On the other hand, Senate Resolution 364 of the Senator of the Citizen Victory Movement, Ana Irma Rivera Lassén, was approved to investigate compliance with the Minimum Wage, Vacation and Sick Leave Law of Puerto Rico for the granting of sick leave by the agencies, instrumentalities and corporations to which the provisions of this Law are applicable.

“On October 21, 2021, the Committee on Human Rights and Labor Affairs held a public hearing with the purpose of collecting input on Senate Bill 489. In it, complaints arose of the continuous denial of sick leave by employers, using as a basis that the worker has exhausted another type of leave, such as maternity leave. During the public hearing, the deponents, particularly working mothers, emphasized the urgent need to retrain the ofﬁcials, supervisors and directors of the agencies of the Government of Puerto Rico on the use and granting of sick leave and any other license to which they are entitled,” the bil

of the Fourth Ordinary Session, the Senate approved Senate Bill 731 of the Vice President of the Senate, Marially González, which amends the “Law for the Prevention and Intervention with Domestic Violence” to eliminate the statute of limitations for the crime of conjugal sexual assault when the victim is under 18 years of age and the accused is over 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the crime. “In relationships, the vulnerability of victims and the silence they keep can be greater than in circumstances where there is no affection. It is urgent that these people be protected for when they decide to speak, they are protected by the special law that shelters them. The proposed amendment is necessary, because it is well known that, in our legal system, the application of penalties and the creation of crimes by analogy is prohibited, as established by the principle of legality, “cites the measure in its explanatory statement. Likewise, Senate Bill 817 was approved to amend the “Puerto Rico Vehicle and Traffic Law” in order to require the allegation of recidivism in the complaint for drunk driving. Likewise, Senate Bill 891 that proposes to integrate a new article to the Vehicle and Traffic Law of Puerto Rico, with the purpose of clarifying that people who request the permit under this article will only be obliged to prove their permanent physical condition the first time they request the permit.

Also, Senate Bill 846 of the President of the Senate, José Luis Dalmau Santiago, was approved to amend the same Law in order to eliminate the discretion of the granting of infractions not provided for by this Law. “It is necessary that any infraction and subsequent sanction with a ﬁne be explicit in the text of the Law or in the Promulgated Regulations, not that it falls on the discretion of a person,” the measure reads. Also, RCS289 was approved, which orders the Department of Transportation and Public Works and the Highway and Transportation Authority to carry out all the necessary steps to achieve the labeling of all primary, secondary and tertiary roads in Puerto Rico for the beneﬁt of all drivers.

Fontanés stressed that “there are detailed work plans, with specificity of the responsibilities and obligations of the different entities, with respect to the performance and compliance of LUMA. As I have always stated -and it is important that it be understood-, the supervision of this contract is shared, with specific roles and responsibilities for the different entities in charge. It is imperative that everyone does their part.”

Everyone must audit; that is everyone, the Energy Bureau, the Public-Private Partnerships Authority, Fortaleza itself, the Electric Power Authority, and mayors, we all have to audit and we are doing it”, Pierluisi Urrutia said.

“An official is not the one who manages Puerto Rico’s en ergy system. Oh, there are failures? So Why you don’t fire him? Because when there are failures, it is your duty to dismiss them. What is his claim in the public hearings? “I am complying with public policy.” The other official next to him, engineer Josué Colón, said that the problem, from the beginning, is with the legislation”, the Speaker continued.

The 2021-2022 work plan corresponding to the transition period includes the areas of: Operator Supervision; progress meetings; treatment of administrative expenses; access; de marcation; asset acquisition; system contracts and generation supply contracts; system remediation Plan; federal funds bidding manual; system operating principles; and others.

Governor Pedro Rafael Pierluisi Urrutia said Wednesday he will avoid getting distracted by requests for the resignation of the“ThoseFontanés.are distractions. I’m not going to be distracted.

“This all started at the NPP Convention itself when the NPP felt the heat of the party’s base asking for the departure of LUMA, and the secretary of a political convention was complaining to a cabinet official, trying to divert attention from the fact that beyond the official, it is a matter of public policy, of a bad project, a bad law, that you do not have to be an electrical expert, nor an electrical engineer or any person who manages energy systems to know that in Puerto Rico we are paying seven times more for a system that is not efficient,” saidTheHernández.Speaker sees all of this as a strategy on the NPP’s part to deviate the attention from the fact that LUMA’s not holding up its end of the bargain and that it has to go. “Here there is a strategy on the part of the Executive (on Monday) that said that this is passing the buck... I want the people of the country to be aware that public-private partnerships are a governmental structure under the umbrella of the Executive. The energy deal is a governmental structure under the umbrella of the Executive. The P3A, in this case, which in this case is one of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA,) is a structure under the umbrella of the Executive...,” he enumerated. “What are you talking about, passing the buck? The person in charge here is Pedro Pierluisi. He is the responsible one. His ministerial duty is to comply with and enforce the laws. He is not complying with it, and he is trying to throw attention away from this controversy, which is big and affects all Puerto Ricans, demonstrating his lack of empathy for the pain of the most humble people of Puerto Rico, trying to sacrifice an of ficial,” Hernández said.

The purpose of the work plans is to comply with the re quirements of the regulatory framework and allow the P3A as administrator of the contract, with the assistance of PREPA and the Energy Bureau, to supervise the performance and compli ance of PREPA and LUMA in accordance with the terms of the Operation and Maintenance agreement.

“Tatito” Hernández, said that all the controversy surrounding Fermín Fontánez’s performance as executive director of the Public-Private Partnerships Authority (P3A) can be summed up as a matter of inability on the part of the New Progressive Party (NPP) to admit that the LUMA contract was bad and they have to change public policy.

Regarding the work plan for 2022-2023, which entered into force on June 1, 2022, the executive director highlighted that “it is the same as the one for 2021-2022 already approved by the parties and is in execution. Although the draft plan for 2022-2023 has not received final approval, it continues to be executed as it is identical to the previous period. This, because we are still operating under the interim period, and the responsibilities and obligations of the different entities remain the same”.

An examination of the plans by the STAR, however, found that the document is a list of tasks assigned to each entity in charge of overseeing LUMA Energy to ensure its operations run smoothly. For instance, the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau, the energy industry regulator, is in charge of approving a system remediation plan. The work plan does not contain criteria or a checklist to measure each performance metric.

Fontanés explained that the work plans were being execut ed. The work plan for the 2020-2021 period that covered the transition period (Work Plan for T&D Front-End Transition) was approved and became effective on October 23, 2020; while the work plan for the 2021-2022 period (Work Plan for T&D Interim Period Services) became effective on June 1, 2021.

The work plan for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 for the in terim period covers the areas of: responsibilities of the owner; operator monitoring; audits; contracts; System Remediation plan; capital improvements; Integrated Resource Plan; Tariff procedures; System Operating principles; Cost per service; Government approvals; Budgets; Performance metrics and review of notifications or reports.

Fontanés said Thursday he will not resign his position as he made public the work plans used to monitor the performance of LUMA Energy, the private operator of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s (PREPA) transmission and distribution system.

“So the approach is straightforward: if he has failed, that is the executive branch’s prerogative. The Executive is keeping him there... Why? To divert attention from the real controversy, that in the next 60 days, a contract has to be extended”, the Speaker added. “Why is it so difficult to first recognize that the transaction was not functional? He is simply defending it as a matter of policy. So the approach is very simple: if they are going to fire him, they should fire him now, but they are not going to divert attention from the reality of the underlying controversy: the contract is bad, and public policy must be changed,” said Hernández.

For his part, the chairman of the House Labor Affairs Committee, Domingo Torres Garcia, said that “the implementation of the Labor Reform has not yielded the results that the FOMB assured ﬁve years ago. The Reform, promoted by the New Progressive Party administration and the FOMB, was a failed experiment”. Act 41 of 2022 restores certain labor rights eliminated in 2017, such as vacation and sick leave, the Christmas bonus, and the probationary period.

decided to request to intervene in the lawsuit ﬁled by the Fiscal Oversight and Management Board (FOMB) against the Government of Puerto Rico to challenge the validity of the Labor Reform -contemplated in Act 41 of 2022) to defend the validity of the statute.According to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rafael “Tatito” Hernández, it is “suspicious” that they have been left out of the process since “the government has three branches and you can’t put one above the other,” noting that the original lawsuit only includes the Executive.

Chamber seeks to enter into litigation to defend labor reform

“We ﬁled our response to the lawsuit (against the government), and we will continue. It is important to determine whether we are on the side of the Board or the side of the workers and we are on the side of the workers. We are doing it with actions, keeping our word,” said Hernandez, noting that if they are not allowed to enter the lawsuit as an interested party, they will request to do so as friends of the court (amicus curiae).

The San Juan Daily Star Thursday, September 8, 2022 5

On September 1, the FOMB challenged the Labor Reform (Act 41 of 2022) in the Federal Court after saying that it “would not make any more warnings to the government” regarding its refusal to set aside the statute. While the FOMB alleged that the government did not present data to justify the position that the labor reform will originate more jobs in Puerto Rico, Hernández said that “we amended the 2017 labor reform, which was framed in a completely different financial reality than today.... (the Board) has not been able to prove that this legislation affects the country’s economy or the fiscal plan. The more resources are in the hands of the citizens, the more consumption capacity increases, which has a positive impact on the country’s economy,” the Speaker said. “The document that the Board has provided, a mere PowerPoint with some references to some notes, don’t have a projection of a professional’s negative or positive impact on our society,” insisted Hernandez. “We comply with the processes to defend the position; the Board does not see it as an affirmative position, but we want that from the Chamber we can present (our arguments) with projections, and we can maintain the right of our workers,” said the Chamber leader.

Last year, a federal grand jury returned an eight-count indictment against Del Valle Colon, Santos-Estrada, and her mother Estrada-Rojas for their alleged participation in a multi-year theft, bribery, and kickback conspiracy. According to the allegations in the indictment, in early 2017, Del Valle fraudulently inflated the salaries of Santos, Estrada, and another individual for no legitimate reason. He agreed that the employees would keep a portion for themselves out of their inflated paychecks and kick back the other part, generally between approximately $500 and $2,000, to Del Valle. The defendants used a variety of means to transfer the kickbacks to Del Valle. Santos, Estrada, and the other individual would sometimes transfer cash by hand to Del Valle. They would also periodically send kickbacks in approximately $500 increments to Del Valle using ATH Móvil, a mobile phone application that allows individuals who bank at certain financial institutions to send money to each other through an interface on their cell phones

The judge also sentenced Mildred Estrada Rojas to 30 months in prison and Nickolle Santos Estrada to 46 months in jail. The two were employees in the representative’s ofﬁce. Del Valle and the two employees had pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme in March. The plea bargain agreement includes restitution of $190,000.

“We want to see the case on its merits,” Hernandez said. “The Board did not include us to be able to participate, and we, in the federal forum, have the credibility to make these approaches because we attended the necessary legislation to get out of the ﬁnancial morass. Today is not 2017.”

The Comprehensive Cancer Center of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), meanwhile, denounced that the biggest challenge they face in terms of the services they provide to the patients of the Vital Plan is that the existing rates do not adequately cover the real cost of the services Likewise,provided.thelack of uniform processes between the different insurers of the Vital Plan is also the cause of substantial delays in the billing and collection process, which in turn results in lower income for the institution, said Dr. José Quijada González, deputy executive director of the Comprehensive Center.

On the other hand, he explained that the funds of the government’s health plan come from a gap between state and federal funds. However, federal funds are received through a reimbursement mechanism and, if ASES becomes the direct payer, state funds corre sponding to the federal item would have to be allocated to it, which could subsequently be reimbursed.MarínRamos explained that converting the ASES into a single-payer will require the modification of the administrative framework; the recruitment of a considerable number of employees who must have the knowledge and experience necessary to carry out the tasks of insurers; an additional budget allocation; the transfer of all data under the custody of insurers and the incorporation of technological infrastructure for the management of these.

Both entities maintained that they see it beneficial that the rates paid by medical plans to the facilities of the State are reviewed with actuarial studies every two years, as provided in the senatorial measure. However, they said that it should not be limited to what the plans pay in the govern ment’s health plan, but should be extended to any medical plan that does business in Puerto Rico regardless of the segment, wheth er it is Medicaid (Vital), commercial-private, Medicare and Medicare Advantage, as well as the Automobile Accident Compensation Administration (ACAA).

ASEM’s Director of Fiscal Resources, Paul Barreras, told the House committee that in order to ensure that the Puerto Rico Medical Center, the Trauma Hospital, the Cardiovas cular Center and the government hospitals remain open, an additional economic injec tion of approximately $70 million annually is necessary.“Thefact that we all know that at the Medical Center every patient is going to be cared for and treated is an advantage for the people and a benefit for the most destitute. But, in economic terms, the only one that benefits from the service we offer are the medical plans that do not pay fair rates for the services we offer in our public hospitals,” Barreras said.

“If efforts are made with the federal govern ment and the authorization of the single-payer concept is achieved under the exception es tablished by federal law ... would the ASES be in a position to seek that change?” questioned the president of the Health Committee Sol Higgins“TheCuadrado.ASEScan seek change. If the public policy we want to address is that, obviously, we have to move in that direction. What happens is that they are extremely complex scaffolding,” Marín Ramos replied. “It’s going to take us several years to come up with a model like that. However, taking into account part of what the measure is proposing, and that I know that the sector as a whole we want to attend, we have to look for the mechanism of requiring insurers during these next years and/or establish how that process of negotiating the rates will be,” said the executive director.

On the other hand, P.S. 2 would require establishing a mechanism for ASES to handle claims, reconciliations and the operational processing of the same, which in the past operated under a system subcontracted by a tertiary administration model.. Under this model, both the ASEM and the Cardiovascular Center recommend that the ASES, and not the TPA, be the entity that establishes the rates to be paid to government institutions for the beneficiaries of the Vital Plan, reviewable every two years.

The Health Insurance Administration (ASES by its Spanish initials) expressed to the House Health Committee its opposition to a measure that seeks to make the agency the single direct payer of medical services pro vided by public hospital entities and facilities to beneficiaries of the Vital Plan. Among them, Senate Bill 2 (P.S. 2) includes the Cardiovascular Center of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, Dr. Antonio Ortiz University Pediatric Hospital, Adult University Hospital, Dr. Ramón Ruiz Arnau University Hospital of Bayamón, and the Medical Emergency Corps. According to the explanatory statement of the legislative piece, the Medical Services Administration (ASEM by its Spanish initials), the entity in charge of the administration of the Medical Center of Puerto Rico, is in a difficult economic situation along with the rest of the entities that provide medical-hospital services. For this reason, the measure identifies as the main problem the payment system adopted to pay these institutions and proposes to remove part of the role of insurers through an internal mechanism in which the ASES becomes the direct payer of the entities for the services they provide to the beneficiaries of the Vital Plan. However, the ASES rejected that the model proposed in the project is the best way to address the fiscal problem faced by these entities and hospital facilities. For the agency, the legislative measure deviates from what was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS by Spanish initials), so it will require submitting a “number of” amendments to the current State Plan.”

