A few days after federal officials raised doubts about widespread reports of mysterious night-time drone sightings in New Jersey, a top member of President Joe Biden’s cabinet said Sunday that people are indeed seeing drones in the skies over the Garden State. After weeks of speculation and some downplaying, it might be drones clouding the skies of New Jersey for several weeks after all. Well, at least some of them are drones, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday morning. ”There’s no question that people are seeing drones,” Mayorkas said during a television interview on ABC’s “This Week.” “I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings,” he said. For weeks, officials have been inundated with thousands of reports of people seeing colorful drones flying in the night sky across parts of New Jersey. There have also been similar reports in neighboring East Coast states of late. New Jersey officials have said they don’t know what the objects are or where they have come from, sparking mass speculation, concern, and frustration among residents and local officials. But on Thursday, federal government agencies cast doubt on the legitimacy on the reports. John Kirby, national security spokesman for President Joe Biden’s administration, said at a press briefing, said it appears “many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.” The FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security put out similar statements that day. That drew stunned reactions from Jersey officials. State Sen. Jon Bramnick , R-Union, who is running for governor , said: “Bigfoot might be a myth, but the drones in New Jersey are very real. The response from the Department of Defense and the White House is unacceptable.” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas speaks Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024, during a briefing at the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) AP Mayorkas struck a more open stance Sunday during his interview on ABC. “Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones,” he said. “Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. But there’s no question that drones are being sighted.” ”I want to assure the American public that we are on it,” he said, before calling on Congress to expand local and state authority to help address the issue,” Mayorkas added. He added that it’s “critical, as we all have said for a number of years, that we need from Congress additional authorities to address the drone situation. Our authorities currently are limited and they are set to expire. We need them extended and expanded.” ”We want state and local authorities to also have the ability to counter growing activity under federal supervision,” he added, echoing sentiments from local officials. On the same show Sunday, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he and his wife saw drones above their New Jersey home two days ago. The Christies have houses in Mendham and Bay Head. ”I can’t tell you the number of people that have come up to me concerned about it,” Christie said. “To say this is not unusual activity, it’s just wrong.” ”When people see this kind of activity, it’s a newish technology to most people, and they’re worried about it and concerned,” he added. “It’s a lack of communication from the government at the federal and state level that’s at fault here.” Gov. Phil Murphy has said officials have no reason to believe residents are in danger because of the drones, but he has said it is “frustrating to have no answers.” He also said the state needs more help from the federal government.”We need them to be bigger, faster, stronger,” Murphy said Wednesday during a radio interview .

Details are as follows: Declaration – 12/06/2024 Ex-Date – 12/18/2024 Record – 12/18/2024 Payable – 12/30/2024 Fund Ticker Distribution Per Share Prior Distribution Per Share DWS Municipal Income Trust KTF $0.0610 $0.0610 The Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income each year through its regular monthly distributions and to distribute any realized capital gains at least annually. In addition, in any monthly period, to maintain its declared per common share distribution amount, the Fund may distribute more or less than its net investment income during the period. In the event the Fund distributes more than its net investment income during any yearly period, such distributions may also include realized gains and/or a return of capital. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Fund’s net asset value. It is estimated that a portion of the Fund’s December distribution consists of a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of a shareholder’s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of its monthly distribution. As required by Federal securities laws, the Fund will issue a notice to its common shareholders in connection with its monthly distribution that contains information about the amount and estimated sources of the distribution and other related information. The final determination of the source and tax status of all distributions paid in 2024 will be made after the end of 2024 and will be provided on Form 1099-DIV. Important Information DWS Municipal Income Trust. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds, and there may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Leverage results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any gains or losses. Although the Fund seeks income that is exempt from federal income taxes, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may be subject to federal, state and local taxes, including the alternative minimum tax. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to the net asset value. The price of a fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction. Certain statements contained in this release may be forward-looking in nature. These include all statements relating to plans, expectations, and other statements that are not historical facts and typically use words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” ”estimated” and similar expressions. Such statements represent management’s current beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Management does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: (i) the effects of adverse changes in market and economic conditions; (ii) legal and regulatory developments; and (iii) other additional risks and uncertainties, including public health crises (including the pandemic spread of viruses), war, terrorism, trade disputes and related geopolitical events. War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in US and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its investments.

