Mood is quiet: Even her hair was unfussy as it was worn down around her face as she opted for minimal makeup
During a recent interview with Jay Shetty, Kendall opened up a lot more about the work that she and her therapist do to highlight to her fans the importance of self-love.
Kendall took to Instagram to make a post about her interview, and she showed us the picture of her younger self that she keeps in her bathroom and uses every day for her positive affirmations.
In the caption she said: 'If you’ve watched my interview with @jayshetty then you know what this picture of my younger self pasted on my bathroom mirror is there for self-love is so important, tap into your highest self! sending love.'
A business meeting: Kendall seemed to have a meeting with a man and woman
Using her hands to speak: She held her hands up as a plate of bread was in front of her
During the interview, she went on to explain how a trend on TikTok encouraged her to start using the picture to help heal her inner child when she has any negative thoughts about herself.
'I guess that was like a girl being like, anytime you’re being mean to yourself, just think this is who you’re talking about and it flashes to like a photo of her as a kid.'
Kendall went on to explain how her therapist suggested that she do something similar, saying, 'So that every morning, every night, every day, when you walk into your bathroom mirror, you’re looking at her and you’re remembering that if there’s anything negative that you’re ever saying about yourself if you were being mean to yourself, you’re talking about her.'
She slayed this look: On Monday the siren wowed fans in a very stylish in a light gray mini dress that made the most of her slender frame; she added a black purse and boots

Kendall has been in a more positive place, as she and on/off beau Devin Booker are back on.
Booker is known for playing with the NBA team, the Phoenix Suns.
The reality personality was seen enjoying a day out with her boyfriend, Devin Booker, earlier on Sunday as they watched the US Open Men's Finals tennis match in New York.
The supermodel and the professional basketball player, 25, dressed casually for the event and at one point, the reality star was seen resting in the arms of her beau.
The two lovebirds recently split earlier this year in June, but quickly rekindled their relationship last month in August.

STEPHEN GLOVER: I am not an alarmist by nature, but I must admit Vladimir Putin's rant has left me fearful... Never has there been a threat of nuclear retaliation against the West as explicit as this
When the possibly deranged dictator of a barbaric regime threatens a nuclear strike against the West, it is wise to take him seriously.
That is what Vladimir Putin said yesterday, while announcing the mobilisation of 300,000 reservists to help shore up Russia’s flagging war in Ukraine.
Threats of nuclear retaliation against the West have been issued in the past by Soviet and Russian leaders but never — not even at the height of the Cold War — has there been one as explicit as this.
Putin declared: ‘We will use all available means to protect Russia and our people — this is not a bluff . . . I shall stress — by all means available to us. Those trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the tables can turn on them.’
Truss insisted soaring energy bills are a 'price worth paying' to combat Vladimir Putin (pictured in Moscow today)
In case there was any room for doubt, a former close adviser of Putin’s, Sergei Markov, filled in some details on yesterday’s Radio 4 Today programme when he warned that ‘your cities will be targeted’.
This is what Markov said in his spine-chilling rant: ‘If Great Britain will continue to be [the] aggressor against Russia . . . if Prime Minister Liz Truss still has a plan to destroy Russia, people in London should understand the threat [of nuclear weapons].’
Unhinged? Without any doubt. But it would be rash of our political leaders and of the general public to dismiss these outpourings as empty threats. I only wish that they were.
It’s not the first time the Putin regime has spoken in such terms. Back in April, Sergei Lavrov, Putin’s puppet foreign minister, warned that if Nato continued to provide military aid to Ukraine, there would be a ‘considerable threat’ of a nuclear conflict.
On that occasion, Boris Johnson was asked on TalkTV whether he shared the concerns of some analysts about the possibility of nuclear war. He replied — unwisely, perhaps: ‘No, I don’t.’
Can anything be done to obviate the danger? The terrible answer is that I don’t think it can. Putin may, or may not, be mad. But it is certain that he has given up all pretence that his regime adheres in the smallest degree to standards of decency and honesty.
Before the war began, I argued in these pages that Russia had something of a case inasmuch as there were undoubtedly ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine who preferred to be ruled by Moscow than Kyiv. That argument, though correct at the time, is now ancient history.
For by invading Ukraine, and prosecuting the war in such a brutal way, Putin has established that he is both unbalanced and inhumane. Some of the war crimes committed by Russian soldiers stand comparison with the worst Nazi atrocities.
Putin has deliberately killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians, and forcibly deported thousands more to Russia. There is ample evidence of widespread torture and murder.
In a pine forest at the edge of Izyum in eastern Ukraine, which has recently been taken back from Russian hands, 445 graves have just been found, some containing more than one body. Many are said to be civilians, and there are women and children among them. In some cases there is evidence of torture.
This is barbarism on an epic scale. It confirms, I believe, that Putin is beyond the pale of civilised behaviour. Moreover, a despot who can torture and murder innocent civilians may have no moral qualms about using nuclear weapons.

More unrest was expected this evening in western Russian cities such as Moscow and St Petersburg, as protesters vented their fury, holding up 'no to mobilisation' signs
The truth is that we can’t abandon Ukraine. We must continue to provide weapons to its armed forces — Britain is the second largest supplier of arms after the United States — because the country is engaged in a fight against an evil aggressor.
But there is more to it than that. If we had not supported Ukraine, Putin’s forces would have also menaced the Baltic states and Poland, and potentially the rest of Eastern Europe. In helping Ukraine to defend itself we are defending ourselves.
So there is no easy answer to my question as to whether anything can be done to decrease the danger of a Russian nuclear attack. In these circumstances it would be both morally unthinkable, and also contrary to our interests, to forsake Ukraine.
We must be strong. That means increasing our defence expenditure as Liz Truss has undertaken to do, promising an almost 50 per cent rise by the end of the decade. But this, of course, is a slow process which won’t yield instant improvements.
We can also place some faith in the traditional doctrine of nuclear deterrence, which holds water if a potential adversary is essentially rational. I ardently hope, despite evidence to the contrary, that Vladimir Putin still is.
Although Russia has vastly more nuclear weapons than we do (the number of our warheads was rashly reduced by the Blair government), Britain still has the nuclear firepower to destroy Moscow and a large number of Russian cities.
Moreover, our closest ally, the United States, has a nuclear arsenal roughly equal in size to Russia’s, and in terms of technical prowess it is probably far superior.
These are grim calculations, and I regret having to make them. My point is that in a rational world — and, despite everything, the Cold War played out in a rational world — Vladimir Putin wouldn’t unleash a nuclear attack against Britain or any other western country.
But I am afraid we can’t rule out the possibility, however distant, that he might — which is why we find ourselves in the greatest danger since the end of World War II.
Some experts believe that while it is unlikely that Putin would use nuclear weapons against any western country for fear of massive retaliation, he might employ so-called battlefield nuclear weapons (which are much more limited, and so less lethal, in their effects) against Ukrainian troops.
Even that, though, would be a perilous step since the use of any nuclear weapons might quickly escalate. What would the United States do if Russia used battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine?
Police officers are seen deployed in central Novosibirsk following calls to protest against partial mobilisation announced by Putin today
Here I hope to be forgiven for observing that the intellectually somewhat dicky 79-year-old Joe Biden doesn’t appear the most dependable or best informed leader the free world has ever had. All that can be said is that, in this crisis, he is preferable to Donald Trump.
Our best bet may be that, as it becomes clearer to Russians that their country is losing the war in Ukraine, and thousands of Russian lives are being sacrificed, there will be a putsch against Putin before he does anything truly stupid. This, though, is beyond our control. And it might not happen.
I am not by nature an alarmist but I admit to feeling fearful. Rationality may well prevail. However, there are, alas, many examples in history — Hitler’s doomed invasion of Russia in 1941 is a good one — of despots jettisoning all good sense.
We can only hope that our leaders — unlike Boris Johnson in April — are aware of the great dangers we face. I fear the British public hasn’t yet woken up to them.
All our silly squabbles concerning strikes, and even our justified fears about the soaring price of energy, could quite soon seem utterly trivial in the light of an unthinkable — but not impossible — catastrophe.

Deal that prevented rail strike still needs worker support
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A last-minute deal prevented a railroad strike for now, but many rail workers remain unhappy with working conditions, including some who protested outside their workplaces Wednesday ahead of votes to approve the new contracts.
Handfuls of workers gathered outside railyards across the country in pickets organized by a newly formed workers group separate from the 12 unions that negotiated the deals last week with the major U.S. freight railroads. The protesters expressed dissatisfaction with the deals, just as the unions are trying to explain the potential benefits they negotiated to their roughly 115,000 members ahead of contract votes.
Fears about the dire economic consequences of a rail strike that could cripple all kinds of businesses that rely on railroads to deliver raw materials and finished goods prompted the Biden administration to jump into the middle of the contract talks last week and urge both sides to reach an agreement. The contract talks included Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, BNSF, CSX, Kansas City Southern and a number of other railroads, so the entire country would have been affected by a strike.
Nearly a dozen BNSF workers gathered near Minot, North Dakota, Wednesday with homemade signs declaring "We demand more!!" and "We will not back down." Another group of a half dozen workers stood outside their worksite in Olathe, Kansas, with signs saying "Railroad greed driving inflation" and "Greedy railroads harming nations supply chain."
Workers' concerns about time off and demanding attendance policies at the railroads took center stage in the negotiations. In the end, the unions that represent engineers and conductors secured a promise of three extra unpaid days off for workers to attend doctors' appointments without being penalized and improved scheduling of days off to go with the 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses that a special board appointed by President Joe Biden recommended this summer for the five-year deals.
It remains to be seen whether those concessions are enough to get workers to vote for these deals. A branch of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union rejected a deal last week that didn't include those extra days off, so they are back at the table now working on a new pact. Two smaller unions did approve their deals, but the nine other unions will be counting their votes at various times over the next two months.

The two biggest unions that held out the longest - the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union that represents engineers, and the Transportation Division of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers union that represents conductors - aren't expected to report the results of their votes until mid November. Members of those unions are still waiting to see all the details of the deals that Biden announced last Thursday because lawyers are still finalizing everything before the full agreements get released.
That puts any potential for a strike out beyond the midterm elections, which mitigates the potential political impact of the talks for Biden and the Democrats. If any of the unions do reject their contracts, Congress could still be forced to step in.
Recently retired engineer Marilee Taylor, who left the railroad in Chicago after more than 30 years earlier this year when BNSF imposed the strictest attendance policy in the industry, said she doesn't think the tentative agreements do enough to address the schedule and workload concerns after the major railroads eliminated nearly one-third of their workforces over the past six years. Unions say the railroads' strict policies make it hard to take any time off without a penalty.
"The issue remains we're working fatigued," said Taylor, who is active with the Railroad Workers United coalition that urged workers to go on strike. "The safety of ourselves, our coworkers and the people that we serve - whose communities we run through - are at risk .... These conditions are losing many, many workers who cannot maintain 90% of their every breathing moment in service or at the behest of the railroad."
Norfolk Southern engineer Hugh Sawyer said it's hard to tell how many workers will ultimately vote for these deals because they might decide these agreements are the best they can get, although he said he's not hearing many people happy with them. Even if they remain frustrated, workers may not be willing to go on strike and risk having Congress intervene and impose a contract on them that could be worse than what the unions agreed to.
"We´re sick and tired of the way we´re treated out there," said Sawyer, a 34-year veteran of the railroad who serves as treasurer of the Railroad Workers United group that includes workers from all the unions. "There's a lot of anger out there."
One example of the schedule challenges rail workers face is that Sawyer just had outpatient surgery done earlier this week on one of his days off, but he has no idea when he'll be able to schedule an appointment to have the stitches removed from his head next week because he'll be on call then and doesn't know when he'll be working.
"It's just ridiculous," he said.

Fears for increase in harmful gambling among women as cost of living bites
The rising cost of living is expected to lead to an increase in harmful gambling among women as they try to supplement their household income, a charity has warned.
GambleAware said nearly one in four women (24%) aged 18-49 who gamble expects to gamble more in the coming months due to the cost-of-living crisis, with 12% already turning to gambling in an attempt to increase their income.
A fifth of women (21%) are also already experiencing health challenges such as stress and anxiety due to gambling, a survey for the charity suggests.
It fears this will increase over the coming months, with winter already associated with a spike in traffic to gambling websites among women.
In response, the charity has launched a prevention campaign targeting women to raise awareness of the support available for those who may be struggling.
The campaign challenges the stigma around women who gamble, encouraging them and their loved ones to spot early warning signs.

The survey of more than 1,600 women who gamble found that one in three (32%) would be reluctant to speak to a family member about concerns over their gambling, with nearly half (49%) of these women stating shame as a key barrier.
Some 63% felt women’s gambling is seen as less acceptable than men’s, with one in five (19%) already hiding or downplaying their gambling.
GambleAware chief executive Zoe Osmond said: “As financial hardships accelerate amid the cost-of-living crisis, and the number of women gambling online increases, we are concerned it is creating a perfect storm which may lead to a rise in the number of women experiencing gambling harm.
“We must break down the pervasive stigma that prevents too many women from seeking out vital support.
“If you are worried about your gambling or are starting to lose track of time, spending more than you can afford or hiding your gambling from others, please don’t hesitate to visit BeGambleAware.org for free confidential support, or call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.”
Opinium surveyed 1,606 women online who had gambled in the previous month between August 11-18.

South Korean, Japanese leaders meet, agree on need to improve ties
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida held the first one-on-one talks between their countries' leaders since 2019 on Wednesday and agreed on the need to improve relations by resolving issues of dispute.
The meeting took place in New York on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
Yoon became president in May and has been keen to improve relations with Tokyo, which have been plagued by disputes stemming from Japan's 1910-45 colonization of the Korean peninsula, at a time when both countries face threats from North Korea. Japan has also stressed the importance of strategic cooperation.
"The two leaders agreed on the need to improve bilateral relations by resolving pending issues, and agreed to instruct their diplomats to accelerate talks between them to that end while also continuing discussions between themselves," Yonhap quoted Yoon's deputy spokesperson, Lee Jae-myoung, as saying.
Lee said the leaders shared serious concerns about North Korea's nuclear program, including its recent law authorizing first use of nuclear weapons and the possibility of a resumption of nuclear testing for the first time since 2017.
Both sides described talks as "informal" and said they lasted 30 minutes.
Japan's Foreign Ministry Press Secretary Hikariko Ono said the two leaders "shared the need to bring back the sound bilateral relationship with the resolution of various issues."
She said they agreed to develop relations "in a future-oriented manner based on the foundation of the friendly and cooperative relationship that both countries built since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1965."
Yonhap said Yoon and Kishida met several times on the sidelines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Madrid in June, which included a trilateral meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, but Wednesday's meeting was the first time they had sat down for one-on-one talks.

Why an increase in capital gains tax may not deter investors
Thursday September 22 2022The Finance Act of 2022 (Finance Act) has amended the Income Tax Act (ITA), by increasing the rate of capital gains tax (CGT) from 5 percent to 15 percent.
The Finance Act provides that the increase will take effect from 1 January 2023. In the case of a firm certified by the Nairobi International Financial Centre Authority that invests Sh5 billion in Kenya, and where the transfer of such investment is made after five years, the applicable rate shall be the rate that was prevailing at the time when the investment was made.
CGT is tax imposed on the transfer of property situated in Kenya, acquired on or after January 2015. A transfer of property is said to have occurred if property is sold, exchanged, conveyed, or otherwise disposed of in any manner (including by way of gift), whether or not for consideration. Further a transfer occurs on destruction, abandonment, surrender, cancellation, or forfeiture of property.
Examples of properties that incur CGT when transferred are land, buildings, securities, and shares. Property transfer for the purpose of securing a loan, transfer of assets between spouses, transfer by a creditor for the purpose only of returning property used as security for a debt or a loan, and transfer of shares listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange are exempt from CGT.
The increase in the rate of CGT comes as no surprise as there have been numerous conversations surrounding the matter for a while. Among the reasons for the increase includes the comparatively higher CGT rates in other East African countries such as Uganda, Tanzania (10 percent for residents) and Rwanda’s rates of 30 percent. Kenya's CGT rate of 5 percent was relatively low.
The Government could argue that even with the increase, the CGT rate of 15 percent is still low compared to other East African countries and other African countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Egypt and Ghana.
In the Report on the Finance Bill 2022 by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, many stakeholders proposed that the CGT rate of 15 percent be reconsidered to a lower rate of 10 percent, citing that Kenya is yet to adopt a mechanism to address inflation adjustment in the increased CGT rate.
Furthermore, the stakeholders argued that the increased CGT rate would have a negative impact on Kenya's competitiveness as an economic hub and investment destination.
The committee recommended that the CGT rate be revised from 15 percent to 10 percent. Despite these recommendations from the committee and stakeholders, the Finance Act adopted a CGT rate of 15 percent.
The increase will see property owners, developers and investors pay higher tax charges upon the sale of properties. Consequently, the Government ranks as the main beneficiary due to an increase in the revenue collected.
Owing to the significant change made, the Government could have considered a gradual increase, say the 10 percent increase that was proposed by stakeholders.
This would have cushioned investors who will be massively affected and from whom the 200percentincrease is likely to elicit strong reactions as a significant portion of capital gains on disposal of properties is often attributed to a general increase in prices because of inflation.
The proposed increase should, therefore, have considered an inflation adjustment (indexation) to arrive at equitable value. In the present context, indexation refers to an adjustment of the asset value to eliminate the effect of inflation using the consumer price index.
However, we do still expect investors to invest in Kenya due to the comparatively lower CGT rate and the ease of doing business in Kenya (Kenya is ranked fourth in Africa for ease of doing business). In addition, it is considered to be the main economic hub of East Africa and is among the top fastest-growing African economies.

'Russia should pay for this war': Volodymyr Zelensky demands 'just punishment' for invasion of Ukraine as he speaks remotely at the UN: Wife attends in person after spotted out in New York City
- Speaking to the assembly by video-broadcast from Ukraine, Zelensky demanded a compensation fund from Russia, saying the nation should 'pay for this war with its own assets'
- During the speech Zelensky called 15 times for 'punishment' of Russia over its invasion while laying out what he called his conditions for peace
- Sporting his signature green military t-shirt, Zelensky received a rare standing ovation in the General Assembly, which has returned in person after two years of pandemic restrictions
- Though Zelensky did not attend in person, his wife, Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska, was in attendance at the assembly after being seen on the streets of New York City before the speech
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that the world punish Russia in a dramatic address to the UN General Assembly Wednesday, saying Russia should be forced to pay for Ukraine's war expenses.
Speaking to the assembly by video-broadcast, Zelensky demanded a compensation fund and said Russia 'should pay for this war with its own assets.'
During the speech Zelensky called 15 times for 'punishment' of Russia over its invasion while laying out what he called his conditions for peace,
'Ukraine demands punishment for trying to steal our territory. Punishment for the murders of thousands of people. Punishment for tortures and humiliations of women and men,' Zelensky said in English in the pre-recorded video.
Sporting his signature green military t-shirt, Zelensky received a rare standing ovation in the General Assembly, which has returned in person after two years of pandemic restrictions.
Though Zelensky did not attend in person, his wife, Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska, was in attendance at the assembly after being seen on the streets of New York City before the speech.
Olena looked super chic in a black pantsuit as her husband said Ukraine would prevail in repelling Russia's attack.
Her blazer sported a wide white lapel, and she wore a pair of bright high-heeled pumps to match.
Olena - wearing her wavy blonde hair in a side part - could seen stoically listening as her husband called for a special tribunal to hold Russia accountable, which he said would be a 'signal to all would-be aggressors.'

Zelensky's address came hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin mobilized reservists and made a veiled threat to use nuclear weapons.
Zelensky did not discuss the mobilization in detail during his speech, but he suggested any Russian talk of negotiations is only a delaying tactic, and that Moscow's actions speak louder than its words.
'They talk about the talks but announce military mobilization. They talk about the talks but announce pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories of Ukraine,' he said.
'Russia is afraid of real negotiations and does not want to fulfill any fair international obligations. It lies to everyone - as is typical for aggressors, for terrorists.'

Putin's partial mobilization decree was sparse on details. Officials said as many as 300,000 reservists could be tapped.
It was apparently an effort to seize momentum after a Ukrainian counteroffensive this month retook swaths of territory that Russians had held.
But the first such call-up in Russia since World War Two also brings the fighting home in a new way for Russians and risks fanning domestic anxiety and antipathy toward the war.
Shortly after Putin's announcement, flights out of the country rapidly filled up, and hundreds of people were arrested at anti-war demonstrations across the country.

Other world leaders also joined Zelensky in rebuking Russia on Wednesday, including US President Joe Biden and French president Emmanuel Macron.
'Russia has shamelessly violated the core tenets of the United Nations Charter,' Biden told the General Assembly.
'Let us speak plainly. A permanent member of the United Nations Security Council invaded its neighbor - attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map.'
President Macron, speaking on the sidelines of the General Assembly, said that the world must put 'maximum pressure' on Putin whose decisions 'will serve to isolate Russia further.'
The European Union said its foreign ministers would hold an emergency meeting late Wednesday in New York to address Putin's speech.

Rivals Rankings Week: Notable changes in updated 2024 Rivals150
The Rivals150 for 2024 has been revamped. The changes are many, as names both new and old continue to jostle for position in the rankings. The headline for the refresh, of course, is Tre Johnson seizing the top spot, but there’s plenty more to discuss.
Below, Rivals recruiting director Rob Cassidy explores a few of the most notable changes to the list.
RELATED: Thoughts on the newly ranked top 10 players
*****
2023 Rankings: Rivals150 | Team | Position
2024 Rankings: Rivals150 | Team
2025 Rankings: Top 40
Transfer Portal: Latest news
*****
A NEW NAME TOPS THE LIST
Tre Johnson is the third different prospect to top the class since Rivals debuted its 2024 rankings last year, which says as much about the class as a whole as it does about Johnson, who spent the summer showing off the most potent blend of production and upside of any 2024 prospect.
His length and shooting stroke are his calling cards, but the Texas-based star has taken enormous strides as a ball handler in the last year. He seems to be trending in the right direction in regard to becoming a complete prospect capable of facilitating, in addition to scoring at all three levels.
The 6-foot-5 guard is incredibly developed for his young age, and his offer list matches his advanced skill set. He’s recently visited Baylor and Texas and is also interested in programs such as Arkansas, Duke, Gonzaga and Kentucky. If the NBA finalizes its plan to eliminate the one-and-done rule that will almost certainly be worth monitoring.
*****
BIDUNGA SETS HIS SIGHTS ON THE TOP SPOT
Joining the new No. 1 in this edition of the Rivals150 is a new No. 2, as big man Flory Bidunga slid into the second spot based on a breakout summer and the fact that he comes equipped with absolutely tantalizing upside.
Already a dominant shot blocker and clearly the best big in 2024, Bidunga is beginning to acquire offensive polish and a level of versatility that has put him in the conversation for the top spot in the class.
Schools such as Bradley, Kansas, Auburn and others have already offered, but Bidunga’s offer list will likely grow significantly in the coming year.
*****
DYLAN HARPER BREAKS INTO TOP 10
The son of NBA champion Ron Harper Sr. and brother of former Rutgers star Ron Harper Jr., Dylan Harper has already started to blaze his own trail and looked every bit the top 10 prospect playing with the NY Rens on the EYBL circuit over the summer.
A gifted ball-handler with the ability to score in a number of different ways, Harper is a true combo guard capable of playing on ball or off, as his versatility gives him the kind of long-term NBA upside befitting a top 10 prospect. He’s become a better shooter and spent the summer proving he is capable of creating for teammates and for himself.
Rutgers is obviously involved here, but the Scarlet Knights will need to hold off schools such as Duke, UCLA, Michigan and Auburn if they hope to land Harper’s pledge.
*****
ZOOM DIALLO MAKES MEMORABLE DEBUT
Point guard Zoom Diallo is ranked higher than any other debuting prospect in the class, going from unranked to No. 19 in the Rivals150. The Washington-based Diallo’s length and upper-body strength allow him to get to his spots rather easily and finish through contact with relative ease.
That said, he’s also one of the most poised point guards in the class and dictates pace while possessing the speed to get downhill quickly and score at the rack. He has the size and motor to be a great defender, though he needs some polish on that end of the floor.
From a recruiting standpoint, in-state Gonzaga seems to be a major player and possibly the favorite to land Diallo’s commitment down the road. He’s set to visit Florida State and Arizona in October. Oregon is also involved.
*****
JUKE HARRIS KICKS IN THE DOOR TO TOP 40
From unranked to the No. 40 player in the 2024 class, North Carolina-based guard Juke Harris is firmly on the national radar and also on the minds of coaches from programs such as Houston, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, which are all pursuing him at this juncture. Harris will visit Tennessee and Houston in October, and his recruitment will begin to really take shape this winter.
A crafty scorer that can put the ball in the basket in a number of ways, Harris thrived against top-flight competition playing for Team Loaded on the adidas 3SSB Circuit. He’s known as an elite long-range shooter but is also becoming more reliable taking defenders off the dribble and using his solid frame to develop as an effective defender.