Among the situations he listed are vendor credentialing; contracting of services; different billing rules; proprietary medical policies; lack of uniformity in contracted rates; outdated beneficiary information; and complicated claims“Theprocesses.Comprehensive Cancer Center co incides with the legislative intention of P.S. 2 and the position expressed by other entities concerned in this legislative process, in order that actions must be taken to increase the rates of the Vital Plan to cover the real cost of the services provided and to expedite the contracting processes, billing and collection of services,” said the doctor.

“It should be noted that these amendments involve demonstrating to the federal govern ment that the state can meet fiscal responsibility ... These changes could have serious repercus sions,” said the executive director of ASES, Edna Marín Ramos, while declaring that, on the one hand, the liquidity of insurers would be disrupted, to the extent that the payment of premiums would be reduced.

For their part, the Medical Services Ad ministration and the Cardiovascular Center of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean said as part of a shared position that assigning fair rates to be paid for medical plans according to the actual expenses of government health facilities is a “pressing, urgent and necessary.” but that it should not be limited only to patients assigned to the Vital Plan as presupposed by P.S. 2.

“Our humble call is to the union of pur poses and wills in order to identify additional sources of income. We are working tirelessly to present additional proposals that do not represent tax increases for Puerto Ricans,” Barreras said.

Through his office, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., reached out to Cannon in 2019 about filling a judicial vacancy, she said in her questionnaire to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“As a judge,” he said, “you may not agree with her decisions, but she is always respectful of the process.”

Trump ruling lifts profile of judge and raises legal eyebrows

Little is publicly known about Cannon, 41, whose name quickly became familiar after her ruling during the holiday weekend. She joined the conservative Federalist Society as a law student in 2005 and maintained her ties to the group as her career unfolded, a fact that she made public during her Senate confirmation hearings in 2020. But according to people involved in the group’s activities, she was not an especially visible presence.

Valentin Rodriguez Jr., a defense lawyer based in West Palm Beach who worked opposite Cannon when she was a prosecutor and has appeared before her as a judge, said she was thorough, meticulous and often willing to rule against the government, as she did in Trump’s case. “The general feeling that I’ve gotten from her is, ‘I don’t buy everything the government has to tell me,’” Rodriguez said. “You can’t expect that if you and the government have some sort of agreement, over sentencing or a plea, that that’s necessarily going to convince. In that sense, you could call her something of a freethinker.”

“Aileen was always an incredibly dedicated and diligent student,” said Alejandro Miyar, a lawyer who worked for the Obama administration. He was one of 17 Ransom graduates who signed a letter in 2020 supporting Cannon’s nomination.

Many of her hearings in the Southern District of Florida were at first handled via Zoom. And she works out of a courthouse in Fort Pierce, which has its share of routine drug and immigration cases but is generally a far quieter part of the region than bustling Miami.

“I don’t think anyone could say she’s professionally or intellectually unqualified,” Srebnick said. He added that as a prosecutor he found Cannon to be polite and respectful of defense lawyers — a trait that not all prosecutors share.

Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former President Donald Trump, in Palm Beach, Fla., on Aug. 26, 2022. Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s extraordinary and unusually broad decision to grant a special master to review materials seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago drew scrutiny from experts who questioned her legal reasoning.

In her just over 20 months as a federal judge, Aileen M. Cannon worked mostly in obscurity, becoming nominated and appointed to her position during the height of the coronavirus pandemic and at the end of a turbulent presidency.

As a clerk, she worked for Judge Steven M. Colloton, who sits on the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Iowa and was at one point on Trump’s list of possible Supreme Court nominees.

At the time of her nomination, Cannon had been a lawyer for 12 years, the minimum threshold to meet the American Bar Association’s qualification standard. Most of her career was spent as a federal prosecutor, though she had limited trial experience because she focused on appellate work.

On Monday, Cannon granted Trump’s request to appoint an independent arbiter known as a special master to review materials seized last month from his private Florida club. The extraordinary and unusually broad decision, which could delay the criminal investigation into Trump, drew scrutiny from experts who ques tioned her legal reasoning and criticized some of the language in her opinion about what rights a former president is entitled to.

William Barr, who was attorney general under Trump, took exception to her ruling, saying that the judge did not adequately address a key issue in dispute: whether a former president may invoke executive privilege to keep the executive branch itself from reviewing documents while investigating a potential crime. He said the answer is no.

Howard Srebnick, a Miami lawyer who went to high school with Cannon, said she had all the necessary credentials to be a federal judge. She worked as a federal prosecutor, clerked for a conservative federal judge and spent time in a large law firm, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, in Washington, where she was known as a quiet presence who disliked attention.

Then, last month, she was assigned the most prominent case of her short judicial career, involving the very person who put her on the bench: former President Donald Trump.

“The opinion, I think, was wrong,” Barr said on Fox News on Tuesday. “And I think the government should appeal it. It’s deeply flawed in a number of ways.”

As a judge, she had not overseen cases that attracted much attention before she was assigned Trump’s high-profile lawsuit. She got the case after Trump avoided visiting the issue with the magistrate who approved the search of his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Cannon went to lengths to allow Trump’s legal team to clarify its argument after an initial filing that was too vague. During a hearing in the Trump case last week, she also seemed to help one of Trump’s lawyers remember that his client’s request for a special master included not only to review documents under attorneyclient privilege but also to assess any that could be covered under executiveAileenprivilege.Mercedes Cannon was born in Cali, Colombia, but grew up in Miami along with an older sister. Her mother, Merce des Cubas, fled Cuba as a young girl after the 1959 Communist revolution. The family of her father, Michael Cannon, hailed from Indiana.In cliquish Miami, where high school connections can run deep, she graduated from Ransom Everglades, a private school on the shores of Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove. She swam, played water polo and was known as popular and studious.

Cannon graduated from Duke University, spending a semester in Spain and a summer writing short feature articles for El Nuevo Herald, a daily Spanish-language newspaper, then graduated from the University of Michigan Law School. In 2008, she married Josh Lorence, who is an executive for Bobby’s Burgers, the celebrity chef Bobby Flay’s fast-casual restaurant chain, according to his LinkedIn profile, which was no longer publicly viewable on Monday. He proposed while they were on vacation in Greece. They have two children and live in Vero Beach, along Florida’s Treasure Coast. Public records show that Cannon has registered as a Republican. In 2018, she and her husband each contributed $100 to Ron DeSantis’ campaign for governor.

The video footage reﬂects just how many pro-Trump activists descended on the county, roughly 200 miles southeast of Atlanta, in an effort to ﬁnd anomalies that would help them challenge Trump’s narrow loss in Georgia.

In addition to showing people who were previously known to have been involved in the breach, the video footage shows that the elections ofﬁce was also visited by a consultant who is under investigation for a similar incident in Michigan and by the conspiracy-minded head of a cybersecurity company involved in a much-criticized partisan recount in Arizona. Other footage shows the chair of the Coffee County Republican Party appearing to welcome into the building the members of a forensics company hired by Sidney Powell, the pro-Trump lawyer and conspiracy theorist.

In court documents, legal representatives for SullivanStrickler described Latham as “a primary point of contact in coordinating and facilitating” the company’s work in Coffee County, saying she “was on site in the Coffee County elections ofﬁce that day while the work was performed.”

And it raises new questions about how many individuals and groups gained access to the county’s voting software, a data breach that is under investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and is one of a number of similar incidents coordinated by Trump allies in various swingLegalstates.experts say state investigators are most likely exploring whether Georgia laws were violated, including laws speciﬁcally barring access to voting equipment. More broadly, the breaching of numerous election systems around the country raises questions about their vulnerability to being hacked in future elections.

In a deposition as part of the lawsuit, Latham said she had been in the ofﬁce after about 4 p.m. The video footage puts her in the ofﬁce shortly before noon.

Lenberg and Logan could not be reached for comment.

A lawyer for Latham told CNN that Latham “would not and has not knowingly been involved in any impropriety in anySullivanStricklerelection.” has previously stated that it is a “politically agnostic” ﬁrm that had not “illegally ‘breached’ servers” or other voting equipment, but rather had been hired to “preserve and forensically copy the Dominion voting machines used in the 2020 election.”

The new video footage shows Cathy Latham, the chair of the Coffee County Republican Party at the time, in front of the ofﬁce on Jan. 7 welcoming Hall and Paul Maggio, an executive with SullivanStrickler, which was hired by Powell to go to Coffee County.

The documents were ﬁled as part of a long-running federal lawsuit by government accountability groups that are concerned about the security of Georgia’s elections system.

Latham was one of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed up as fake electors pledging the state’s electoral votes to Trump; all of them have been named as targets in Willis’ criminal investigation. Among them are Still, who is the Republican nominee for a state Senate seat.

In the days after the November 2020 election, Trump supporters apparently saw Coffee County, where the annual Gopher Tortoise Festival usually qualiﬁes as a major event, as an ideal place to gather intelligence on what they viewed as potential voting irregularities.

Previous reporting has established that Hall and employees of an Atlanta data company, SullivanStrickler, visited Coffee County to copy its election data on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after Trump partisans violently attacked the U.S. Capitol.FaniT.Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, mentioned the Coffee County data breach in recent court documents seeking Powell’s testimony before the Atlanta special grand jury that is leading a criminal inquiry into the efforts by Trump and his allies. Willis has said she is considering bringing a racketeering or conspiracy case that could involve a number of defendants who were involved in myriad efforts to help Trump overturn his loss in the state.

Newly released surveillance video from rural Coffee County, Georgia, shows that a number of conservative activists who tried to sow doubts about Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss paid visits during January 2021 to the county’s elections ofﬁce, where technicians hired by a pro-Trump lawyer copied sensitive election system software.

The existence of the videos, which were reviewed by The New York Times, was originally reported on Tuesday by The Washington Post and other news outlets.

The new video also shows that the ofﬁce was visited on Jan. 18 and Jan. 19 by Doug Logan, CEO of Cyber Ninjas, the company best known for conducting the widely derided partisan audit of the November 2020 vote in Maricopa County, Arizona, which ended up showing that President Joe Biden had received more votes there than previously thought.

Also seen entering the ofﬁce with Logan was Jeffrey Lenberg, a New Mexico-based consultant who, along with Logan and others, is under investigation related to a similar incident in Michigan. Lenberg also visited the Coffee County ofﬁce on other occasions at the end of January.

On Nov. 11, members of the local elections board sent a letter to the Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, alleging that they had found “deficiencies” in the state voting system set up by Dominion Voting Systems, a frequent target for unfounded conspiracy theories promulgated by Trump’s allies. Hall, the bail bondsman, has said that he and others were invited to the Coffee County elections office in January by local elections officials. Another Georgia Trump supporter, Shawn Still, pointed to other discrepancies in an electronic recount in the county as part of a lawsuit he filed soon after the election. In it, he argued that the recount discrepancies were sufficient grounds for contesting all of Georgia’s election results. Still eventually withdrew the lawsuit, and months later, state elections officials determined that the recount discrepancy he had cited was the result of human error by the local elections staff.

Powell, in an email, wrote that the Coffee County affair “is being grossly misreported” and added, “If you are interested in accuracy, I would encourage you to leave me out of your story.”

Scott Hall, an Atlanta-area Trump supporter and bail bondsman, has said that he and a team that traveled to Coffee County “scanned all the equipment, imaged all the hard drives and scanned every single ballot.” David Cross, a lawyer for the Coalition for Good Governance, a nonproﬁt that ﬁled a long-running lawsuit over election security issues in Georgia, said the breach allowed access to voting system software used in all 159 counties in the state.

By DANA GOLDSTEIN The Biden administration has taken credit for a relative return to normalcy in schools over the last year of the coronavirus pandemic. But in one of the few education programs the federal government directly oversees — Head Start preschools and child care centers for low-income families — mandatory masking rules are still on the books for teachers and children as young as 2. That requirement is out of line with current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, released last month, which recommend universal masking only if there is a high community transmission rate. The vast majority of schools and day care centers have made masks optional, even in the most virus-cautious regions on the country. The strict Head Start guidelines were established in November during the surge in delta variant infections, and they remain in place in half the states, including those throughout the Northeast and on the West Coast. In addition to universal masking, they require that Head Start staff members be vaccinated.Agroup of conservative states, including Texas and Florida, sued to prevent the rules from taking effect, and federal courts imposed an injunction on the guidelines in those states. Now, the masking and vaccine requirements are a point of contention for local Head Start centers, complicating both enrollment and hiring, program directors said. Many parents don’t want their young children to be masked, worried that masking could hinder socialization and language development. And their older children are now able to attend schools without any face coverings. “Head Start programs have been shortcircuited,” said Tommy Sheridan, deputy director of the National Head Start Association, a trade group. “This mandate on masking and vaccines has hurt a lot of programs. It is more of a crisis that is now feeling like a looming catastrophe.”Inawritten statement, the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees Head Start, acknowledged that the current guidelines contradict those of the CDC but said that centers are not being checked for compliance on masking. Updating the ofﬁcial rules is “a lengthy process,” the statement said, which would take into consideration the CDC’s evolving recommendations, the recent availability of vaccinations for children as young as 6 months and over 2,700 public comments.Thestruggle to mask young children became clear at a family orientation meeting this month at a Head Start center run by Acelero Learning in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Silas, a 3-year-old with big, round eyes and a buzz cut, has spent the pandemic at home, and he was pumped for the new adventure of pre-K. His surgical mask was no match for his enthusiasm — even though his grandmother, Olga Jimenez, reached over repeatedly to tug it over his mouth and nose. When he spied the play kitchen, the battle was all but lost. Silas bounded over, mask dangling. Soon, a plastic chicken wing was in his mouth, and he was passing it back and forth to three other girls and boys. Jimenez sighed and said that she would prefer Silas to go to school without a mask.

Masks can make it more challenging for some children to develop early speech and reading skills, which are learned, in part, by observing mouths in movement, according to research.Andwhile masks, properly worn, do offer virus protection, young children tend not to be severely affected by the coronavirus, even when unvaccinated. For many Head Start centers, the masking and vaccine rules make a difﬁcult situation even more difﬁcult.

A May survey of the National Head Start Association’s members found that the average center had 30% of its staff positions unﬁlled. Last year, about 745,000 children and babies were enrolled in Head Start and Early Head Start, down from 970,000 before the pandemic, according to federal data compiled by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The causes of staff shortages and enrollment declines are complex. Many Head Start positions pay the minimum wage or just above, and workers can often earn more in retail or food services while being subjected to fewer virus Vaccinationsrestrictions.mayalso be an issue. Eleven states have mandated vaccinations for teachers. But some states, including New Jersey, have relaxed those rules — presenting Head Starts with more competition for staff members who are qualiﬁed in early education, program directors said.

