Horoscopes Today – Russell Grant’s Star Sign Forecast for September 4th
Aries
Differences and differences in workplaces are starting to escalate. Disagreements over small details create distance between you and your colleague. If you want to keep this relationship harmonious, the best course of action is to refrain from arguing. Petty disagreements will end eventually.
Taurus
Don’t even consider the idea when a friend or colleague makes a wild suggestion. Avoid encouraging them to explain further, even lightly. Although you may be tempted to humor them, if they start taking it seriously, things can escalate and this can be problematic.
Gemini
Don’t be ashamed to let your partner or relative make your dreams and future hopes come true. There will always be someone who supports you, and while they do, don’t forget to express how grateful you are for their unwavering support.
Cancer
Your usual sharp intuition can be a little unclear when it comes to money. This is a sign that you should refrain from spending more wastefully, investing in get-rich-quick schemes or taking any kind of financial risk. Keep an eye on your wallet and check that your car is properly locked after parking.
Leo
You have more power over the situation than you think. It’s not as dark as you first thought. Some unexpected good news also brings comfort. Take charge and use your wits to overcome challenges and change your life. Staying productive boosts your confidence.
Virgin
Seeking leadership, acting on cues, and trusting your intuition can improve your business opportunities. Whether it’s business or romance, be sure to keep up to date with what your competitors are doing. A strategic approach will help you beat your competition.
Horizontal
It may be necessary to change the date due to an important meeting that requires your presence. Although this cannot be helped, the partner shows his irritation. You have too many other things to think about and are looking forward to devoting some of your time to a meaningful cause.
Scorpio
Be prepared to dig deeper if the information you expected to answer the question doesn’t reveal aspects of your concern. It is also important to ask why you should trust someone who is very mysterious. You’d better be suspicious of them.
Sagittarius
It’s not easy to hide your feelings when a close friend or partner does something that upsets you. Instead of being angry or resentful, ask if you can talk about it. Responding with simple acts of kindness can be another approach. This will help you avoid getting into arguments. Keep calm and choose kindness.
Capricorn
You feel a little confused and confused as you come to terms with the need to let go of old ways to build a more stable future. A new work project allows you to showcase your skills. Praise and recognition for your achievements will make you realize that you are making good choices.
Aquarius
Are you still waiting for the right moment to make changes? If so, you will finally realize that there is no such thing as perfect timing and things don’t magically happen by themselves. If you’ve been longing for something you can’t stop thinking about, the power is in your hands. Take responsibility and make it happen.
Pisces
You have great plans and they are all ready to present to a committee or higher authority. If you want to influence those in power, timing is of the essence. If you suddenly get the feeling that a senior official isn’t quite ready to listen to your ideas, it might be best to stick with them for now.
Zielińska: The days of late-night legal discussions are over
In the case of Natura 2000 areas that protect birds and bats, turbines would not be located within 1.5 km of their boundaries. The industry considered this a legal error and another setback that will make the development of onshore wind energy impossible. Where do such solutions come from, when not even environmental organizations advocated that this distance should be closer than 1.5 km?
Such voices were heard during the debate that took place in the Sejm on the occasion of the latest amendment to the Wind Farms Act, when the minimum distance from buildings was changed to 700 m. Environmental organisations then emphasised that buffer zones around national parks, nature reserves and Natura 2000 areas should be protected because of the flying creatures for which windmills can pose a threat. Therefore, we need to balance the votes for and against – explains Minister Zielińska.
– However, I want to assure you that the days of late-night legal briefings are over. This law will be consulted on, for now these are the provisions of the draft that is going through the government process. Therefore, we have invited such comments during the consultation phase and will take them into consideration. We want to develop wind energy, which has been blocked since 2016 and is one of the cheapest energy sources – he adds.

Red Magic Showcases Gaming Pad Ahead of Tomorrow’s Premiere
Gaming brand Nubia Red Magic is launching a new gaming tablet in two sizes. The company showed off the product on its Weibo page from all angles just a day before the official launch, revealing the design and some key features.
The tablet will be available in black and white, with a stripe imitating a transparent design. We can see the aforementioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version chipset, and the Red Magic logo will glow in different colors.

The tablet will have one usable camera on the back – a 50MP main camera with some AI capabilities. We can also see one front-facing camera in the renders, but its resolution will remain a mystery until tomorrow.
We can also see five pogo pins at the bottom (on the left side when held vertically), which indicates the Gaming Pad will support a keyboard with a cover and likely a stylus. There’s also a USB-C port between the two speaker grills.

Full details about the Nubia Red Magic Gaming Pad tablet will be released tomorrow, September 5. The launch will take place in China, so we will have to wait a bit longer to find out if the tablet will launch internationally.

