California; Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs; and John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway Park in Kentucky.

BOSTON (AP) — The sex lives of constipated scorpions, cute ducklings with an innate sense of physics, and a life-size rubber moose may not appear to have much in common, but they all inspired the winners of this year’s Ig Nobels, the prize for comical scientific achievement.
Held less than a month before the actual Nobel Prizes are announced, Thursday’s 32nd annual Ig Nobel prize ceremony was for the third year in a row a prerecorded affair webcast on the Annals of Improbable Research magazine’s website.
The winners, honored in 10 categories, also included scientists who found that when people on a blind date are attracted to each other, their heart rates synchronize, and researchers who looked at why legal documents can be so utterly baffling, even to lawyers themselves.
Even though the ceremony was prerecorded, it retained much of the fun of the live event usually held at Harvard University.
As has been an Ig Nobel tradition, real Nobel laureates handed out the prizes, using a bit of video trickery: The Nobel laureates handed the prize off screen, while the winners reached out and brought a prize they had been sent and self-assembled into view.
Winners also received a virtually worthless Zimbabwean $10 trillion bill.
Curiosity Ig-nited? Learn more about some of the winners:
GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW
“Science is fun. My sort of a tagline is you’re not doing science if you’re not having fun,” said Frank Fish, a biology professor at West Chester University in Pennsylvania who shared the physics Ig Nobel for studying why ducklings follow their mothers in single-file formation.
It’s about energy conservation: The ducklings are drafting, much like stock cars, cyclists and runners do in a race, he said.
“It all has to do with the flow that occurs behind that leading organism and the way that moving in formation can actually be an energetic benefit,” said the appropriately named Fish, whose specialty is studying how animals swim.
He shared the prize with researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, who found that the ducklings actually surfed in their mother’s wake.
THAT SYNCING FEELING
Eliska Prochazkova’s personal experiences inspired her research on dating that earned her and colleagues the cardiology Ig Nobel.
She had no problems finding her apparent perfect match on dating apps, yet she often found there was no spark when they met face-to-face.
So she set people up on blind dates in real social settings, measured their physiological reactions and found that the heart rates of people attracted to each other synchronized.
So is her work evidence of “love at first sight”?
“It really depends, on how you define love,” Prochazkova, a researcher at Leiden University in the Netherlands, said in an email. “What we found in our research was that people were able to decide whether they want to date their partner very quickly. Within the first two seconds of the date, the participants made a very complex idea about the human sitting in front of them.”
A CRUEL STING
Solimary García-Hernández and Glauco Machado of the University of São Paulo in Brazil won the biology Ig Nobel for studying whether constipation ruins a scorpion’s sex life.
Scorpions can detach a body part to escape a predator — a process called autotomy. But when they lose their tails, they also lose the last portion of the digestive tract, which leads to constipation — and, eventually, death, they wrote in the journal “Integrated Zoology.”
“The long-term decrease in the locomotor performance of autotomized males may impair mate searching,” they wrote.
THAT’S A MOOSE, DUMMY
Magnus Gers won the safety engineering Ig Nobel for making a moose “crash test dummy” for his master’s thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, which was published by the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute.
Frequent moose vs. vehicle collisions on Sweden’s highways often result in injuries and death to both human and animal, Gers said in an email. Yet automobile makers rarely include animal crashes in their safety testing.
“I believe this is a fascinating and still very unexplored area that deserves all the attention it can get,” he said. “This topic is mystical, life threatening and more relevant than ever.”
CAN YOU SPEAK LEGALESE?
Anyone who has ever read a terms of service agreement knows that legal documents can be downright incomprehensible.
That frustrated Eric Martinez, a graduate student in the brain and cognitive science department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who also has a law degree from Harvard.
He, Francis Mollica and Edward Gibson shared the literature Ig Nobel for analyzing what makes legal documents unnecessarily difficult to understand, research that appeared in the journal “Cognition.”
“Ultimately, there’s kind of a hope that lawyers will think a little more with the reader in mind,” he said. “Clarity doesn’t just benefit the layperson, it also benefits lawyers.”

Uber says it's been in touch with law enforcement following a "cybersecurity incident."
The New York Times reports that the person claiming responsibility for the attack sent them images of emails, cloud storage and code repositories from Uber's internal systems.
According to the Times, Uber employees received a message on the company's Slack system that said, "I announce I am a hacker and Uber has suffered a data breach.”
The hacker reportedly claimed to be 18 years old.
The alleged hacker told The Washington Post that they hacked Uber for fun and might leak its source code. The person was also apparently critical of Uber's security, which they reportedly described as "awful."
Uber hasn't responded to specifics about the hack, only saying it would post additional updates as they become available.