Steve Bannon, the onetime political adviser to former President Donald Trump, is expected to surrender Thursday to New York authorities to face state charges in an indictment that remains sealed, according to a person familiar with the case. The nature of the charges was unclear early Wednesday. But Bannon called them “phony” in a statement reported by NBC News. “They are coming after all of us,” he said. “I have not yet begun to fight.” Danielle Filson, a spokesperson for Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, declined to comment. The charges would not be Bannon’s first indictment. Trump pardoned Bannon in January 2021 before he could be brought to trial on federal fraud charges stemming from his work with We Build the Wall Inc., a fundraising operation set up to help fulfill the former president’s promise to create a physical barrier between the United States and Mexico.The Manhattan district attorney’s of fice, then headed by Cyrus Vance Jr., began

When Head Start centers cannot hire enough teachers, they often close entire classrooms, leaving families on a waiting list. And some parents remain hesitant to send young children to school, especially if it means they will be masked, program directors said.

“We always choose to follow the most stringent” requirements on the books, said Amanda Worth-Colón, who works for Acelero Learning, overseeing several Head Start programs in New Jersey.

At Head Start, masks remain on, despite CDC guidelines

Bannon to surrender to New York authorities to face sealed indictment

Some parents have academic concerns — even if masking can be mastered. Melissa Ruiz’s two children, Milani, 4, and Gabriel, 3, wore their face coverings like a second skin as they played with blocks and dolls. Both were enrolled in the center last year and are accustomed to the routine, which their mother supports. But Ruiz said she wished Milani and Gabriel could see the full faces of their teachers during lessons.

Even though the federal government has said it will not “monitor” the Head Start masking rule, centers across the country have struggled to interpret what that means in practice.Program directors described a culture of compliance within Head Start that leaves them, they said, with little choice but to follow the guidelines strictly.

From page 9 8, 202210 a its own investigation after the presidential pardon, which covered only federal charges. The new indictment was first reported by The Washington Post. Federal prosecutors had accused Ban non and three other men in 2020 of cheating donors to We Build the Wall, which aimed to construct at least 100 miles of barrier on privateTheland.authorities said Bannon hatched a plot to defraud donors with three other men: Brian Kolfage, an Air Force veteran and tri ple amputee from Miramar Beach, Florida; Andrew Badolato, a venture capitalist from Sarasota, Florida; and Timothy Shea, an en trepreneur from Castle Rock, Colorado. They were accused of taking money for personal expenses such as hotel and cre dit card bills and to buy jewelry, a golf cart and a luxury SUV. The fundraising effort co llected more than $25 million, and prosecu tors said Bannon used nearly $1 million of it for personalKolfageexpenses.andBadolato pleaded guilty in April to wire fraud conspiracy in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Kolfage also pleaded guilty to tax-related charges. A federal judge declared a mistrial in the case against Shea in June after jurors reported an impasse, saying one juror had spoken in deliberations of a “government witch hunt” and refused to consider the evi dence. Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said he planned to retry the case. We Build the Wall was popularized in Instagram and Twitter posts boasting of ties to Trump. It was also promoted by Donald Trump Jr. and assembled an advisory board of right-wing luminaries. They included Da vid Clarke, the former sheriff of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin; Kris Kobach, the for mer Kansas secretary of state; and Erik Prin ce, the founder of the private military com pany Blackwater, now known as Academi. Few ideas were as galvanizing to Trump’s supporters as creating a physical ba rrier at the border. Chants of “build that wall” rang out during rallies. Many supporters saw the structure as the embodiment of Trump’s “America First” policies. We Build the Wall was created to spur on the administration, which ultimately built about 450 miles of a wall along the border. Kolfage had launched a GoFundMe campaign to further the effort. Prosecutors said he raised about $17 million in a week with Shea’s help. But GoFundMe suspended the campaign, saying it would return the do nated money unless Kolfage found a nonpro fit group to administer it, prosecutors said. Soon Bannon and Badolato, who were working on a nonprofit meant to promote economic nationalism and American sovere ignty, joined the campaign. That led to the formation of We Build the Wall. Most donors who had given to the GoFundMe campaign transferred their money to the new group, and by the end of 2019 We Build the Wall had raised about $25 million.According to an indictment, Bannon’s nonprofit funneled money from We Build the Wall to Kolfage and issued a fake IRS 1099 form saying it had paid his spouse for “me dia.” Shea created an anonymous shell com pany that received payments from We Build the Wall, the indictment said, keeping some and transferring some to Kolfage, saying it was for “social media” accounts and pages.

In all, federal prosecutors said, Kolfage received more than $350,000 from We Build the Wall. They said Badolato and Shea each received hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Thursday,September8,The2022San Juan Daily StarThursday, September

Stephen K. Bannon, pardoned by former President Donald Trump in 2021, is tur ning himself in.

“I’ve never once claimed to be the governor, I’ve never wanted to make myself the governor,” Abrams said.

The next morning, Abrams announced she would join Warnock for a campaign stop that very afternoon.

Abrams is a Black woman contending with sexist stereotypes about leadership, they note. She is also running against an incumbent governor with a well-built political apparatus, while Warnock’s rival, former football star Herschel Walker, is a political novice. (Both Kemp and Walker’s campaigns declined to comment.)

Georgia

Some of Abrams’ supporters say her struggles are more rooted in sexism than any strategic misstep. She is running in the Deep South for an of ﬁce that has long been elusive to women and candidates of color. If she wins in November, she will be the ﬁrst Black woman and only the third Black person in American history to occupy a governor’s mansion.

Now, her struggles have some Georgia Democrats wondering if the Abrams model — seeking to expand the universe of voters to ﬁt her politics — is truly better than trying to capture 50% of the voters who exist now.

Public and private polls have consistently shown her trailing Kemp, a Republican seeking a second term. And, in a particularly worrying sign for Abrams, polls also show she is drawing less support than the other high-profile Democrat on the ballot, Sen. Raphael Warnock, who is seeking a first full term.The gap between the two Democrats, which is within the margin of error in some recent surveys and as wide as 10 points in others, highlights the extent of her struggles. Though she is beloved by Democratic voters, she has lost some ground with Black men, who provided crucial backing in her narrow loss to Kemp in 2018. And while Warnock draws some support from Republican moderates, Abrams — who has been vilified more by the GOP than any other statewide figure — has shown little sign of peeling off significant numbers of disaffected Republicans.

Last week, Warnock demurred when asked by The New York Times during a news conference if he would campaign with Abrams, delivering the sort of practiced nonanswer Democrats have been reciting when asked if they would welcome help from an unpopular President Biden.

The policy-heavy discussions, aimed especially at younger or infrequent voters, are often moderated by community members or local celebrities, such as Atlanta rapper Yung Joc and radio personality Big Tigger. At one recent event, she said bluntly: “If Black men vote for me, I’ll win Georgia.”

“The pundits want to know who I’m campaigning for and who I’m campaigning with,” Warnock said. “I’m focused on my campaign.”

A July poll from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found Abrams winning support from about 80% of Black voters in Georgia, a ﬁgure that is dangerously low in the narrowly divided state. Her campaign released an internal poll last week showing her support among Black men at 85%, a ﬁgure still short of her 2018 performance by about 8 percentage points. That poll found her 2 points behind Kemp overall, a tighter margin than previous surveys.

“We need Stacey Abrams,” Warnock told supporters at the event, calling her “a visionary leader” and “my dear friend.”Democrats have largely kept quiet on their concerns about Abrams’ campaign. But several county elected of ficials and community leaders in Georgia have privately expressed their worries to the campaign directly, according to interviews with more than two dozen Democratic of ficials who asked not to be named discussing private conversations. They have complained that the campaign was slow to reach out to key constituencies and underestimated Kemp’s strength in an already dif ficult year for Democratic candidates.

By MAYA KING and REID J. EPSTEIN

Abrams’ allies said the comparisons between her and Warnock overlook stark differences.

Stacey Abrams has worked for years to register and turn out Democratic voters, helping to fuel victories by President Biden and two senators in the 2020 election cycle.

“White voters are going to come home to Republicans and Black voters are going to come home to Democrats,” Lazarus said. “That’s what happens in Georgia.”

“There are Republican voters who are OK with Sen. Warnock,” he said. “But there is a very strong anti-Stacey AbramsOnefeeling.”ofthe Abrams campaign’s pollsters, Ben Lazarus of the Democratic data ﬁrm TargetSmart, questioned whether Warnock’s support among Republican voters would hold through November.

Abrams’ standing — consistently trailing Kemp in polls by around 5 percentage points — has alarmed Democrats who have celebrated her as the master strategist behind Georgia’s Democratic shift. For years, she worked to register and turn out Democratic voters, narrowly losing her ﬁrst bid for governor in 2018 and helping fuel President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020.

The Abrams and Warnock campaigns have pursued different strategies. Warnock is betting on winning over just enough moderate, white Republican voters to get himself past Walker. Abrams needs a big turnout from base Democrats and new voters to oust Kemp.

Democrats have grown increasingly pessimistic about Stacey Abrams’ chances of ousting Gov. Brian Kemp from of ﬁce, pointing to her struggles to rally key parts of her party’s coalition and her inability to appeal to a slice of moderate Republican voters who can decide the state’s elections.

“The picture of leadership we have, Stacey is like the opposite,” said Steve Phillips, an early Abrams supporter and prominent progressive Democratic donor who attributed her polling deﬁciencies to “just sexism.” Abrams’ identity as a Black woman is “part of the depth of the enthusiasm for her but it also explains the depth of the resistance.”

“We have to work harder as women, as African American women,” said former Mayor Shirley Franklin of Atlanta, who added that women “just have a harder time capturing the imagination as executives.”

Democrats fret as Stacey Abrams struggles in Georgia governor’s race

“Right now, people are concerned — kind of looking sideways,” said Erick Allen, a Democratic state representative, who said he hoped enthusiasm would pick up in the fall sprint. “There’s a lot of energy around the Warnock campaign. I’m not sure if the same energy that we had four years ago is around the Abrams campaign yet.”

Fred Hicks, a Democratic pollster in Atlanta, said that Abrams’ 2018 campaign, and her prominent role in Democratic politics since, had put some voters out of reach to her — even those who turned to Democrats during the Trump era.

Abrams has in recent weeks focused attention on winning support from Black men, voters who have inched toward Republicans during the Trump era. Her campaign has begun a series of conversations with Black men, calling the events “Stacey and the Fellas.”

Others point to another source of resistance, particularly among Republican-leaning voters: As the face of the Democratic Party in the state, Abrams has become a polarizing ﬁgure. Her 2018 campaign for governor marked the beginning of the Democrats’ rise, and many Republicans still associate her with her refusal to concede defeat to Kemp in that race. Abrams has repeatedly defended that decision, particularly against those who say it was no different from efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn Biden’s victory in 2020.

In an interview last week, Abrams defended her strategy, noting that her Democratic turnout operation helped carry the state for Biden, Warnock and Sen. Jon Ossoff in the 2020 election cycle. “I imagine an electorate that is possible, not the electorate as if the election was held today,” she said.She and her top aides believe her standing is improving, buoyed by voter anger over the Supreme Court decision overturning the federal right to an abortion. She is planning a broader campaign to highlight Kemp’s signing of a 2019 law — which went into effect in July — that bans abortion in Georgia after the sixth week of pregnancy.

The Fourth Ward in Greenwich is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for having developed between 1836 and 1929 “as the most visible moderate-income neighborhood in a town otherwise characterized by affluence of national re nown.”The area is not formally protected as a local historic dis trict. The moderate-income aspect has long since faded away: Homes recently listed for sale online in the Fourth Ward ranged from $1 million to $2.2 million. Rents averaged around $4,000 over the past five years, according to multiple listing service data.

The fervent campaigns against housing applications reflect a battle that has engulfed the state, town by town. Last week, a group led by the Open Communities Alliance announced that it would file a civil rights lawsuit against the town of Woodbridge, saying the town’s zoning regulations, which sharply restrict mul tifamily housing, violated the state Fair Housing Act, state zoning laws and the state constitution.

In New Canaan, where residents have raised money for a legal fund to fight the apartment building proposal, signs reading “Save Weed Street” are displayed on the front lawns of multi million-dollar homes. “If they destroy Weed Street, they could come for your neighborhood next. Every Soviet-era housing pro ject that they erect gives them the money and influence to build the next one, and the one after that and the one after that, until there is nothing left of the town you once knew,” warned a flyer circulated by Chris DeMuth Jr., a resident.

But many people who work in the towns cannot afford to live in them, said Karp, the developer.

Residents of the luxury condo complex Town and Country started the process of challenging the development under the state’s Environmental Protection Act, which, unusually, authori zes the state attorney general or anybody else to sue to prevent the “unreasonable destruction” of historic structures on the Na tional “MultifamilyRegister. housing can be developed elsewhere in town; historic structures and landmarks, however, cannot simply be rebuilt,” Mario Coppola, a lawyer for the condo owners, said in a letter to the planning and zoning commission.

Developers have a special right of appeal if a town rejects a proposal in which at least 30% of the units are made affordable to households earning 60% to 80% of state or area median in come (whichever is less). For example, a two-person household earning roughly $54,000 to $72,000 annually would qualify in Fairfield.Atown must justify a rejection by proving that it is neces sary to protect public health, safety, wetlands or certain other matters.Many more developers are taking advantage of the law be cause soaring rents have made it more economically feasible for them to cover the cost of complexes, even with nearly one-third of apartments below market rate.

But faced with the prospect of litigation, Eagle Ventures withdrew its application last month. Cabrera said he was consi dering what to do next.

In Greenwich, the 192-unit apartment building that Ea gle Ventures proposed would include 58 below-market-rate units that would rent from around $1,100 for a one-bedroom to $2,200 for a three-bedroom, depending on income level, Ca brera said.Itwas to be built on a downtown site cobbled together from 11 properties, including several late-19th-century homes that have been carved into apartments, four small single-family rentals, a couple of small commercial buildings and a restaurant. But opponents pointed out that the crumbling structures were part of the historic Fourth Ward, an area that became home to Irish immigrants. The name “Fourth Ward” comes from the neighborhood in lower Manhattan of the same name that drew working-class Irish immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Cabrera described the objection — a formal challenge that threatened to stretch into a lengthy legal battle — as disinge nuous. The buildings that had been slated for demolition are not of high quality and are on the outskirts of the Fourth Ward, he said. At least 18 other structures in the area have been demolis hed in the district to make way for luxury homes or condomi niums without major public outcry, he added.

Throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut, local residents and elected officials are seeking to block large housing projects that include units affordable to low- and moderate-income hou seholds, warning that the increased density could change the character of their towns. The 32-year-old law that enables such projects has always generated some pushback, but the opposi tion has grown more fierce as the number of proposals has in creased in recent years.

“In Connecticut there’s always been a sense that, we want to keep our towns looking a certain way and avoid most types of density,” she said. “That’s resulted in large house lot sizes and less and less multifamily housing starts.”