Regional News of Thursday, 22 September 2022
Source: Richard Asamoah
The Tema East Constituency Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nene Agbadiagba Ofoe-Teyechu IV, has described the ongoing works on the Eastern Corridor roads under President Akufo-Addo as a correction of failure.
In a write-up commenting on the President’s inspection of the road, Nene Agbadiagba said the project is the current President’s salvaging effort for a mess that former President Mahama and his administration left behind.
“Over this same road, Mahama and the NDC government had gone for a US$ 3 billion Chinese loan. However, they were never able to fix it for eight whole years.
“Akufo-Addo has been in power for just six years and already we are looking at completion in 2023. The difference is clear; what Mahama could not do, Akufo-Addo has come to do,” Nene Agbadiagba Ofoe-Teyechu wrote.
His comment follows a recent inspection of the Asikuma-Have stretch of the Eastern Corridor Road which is expected to be completed in September 2023.
This is part of the 58 road projects being constructed in the Volta region, out of which 129 kilometres have been completed.
And the 2023 completion date was assured by the Volta Regional Director of the Ghana Highway Authority, Mr. Eric Dorsu.
So far, 41 kilometres out of the 53-kilometres of the Have-Hohoe stretch have been completed.
“Already, 22-kilometres of the 30-kilometre Hohoe to Jasikan, and the entire 56-kilometre Jasikan-Dodo Pepeso section, have been completed,” Nene Agbadiagba Ofoe-Teyechu pointed out.
More also, work is steadily ongoing on the Nkwanta-Kpassa and the Oti-Damongo sections as well.
The 696km stretch begins from Tema in the Greater Accra Region to Kulungugu in the Upper East Region. It is the shortest route linking the northern part of the country to the south.
Amongst the roads completed in the Volta Region include 21 kilometres of asphaltic overlay of selected roads in Hohoe and Kpandu Municipalities. 15.6 kilometres of bitumen surfacing of Akwettey-Adaklu -Waya Road; 20 kilometres of Bitumen Surfacing of Yorkitikpo-Kpoviadzi-Trepe Road; and the upgrading of 9.7-kilometre Liati Agbonyira -Fodome Ahor Feeder Road.
The 175-metre bridge on the Agbenoxoe-Dafor Feeder Road, which links communities between Kpando, Dafor to Nkonya, has been completed.
The Dualisation of Ho Main Road (10km) between Sokode Gbogame and Civic Centre, the first major dual carriageway in the Volta Regional Capital, is 85% and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2022.
Work on the 39.3km Asikuma Junction – Kpeve section of the Eastern Corridor Road is 26% complete and planned to be completed by December 2023.
It is expected to be completed ahead of schedule. The contractor has also been instructed to work on the 6km gap between Kpeve and Have.
The government is also working towards the commencement of works on the Volivo Bridge and approach roads. Work is expected to commence by the first quarter of 2023.
Tendering processes are also ongoing for the 39.2km Dufor-Adidome-Asikuma Junction and the 23.9km Asutsuare Junction – Aveyime Roads, which will serve as approach roads to the Volivo Bridge.
The project is to be funded by the African Development Bank, with work expected to commence by January 2023.
Nene Agbadiagba said, “the NDC have said Mahama is the king of infrastructure but the truth is that Akufo-Addo is beating him in that game.”
He urged Ghanaians to continue to support the president and be expectant of more development from Akufo-Addo.
“More importantly, Ghanaians must learn to separate propaganda from truth. Mahama is not the infrastructure king, it is Akufo-Addo rather.”

Baseball-Mets set unwanted record after 106th batter hit by pitch
NEW YORK, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The New York Mets saw a modern era record 106th batter hit by a pitch in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Luis Guillorme was hit on the left foot by Brewers reliever Jake Cousins in the ninth inning, sending the infielder crashing to the ground, as the Mets moved past the 2021 Cincinnati Reds for having the most batters hit in a single season since 1900, according to Major League Baseball.
Mets manager Buck Showalter stood shaking his head after Guillorme was hit and then took possession of the ball.
"It would be obscene to tell you what I'm going to do with it," a frustrated Showalter told reporters.
"No, I haven´t even thought about it, to be honest with you. I gave it to the hitting coaches. They can do what they want with it."
The road loss ended a six-game winning streak for the Mets, who still top the NL East at 95-56 and have already secured a spot in the postseason. (Reporting by Amy Tennery in New York; Editing by Peter Rutherford )

US President Joe Biden supports Germany, Japan, and India as permanent members of a reformed United Nations Security Council, a senior official of his administration has said.
At the same time, a lot of work needs to be done in this matter, the official told reports on Wednesday on condition of anonymity.
"We have historically and continue to stand behind the idea that Germany, Japan, and India should be permanent members of the Security Council," the official said in response to a question.
Earlier on Wednesday, President Joe Biden in his address at the UN General Assembly reiterated his commitment to reforming the UN Security Council.
Biden said he believes the time has come for the institution to become more inclusive so that it can better respond to the needs of today's world.
Members of the UN Security Council, including the United States, should consistently uphold and defend the United Nations Charter and refrain from the use of the veto, except in rare and extraordinary situations, to ensure that the Council remains credible and effective, he said.
"That is also why the United States supports increasing the number of both permanent and non-permanent representatives of the Council. This includes permanent seats for those nations we've long supported," Biden said.

Govt may let Apple’s select China vendors set up India plants
The company that recently launched the iPhone 14, the latest iteration of its largest selling product, has been progressively scaling up India production to lower reliance on China.
New Delhi: The government may allow Apple’s Chinese vendors to set up manufacturing plants in India on a case-by-case basis after ensuring that the Cupertino-based iPhone maker has no other option to source components, said officials with knowledge of the matter.
They said that the government is open to investments by Chinese entities that offer technology and production capabilities for which there is no alternative available.
“If there is no alternative to the technology a vendor has to offer, the government has no issues in allowing it unless there are some concerns about the entity,” said one of the officials.
If there are some concerns about the vendor and there is no alternative available, the Indian manufacturer will need to import the components.
The government would also suggest a transfer of technology for local manufacturing, a model it had followed in the case of investments from China, the official said.
“We have asked them (Apple) to furnish a list of vendors,” the official said, adding that these would be vetted before the government gives its nod.
Apple didn’t respond to queries.
The government has been urging the world’s most valuable company to bring its entire manufacturing ecosystem to India spanning iPhones, iPads and computers.
The company that recently launched the iPhone 14, the latest iteration of its largest selling product, has been progressively scaling up India production to lower reliance on China.
Analysts and industry executives estimate the December quarter will mark Apple’s highest ever shipment of iPhones to India at around 570,000 units compared with 370,000 units last year, ET reported earlier this month.
However, Apple continues to import many components.
The brokerage expects Apple to move about 5% of iPhone 14 production from late 2022 to India, which is the world's second-biggest smartphone market after China.
India had in April 2020 amended the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy and made a prior government nod mandatory for foreign investment from countries sharing a land border with it, a measure that was seen largely targeted at Chinese investments. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), while making the change, said in its press note that this was aimed at “curbing opportunistic takeovers/acquisitions of Indian companies due to the current Covid-19 pandemic.”
These changes to the FDI policy implied that any foreign direct investment from Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Afghanistan needed prior government approval, irrespective of the FDI cap applicable to the sector. Prior approval was made mandatory for sectors that were otherwise on the automatic route. This applied even to indirect FDI from these countries routed via others.
An inter-ministerial committee set up to look at proposals involving FDI from China has so far cleared investments in Citizen Watches Co., Nippon Paint Holdings and Netplay Sports Pvt Ltd. The three-pronged framework may help speed up a decision on some of the stalled proposals.

(News Focus) Is Samsung-Arm merger deal possible?
By Woo Jae-yeon
SEOUL, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- British chip designer Arm is the talk of the town -- again -- in South Korea, as it emerged as Samsung Electronics Co.'s potential merger and acquisition target.
Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong said Wednesday that SoftBank Group Corp. CEO Masayoshi Son will visit South Korea next month to talk about a potential partnership or a deal.
"When he visits, he might have some offer (regarding an Arm deal). But I am not sure," he told reporters upon arrival at Gimpo International Airport from his two-week business trip abroad, without elaborating further.
His last stop was Britain, where the semiconductor and software design company is based, stoking years-old speculations that deep-pocket Samsung might be interested in buying Arm, to consolidate its position as a leading chipmaker and beef up its competitiveness further in the industry of growing strategic importance.
But he did not meet Arm executives during his visit to Britain, Lee said.
"I want to discuss a strategic alliance for Arm with Samsung," Son was quoted as saying by Bloomberg on Wednesday night, confirming Son's planned visit to Seoul for the first time in three years.
Samsung has been eying a new M&A deal for years.
At the CES 2022, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman and co-CEO Han Jong-hee said the company was extensively reviewing M&A opportunities in various industries.
"We are moving faster than you might think. We are open to every possibility, and I think we can deliver good news sooner or later," he said at that time.
The last major M&A deal of Samsung, the world's largest memory chip and smartphone vendor, came in 2016, when it acquired U.S.-based Harman International Industries, specializing in connected car solutions, for US$8 billion.
Since then, speculations have been flying around, with Samsung executives reaffirming a deal is imminent. But no news has been heard on that front.
In September 2020, Nvidia, one of the world's largest chip companies by market capitalization, and Softbank entered a mega $40 billion deal to combine Nvidia's leading AI computing capabilities with the vast ecosystem of Arm's central processing unit.
A deal would make the two firms "advance computing from the cloud, smartphones, PCs, self-driving cars and robotics, to edge IoT, and expand AI computing to every corner of the globe," Nvidia said in a press release.
In February, however, what would have been the biggest chip deal collapsed because of "significant regulatory challenges."
Competition regulators in the U.S., EU, China and Britain had expressed concerns that the combination of the chip industry's two major players could pose a major threat to fair competition.
Following the deal's collapse, SoftBank, which acquired Arm in 2016, said it will, instead, take the chip company public by the end of next March.
Even if Samsung is interested in a potential deal, it would still face the same regulatory hurdle. And Samsung is not the only chipmaker attracted to Arm's technology and IP licensing portfolio.
In March, Park Jung-ho, vice chairman and CEO of SK hynix Inc., the world's second-largest memory chip maker, said the company was "reviewing a possibility of forming a consortium, together with strategic partners, to jointly acquire" Arm.
"I don't believe Arm is a company that could be bought by one company," Park said. "I want to buy Arm, if not entirely. It doesn't have to be buying a majority of its shares to be able to control the company," he said.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon also said in May his company was considering creating a consortium with rivals to buy a stake in Arm in order to maintain Arm's neutrality, given its importance in the global chip ecosystem.
The possibility of Samsung acquiring Arm entirely on its own is "slim," said Greg Roh, head of technology research at HMC Investment & Securities.
"Samsung is similar to Nvidia. It makes Arm-based system-on-chip (SoC) like Exynos. So the same antitrust rule will be likely applied to Samsung," he said.
"But it is still a good thing for Samsung to put many options on the table, as it repeatedly said it was actively looking for deals."

FOREX-Dollar hits two-decade high on Fed outlook; yen falls after BOJ
By Kevin Buckland
TOKYO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar pushed to a fresh two-decade high versus major peers on Thursday, propelled by the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook for interest rates and after Russian President Vladimir ordered the country's first mobilisation since World War Two.
The dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of six counterparts including the euro, sterling and yen, rose as high as 111.79 for the first time since mid-2002.
The greenback climbed to a new 24-year high above 145 yen after the Bank of Japan maintained ultra-low interest rates and dovish policy guidance on Thursday.
It also notched new highs against regional currencies from the Australian and New Zealand dollars to the offshore Chinese yuan and the Korean won, as well as the Singapore dollar and Thai baht.
The Fed issued new projections showing rates peaking at 4.6% next year with no cuts until 2024. It raised its target interest rate range by another 75 basis points overnight to 3.00%-3.25%, as was widely expected.
The dollar was already supported by demand for safe-haven assets after Putin announced he would call up reservists to fight in Ukraine and said Moscow would respond with the might of all its vast arsenal if the West pursued what he called its "nuclear blackmail" over the conflict there.
The two-year U.S. Treasury yield reached a fresh 15-year high of 4.132% in Tokyo trading.
"Both the Fed projections and the Russia headlines contributed to the dollar's strength, which was particularly acute against the euro and other European currencies," said Shinichiro Kadota, a senior FX strategist at Barclays in Tokyo.
"Commodity currencies also took a big hit due to the deterioration in risk sentiment."
The dollar rose as high as 145.405 yen, but then sharply swung back following the initial knee-jerk reaction to the BOJ's announcement, and last traded 0.31% higher at 144.53.
The outcome reinforced market expectations that the BOJ will continue to swim against a global tide of monetary tightening, despite a weaker yen.
The Bank of England also announces policy on Thursday, with markets split on whether a 50 or 75 basis point hike is in the offing.
Sterling fell to a fresh 37-year low of $1.1221, and last changed hands at $1.1240, a 0.26% decline from the previous session.
The euro weakened to a new 20-year trough of $0.9807, before trading 0.18% down on Wednesday at $0.9820.
The Aussie dropped 0.6% to $0.6593 after having touched $0.6583, its lowest since mid-2020. Liquidity in the currency may be thin with Australia observing a public holiday.

Khalifa Haftar told Libyans to be ready for an all-out battle against corruption and political absurdity in a speech before a crowd in Ghat city south of Libya on Monday.
In his address, he called on the civilians to engage in this battle alongside the army and to “change the grim reality”.
Haftar, who was found liable for war crimes in an American court last July, said his forces “are ready to protect the people and the national and civil forces”.
He called on Libyans to set an example for the people of the world in freedom, civility, urbanization, growth, progress, reconciliation, and peacemaking.
The retired military commander, who is approaching his eighties, has for years been vying to become the leader of the country.
Since the so-called Dignity operation, he launched in 2014, Haftar had made non-stop coup attempts framed as a “war on terror” and fought to remove all civil authorities, including Libya’s first democratically elected parliament, the General National Congress.
He told the crowd that Libya had slipped into a dark tunnel at the hands of politicians and the parties competing for power.
“The battle of building the state cannot be won by speeches, lies, and hypocrisy, or by those who claim they are acting on behalf of the people, who should represent themselves,” Haftar added.

U.S. theft claims soar for Hyundai, Kia vehicles, non-profit group says
By David Shepardson
WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - U.S. theft claims were nearly twice as common for Hyundai Motor and Kia Corp vehicles compared with all other manufacturers among 2015 through 2019 model-year vehicles, a non-profit group said Thursday.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Highway Loss Data Institute said many 2015-19 model year Hyundai and Kia vehicles do not have electronic immobilizers, which prevent people from breaking in and bypassing the ignition. The feature is standard equipment on nearly all vehicles made by other manufacturers during that time-frame, IIHS said.
Hyundai and Kia both said their vehicles meet U.S. motor vehicle standards but said their vehicles were being targeted in a "coordinated effort" by social media users. Hyundai said engine immobilizers became standard on all vehicles produced after Nov. 1, 2021, while Kia said it added immobilizers in all vehicles during the 2022 model year.
Hyundai said that, starting Oct. 1, it will make available for purchase at dealerships a security kit that targets the method of entry thieves are using to access these vehicles.
Kia said: "Criminals are seeking vehicles solely equipped with a steel key and 'turn-to-start' ignition system. The majority of Kia vehicles in the United States are equipped with a key fob and 'push-button-to-start' system, making them more difficult to steal."
The insurance group said immobilizers were standard on 62% of models from other manufacturers in model year 2000, rising to 96% by 2015. But they were standard on only 26% of 2015 model year Hyundai and Kia vehicles, it said.
The group said that, after social media attention in Wisconsin in 2021, overall losses from Hyundai and Kia thefts - the amount paid on theft claims per insured vehicle year - soared to more than 30 times the 2019 level.

Ian Clarke: Mad October will shape Norwich City's season
- Credit: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd
If ever you need evidence of the frenetic and crazy nature of the Championship, then look at Norwich City's fixtures next month.
Having played just three league games in September and with only three scheduled in November and four in December, there's a grand total of eight in October.
The postponement of the trip to Burnley as a mark of respect after the Queen's death meant one fewer in September.
And the bizarre decision to award the World Cup to Qatar means there's a huge gap in the domestic calendar in the early part of winter.
I've had a flick back through the fixture schedules over the last few years and there have been very few times when there have been so many matches in a single month.
The latest enforced lay-off due to the international break finishes on October 1 as the Canaries head to the north west to take on Blackpool.
There's then a trip to Reading on October 4 and the visit of Preston to Carrow Road on October 8.

- 10 Jonathan Blathwayt: Why are fans feeling underwhelmed by Norwich City?
The Canaries face the crunch Saturday evening adventure to Watford on October 15, with Luton coming to NR1 on October 18 and then there are journeys to Sheffield United (October 22) and Burnley (October 25) before the crazy month ends with Stoke at home on October 29.
That's not far off a fifth of City's whole Championship campaign in roughly four weeks.
And with five of those eight matches being away, that's a big proportion of the miles covered in the campaign coming in that period.
It's pretty apt that the name of October comes from the Latin word for eight.
I'm certainly no historian, but I understand October was the eighth month in the Roman calendar and it was only later in time that January and February were added, meaning October is now where it is in our calendars.
So eight is a pretty relevant number for City's October - and there's no doubt that by the time the relentless month is over we will have much more idea of where this season is going.
What a really strange campaign it has been so far.
Six wins from 10 games, 19 points from the last seven matches, second in the league, two clear of third place and five points ahead of the team in the last play-off spot.
In fact it's been City's joint best start to a season after 10 games compared to all promotions from the modern second tier.
You would think there would be smiles on faces around Carra and we'd be looking ahead to the break with lots of optimism.
But anyone who was there as Dean Smith's men beat Bristol City and kept the unbeaten run going against West Brom will tell you differently.
Lots has been said and written about over the last few days about why there's such a strange atmosphere at Carrow Road when on paper the team is well placed in the promotion hunt.
As I'm generally a positive fan, I remain relatively upbeat.
The statistics so far say a lot and there are positives such as Teemu Pukki and Josh Sargent on scoring form, Onel Hernandez having a real impact and Aaron Ramsey showing lots of promise.
The prospect of decent investment from our new American friends also has to be positive.
But things are far from perfect.
Too many sloppy goals are being conceded, real fluency and tempo are lacking and fans are far from universally won over.
Despite the idea of a hangover from last season being dismissed, I think it is an issue for officials, players and fans.
Sadly it will take a while for the pain of the previous campaign to be forgotten.
And there's no doubt that lots of people have in the back of their minds that even if we go up, how will the yo-yoing be halted?
Come on, everyone, we've got to be really determined, look forward with confidence and not dwell on the past.
October is going to be manic and will go a huge way to shaping how this campaign will pan out.
OTBC
Lights off, music down
Let me get one thing clear to start with - I love music.
And as my wife will tell you, I love loud music.
But there's a time and place for it and I really can't understand why tunes have to belted out at such a volume before City home games and at half-time.
I've had a moan about it in this column before and other fans have told me they agree.
So many of us like to have a chat in the run-up to the game - we discuss the team news, what the formation should be, who are the danger men as well as a yap about what's been going on in the week.
And it's a similar story at the break.
But with the tannoy's volume being so high, it means you have to really yell to make yourself heard.
Meanwhile, I was not alone in being pretty surprised that as the sun shone on a lovely afternoon on Saturday, all the floodlights were on.
Surely with energy bills rocketing, every effort has to be made to save leccy?
Fantastic day in store
While there is no football for City this weekend, the club is hosting a fantastic match on Sunday to raise money and awareness for the fight against long-term brain damage suffered by players.
The Football Against Dementia match is between Ken Brown's Legends and Paul Chick's All Stars and kicks off at 3pm at Carrow Road.
Ken's team features an amazing line-up of ex-players, including some who won the Milk Cup in 1985.
Dave Watson, Asa Hartford, Mark Barham, Paul Haylock, Ruel Fox, Peter Mendham... the great names go on and on.
Players will arrive on an open top bus at 1.30pm, where they will parade the trophy which should be fantastic.
Tickets for the match are just £10 and can be purchased from Norwich City's official website.
So much has been talked about and written about concerning the dementia issue in football, but lots more needs to be done - and let's hope the profile of a match like this will make a real difference.
Please get along and show your support - and enjoy a memorable occasion.