By the end of the century, the number of heat deaths could increase several times over
Climate change will significantly increase heat-related mortality over the next 75 years, posing an unprecedented challenge to public health systems – this is the overall conclusion of a study commissioned by the European Commission, the results of which are published by Lancet Public Health.
Heat has already killed almost 200 people in the Balearic Islands
About 190 people have died this year in Mallorca and its neighbouring islands due to heat, experts say. While it is known that extreme temperatures can lead to serious health problems and even death, they are rarely officially recognised as a cause of death.
The study authors examined the current and estimated future risk of heat-related deaths based on observed weather conditions between 1991 and 2020 and for four climate change scenarios assuming a temperature increase of 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 degrees Celsius by 2100 in 1,368 European regions in 30 countries (27 EU Member States plus Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, excluding overseas territories). In formulating their predictions, they took into account, among other things, the age of the population and local socio-economic conditions.
Man is changing the climate, people are dying
The data presented aims to help authorities “mitigate growing health inequalities, prioritizing the protection of areas at increased risk (southern Europe) and older population groups”.
Researchers have estimated that one-third of heat-related deaths can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change, and increased mortality is observed on every continent.

John McCain’s son backs Harris and slams Trump over Arlington Cemetery incident
The incident involving Donald Trump’s campaign staff at Arlington National Cemetery was the final straw for Jimmy McCain, the youngest son of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
In an interview Tuesday with CNN, McCain said that after last week’s events at the cemetery, he registered as a Democrat and decided to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris this fall.
McCain, who recently returned from a military base in Jordan where three Army reservists were killed in January, said he changed party lines to honor his father and put “country first.”
“I love my family. I care about equal rights for everyone in this country. I care about all of that,” McCain said. “As long as I remained independent, I decided it was time to move on and do what I believe in.”
McCain called Arlington National Cemetery “sacred” and said three generations of his family are buried there. He called Trump’s incident in Arlington a “violation.”
Trump visited the cemetery last week with relatives of victims who died in the Abbey Gate attack on Kabul airport as the US withdrew from Afghanistan three years ago. According to the military, a member of Trump’s team “abruptly pushed aside” a cemetery official so campaign staff could take photos and videos in an area where they are normally prohibited. Trump’s team has disputed the military’s account.
“Arlington Cemetery is to go and pay respect to the men and women who have given their lives for this country,” McCain said. “When you make it political, you take away the respect of the people there.”
McCain also said he has never forgiven Trump for calling his father a “dummy” and that he “wasn’t a war hero” because he was held captive.
“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015 comments. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
Trump, who never served in the military, then said, “He’s a war hero because he was captured. OK, I believe — maybe he’s a war hero.”
John McCain was tortured and spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in response to McCain’s remarks on CNN that “there has been no greater defender” of the military than Trump.
“President Trump rebuilt the military after eight years of decline under Obama/Biden, secured the largest pay raise for our troops in a decade, and became the first leader since Ronald Reagan not to start another war and put our troops at a disadvantage,” he said.
Trump has repeatedly disparaged John McCain over the years, even after the Arizona senator’s death in 2018.
John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain wrote on Tuesday X that she is still a Republican but will not vote for Trump or Harris in November.
“I have great respect for the political opinions of everyone in my family and I love them all very much,” Meghan McCain wrote. “However, I remain a proud member of the Republican Party and hope for brighter days ahead.”
The Harris campaign promoted McCain’s endorsement for vice president Tuesday in press releases and on social media.

Bodnar joins Tusk’s attack on the First President of the Supreme Court!
Justice Minister Adam Bodnar expresses concern about Tuesday’s decisions by the First President of the Supreme Court, Małgorzata Manowska, regarding the Chamber for Labor and Social Security of the Supreme Court – we read in a statement provided by the Ministry of Justice.
The Supreme Court announced on Tuesday morning that from Tuesday onwards – until the President appoints a Supreme Court judge to serve as the President of the Labor Chamber of this court – the work of this Chamber will be managed by the First President of the Supreme Court, Małgorzata Manowska. Some Supreme Court judges questioned this interpretation of the regulations – according to them, the Chamber in this situation is headed by the most senior president of the division of this Chamber, namely Judge Dawid Miąsik.
After hours On the 16th, a message was published on the website of the Supreme Court announcing that President Manowska had authorized Judge Miąsik to carry out activities related to the organization and management of the Chamber for Labor and Social Security. The current situation of the Chamber for Labor and Social Security of the Supreme Court is due to the fact that the term of office of the current president of this chamber, Piotr Prusinowski – a judge appointed by the National Council of the Judiciary before the changes in 2018 – expired on September 2 of this year.
In the evening, the Ministry of Justice website published a statement by Minister Bodnar on the situation in the Labor and Social Security Chamber of the Supreme Federal Court.
Minister of Justice Adam Bodnar expresses concern about today’s decisions by the First President of the Supreme Court, Małgorzata Manowska, regarding the Chamber for Labour and Social Security of the Supreme Court
– we read in the statement.
As noted, “the Minister emphasizes the need to maintain the standards resulting from the applicable legal provisions, which clearly indicate who should head the Chamber at the end of the term of the President of the STF, while no successor has been chosen.”
The statement stated that, according to applicable legislation, Prof. Małgorzata Manowska “has no authority to manage the Chamber of Labour and Social Security, nor does she have the authority to authorise a judge to carry out activities related to the organisation and management of this Chamber”.
Firstly, because she was incorrectly appointed to the Supreme Court (which is confirmed by numerous judgments of the ECHR and the CJEU) and then to the post of First President of the Supreme Court.
– he emphasized.
Secondly, because, in accordance with the duly implemented Law on the System of Common Courts, the ex lege management of the Labour Chamber was taken over by the longest-serving chairman of the Labour Chamber department, Supreme Court Justice Dawid Miąsik. In 2018, on this legal basis, Katarzyna Gonera was appointed to manage the Labour and Social Security Chamber, and Wiesław Kozielewicz was appointed to manage the Criminal Chamber.
– recalled in the statement.
Therefore, today’s decisions by the First President of the Supreme Court remain incompatible with the applicable regulations and do not produce legal effects.
the statement said.