“The very reason that this neighborhood achieved a his toric designation was meant to honor that this was historically home to a racially and economically mixed population,” he said. “The way to honor that history would be to build mixed-income housing, rather than preserving in amber housing that is no lon ger affordable to people.”

By LISA PREVOST In the town of Fairfield, Connecticut, nearly 2,400 residents have signed a petition opposing a project proposed for down town that could bring 19 units of affordable housing.

Town after town, residents are fighting affordable housing in

In nearby New Canaan, homeowners have raised about $84,000 for a legal fund to fight a proposed apartment complex downtown on Weed Street that would include 31 rent-restricted units for households with moderate incomes.

And in Greenwich, a developer recently withdrew an application to build a project that would include 58 apartments priced below market rate, after residents living in nearby luxury condominiums objected and said the buildings that would be demolished were historically significant.

For example, Greenwich has received 11 housing applica tions citing the law in the past few years, after having received only seven in the preceding 30 years, said Katie DeLuca, the director of planning and zoning. “We can build both market-rate and affordable housing with no government funds or tax incentives required. The density allows the math to work,” said Peter Cabrera, the vice president of acquisitions and development for Eagle Ventures, the develo per that pulled its application in Greenwich.

The restrictive zoning “disparately harms Black and Lati no households, and deepens economic and racial segregation in the area,” said Erin Boggs, the alliance’s executive director, in a statement.Thesuit will be closely watched by towns around Con necticut, especially in Fairfield County, a hotbed of backlash to the law known as Section 8-30g, which was intended to help re verse decades of housing discrimination and segregation, much of it accomplished through restrictive zoning. The statute allows developers to exceed local restrictions on density if they include units priced below market rate. “Right now, it is the political hot button in Fairfield Cou nty,” said Arnold Karp, the president of Karp Associates, the de veloper of the proposed Weed Street complex in New Canaan.

“I already have a list of 20-plus people who work in town who would love to live here in a building that they could afford,” he said. “My view is, people who work in town deserve to be able to live in town.”

Some local Republicans are calling for the law to be re pealed.Fred Camillo, a first selectman in Greenwich and a Repu blican, argues that towns, not the state, should decide whether and where they want more housing. “These applications have the very real potential to change the look and feel of our town,” he said. “It’s a one-size-fits-all mandate coming down from Hart ford.” That sort of suburban antipathy to density has contributed to a severe housing shortage in Connecticut, especially at the low- to moderate-income range, said Kiley Gosselin, the execu tive director of the Partnership for Strong Communities, an affor dable housing advocacy organization.

Nick Abbott, a Greenwich native and Harvard Law student who has worked with groups promoting more inclusive zoning policies, said he didn’t buy the arguments for historic preserva tion in this case.

the iPhone

In the absence of travel, the company has encouraged staff in Asia to lead meetings that colleagues in California once led, these people said. The staff also assumed responsibility for the selection of some Asian suppliers of future iPhone parts.

COVID-related disruptions have exacerbated Apple’s predicament. When China closed its borders in 2020, Apple was forced to overhaul its operations and abandon its practice of ﬂying hordes of California-based engineers to China to design the assembly process for ﬂagship iPhones. Instead of subjecting staff to lengthy quarantines, Apple began empowering and hiring more Chinese engineers in Shenzhen and Shanghai to lead critical design elements for its bestselling product, according to the four people familiar with the operations.Thecompany’s manufacturing and product design teams began holding late-night video calls with counterparts in Asia. After travel resumed, Apple tried to encourage its staff to return to China by offering a stipend of $1,000 a day during the two weeks of quarantine and four weeks of work, these people said. Though the payout could be as much as $50,000, many engineers were reluctant to go because of uncertainty over how long they would have to quarantine.

“There’s a huge wealth gap in consumer spending in the smartphone industry,” said Wayne Lam, a tech analyst with CCS Insight. “Apple is safe relative to the competition.”

When the news media and employees gather Wednesday at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, for the product’s debut, Apple will accentuate the phone’s abilities — not how it’s made. The only signs of changes to that process will be visible in the ﬂights coming and going from nearby San Francisco International Airport.

Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, during a product roll out event in Cupertino, Calif., Sept. 10, 2019. Cook has been cautious about decreasing the company’s dependence on China.

More than ever, Apple’s Chinese employees and suppliers contributed complex work and sophisticated components for the 15th year of its marquee device, including aspects of manufacturing design, speakers and batteries, according to four people familiar with the new operations and analysts. As a result, the iPhone has gone from being a product that is designed in California and made in China to one that is a creation of both countries.The critical work provided by China reﬂects the country’s advancements over the past decade and a new level of involvement for Chinese engineers in the development of iPhones. After the country lured companies to its factories with legions of low-priced workers and unrivaled production capacity, its engineers and suppliers have moved up the supply chain to claim a bigger slice of the money that U.S. companies spend to create high-tech gadgets.

How

The change in the way Apple works has coincided with an increase in the number of Chinese suppliers it uses. A little over a decade ago, China contributed little value to the production of an iPhone. It primarily provided the low-wage workers who assembled the device with components shipped in from the U.S., Japan and South Korea. The work accounted for about $6 — or 3.6% — of the iPhone’s value, according to a study by Yuqing Xing, an economics professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo.

The increased manufacturing order is a testament to the resilience of Apple’s af ﬂuent customers, whose deep pockets allow them to buy high-priced smartphones despite rising inﬂation and the economic downturn.

Gradually, China nurtured homegrown suppliers that began to displace Apple’s suppliers from around the world. Chinese companies began making speakers, cutting glass, providing batteries and manufacturing camera modules. Its suppliers now account for more than 25% of the value of an iPhone, according to Xing.The gains illustrate how China has expanded its mastery of the smartphone supply chain, said Dan Wang, an analyst with Gavekal Dragonomics, an independent economic research ﬁrm. “That trend isn’t slowing down,” he said. Through most of the pandemic, China has rewarded Apple’s reliance on the country for manufacturing. Its steady production — even as other countries shut down for periods in 2020 and 2021 — helped Apple increase its smartphone market share and sell its most iPhones ever, according to analysts, a remarkable achievement for a decades-old electronics device that has shifted from offering revolutionary innovations to incrementalThisimprovements.year,analysts expect Apple to release four iPhones that have smaller notches for its Face ID feature than previous models. It is unveiling the phones a week earlier than usual, which could boost revenue in the current quarter by adding a week of sales. It also is expected to increase the price of its iPhone 14 Pro models by $100 to more than $1,600 to offset the higher costs of some components.

“They want to diversify, but it’s a hard road,” said Gene Munster, managing partner of Loup Ventures, a technology research ﬁrm. “They depend on China for so much.” Apple declined to comment. Foxconn, BYD and Lingyi iTech didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Now, United no longer offers nonstop flights from San Francisco to Hong Kong. It flies direct to Shanghai four days a week. China has added to its influence over

The increased responsibilities that China has assumed for the iPhone could challenge Apple’s efforts to decrease its dependency on the country, a goal that has taken on increased urgency amid rising geopolitical tensions over Taiwan and simmering concerns in Washington about China’s ascent as a technologyChinesecompetitor.companies with operations in India will still play a key role in Apple’s plan to make some iPhones in the country. In Chennai, India, the Taiwanese supplier Foxconn, which already manufactures iPhones in factories throughout China, will lead Indian workers’ assembly of the device with support from nearby Chinese suppliers including Lingyi iTech, which has subsidiaries to supply chargers and other components for iPhones, according to two people familiar with the plans. China’s BYD is setting operations to cut glass for displays, as well, these people said.

Apple expects the iPhone 14 to build on the success of past years. While other smartphone manufacturers are cutting production as the global economy sputters, Apple has called for its suppliers to make more phones than it did a year ago, according to Susquehanna International Group, a ﬁnancial ﬁrm.

The company is now increasingly tapping China to supply high-wage workers to do these jobs, these people said. This year, Apple has posted 50% more jobs in China than it did during all of 2020, according to GlobalData, which tracks hiring trends across tech. Many of those new hires are Western-educated Chinese citizens, these people said.

This fall, Apple will make some of its flagship iPhones outside China for the first time, a small but significant change for a company that has built one of the most sophisticated supply chains in the world with the help of the Chinese authorities. But the development of the iPhone 14, which is expected to be unveiled on Wednesday, shows how complicated it will be for Apple to truly untangle itself from China.

Apple once spent $150 million annually on flights with United Airlines, according to a United promotional banner. Former employees recall that before the pandemic, they boarded flights to Shanghai and Hong Kong in which business class seats were filled with people who worked at Apple.

The selloff in oil accelerated into a near freefall on Wednesday, with global benchmark Brent crude break ing key support of $90 per barrel the first time since February.Twenty-year highs in the dollar that raised the acquisi tion cost for crude when bought on other currencies; China’s growing COVID lockdowns and fears of a third straight 75-ba sis point rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve when it meets on September 21 led to a perfect storm for oil bulls.

Markets started September on a weak note as hawkish comments from Fed policymakers and data signaling momen tum in the U.S. economy raised fears of aggressive interest rate hikes.Thebenchmark S&P 500 .SPX closed at a six-week low on Friday as worries about the European gas crisis overshad owed relief from the monthly jobs data, which pointed to a slight easing of wage pressures. The index is down nearly 18% so far this year, while the Nasdaq has shed nearly 26% as ris ing interest rates hurt megacap technology and growth stocks.

Add to that the G-7 efforts to cap the selling price of oil by Russia, to deny Moscow the maximum revenue it seeks for its energy exports in order to finance its war against Ukraine.

Traders see about 75% chance of a third 75-basis-point rate hike at the Fed’s policy meeting later this month. FED WATCHFocus will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Thursday as well the U.S. consumer prices data next week for clues on the path of monetary policy.

A survey from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed the U.S. services industry picked up in August for the second straight month amid stronger order growth and employment, while supply bottlenecks and price pressures eased.However, numbers from S&P Global showed services sector PMI fell short of flash estimates for August.

“While the Fed’s definitely going to keep hiking its in terest rates, I think there’s zero question about that. The only question is how much and how fast.”

“The Russian oil price cap is particularly a tricky one. There are fears that an angry Putin will halt all oil and gas supplies to teach the West and the world a lesson for trying to gang up against Mother Russia,” said John Kilduff, partner at New York energy hedge fund Again Capital. “On the other hand, Russia also needs to keep the rev enue stream going, so it probably needs to export its hydro carbons at some point. That’s probably what’s weighing on the market too, since the sub-$90 per barrel of Brent in the actual market may be closer to between $55 and $60 based on what Russia is forced to sell at.” Brent, the London-traded global benchmark for oil, was down $3.20, or 3.5%, to $89.63 per barrel by 9:57 ET (13:57 GMT).New York-traded West Texas Intermediate, the bench mark for U.S. crude, was down $3.28, or 3.8%, to $83.60.

“This summit promises to be in teresting, because it will be the first full-fledged summit during the pan demic,” the ambassador, Andrei De nisov, was quoted as saying by the Russian state-run Tass news agency.

Putin says he will meet with Xi and insists Russia ‘has not lost anything’ President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia speaking on Wednesday at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia.

Putin also said he would meet next week with an increasingly im portant ally, President Xi Jinping of China, as the Russian leader tries to expand economic ties with Asia to counteract the effects of Western pe nalties. And he insisted that the inva sion, now in its seventh month, had raised Moscow’s international stature and that a crackdown on dissent was cleansing Russia of “harmful” ele ments, including journalists who have left the country since the conflict be gan.“Of course, a certain polarization is taking place — both in the world and within the country — but I be lieve that this will only be beneficial,” Putin said. “Because everything that is unnecessary, harmful and everything that prevents us from moving forward will be rejected.” He also reasserted his interpre tation of the war in Ukraine as the culmination of efforts to subvert an unjust world order led by the United States, saying Western countries were “striving to maintain a former world order that is beneficial only to them.”

The severing of economic ties with Western countries has pushed Russia into a speedy reorientation of its economy toward Asia, most of all China, making the meeting with Xi particularly important. Putin said he would take part in a meeting with Xi and the president of Mongolia on the sidelines of a regional summit in Uz bekistan.Ameeting with Xi could help Pu tin further strengthen his expanding partnership with China. While Beijing has not declared its support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it has echoed Kremlin talking points in describing the United States as the “main instiga tor” of the conflict. It was not imme diately clear what form the meeting would take, and Chinese officials did not confirm it. Russia’s ambassador to China said earlier Wednesday that the meeting would take place in person.

“All of our actions aim to help people who live in Donbas,” Putin said, referring to the region of eastern Ukraine that his forces have sought to conquer, vowing to fulfill this “duty to the Theend.”Russian president sought to radiate confidence that the West’s efforts to isolate Moscow were doo med to fail. Sitting on a panel with the leader of Myanmar and the prime minister of Mongolia, and with the third-highest-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party, he indi cated that Russia could shift its trade flows toward Asia. “No matter how much someone wants to isolate Russia, it is impossi ble to do,” Putin said. “You just need to look at the map.” Putin said Russia’s currency and financial markets had been stabilized, inflation had been tamed and unem ployment had been kept to “record lows.” Yet his rosy pronouncements have been tempered by his own eco nomic policymakers, who say it will take years for Russia’s economy to rebound to prewar levels and that its growth will be hampered as long as Western sanctions are in place. Many analysts also predict further shocks as European countries press ahead with plans to sharply reduce purchases of Russian oil by the end of the year.

Putin’s remarks came as his for ces face an increasingly difficult si tuation at the front lines in Ukraine, where they have been unable to cap ture a major town for more than two months. Ukraine is mounting a coun teroffensive that its officials contend is showing initial signs of success.

By IVAN NECHEPURENKO and VIC TORIA KIM A s his forces struggle in Ukraine and his economy strains under sanctions, President Vladimir Putin of Russia struck a defiant tone Wednesday, arguing that the West had failed in its “economic, financial and technological aggression” against Russia and that his country had only gained from the global furor over his invasion.“We have not lost anything and will not lose anything,” Putin said at an economic conference in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok.

To that end, the German government has asked a research institution it helps finance, the Washington-based German Marshall Fund, to come up with proposals for donor coun tries. Their report was provided to The New York Times and is already being discussed among donor countries as “a private note to Amongstakeholders.”thekeyrecommendations are that the Group of 7 industrialized nations appoint a Ukraine coordinator to oversee reconstruction, ideally an American with global stature; that existing institutions be used for the project to ensure timeliness; and that different multilateral financial institutions should be used, to limit the influence of Russian or Chinese board mem bers. The report also says that Ukraine must accept strict over sight of the funds, as well as strengthening its legal and judicial systems, to reduce the potential for corruption.

A report from the German Marshall Fund envisages a total of some $100 billion to rebuild Ukraine’s infrastructure.

An international conference on reconstruction is schedu led for next month in Berlin to grapple with those thorny issues, and also determine whether reconstruction should begin before a peace settlement. There is also the vexed question of what kind of security guarantees should be offered to encourage pri vate investment in the rebuilding.