Annaud returns to Hollywood with ‘Notre-Dame on Fire’
LOS ANGELES
Perhaps more than any other French director, Jean-Jacques Annaud has always felt at home making films in Hollywood, with the American movie capital’s flair for the epic and the spectacular.
Now, the 78-year-old Oscar-winner behind “The Name of the Rose,” “Seven Years in Tibet” and “Enemy at the Gates” is returning to Tinseltown with his latest film, “Notre-Dame On Fire” (“Notre-Dame Brule”), a thriller about the real-life blaze at the beloved cathedral in Paris.
Annaud spoke to AFP via phone from France’s capital as organizers of next month’s The American French Film Festival (TAFFF) announced on Sept. 20 that his movie will be their opening night Los Angeles gala premiere.
“I’m close to Notre-Dame now and far away from Los Angeles. But part of my heart remains in Los Angeles,” said Annaud.
The story of the inferno that engulfed Paris’ 12th-century Gothic landmark in 2019 was “a great drama that only a crazy Hollywood screenplay writer could imagine,” he said.
“Notre-Dame on Fire” dramatizes the story of firefighters who risked their lives to extinguish flames before the entire cathedral was destroyed and the mistakes and misfortunes that delayed the initial response.
The movie merges real archive footage of the fire with scenes shot by Annaud recreating the disaster.
It follows a security guard who accidentally checked the wrong cathedral attic for flames when the first alarm sounded, the fire engines stuck in Paris traffic and the supervisor who couldn’t get his self-service “Velib” bicycle to work as he rushed to the scene.
“I had the feeling when I was writing the screenplay that I had a goldmine... it was so bizarre, so incredible,” said Annaud.
Released in Europe earlier this year, the film shows how millions around the world watched in horror as the cathedral’s famous spire collapsed and much of its ancient roof was destroyed.
Notre-Dame cathedral typically welcomed nearly 12 million global visitors a year and Americans have been prolific contributors to an international fundraising drive to rebuild the landmark.
“Everywhere around the world, this cathedral was far more than a symbol of Paris, or France, or even Catholicism or Christianity,” said Annaud.
“It was far above that. It was, in a way, sort of the fear, the metaphor of the collapse of Western culture... it was a symbol of permanence.”
Next month’s festival appearance continues Annaud’s love affair with Hollywood, which he said often diverges from French film traditions in scale and budget.
“In America, I realized that the investment is to try to make the best thing you can and the most spectacular, the more appealing, the more attractive,” he said.
Unlike the French New Wave movement, which emerged in the 1950s from theater and novels and emphasized dialogue, American filmmaking focuses more on movement and the visual, said Annaud.
“The art of cinema is to tell exciting stories visually. If not, it’s a televised radio show, it’s another game, it’s something else,” he said.
“If we have the privilege to be seen on the big screen, it is to fill up this big screen and not to have only people who talk like on the television shows,” he added.
“I would not have done the movies that I’ve done without the full support and friendship of American production companies and major studios.”
Among other films playing this year at TAFFF, which runs October 10-16, will be “Final Cut” (“Coupez!”) from Michel Hazanavicius, the Oscar-winning director of “The Artist.”
Also on show will be two films recently named on a shortlist of French movies for submission to next year’s Oscars -- “The Worst Ones” (“Les Pires”) and “Full Time” (“A Plein Temps”).
Amazon Prime’s “Hawa” from Maimouna Doucoure, whose previous movie “Cuties” was released by Netflix and stirred international controversy over allegations of hypersexualizing young girls, will also feature.
The festival closes with Dominik Moll’s “The Night of the 12th” (“La Nuit du 12”) and a theatrical screening of HBO French-American miniseries “Irma Vep,” created by Olivier Assayas and based on his 1996 film of the same name.

Spalding: New high-tech CCTV cameras to be installed
- Published
New high-tech CCTV cameras are set to be installed in a Lincolnshire town in a bid to cut crime.
Spalding will be the first of three locations in the south and east of the county to get the new cameras, with Boston and Skegness to follow.
Funding for the £400,000 scheme came from the government's Safer Streets Fund.
South Holland District Council said 18 cameras would be installed at key spots in the town.
The project aims to deter crime and make those who visit the town feel safer, officials said.
Standard CCTV cameras will be replaced by ones using artificial intelligence (AI) technology which are able to locate people by clothing descriptions or vehicle types automatically.
The Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner's office heard from over 1,000 young people and identified sexual assaults and street harassment as the biggest threats to their safety.
Street harassment and stalking had also been raised as an issue at public events in Spalding, Boston and Skegness.
The local authority said the new CCTV cameras would help create a "safe zone area" in Spalding.
Councillor Gary Taylor said: "They will benefit not only our local residents, but local businesses too, offering a safer environment to those who want to visit the town in the evenings and at night."
It comes after similar projects in other parts of the county, including the use of hidden cameras in rural crime hotspots.

What is JOMO? Rising trend sees people cancel plans last minute to embrace the joy of missing out - and you will NEVER believe their excuses
- JOMO, joy of missing out, is seen as the exact opposite of FOMO and is trending
- People are increasingly cancelling plans to stay home, often at the last minute
- Psychologist Cass Dunn says cancelling plan gives us a huge rush of joy
People are sharing the 'most ridiculous reasons they have cancelled on friends' as the JOMO, or joy of missing out trend continues to grow.
The trend, which has been growing since the end of Covid lockdown, sees people cancelling plans at the last minute in favour of 'doing nothing'.
Online, people have admitted to cancelling 'because they have dandruff', to 'watch their plants' or in favour of chilling with their pets.
People have revealed some of the excuses they use in order to get out of seeing their friends
Crappy to Happy founder and psychologist Cass Dunn describes JOMO as the 'pure enjoyment of what you're doing in each moment without worrying what everyone else is doing'.
In essence the very opposite of FOMO, the fear of missing out.
'There is truly no better feeling than sending that life changing text to cancel plans so you can hit the sofa instead,' she told FEMAIL.
Adding popular activities include watching television on the couch or cuddling up with ice cream.
And it's not just old people ditching their well-thought-out plans to stay in, in fact research by ice cream company Ben and Jerry's suggest Gen Z lead the trend.
34 percent of the younger generation admitted to cancelling by telling their friends they had forgotten or were double booked.
While Gen X 'feel the most relieved' when they cancel, the stats show.
'Three in four Australians say they have used an excuse, whether it be a truth or a lie, to cancel plans, when they wanted to stay in rather than go out.'
While half of all Australians admit they feel a rush of excitement after deciding to stay home.
Psychologist Cass Dunn says we often agree to plans without taking time to consider how we will be feeling on the day
Dr Dunn says this is because we often make future plans because it 'feels good in the moment' and don't properly consider how we might be feeling on the day.
'We often commit to things in the future, assuming that this future self of ours will be energetic, motivated and feeling sociable after a long week,' she said.
'Eventually those decisions catch up with us and we're confronted with the reality of having agreed to do something we really would rather not.'
This leads to inner turmoil as we are faced with two options, go out when we don't want to or let down some one we care about, she explained.
'When we summon up the nerve to send the text and cancel the plans, we not only experience the immediate relief but also sheer joy,' she said.
'We're hit with a flood of dopamine in the reward centre of our brain and that feels really good.'
Dr Dunn wants people to feel okay to opt out of plans if they decide they don't want to go through with them and says there should be no need to come up with an excuse of pretend to be unwell.
'Letting ourselves off the hook can be a great act of self-care and we shouldn't feel guilty about prioritising our own need for some down-time ,' she said.
'We're hit with a flood of dopamine in the reward centre of our brain and that feels really good.'
Before cancelling Dr Dunn likes to remind herself of the relief she feels when others cancel on her.
'Sometimes the only thing more joyful than cancelling plans is having the other person be the one to cancel,' she said.
'So when I do the cancelling, I like to think that my friend might be just as relieved to get my text as I am to send it.'
Ben and Jerry's are calling for the best excuses people have come up with to flake out on their friends.
They are rewarding the winner with a Koala sofa and year' supply of ice cream to help them make the most of their time being anti-scoial at home.
Flakey friends have until September 30 to enter the competition.

Puerto Rico earns first women's basketball World Cup victory
SYDNEY (AP) - Arella Guirantes' huge effort helped Puerto Rico make history with its first win in the women's basketball World Cup.
Guirantes had 26 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to lead Puerto Rico to an 82-58 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday in the opener of the tournament.
"I´m lost for words right now since we have been grinding so much together," she said. "It feels great to pull out a win on such a great stage."
In other games Thursday, the U.S. beat Belgium 87-72; Canada topped Serbia 67-60 and Japan routed Mali 89-56. South Korea faced China and host Australia met France in later games.
Puerto Rico played in its first World Cup in 2018 and was winless in three games in that tournament. The country was also winless in the Tokyo Olympics last summer.
"It's a great win for us. We didn't win a game in the last world tournament," Puerto Rico coach Jerry Batista said. "We are very excited and happy about it."

The win comes at a difficult time for Puerto Rico as the island tries to recover from the destruction caused by Hurricane Fiona earlier this week.
"I know that you are going through a tough time. ... We´ve been through this before, so I know everyone in the community will lean on each other and help each other out. Stay safe," guard Jennifer O´Neill said.
Puerto Rico raced out to a 31-16 after the first quarter and never looked back. The 31 points were the most the country had scored in a period in its brief World Cup history.
In other games Thursday:
U.S. 87, BELGIUM 72
Breanna Stewart scored 22 points and Alyssa Thomas had 14 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in her debut for the U.S.
The Americans jumped out to a quick 12-0 lead before Belgium settled down to get within one. The U.S. lengthened the lead again behind Stewart and Loyd and was up 48-39 at the half. The Americans went on a 12-4 run to start the third quarter and put the game away.
Julie Vanloo scored 13 points to lead Belgium.
CANADA 67, SERBIA 60
Kayla Alexander scored 13 points and Nirra Fields added 12 to help Canada beat Serbia in the opener.
Trailing by one after the first quarter, the Canadians outscored Serbia 23-12 in the second quarter to take the lead and didn't look back.
Kia Nurse, who missed the entire WNBA season while recovering from a torn ACL she suffered in October 2021, had nine points in 19 minutes.
Yvonne Anderson scored 18 points to lead Serbia.
JAPAN 89, MALI 56
Aika Hirashita scored 17 points, hitting five 3-pointers and Stephanie Mawuli added 14 to help the Olympic silver medalists win their opener.
Japan only led 21-18 after one quarter before taking control in the second period with a 26-11 advantage. Japan continued to extend its lead in the third quarter and coasted the rest of the way.
Djeneba N'Diaye scored 13 points and Sika Kone added 10 for Mali, which is still looking to win its first World Cup contest since 2010.

Taking advantage of one’s local knowledge and perfecting ones skills within any discipline of angling is crucial and on Sunday, Kevin Bradshaw, Chairman of the Alliance and Leicester AC once again did just that.
Not only a founder member of this unique club, Bradshaw’s record again this year has proved more than ever that he’s an angler still very much at the top of his game.
For many anglers, being a member of a club is where it very much begins.
At times, some members interested in a little competition, to maybe bring some excitement into the game, at some time may choose to move on to the open scene after a while, but for many, returning, like many experienced rods do, a good club will always encourage some back and see many stay forever.
With this, the Alliance, a club that has many very experienced veteran matchmen members still within its ranks, their matches alone see massive weights recorded each week to make anyone envious.
This week again saw Bradshaw take the clubs honours on their home venue as he confidently put together a tremendous 126.13.0 of Ide to worm and caster.
Another long standing stalwart of the club is Kirkby’s Glyn Jones.
Jones again made the frame after winning last week and he took another creditable weight of 99.8.0 for second place in an incredibly tight finish that saw him just take the edge on Steve Cain’s 99.5.0.
Another of Merseyside great club outfits is the Mersey Dockers AC.
Last weekend, the ‘Dockers’ visited the River Weaver, and although it was a tough one, with conditions ‘clear’ with a river that was ‘low’, it was an eventful day for the members who saw tight some framing positions gathered.
Ormskirk’s Peter Foster took the best catch on the day which consisted of roach taken with caster and pole.
Foster’s a dab hand using his favourite ‘shell’ and that approach served him nicely on a tough day for a weight of 8.9.0.
Long standing member Colin Ambrose took second place with 7.7.0 with a maggot approach and Dave Ball’s 6.3.0 just saw off Paul Charnock’s 6.2.0 effort for third place.
Millhouse Fishery saw 23 rods lined up on Marin Lake on Sunday.
Wirral’s Maver backed Alan Dewhurst took the honours in this one as he put together a mixed bag of carp and skimmers for 48.2.0 on worm at 10m.
Steve Boyd took a similar approach that saw him take 44.2.0 and that was good enough to see off Jay Cloney’s pellet tactics that saw him take 38.0.0 for third.
On a final note many match anglers will be offering their best wishes to three of the regions finest feeder anglers this coming weekend.
St Helens rods Kevin Hall, David Rigby and Wigan’s Richard Pennington are all finalists in this week’s Preston Innovations Feeder masters competition on the prolific Tamar Lake in Cornwall.
With £30k of cash prizes to be won including a £15k first prize, I’m sure each of them will be welcoming everyone’s good wishes from their fellow St Helens AA members.
Good luck lads.

Catcher Stephen Vogt retiring after 10 big league seasons
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Veteran Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt will retire after 10 major league seasons and a long, patient road to break into the big leagues at age 27.
Not to mention a nearly 15-month wait to finally get his first hit.
Vogt endured an 0-for-32 hitless streak to start his career that began in Tampa Bay and ended in San Francisco's East Bay.
"It was like a year-and-a-half wait in between my first at-bat and when I got the first hit," said Vogt, who shared his future plans with The Associated Press. "I couldn't believe it had happened. It had been 32 at-bats and I was in my 33rd at-bat, got a pitch to hit and fortunately I got my first hit."
It came at last on June 28, 2013, a line-drive homer off Cardinals reliever Joe Kelly to end the longest hitless streak to begin a career by a non-pitcher since Chris Carter began 0-for-33 with the A´s in 2010.
Even after all that, Vogt eventually turned into a two-time All-Star and earned his own signature chant of "I believe in Stephen Vogt!" from fans who appreciated his path and struggles.

The 37-year-old journeyman played for Tampa Bay, Oakland, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Arizona and Atlanta, joining the A´s for a second stint this year.
"Vogter is one of the most inspiring players I´ve ever managed," said former A´s manager Bob Melvin, now skipper in San Diego. "What he means to a clubhouse is immeasurable - two-time All-Star, beloved in Oakland. One of my all-time favorites. Definitely has a future in managing."
Vogt showed little emotion as he ran the bases for his first hit that day, aside from high-fiving third base coach Mike Gallego while rounding for home. Vogt´s father, Randy, had taught him humility and to pick his moments.
In fact, Vogt recalls only three times that he visibly celebrated a big hit with a triumphant fist pump or arm raised to the sky, and he asks his own children not to flip their bats.
"I remember I was a big Barry Bonds fan and I said, `Dad, why does Barry Bonds stand at home plate and watch?´ It was his famous spin the circle one when I was a kid," Vogt recalled. "He said, `Stephen, when you have 500 home runs in the major leagues you can do whatever you want. Until then, you put your bat down and you run around the bases.´"
One time Vogt made an exception came a few months after his first hit, in October 2013. He produced his first career game-winning hit with a single off Justin Verlander in the playoffs for a 1-0 win against the Tigers that sent the best-of-five AL Division Series back to Detroit tied at 1.
After striking out twice against Verlander, Vogt fouled off seven pitches in a 10-pitch at-bat that ended the seventh with his third K. Vogt's next time up, he lined a bases-loaded single into left-center that won the game.
"For me, what it´s been about is persevering through adversity and persevering through being the guy that everyone always said, `Yeah, he could be good, but,´" Vogt said. "... If one person says, `Hey, if he can do it, I can do it,´ then that´s all that matters."
He had left the Rays organization for the A's on April 5 that '13 season, traded back home to his native California and only a few hours from where he grew up in Visalia. Then Oakland designated the fan favorite for assignment in June 2017.
A major shoulder injury in May 2018 while rehabbing with Milwaukee cost Vogt that year and threatened his career, but he endured surgery and a long rehab to land with the Giants in '19.
Last year, he began the season with the Diamondbacks before being traded to the Braves and winning a World Series ring even though he was injured for Atlanta's championship run. Vogt loved still being part of it.
"I had a coach tell me, `Every day you take the field there´s a little boy or girl that´s at their very first baseball game and you need to show them the correct way to play,´ and I´ve taken that to heart," he said. "And every night that´s why I run hard, that´s why I play hard. It´s the correct way to play baseball."
And to be a dependable teammate. At the start of spring training 2017, Vogt approached young catcher Sean Murphy and took him around to meet everybody and set up his locker because "he didn´t want me to look like a rookie," recalled Murphy, who cherished crossing paths with Vogt even when they no longer played together.
"Having him back this year is great," Murphy said. "When I heard they signed him I was like, `Yes, awesome, I can´t wait to play with him again.´"
Vogt hopes to keep leaving his mark by moving into a coaching or managing role. He has been learning from manager Mark Kotsay, Melvin, Craig Counsell and others along the way.
"I haven´t always been the best player. I´ve been one of the best players in the league, I´ve been one of the worst players in the league," Vogt said. "I´ve been injured and everywhere in between, I´ve been DFA´d twice, I´ve been traded, I´ve been non-tendered, you name it. I´ve been the guy that knew he was going to have a job next year to the guy that had to fight for his job next year, and just always go out and earn it."
In a season devoid of wins, it was Vogt who stood before his Oakland teammates after Tuesday night´s victory against Seattle and reminded everyone to celebrate at every chance.
"He felt passionate about it and spoke up," Kotsay said. "Does he need to do that at this point in the season when he's on his last 15 games? No, he doesn't. But that shows his character and his love for the game, his love for his teammates. It came across loud and clear."

GSK eyes Spero's experimental urinary tract infection drug, takes stake
Sept 22 (Reuters) - British drugmaker GSK said on Thursday it would take a stake in Spero Therapeutics as part of a licensing agreement for the U.S.-based drug developer's experimental antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI).
GSK will pay $66 million upfront for the oral antibiotic tebipenem HBr and buy $9 million of Spero shares as part of the deal.
"Tebipenem HBr complements GSK's infectious disease strategy and is consistent with our commitment to find value-enhancing opportunities to build a strong late-stage portfolio," GSK's chief commercial officer Luke Miels said in a statement.
In June, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declined to approve tebipenem, saying a late-stage study testing it was insufficient and an additional study would be required. Spero has said it plans a new late-stage trial for 2023.
The treatment has a fast track designation from the U.S. drug agency for cUTI and acute pyelonephritis.
GSK agreed to purchase 7.45 million Spero shares at about $1.20805 per share, which will not exceed 19.99% ownership of Spero by GSK and its affiliates, the companies said.
Spero's shares closed down 6.7% at 82 cents on Wednesday, while GSK was marginally down in early trade on Thursday amid broader market weakness.
Spero developed tebipenem HBr with Japan's Meiji Seika Pharma Co Ltd and is part of a subclass of antibiotics deemed to be effective in treating drug-resistant bacterial infections and is intended for adults with limited treatment options.

Seoul's stocks down, currency dips to over 13-yr low following Fed's rate hike
SEOUL, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korean stocks closed down on Thursday, as investors were spooked by growing worries over a global economic recession following the U.S. Federal Reserve's sharp rate hike decision. The Korean won fell to a 13-year low against the U.S. dollar.
The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) lost 14.9 points, or 0.63 percent, and closed at 2,332.31.
Trading volume was light at 436.1 million shares worth 7.3 trillion won, with decliners outnumbering gainers 579 to 299.
After starting low at the opening bell, the main bourse tumbled near the 2,300 mark but the losses were trimmed on bargain hunting.
Thursday's losses came after the Fed's overnight decision to raise its benchmark federal funds rate by 75 basis points for a third straight time, with its Chair Jerome Powell confirming his resolution to fight inflation "until the job is done."
The prospect of prolonged aggressive monetary tightening has stoked concerns that it could throw the U.S. economy into a recession, boding ill for export-driven countries such as South Korea.
"A strong tightening stance from the FOMC meeting coupled with the Fed's pessimistic outlook on the economy had some impact on the main bourse today," analyst Lee Kyoung-min from Daeshin Securities said.
"We forecast the KOSPI could drop to the 2,000 mark as early as the end of this year. A declining trend is expected to continue on until the first half of next year."
Foreign and institutional investors sold off a combined 34.3 billion won worth of stocks in net value, while retail investors scooped up a net 31.4 billion won worth of equities.
In Seoul, most large cap stocks ended in negative territory, led by losses in semiconductors and other tech issues.
Market bellwether Samsung Electronics lost 1.63 percent and closed at a two-year low of 54,400 won.
No. 2 chipmaker SK hynix plunged 2.27 percent to 86,000 won.
Internet portal giant Naver shed 3.05 percent to 206,500 won, and mobile messenger operator Kakao dived 4.22 percent to 61,300 won.
Bio shares were mixed. Samsung Biologics inched down 0.13 percent to 785,000 won, while bio firm Celltrion stayed unchanged at 169,000 won.
The local currency ended at 1,409.7 won against the greenback, down 15.5 won from the Wednesday session's close. The won had fallen through the 1,400 mark for the first time since March 20, 2009, when the local currency ended at 1,412.50 won against the greenback.

(2nd LD) (News Focus) Won's tumble strengthens case for sharp rate hikes, darkens outlooks for economy
(ATTN: UPDATES para 3 with closing data)
By Koh Byung-joon
SEOUL, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- A recent accelerating slide in the local currency against the U.S. dollar is feared to aggravate uncertainty over the South Korean economy already struggling in the face of galloping inflation, high borrowing costs and worries over slowing growth, observers said Thursday.
The won's sharp depreciation will likely exert upward inflation pressure and increase the cost of borrowing that experts worry could undercut the growth momentum of Asia's fourth largest economy by dampening consumption and corporate investment.
The Korean currency closed at 1,409.70 won per dollar on Thursday, down 15.50 won from the previous session. It had fallen through the 1,400 mark for the first time since March 20, 2009, when the local currency ended at 1,412.50 won against the greenback.
The won's tumble came as the dollar rallied following the U.S. Federal Reserve's overnight decision to raise its target interest rate by 75 basis points for a third straight time.
The U.S. central bank on Wednesday (U.S. time) hiked the federal funds rate to a range of 3-3.25 percent, the highest since 2008, and hinted at further large hikes. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also reaffirmed his resolution to tame inflation, saying he would "keep at it until the job is done."
The sharp fall in the won's value is raising yet another cause for concern for South Korea's economy, which has been faced with high inflation driven up by rising energy and commodity prices amid the prolonged war in Ukraine.
The country's consumer prices, a key gauge of inflation, jumped 5.7 percent in August from a year earlier, which is still high, though it slowed from the previous month's 6.3 percent on-year rise. A weak currency would heighten inflation pressure by making imports more expensive.
Worries over fast price growth would augment the central Bank of Korea's (BOK) case for sharp rate hikes down the road, which would increase the cost of borrowing for households and businesses and eventually dampen consumption and investment, which have been showing signs of a rebound from the fallout of the pandemic.
The BOK has raised its policy rate seven times by a combined 2 percentage points since August last year as part of efforts to fight inflation. It raised the rate by an unprecedented "big step" of 0.5 percentage point in July, followed by a 0.25 percentage point increase last month.
BOK Chair Rhee Chang-yong said in July he is not likely to push for such a sharp rate hike and vowed to seek "piecemeal" increases unless there is a big shock, apparently referring to quarter percentage-point raises.
The top central banker, however, appears to have changed his stance, apparently affected by the won's sharp slide.
"The preconditions for 0.25 percentage-point hikes have changed much," Rhee told reporters Thursday. "It is the BOK's big responsibility to gauge the impact of the currency exchange rate on prices and what policy it has to take to deal with it."
Market watchers say the BOK could raise the interest rate twice in the remaining two meeting until the end of this year.
Some even speculate the central bank will hike the rate by 50 basis points at a meeting slated for Oct. 14 due to worries over possible capital outflows prompted by a rate reversal that could prompt investors to leave for the U.S. in pursuit of higher returns.
"We believe that the case for the BOK's bigger step has risen this week, as uncertainty about the U.S. monetary policy path decreased in a hawkish direction," Park Seok-gil, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, said in an emailed release.
"We now expect that the BOK will hike the policy rate by 50 basis points at its October meeting, preventing an 'excessively wide' policy interest rate differential with the U.S.," he added.
Further rate hikes are feared to deepen worries that they could slow down the economic growth too much at a time when it has already been faced with heightened uncertainty amid worries that monetary tightening in major markets would result in a fall in demand in such countries as the U.S. and China.
A weak currency usually makes a country's exports cheaper, making its price competitiveness sharper. But the won's recent devaluation came along with sharp declines in other major currencies of its competitors as the dollar maintained its upward move.
The gloomy outlooks have materialized in recent trade data.
Last month, South Korea's exports shrank 6.6 percent on-year, with overseas shipments of semiconductors, one of its mainstay export items, falling for the first time in more than two years.
With import bills of energy on the rise, the country posted about US$9.5 billion in trade deficit last month, the largest shortfalls since relevant data began to be compiled.
Adding to the woes, the BOK earlier said there is a possibility that the country's current account balance would also turn into a deficit in August, raising concerns over rare "twin shortfalls" for the export-driven economy.
The shortfalls mean fewer dollars in the market and more downward pressure on the won's value per dollar.
The government has tried to assuage concerns, saying the country's external soundness has not been hurt significantly but vowed to closely monitor the supply and demand of dollars in the market.
"By mobilizing all possible means, the government will sternly deal with (the herd behavior) in a decisive and swift manner, when needed," Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho told reporters after a meeting with the chief of the central bank and top financial regulators Thursday.
Market watchers, however, said the government has to brace for more devaluation of the won against the dollar, as the Fed is expected to continue monetary tightening, and cause investors to become averse to risks and pull back their money from emerging markets.
"There is a high possibility that the Fed will maintain its hawkish stance for a while," an analyst at Hana Bank said. "We will have to leave the possibility open that the won-dollar exchange rate could rise to as high as the 1,430-1,450 range."