Adam McKay says fans of "Wicked" may want to see the movie ASAP ... 'cause he worries politicians may try to ban it for it's message. The Oscar-winning writer and director took to X Monday ... saying the hit film based on the Broadway musical is one of the most radical big budget Hollywood films he's ever seen -- claiming it's "about radicalization in the face of careerism, fascism, propaganda." He likens the film to other progressive movies -- like "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "The Sound of Music," "The Searchers" and "Citizen Kane." Then, McKay makes a bold claim ... saying the way the U.S. is trending politically, he wouldn't be surprised if the movie is banned in three to five years -- given the way American politics is going. Of course, many online were incredulous ... saying there's no chance any film -- especially a musical like "Wicked" -- would ever be banned. But, McKay stayed persistent ... saying people who think there's no chance certain films or books could be banned aren't seeing the full picture. "Wicked" has resonated with audiences since coming out in later November ... grossing nearly $600 million internationally -- and, part 2 of the story is set to come out late next year. Just like the musical, the film deals with themes of racism and discrimination ... with characters prejudiced against Elphaba -- the Wicked Witch of the West -- because of her green skin. Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media. Conservatives online blasted a British film board for the "woke" disclaimer about the movie last month ... so there's already back lash among some. And, Adam seems convinced American audiences soon won't be allowed to watch it at all.21 dead as Mozambique erupts in violence after election court ruling

Schumer urges Congress to use precise techology for demystifying drone sightings in NYC

The judge presiding over the trial of accused New York subway vigilante Daniel Penny has granted prosecutors' request to dismiss the first and most serious charge of manslaughter, reported NBC News — leaving the jury to deliberate the less serious charge of criminally negligent homicide. Prosecutors asked for the dismissal because the jury was intractably deadlocked over the more serious charge. Under the rules of New York criminal procedure, the jury couldn't even move on to deliberating on the second charge without making a decision one way or the other on the first. However, the jury was not told that prosecutors had made the request. The jury is set to resume deliberating Monday on the criminally negligent homicide charge. ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: Senate Dems consider whether Biden should ‘clear the slate’ and pardon Trump Penny, an architecture student and veteran of the Marines, was charged after an incident last year, where he encountered Jordan Neely, a former Michael Jackson impersonator who was homeless, behaving erratically on the subway and saying he didn't care if he died or went back to jail. Penny placed Neely in a chokehold that lasted several minutes, ultimately leading to Neely's death. Penny pleaded not guilty to the charges and said he never meant to kill Neely, only using enough force as he saw necessary to protect other passengers from someone he believed to be a threat, until police could arrive. The case has become a massive political debate , with many right-wing commentators hailing Penny as a hero trying to keep the subway safe, and criminal justice advocates accusing him of murder and violent racial profiling. It has also inflamed debate over whether large cities around the country have competently addressed civil order, homelessness, and mental health care.FIFA World Cup projected to bring nearly 25k jobs to Canadians

Philip Morris Intl's PM short percent of float has risen 22.64% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.02 million shares sold short , which is 0.65% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.79 days to cover their short positions on average. Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises. Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish. See Also: List of the most shorted stocks Philip Morris Intl Short Interest Graph (3 Months) As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Philip Morris Intl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted. Comparing Philip Morris Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis. According to Benzinga Pro , Philip Morris Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.72%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers. Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.