Even as Russia’s war on Ukraine grinds on with no end in sight, Ukraine’s allies are facing complicated questions about the country’s reconstruction. Who will pay for what, and who should control the pro cess and funds? What kind of external oversight of the money should be required and what changes must Ukraine make?

Another author of the report, the economist Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, added: “Of course there is uncertainty about when the war ends and how, but there will be a sizable bill for Ukra inian reconstruction and there is an urgent need for that not to linger.”There is inevitable reluctance from big countries like Ger many and France, facing their own domestic economic cha llenges, he said. “But we can’t allow this to linger, so we need to think hard about how Europe pays for the vast majority of it. And we have to ensure that there is a clear trans-Atlantic aspect and an inclusive framework that includes the G-7 and others,” like the Turks and even the Chinese.

The report envisages a total of some $100 billion over time to rebuild Ukraine’s infrastructure, far less than the $750 billion over 10 years that Ukraine cites, but in line with a study from the Kyiv School of Economics, which in late August estimated the cost of damage at that point at $113.5 billion.

This report tries to fill the void and deal with the main cha llenges. First, how to keep Ukraine afloat, given that it needs some $5 billion to $6 billion a month to finance the govern ment, according to the International Monetary Fund. “Recons truction won’t be possible with a collapsing, failed state,” said Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff, Berlin director of the German Mars hall Fund and one of the authors. Donors need reassurance to keep pouring large sums into a state that has a reputation for corruption.Thatleverage will push Kyiv to overhaul its institutions and courts if it wants a rapid integration into Europe, the report says, along with the help of the European Union, which has high le gal standards and has offered Ukraine candidate status.

“The vision of a free and democratic, modernized and Eu ropean Ukraine is the answer” to Russian aggression, the report says.In June, at an international conference in Lugano, Switzer land, Ukraine presented its own national recovery plan. But its democratic allies have not responded in kind, with the Berlin conference already postponed a month until late October.

“We will also need very solid donor oversight, and Ukraine must understand that,” Kleine-Brockhoff said. Ukraine would need to appoint an independent inspector-general with real teeth and join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, desig ned to investigate fraudulent use of EU funds. Foreign aid of this size will require foreign oversight, which Ukraine must accept, the reportAnothersays.challenge is whether to create new institutions for the massive reconstruction project; the report suggests that is unnecessary and would waste time. Funding should be phased with the progress of the war and any eventual peace, moving from relief and reconstruction to modernization and eventual accession to the European Union.

“A Ukraine that isn’t quickly rebuilt can’t enter accession negotiations with the EU and can’t be a viable state,” Kirkegaard said. “No one wants Ukraine to be a failed state.”

Some countries, like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slova kia, have also suggested confiscating the $300 billion of Russian Central Bank assets frozen in the West to rebuild Ukraine, and in June, the G-7 committed to exploring their use. But the re port regards that as unrealistic in the short term, possibly illegal and hard to get through the courts. Instead, the authors suggest, as part of any settlement, that Russia be asked to provide a percentage of those assets for Ukraine in return for getting the bulk of them “Obviouslyback.that depends on the outcome of the war,” Klei ne-Brockhoff said. But Ukraine has immediate financial and military needs that must also be met. Beginning serious reconstruction while the war continues is a difficult task, and it would only be after some sort of settle ment and some special “war insurance” arrangements, backed by states, that Ukraine could expect to attract much private in vestment, Kleine-Brockhoff said. “Without peace and security Ukraine would need ever more grants, and that becomes un realistic,” he said.

Non-European donors from the G-7 would front-load aid, with the European Union gradually becoming the predominant donor. The United States would continue to be the largest con tributor to Ukraine’s security, while other countries would in vest more in recovery and modernization.

On Xiaohongshu, hashtags for the trend have amassed more than 5 million views. Young government employees have posted their daily looks, and students have also posted selfies in the cadrewear. Some young women also show off the styles of their civil servant boyfriends. Canny gar ment sellers have even started including the “office bureau style” label in their onli ne ads for clothes usually bought by midd le-aged men.

In fact, Xi once compared the value orientation of young people to buttoning up a shirt. “If the first button is done wrong, the rest will all go wrong.”

But now the cadre look is cool.

“Compared with the clothes with fas hion-brand logos, this style is more digni fied and poised,” Yang Zhan, 21, an electri cal engineering student in Anhui province, in central China, wrote in a message re plying to questions from The New York Times. He had posted a picture of himself wearing his father’s navy blue jacket and mother’s Communist Party member pin on Xiaohongshu, one of the fastest-growing social platforms targeting young Chinese.

Though the cadre look is far from dominating fashion sales, the emergence of the unabashedly conventional look re flects China’s conservative political turn.

So far no state outlets have openly en couraged the trend among young people, but if they did, it would not be surprising.

The paragon of this determinedly dull look is China’s top leader, Xi Jinping. He is highly likely to win another five years in power in October, when about 2,300 de legates gather for a Communist Party con gress in Beijing. Many of those officials will be wearing Western-style suits and ties for that special occasion. Back at the office, though, countless officials now sport the dark blue wind jacket favored by Xi.

So square it’s hip: Gen Z tries on the communist cadre look

President Xi Jinping in his trademark blue jacket with oversize trousers during a July visit to Urumqi, China. The understated look has become surprisingly popular with some younger Chinese.

“The style is understated, that says, ‘Don’t look at me’. What’s new is the popularity among young people.” Cadres often used to dress much more expensively, sporting flashy acces sories such as luxury watches and ex pensive belts. But that was before Xi’s anti-corruption campaign began in 2012.

Xi’s signature blue jacket has echoes of the Mao suit, which was worn by many Chinese people, especially officials, befo re commercial fashion and Western-style suits took off in China in the 1980s.

“The profession is being looked up to as if it has a halo on it now,” said Tina Zhou, a law student from northeastern Liaoning province. “If anybody who is not a civil servant deliberately dresses like this in daily life, I would think he is a bit too uptight and stern.”

On Chinese social media platforms where trendsetters trade fashion tips, young people — mostly men — have been sharing pictures of themselves dressed like their strait-laced, middle-aged dads wor king in Communist Party offices. They call the trend “ting ju feng,” or “office and bu reau style” — meaning the working wear of a typical mid-rank bureaucrat.

Despite his immense power, Xi has not been seen as a fashion influencer — until now. Some followers of the trend may be tongue in cheek, poking fun at China’s era of conformity. Others say that they are in earnest and that for many young Chinese, the look suggests a stable career path and a respectable lifestyle — a Communist Party version of the preppy look.

“Otherwise my classmates would say I’m stinking with smugness,” he said. “Maybe it’s a little too mature.”

The cadre style’s popularity may also reflect the high interest in holding a go vernment post, especially while the eco nomy has slowed sharply. Last year a re cord 2 million people registered to take the national government agencies’ hiring exam.“When big internet companies are having rounds of layoffs, the ‘office bu reau style’ is sending out an unspoken message of being reliable, stable and rid of intensive competition,” Hu Zhen, a Chinese fashion blogger, said in a recent video.

The government strictly monitors every aspect of youth culture online, blurring images of tattoos and revising lyrics with negative connotations. Pop idols attending government functions and interviewed by the state news media have also sometimes dressed in ting ju feng.

A dull blue jacket, oversize trousers, a Communist Party member pin adding a splash of red on the chest, a small briefcase in hand. It’s the typical dress of the typical Chinese official, and has long been the very opposite of the look that many young Chinese strive for.

For junior workers, Hu recommended a short-sleeved white shirt with a chest poc ket big enough to hold a small notebook, a handy tool for field visits by public servants.

There are limits to the appeal of the cadre look. Yang’s pictures attracted ad miring comments online, but he said he would never wear the outfit to class.

“That jacket has long been popular among cadres,” said John Fitzgerald, an expert on China’s cadre culture and an emeritus professor at Swinburne Universi ty of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.

Still, many young people think ting ju feng is just a social media fad. Wei Zhang nan, a Beijing business consultant, posted his cadre look but added that it might not last. “Probably it will soon be gone,” he said. “Not everybody is fond of the old ca dre vibe.”Others are rolling their eyes at the look and the fascination it reflects with civil ser vant culture.

The Conservative Party held its spring conference there in March, and Johnson, then prime minister, vowed that the party would “do everything we can to help people with their daily costs, help people with the cost of living.”

The Conservative Party had garnered support there with plans to deliver on the Brexit vote and the promise of nationwi de “leveling up” — a program to bolster living standards and promote economic and social development in less prospe rous parts of the country. That pledge, which buoyed the party in the last elec tion, has yet to fully materialize here, lo cals and policy experts say.

By MEGAN SPECIA T he famed annual light show still illuminates the sky each night in the seaside town of Blackpool in England’s northwest, having survived the nationwide effort to conserve energy. But beneath the glitter, the evidence of deca des of decline are everywhere.

Liz Truss, who took over as Britain’s prime minister Tuesday, will have no shortage of issues to address in a country facing grave economic crises. On Thurs day, Truss is set to announce a plan to limit the sharp rise in energy costs. But the most daunting challenges will come in towns like Blackpool, already one of the most deprived in England, ac cording to government statistics. Blackpool South, where the popular Pleasure Beach amusement park stands, long supported the Labour Party but swit ched to backing the Conservative Party in the 2019 election that brought Boris Jo hnson to power. It was one of the poorest areas of England to switch parties. But with costs for nearly everything rising, and worries that energy bills could skyrocket to thousands of pounds a year for the average household, there are al ready indications of cracks in the Conser vative coalition. “I do not think that having Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak would have made any di fference to the economy of Blackpool,” said Ava Makepeace, a resident, referring to Truss’ opponent in the leadership race that ended this week in her victory, Makepeace, 51, was critical of Con servative policies, and said that Brexit, which Blackpool overwhelmingly favo red in a 2016 referendum, had also had a negative effect on the town.

Struggling seaside town shows challenges for New U.K. leader

The authorities have vowed to main tain one of the town’s signature attrac tions, the Blackpool Illuminations light show, despite the concerns about sur ging energy costs. The show, which was switched on over the weekend and will run through the fall and winter, features twinkling lights over the main promena de that stretches for 6 miles along the seafront and dates to the Victorian era. But Craig Smalley, who was born and raised in Blackpool and has owned a fast food stall there for the past 16 years, and other small business owners worry that the cost of the show could eventually become unsustainable and fear that they could lose another tourism draw.“It could get to a stage where they have to turn it off early,” Smalley said. “And I really hope that doesn’t happen.”

Blackpool Tower illuminated for the queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer. The most daunting challenges Prime Minister Liz Truss will face will come in towns like Blackpool, England.

The signs on the small hotels that line long stretches of the coastline have faded, and “vacancy” notices flash in their front windows. Shuttered storefronts dot the roads in the center of town. The doorways of defunct nightclubs are crow ded with those sleeping rough.

There have been some signs of posi tive development in recent years. Black pool was awarded 39.5 million pounds (about $45 million) this year by the go vernment to revamp tourist attractions, address the effects of the pandemic and create a hub for young people seeking jobs. There are efforts underway to im prove the quality of education and deve lop better transportation links. This year, a newly refurbished 30 mi llion pound conference center opened, hoping to draw new visitors to the town.

“No one can get decent staff anymo re,” she said of the restaurants and hotels that had relied on overseas workers. “And poverty in certain areas of central Black pool are the worst they have ever been.” She said it seemed like northern towns like hers had been entirely forgot ten. Once a thriving beachside resort, Blackpool has seen a steady decline in recent decades, as the popularity of des tination vacations to more exotic loca les took off and a once bustling tourism sector dwindled. In its wake, the town was left with deep social problems. Both men and women there have the lowest life expectancy of any local authority in England, according to the Office for Na tionalAnStatistics.erosion of support among nor thern, working-class towns like Blackpool would be a serious blow to the Tories, who benefited from a shift of loyalties away from Labour in Johnson’s landsli de 2019 win.

She added that the bloc’s natural gas storage facilities were already 82% full and that Russian gas imports had dwindled from 40% of the bloc’s total to a mere 9%. Thir teen of the EU’s 27 members are facing partial or total Russian gas shutdowns, with the biggest effect being felt in Germany, the bloc’s biggest economy and the most reliant by far on Russian gas.

Following a model already in place in Greece, von der Leyen said governments should use these funds to “support vulnera ble people and companies to adapt.” She also suggested that oil and gas companies, which are making huge profits, should pay a “solidarity contribution” and that governments should be able to subsi dize national utility companies that are fa cing large input costs to continue producing electricity.

EU weighs Russian gas price cap and other measures to rein in energy prices

Bo. Bairoa Carr. #1 Detrás de EcoMaxx. (787) 705-7628

Russia has turned the gas tap on and off to punish European countries, primarily Germany, for supporting Ukraine, blaming the widespread disruptions on technical problems and maintenance. EU energy ministers will meet Friday in Brussels to debate the bloc’s proposals.

“All administrative restrictions in global trade only lead to imbalances and higher prices,” he said Wednesday at an economic news conference in the Russian far-eastern city of Vladivostok. In her speech Wednesday, von der Le yen said governments needed to intervene urgently in the gas and electricity markets — a concept that most EU countries agree on, although there are disagreements over how to best do that.

ith Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggering a devastating energy crisis in Europe, the European Commission said Wednesday that it would ask countries to approve a broad cap on the price of Russian gas. It is also proposing measures such as mandatory cuts in elec tricity use, a tax on oil and gas companies, and a tax on the price of electricity genera ted byTherenewables.moves,which were outlined by commission President Ursula von der Le yen, set the stage for a period of intensive and urgent debate in the European Union to tackle the unprecedented energy crisis en gulfing the region as Russia cuts its supply of natural gas to many EU member states, sending the gas and its linked electricity markets into a sharp spiral.

Managing electricity prices is not only an economic and social goal, but also a po litical imperative in Europe. With memories of the yellow vest protests in France over energy prices still raw, and new movements bubbling up to denounce rises in the cost of living and, in some cases, continued sup port for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion, European politicians have little choice but to take unorthodox and expensive measu res to placate outraged consumers. “We are facing an extraordinary situa tion because Russia is an unreliable supplier and is manipulating our energy markets,” von der Leyen said in a statement Wednes day.

European governments from Germany to Greece are burning through billions of eu ros a month to subsidize consumers’ and businesses’ electricity bills, which are in some cases five times as high as last year.

Because the European electricity mar ket links the price of electricity to the price of the most expensive fuel used to generate it — in the current moment, gas — von der Leyen also said she would ask EU countries to effectively tax companies that generate electricity from nongas sources.

“We are confronted with astronomic electricity prices for households and com panies and with enormous market volatili ty,” she said. In July, the commission secured sup port for voluntary cuts in energy use of 15% by next summer. On Wednesday, von der Leyen said she would propose mandatory cuts in electricity use during peak hours.