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — On Thursday (Sept. 22), the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that eased regulations for the "3+4" quarantine scheme will go into effect on Sept. 29, while quarantine will be discontinued in favor of the "0+7" self-health monitoring plan from Oct. 13.
During a press conference on Thursday afternoon, CECC head Victor Wang (王必勝) confirmed earlier statements by Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) that the border will be opened in two stages. The first phase, which starts on Sept. 29 will expand visa-free entry, raise the passenger quota, introduce the "one person per room" rule, and end saliva tests upon arrival.
The second phase, which is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 13, will see the weekly arriving passenger quota raised to 150,000, the "0 +7" plan introduced, the opening of borders to travelers from countries not granted visa-free treatment, and the end of the tour group ban. CECC spokesperson Chuang Jen-Hsiang (莊人祥) then elaborated on the details of the "3+4" and "0+7" COVID prevention plans for new arrivals.
'3+4' plan
Under the current "3+4" quarantine scheme, the principle of "one person per household" must be followed during the quarantine phase, while they can switch to "one person per room" during the four days of self-health monitoring. From Sept. 29, arriving passengers undergoing the "3+4" quarantine formula will be able to spend the entire seven-day period in a residence with others as long as they can follow the "one person per room" principle.
"One person per room" stipulates that a residence where a quarantined traveler is staying must provide a bedroom and bathroom that is separated from rooms and bathrooms used by other occupants of the household. Travelers cannot stay at a regular hotel during this period, but instead should stay either in a residence that fits the "one person per room" rule or at a specially designated epidemic prevention hotel.
Presently, inbound passengers must undergo a saliva PCR test upon arrival in Taiwan. Starting next week, arriving passengers will no longer be required to take a saliva test. Instead, they will be given four rapid antigen test kits.
The rapid test kits will be given to all arriving passengers aged two and over. Children under the age of two are not required to undergo testing, unless they experience symptoms, in which case their guardians should seek medical attention.
On the day of arrival (Day 0) or the next day (Day 1), arriving passengers are advised to take a rapid antigen test and report the result to an epidemic prevention staff member via phone. On Day 3, the CECC recommends that inbound passengers take another rapid antigen test and report to officials if the result is positive.
For Days 4 through 7, if a traveler feels symptoms of the virus, they should take a rapid antigen test. If a person needs to venture out during this period, they must take a rapid antigen test and receive a negative result within 48 hours prior to leaving their accommodation.
'0+7' plan
The CECC will monitor the situation with the local outbreak for one week after Sept. 29 and if the situation does not change significantly, the "0+7" scheme is tentatively scheduled to go into effect on Oct. 13. Under the "0+7" plan, inbound passengers will no longer need to undergo quarantine and will instead be instructed to begin seven days of self-health monitoring.
The rapid test kits will be given to all arriving passengers aged two and over. On the day of arrival (Day 0) or the next day (Day 1), passengers are advised to take a rapid antigen test.
No further testing is required unless the traveler experiences suspected COVID symptoms. If a person needs to venture out during this period, they must take a rapid antigen test and receive a negative result within 48 hours prior to leaving their accommodation.
A number of epidemic prevention measures will be discontinued during this phase including the sending of home quarantine notices, tracking mechanisms, electronic monitoring measures, home quarantine health insurance registration, and local government home quarantine care services.
Inbound passengers who are asymptomatic can take all forms of public transportation. If they are symptomatic, they are advised to take a quarantine taxi or have their friends or relatives pick them up.
Although arriving passengers will no longer be required to stay in epidemic prevention hotels, the CECC is working to ensure that some remain in operation to accommodate inbound passengers who test positive for COVID.
During the seven days of self-health monitoring, travelers are advised to stay in a residence that can adhere to the principle of "one person per room." It is also recommended that they avoid contact with people with serious medical conditions, who are considered at high risk of contracting COVID.
If a person experiences symptoms, they are advised to rest at home. People undergoing self-health monitoring are also prohibited from visiting patients in the hospital and long-term care centers and are admonished to avoid non-urgent medical treatment or examinations.
When going to work or school during this period, people are to wear a mask at all times and maintain proper social distancing. However, they are allowed to take off their mask when eating and drinking in public and in restaurants, but the mask must be immediately worn again after finishing a meal.
During the self-health monitoring period, arriving passengers are not to dine with large groups or participate in large gatherings. If a person tests positive for COVID, they should seek medical attention immediately.
If they are confirmed by medical professionals to have COVID, they can stay in an epidemic prevention hotel or their original self-health monitoring residence and commence self-care. In the event a person requires transportation to a hospital, they can drive a car, ride a scooter, walk, be transported by their friends or relatives, or contact the local health department for assistance.
When seeking medical attention, symptomatic people should wear a mask at all times and avoid public transportation.

,(Bloomberg) -- The Air Force’s latest schedule for Boeing Co.’s troubled KC-46 tanker adds as much as 11 months to start installing an improved version of its flawed camera-based refueling system, according to the service.
The added time could push completion of the improvements into fiscal 2026. “The magnitude of delay is not known, but will be less than a year,” Captain Josh Benedetti, an Air Force spokesman, said in a statement. He said a new schedule would be set by Sept. 30 after a recent “critical design review” of Boeing’s progress.
Boeing has agreed to greatly improve its Remote Vision System, 3D cameras that feed a console where an airman guides a refueling boom during the midair minuet to connect with another plane. The Air Force discovered in 2017 that shadows or the sun’s glare sometimes can hamper the system’s view, resulting in occasional scraping of planes being refueled or difficulty in performing the operation.
Boeing will continue to be responsible for the costs of fixing the camera system unless the Air Force orders changes to the design, Benedetti said. He added that possible delays stem from a combination of hardware development and the process for certifying airworthiness.
The most recent review disclosed that “to make the design effective is going to take a little longer than we expected,” Air Force Assistant Secretary for Acquisition Andrew Hunter told reporters Tuesday at a conference. There’s “no answer yet exactly on how long it’s going to be,” he said of the delay.
“In terms of cost, I’m not expecting anything shocking,” Hunter said.
The KC-46 program has been plagued with problems since Boeing won the contract for the tanker in February 2011, resulting in billions of dollars in accounting charges for the company. Other issues have included repeated problems with debris, a stiff refueling boom, fuel system leaks, issues with the flight management system and cracks in the air refueling drain tube.
Deborah VanNierop, a spokeswoman for Arlington, Virginia-based Boeing, said the company had no comment on the latest developments.
In a show of confidence, the Air Mobility Command declared last week that the tanker is now cleared to refuel 97% of the Air Force and Navy inventory, including all-stealth jets like the B-2 bomber and F-35 jet and non-stealth aircraft, except the A-10 close air support jet.
“I have 100% confidence in the KC-46’s” capability, General Mike Minihan, the command’s chief, told reporters Monday at the annual Air Force Association Air, Space & Cyber conference. “The people that fly, fix and support it, love it,” he said. “The people that refuel off it, love it.”
But he acknowledged the camera system still has to be fixed. “There’s lots of more work to do,” he said, and “I’m going to focus on the integration of all the fixes now.”

Sterling pulls off 37-year low as a slew of central banks hike rates
By Joice Alves
LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Sterling rose, after slipping to a fresh 37-year low, against a weakening U.S. dollar on Thursday ahead of a Bank of England meeting and after a slew of central banks' rate hikes.
Traders were awaiting for an expected BoE interest rate hike at 1100 GMT with money markets pricing in at least a 50-basis point increase by the BoE in the face of red-hot inflation that is just off a 40-year high.
This summer, rising interest rates in Britain have provided little support to sterling amid a gloomy outlook for Britain's economy and a cost of living crisis.
"There is little to no confidence that the BoE can pull something out of the bag that will support the pound today," said Jane Foley, head of FX strategy at Rabobank in London.
"Since May it has been clear that BoE rate hikes are not having much of an impact in halting downside pressure on sterling with UK fundamentals undermined by slow growth, a huge current account deficit and recently by concerns over the fiscal outlook," she added.
Sterling was up 0.5% at $1.13255 against the weakening dollar at 0900 GMT. Against the euro, it was flat at 87.24 pence.
The pound has softened 16% against the dollar this year, slipping to a fresh 37-year low in early London trading.
It trimmed some of those losses as the dollar lost some grounds after Norway's and the Swiss central banks raised interest rate, while Japan intervened in currency market to buy yen for the first time since 1998.
That came after the Fed hiked interest rates on Wednesday by three-quarters of a percentage point for a third straight time and signaled that borrowing costs would keep rising this year.
Versus the Swiss franc, sterling surged 1.25% to 1.1019 after the Swiss National Bank raised its policy interest rate by 0.75 percentage point on Thursday.
"The sell off in the Swiss franc in the wake of the SNB´s 75 bp rate hike this morning has highlighted the difficulties that central banks (other than the Fed) are having in stabilising their currencies," Foley added.

Ukrainian-born classical singer, 42, loses her job after being hounded by possessive ex-boyfriend who was furious that she moved her mother into their home
- Oleksandra Antonova, 42, was stalked by her possessive ex-boyfriend
- Robert Pugh, 37, who lives with his parents, would wait for hours at her work
- Miss Antonova lost her singing lecturing job at Tameside College due to anxiety
- Pugh moved into a flat she owned and was furious she let her mother move in
- A five-year restraining order was imposed at Minshull Street Crown Court
A classical music singer lost her lecturing job after she was hounded by a possessive ex-boyfriend who was furious that she moved her mother into their home.
Oleksandra Antonova, 42, was left living in fear after 37-year-old Robert Pugh bombarded her with phone calls, arrived uninvited at her home with flowers and would show up at her work and wait for hours to see her.
The Ukrainian-born choir mistress, from Denton, Greater Manchester, said she later lost her job at Tameside College, where she worked as a music teacher, due to anxiety caused by the harassment.
Pugh 'pestered' Miss Antonova to let him move into a flat she had bought and got angry when she then moved her Ukrainian mother in, saying 'she doesn't even speak English'.
In a phone call, Pugh was quoted saying 'Don't think I can't get to you, I can get to you anywhere', to which Miss Antonova replied 'please stop chasing me'.
Oleksandra Antonova, 42, was left living in fear after 37-year-old Robert Pugh bombarded her with phone calls, arrived uninvited at her home with flowers, would turn up at her workplace just to see her
Her possessive ex-boyfriend Pugh (pictured left) warned her: 'Don't think I can't get to you, I can get to you anywhere'
The mother of one, who is a concert pianist, told police: 'Since this person appeared in my life I have experienced anxiety and depression. I feel very insecure in my own home and I just want to continue my normal life without him. My personality is not the same as before.'
At Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester Pugh who lives with his parents in Prescot, near Liverpool admitted harassment and was banned from contacting Miss Antonova for five years under the terms of a restraining order.
The court heard the pair had met around Christmas 2020 and briefly lived together.
Tom Sherrington prosecuting said: 'Initially the relationship got on well and there was genuine affection there. However the relationship changed in May 2021 when the defendant got angry after Oleksandra had friends over without telling him.
'She bought a property in Denton in July 2021 and after some pestering she reluctantly allowed Pugh to move in with her. But a few months later Oleksandra invited her older Ukrainian mother to live in the house with them.
The mother of one, who is a concert pianist, told police: 'Since this person appeared in my life I have experienced anxiety and depression'
'The defendant did not like this and complained that 'she doesn't even speak English'. He also claimed that the house was more his than her mothers.
'The first instance of a police callout came on January 1 when the defendant became annoyed that Oleksandra and her mother wanted to eat Ukrainian food in the house and that he felt excluded.
'This started an argument between the two which transpired with Pugh picking up a gin bottle and throwing it at Oleksandra. She locked herself in the bathroom but he opened the lock with and coin and her mother had to come between the two and break it up.
'After this they took time apart but Pugh kept intermittently turning up at the house with flowers begging for her to take him back.
'One day, in an attempt to stop her leaving her house, Pugh jumped into her car and threw coffee over her. He then got in his car and drove up to her car, blocking her exit from the driveway.
Tom Sherrington prosecuting said: 'The first instance of a police callout came on January 1 when the defendant became annoyed that Oleksandra and her mother wanted to eat Ukrainian food in the house and that he felt excluded'
'When they were both at home together she got in the habit of locking herself in the bathroom to stay away from him.'
Mr Sherrington added: 'The defendant also frequently turned up to the college in which she worked as a classical music teacher. Witnesses say that he waited there for hours to see her. One time she recorded 38 missed calls and countless messages from him. She then blocked his number.
'In one call the defendant was quoted as saying 'Don't think I can't get to you, I can get to you anywhere'. She said 'please stop chasing me'
'In her victim personal statement Oleksandra said she left all her other family in Ukraine and refused to tell her family and friends about the relationship. She said he kept insisting throughout the relationship that she could trust him but she kept having to take days of work to cope with her situation and she was eventually diagnosed with anxiety.
Mr Sherrington added: 'The defendant also frequently turned up to the college in which she worked as a classical music teacher'
'He kept gas lighting her when she got anxious and said she should keep taking her pills. He demanded attention constantly. She lost her job as a result of the anxiety she felt and the investigation by the police into her relationship.'
In mitigation defence counsel Martin Sharpe said character references referred to Pugh as 'shy, quiet and polite.'
He added: 'We are dealing with a 37 year old 'boy' man whose level of emotional understanding is limited. He did intend for his conduct to cause the victim some distress and he recognises that. A probation report said he has difficulty grasping emotional concepts.'
Pugh was also sentenced to five months jail suspended for 18 months and was ordered to complete a 'Building Better Relationships' rehabilitation programme. He shook his head throughout the sentence, refusing to acknowledge the facts.

The judge Miss Recorder Abigail Hudson told him: 'I am bound to say I am concerned by your behaviour, by what you did. It's clear to me you do not understand when your behaviour spills over into overbearing. It's clear she doesn't want you there and it seems to me that this is a young man that needs to grow up.'
According to her LinkedIn page Miss Antonova, who trained at Kharkiv National University of Arts, the leading music and drama institution of higher education in Ukraine, attained the maximum grade eight level in piano and was a choral conductor and choirmaster.
After moving to the UK she was a singer in the Manchester chamber choir before joining the staff of Tameside college in 2016 as a singing lecturer. She is also principal of a local drama school.

Harry Styles was given a banner at the end of his sold-out, 15-night run at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night (September 21).
The soloist became the third musician to have a banner raised at the venue – a surprise gift that was presented by US TV host Gayle King.
To celebrate the end of his residency, the banner was raised to the rafters. According to Rolling Stone Styles wept openly, telling the crowd: “Any time that you come to Madison Square Garden and you see that, remember it’s because of you. That is ours.”
He added: “I’m gonna come back when everyone is gone, and just sit and look at that for a while.”
𝗛I𝗦TORY MADE.
The newest banner was raised to the rafters tonight in celebration of @Harry_Styles’ 15 consecutive nights of “Love on Tour” at the Garden! pic.twitter.com/MhxgjDl31q

Styles is now the third music artist to have a banner hanging in the Garden rafters. Billy Joel has two of them – one for his 129 shows there and another for the 83 shows of his long-running monthly residency. Phish, meanwhile, received their banner in 2017 after their record-setting Baker’s Dozen stay where they didn’t repeat a song for 13 sold-out nights in a row.
At last night’s closing concert Styles brought out his support act, Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes, to perform ‘Matilda’ with him. Hynes played cello. “In my opinion he is one of the most important musicians, artists, of our generation,” Styles told fans.
Elsewhere, Styles surprised the audience with ‘Ever Since New York’, which he hasn’t performed live in four years.
The former One Direction bandmember has continued to break records on the Billboard chart this month, with ‘As It Was’ hitting Number One for a 14th week.
The ‘Harry’s House’ lead single, which was released in April, is currently in the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in the US.
In turn, it ties as the fourth longest reign in the Billboard Hot 100’s 65-year history alongside hits including ‘Uptown Funk!’ (by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars), ‘I Gotta Feeling’ (Black Eyed Peas) and ‘I Will Always Love You’ (Whitney Houston), all of which spent 14 weeks in the top position (via Billboard).

That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

A "sickening" paedophile put his victim through a trial before stating how much he enjoyed abusing her.
Anthony Leonard, from Tranmere, began abusing the girl in 1986 for a number of years when she was a small child. In 2019 the victim came forward to tell the police what had happened to her.
The 77-year-old was arrested and charged with a total of 25 counts of indecent assault and pleaded guilty to nine of the offences, but denied the rest. On 13 September, a jury at Liverpool Crown Court found him guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment.

In a Victim Personal Statement, the victim said: “It feels like he almost primed me from an age where I didn't know any different from this and what a normal life should be. The ripple effects of (his) actions affected me then and still haunt me now.
"The impact of all of the above, there are no words for. He stole my innocence and had a massive part in creating a little being that was fearful of telling the truth or asking for help. He turned me into a lonely empty shell emotionally for so many years, which still affects me to this day.”
Senior Crown Prosecutor Sarah Egan, a specialist lawyer in CPS Mersey Cheshire’s Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO) unit said: "Anthony Leonard repeatedly sexually abused this victim when she was a very young child. The comments he made during the criminal proceedings about how much he enjoyed himself during the sexual abuse are truly sickening.
"He has spent over thirty years living a lie and maintaining an image of a respectable life, whilst the victim has had to endure, and deal with, the consequences of the sexual abuse she has suffered. There is absolutely no doubt that Leonard’s actions have caused this victim grave harm. He has shown no remorse at all for what he has done.
"The Crown Prosecution Service would like to thank the victim and her family, for the courage and strength they have shown throughout the proceedings, as well as the parties involved who have helped us to bring a successful prosecution. We hope that this allows the victim to move forwards with her life."

The white woman who called 911 and falsely accused a Black bird watcher of threatening her in New York City's Central Park in a 2020 incident that went viral has lost a lawsuit accusing her former employer of illegally firing her and making her out to be a racist.
U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams on Wednesday rejected Amy Cooper's claims her former employer, investment management company, Franklin Templeton, defamed her when it repeatedly said the firm did not tolerate racism.
Abrams further said Cooper had failed to prove that she was fired due to her race or gender and without the kind of investigation that had once been conducted on allegations of another employee's misconduct.
Cooper lost her job after a video was shared on social media showing her calling 911 on birdwatcher Christian Cooper and telling police that an "African American man" had threatened her life and the life of her dog.
Christian Cooper, who has no relation to Amy Cooper, told NBC News at the time that he asked her to put her dog back on a leash, which is the policy for the Ramble area of Central Park. Amy Cooper later told NBC New York that she had overreacted and was sorry for the incident.
The video of the May 25, 2020 incident was seen by millions on the internet within hours of being posted, however, and sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for Amy Cooper to be held to account over her actions as they dubbed her the "Central Park Karen." The video was also taken the same day a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, prompting global protests about racial injustice and police brutality.
The following day, Franklin Templeton tweeted out that it had terminated Amy Cooper’s employment.
In her lawsuit, Amy Cooper had argued that the company's statements suggested Franklin Templeton had access to undisclosed facts justifying their position that were not clear from the viral video of the incident.
However, Abrams wrote that "nothing about Defendants’ May 26 Statement suggested that the opinions contained therein rested on facts undisclosed to the audience."
“The contents of the viral video, as well as the dialogue surrounding it both in the media and on social media, were already matters of public knowledge,” the judge said, rendering the defendants’ statements “inactionable as pure opinion."
Lawyers for Amy Cooper did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News. Franklin Templeton also did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment.
The company, which is part of San Mateo, California-based Franklin Resources Inc., told Reuters it had “responded appropriately” to the incident and was pleased with the case's outcome.
When Cooper first filed the complaint against Franklin Templeton in May 2021, exactly a year after the incident took place, the company branded her claims "baseless" and said it would defend itself.
Manhattan prosecutors charged Amy Cooper in July 2020 with filing a false police report, which is a misdemeanor, but the charge was dropped months later after Cooper completed therapy.

Time to bin the bratwurst? Men who eat meat should be BANNED from having sex to help save the planet, German animal rights group claims
- German branch of Peta claims men who eat meat should be banned from sex
- It says men contribute significantly more to the climate crisis than women
- Women should therefore 'go on sex strike to save the world'
- Peta also claims eating meat is a symptom of 'toxic masculinity'
All men who eat meat should be banned from having sex, according to an animal rights group which claims that scoffing sausages is a symptom of 'toxic masculinity'.
The German branch of animal rights group Peta claims that men contribute significantly more to the climate crisis than women, primarily through their meat consumption.
It cites research published in the scientific journal PLOS One last year, which found that men emit 41 per cent more greenhouse gases than the female population with their eating habits.
It suggests that women should 'go on sex strike to save the world', and even proposes preventing carnivorous men from having children.

Peta Germany suggests that women should 'go on sex strike to save the world', and even proposes preventing carnivorous men from having children
'Who doesn't know them, the suburban fathers handling beer bottles and barbecue tongs, who sizzle 70-cent sausages on their €700 grill,' said Daniel Cox, campaigns team leader for Peta Germany.
'The zucchini provided by the visitor is viewed with suspicion and tolerated only reluctantly.
'The fact that Germany's "grill masters" believe they have to prove their masculinity to themselves and their peers by consuming meat is not only to the detriment of the animals.
'Now there's scientific evidence that toxic masculinity also harms the climate.'
The organisation referred to comments by French Green Party politician Sandrine Rousseau, who ignited controversy last month by branding the outdoor grill a 'symbol of masculinity'.
'If you want to resolve the climate crisis, you have to reduce meat consumption, and that’s not going to happen so long as masculinity is constructed around meat,' the self-declared 'eco-feminist' said.
As well as the ban on sex and reproduction, Cox also suggests a hefty meat tax of 41 per cent for men.
'After all, every child not born saves 58.6 tons of CO2-equivalent per year,' he said.
'For all fathers who still grill meat and still want children with a future worth living on a livable planet, we recommend changing their lifestyle.'
The call for a sex ban on carnivorous males has caused outrage in Germany, which is famous for its love of bratwurst and schnitzel.
Best-selling tabloid newspaper Bild printed the story on its front page, branding it a 'crazy suggestion'.
Meanwhile, Alois Rainer, an MP from Germany's Christian Social Union party, who is a master butcher, said the idea was 'total nonsense'.
As well as the ban on sex and reproduction, Cox also suggests a hefty meat tax of 41 per cent for men.
In the UK, Conservative MP Alicia Kearns said it was a 'sexist assumption' to think men eat meat and women don't, and that women somehow enjoy sex less than men so can use it as a tool.
'It just feeds in to all the worst narratives of the '90s that women use sex, it's not something they enjoy, that they should use it as a tool against men,' she said on LBC's Cross Question.
'It's also incredibly focused on straight relationships.'
However, Dr Carys Bennett, corporate projects manager at Peta UK, told LBC it was intended to be 'a tongue in cheek suggestion'.
'It's a bit of hyperbole ... it's designed to get men to sit up and take note,' she said.
'We don't really care about your sex life… what we do care about is the planet and the animals we share it with.'
Farming accounts for more than 10 per cent of UK greenhouse gas emissions, making it critical to climate change.
A study by researchers at Stanford University and Berkeley, California, earlier this years found that a total elimination of meat production around the world in 15 years could slash global carbon emissions by 68 per cent.