Early Thursday evening, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a video on Twitter of her in a heated exchanged about gun control with three young activists outside the Capitol earlier that day.
In the tweet, Greene, a Georgia Republican, also wrote, "These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools."
Roughly 25 minutes later, Marianna Pecora, who was one of the people arguing with Greene in the video, replied: "Did she literally just tweet out the video of her kicking me?"
Video shows a heated conversation on gun control
Pecora, 18, is the deputy communications director for Voters of Tomorrow, a group focused on youth voter turnout. She and others from her group were in Washington, D.C., this week to lobby for youth rights.
In the 2:54 minute clip, Pecora appears to have walked in front of Greene to ask, "How does the second amendment prevent gun violence?" while filming the congresswoman's reaction.
Greene responded, "Excuse me, out of the way, excuse me," to which Pecora begins to stumble and said, "Oh my God." Later, Pecora moves out of the way and accuses the congresswoman of kicking her.
The video does not directly show physical contact between Pecora and Greene.
The sides don't agree on what happened
Nick Dyer, Greene's communications director, told NPR that the allegation that Greene kicked Pecora was "absolutely ridiculous" and called it a "lie."
Pecora told NPR she is physically fine, but "a little shaken" emotionally.
"It's incredibly disheartening to me that a member of Congress has so little respect for the people of our country that she finds it acceptable to turn to trying to hurt them," she wrote in an email.
On Thursday evening, Santiago Mayer, the executive director of Voters of Tomorrow who was also involved in the verbal altercation, said, "To answer the most prevalent question about pressing charges: we're talking to our legal team and keeping our options open."

(NEXSTAR) — While the U.S. has seen some relief at the gas pumps, and signs show the prices of goods for consumers could soon decline, there are a few grocery items that could be putting extra pressure on your wallet.
The latest data from the Labor Department, released Wednesday, show inflation is still a growing problem in the U.S. with consumer prices rising 8.3% over the last year and 0.1% from July.
Apart from declining prices at the gas pumps, consumer prices for everything from food and rent to furniture, medical care and new cars got pricier last month. Some of the highest price increases since last year are being felt at the grocery store, according to the Labor Department’s data.
Among the hardest-hit grocery items are eggs. The price of eggs is up nearly 40% compared to a year ago, jumping almost 3% between July and August alone. This has been a trend since spring when eggs exceeded $3 for the second time in history, sparked by a bird flu outbreak, supply chain issues, and high feed costs.
Below are the five items that have seen the largest year-over-year price increase based on the latest report from the Labor Department, and how much the price has changed:
- Eggs 39.8%
- Margarine: 38.3%
- Butter: 24.6%
- Flour/prepared flour mixes: 23.3%
- Olives, pickles, relish: 19.4%
Many of the items listed in the Consumer Price Index have seen prices rise by more than 15% compared to August 2021. That includes chicken (16.6%), soups (18.5%), cereals (17.4%), and milk (17%).
Margarine and olives, pickles, and relish were among the grocery items seeing the largest price increases between July and August of this year. The price of frankfurters is up more than 5%, the highest month-to-month increase among meat products. Potatoes and canned fruit each saw prices rise by about 3%.
Not every food has seen price hikes in recent weeks. Prices for some fresh produce – apples, bananas, and citrus fruits – and uncooked beef steaks are down since July.
Severe weather – everything from heat and droughts to overwhelming rain – could pinch the U.S.’s food supply in the coming weeks, CNN reports. The cost of food production and the Russia-Ukraine war are also feeding the rising costs, according to Quartz.
Worsening food inflation is a particular strain on lower-income families, more of whom have had to turn to food banks and other aid as inflation has worsened. Mary Jane Crouch, executive director of America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, which works with a network of food banks, told the Associated Press 38% more food was distributed in August compared with July.
Sales at grocery stores rose 0.5% in August, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Overall spending has slowed and shifted increasingly toward necessities like food, while spending on electronics, furniture, new clothes and other non-necessities has faded.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