As you may note, this does not sound like a description of the current Republican Party — a minority coalition led by an unpopular chancer that consistently passes up opportunities to seize the political center, a party that enjoys structural advantages in the Senate and the Electoral College but consistently self-sabotages by nominating zany or incompetent candidates, a movement whose influence in most cultural institutions collapsed in the Trump era.

The song is always the same: On the one hand, dire warnings about Trumpian authoritarianism and the need for all patriotic Republicans and independents to join the defense of American democracy; on the other, a strictly partisan agenda that offers few grounds for ideological truce, few real concessions to beliefs outside the liberal tent.

Thursday,

It’s easy to imagine a Biden speech that offered such concessions without giving an inch in its critique of Donald Trump. The president could have acknowledged, for instance, that his own party has played some role in undermining faith in American elections, that the Republicans challenging the 2020 result were making a more dangerous use of tactics deployed by Democrats in 2004 and 2016. Or his condemnations of political violence could have encompassed the worst of the May and June 2020 rioting, the recent wave of vandalism at crisis pregnancy centers or the assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh as well as MAGA threats. Or instead of trying to simply exploit the opportunities that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision has created for his party, he could have played the statesman, invoked his own Catholic faith and moderate past, praised the sincerity of opponents of abortion and called for a national compromise on abortion — a culture war truce, if you will, for the greater good of saving democracy itself. You can make a case for Biden refusing these gestures (or a different set pegged to different nonliberal concerns). But that case requires private beliefs that diverge from Biden’s public statements: In particular, a belief that Trumpism is actually too weak to credibly threaten the democratic order, and that it’s therefore safe to accept a small risk of, say, a Trump-instigated crisis around the vote count in 2024 if elevating Trumpists increases the odds of liberal victories overall. For actual evidence supporting such a belief, I recommend reading Julian G. Waller’s essay “Authoritarianism Here?” in the spring 2022 issue of the journal American Affairs. Surveying the literature on socalled democratic backsliding toward authoritarianism around the world, Waller argues that the models almost always involve a popular leader and a dominant party winning sweeping majorities in multiple elections, gaining the ground required to entrench their position and capture cultural institutions, all the while claiming the mantle of practicality and common sense.

The

In this case, Biden’s speech conflated the refusal to accept election outcomes with opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage — implying that the positions of his own Catholic Church are part of a “MAGA Republican” threat to democracy itself — while touting a State of the Union-style list of policy achievements, a cascade of liberal self-praise.

If Jan. 6 and its aftermath made it easier to imagine a Trumpian GOP precipitating a constitutional crisis, they did not make it more imaginable that it could consolidate power thereafter, in the style of Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan or Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez or any other example. Which in turn makes it relatively safe for the Democratic Party to continue using crisisof-democracy rhetoric instrumentally, and even tacitly boost Trump within the GOP, instead of making the moves toward conciliation and cultural truce that a real crisis would require.

Such is an implication, at least, of Waller’s analysis, and it’s my own longstanding read on Trumpism as well.

Daily

The speech’s warning against eroding democratic norms was delivered a week after Biden’s own semiCaesarist announcement of a $500 billion studentloan forgiveness plan without consulting Congress. And it was immediately succeeded by the news that Democrats would be pouring millions in advertising into New Hampshire’s Republican Senate primary, in the hopes of making sure that the Trumpiest candidate wins through — the latest example of liberal strategists deliberately elevating figures their party and president officially consider an existential threat to the Republic.

The ultimate blame for nominating those unfit candidates lies with the GOP electorate, not Democrats. But in the debate about the risks of Republican extremism, the debate the president just joined, it’s still important to judge the leaders of the Democratic Party by their behavior. You may believe that American democracy is threatened as at no point since the Civil War, dear reader, but they do not. They are running a political operation in which the threat to democracy is leverage, used to keep swing voters onside without having to make difficult concessions to the center or the right.

By ROSS DOUTHAT Strip away the weird semi-fascist optics, the creepy crimson lighting and the Marines standing sentinel, and the speech President Joe Biden gave on Thursday night outside Philadelphia’s Independence Hall could have been given by other prominent Democrats throughout the Trump era.

Does Biden really believe we are in a crisis of democracy?

That reading may well be too sanguine. But in their hearts, Joe Biden and the leaders of his party clearly think I’m right.

There is no time like the present — ever. In terms of art, this moment has been distinguished by startling fluidity, rap id change and thrilling expansion both in terms of what constitutes art and who makes it. (Or who has made it, since art’s past is expanding too.) The fall exhibitions that in trigue me most continue this expansion. The latest cracks in the barriers between art and craft include a show of 19th-century African American stoneware jars at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a survey of some of the most outrageous costumes of this century at the Museum of Arts and Design. Overdue retrospectives will occur at the American Folk Art Museum and the Museum of Mod ern Art. And three museums have given mid career artists the run of their galleries.

“A Splendid Land: Paintings From Royal Udaipur” at the Smithsonian’s Na tional Museum of Asian Art, organized by the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sack ler Gallery, could well be the most beautiful painting exhibition of the season, handily upending Western views of Indian painting

Finally, I look forward to “Abigail DeV ille: Bronx Heavens” at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (Oct. 12-April 9). DeVille (b. 1981) is known for physically imaginative, sym bolically fraught forms of assemblage. Her latest installation will touch on her Bronxbased family’s history, incorporating pieces from the living room of her grandmother, who came north during the Great Migration. And in the lobby, visitors will be able to re cord their own Bronx tales.

as small portrayals of the carryings-on of gods and kings (Nov. 19-May 14). Many of its 80 works have never been exhibited in this country. Most are big, and were made by Udaipur court artists in the 1700s. The in creased size encouraged more complex nar ratives — both urban and natural — ground ed in real life. Yes, Udaipur’s extraordinary palaces and gardens are present, but so are expansive views of modest neighborhoods in proto-cubist array and lush landscapes.

New shows that widen the beaten path

The show includes environments, photographs and videos and more than two dozen costumes that the artist created for himself and his longtime collaborator, sing er-songwriter-queer performer Taylor Mac, for “A 24-Decade History of Popular Music” (2016). MAD’s larger mission, presented with unusual clarity in the show’s catalog, is to examine queer excess as a survival tactic, aesthetic stance and political resistance.

“Xaviera Simmons: Crisis Makes a Book Club” at the Queens Museum (Oct. 2-March 5) is the largest exhibition so far de voted to one of the most talented artists of her generation. Simmons (b. 1974) has tack led the issue of Blackness both head-on and

“Queer Maximalism x Machine Daz zle” will honor the Museum of Arts and De sign’s acronym — MAD. It is surely among its wildest, most ambitious exhibitions (Sept. 10-Feb. 19). With 80 costumes on two floors, it pays tribute to the genius of Matthew Flower (b. 1972), better known as Machine Dazzle. His ensembles are models of ex cess that are living sculpture, if not walking assemblages, initially worn to clubs, street events and parades, and in performance (his first, in 1996, was at Exit Art).

Similarly, “Theaster Gates: Young Lords and Their Traces” will fill most of the New Museum with this artist’s first institutional survey in New York and largest anywhere (Nov. 10-Feb. 5). Gates’ activities cover a tremendous range, encompassing painting, sculpture, ceramics, video and installation, propelled by his activities as an archivist, col lector, preservationist historian and salvager.

With “Hear Me Now: The Black Pot ters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina,” the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in concert with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, ventures into the expanding study of 19th-century Af rican American visual culture (Sept. 9-Feb. 5 at the Met). It focuses on the Black potters who worked in the Old Edgefield District of South Carolina before, during and after the Civil War. The point of departure is the work of a literate enslaved artisan formerly known as Dave the Potter, and now as Da vid Drake. Skilled at throwing and glazing large stoneware storage jars, Drake signed his vessels and sometimes incised them with poems and abolitionist messages. At the Met Drake’s jars are joined by expressive face jugs by potters and clay artists whose names are as yet “Threadsunrecovered.ofPower: Lace from the Tex tilmuseum St. Gallen,” at the Bard Graduate Center, will give New York its first in-depth look in nearly 40 years at the history of this intricate, fragile and costly textile (Sept. 16Jan. 1). Organized in collaboration with the Textilmuseum in St. Gallen, Switzerland, the show presents scores of examples from the 16th to 21st centuries, including bobbinlace and needle-lace borders, bonnets, man telets and samplers. Lace’s modern allure is reflected in dresses by designers like Dior, Givenchy, Saint Laurent and Prada, and in the lemony felted lace and silk radzimir en semble that Isabel Toledo designed in 2009 for Inauguration Day in January 2009 when Michelle Obama officially became first lady. “Morris Hirshfield Rediscovered” at the American Folk Art Museum examines the life and art of Hirshfield (1872-1946), who retired from shoe manufacturing in 1935, began painting in 1937 and soon found his flattened, toylike figures and animals and weird, slightly tight textures lauded by folk art advocates and surrealists alike. Then in 1943, an exhibition of Hirshfield’s paint ings at the Museum of Modern Art set off a prolonged furor in the press (too clumsy, too risqué and — horrors — no right feet). It became the last showdown between Alfred H. Barr Jr., the museum’s founding director, and its trustees, who dismissed him. The first major Hirshfield exhibition in a New York museum since, this show (Sept. 23-Jan. 29) presents 40 of the 77 paintings the artist completed, along with remakes of his shoe designs.In 1936, German-born Swiss art ist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) made what is arguably the most notorious surre alist artwork of all time. An icon of sexual innuendo and disturbing physical contrasts, it is officially titled “Object,” but is known the world over as “the fur-lined teacup.” The teacup promptly traveled to the Museum of Modern Art to assume, some months later, a prominent place in its historic “Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism” exhibition of 19361937. It drew the ire of the press and some trustees, but became hugely popular. Still, MoMA never granted Oppenheim even a small solo show. This changes with “Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition” (Oct. 30-March 4), the largest Oppenheim survey yet in this country, organized with the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Menil Collection, Houston. It sets Oppenheim’s masterpiece among 180 of her objects, paintings and drawings.

Central to Gate’s art is the remembrance and reclamation of Black history and culture on Chicago’s South Side. Several recent reliefs have a more local source: discarded floor boards from the Park Avenue Armory.

in oblique, lyrical ways. Her art ranges, with almost unfailing success, from text-based paintings to figurative sculptures, staged photographs, videos and video installations and interactive, socially oriented pieces. It touches on cultural difference, the fusion of aural and visual experience and the sus taining effect of community and nature. This sprawling show will occupy much of the museum’s interior, and not a little of its ex terior.

This particularly American combination of flavors — shrimp and corn — is light, sum mery and very tasty, both sweet and slightly spicy. If you are feeling flush, you can make this pasta with lobster instead. Yield: 4 servings Total time: 30 minutes Salt and pepper 1 pound pasta, such as linguine or spaghetti 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small garlic clove, minced 1 1/2 pounds small shrimp, preferably wild, peeled and deveined, patted dry Generous pinch of red-pepper flakes

Shrimp pasta with corn and basil

1 anchovy fillet, plus more for garnish 1 small garlic clove 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon capers, chopped, plus whole capers for garnish 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper

1. Stir together the prosecco, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a small, chilled stain less-steel mixing bowl until the sugar dissolves. Place the bowl in the freezer, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until the mixture is semifrozen and slushy, about 2 to 3 hours. It will not freeze to rock hard, even if left overnight.

1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, lightly salted 1/2 cup green or black olives, such as Castelve trano or Moroccan, pitted, if desired Arugula, for garnish (optional) Dried Italian oregano, for sprinkling (optional) 1. Cut peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove stems, seeds and veins, then slice pep pers into strips about 1/8-inch wide.

2 tablespoons roughly chopped basil, plus more basil leaves for garnish 1. Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta to al dente ac cording to package instructions.

2. To serve, divide mixture across four wineglasses or small bowls. Top with berries. For the ultimate slushy consistency, add 2 table spoons cold prosecco to each just before serv ing.

Similar to the Italian cocktail sgroppino, which calls for a scoop of lemon sorbet, this recipe instead freezes prosecco and Meyer lem on juice for a fresher taste and a cooling dessert. The slushy concoction makes a refreshing fin ish to a meal, and, topped with raspberries (and more prosecco, if you wish), it looks festive, sort of like pink lemonade for grown-ups. Best of all, it stays fresh-tasting for several days, and never freezes completely solid. Yield: 4 servings Total time: 5 minutes, plus freezing 1 cup chilled prosecco, plus more to finish 1 cup Meyer (or other) lemon juice

At summer’s end, sweet peppers of ev ery color are ripe and ready, far better than the bland supermarket hot-house varieties available year-round. Thinly sliced and dressed with an assertive vinaigrette, these peppers make an ideal first course or antipasto. Yield: 4 servings Total time: 30 minutes

It’s bound to be at peak ripeness, juicy and sweet, no matter what it is. Peppers, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, fresh herbs, stone fruit, berries, melons: We are gleefully overwhelmed with choice. So here’s a menu that seizes the moment, without requir ing much in the way of effort: a zesty salad of marinated sweet peppers, a main-course pasta that requires only a pot of boiling water and a skillet, and an icy, refreshing dessert. All are utterly simple and customizable, to be embellished according to whim or happenstance find. Right now, sweet peppers of every color are ready, and far better than the bland year-round supermarket varieties. Look for Corno di Toro, a meaty Italian variety, in red or gold, or any local sweet peppers. Freshly picked, they have real flavor, and when thinly sliced and dressed with an assertive vinaigrette, they’re an ideal first course or antipasto component. Here, they’re built into a salad with capers, olives and anchovy that’s delicious as is, but could be upgraded to include halved cherry tomatoes, quality canned tuna or hard-cooked eggs. For the main, most Italian cooks wouldn’t gravitate toward the particularly American combination of shrimp and corn when setting out to cook pasta. But the fact is, it’s lovely, light, sum mery and very tasty. It’s really only the corn that’s a nontradi tional element.

Finally, to cool the palate and refresh the spirit, especial ly on a sweltering day, the Italian cocktail sgroppino comes to mind. It’s a slushy, lemony concoction, recipes for which usually call for a scoop of lemon sorbet and a shot of vodka. In experi menting, I found that, when stirred together, sweetened slightly and frozen, prosecco and lemon juice yielded similar results. The ingredients never harden completely, so it eats a bit like a soft sorbet. Topped with raspberries, it looks festive, but you can add any berry you like. Then top it with a splash of prosecco for what becomes a half-frozen drinking dessert — because, at sum mer’s end, we can all use a celebratory meal.

For the shrimp, choose the best available. Wild shrimp from North Carolina or Georgia is a good bet, fresh or frozen, but beware of too-cheap-to-be-true frozen shrimp, which don’t taste as good and most likely are not as sustainably or ethically harvested as wild shrimp. Then, cook them gently, to keep them tender.Aside from that, all you need is perfectly al dente pasta, extra-virgin olive oil, a bit of garlic, and a good pinch of redpepper flakes. (You could also use Calabrian peppers in oil.) It’s the balance of spicy, salty and sweet that you’re after. You could make this pasta even more deluxe with lobster or scallops in stead, if you’re feeling flush.