Iran curbs internet access as protests claim 11 lives
A picture obtained by AFP outside Iran shows demonstrators on the streets of Tehran as protests over the death of young woman in morality police custody spread to cities nationwide
Iran restricted internet access Thursday after days of protests and unrest that have claimed at least 11 lives, following the death of a young woman in the custody of the morality police.
Public anger has flared in the Islamic republic over the death last week of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained for allegedly wearing a hijab headscarf in an "improper" way.
Activists said the woman, whose Kurdish first name is Jhina, had suffered a fatal blow to the head, a claim denied by officials, who have announced an investigation.
During six straight nights of protests, women demonstrators have defiantly taken off their headscarves and burned them in bonfires or symbolically cut their hair before cheering crowds, video footage spread on social media has shown.
"No to the headscarf ... yes to freedom and equality!" protesters in Tehran were heard chanting in a rally that has been echoed by solidarity protests abroad.
Iranian women interviewed by AFP on the streets of Tehran said they were now more careful about their dress to avoid run-ins with the morality police.

"I'm frightened," said Nazanin, a 23-year-old nurse, who asked to be identified by her first name only for safety reasons. "They shouldn't confront people at all" or interfere with how women dress, she added.
There has been growing international alarm at the Iranian crackdown on the protests, including from US President Joe Biden in an address to the United Nations.
"Today we stand with the brave citizens and the brave women of Iran who right now are demonstrating to secure their basic rights," Biden told the General Assembly on Wednesday.
- 'Women, life, freedom' -
He was speaking shortly after world leaders gathered in New York heard a defiant speech from Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi tells the UN General Assembly his country is the victim of a "double standard", pointing to alleged Canadian abuses against indigenous women and Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories
He pointed to the deaths of indigenous women in Canada as well as Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories and the Islamic State group's "savagery" against women from religious minority groups.
"So long as we have this double standard, where attention is solely focused on one side and not all equally, we will not have true justice and fairness," Raisi said.
Iranian state media reported that by Wednesday street rallies had spread to 15 cities, with police using tear gas and making arrests to disperse crowds of up to 1,000 people.
In southern Iran, video footage purportedly from Wednesday showed demonstrators setting fire to a gigantic picture on the side of a building of general Qassem Soleimani, the revered Revolutionary Guards commander killed in a 2020 US drone strike in Iraq.

Demonstrators hurled stones at security forces, set fire to police vehicles and garbage bins, and chanted anti-government slogans, the official IRNA news agency said.
"Death to the dictator" and "Woman, life, freedom," protesters could be heard shouting in video footage that spread beyond Iran, despite online restrictions first reported by internet access monitor Netblocks.
Iran moved to further block access to Instagram and WhatsApp on Thursday.
"In accordance with a decision by officials, it has no longer been possible to access Instagram in Iran since yesterday (Wednesday) evening and access to WhatsApp is also disrupted," the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

The two apps were the most widely used in Iran after the blocking of other platforms in recent years, including Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, YouTube and Tiktok.
UN human rights experts condemned both the "use of physical violence against women" and the "state-mandated internet disruptions".
"Disruptions to the internet are usually part of a larger effort to stifle... free expression... and to curtail ongoing protests," they said in a statement.
- 'Shock' to the regime -
On Thursday, Iranian media said three militiamen "mobilised to deal with rioters" were stabbed or shot dead in northwestern Tabriz, central Qazvin and northeastern Mashhad.

A fourth member of the security forces died in the southern city of Shiraz, the reports said, adding that a protester was stabbed to death in Qazvin, adding to six protester deaths already announced by officials.
But there were fears the death toll could rise, as Norway-based Kurdish rights group Hengaw on Wednesday also reported the deaths of two protesters, aged 16 and 23, in West Azerbaijan province.
The Iranian authorities have denied any involvement in the deaths of protesters.
Amnesty International said it has recorded the deaths of eight people -- six men, one woman and a child -- with four of them shot by security forces at close range with metal pellets.
The protests are among the most serious in Iran since November 2019 unrest over fuel price rises.
The wave of unrest over Amini's death "is a very significant shock, it is a societal crisis," said Iran expert David Rigoulet-Roze of the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs.

Police lay more charges against firewood fraud suspect
Ontario Provincial Police have laid a dozen more charges against an eastern Ontario man accused of taking money for firewood and never delivering after more complainants came forward.
OPP had previously warned the public about a potential fraud involving online ads on platforms like Facebook offering firewood for sale.
Police allege the accused would request a deposit by e-transfer, but never deliver the firewood and would not respond or be unreachable by buyers.
Last month, police arrested Cory Baptiste, 47, of North Algona Wilberforce and charged him with 11 counts of fraud under $5,000 and 11 counts of obtaining by false pretence.
On Thursday, police said they have laid six more fraud charges, five more of obtaining by false pretence and one of mail theft.
The accused remains in custody. Police say more victims have come forward and they are still investigating.

Elon Musk says SpaceX's Starship rocket could be ready to launch on its first orbital spaceflight as soon as NEXT MONTH
- SpaceX's giant Starship rocket could be ready to launch into space next month
- When asked when it could launch, Elon Musk tweeted: 'late next month maybe'
- Starship's orbital test flight has been plagued by a series of delays so far this year
- And Musk did caution in his tweet that blast off in November 'seems highly likely'
It may have been billed as the world's most powerful launch vehicle, but SpaceX's highly-anticipated Starship rocket is yet to make it into orbit.
Plagued by a series of delays, blast-off has felt just a few months away since the beginning of the year, only for these hopes to be dashed every time.
Now, Elon Musk believes his $216 million (£189 million) ultra-super-heavy rocket could finally launch to space next month, although the famously optimistic billionaire also cautioned that November 'seems highly likely', if October isn't a goer.
Replying to a question on Twitter about when the first orbital flight of Starship might finally happen, he wrote: 'Late next month maybe, but November seems highly likely.
'We will have two boosters & ships ready for orbital flight by then, with full stack production at roughly one every two months.'
SpaceX originally planned to launch Starship into orbit in January 2022, but was forced to delay following an environmental assessment of the Boca Chica launch site in Texas.
Elon Musk believes his Starship rocket could finally launch to space next month, although the famously optimistic billionaire also cautioned that November 'seems highly likely' if not
Replying to a question on Twitter about when the first orbital flight of Starship might finally happen, he wrote: 'Late next month maybe, but November seems highly likely'
Musk estimates that each Starship launch will cost about $10 million once fully operational, which is considerably less than the $1 billion per launch cost of the new NASA megarocket
A new date of May this year was predicted, but this again slipped.
The company was eventually given the green light by the Federal Aviation Administration in June to launch its Starship rocket, but so far the orbital flight has yet to materialise.
The last time the vehicle left the ground was when a Starship prototype labelled SN15 completed a high-altitude flight within Earth's atmosphere and landed without exploding on May 5, 2021.
Since then, SpaceX has been preparing for the first orbital demonstration flight of Starship, which will see the vehicle blast off atop a Super Heavy Booster for the first time.
Earlier this week the huge first-stage booster was fired up on the test stand for the first time with seven engines blasting.
However, that is less than a quarter of engines that will make up a fully-loaded Super Heavy, which is designed to launch with 33 engines in total.
As well as completing testing, SpaceX will need a launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration before it can blast off.
Providing this is granted, Musk is hoping to do a full 'wet dress rehearsal' of the launch and test-fire a 33-engine Super Heavy for the first time in the coming weeks.
NASA has chosen SpaceX to build a lander, based on the Starship craft, that will return humans to the moon this decade as part of the Artemis programme.
This will see the next man and the first woman land on the lunar surface – as well as the first person of colour – as early as 2025.
Starship's first orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, which Musk says are 'much more capable and reliable' than older models, providing 230 tonnes of thrust at sea level.
Starship and the Super Heavy rocket are collectively referred to as Starship, and 'represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the moon, Mars and beyond,' according to SpaceX.
'Starship will be the world's most powerful launch vehicle ever developed, with the ability to carry in excess of 100 metric tonnes to Earth orbit,' it added.
To date, the Starship series of rockets has seen nine test flights — some resulting in successful short-distance hops, while others led to explosions or crash landings.

The static fire test is crucial to ensure the upper stage is ready for an orbital launch. SpaceX has yet to provide a date for the mission
SpaceX's Starship Serial Number 24 (SN24) started an intense grass fire after it performed an eight-second static fire test in Texas earlier this month
The most recent experimental launch involved the Starship SN15 prototype and took place in May 2021.
The craft completed a 33,000 feet-high altitude flight test into low-lying clouds, complete with successful ascent, engine cut-offs, flip manoeuvre, flap control and soft touchdown.
Starship is designed to be fully reusable, with both Super Heavy and Starship able to land back on the pad, ready to be used in a future launch.
Musk estimates that each Starship launch will cost about $10 million (£8.8 million) once fully operational, which is considerably less than the $1 billion (£888 million) per launch cost of the new NASA megarocket, SLS.
While Starship is yet to reach orbit, SpaceX already has paying customers for missions to the moon on board the rocket.
'In 2023, Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa and the crew of dearMoon will become the first civilian passengers on a lunar Starship mission, featuring a fly-by of the moon during their week-long journey,' SpaceX explained.
'This flight is an important step toward enabling access for people who dream of travelling to space.'

EXCLUSIVE: 'You can hit him over the head with a baseball bat and it will bounce off': David Haye praises Joe Joyce ability to take a punch but says he must avoid his 'walking through a brick wall' style to succeed against Joseph Parker
- David Haye heaped praise on Joe Joyce's ability to take a punch during a fight
- He said you could hit Joyce with a baseball bat and it would bounce off him
- Joyce will face Parker in a highly-anticipated heavyweight clash on Saturday
- The winner of the clash in Manchester will take a step closer to the world title
- Haye has said that Joyce must avoid using his 'risky strategy' against Parker
David Haye has heaped praise on Joe Joyce's resilience but says the British boxer must avoid using his 'risky strategy' during Saturday's clash with Joseph Parker.
Joyce will face Parker in a highly-anticipated heavyweight clash on Saturday evening. The winner will take one step closer to a world title shot in 2023.
Haye says Joyce is capable of winning the fight but claims he must avoid using his 'brick wall' boxing style to be in with a chance of knocking Parker out.
David Haye (above) has said he is impressed with how well Joe Joyce can take a punch
Joyce will face Parker in a highly-anticipated heavyweight clash on Saturday evening
Haye says Joyce is an expert at taking punches but insists it's a 'risky strategy' to use against Parker - who has never been knocked out.
When asked about each fighter's tactics ahead of their heavyweight clash in Manchester, Haye told Sportsmail that Parker would look to 'box at range' and 'jab' while moving laterally.
Haye also said Joyce would deploy his traditional 'brick wall' strategy - claiming the British boxer was so resilient he could be 'hit over the head with a baseball and it would just bounce off him'.
Speaking exclusively to Sportsmail, Haye said: 'If Parker comes in significantly lighter than usual it will signify he is looking to box at range.
If Joyce wins the fight in Manchester, he will take one step closer to a world title shot in 2023
However, Haye says Joyce must avoid his 'walking through a brick wall' boxing style to succeed
'That he is looking to move laterally and move his head. He will then look to jab to the body and jab to the head. He's got a very lovely jab Parker.
'The only time I have seen Joyce hurt in the ring was when he fought Bryant Jennings at the O2 arena.
'He took a left hook to the body in the first couple of rounds and it took the wind out of him. It's the first time I have seen any physical signs of discomfort after getting punched.
'Usually you can hit him over the head with a baseball bat and it will just bounce off. But in regards to being hurt, the only time I saw him hurt was during that fight - which he won.
Haye has said the only time he has seen Joyce look hurt was against Bryant Jennings
Joyce is looking to stop Parker on Saturday but the New Zealander has never been knocked out
'So, if he wants to win this fight... just walking through a brick wall is a very dangerous tactic but maybe he is willing to do that.
'It's worked up until now, so maybe it will work here. But, it's a very risky strategy. Nonetheless, those watching will get their value for money.'
When asked what he meant by value for money, Haye said: 'You can expect instant fireworks. You can expect two fighters that are extremely confident.
'Parker is the much more experienced fighter of the two. He is a guy who is a former heavyweight champion of the world. He is a fighter who lost on points to Anthony Joshua and gave a very good account of himself.
Haye (left) said that he 'never would have lost' if he had a 'granite chin' like Joyce's
Haye announced his retirement from boxing after back-to-back defeats by Tony Bellew
'His defeat was against Dillian Whyte. He was getting heavily beaten but he almost turned it around.
'He hit him with an upper cut and really hurt him. If there was a 13th round you never know what would have happened.
'He's shown in his two solitary losses, they weren't white washes. He didn't get absolutely obliterated. He didn't get outclasses. He didn't get knocked out.'
As a result, Haye says Joyce needs to provide 'some special' to defeat Parker as his 'amazing genetics' will not carry him through this fight.
He told Sportsmail: 'Joyce is going to need to do something different in this fight.
'In his last couple of fights he was being hit with punches that he shouldn't have been hit with at World level... against guys that aren't World level class.
'He needs to do something special. He needs to move that head. He has amazing genetics, he has got a granite chin and that is really helpful. I wish I had a chin like he has, I never would have lost believe me.
'He can do a standing backflip. He has very good reflexes. If he can find a way to connect his attributes with his style and ideally not get hit slap bang on the chin, he could be a force to be reckoned with.
'But, this is going to going to be a massive test for him. Is his style of walking through a brick wall going to work for him? It's unknown as of yet but we are going to find out on Saturday. '
BT Sport Box Office will show Joe Joyce v Joseph Parker exclusively live on Saturday 24th September. Learn more at bt.com/sportboxoffice.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched a one-million-dollar ‘OneTreePlanted’ programme to plant five million trees by 2024 to restore degraded areas in the Black Volta landscape. The programme was launched under the UNDP Global Environment Facility Small Grant Programme (GEF/SGP) at Maluwe in the Bole Bamboi District of the Savannah region of Ghana.
The ‘OneTreePlanted’ programme will enhance capacity and supply various seedlings including Cassia, Mahogany, Cashew, and Mango to selected communities in the Black Volta landscape for planting. The aim is to fight environmental degradation and promote sustainable livelihood enterprises in the landscape.
“This programme is about not leaving anyone behind. We are all expected to be involved in tree planting on farms, in open spaces, around towns, in school compounds, and in forest areas. Plant at least one tree and maintain it for people and for the planet,” Angela Lusigi, the UNDP Resident Representative in Ghana urged the communities at the launch.
Dr. Lusigi also noted that the programme is to contribute to the Government of Ghana’s Green Ghana agenda by supporting the communities to invest in sustainable land management and conserving the Black Volta Basin ecosystem. She added that it would also focus on providing alternative livelihood support systems to enhance the well-being of the people, whiles sustaining the environment.
The Chief of Maluwe (Maluwewura), Sulemana Bramani, expressed appreciation to UNDP and pledged the commitment of the communities in the area to the success of the programme.
“We are very happy that UNDP has selected our area for this laudable agenda OneTreePlanted programme. This initiative is not only investing in our fuelwood but in our livelihood improvement. My advice to the woodblock farmers is that, visit your farms regularly and cater for your tree farms”, the Maluwewura noted.
The Black Volta landscape is an international water ecosystem that generates clean energy from the Bui hydropower for national development. The landscape also provides a haven to globally threatened species including hippopotamus, elephants, and Buffalos.
It is also known that crop production from this landscape contributes 37.5% of yam, 11.3% of cassava, 17.2% of maize, and 28.7% of local rice to the national totals. The area thus supports livelihood services for over one million indigenous people.
The prosperity and sustainable management of the Black Volta landscape is therefore a great priority for national development. Unfortunately, the landscape has been subjected to environmental abuses over the years. The area experiences uncontrolled wildfire, illegal mining, uncontrolled harvesting of wood for timber and charcoal, and unsustainable farming practices.
Trend analysis shows that if nothing is done, Ghana is likely to lose the potential of the Black Volta landscape as a natural resource for national development. It is very important to enhance the resilience of the communities to climate change impacts and thus reduce poverty, and this requires partnerships.
“The UNDP GEF Small Grants Programme will devote US$1 million direct funding support to the OneTreePlanted programme whiles mobilizing additional support from other development partners. I am glad to say that TerraFund for financing Africa’s Top 100 Tree Restoration Projects and Enterprises has committed US$150,000 over the next three years to support the programme. We would want to appeal to other donors to join the implementation of the programme”, stated Dr. George Ortsin, the National Coordinator of the UNDP GEF Small Grant Programme in Ghana.
The UNDP GEF Small Grant Programme is already supporting five communities in the Bole Bamboi District with agroforestry and the OneTreePlanted Programme is to complements the existing agroforestry initiative.
“Currently, we have almost 2000 farmers in 5 communities in the landscape, who are restoring the degraded landscape under the UNDP GEF Small Grant Programme. The farmers have integrated food crops into their woodblocks, and this is our contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation because we are reducing poverty whiles protecting the environment”, said Hannah Boaduaa, the Programme Lead in Maluwe.
The goal of the ‘OneTreePlanted’ programme is to restore about 170 hectares of degraded areas in the Black Volta landscape to contribute to Ghana’s climate action agenda.

Otley Run Leeds: All the pubs and bars and everything you need to know about infamous pub crawl
The Otley Run has has become something or a rite of passage for undergraduates in Leeds.
With students returning to the city and the freshers period getting in to full swing, the infamous drinking route that stretches from Headingley to the city centre can be expected to be filled with fancy dress-sporting groups.
But with complaints of the bar crawl leading to excessive drunken disorder in the city, the Otley Run has been under the spotlight over whether it should be phased out from the city.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Otley Run.
What is the Otley Run?
The Otley Run is a two-and-a-half-mile pub crawl that starts at Woodies Ale House in Headingley and ends in the city centre at The Dry Dock after other boozes are stopped off at for a drink along the way – though the exact number does vary.
The route follows along Otley Road and has become a well-known drinking session that sees groups of students, friends and hen-dos and stag-dos taking it on in fancy dress on frequent weekends.
With so many venues on the run it can often lead to people getting into drunken states, which has led to criticism from the community.
How many bars and pubs are on it?
The given number of pubs and bars along the route is 15, though different figures are sometimes given and, naturally, as more drinks become consumed there are frequented occurrences of people skipping out a few stops.
Which drinking holes does it include?
The often-cited route of 15 pubs starts at Woodies Craft Ale House in ends at the Dry Dock towards the north of the city centre. In between there is The Three Horseshoes, The New Inn, The Headingley Taps, Manahatta, The Box, Skyrack, The Original Oak, Hyde Park Hotel, The Library, The Pack Horse, The Eldon, Leeds University Union, The Fenton
When did people start doing it?
There have been various incarnations of the Otley Run over the years but the original beer crawl is cited to be one that was undertaken by farmers when laws under the Licensing Act 1964 gave Otley pubs favourable hours on market days.
Why has it courted so much controversy from Leeds residents?
Due to its nature, the Otley Run regularly sees people getting into drunken states and has led to complaints to the council and police over littering, smashed glass, vomiting and more serious crimes like harassment.
As the run has become more popular and well-known it has led to groups coming from other cities and causing greater disruption.
Recent plans submitted to open a McDonald’s on the route have also faced a pushback due to the additional problems it could bring, with one complainant saying it could “pour fuel on the fire”.
What is being done about the issues?
A Leeds City councillor recently said that the run was “turning Headingley into Magaluf” and the council has said that it will clampdown on disruption in the area with fines of up to £1,000.
Venues along the route are also taking greater steps to communicate with each other to point out the more troublesome groups and turn away those responsible.

Interest rate jump ‘will add nearly £600 per year on average to some mortgages’
Mortgage borrowers whose deal directly tracks the base rate will see their payments increase by around £49 per month on average, adding up to nearly £600 annually, as a result of Thursday’s base rate hike.
The figures, from trade association UK Finance, also showed that a borrower sitting on their lender’s standard variable rate (SVR) will typically see a monthly increase of just under £31, adding up to around £370 per year.
Nearly four-fifths (78%) of residential mortgages outstanding are fixed rates, meaning these borrowers will not see the immediate impact of the Bank of England’s base rate hike on Thursday from 1.75% to 2.25% – the highest level since November 2008.
But, if they have been safely locked into their home loan for a while, they may find they get a bill shock when they do eventually re-mortgage.
Tim Bannister, Rightmove’s housing expert, said: “Although the majority of people are on fixed-rate mortgages, there’s a looming concern for those with their terms due to end over the next six months or so as interest rates continue to creep up.
They will now face the tough decision of moving to a tracker mortgage in the hope that interest rates drop again soon, or taking another fixed deal for a bit more certainty on their outgoings
“It’s likely that those who choose to fix again will find that rates have doubled in some cases since they last locked in, and so despite paying down some of their debt they could find their new monthly mortgage payments are higher, even if they’ve moved into a lower LTV (loan-to-value) bracket and have built up equity.
“They will now face the tough decision of moving to a tracker mortgage in the hope that interest rates drop again soon, or taking another fixed deal for a bit more certainty on their outgoings.”
The latest hike could also make it more of a struggle for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder, adding to the rising cost of raising a deposit.
According to property website Rightmove, first-time buyers typically face scraping together £22,409 if they want to raise a 10% deposit on a home, up from £14,135 10 years ago.
There has been speculation this week that a stamp duty cut may be on the cards, although some commentators have suggested this could push house prices up further.
Nathan Emerson, CEO of estate and letting agents’ body Propertymark, said: “Recent rises have been so widely spoken about that this has fed directly into consumer sentiment and has left some people uneasy about moving home, but those looking to enter the market should not be spooked by this.
“Despite increases, the majority of buyers and sellers are taking advantage of the cooling-off in house prices and the slight easing in competition, and they continue to enter a strong and healthy market.”
Those with other types of debts will also feel the strain of rising rates.
Buyers and sellers are taking advantage of the cooling-off in house prices
Alice Haine, personal finance analyst at Bestinvest said: “Consumers borrowed an additional £1.4 billion in credit in July, a further jump on the increase of £1.8 billion in June – with half of that sum on credit cards alone – highlighting just how difficult the current environment has become.
“Anyone with an existing fixed-rate personal loan or car loan does not need to panic yet as the terms of their loan have already been agreed, but new borrowers shopping around for credit may find the cost of debt higher.
“Anyone with a small credit card balance they are struggling to clear should consider switching to a 0% balance transfer deal to buy themselves some breathing space.
“This gives them an interest-free period to pay back the debt at their own pace without the fear of the debt compounding out of control.”
While banks and building societies are quick to apply higher rates to debt, they can be a little slower to deliver the good news to savers
Savers meanwhile may see some improvements to deals in the coming weeks.
But Ms Haine said that with high inflation, “the real return on any cash sitting in a savings account will be deeply negative – no matter how great the headline rate is”.
She added: “With the best easy access accounts climbing to 1.95% this week and the best fixed-term accounts hitting 3.82%, every penny in additional interest will be crucial in the fight against high inflation, which eats away at our spending power.
“But it might be worth waiting a little while to let the latest interest rate rises trickle through from lenders to savers.
“While banks and building societies are quick to apply higher rates to debt, they can be a little slower to deliver the good news to savers.”