(NewsNation) — Desperate to find missing newcomer Irene Gakwa, the Gillette, Wyoming, community has showed up with searches covering hundreds of miles. The search is being led by volunteer Stacy Koester.
Gakwa’s fiancé, Nathan Hightman, a person of interest in the case, sought a protective order against Koester. They squared off in court Thursday with the judge ultimately ruling in favor of Koester. How did the lead searcher end up here?
Social media posts by Koester about the search for Gakwa raised the ire of Hightman, resulting in him pushing for a protective order.
“I think he is worried that we’re closing in on him by sharing Irene’s story so much,” Koester said.
In court Thursday, the judge addressed Hightman, saying, “I can’t find that, sir, you met your burden of proof to prove that an act of stalking occurred in this case.”
Koester hopes the judge’s decision will give the community a better chance at finding Gakwa. Vindicated, she will be back out searching and sharing her opinions of Hightman on TikTok once again, all in the hopes of finding Gakwa or her body.
“I am searching for his missing fiancée, because I made a promise to Irene’s family, who is my family now, that I won’t stop searching until we bring her home and she has answers,” Koester said.
Gakwa, 32, is a recent immigrant from Kenya who lived with family in Idaho before moving to Wyoming with Hightman, who she reportedly met on Craigslist.
Her family grew concerned when they noticed Gakwa’s text messages had changed from a mixture of English and Swahili to solely English. They reported her missing in March.
Hightman told police that Gakwa packed clothing into two plastic bags and announced that she was leaving Gillette, Wyoming. He said she entered a dark-colored SUV and left the area.
Soon after that, police arrested Hightman and charged him with draining Gakwa’s bank accounts, deleting her email account and using her credit card at Walmart to buy a shovel, a pair of boots and a pair of pants. Police report that Hightman said he did it to force her to contact him in the event she needed money.
Hightman entered not guilty pleas to the charges he used Gakwa’s bank account and credit card.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the Gillette Police Department at 307-682-5155.

Man Paddles 38 Miles Down River in Hollowed-Out Pumpkin
Duane Hansen set a new world record after paddling 38 miles down the Missouri River in a hollowed-out pumpkin he grew himself.
The 60-year-old set sail inside the 846-pound pumpkin around 7:30AM Aug. 27, completing his 38-mile journey 11 hours later.
"I went 38 miles down the river without standing up in that pumpkin, and my knees still hurt," Hansen said in a video shared by Reuters.
"I probably won’t try this again," he continued, adding, "If somebody breaks this record, I will bow down to them because they are tough."
Watch footage of Hansen's record-breaking stunt below:
Hansen, who named the orange vessel “Berta,” told the Omaha World-Herald that he faced a few collisions on his journey, including scraping a sandbar and encountering a big rock.
His trek also included heavy rain and chilly temperatures. However, mother nature couldn't damper his spirit.
"I thought, ‘I’ll just paddle harder and warm up.’ I wasn’t thinking about quitting," Hansen told the news outlet.
“I went another four to five miles, and it rained again. Berta is only about eight inches above the water line. I’ve never paid so much attention for so long in my entire life. It was tough,” he continued.
To be recognized by Guinness World Records, Hansen asked city officials to bear witness to his journey.
According to the Washington Post, city officials are currently validating the results. Once finalized, Hansen will surpass the current record for “longest journey by pumpkin boat,” previously held by Rick Swenson.
In 2016, Swenson of North Dakota traveled 25.5 miles via “pumpkin boat.”

The alleged hacker told The Washington Post that they hacked Uber for fun and might leak its source code. The person was also apparently critical of Uber's security, which they reportedly described as "awful."
Uber hasn't responded to specifics about the hack, only saying it would post additional updates as they become available.