2. Make a vinaigrette: Using a mortar and pestle, smash anchovy fillet and garlic into a paste. Transfer to a small bowl, and add red wine vinegar and chopped capers. Stir in olive oil and season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

4. Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, whole capers, olives and anchovy fillets. Surround with arugula, if using. Sprinkle with oregano, if using.

4. Drain cooked pasta and transfer to a warm serving bowl. Pour skillet contents over pasta and toss. Sprinkle with scallions and chopped basil. Garnish with basil leaves.

3. Put sliced peppers in a large bowl. Sea son with salt and pepper, and toss. Add vinai grette and toss again. Leave for 10 minutes, then taste again and adjust seasoning. (The salad can sit for 15 to 20 minutes without suffering.)

1 teaspoon grated Meyer (or other) lemon zest 1/2 cup granulated sugar Raspberries, for garnish

Proseccoslushlemon

3. Raise heat to medium-high and add shrimp. Season with salt, pepper and red-pep per flakes. Cook, stirring, until shrimp puff and turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add corn and con tinue cooking until warmed through.

4 sweet bell peppers, in different colors

The dreamiest shrimp pasta anchors this summery menu

Bell pepper salad with capers and olives

2. As pasta cooks, put oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic. Cook gently without coloring, about 1 minute.

Marinated sweet peppers make a wonderfully zesty salad as a first course, and a shrimp-corn pasta topped with basil is an ideal follow-up.

There’s an eye-popping display at the farmers’ market right now. If you feel like cooking, meander the overflowing vegetable stalls, grab anything and take it home for dinner.

“When we’re not comfortable, we’re not at our best,” said C. Munro Cullum, a clinical neuropsychologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas. The discomfort of heat, and the energy it takes for the body to cool down, can lower overall resilience. So agitation, irritation and pain become less bearable, he said.Our bodies are also used to a certain baseline level of stress, said Dr. Martin Paulus, scientiﬁc director and president of the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who worked with Obradovich on his 2018 study. When the body attempts to regulate its temperature during a heat wave, he said, it adds additional strain and results in more stress and inﬂammation. People with preexisting mental health conditions may be especially vulnerable to the added heat stress, which can push their symptoms over the top, he said.As for what’s happening in the brain during extreme heat, that’s challenging to study, Paulus said. In a lab, you can experiment with how the brain and the rest of the body withstand a few minutes or possibly hours of high temperatures, but you can’t do that for days, weeks or months at a time — and it’s those longer exposures that are really important for understanding how climate change may affect us in the long run. But the fact that this link between heat and mental health is so consistent in people around the world suggests that the heat is doing something to the brain, Nori-Sarma said.

C, now 21, who has been on social media since the age of 10, in Salt Lake City, Oct. 25, 2021. As anxiety and depression soar among adolescents, researchers struggle to understand how exactly social media affects mental health.

By HANNAH SEO Tens of millions of people across the United States have been enduring heat wave after heat wave this summer, in what feels like an unrelenting succession of humid days and scorching temperatures. While there’s no denying that extreme heat and humidity can be physically uncomfortable, research suggests that such conditions can be trying on your psychological well-being, too. “We see across the whole spectrum of mental health” that heat extremes are damaging to mental well-being, said Nick Obradovich, a computational social scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and co-author of a 2018 study that analyzed the mental health risks of climate change.Studies have found links between rising temperatures and a range of mental health issues, including mental fatigue, aggression and even higher rates of suicide. This connection is not just limited to surges in temperature, Obradovich said, it’s also present for people living in climates where it is consistently hot. (Although of course mental health trends can depend on a variety of factors outside of temperature,Scientiststoo.) have yet to uncover why this may be and whether heat itself can cause brain changes that may lead to these effects. But regardless, experts say, it’s clear that oppressive heat is linked with worse mental health. What the Research Says Evidence suggests that “temperature extremes can inﬂuence everything from your day-to-day mood all the way up to your probability of experiencing an acute mental health crisis,” Obradovich said. One study published in JAMA Psychiatry in February, for instance, scrutinized the medical records of more than 2.2 million adults who visited emergency departments from 2,775 counties across the United States between 2010 and 2019. The authors found that there were about 8% more emergency department visits for mental health concerns on the hottest days of summer than there were on the coolest days. Emergency visits for issues like self-harm, as well as for substance use, anxiety, mood and schizophrenia disorders, all rose consistently in proportion with the temperature.Thistrendis “fairly uniform for both men and women, for adults of all ages and for people living in all parts of the U.S.,” said Amruta Nori-Sarma, an environmental health scientist at the Boston University School of Public Health and an author of the study. Other research has also found that higher temperatures may temporarily trigger relapses in people with bipolar disorder and that higher sunlight exposures could increase the risk of manic episodes. Higher temperatures have also been associated with deaths among people with schizophrenia and other mental healthSurveyconditions.data from 1.9 million Americans between 2008 and 2013 found that on days when temperatures exceeded 70 degrees, respondents were more likely to feel reduced joy and happiness, as well as increased stress, anger and fatigue, than they were on days when temperatures were between 50 and 60 degrees. These associations were especially strong when temperatures were above 90 degrees, the authors noted.

That means “neighbors checking in on neighbors, friends and families, making sure that everyone’s OK.”

What Is Going On In the Body?

It’s possible that the explanation for heat’s effect on mental health may come from a combination of these different existing theories, Obradovich added.

Other Potential Elements at Play

We also cannot forget about climate anxiety, Paulus said. Wildﬁres and heat waves, among other weather-related events, are increasing in frequency and intensity because of climate change. As global warming worsens, eco-anxiety might exacerbate other stress, anxiety, depression or even disaster-related post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, he added.Certain people are also more vulnerable to heat than others. In their 2018 study, Obradovich and Paulus’ team found that those with lower incomes experienced worse mental health effects from heat than those with higher incomes, and women experienced worse effects than men. Combined, they found that the effect of heat on mental health was twice as bad for low-income women as it was for highincome men. In the throes of a heat wave, it’s not always clear how to protect yourself. But being mindful of your heat exposure, staying hydrated and avoiding the heat when you can are always good options. Looking out for people in your community is also a powerful, overlooked strategy, Nori-Sarma said.

Some researchers have hypothesized that heat may cause an imbalance in brain signaling or inflammation in the brain. But another prominent theory is that heat causes sleep disruptions, which in turn can worsen mental health symptoms.Warm nights significantly worsen sleep, Obradovich said. “And we know from a large body of literature in psychology and psychiatry that insufficient sleep, sleep difficulties and insomnia are very closely linked to worse mental health status over time.”

How heat waves take a toll on mental

Thursday, September 2022

As for the weird anti-motion sickness glasses that were recommended to me by a friend, there isn’t yet scientiﬁc evidence on how well they work, but Bubka said she has heard anecdotally that they ease motion-sickness symptoms because their circular rims contain liquid that moves as your body moves, providing an artiﬁcial horizon. However, when my daughter wore them while watching her iPad on a car trip, she still felt sick, so I’m not convinced (but perhaps we should try them while she’s not on her iPad).

Some alternative treatments work better than others.

Kids do not typically start experiencing motion sickness until the age of 4 or 5, if they ever do, because their bodies have to ﬁrst build an internal model of what various motions should feel like, Golding explained. The peak age for motion sickness is about 8 — this explains my daughter — and susceptibility decreases over the tween years as kids’ bodies start to naturally habituate to and resolve these sensory conﬂicts. But, of course, many adults experience motion sickness, too.

I have succumbed to motion sickness from time to time — especially on boats — and I swear by the acupressure wristbands that push on a point three ﬁnger-widths above the wrist joint on the forearm. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this pressure point plays a role in regulating nausea. But research suggests these wristbands typically don’t work any better than a placebo, said Andrea Bubka, a psychologist at Saint Peter’s University in New Jersey. That said, the placebo effect can be strong, and Golding emphasized that if these treatments work for you or a family member, you might as well keep using them. (I certainly will, although they haven’t worked for my daughter.)

Prevention is the best cure.

This summer, we took multiple road trips, and we tried many remedies: moving her position inside the car, acupressure wristbands, bizarre-looking anti-motion sickness glasses, Dramamine. Some things worked better than others, and during each experiment, I wondered why motion sickness — nausea and vomiting induced by riding in cars, boats, planes or using virtual reality devices — occurs in the ﬁrst place. Why are some people more susceptible than others? Are there research-backed cures, or is trial-and-error really the best approach? I interviewed four motion sickness experts to get answers.

Usually, when you turn your head, take a step or initiate any kind of motion, your brain receives signals from your inner ear about what that should feel like. When you’re sitting inside a car or boat but still feel a sense of motion from the vehicle, your brain notices a sensory conﬂict and you start to feel sick. (Similarly, virtual reality devices cause motion sickness because your eyes receive motion signals that your body doesn’t feel.) Other experts, including Thomas Stoffregen, a psychologist at the University of Minnesota, argue that the body’s inability to stabilize itself while in motion plays a role.

Some researchers speculate that motion sickness evolved to protect us from poisoning. When our perceptual experiences don’t line up with what is expected, “the brain goes, ‘Aha, maybe I’ve been poisoned,’” said John Golding, an applied psychologist at the University of Westminster in Britain. We then feel nauseated and start vomiting, ostensibly to eliminate these potential poisons from the body.

When it comes to the effects of ginger, experts disagree. Stoffregen said that eating gingersnaps or ginger candies before a trip can help prevent motion sickness, as can sipping ginger ale, as long as it contains real ginger and not artificial flavoring. But Bubka said she hasn’t seen good research supporting ginger’s benefits.

The causes aren’t clear, but motion sickness may have evolved for a reason.

By MELINDA WENNER MOYER Road trips are never easy, but they are far more unpleasant when your child repeatedly vomits in the back seat because they’re carsick. I know, because that’s what happens whenever I drive more than an hour with my 8-yearold. She has now had enough practice to neatly throw up into a plastic bag, but I feel for her every time it happens and wonder what I can do to ease her misery.

Before a trip, he suggested practicing breathing in deeply and keeping your breaths slow and steady, and to try to do this while you’re traveling, too. Also, be on the lookout for early motion-sickness symptoms, which include yawning and fatigue, said Charles Oman, an aerospace engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who studies motion sickness. If you or a family member is starting to feel tired or sick and you’re in a car and have the time, it may help to make a pit stop until everyone feels better, he said. If possible, then wait an additional 10 to 15 minutes before starting to drive again. If you’re starting to feel sick and you’re able to lie down (something you probably can’t do in a car but perhaps in a boat), that may also help, he said.

Why we get motion sick, and how to stop It

Most experts believe that people feel motion sick when the parts of their brain responsible for maintaining balance receive conﬂicting sensory information, often due to a difference between what they’re feeling and what they’re seeing.

The best way to prevent motion sickness is to look out at the horizon when you’re moving in a car, boat or plane — this helps to eliminate the sensory mismatch, because your eyes see that you’re moving, Golding said. (You don’t, however, want to focus on the ground or trees rushing by, because that movement is too fast to provide you with a sense of stability.) When we shifted my daughter’s booster seat from the side of the back seat, where her view was of my headrest, to the middle, where she looked out the front windshield and saw the car moving, she was much less likely to feel sick. Golding also suggested trying to keep your head fairly still but added that it’s always a bad idea to read or look at devices, because you’re focusing your eyes on something that isn’t moving.Somemedications can help prevent motion sickness, such as those containing dimenhydrinate, meclizine or scopolamine. (All of these drugs cause drowsiness, and scopolamine can also cause blurred vision and problems urinating.)

He added that there is some research suggesting that focusing on your breathing can prevent motion sickness, too.

Golding emphasized that the medications work best when given 45 to 60 minutes before a trip starts, and that they don’t work as well — if at all — once motion sickness has set in. That’s in part because, once you feel sick, your digestion slows and the drugs are less likely to get into your system, Golding said. (Also, if you vomit, you’ll throw the drugs right up.)

One key tidbit I learned from my interviews is that it’s hard to alleviate motion sickness once it fully sets in on a given trip, so it’s far better to try to prevent it from happening or to take steps to alleviate it when it’s starting.

At a postgame news conference, Bird said she hadn’t wanted to leave the court so that she could “soak it all in.” She started to cry again. “I know the tears don’t look like happy tears, but there’s a lot of happiness,” she said. Aces coach Becky Hammon said it was “bittersweet” to have defeated Bird to end her “fairy-tale” career. Bird had 8 points and 8 assists in the loss.

Sue Bird sheds ‘happy tears’ as she ends WNBA career

Bird’s off-the-court influence has gone beyond politics to style. She is known for her love of sneakers, and her custom Nikes — from the signature line of the NBA star Kyrie Irving — have “Keep Sue Fresh” printed on them each night. But the core of Bird’s legacy is on the court.“That’s a legendary player right there,” said Aces guard Chelsea Gray, who scored 31 points and fueled Las Vegas’ victory in Bird’s final game. Stewart, who had 42 points in Game 4 for Seattle, said that knowing it would be her last game with Bird was more “devas tating” than losing. “That’s what hurts the most,” she said, adding that Bird had been a mentor and friend.Storm guard Jewell Loyd said the Game 4 loss was “obviously not how we wanted to finish for her.” Loyd added, “We’ve been very fortu nate to play with a generational player like Sue.”Bird said though her body felt good, she was not having second thoughts about retiring. But she will miss basketball. “There’s going to be nothing like this,” she said.Bird gave fans someone to believe in until the end. Her final points in the WNBA came on a layup with 21.8 sec onds to go Tuesday and Seattle down by 6. It was reminiscent of a play Sunday, in Game 3. The Storm turned to her when they were down by 1 point with less than two seconds to go. She sank a 3-pointer and held her follow-through, as her team mates went wild around her. Seattle would lose to the Aces in overtime, but that play was what this final season was for. One more chance to celebrate. One last moment with Bird.

Over the next 20 years, Bird would pile up honors, including a record 13 WNBA All-Star selections and five Olympic gold medals with the United States. Last year, she was voted to the W25, the WNBA’s list of the top 25 play ers ever as the league celebrated its 25th anniversary.“These athletes have played the game at the highest level on the court — they are scorers and rebounders, as sist makers and defensive stoppers, lead ers and mentors,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in announcing the W25. She added, “Together, they have transformed the way the game is played, changed the way athletes are viewed, become incredible role models and in spired generations of young, diverse ath letes.”Bird, who is engaged to the women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe, is one of the most visible gay professional athletes. For most of the WNBA’s history, its most prominent stars were not openly gay, and players have said that they felt pressured to conform to heterosexual standards of femininity. But Bird is among a wave of stars — including Brittney Griner, Seim one Augustus, Elena Delle Donne and Diana Taurasi — who have been open about their sexuality and spoken about LGBTQ rights and acceptance. Bird has also used her platform as one of the league’s biggest stars to sup port social justice causes, especially re garding Black women. And as the WNBA continues to push for the release of Griner, who has been detained in Russia on drug charges since February, Bird has been vo cal.

Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird is retiring from the W.N.B.A. after 21 years. She became emotional as her home crowd cheered for her after the Storm lost to the Aces on Tuesday.

Storm fans wanted one more year. Sue Bird gave it to them. She slicked back her signature po nytail, laced up her custom Nike sneak ers and added to her legend with a fare wellWhentour. the Storm set a WNBA singlegame assists record for the regular sea son with 37, eight of them were hers. She stretched her formidable margin as the league’s career leader in assists and inched higher on the steals and 3-point lists. She helped the Storm make the playoffs for the 16th time in the 19 sea sons she played. And then she was done.

“We all feel rattled by this and just want her home,” Bird said at a news con ference with Griner’s wife, Cherelle Gri ner, in July.

“I kind of feel like the girl that beat Serena,” Hammon said, referring to Ajla Tomljanovic, who beat Serena Williams in her final match at the U.S. Open last week. Williams said she planned to re tire after the tournament. Storm coach Noelle Quinn, who also played with Bird in Seattle, called Bird “the best point guard to ever play this Birdgame.”won four championships with Seattle, the last in 2020. That season showcased the traits that have come to define her: resilience and keen court vision. She missed half of the regular season with injuries. But she proved in valuable during Seattle’s six postseason games. Seattle never lost during that playoff run. Bird set a then-WNBA re cord for assists in a playoff game with 16 in Game 1 of the finals against the Aces. Then she had a double-double — 16 points and 10 assists — in Game 2. In the series-clinching Game 3, Bird spent the end of the fourth quarter on the bench laughing with forward Breanna Stewart. The Storm won by 33. “The fact that I’m sitting here, I think I’m having this, like, in-shock moment, because it doesn’t really feel real that we just won and that I was able to contribute in the way that I did,” she said afterward.

Much of Bird’s 21-year career has come as a surprise, if only because there wasn’t enough time for someone to ac complish such feats before her. “I really didn’t know what to dream,” Bird told The New York Times last month, “and so to sit here now with all the champion ships I have, I just feel really satisfied.”

The Storm drafted her No. 1 overall in 2002 out of UConn before the WN BA’s sixth season. She immediately be came Seattle’s franchise leader in assists, with 191 that year. She came in second for the Rookie of the Year Award, but she and the player who beat her — Indiana’s Tamika Catchings — became the first rookies ever named to the All-WNBA first team.

The Las Vegas Aces beat the Storm, 97-92, in Game 4 of their semifinal series Tuesday to advance to the WNBA Finals.

Baker Mayfield, traded to the Carolina Panthers this off-season, has touted the team’s matchup against the Browns, his former team.

Flacco, 37, downplayed any pos sible revenge angle when asked about facing the Ravens in mid-August, say ing, “I’m going to try to make sure it’s not the biggest deal in the world.” Most Jets and Ravens fans concur. Baker Mayfield can be forgiven for feeling otherwise. This time last year, Mayfield was coming off a breakout season in which he led the Cleveland Browns to their first playoff appear ance since the 2002 season. He was poised to earn the nine-figure second contract bestowed upon all successful young quarterbacks. A shoulder injury derailed Mayfield’s 2021 season, how ever, and in March the Browns leaped unexpectedly into the bidding war for the services of Deshaun Watson.

The Browns acquired the rights to Watson, then accused of sexual miscon duct in 24 lawsuits, from the Houston Texans in exchange for three first-round picks and change, signing him to a ful ly guaranteed, five-year, $230-million contract as part of the deal. Mayfield, meanwhile, waited for a trade. And waited. The Browns held on to Mayfield through free agency, when quarterbacks like Matt Ryan found new starting jobs. They held on to him through the draft, when quarterback-needy teams found affordable solutions. The Carolina Panthers, faced with the prospect of starting the season with former Jets quarterback Sam Dar nold under center, acquired Mayfield in exchange for a conditional 2024 mid-round draft pick in early July. The Browns and the Panthers even agreed to split Mayfield’s 2022 compensation like a couple going halfsies after a failed date. Mayfield was then forced to com pete with Darnold for the starting job, a sign that Panthers coach Matt Rhule is as lukewarm about the new arrange ment as everyone else. Mayfield, more quotable to a fault than Wilson or Flacco, got into a me dia tussle last week over just how col orfully he phrased his desire to defeat his former team to NFL Network’s Cyn thia Frelund. He also licensed “off the leash” T-shirts commemorating Sun day’s showdown, suggesting that he had been tethered in his former team’s offense. Media dust-ups and a flair for “dis tractions” marred Mayfield’s tenure in Cleveland, yet he has emerged as the most sympathetic character in his off season saga. And with the journeyman backup Jacoby Brissett starting for the Browns in place of the suspended Wat son, Mayfield earns a measure of re venge simply by showing up. T-shirts and semantics aside, quar terback revenge narratives tend to be contrived. Players typically feel a bit tersweet tangle of emotions when fac ing former teammates and coaches for the first time as adversaries, or when shunted to the visitors’ locker room of a familiar stadium. Anyone returning “home” for a visitation weekend after a divorce can relate. Venture onto any subreddit or into any corner taproom, on the other hand, and you’ll find seething fans who con sider a quarterback’s departure as dis loyalty or betrayal, either on the part of the player or of the team. Seahawks fans in particular may feel rejected by Wilson and eager for some comeup pance.Yet win or lose in Week 1, Wilson will remain in the spotlight, while the Seahawks will be wearing sweatpants on the couch until they find his replace ment. In the end, living well is indeed the best revenge.

By MIKE TANIER R ussell Wilson outgrew the Seat tle Seahawks over the years. To gether, they won the Super Bowl after the 2013 season, Wilson’s second in the NFL But Wilson continued to blossom at quarterback while the Se ahawks’ Legion of Boom defense slow ly faded and the organization grew less successful but more obstinate and needy.Itwas just like the most recent remake of “A Star Is Born,” but with Marshawn Lynch flattening defenders instead of “Evergreen.” After several seasons of whispered disenchantment, Wilson finally re ceived the trade he desired. Wilson, now leading the Denver Broncos, will return to Seattle to face the Seahawks on Monday night. Such reunions are traditionally touted as “revenge” games because the tropes of grindhouse kung fu movies — or classic Hollywood ro mances, for that matter — are far more compelling than the messy realities of NFL roster management. Before trading a hefty dowry of draft picks and players for Wilson, the Broncos spent the six seasons since Peyton Manning’s retirement swiping right on any quarterback whose dating profile read “tall, mature, willing to let the defense take charge.” Wilson, 33, who sealed his new bond by signing a reported five-year, $243-million con tract, represents the Broncos’ effort to expand their horizons and live a little. The Seahawks, by contrast, are still in the ice-cream-from-the-carton stage of the breakup. The former New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is their temporary starter in what could best be described as a relationship of mu tual desperation and pity. Wilson’s Broncos, legitimate Su per Bowl contenders out of the AFC, are 6.5-point favorites to beat the Seahawks, who are projected to be among the league’s weakest teams. Under the circumstances, mercy might be a more appropriate impulse than vengeance.Week1 of the NFL season may fea ture two other “revenge” matchups for quarterbacks. Such meetings are more common than in the recent past, when successful quarterbacks rarely changed teams, no matter how disgruntled both parties (and fans) became with the ar rangement.TakeJoe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens. Like Wilson, Flacco once led a team loaded with defensive stars to a Super Bowl victory early in his career. Unlike Wilson, Flacco’s development then stagnated: Ravens football in the mid-2010s felt like an endless succes sion of 53-yard field-goal attempts. Despite ever-diminishing returns, Flacco remained the Ravens’ starter until 2018, when Lamar Jackson ar rived and taught the Ravens how to have fun again. As employer-employee relation ships go, Flacco and the Ravens were about as good as it gets during latestage capitalism. Flacco is also four seasons removed from the Ravens. Af ter a short stint as the Broncos’ starter (see above), he became an on-and-off backup for the Jets. At publication, Flac co was still scheduled to start Sunday against the Ravens, though on Monday Jets coach Robert Saleh said that the second-year quarterback Zach Wilson might return from his preseason knee injury ahead of schedule. If revenge is a dish best served cold, Flacco’s must be dipped in liquid nitrogen.

In the NFL, revenge rarely follows breakups

The tournament in Fort Worth, about 30 miles west of Dallas, will be played at Dickies Arena, a 14,000-seat multipur pose venue that opened in 2019. The venue has hosted a rodeo, concerts, the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, and the first and second rounds of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Having the tournament in Texas this year brings the WTA Finals, which has had different names over the years, back to the United States for the first time since 2005, and it adds to the tour’s presence in the United States to end the year. After the U.S. Open, the WTA will have a 500-level tournament in San Diego in October and a 125-lev el tournament in Midland, Michigan, about 130 miles northwest of Detroit.

With China out, WTA to play finals in Texas

Ashleigh Barty of Australia won the 2019 WTA Finals, the most recent iteration of the tournament played in China.

BY JESUS JIMÉNEZ T he Women’s Tennis Association announced Tuesday that Fort Worth, Texas, would host its an nual season-ending WTA Finals this year.The tournament, which will begin Oct. 31, said it had a one-year agree ment to play in Fort Worth, “with the event thereafter due to return to Shen zhen, China.” But the WTA said the suspension of its tournaments in China remained in place, leaving the WTA Finals’ return to China in 2023 uncer tain.WTA tournaments in China have been suspended since December, when Steve Simon, the tour’s chairman and CEO, announced the decision, after Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai shared in a post online an allegation of sexual assault against a former top Chinese government official. In the following weeks, Peng, 36, was not seen publicly, and it was un clear whether she was safe or able to speak freely without interference from the Chinese government. She later de leted her post. In November, the editor of a staterun newspaper shared clips said to be of the Chinese tennis star on Twitter. But they were unverified, and Simon called them “insufficient.” The WTA had called for Chinese authorities to investigate the accusation and end censorship on the subject before sus pending tournaments. After Peng went public with her al legations, tennis fans were spotted at tournaments, including this year’s Aus tralian Open, with signs and T-shirts reading “Where is Peng Shuai?” Oth ers, including Serena Williams, took to social media to express concerns about Peng’s safety. “If powerful people can suppress the voices of women and sweep al legations of sexual assault under the rug, then the basis on which the WTA was founded — equality for women — would suffer an immense setback,” Simon said in a statement in Decem ber, announcing an effective boycott of tennis in China. “I will not and can not let that happen to the WTA and its players.”InFebruary, around the time Peng met with the International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach at the Beijing Games, Simon called for a chance to have a private meeting with Peng, adding in a statement that “we continue to hold firm on our position and our thoughts remain with Peng Shuai.”In an email Tuesday, a WTA spokesperson said the organization “continues to work towards a resolu tion in China and are hopeful we will be in a position to operate events in the region in 2023 and beyond but will not compromise our founding princi ples in order to do so.” The WTA’s stance has not come without a cost. China had been a fundamental source of financial sta bility for the WTA, with 10 events that accounted for about one-third of the tour’s annual revenue in 2019. The most profitable and recognized of those events was the WTA Finals, which offered record prize money of $14 million in 2019. The WTA gained some relief from that loss of revenue in March, when, after more than a decade without a title sponsor, it agreed to a multiyear deal with Hologic, a leading global medical device and diagnostics com pany focused on women’s health.

The WTA Finals have been roam ing the world for a home since 2019, which was the first year of what was supposed to be a 10-year deal that would have kept the tournament in Shenzhen, a city of more than 17 mil lion.But the following year, the WTA Finals were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, and in 2021, the tournament scrambled at the last minute to find a host and ended up in Guadalajara, Mexico, where Garb iñe Muguruza of Spain won the final against Anett Kontaveit of Estonia.

Answers to the Sudoku and Crossword on page 45Aries (Mar 21-April 20)

Need a trip, so you can let go of tension and recharge your batteries? Do it, as it will leave you energized and ready for anything. In the mood to reminisce? Lunar ties suggest you may have an urge to visit somewhere you haven’t been in a while. On a similar note, a reunion could be very warm and friendly, offering a chance to catch up, and perhaps to connect more frequently, Libra.

With a focus on the subtle sectors of your chart, the coming days can be an opportunity for one or more heart-to-heart conversations, that could leave you or another feeling a great sense of relief. Mercury in a private zone suggests a friend or family member may have a secret to share, or they might be keen to talk about conﬁdential matters that they’re not able to discuss with anyone else.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

With Mercury about to rewind in Libra, matters of health and wellness could become a priority. The coming weeks can find you eager to reflect on your lifestyle and habits, but also to find ways to simplify things, so you have time to unwind. The Moon in an authoritative zone makes encouraging ties too, inspiring you to believe in yourself, despite any challenges you may face.

Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)

If you have a choice, you might prefer being with friends or going on a sizzling date. Yet if you make the effort to dress up for it and you do go Aries, you’ll get more than you bargained for. It may be a little too organized for your tastes, but the people you meet and the outcome, can be a source of wonderful opportunities.

Saturn’s retro phase can reveal to you how much time you spend on key activities, and how much you get back in return. This might inspire you to get some tasks done more quickly, or you may be ready to scrap activities that are a waste of time. Streamlining your schedule could help you be more productive, Virgo. Ready for some fun? An impromptu outing can make your day.

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21)

You’ll be ﬁring on all cylinders when it comes to domestic projects and tasks. Even so, with lively Mercury getting ready to reverse, some planning can help get you up to speed. Make the most demanding tasks a top priority, and the energy you exert could allow you to channel and release any pent-up emotions. Have lots to do, Cancer? You’ll feel so good when it’s all ﬁnished.

The Moon in your sign aligns with sassy Jupiter, which could put you in the mood try something different. Your inquisitive side may play a part in what happens today, as it encourages you to look into anything that piques your interest. The people you encounter might prove fascinating and they can hold the key to new hobbies, a potential romance or an uplifting friendship.

The Moon in Aquarius makes some lively aspects that can build conﬁdence, and encourage you to be more adventurous.

You might want to do something that involves a leap of faith, so go for it, as it could lead to a breakthrough, Gemini.

Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)

This isn’t the time to sell yourself short Pisces, as Jupiter in Aries encourages you to appreciate your true worth. Feel that you’re being short-changed or perhaps taken for granted?

You may have logical reasons for feeling annoyed with someone, yet the Moon’s connection with Mercury in Libra, could see you empathizing with them and showing your caring side. In addition, Mars in clever Gemini encourages you to read between the lines, so you can understand why they’ve been behaving as they have. Whatever’s up, this is a good time to resolve it.

Even though Mercury is preparing to rewind in your sector of career, it’s still worth continuing with an important goal. Delays or other factors could be an issue, but with feisty Mars in the mix, you may feel a surge of enthusiasm that can inspire you to push on regardless. While it might not all be plain sailing, you could still make progress if you dive in and go with the ﬂow.
