Smoke from wildfires has worsened over the past decade, potentially reversing decades of improvements in Western air quality made under the Clean Air Act, according to research published Thursday from Stanford University.

As investors digest another 0.75 percentage point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, government bonds may be signaling distress in the markets. Ahead of news from the Fed, the policy-sensitive 2-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.006% on Wednesday, the highest level since October 2007, and the benchmark 10-year Treasury reached 3.561% after hitting an 11-year high this week. When shorter-term government bonds have higher yields than long-term bonds, known as yield curve inversions, it's viewed as a warning sign for a future recession. Higher bond yields create more competition for funds that may otherwise go into the stock market, Winter said, and with higher Treasury yields used in the calculation to assess stocks, analysts may reduce future expected cash flows. What's more, it may be less attractive for companies to issue bonds for stock buybacks, a way for profitable companies to return cash to shareholders, Winter said.
LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - London Metal Exchange (LME) warehouses saw 11,200 tonnes of copper arrivals on Tuesday, the largest single-day warranting since June. LME inventory remains ultra-low by any historical yardstick, representing just two days' worth of global usage. At their peak of 175,000 tonnes in February last year they dwarfed registered LME copper inventory of 74,000 tonnes. Registered exchange stocks combined with LME shadow and INE bonded stocks represent the total statistically verifiable copper inventory landscape. Global Copper stocks, including LME Shadow and INE bonded...WHAT YOU CAN'T SEEThere is obviously more copper "out there" in the statistical dark.

Nike is working to tie together inventory held by stores, retail partners, and warehouses. The company's connected-inventory plan also plays into a larger Nike shift to more regional shipping, including out of a wider fleet of Nike stores and warehouses.

Oregon's interim vice president for student life, Kris Winter, said in a statement Saturday night that "the university apologizes for the despicable chants made by some University of Oregon fans at today’s football game with Brigham Young University." The Oregon Ducks won the game Saturday at their Autzen Stadium 41-20. "The offensive chant from our student section directed towards BYU during the football game last night does not align with our Trojan values," USC's athletic department tweeted at the time. BYU won that game, played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, 35-31. It is unclear whether the chants from University of Oregon fans could be heard on the television broadcast of Saturday's game, according to the Deseret News.
At an annual meeting last week, Nike CEO John Donahoe once again talked about "connected inventory."

While most of Nike's stores are in major metropolitan areas, stores are increasingly popping up in second-tier cities. "Connected inventory is about getting it to you faster.
Utah County Attorney David O. Leavitt speaks on July 31, 2019, in Provo. The accusations were part of a new case from Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith. Discussion about satanism and satanic abuse has increased in recent years, according to data provided to NBC News by Zignal Labs, which analyzes social media conversations. Popular culture and social media have also ferried ideas about satanism and widespread child abuse from fringe to the mainstream.

Off-duty pilots representing six U.S. airlines are planning an "informational" picket line Thursday at airports nationwide, ahead of the busy Labor Day weekend, to demand better working conditions and benefits. They will be picketing outside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Detroit Metro Airport and Reagan-National Airport in Washington, D.C., from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Alongside staffing issues, surging post-pandemic travel demand and weather-related issues have brought unprecedented challenges to air travel this year. This will be the third informational picket line this year as pilots seek to negotiate new contracts. "When ALPA pilots stand shoulder to shoulder in support of shared goals, people notice—our airlines notice," the Air Line Pilots Association said in a release.

A new analysis found the Norwegian capital, Oslo, to be the world's best city for work-life balance. The top six cities for work-life balance as determined by the software company Kisi were all European, and no US city ranked in the top 10. According to Kisi's data, workers in Oslo take on average 25 days of vacation a year and get 707 days of paid parental leave. The city also scored highly for remote working, quality and availability of healthcare, and air quality. The surge in remote working means some people have used the past two years as an opportunity to relocate.

O americană din statul Utah, care are 17 copii și o mulțime de nepoți, a arătat lumii că nu ești niciodată prea bătrân pentru a învăța lucruri noi, obținând diploma de absolvire a liceului la vârsta de 92 de ani, informează Fox News, citat de libertatea.ro. Barbara Stanley a avut o viață împlinită, deși poate nu chiar viața pe care și-a propus-o. În cazul Barbarei, ea a fost ajutată de administrația liceului să-și finalizeze studiile liceale. Și, după câteva luni de la reluarea școlii, femeia de 92 de ani a primit un pachet prin poștă. Când l-a deschis, în el se afla diploma de absolvire a liceului în 2021, alături de o tocă și de o robă.