Matt Smith once heard Queen Elizabeth II used to watch ‘The Crown’ on a projector
Matt Smith played Prince Philip in seasons 1 and 2 of Netflix's 'The Crown'
"The Crown" star Matt Smith is sharing his interactions with the British royals and claims he once heard Queen Elizabeth II used to watch the hit TV show.
During a recent appearance on "Today," Smith opened up about the time he met the future King Charles III and Prince Harry. While he only managed to compliment the king on his shoes, he met Harry at a polo match and got confirmation that he was a fan of the show.
"I met Harry once at the polo, which sounds a bit grand, but it wasn’t that grand. And he walked up to me and he went, ‘Grandad,’ because he watched the show," Smith recalled. "I can't claim to know if he watches it currently, but he watched a bit of it then."
Smith also shared that he has "heard the queen had watched it" and that she used to dedicate her Sunday nights to watching the Netflix show on a projector.
NETLFIX'S ‘THE CROWN’ PAUSES PRODUCTION ‘OUT OF RESPECT’ FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH II
For the first two seasons of "The Crown," Smith played the younger version of The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. He played the real-life character from the time he and the queen were married in 1947 to her coronation in 1953 to the birth of Prince Edward in 1963.
The role then was passed on to Tobias Menzies, who played Prince Philip throughout season 3 and 4, which covered events from 1964 to the early 1990s.
It seems the real-life inspiration behind the character wasn’t too happy with the idea of his family’s history playing out on a television show. A friend of Smith’s encountered Prince Philip at an event and couldn’t help but ask him what he thought of the show.
"A friend of mine sat next to him at [a] dinner once, and he asked him. Actually, I think Philip asked my friend if he made ‘The Crown,’" he said. "The first course came out, and then the second course came out, and then the third course came out, and my friend couldn’t resist by the end of the meal. He was like, ‘Philip I have to ask, have you watched ‘The Crown?' And he apparently turned around and went, ‘Don’t be ridiculous.’"
During an appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" in February, Prince Harry opened up about what his thoughts were about the Netflix show, saying it provides fans with "a rough idea of what that lifestyle" is like and what it means to put "duty and service above family and everything else."
"I’m way more comfortable with ‘The Crown’ than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife [Meghan Markle] or myself because it’s the difference between [‘The Crown’] is obviously fiction. Take it how you will, but this is being reported on as fact because you’re supposedly news. I have a real issue with that," Harry said on the show.
PRINCE HARRY REVEALS WHAT HE THINKS OF NETFLIX’S ‘THE CROWN’
After the Queen’s death, "The Crown" paused production on season 6 out of respect for the monarch and her many years of duty and service.
Ahead of the pause in production, creator Peter Morgan opened up to Deadline about the purpose, saying it was to show love for the queen.

"’The Crown’ is a love letter to her, and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect," Morgan said. "I expect we will stop filming out of respect too."
Smith also opened up about his own feelings toward the loss of the queen, saying he wanted to return to London after her passing to pay his respects and celebrate her life in his own way.
"I think it’s a piece of history. I don’t think we’ll ever have a monarch that serves for 70 years again," he said. "She saw 13 prime ministers come and go, like 14 presidents, or something like that. I just want to be in London, I want to experience it. I want to share in the ceremony of it really."

He explained that, while his mother will be attending the procession in person, he noted he wasn’t sure whether he will be there, saying he might just end up watching it on TV at a pub with some of his friends.

DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas (KXAN) — Scroll Origin Mexico’s Instagram, and you will see vibrant hand-painted hats, handwoven shoes and embroidered dresses. You will also see the hope in the eyes of the women making them.
It is part of Origin Mexico’s brand, which promises to invite customers into the lives of these women. Owner and founder Yazmin Castaneda said she works directly with Mexican women, offering them a path to financial independence by selling their goods to the U.S. market.
“A lot of the women I work with, they don’t benefit from the educational or financial resources that we do,” Castaneda explained.
Castaneda is first generation Mexican American and said her grandparents from Durango, Mexico rose out of humble beginnings. She said her grandparents, who were business owners, influenced her entrepreneurial spirit.
During the pandemic she rediscovered her passion for her culture, and she saw a need.
“The tourism had declined during the pandemic, and they were not selling, and this was their livelihood,” Castaneda said.
So, she leaned into her gut, left her corporate job and started her business out of her Dripping Springs home.
“I’ve developed a lot of friendships with them, and I see that they not only have thrived, but they are succeeding, and they are now fully independent,” Castaneda said about her artisan partners.
Castaneda maintains relationships with her artisan partners by traveling to Mexico and chatting with them by phone in between visits. One woman she spoke to is also a working mother who learned her skills from her own mother. She told us she is grateful to U.S. buyers.
Castaneda works with a Mexican nonprofit to help the artisan women become financially independent. It’s called Fundacion en Via, which helps women through microfinance and responsible tourism.