A new campaign video put out by National Unity led by Defense Minister Benny Gantz shows him forming a government with the haredi parties, marking the first time that the campaign has officially acknowledged that this is its plan.
The video portrays Gantz as the only one with the ability to break the political deadlock. It displays a pie chart with the parties National Unity, Labor, Yisrael Beytenu, Meretz, United Torah Judaism (UTJ), Shas and Yesh Atid, which add up to 71 mandates, the video shows, based on a Channel 12 poll from September 16.
The video includes a clip of UTJ MK Uri Maklev saying in an interview to Army Radio that Gantz is a possibility if Netanyahu cannot form a government.
It concludes with a frame saying, "We must stop the November nightmare" with a picture of Netanyahu. "It's either Gantz now or Bibi is coming back," it then says.
Maklev backed away from the quotes in the video. "Gantz is using tendentious and misleading quotes in order to sell to the public the pipe-dream that we will sit with the Left," Army Radio quoted him as saying. "We are acting vigorously so that Netanyahu will be the next prime minister. Gantz is welcome to join based on right-wing guidelines," he said.
"Gantz is using tendentious and misleading quotes in order to sell to the public the pipe-dream that we will sit with the Left,"
Uri Maklev
Gantz's courtship after the haredi parties
The possibility of Gantz forming a government with the haredi parties emerged as the defense minister yesterday prayed at the synagogue of Rabbi Reuven Elbaz, who is one of the most senior rabbis affiliated with Shas. Gantz was also published receiving a blessing from the rabbi, who in turn received a written blessing from Gantz, thanking him for his "years-long activity on behalf of the people of Israel."
Maariv Online reported that Netanyahu's office was taken aback by Gantz being honored at what is traditionally a right-wing stronghold.
Gantz was also the first party leader together with Shas leader Aryeh Deri to visit the mourning family of another Shas rabbi, Hacham Shalom Cohen, who died on August 22.
These gestures are purposely intended to woo the haredim to join a future government. The haredi parties, including UTJ and not just Shas, are refraining from attacking Gantz.
At UTJ's campaign launch on Wednesday, party leader MK Moshe Gafni lashed out at Labor leader and Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli, Prime Minister Yair Lapid, and Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman. Gantz was noticeably absent.
The defense minister also remained mum last week when Netanyahu promised to raise funding for the haredi school system without demanding that they teach a core curriculum. Nearly every other party leader from the Center-Left attacked Netanyahu.
The haredi parties are walking a fine line of committing to Netanyahu without bashing Gantz, in order to be able to gain as much as possible following the election, and Gantz is now courting them publicly.

The start of the NBA season is just four weeks away, which means it’s time for ESPN’s annual top 100 player list. In last year’s list, ESPN listed four Knicks in their top 100. They’ve done the same this year, but it includes a couple of different guys.
Robinson, who ranked in at 93 last season, returns to the list after another solid season. Ranking in at 98, Robinson barely made the cut, but still gets recognized as one of the league’s elite lob finishers. If he can remain healthy, which has always been a concern with him, he should benefit greatly from Jalen Brunson and his playmaking ability. Coming off of a sparkling new extension in the offseason, Robinson will be relied on heavily, not just for his finishing ability, but also for his rim protection. With the Knicks’ perimeter defense looking vulnerable, the Knicks will need Mitchell to outplay his ranking if they want to make any kind of noise in the conference.
Julius Randle comfortably remains in the top 100, but slipped almost 30 spots down as he ranks just 71st now after an abysmal season. This is an incredibly important season for Randle. There is a chance that if he can thrive with the arrival of Brunson. Perhaps he can push himself up higher on next year’s edition of this list. But if he repeats his performance from last season, he could see himself barely making the list next season.
Ranking slightly ahead of Randle is the newly-acquired Brunson. The former Maverick, who was missing from last season’s list, catapulted himself into the 67th spot on this year’s list after an incredibly efficient season. He went from averaging 12.6 PPG and 3.5 APG to 16.3 PPG and 4.8 APG, and solidified himself as a big game performer when he was tasked with leading the Mavericks in the playoffs without the injured Luka Doncic. There are still questions about whether or not he can be the number one guy, but the Knicks seem to be believers in him, as evident by his new $104 million contract. With the keys to the offense and a bigger role than he’s ever had, he could take the next step and see himself become a top 50 player this season.
Last but not least is RJ Barrett, who is the highest-ranked Knick at 63. His ranking may not be incredibly high when taking into account his age and ability, but this ranking was still surprising. Barrett, for the majority of his NBA career, has been underrated and even disrespected at times. Often disregarded by many analysts, reporters, and rankings, it would have been easy to assume that ESPN ranked Barrett way lower. After all, ESPN left Barrett off of their 25 under 25 list. Barrett’s recognition here was a definitely nice change given his exclusion from last year’s version of this list. That being said, there will still be a lot of pressure on him as the Knicks have 120 million reasons to hope that he can rank even higher in next year’s list.
Both Mitchell and Randle seem pretty fairly rated while Barrett and Brunson may seem kind of underrated at first glance. But if you look at the rest of the list, it becomes increasingly difficult to pick guys to drop down. Sure there are guys like Marcus Smart at 34, or Mikal Bridges at 49 that seem too high given their stats, but it’s hard to argue with their roles on championship contending teams. If anything, this list is an annual reminder that the league is filled with extremely talented guys and that even players like Brunson and Barrett, who many Knicks fans regard highly, have a hard time cracking the top 50.
With 30 teams in the league, getting four players in the top 100 isn’t bad, but the fact that not a single player from the Knicks ranked higher than 63 is glaring evidence that nobody believes that this team has elite talent. With the four on this list and a few other really solid players like Evan Fournier, Isaiah Hartenstein, Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickley, and Quentin Grimes, the Knicks have some really nice pieces. But even after the nice offseason moves, this roster is still devoid of a superstar. Because of that, if the Knicks want to defy expectations and make another playoff appearance, these players will either have to greatly outplay their rankings or the team will have to come together and be way more than the sum of their parts.

Olly Murs looks ripped as he shows off his “incredible” body transformation after losing two stone in as many years.
The Troublemaker singer has managed an impressive weight loss after following an exercise and diet regime with the help of his fiancée, bodybuilder Amelia Tank. Olly took to Instagram on Thursday (September 22) to share before and after photos highlighting his dramatic physique change.
The ‘before’ photo was taken just five months ago after The Voice judge underwent knee surgery following an accident at a concert. The ‘after’ photo shows Olly beaming as he leaves little to the imagination, proudly showing off his lean physique wearing just a pair of white boxer shorts.

Captioning the post, Olly said: “Put ya positive pants on and tackle the day. Facts are my knee won’t ever be back to normal but it won’t stop me from [bouncing] around on stage or in life.
“You know who I am and I ain’t stopping for no-one! Hope ya ready for the madness cos I am.”
Fans and fellow celebs were quick to praise the singer on his impressive physique, as TV presenter Vernon Kay said: “Kinda relate to the exasperated look in the first pic on the left… Hard work pays off!!”
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden said: “Jeeeeez”
Former X Factor judge Alesha Dixon simply said: “Fair play.”
Olly’s comments section was inundated with fans praising him for “smashing it” and looking “unreal.” The singer has attributed his weight loss to simply “eating the right foods,” adding: “You’ve got to help yourself.”
However, he also stressed his soon-to-be wife helped him, too. Speaking to Heart Radio earlier in his weight loss journey, he said: “She’s brilliant and she’s been absolutely fantastic.
“She just gave me that extra little bit of encouragement and she says it’s not up to me to do it, you’ve got to be able to do it yourself. You’ve got to get up to do it every day.
“So I was like, okay I will. So, she did this little nutritional plan for me and I just went out and did it and loved it. And I still love it now.”

Iowa pipeline project moving forward with permits as landowners worry about property values
A new C02 pipeline could eventually stretch more than 800 miles across Iowa.
But before the company planning it can apply for a permit, it needs to finish meeting with local communities.
A meeting for Polk County property owners was the last of 12 in-person meetings over the last month.
Officials with the company, Navigator, showed up in Ankeny to go over their plans and answer concerns.
A few dozen people turned up to the meeting, including landowners who may wind up with a pipeline on their property.
"It decreases the value of the property," said one landowner. "And it decreases land process with crops. So you do have some digging and other things — and you do have tiles and other amenities do get ruined by digging through the dirt."
The proposal is personal to anyone who may be affected - and it was common to hear concerns about safety.
While the ultimate path would only be about 50 feet wide, the pipeline and where it goes have a lot of interest in communities across the state.
Now that the outreach meetings are over, the company can begin the permitting process in 30 days.
It expects to get back the permits toward the end of next year, with construction beginning in 2024.

'Fat Leonard' fugitive in US Navy scandal captured in Venezuela
An undated handout picture released on September 21, 2022 by the Instagram account of Interpol Venezuela shows Malaysian fugitive Leonard Francis, known as "Fat Leonard," after his capture in Venezuela
A military contractor known as "Fat Leonard" who pleaded guilty in the US Navy's worst ever corruption scandal has been captured in Venezuela after fleeing the United States, the Interpol office in Caracas said.
Leonard Francis cut off his GPS monitor and escaped house arrest in California in early September.
"The fugitive was arrested at the Simon Bolivar de Maiquetia International Airport when he was about to leave the country," a post shared on Instagram Wednesday by the Caracas Interpol office said.
Leonard "entered the country coming from Mexico with a stop in Cuba" and aimed to travel to Russia, the post said, adding that he was the subject of an Interpol red notice.
Francis, a Malaysian national who ran a military contracting company out of Singapore, pleaded guilty in 2015 to offering some $500,000 in bribes to Navy officers to steer official work to his shipyards, carrying out work on US vessels that prosecutors say he overcharged the Navy for, to the tune of $35 million.
Police were sent to his San Diego residence on September 4 after the agency monitoring his ankle bracelet reported a problem with the device, and found that he was gone, the US Marshals Service said.
Francis was arrested in 2013 and pleaded guilty two years later. He suffered numerous health problems, including kidney cancer, which led to him being released to house arrest in 2018 while acting as a cooperating witness for federal prosecutors.
He was due to be sentenced on September 22.
Four Navy officers have been found guilty in the case so far, while another 29 people, including naval officials, contractors and Francis himself, have pleaded guilty, US media said.

One in six over-80s in England have had Covid autumn booster jab
Around one in six over-80s in England have already received an autumn booster dose of Covid-19 vaccine, new figures suggest.
Some 16.2% of those aged 80 and over – nearly half a million people – are estimated to have had the jab by September 18, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
A similar proportion (16.0%) of 75 to 79-year-olds have also received the booster, along with around one in 15 (6.6%) of people aged 70 to 74.
The booster roll-out began in England on September 5 with doses being given to residents in hundreds of care homes.
Since September 7, people aged 75 and over have been able to book an appointment for a jab, along with frontline health and care workers, and people with a weakened immune system.
This was widened on September 12 to include all those aged 65 and over, plus carers and pregnant women.

Bookings can be done online or over the phone, as long as the person had their last Covid jab at least three months ago.
An autumn booster will eventually be offered to everyone aged 50 and over.
The dose is intended to increase protection against coronavirus ahead of the winter, when infection levels are likely to rise.
Overall, around one in 20 people aged 50 and over in England (5.7%) are estimated to have already received their autumn booster, the UKHSA said.

Initial offers for RTL's M6 stake due Friday after failed TF1 deal -source
By Klaus Lauer
BERLIN/FRANKFURT, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Initial offers for RTL's 48% stake in French TV channel M6 are expected by Friday after a failed tie-up with France's TF1 broadcaster, a person familiar with the matter said.
RTL and its German parent Bertelsmann declined to comment on when initial offers were due for the holding in M6, whose shares were up around 5% at 13.18 euros by 1224 GMT.
RTL has been "inundated" with expressions of interest in the M6 stake since TF1 and M6 called off their planned merger last week, its boss Thomas Rabe told the Financial Times on Thursday.
"This is why we are testing the market," Rabe, who is also CEO of Bertelsmann, was quoted as saying by the FT.
"On the basis of this test we will decide whether to sell or not," Rabe said.
Among those expected to bid are a consortium of high-profile French entrepreneurs including billionaire Rodolphe Saade, another source close to the matter told Reuters.
French shipping group CMA CGM, of which Saade is chairman and which he controls with his family, said it did not comment on market rumours.
Other potential buyers include French media group Vivendi and Altice, owned by billionaire Patrick Drahi, alongside Italian media conglomerate MediaForEurope (MFE), Reuters reported on Monday.
Vivendi, Altice and MFE declined to comment.
RTL together with French conglomerate Bouygues, TF1's main shareholder, ended the plan to merge M6 and TF1 into a national television champion on Friday, saying demands by the French competition authority made it unworkable.
The authorities would only have given the green light to the deal, which was designed to forge a heavyweight in the French television and video streaming market in the face of global competition from Netflix, if either TF1 or M6 was sold.
If RTL wants to sell M6, a deal must be completed by spring 2023, because M6's broadcasting license comes up for renewal in May. After that, its main shareholder would not be allowed to sell it for five years. In March 2021, when Bertelsmann confirmed talks to sell its stake, French media reported the RTL's stake was worth 1.5 billion euros ($1.48 billion), valuing all of M6 at around 3 billion euros. ($1 = 1.0142 euros) (Reporting by Klaus Lauer in Berlin and Elvira Pollina in Milan; Additional reporting by Gus Trompiz in Paris; Writing by Emma-Victoria Farr in Frankfurt; Editing by Silvia Aloisi and Alexander Smith)

UK railway workers nationwide plan fresh strike on Oct. 8 - union
LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of British railway workers nationwide will go on strike on Oct. 8 in an ongoing dispute over pay and working conditions, the trade union representing them said on Thursday.
Britain's rail network suffered major disruption on several days in June, July and August when rail workers walked out in the country's biggest railway strikes in three decades.
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) said 40,000 members from Network Rail and 15 train operating companies would take part in the fresh round of industrial action next month.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said it was encouraging that new transport minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan, who took up the role earlier this month, had met with the union.
"However, as no new offer has been tabled, our members have no choice but to continue this strike action," Lynch said.
"We will continue to negotiate in good faith, but the employers and government need to understand our industrial campaign will continue for as long as it takes."
The RMT had already previously announced a walkout for Oct. 1, potentially disrupting travel to the governing Conservative Party's conference in Birmingham in central England which begins on Oct. 2.
A separate rail union is also planning to take strike action on Oct. 1 and Oct. 5.
Britain has faced strikes by workers across a number of sectors as wages fail to keep pace with soaring inflation and a deepening cost-of-living crisis. (Reporting by Muvija M and Farouq Suleiman, Editing by Kylie MacLellan)

Adam Levine to return to the stage in Las Vegas with his band Maroon 5 as he tries to move on from sexting scandal
- Levine, 43, has been batting a scandal over sexual DMs to women in recent days
- But sources tell TMZ that he is charging forward with a Maroon 5 show
- The band will perform as part of a charity fundraiser in Las Vegas on October 1
- Levine also reportedly plans to stick to his obligations and upcoming tour
- He was accused of cheating on wife Behati Prinsloo by one woman
- Others have since claimed that he sent sexual messages to them
Adam Levine is planning to get back on the road with his band Maroon 5 as he tries to put his new sexting scandal behind him.
The 43-year-old Maroon 5 frontman will be leading the band at an upcoming performance in Las Vegas, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ.
The show, which is set for October 1 and has been dubbed 'The Event,' is a fundraiser put on by The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation.
Back on the road: Adam Levine, 43, will try to put his sexting scandal behind him with a performance with his band Maroon 5 in Las Vegas next month, sources told TMZ on Thursday; seen in November 2021 in West Hollywood
The organization works with Boys and Girl Clubs and Communities in Schools organizations to help underserved children.
Adam and the band's performance will be at the MGM Grand.
The singer likely won't have to deal with questions about his latest sexting scandal, as the benefit show reportedly won't have a red carpet — the same as last year — meaning he can get in and out in a low-key manner.
Despite the ongoing DM scandal, the sources also claimed that Adam would be continuing on with more performances with his band.
For a cause: The show, which is set for October 1 and has been dubbed 'The Event,' is a fundraiser put on by The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation, which helps underserved children; seen in October 2021 in LA
Troubles: Levine is married to Victoria's Secret model be Behati Prinsloo, 34, and shares two young children with her, but he denied having an affair this week while admitting he 'crossed the line' with inappropriate DMs to another woman; seen in November 2021
The hitmaker will still be keeping up with all of his preexisting obligations, which seemingly includes an upcoming Maroon 5 tour.
The band is set to do a tour of Asia starting in late November, before returning to the US for a New Year's Eve show in Palm Springs, California.
Adam, who is married to the model Behati Prinsloo, 34, has been inundated with claims that he sent inappropriate sexual messages to several women.
The claims comes as Behati is pregnant with their third child. The couple already share two daughters: Dusty Rose, six, and Gio Grace, four.
Adam's cheating and sexting scandal troubles began when the social media model Sumner Stroh, 23, claimed that she had carried on a year-long affair with the singer, after he claimed his marriage was on the way out.
She said they were together in 2021, after she had graduated from college.
'At the time, I was young, I was naive and, quite frankly, I feel exploited,' she said in a video posted Monday. 'I wasn’t in "the scene" like I am now, so I was definitely very easily manipulated.'
She claimed that after Behati's pregnancy was announced, which suggested the relationship was on stronger ground than she had been led to believe, Adam then told that Sumner wanted to potentially name the child after her.
Speaking her truth: Adam's cheating and sexting scandal troubles began when the social media model Sumner Stroh, 23, claimed they had a year-long affair starting last year. She also provided sexts allegedly sent by Levine
Half denial: Levine denied ever having an affair, but admitted his messages were 'inappropriate'
Adam has since denied the model's cheating claims, though he has admitted that his messages and sexts with her 'crossed the line.'
Additional women have since claimed that Levine sent them flirtatious messages.
Ashley Russell, a 21-year-old student at Auburn University in Alabama, spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com on Wednesday to detail her interactions with the singer.
She said that the former Voice coach began sending her flirty messages in March, many of which were related to her workouts, though the messages dried up by the end of the month when she warned him that he might get caught.
'I would check every time I posted a story, which was every day, and it was always viewed by him,' Russell said. 'He would like mainly like booty stories and would always reply with something to do with leg or booty day at the gym.'
Russell also provided screenshots of what appeared to be notifications of messages from Levine's Instagram account.
On Wednesday, Adam was seen out in Santa Barbara with Behati and their children, but so far his wife has not addressed his scandal.
Fifth woman: Ashley Russell, 21, who runs a health and exercise Instagram account, told DailyMail.com how Adam Levine suddenly began messaging her after he allegedly came across her profile randomly in March
Receipts: Russell also provided screenshots of what appeared to be notifications of messages from Levine's Instagram account. Multiple other women also said Levine had sent flirty messages to them

SINGAPORE, Sept 22 — At the age of 16, he made three teenage girls have sex with him. One of them was only 13 while another was unwell and running a fever at the time.
A couple of years later, when he was in a relationship, his girlfriend noticed him texting other girls on the phone. She wanted to break up with him but he frequently threatened to kill himself if she left him.
He then began turning up at her home or workplace, lied to her colleagues that she was skipping work and harassed her relatives.
He did not stop even when they finally ended their relationship.
In 2020, he threatened to publish her explicit photos and videos online if she did not unblock him on social media and change her Instagram profile picture.
For his actions spanning four years, the Singaporean youth, now aged 22, was today ordered to undergo 21 months’ probation.
He cannot be named because he committed some of the offences when he was under 18. The Children and Young Persons Act bans the publication of the identities of young offenders.
He earlier pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual penetration of a minor, along with one charge each of unlawful stalking and threatening to distribute intimate recordings. He did not face any charges of rape or sexual assault.
Has ‘strong familial support’
Today, Deputy Public Prosecutor Louis Ngia told the court that he “did not object” to probation being meted out in line with the probation officer’s recommendation.
“While we maintain that the offences are rather serious ones, we have taken into account the fact that (the youth) appears to have strong familial support and most of the offences were committed at a very young age of 16 years old,” the prosecutor added.
The youth’s lawyer Riko Isaac said that his client was willing to comply with the terms of probation.
District Judge Janet Wang ultimately imposed the community-based sentence, but she cautioned that the courts are not bound to follow the recommendations of probation officers.
Probation is usually offered to first-time offenders between 16 and 21 years old. This does not result in a recorded criminal conviction and allows young offenders to continue with their education or employment while serving their sentences.
As part of his probation conditions, the youth has to perform 60 hours of community service, and he has to remain indoors from midnight to 6am.
He also has to attend psychological treatment and allow his probation officer to monitor and check his internet devices.
His parents posted a bond of S$5,000 to ensure his good behaviour during the probation period.
First two victims
Court documents detailed his offences against two girls — then aged 13 and 15 — as well as his ex-girlfriend.
The younger girl had developed feelings for him but they never got into a relationship.
On one occasion, she followed him home when he claimed that he wanted to confide in someone about his personal problems.
They went into his bedroom because his grandmother was also home.
He began to cry while confiding in her, before suddenly kissing her on the lips and forcing himself on her. She pushed him away and tried to protest.
However, he told her that he knew she wanted to have sex with him, before holding her down on the bed to have his way with her.
After the sexual acts, she left in a confused and emotionally fragile state.
Unsure if she was now in a relationship with him, she sent him text messages. He gave curt replies before eventually ignoring her.
The girl later realised that he was not interested in dating her, and was upset that he had used her against her will to satisfy his sexual desires, the court heard.
As for the 15-year-old girl, she began dating him in June 2016.
She went over to his home one day when he suggested that she rest at his place before they went on a date. She was running a fever then.
Feeling very tired and ill, she complied when he asked her to go to his bedroom, thinking she could take a short nap there.
When she closed her eyes, he began touching her chest before engaging in sexual acts with her. She was too weak and powerless to resist, eventually giving him and letting him have his way.
They broke up two months later when she found out that he was cheating on her.
These offences came to light in May 2018 after he told a youth worker about having sexual intercourse with three girls when he was 16.
Harassed ex-girlfriend
Separately, the youth began dating another girl in early 2018 after meeting her in school. Their relationship was “emotionally distressing” for her from the start, the court heard.
Four months later, she began telling him that she wanted to break up with him because she often saw him texting many girls.
He then threatened to kill himself. When these threats stopped working, he resorted to other methods such as going to her home in the early hours of the morning.
In June 2019, she left for a few months for an internship in Vietnam.
During this period, noticing that she did not respond to his messages, he threatened to contact her colleagues in Vietnam.
When she did not accede to his threats, he sent messages to her colleagues and family members over Facebook Messenger in order to make her respond to him.
He threatened to repeatedly call her office, lied to her colleagues that she was skipping work or resigning, and threatened to make a false police report that her male boss was harassing her.
Because of this, she felt compelled to not have lunch with male colleagues on his demands.
They eventually broke up in February 2020 but he continued asking her to get back together.
Things came to a head on May 15, 2020. This was during the Covid-19 circuit breaker period here when people were not allowed to leave their homes save for essential purposes.
He told her he was preparing to post her explicit photos and videos online unless she unblocked him on social media and changed her Instagram display picture.
She had told him to delete the lewd material, which he recorded while they were dating, but he refused.
When she did not give in to his demands, he forwarded her one of the videos.
She was particularly alarmed by this because she knew he belonged to the Telegram chat group “SG Nasi Lemak”, where members shared obscene material of Singaporean women.
She filed a police report — the second one after she went to the police in September 2019.
Adult offenders convicted of sexually penetrating a minor under 14 can be jailed for up to 20 years, and fined or caned. The punishment for the same offence against a minor under 16 is imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine, or both. — TODAY

Iranian women film themselves hacking off their hair and burning their hijabs while ten protesters die amid growing rage over death of Mahsa Amini, 22, during 'morality police' arrest
- Women are directly challenging authoritarian regime by cutting hair and burning headscarves in protest
- Death toll has risen to ten as violent protests continue to rage across Iran
- Riots erupted when Mahsa Amini died after being arrested by morality police for wearing 'unsuitable attire'
More Iranian women are defiantly filming themselves cutting off their hair and burning their hijabs in solidarity with Mahsa Amini who was killed last week for wearing 'unsuitable attire'.
State-mandated headscarves have been removed by women in the streets and others shared videos of them defying the draconian dress codes in an open challenge to the authoritarian regime.
Ms Amini died at the age of 22 last week, three days after she was arrested by the 'morality police' responsible for enforcing Iran's strict Islamic strict dress code.
Police said she died of a heart attack and did not suffer any mistreatment, despite experts claims she was severely beaten.
Her death has sparked nationwide protests which have seen at least ten people killed as violence grips the republic.
The US imposed sanctions today on the morality police, accusing it of abuse and violence against Iranian women and of violating the rights of peaceful Iranian protesters.