The company's HereHear AI therapist solution will be the key focus of the program, driven by the vision of revolutionizing mental health with AI-powered virtual solutions. To learn more about HereHear, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngU32WgiWf4 "HereHear is here in the US, and I am truly grateful to the Berkeley Skydeck IPP Program for recognizing its potential," noted Lynia Huang , Bamboo Technology's CEO. "As important as mental health has become in recent years, there is a shortage of mental health providers and access to support is low — and HereHear is paving the way for AI to bridge that gap as a first line of defense." A growing case for incorporating AI into mental healthcare With data showing that the US is in a mental health crisis, the CDC recently noted a dire need for public health initiatives that create environments centered around mental health. Specific to the workplace, the Society for Human Resource Management's Employee Mental Health in 2024 Research Series found that 44% of US employees feel burned out at work. The combination of a shortage of mental health providers in the US with the flourishing capabilities of AI builds a strong case for the technology to be deployed in the form of human-guided mental health solutions. HereHear's YangYang: A personalized 3D virtual therapist As organizations seek out ways to empower team members to take better care of their mental health, AI is increasingly emerging as a solution for on-demand, personalized support. Offering a more engaging interaction than chatbots, HereHear's 3D virtual therapist YangYang was launched in January 2024 and offers: YangYang has already been implemented in several therapy clinics and has helped 70% of users improve stress and depression levels by 25% within 3 months. Taking the form of a sheep further distinguishes her — this functions both to provide a 'cute' aspect lending to the warm, healing emotional support she provides, while also helping users who are struggling emotionally to keep in perspective that their interactions are ultimately not with a human. Bringing success in Taiwan to the US market Bamboo Technology's acceptance into the Berkeley Skydeck IPP Program is a major accomplishment as the platform seeks to enter the US market. Batch 19 has only 117 startups out of around 2300 applications, and the program will support HereHear to develop, pilot and launch, as well as to pitch for funding. The company aims to target the app in the human resources space—as a tool for companies to offer staff for on-demand, privacy-first mental health support. Back in Taiwan , the app already has hospitals, mental health clinics, universities, publicly listed companies, and government agencies that use it, similarly spurred by a shortage of mental health workers. About Bamboo Technology Established in November 2018 , the Taipei -based Bamboo Technology is a mental health technology innovation company that focuses on improving public mental health with voice emotion analysis technology. It embraces a belief that a universal, objective, and scientific mental health system can effectively solve the problem of deteriorating mental health in today's society — a core tenet upheld by its many psychologists; social workers; and information management, AI and big data experts.

More info A former top flight referee has claimed Rangers should have been awarded with a penalty in extra time of a cup final epic against Celtic. Speaking on Record Sport’s Hotline Live, ex-grade one whistler Des Roache insisted VAR Alan Muir should have spotted Liam Scales hauling down Vaclav Cerny inside the penalty box. And Roache believes Muir broke with protocol by failing to tell ref John Beaton to take a look at the flashpoint for himself on the pitch side monitor. Roache said: “The laws of the game state that, if you are pulling a player outside the penalty area and it continues inside the penalty area it’s a penalty kick. “Going by the footage we are seeing, Liam Scales clearly has a hold of Cerny whose foot is on the line. The line is part of the penalty box so therefore it should have been a penalty. You’ve got to go by fact. And the factual letter of the law is that’s a penalty kick. “I don’t understand why VAR didn’t pick it up because that’s what VAR is there for. It’s there to pick up obvious errors and they have the benefit of hindsight and being able to slow down the camera. So I was very surprised that it wasn’t given.

But it was only when I saw the stills I thought, ‘You know what? That one wasn’t right!’. “I don’t think you need to draw any lines. What you need to do is get John across. Certainly, if it was me, I’d have asked the referee to come across and say, ‘Look, I’m not sure about this. You might want to take a look at it’. “If John didn’t want to take it on a review that’s absolutely fine. No problem at all. But I think it’s your duty as a VAR, when you are looking at it with that technology, and when there’s a seed of doubt in there. And there was certainly a seed of doubt as soon as I saw it.”