Gina Carano says she was fired for refusing to beat to Hollywood's drum: 'They came after me so hard'
Carano played Cara Dune in the Disney + series 'The Mandalorian'
Actress and former MMA fighter Gina Carano revealed little known details surrounding her firing from "The Mandalorian" and discussed her latest projects in a new episode of "Tucker Carlson Today" on Fox Nation.
Carano, who famously played Cara Dune in the Disney+ original series was poised to lead her own show for the platform when she was booted over a series of controversial tweets surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and her refusal to specify her pronouns on Twitter.
She became the target of intense online backlash, but the final straw occurred when the actress compared the dangerous division in American politics to Nazi Germany. That's when her agent, lawyer publicist and employer dropped her without notice. Her career had essentially been "canceled" overnight, she said.
BILL BURR SAYS GINA CARANO'S ‘MANDALORIAN’ FIRING WAS UNFAIR: ‘LIBERALS PROVED HER POINT’
"I was just trying to keep my head down, not cause any problems -- work hard, get the next job, be really excited to be a part of every project, make sure that you do your job to the utmost ability, and keep on inching forward to solidify that career where you can eventually be like, OK, I'm set. I'm ready," Carano told Tucker Carlson in the episode available on Fox Nation today.
"I finally got to star in ‘The Mandalorian' and then the world decided that its brain was going to break."
Carano said she was never particularly active or vocal when it came to politics, but the summer of 2020 raised new questions for her which she began to voice on Twitter.
"Nothing was adding up as we started moving forward," she said. "And I was like, these people are getting completely taken advantage of and not allowed to open up their churches…. those places are closed, but you can go out on the street and spit in a cop's face, and you know, sweat and anger everywhere."
"At that point…I just really stopped buying into it," Carano continued. " And then I started getting really upset."
"I was speaking out about lockdowns, mass vaccinations, and pronouns way before anybody was even saying a word about it. And so I was a little bit ahead," Carano told Carlson. "I'm sure if I would have done that now, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But because I was talking about this when nobody else was talking about it, especially nobody else in my industry…"
In February 2021, Lucasfilm announced that Carano was let go from her part of the "Star Wars" spinoff cast. She told Carlson it was her failure to go along with the Hollywood narrative that ultimately cost her her job.
"I became a fan favorite in 'The Mandalorian,' but they didn't even let me do any interviews once I started becoming controversial, and I wasn't beating to their drum," she recalled.

A Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement at the time that Carano's "social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."
In the days that followed, Carano was called everything from a White supremacist, and bigot to a racist, she said, describing herself as a victim of the growing cancel culture mentality.
"They came after me so hard, they tried to make an example out of me" she said.
As a former MMA fighter, Carano is no stranger to pain, but her experience over the past year has left her shattered.

"I've got a broken nose and broken body sometimes, but what I've gone through in Hollywood in the last year has broken my heart way worse than any bones," she said.
Carano said she is now at a point of "healing" and optimistic for what her future holds.
She starred in a Western film developed by The Daily Wire, "Terror on the Prairie," in which she plays Hattie McAllister, a tough-as-rawhide pioneer mother who defends her children from outlaws while her husband (UFC champion Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone) is away. The 40-year-old also serves as a producer.
Carano has described the project as "closure" for her.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia school district's directive to remove pride flags from classrooms is drawing complaints from students and community organizations.
County Board of Education President Ron Lytle told The Gazette-Mail that the flags were removed because they went against the existing “Participation in Political Activities” policy.
“I think it was just a blanket statement that all flags were to be removed,” other than the U.S. and West Virginia flags, Lytle said.
The policy says, in part, that “non-school related, political, and/or commercial literature, or campaign posters supporting one or more candidates, issues or a particular point of view shall not be displayed within the schools or on school owned or occupied property," news outlets reported.
Morgantown Human Rights Commission chairperson Ash Orr said the flags were removed on the second day of classes at Morgantown High.
More than a dozen Morgantown High School students and other gay rights supporters addressed the Monongalia County school board Tuesday to express support for the flags, The Dominion Post reported.
Meanwhile, American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia staff attorney Nicholas Ward said in an email that “we’ve received a number of complaints from students and parents about the school’s application of a troublingly vague policy to pride flags, and we are closely examining the situation.”
“Promoting inclusiveness is not a political issue,” Ward wrote, “and any interpretation of the policy that suggests otherwise raises serious concerns about violations of constitutional rights to free speech and expression.”
Lytle said the policy is legal and he supports enforcing it because it’s currently in effect, but the issue will be discussed again at the next school board meeting.

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.
Mamadou Souré, 42, arrived Friday morning at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport from Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
“We were supposed to take a flight to Milan at 9:30 a.m. but it was canceled, but thank God we found a flight at 1:30 p.m. for Turin. We’ll see if we can make it to Milan from there,” he said.
Maria Oudon, from Orlando, Florida, was relieved to see her flight mentioned as “on time” on the airport’s board. “We did spend all night worrying about it because they said to possibly change your flight or have other options. And we still came because we had to take our daughter to school,” she said.
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.