The US Treasury also said it had put sanctions on the heads of the Iranian army's ground forces and of the morality police as well as on Iran's minister of intelligence.
To prevent protests from spreading, Iran's biggest telecom operator largely shut down mobile internet access again Thursday, said Netblocks, a group that monitors internet access, describing the restrictions as the most severe since 2019.
Reports from Kurdish rights group Hengaw said three protesters were killed on Wednesday, bringing the death toll from the protests to 10.
An anchor on Iran's state television suggested the death toll from the mass protests could be as high as 17 on Thursday, but did not say how he reached that figure.
'Unfortunately, 17 people and police officers present at the scene of these events lost their lives,' the anchor said, adding official statistics would be released later.

In footage from Sari, the capital of northern Mazandaran province, activists teared down posters of the founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Khomeini and Supreme Leader Khamenei on a municipality building.
'Amin Marafti, 16, Milan Haghigi, 21, and Sadruddin Litani, 27, were at least three Shno residents who were shot dead by government forces during the city's demonstrations ,' Hengaw said in a statement.
'I'm just looking outside of from flat's window. It's a complete chaos down here,' Ashskan, a resident of Tajrish in the centre of the capital Tehran, told MailOnline.
'They [police] fired teargas here, it's a residential, children are living here. It's lots of smoke, people are suffocating,' he said.
'Most of the protesters are women with no headscarves. They are clashing with the police. Some time police officers run after the people and sometime the other way around,' he added.
'It's very crowded. They fired teargas into our parking. They are chanting 'Dictator! dictator' and also 'death to the dictator' I also heard gunshots,' he continued.
Iran blocked access to Instagram and WhatsApp and imposed drastic restrictions on internet access Thursday.
'In accordance with a decision by officials, it has no longer been possible to access Instagram in Iran since Wednesday evening and access to WhatsApp is also disrupted,' the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
The two apps were the most widely used in Iran after the blocking of other platforms in recent years, including Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, YouTube and Tiktok.
Connections have slowed significantly since protests erupted following the government's announcement of the death of Mahsa Amini.
Significant internet outages were also reported across the country, with one of the biggest mobile phone operators disrupted, leaving millions offline.

It comes as 13 Iranian lawmakers have suggested to the government to take harsher measures against the protesters.
Officials have denied that security forces have killed protesters, suggesting they may have been shot by armed dissidents but footage shows police officers firing directly at people.
Meanwhile protesters in Tehran and several other Iranian cities torched police stations and vehicles on Thursday morning.
Unrest triggered by the death of a woman detained by the Islamic Republic's morality police intensified for a sixth day.
She fell into a coma while in detention. The authorities have said they would launch an investigation into the cause of death.
Amini's death unleashed huge anger in the population and the worst protests in Iran since 2019.
Many Iranians, particularly the young, have come to see Amini's death as part of the Islamic Republic's heavy-handed policing of dissent and the morality police's increasingly violent treatment of young women.
Some women demonstrators have defiantly taken off their hijabs and burned them in bonfires or symbolically cut their hair, video footage spread virally on social media has shown.

Most of the protests have been concentrated in Iran's Kurdish-populated northwestern regions but have spread to the capital and at least 50 cities and towns nationwide, with police using force to disperse protesters.
In the northeast, protesters shouted 'We will die, we will die but we'll get Iran back' near a police station which was set on fire, a video showed that was posted on a Twitter account 1500tasvir, which focuses on Iran protests and has around 100,000 followers.

Iran's rulers fear a revival of the 2019 protests over gasoline price rises, the bloodiest in the Islamic Republic's history. Reuters reported 1,500 were killed.
Protesters also expressed anger at Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
'Mojtaba, may you die and not become Supreme Leader,' a crowd was seen chanting in Tehran, referring to Khamenei's son, who some believe could succeed his father at the top of Iran's political establishment.

With no sign of the protests easing, authorities restricted access to the internet, according to residents, and internet shutdown observatory NetBlocks.
Amini's death has unleashed fury across Iran over issues including freedoms in the Islamic Republic and an economy reeling from sanctions.
Women have played a prominent role in the protests, waving and burning their veils, with some cutting their hair in public.
In northern Iran, crowds armed with batons and rocks attacked two members of the security forces on a motorbike as a crowd cheered, as seen on a video, which Reuters was unable to verify.

NetBlocks also reported a 'nation-scale loss of connectivity' on Iran's main state mobile telephone provider and another company's network
WhatsApp's servers were disrupted on multiple internet providers, hours after Instagram's services were blocked, London-based NetBlocks said.
The group's data shows a near-total disruption to internet service in parts of Kurdistan province in western Iran since Monday, while the capital city of Tehran and other parts of the country have also faced disruptions since Friday, when protests first broke out.
Meanwhile a Twitter account linked to the 'Anonymous' hacker group claims to have launched cyber attacks against the Iranian government and affiliated websites.
The group shared screenshots showing websites of Iran's government portal, the office of a government spokesperson, and the central bank taken down after purportedly being hacked.
In an address to the UN General Assembly, US President Joe Biden said Americans will stand with 'the brave women of Iran who right now are demonstrating to secure their basic rights'.
He spoke after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi rejected calls from Western powers to respect women's rights.
Iran's hard-line president, Ebrahim Raisi, has deflected criticism of his government's response to the protests and the subsequent violence.
'The Islamic Republic of Iran rejects some of the double standards of some governments vis-a-vis human rights,' he said.
'Human rights belongs to all, but unfortunately it is trampled upon by many governments,' he added referring to the discovery of unmarked graves of indigenous people in Canada, the suffering of the Palestinians and images of migrant children held in cages in the United States.

Accountant with bingo gambling habit jailed for £1.4 million theft from Chesterfield bosses
A gambling addicted account manager stole over £1.4 million from her Chesterfield employers by creating fake invoices with her own bank details on them.
Karen Brailsford, 53, pilfered the money over the course of nearly nine years - between March 2012 and February 2021 – while working for Urban Design and Development Limited (UDDL).
A court heard she spent £298,000 on a gambling website, £44,000 on caravan holiday homes and sent over £165,000 to family and friends.
Brailsford, who was employed from April 2011 stole £300,000 in 2017, £279,000 in 2020 and other amounts during some years of up to £179,000 and £140,000.
Most Popular
Evidence showed money was paid into some 11 Natwest bank accounts.
The court heard the defendant, who earned £21,000 a year, was given the responsibilities and trust of a finance manager.
Prosecutor Philip Plant described how the defendant would scan invoices she found lying around and change payment details to her own bank accounts.
However, as the fraud continued she “no longer bothered” with false invoices and simply created duplicate payments on the firm’s banking system.
Of the £1,419,363 stolen, she had returned just £71,309 to the firm – which supplies building products for homes such as doors and windows.
Telling how Brailsford’s fraud finally came to light, prosecutor Mr Plant said: “In February 2021 the defendant sent an email from her personal account to one of the company’s suppliers, requesting a return.
"She indicated a false payment had been made and requested the money be returned. When the defendant requested the return the bank details were her own.”
However a concerned employee at the supplier firm contacted UDDL and a review into the transaction began.
Mr Plant said: "The following morning the defendant was spoken to by directors – she claimed to be bewildered and to know nothing about it.”
However, following further questions Brailsford confessed, adding “she had been stealing from them for some time”.
Brailsford was summarily dismissed and escorted from the building.
During a police interview she told police she had a “gambling habit” and used the money to supplement it.
UDDL’s Patrick Dawson said in a statement read out to court that Brailsford, described as a “nice person” if a little “rough-cut” had been thought of as a “loyal employee”.
He said: “We questioned how it could have happened”.
Reading from the statement, Mr Plant, who had attended Brailsford’s wedding, said: “The defendant worked closely with people in accounts – they were upset and disbelieving."
Mr Dawson said fellow employees may have been denied bonuses due to the financial loss, while others feared the finger would be pointed at them.
Brailsford’s defending barrister Nicola Hornby, said her client – a mother – had shown clear evidence of remorse. She said Brailsford fell into the habit of gambling heavily at Bingo and on gambling machines, which was fuelled by depression.
Brailsford, of Whitehall Road, Wingfield, Rotherham, admitted fraud by abuse of position. She was jailed for four years and eight months.
Judge Tim Spruce said: "For approximately 10 years you acted effectively as finance manager – your salary was not one reflective of a finance director. But the reality is you had all key financial controls such as invoice payments and setting up new accounts. You were trusted with those responsibilities whether or not it was above your pay grade.
“Over a period of almost nine years you exploited that trust and exploited that responsibility to perpetrate a fraud in excess of £1.4 million. The methods employed by you were not unsophisticated and were designed to avoid detection.
"It suggests you gave thought and planning into how the fraud would go undetected. Employees were potentially deprived of bonuses or brought under suspicion by proximity to your dishonesty.”

Man United to reduce spending in upcoming transfer windows
MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Manchester United is set to reduce its activity in the transfer market in upcoming windows, one of the club´s senior executives said on Thursday, following an overhaul of the squad after the arrival of new manager Erik ten Hag.
United was one of the biggest spenders in Europe in the summer transfer window, with an outlay approaching $250 million on players including Antony, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez.
The record 20-time English champions reported a net loss of 115.5 million pounds ($130 million) for the 2021-22 season, with the net debt under their unpopular owners - Glazer family - rising 95.4 million pounds ($107.5 million) to 514.9 million pounds ($580 million). That´s an increase of 22%.
The influx of new players is starting to take effect, with United winning its last four English Premier League games after opening with back-to-back losses that put Ten Hag under some pressure.
"We will continue to support Erik in ensuring he has players with the right quality and characters to achieve success, while ensuring that investment remains consistent with our commitment to financial sustainability," John Murtough, United´s football director, said on a call to investors.
"Overall, we are ahead of schedule in our recruitment plans as envisaged at the start of the summer, and we do not anticipate the same level of activity in future windows."

United chief financial officer Cliff Baty said the club´s financial results were adversely affected by the absence of a summer tour in July 2021 and the impact of the weakening of the pound on some non-cash finance costs.
United´s revenues rose by 18%, to 583 million pounds ($657 million). Baty said the club expects to have revenues of 580-600 million pounds ($655-677 million) for the next financial year despite the team being in the Europa League this season and not the more lucrative Champions League.
Following the signings in 2021 of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, United´s wage bill rose by 19.1% to 384.2 million pounds ($433.6 million) - the highest in the Premier League according to the latest figures released by clubs.
Payoffs to managers Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was fired in November, and Ralf Rangnick, who replaced Solskjaer on an interim basis and then did not take up a two-year consultancy role at the end of the season, and their associated coaching staff contributed to the cost of "exceptional items" amounting to 24.7 million pounds ($27.9 million).

Cumbria break-ins: Serial burglar jailed after targeting vulnerable
- Published
A serial burglar who broke into an elderly woman's home as she slept while her niece watched on via CCTV more than 100 miles away has been jailed.
John Donakey committed a string of offences in Penrith and Kendal.
Carlisle Crown Court heard the 57-year-old targeted areas and properties where there were "particularly vulnerable and elderly occupants".
He admitted nine charges of burglary and one count of going equipped for burglary and was jailed for four years.
Prosecutor Kim Whittlestone said Donakey, who has burglary convictions dating back to the 1970s, was "bold enough" to revisit the same streets and properties over a course of days, "clearly seeing some of his victims as easy targets".
RAF medal among haul
Donakey, of Bexhill Gardens, St Helens, was disturbed by occupants after sneaking into two Kendal homes a week apart in July 2018.
In October 2020, he entered a house in Penrith while an elderly occupant's son was cooking.
The son was preparing food with a knife when he heard a noise and found Donakey in a bedroom, the court heard.
"There was a struggle with the owner and he cut his hand on the knife," Ms Whittlestone said.
"The police were called and the defendant was subsequently identified by his DNA."
More offences occurred in the town in late June 2022.
Carrying a M&S picnic bag, Donakey entered the home of a frail man but left when challenged.
Three days later, he stole binoculars from another property.
In between Donakey entered other homes, one where a very elderly dementia sufferer was asleep in an armchair.
Her niece watched him on CCTV from her home in Cheshire and, as he rifled through drawers, she called the police.
During the subsequent investigation, Donakey was spotted on a host of doorbell CCTV recordings.
Loot including jewellery and an RAF medal - whose owner remains unknown - was found in his car.

One victim spoke of being left anxious and "constantly on edge", while another called Donakey an "awful man".
The niece who watched Donakey carry out the crime said her aunt was "really worried and scared" it might happen again.
Sentencing, Judge Simon Medland KC said Donakey - whose carried out his first burglary in 1978 aged just 13 - had shown a "casual confidence" while going about his offending.
"These were mean offences, cruel offences and greedy offences, aggravated by the vulnerability of your victims who you must have targeted in order to take advantage of that," he said.

Kamlu Vetti, recruited by Maoists at the age of 12, had to get a vasectomy a decade later when he got married. For Maoist cadres, this is compulsory, he said. The perception is that childcare will prove a distraction and the movement will suffer. After surrender last year, he availed the government offer of free reverse vasectomy operation and the couple are now expecting a baby.
In an interview to NDTV, Kamlu Vetti, 27, said he became a victim of Salwa Judum after his village was burnt in 2006. A year later, then area commander Hareram and Vasanti insisted they all join the movement. They were the ones who insisted that he undergo the compulsory vasectomy when he wanted to get married.
He got married in 2017. But before that he had undergone compulsory vasectomy at the age of 22.
"When we told our leaders that we wanted to get married, they said, 'Yes, but only after vasectomy'. I decided to surrender because now we don't get support from villagers, or food... After surrendering, we wanted to have kids. That's why I got a reversal of vasectomy done," he told NDTV.
Mr Vetti said Maoist leaders believe that childbirth and subsequent childcare will be a hurdle for the movement. They fear that the couples might return to their villages to raise the children. So if any of the cadres get married, vasectomy is compulsory.
Life in the organisation was hard, especially for tribals, Kamlu Vetti recounted.
The local tribal cadres in Bastar are subjected to hardship and harassment by the senior Maoist leadership, especially ones who speak Telugu.
Being in a leadership role, they force the tribals from Bastar to fight in the frontline.
A junior-level office bearer from Kerlapal who did not wish to be named, said, "Local cadres are compelled to undergo vasectomy operations whereas top Maoist leaders have a normal family life and children".
"I want my wife and daughter back. I am separated from them," added the man whose family is still living in a Maoist camp.
Sunil Sharma, Superintendent of police Sukma, said: "The rebel cadres had to undergo vasectomy as it is a precondition for marriage in the rebel camp. But now, as per the surrender policy of the government, reverse vasectomy is offered free of cost for surrendered Maoists at hospitals in Raipur".
Asked about the family of the former area committee secretary, he said, "We are planning a special operation, so he can get back to his wife and daughter".

Florida middle school math teacher is fired after he put students in chokeholds and gave them cruel nicknames like 'four-eyes,' 'Oompa Loompa' and 'Beavis'
- Victor Lopez, 49, of Boynton Beach, was fired on Wednesday after an investigation found he had behaved 'inappropriately' with 16 students
- He allegedly flicked and shoved students, putting them into chokeholds, and called them names
- He started at Loggers' Run Middle School in September and has worked for the district for 16 years
- Lopez told an HR manager that the only thing he 'should be questioned on is my sarcasm' and that he made the conscious effort to make sure 'students felt safe'
- The teacher did admit to investigators that he used yardsticks against students, but claimed he only 'tapped' them, not hurt them
- He also reportedly grabbed a female student forcibly by the back of the neck when she choose to use a bathroom farther away from the classroom
A Florida middle school math teacher was fired after he grabbed students in chokeholds and giving them cruel nicknames, such as 'four-eyes,' 'Oompa Loompa,' and 'Beavis.'
Victor Lopez, 49, of Boynton Beach, was fired from Loggers' Run Middle School on Wednesday after an investigation found he had behaved 'inappropriately' with 16 students.
Twelve of the 16 students reported he had engaged in inappropriate physical contact, WPTV reported. Eight out of the 16 students were also reportedly receiving end of inappropriate comments or jokes they didn't find funny.
The teacher started at the school in September.
Lopez - who has worked for the district for 16 years without incident - has been put on an unpaid suspension and will be officially terminated on October 18 if he doesn't appeal in writing.
The investigation started around September 1 after a student complained to his mother that Lopez had pulled his ear in class in late August, according to The Palm Beach Post.
He also reportedly showed his mother a video of Lopez hitting the student in the arm with a yardstick, the Post reported.
Within days of reporting the incident, the school police were able to identify three other victims who had been hit with a yardstick by Lopez.
Victor Lopez, 49, of Boynton Beach, was fired on Wednesday after an investigation found he had behaved 'inappropriately' with 16 students by flicking and shoving them, putting them into chokeholds, and calling them names. He has worked in the school district for 16 years
He allegedly called many students cruel names, including Four-Eyes, Oompa Loompas, Beavis, Oprah, and Will Smith, the investigation report said
He told an HR manager that the only thing he 'should be questioned on is my sarcasm'
The student had started recording the interaction with Lopez on his school-issued laptop because he anticipated the slap when he told his teacher hadn't finished the homework, he told investigators. He said he was embarrassed by the interaction.
The student also told authorities that Lopez often did this and said the yardstick with blue tape on the end was used to hit students.
Lopez was described as 'aggressively "tapping" [the student] on the inner arm, then immediately "tapping" him a little lighter in the upper arm.'
Another student told investigators that he ran away from his seat when he saw the teacher approaching him with a raised ruler because he has 'seen Lopez hit other students with the ruler and he was scared.'
A different student said Lopez struck him after he translated for Portuguese-speaking students, because 'Lopez thinks they are socializing.' The same student also said he was hit twice in the leg with a ruler for answering a question wrong.
The math teacher admitted to investigators that he did use a yardstick in his class, but said he only 'tapped' them with it, according to the investigation report, viewed by The Palm Beach Post.
In addition, he allegedly grabbed a female student forcibly by the back of the neck on August 31, which a colleague reported, according to the Post.
The interaction, which was reportedly caught on surveillance footage, showed Lopez dropping his hand when the other teacher appeared.
The student told investigators that Lopez was mad at her because she had chosen to use the restroom at a farther bathroom and when she attempted to explain why he told her to 'shut up,' the Post reported.
He then reportedly grabbed her by the neck and walked her to a closer bathroom.
Although she was injured, she said his grip 'hurt a little.' She also said she saw Lopez hitting her classmates at times and said it happened when he was angry or just joking.
The school board (pictured) gave him an unpaid suspension and he will be officially terminated on October 15 if he does not appeal the decision
Law enforcement charged him with battery for the incidents, but the State Attorney's Office declined to prosecute, The Palm Beach Post reported.
In a June 11 email, Lopez wrote to an HR representative: 'Honestly, the only thing I should be questioned on is my sarcasm.
'The difference this year is that I made the conscious effort to use methods that would make sure students felt safe, cared for and that I created an atmosphere where kids really wanted to learn...with an authentic feel to it.'
DailyMail.com has attempted to contact Lopez for comment. It is unclear if he plans to appeal the school board's decision.

Unboxed festival: Watchdog urged to investigate £120m 'waste of money'
By Katie Razzall
Culture editor
- Published
The chair of an influential parliamentary committee has called for an investigation into an arts festival that has cost taxpayers £120m.
Unboxed was announced in 2018 by then Prime Minister Theresa May and was soon dubbed the Festival of Brexit.
In a letter to the National Audit Office (NAO), Conservative MP Julian Knight called it an "excessive waste of money during a cost of living crisis".
But Unboxed chief Martin Green said it was "absolutely value for money".
Unboxed is an ongoing project that describes itself as a "once-in-a-lifetime celebration of creativity across the UK".
Ahead of the opening of See Monster, the latest Unboxed venture that has seen an old North Sea gas platform installed in a former lido in Weston-super-Mare, Mr Green told the BBC it was a "big and bold and ambitious" programme.
He claimed Unboxed had done "exactly what the government asked us to do", with a legacy of investment in jobs during the pandemic and pioneering creativity that will endure.
But in his letter, Mr Knight called the festival a "fiasco in the making". Speaking to the BBC, he said "questions need to be answered about how this was allowed to happen".
He added: "These decisions are signed off by politicians so therefore politicians need to take the blame."
At £120m, Unboxed cost four times what the taxpayer spent on the Platinum Jubilee. Even before it opened, a report from Mr Knight's digital, culture, media and sport select committee deemed it "an irresponsible use of public money" and a "recipe for failure".
His letter to the NAO, the UK's independent public spending watchdog, has increased the pressure on the festival.
Learn the lessons
"I'm calling for an NAO investigation to ensure we see what has happened, why it is that this money has been spent in this way and then we also learn the lessons for the future," he said.
"We saw the warning signs… and the fact is this has been potentially a monumental waste of money and has had little impact in the country as a whole."
Unboxed organisers have not yet released official visitor numbers, but Mr Green told me they will do so once they are verified later next month. A report in parliament's The House magazine in August claimed 238,000 people had visited, a fraction of the ambitious "stretch target" of 66 million the festival had suggested might get involved.
The article said the the government had released figures for four Unboxed events. It said 120,000 people had watched the opening project About Us, while had 60,000 walked the trails in Northern Ireland and Cambridge of Our Place in Space, a journey through the solar system.
Another 14,000 reportedly attended the kaleidoscopic experience Dreammachine, and 44,000 went to Dandelion, a grow-your-own food initiative across Scotland.
At the time, Mr Knight said his committee had sounded the alarm about a project "with such a vague vision and nebulous name" which "seemed doomed to failure". The lack of interest from the public was a "damning indictment", he said.
However, Mr Green told me the 238,000 figure was incorrect and applied to eight individual events of the "hundreds we have done in hundreds of places".
He claimed that "millions" of people had engaged with Unboxed in person, and that he was "very confident" the festival would hit its visitor targets. He said the Our Place in Space project had achieved 300,000 in-person engagements and 200,000 digitally.
He added that the 66 million stretch target included everyone visiting in person; seeing it, for example on a forthcoming episode of BBC One's Countryfile; and "anyone who engages with it digitally and sees it around the world".
Mr Green isn't used to sustained criticism. The enthusiastic chief creative officer of Unboxed has many successes to trumpet, not least the celebrated 2012 Olympic ceremonies and Hull's year as City of Culture in 2017.
But critics say it would have been better if Unboxed had been left in its box.
The festival's latest venture, See Monster, is an art installation and a conversation about the environment.
The 35m (115ft) structure looms over the beach at Weston and consists of a series of yellow steel-framed platforms that were once used to extract gas from deep in the North Sea.
A waterfall gushes from one of its levels, mist creates a cloud formation on another, and the platform is covered in plants that are watered by wind and solar power generated on the structure itself.
It's the ninth of 10 Unboxed projects that have taken place around the UK in what is termed a coming together of science, technology, engineering, the arts and maths.
As he showed me around the rig ahead of its opening on Saturday, Mr Green said the point of See Monster was "to take something that took from the earth and ask it to give back". For the first time, he said, a rig has been repurposed instead of scrapped, and British expertise will be shared across the world.
On the seafront in Weston, with the rig now an obvious landmark until November, most of the passers-by I spoke to had never heard of Unboxed.
They were more positive about See Monster, which had been due to open to visitors earlier in the summer, but was delayed.
Local pensioner Mike Petrie said he was "really impressed" by the structure, though "a bit disappointed for all the holiday makers and all the school children who missed it".
Another resident of the North Somerset town, Jan Brady, thought See Monster was "wonderful". She said she had tried to visit a few times but understood "with projects of this size, with what we've all been through, delays happen".
Lucy West, on holiday with her husband from Oxfordshire, said she would "like to see them repurpose it and continue using it after all the money that's been poured into it".
See Monster creative director Patrick O'Mahony's company Newsubstance was also behind the celebrated drones that formed the lit-up corgi above Buckingham Palace for the Platinum Jubilee.
Mr O'Mahony told me the team had to navigate legislative and technical hurdles to get the platform to Weston and it was "always going to be difficult".
"We are slightly later than we hoped for, but we are here," he said. "We are the first people in the world ever to take a structure like this and use it for arts and culture."
Unboxed will continue for another two months, and while the festival may be coming under political pressure, many will be reluctant to judge the project's success or failure until after it has concluded in November.