SAN ANTONIO — Our Lady of the Lake University is marking its 127th year as an educational institution in west San Antonio with new leadership at its helm.
In July, the university welcomed Dr. Abel Chavez as its new university president proceeding Diane Melby, who announced her plans to retire in 2022 last year.
Dr. Chavez is also making history as the university's first Latino president.
'It's that obligation, that sense of responsibility to create pathways for Latinos and Latinas who aspire to be university presidents. It's also for those who aspire to be in front of the classroom, to be teachers, to be instructors, to be researchers," said Dr. Chavez.
Dr. Chavez grew up in Colorado as a son of immigrant parents. He said his parents instilled the importance of education in their home.
"My mom never made it out of middle school and my dad never made it out of high school. However, they knew that education was the pathway to transformation, and although, they weren't able to show us the precise steps to pursue higher education they showed us what hard work looked like," he said.
Dr. Chavez became the first in his family to graduate college. He earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado Denver and a master’s of business administration from the University of Houston.
Chávez later received his doctorate degree in civil and environmental engineering from Denver.
Before entering education, he worked for Dow Chemical Company and Anheuser-Busch. Then he dove into entrepreneurship, and that's where Dr. Chavez said he got into teaching.
His most recent position was at Western Colorado University, where he held multiple positions before his final role as Vice President for Enrollment and Student Success.
Dr. Chavez said the role at OLLU attracted him for two main reasons: faith and community.
"Our Lady of the Lake University has a long tradition of serving minority, first-generation, low income students and communities. It's the mother of Hispanic serving institutions, and it's these institutions who have been absolutely great to me, provided me mentorship and opportunities to thrive as a professional," said Dr. Chavez.
He said his new position represents giving back to his faith, the community and country. During his tenure, he's aiming to build upon the university's endowment and offer more scholarships to students.
"While we will help our students make sure they are completing their FAFSAs for free financial aid, we still have work to do. This community can absolutely guarantee that I will be out in the community answering questions and speaking in their language."
Outside of work, Dr. Chaves described himself as a family man who enjoys reading a new book weekly.

Massachusetts woman arrested for allegedly calling in hoax bomb threat to Boston Children’s Hospital
Boston Children's Hospital, home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in America, has been hit with a deluge of threats recently
A 37-year-old Massachusetts woman was arrested on Thursday for allegedly making a hoax bomb threat to Boston Children’s Hospital on Aug. 30.
Catherine Levy was taken into custody at her home in Westfield, about 70 miles west of the hospital, and charged with one count of making a false telephonic bomb threat.
The phone that she allegedly used to make the bomb threat was also recovered, Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Racheal Rollins said at a press conference.
It's one of several threats that have been levied in recent weeks against Boston Children's Hospital, which has the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in America.
"The caller said, in part, ‘There is a bomb on the way to the hospital. You better evacuate everybody you sickos,’" Rollins said.
FBI BULLETIN WARNS OF ‘DIRTY BOMB’ THREAT, INCREASED CALLS FOR ‘CIVIL WAR’ AFTER RAID OF MAR-A-LAGO
Last month, Libs of TikTok highlighted videos on the hospital's YouTube channel about "gender-affirming" hysterectomies.
The hospital recently updated its website to read, "To qualify for gender affirmation at Boston Children's Hospital, you must be at least 18 years old for phalloplasty or metoidioplasty and for vaginoplasty." The website previously read that a patient must be "at least 17 years old for vaginoplasty."

Rollins declined to comment on the motive in Leavy's case on Thursday.
"While I cannot comment further on the alleged motive of this case, I want to say generally that health care providers who support and offer care to gender-diverse and transgender individuals and their families deserve to do so without fear," Rollins said Thursday.

Week 4 of the high school football season is upon us, meaning the midway point of the regular season is swiftly approaching us.
Before we dive into the Metro Detroit football schedule for Week 3, we have to honor the winner of the Metro Detroit Player of the Week poll for last week’s performances.
This week, it was Roseville athlete Desmond Straughton who dominated the poll. The talented sophomore hauled in 20,915 of the total 44,049 votes received in the poll, which is good for 47.48 percent of the vote. He finished well ahead of Macomb Dakota’s Joe Cacevic in second place, who finished with 13,737 votes (31.19 percent).
Straughton earned his spot on this week’s poll because he was a playmaker on both sides of the ball for Roseville in a 53-10 win over St. Clair Shores Lakeview. Straughton rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries and also recorded an interception on defense.
Here are the full results of the poll. If you are having trouble viewing the poll, please click here.