Edoardo and Carlo Fragale are very proud of their company's rich heritage.
Their father, Paul Fragale, emigrated from Italy in 1964. He established Fragale Building Corporation in 1971 and incorporated the company in 1992.
When Paul founded the company, it had a primary focus on the masonry trade, which he had learned from his father, Paolo Fragale, in his hometown of Calabria, Italy. During the company's humble beginnings, Paul would work doing construction during the days and then as a dishwasher at night. Edoardo and Carlo joined their father's company after completing their college educations.
Most of the work that the company does falls primarily into one of two categories: masonry or excavation. Edoardo focuses his energies on the masonry side of the company while Carlo focuses on the excavation and civil side of the business. The vast majority of the company's work is in the metro Boston area, and for the past decade or so, much of their work has been in the building segment of the market.
Today, Fragale Building Corporation has diversified its business supplying services at every phase of the building process, adding construction management services, excavation, landscape design and a sister company — Eastern Mass Crushing — which does custom mobile crushing and recycling. They operate today with 20 to 25 employees.
Fragale recently worked on a project located in an upscale historical community in Newton, Mass. Because the homes in the community are deemed historical, building a new home is virtually impossible and reconditioning an existing home is uniquely regulated. In this particular case, a home that was built in the 1800s has been completely torn down except for the bare structure of three original walls and the original roof line. The local zoning rules dictate that you leave three original walls in place but you can do virtually anything you want building and expanding off the home's original footprint.
In the case of this home, an addition is being added to the side of the home, along with a lower-level garage. The structure that was originally approximately 2,800 sq. ft. will exceed 6,000 sq. ft. when completed.
Fragale Building's responsibilities on this project include all the site work, foundation work, civil engineering work, water and sewer drainage and the construction of a pool house for the swimming pool that will be a part of the completed project, along with all the hardscape work.
The terrain of the property has a downhill grade from front to back. The original basement of the home was 7-1/2-ft. Fragale has excavated out the original basement and has excavated in tiers the area of new construction with terraced levels of foundation in a manner that the basement area of the new structure will have a 10-ft. ceiling. To do that, the existing floor and corners had to be jacked up prior to full demolition. After putting shoring staging in place, new concrete walls were poured against the existing walls. Crews then jackhammered out the old wall, lowered the building back into place and demolished the rest of the house.
A significant part of the project is an extensive drainage field, which collects the runoff water from the driveway, as well as water from the courtyard. The overall drainage for the property includes (32) 4x4 galleys. All roof leaders run into a maze of 8-in. ADS N-12.
Most of the earthmoving equipment fleet owned by Fragale Building is made up of Doosan machines purchased from Equipment East. "We started working with Dan Clifford at Equipment East early on when we first started looking at expanding our excavating business," Carlo Fragale said. "Dan actually showed up at one of our projects; his timing was perfect, and he got us to try a Doosan DX225 excavator."
"We were thrilled with that machine and soon after we asked him to send us a DX235 zero tailswing machine that we purchased shortly after," Carlo added. "Transitioning to doing business with a smaller dealership and the Doosan product line was initially a tough sell for my dad. He had always done business with ‘the big guys.' Dan arranged for us to meet the owner of Equipment East, Giovanni Albanese, and that made a difference for us.
"Doing business together, one small business owner with another small business owner who was fully vested in our success just made a difference. Doosan also does a tremendous job putting together the financial packages to make the financing work for us.
"Every time we have shopped the financing, Doosan has been much better than anyone else's. Specifically, great lease programs with great buyouts at the end of the lease. Currently, we own Doosan DX235, DX225, DX140, DX85 and DX63 excavators. We also own two Doosan DL220 loaders."
In addition to the Doosan equipment, Fragale Building has purchased a Wacker Neuson tracked loader, two Wacker Neuson rollers and three Ramfos hammers from Equipment East.
"Once we made the decision to grow with Equipment East, we really have never looked back," Carlo said. "Our business has experienced tremendous growth and we have watched their business grow from a single location to three locations. I know when I pick up the phone and need them, they are almost immediately here. As an example, we were working on a project at Endicott College, and we had a machine blow a pressure relief valve. I put a call in to Dan and literally within 45 minutes they were on our site with the part we needed, and we were back to work shortly thereafter."

Parade and parties over, Avs focus on Stanley Cup defense
DENVER (AP) - Erik Johnson just didn´t have enough hours in the day for all of the plans he had for his new companion, the Stanley Cup.
The veteran Colorado defenseman made the rounds the best he could this month as he celebrated the Avalanche´s first title since 2001. For starters, there were the brunch-time cocktails ( Bloody Mary's featuring celery sticks and donut pieces ) out of the Cup, followed by taking the trophy for a Slip ´N Slide ride in the backyard. He showed it off to Colorado fans (the Cup got to hang out of a sunroof) before visiting an animal clinic. Then, he jetted off to California to display it at the Del Mar Racetrack, where it even got to meet the NBA championship trophy.
"By the time I got to my party ... I looked and it was 11 (p.m.), and had an hour left with the Cup," Johnson cracked on the eve of training camp. "I just want to do it again."
Not an easy assignment, though. The Avalanche return from their fun-loving, Cup-hoisting summer adventures knowing this: Staying at hockey´s mountaintop may prove even more difficult than reaching that summit. There have been two teams to repeat in the cap era that began in 2005 - Tampa Bay (´20, ´21) and Pittsburgh (´16, ´17).
"If you win, you remember the success at the end of the year and it´s easy to forget just how hard it was to get there and all the sacrifices you have to make as a team," explained coach Jared Bednar, whose team dethroned the Lightning in six games. "It´s a long, tough road and our guys are going to have to be willing to climb the mountain again and do all the right things because we´re starting fresh."
With some new faces, too.

Like goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who was acquired in a trade with the New York Rangers and will step in for Darcy Kuemper ( now in Washington ). There´s also, Evan Rodrigues, who signed a one-year deal to help the team fill the void of losing Nazem Kadri in free agency to Calgary.
But the pillars remain in place with Mikko Rantanen, Stanley Cup playoff MVP Cale Makar, captain Gabriel Landeskog and fast-skating, hard-shooting forward Nathan MacKinnon. Just before camp, the 27-year-old MacKinnon signed an eight-year contract worth $100.8 million.
"He´s been the guy driving our team for a long time and couldn´t be happier for him," Landeskog said. "It´s super well-deserved."
Johnson quickly added: "Now we can all focus on my extension."
There was some thought the 34-year-old Johnson might give consideration hanging it up on the high note. After all, this was a tough moment to top: Receiving the Cup from good friend Landeskog on the ice in Tampa. It was the best experience of his life, Johnson said.
"Honestly, I was thinking after we won and some of the dust settled, `How am I going to get ready to play this year? How do you do this again?´" said Johnson, a former No. 1 pick traded by St. Louis to Colorado in 2011. "Then as the summer was sort of ramping back up, I was just like, `I´m so ready to start again.´ I really haven´t been more excited for a season in maybe forever."
For the last few seasons, the Avalanche have been driven by second-round exits. In 2020, the Avalanche lost in Game 7 to Dallas. In 2021, there was a bitter loss to a hard-hitting Vegas team. All of that fueled the Avalanche in their run to this title, where they went 16-4 along the way.
The fuel now is different - keeping the Cup.
"It´s the itch and the will to win again," defenseman Devon Toews said. "We felt what it feels like and it´s a pretty good feeling for sure."
NOTES: Bednar said Valeri Nichushkin (foot) is back skating, but won't be a full participant to start training camp. ... Darren Helm (lower body), Landeskog (lower body) and Josh Manson (personal) were not expected on the ice to start camp. ... Rodrigues will wear jersey No. 9 for Colorado. ... Center Alex Galchenyuk is in camp on a professional tryout deal. He has 146 career goals over 643 games. He played last season with Arizona.

Conservative group files legal complaint against Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla for 'pumping $500m into swing states to help Biden win 2020 election, using ex-Obama staffer and tax-exempt voting rights groups'
- A conservative think tank has filed a legal complaint against Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan
- Organization claims that Chan and Zuckerberg used donated money to attempt to sway the 2020 presidential election in now President Joe Biden's favor
- Center for Renewing America, the group that filed the complaints, allege that Zuckerberg hired a former Obama staffer to execute the scheme
- News of the complaints come just hours after it was reported that former President Donald Trump could return to Facebook in 2023
A conservative think tank has filed a legal complaint against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan over allegations they spent $500 million to help Joe Biden win the 2020 election.
Chan and Zuckerberg are cited in one of two complaints filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the Center for Renewing America (CRA), a conservative nonprofit run by former deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought.
According to FOX Business, the complaints filed with the IRS allege that the high ranking Facebook officials attempted to sway the 2020 presidential election in favor of now President Joe Biden with $500 million funneled through nonprofit, tax-exempt voting rights groups.
CRA says the donations should have been eligible for taxation, because they were used for electioneering.
CRA also filed a second complaints against the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) and National Vote at Home Institute (NVAHI), claiming that they played a major role in the scheme to help now President Biden win the vote.

The complaints go on to argue that Zuckerberg hired former campaign manager for President Barack Obama, David Plouffe, to execute the scheme.
CRA believes that Chan and Zuckerberg created major million dollar grants and that Plouffe sent the money to democratic-leaning areas in swing states.
The think tank also alleges that Plouffe used the three nonprofit organizations to help pull off the plan.
Those are tax exempt, with the CRA saying that exemption was improper in the case of the grants, and that tax should have been paid on the donations, given the purpose they were allegedly used for.
In a statement shared with FOX Business, CRA said that Chan and Zuckerberg 'disguised the political nature of their donations' and called the alleged situation 'disgraceful.'

"It is beyond disgraceful to imagine federal taxpayers subsidizing the partisan preferences of billionaires who easily could have given to a Democrat super PAC in 2020," the think tank said in their statement.
"But, of course, then they would not have been able to take a tax deduction, so they disguised the political nature of their donations and shuffled them through 'charitable' intermediaries, making ordinary Americans foot the bill," the CRA continued.
Vought, who was appointed to the position by then President Donald Trump, was endorsed by the one term president after announcing the launch of the organization.
"Russell Vought did a fabulous job in my administration, and I have no doubt he will do a great job in continuing our quest to make America great again," Trump said in a statement released in 2021.
Former President Donald Trump, who was kicked off Instagram and Facebook in June 2021
The news comes just hours after Semafor Media broke a story claiming that Trump, who has been banned on Meta-owned sites, could return to Facebook and Instagram once his two year suspension ends.
Former President Trump was taken off of the apps in June 2021 after an investigation into whether his posts ignited the deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection at the United States Capitol.
Nick Clegg, president of global affairs for Facebook parent company Meta, recently spoke with Semafor Media at an event in Washington, D.C., in which he said that the company will evaluate the situation before making a decision.
“If we think there is is content on our platform which will lead to real-world harm — physical harm — then we feel we have a clear responsibility to act against it.” Clegg said.

In filing their complaints, CRA hopes that their claims will prompt further investigation into Chan and Zuckerberg, as well as the nonprofits.
"We leave to the Service to determine whether there is enough evidence to sustain a criminal investigation into Chan or Zuckerberg for tax fraud," the CRA complaint stated, according to FOX Business.
"Nevertheless, at the very least, it is incumbent upon the IRS to recoup what is likely a false tax deduction on a roughly hundred-million-dollar order of magnitude: an unlawful taxpayer subsidy running to support Democrat electioneering purposes."

U.S. FTC rejects Amazon bid to quash Bezos, Jassy testimony
WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday rejected a bid by Amazon.com Inc AMZN.O to quash demands that both Chief Executive Andy Jassy and Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos testify at an investigative hearing.
Last month, Amazon questioned what it called the agency's "burdensome" requests in its investigation of the sign-up and cancellation processes for its Prime program. The FTC said Amazon.com must comply with broad June 30 Civil Investigative Demand no later than Oct. 7.

MADDOCK, N.D. -- A woman who brought a wild raccoon into a North Dakota bar, which prompted state health officials to issue a warning about potential rabies exposure, is facing criminal charges.
Erin Christensen, 38, of Maddock, is charged with misdemeanor counts of providing false information to law enforcement, tampering with physical evidence and unlawful possession of furbearers.
Christensen was arrested last week after authorities found her and the raccoon by serving several search warrants in and around Maddock.
Christensen said her family found the raccoon on the side of a road about three months ago and named it Rocky. She said they were nursing the animal back to health with plans to release it back into the wild.
It’s illegal under North Dakota Board of Animal Health laws to keep a wild raccoon. Authorities euthanized the animal, and it tested negative for rabies.
Christensen took Rocky to Maddock Bar on Sept. 6 during happy hour and showed the raccoon to customers. Bartender Cindy Smith said the animal never bit anyone at the bar.
Nevertheless, North Dakota’s Health and Human Services Department issued a warning asking anyone who may have been bitten or had contact with the raccoon’s saliva to seek medical care.
“It’s unfair and too much was done to detain an innocent raccoon," Christensen said in a Wednesday statement to the Bismarck Tribune. "They were not worried about the health of us if we had rabies or not. They were worried about finding and killing Rocky and putting me behind bars.”
The charges against Christensen carry a maximum punishment of about two years in jail and $7,500 in fines. Her initial court appearance is set for Monday.
Maddock is town of about 500 people located about 85 miles (137 kilometers) from the Canadian border.

KK Talwar
Former Director, PGIMER
IN the field of medicine and healthcare, we have come a long way since Independence. The governments, both at the Centre and in the states, are making efforts to provide affordable care at all levels. We now have world-class medical expertise and take pride in being a tourism hub for healthcare. Patients from Central Asian, African and South Asian countries come with the confidence of getting quality healthcare at a cost that is cheaper than in the West.
But the one thing which should make us introspect is that in the last 75 years, we have never got even a nomination for the Nobel Prize in medicine. While we are in competition with China for economic growth, what about that in medical research growth? A Chinese medical scientist, Tu Youyou, shared the Nobel Prize in medicine in 2015. When will we achieve this distinction? Of course, we know that one Indian and three persons of Indian birth and origin who subsequently acquired foreign citizenship have won the Nobel Prize in science.
What we lack is not talent but the necessary environment, infrastructure and incentives for quality research and innovation. The Prime Minister, while addressing the 42nd convocation of AIIMS in New Delhi, said that India is lagging in the field of medical research and more work should be done. It is important to promote an environment of research in major medical institutes and emphasise its national importance.
Unfortunately, the quality of research being conducted in most medical colleges is dismal and there is data to show that there are some colleges that have not published even a single paper in a peer-reviewed journal. Even from leading medical institutes, though there are a good number of research publications, it is certainly not encouraging to note that 90 per cent of these publications have less than 25 citations. Thus, it is not only important to do research but also look at the quality of research. Most publications have been follow-ups of some research work going on in Europe or the US.
We need to inculcate a habit of original thinking and innovation in our youngsters. Recently, while inaugurating a science conclave, the PM mentioned that inclination towards science, technology and innovation was in the DNA of our youth and we need to support them with full strength. We, thus, need to consider how to promote good quality research.
First, training in research methodology is important; it is somewhat lacking at present. As a result, residents and even faculty members are unable to analyse the research work. The residents should be encouraged to do research projects and produce a good publication and they should be counted for selection to faculty positions as an incentive for research promotion.
Further, there is a lack of communication and collaboration between clinical and basic scientists over doing good research. This results in a lot of meaningless research. An environment of a 'positive research' culture must be fostered in the medical colleges and institutes. It helps in exploring ideas, making mistakes and learning from them; it teaches openness and integrity. The environment should encourage the youngsters to aim for the stars and dream big.
The medical colleges should be encouraged to collaborate with other basic medical science institutes from the ICMR, DST CSIR and even biomedical institutes like the IITs. Such relations will promote problem-oriented and translational research.
The industry, both pharmaceutical and biomedical, should promote and invest in producing new drug molecules and biomedical materials for medical use.
We need to integrate with our indigenous ayurvedic system to evaluate our ancient knowledge in a scientific manner to prove its usefulness. Tu Youyou was tasked by Mao Zedong to find a cure for malaria that was killing many soldiers. After long research and using her knowledge of the ancient Chinese text and clinical tests, she created a drug, artemisinin, which helped bring down cases of malaria. It shows that traditional and clinical research can complement each other if scientific methods are used.
At the same time, some high-quality research work has been done in the medical field, which we should be proud of. India has contributed significantly to the identification of iodine deficiency disorders; it showed that iodised salt significantly reduces the incidence of iodine deficiency disorders. The commercially available iodised salt has been possible because of this research. If a pinch of salt has kept iodine deficiency at bay, we have our researchers to thank for it.
Another work of significance is the discovery of the cholera toxin by Dr Sambhu Nath De. It has found a mention in the prestigious journal, Nature, and of which the Nobel laureate, Prof Joshua Lederberg, said, “De’s clinical observation led him to the bold thought that dehydration was a sufficient cause of pathology of cholera that the cholera toxins could kill merely by stimulating the secretion of water into the bowel." De's research became the basis for the current most life-saving recommendation in diarrhoea: the use of oral rehydration therapy (ORT).
Ironically, the seminal research of De, done entirely in India, was first recognised abroad and only after that did the Indian medical community praise him to the sky. We need to learn to be proud and appreciate the achievements of our scientists. Besides the demonstration of ORT, research by the National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases showed that common household drinks like nimbu pani, coconut water and rice water are equally effective as oral rehydration solutions in preventing diarrhoea-related mortality and are more palatable.
Indian scientists’ contribution in the treatment of tuberculosis and leprosy has also been significant. Their role in developing the Covid vaccine has also been a great success story. We need to be proud and appreciate the achievements of our scientists.
It is time to promote and create attractive incentives for good medical research. That is the only way to generate interest in the younger generation for pursuing research activities. The research contribution of a doctor/scientist should be an important criterion for faculty jobs in medical colleges.
The PM has hailed the importance of research by announcing ‘Jai Anusandhan’ and adding it to the mantra of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan and Jai Vigyan’. Let us now strengthen our efforts and aim for a Nobel in medicine.

The actress took to the story section of her Instagram to share the news with her followers. Sharing the certificate of the honour, she wrote on the picture: "Grateful and honoured to receive the Smita Patil Memorial Award. Thank You to everyone (heart emoji)."
Established in 1986 by the Priyadarshni Academy in memory of actress Smita Patil, the Smita Patil Memorial Award is awarded to an Indian actress for her contribution to Indian cinema in the period prior to the ceremony, irrespective of a particular performance. Till 1994, the award was conferred every year to the actresses. However, since 1994 the committee has been conferring the honour upon the actresses once every two years.
In the past, actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi, Tabu, Manisha Koirala, Urmila Matondkar and Kareena Kapoor Khan have been honoured with the award. The award committee drew flak in 2016 when it feted Bollywood star Katrina Kaif with the award as certain sections of media and general populace felt that the actress was undeserving of the honour.
Taapsee Pannu was the last actress to be feted with the honour before Alia back in 2020.

Solan,September 19
The Urban Development Department (UDD) has once again been entrusted the much-hyped Transport Nagar project in Solan, following a September 5 Cabinet decision. The project has failed to make any progress as it has been transferred from one department to the another in the last four and a half years after various Cabinet decisions.
This project was supposed to rehabilitate 269 people operating and working in the motor repair shops located at Chambaghat on the Solan-Shimla highway. They were displaced following the four-laning of the highway in 2018.
Dheeraj Sood, who heads the Maa Durga Motor Market Association, said they had been “scattered” at various place in the precincts of Solan like Ghatti, Deonghat, Shamti, Basal, etc in the absence of a suitable place. This is posing problems for motorists who have to visit various places to get their vehicles repaired.
“I had to shift three times in the last four years as no appropriate place has been found. Each time I set up a shop, it had to be dismantled after a few months owing to the widening of the highway. Unless all shops are housed in one locality, it is difficult to thrive as various works are carried out by different mechanics located in various parts of the city,” said Dheeraj Sood. They have little hope of the facility being developed despite the development.
Prior to this, the project was assigned to the Transport Department (TD) on July 16, 2019, following a Cabinet decision on July 3, 2019. The work was also entrusted to the Ropeways and Rapid Transport System Development Corporation HP Limited, under the Transport Department, but in the absence of funds, it failed to make any headway.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had laid its foundation stone in April 2018. The UDD was assigned the task to execute the project and bear its cost pegged at Rs 21.22 crore. Following this, a detailed project report (DPR) was prepared and it was decided that 135 showrooms and 140 workshops would be constructed on 15,417 sq m area on the Kather bypass in Solan. However, officials refused to execute the project for the lack of funds. Even the agency which had prepared the DPR failed to be paid its dues of Rs 20 lakh.
“The budget will be sought from the state government to construct Transport Nagar at Solan. Since a detailed project report had been already prepared, we will work out the other modalities once the budget is made available,” said senior officials of the UDD.

Married At First Sight fans were left “cringing” on the latest episode of the Channel 4 series after Whitney called husband Duka by a very “bizarre” nickname.
The newlyweds have not seen eye-to-eye since they got hitched several weeks ago, with Whitney accusing Duka of not being “real” and being a “showman.”
But Whitney appeared to take it too far with fans when she labelled him by a weird new nickname and creeped out viewers.
During a sit down with the cameras, Whitney referred to Duka “The kid” several times when talking about him, instead of using his real name.
Fans took to social media to react.
“Why does Whitney persist in calling Duka "the kid "? it’s just creepy,” blasted one viewer.
A second also asked: “Whitney, the fact that you refer to Duka as "the kid" says it all.”
A third penned: “I hate Whitney so much! Here’s an idea, stop referring to him as a “kid””