Is Bitcoin Cooling After ETF Rally? The Next 28 Days Could Determine Its Direction
Crypto market sentiment is at its lowest point in over a year, with Bitcoin still hovering around $60,000. Despite analysts searching for catalysts that could propel the price to new all-time highs, nothing seems to be working for Bitcoin at the moment.
According to Miles Deutscher, Bitcoin has fallen below this range and is now retesting the lower boundary, which was previously a support level and has now become resistance. He said that $58,400 is an important level relative to the first major all-time high in February 2021 and Bitcoin is currently trading near this level. The next 28 days are crucial as the monthly close will determine the future price direction. The analyst suggests that this downtrend can continue until a “circuit breaker” occurs.
Given the upcoming elections and other major macro events, we typically see better market conditions in Q4. We may have to endure a few more weeks of bumpy markets, but the analyst believes we could see an uptick in activity and volume as Q4 begins.
Why are retail investors leaving the market?
The analyst noted that many retail investors have left the market and it is still unclear when they will return. Bitcoin flows have been negative lately, which has contributed to the price drop. Interestingly, Bitcoin has deviated from its usual pattern of following tech stocks.
While the NASDAQ has continued to rise, Bitcoin has lost some of its gains. This may seem worrying, but when you look at the bigger picture, it is less worrying. After a strong rally following the ETF news, Bitcoin is naturally cooling down.
Miles also said that Bitcoin’s current price movements are very similar to what happened in the summer of 2021. While history doesn’t always repeat itself, these similarities could mean that Bitcoin and the crypto market could see big gains in the last quarter of 2024.
Harris presents Biden’s balancing act in Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH – Kamala Harris doesn’t want Joe Biden’s baggage. But he also trusts her to help him win the election.
Nowhere is that more evident than in Pennsylvania, the critical battleground where Biden spent his childhood. While working-class voters here still blame the president for high prices — and sigh with relief that the cantankerous Biden is no longer on the ballot — many still think of him as “Union Joe.”
For Harris, who appeared with Biden on the campaign trail here Monday, Biden’s deployment is both an opportunity and a risk. Biden remains an unpopular president, and Republicans are seizing on his position in his administration to convince voters that Harris would be Biden 2.0 if elected. In a nod to this political reality, Harris isn’t expected to campaign with Biden every weekend or put pictures of him in every ad.
But Harris’ team is still planning to deploy Biden strategically, particularly in Pennsylvania and other Rust Belt swing states where he remains most attractive.
It’s no coincidence that Harris chose a day to work at the Pittsburgh union hall, where members in green IBEW t-shirts topped with hot dogs, sauerkraut and a red-white-and-blue sheet cake. that. Many Democrats believe Harris has the opportunity — and the need — to broaden his support among union members, some of whom have drifted to Donald Trump even though he has won most of the popular labor votes. When Biden ended his re-election bid in July, Harris agreed to meet with the Teamsters, a union that had maintained an icy distance from Biden and refused to endorse him.
“President Biden has long had a very close, special relationship with Pennsylvania, but especially with the workforce of Western Pennsylvania. If you think about his 2020 campaign, many of the unions in western Pennsylvania are the unions that have been with him from the beginning,” said Democratic Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, who is from the former steel city outside Pittsburgh. “He’s going to be a very strong replacement for Vice President Harris when we’re going into election day, especially with that group.”
In Pittsburgh, his first campaign stop with Biden in the battleground state since he officially became the Democratic nominee, Harris sought to invigorate organized labor, which Biden treated assiduously, reminding the crowd that mail-in voting in Pennsylvania would begin in a few days. He hailed Pittsburgh as “the cradle of the American labor movement.”
Speaking to an audience of more than 600, the setting was much more intimate than the arena-rocking protests Harris has led in recent weeks.
But the rhetoric was much the same. Angry at his opponent, Harris ripped Trump for opposing minimum wage increases, appointing “union busters” to the National Labor Relations Board and cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy. “America has tried these failed policies before, and we’re not going back,” he said.
Harris also announced in Pittsburgh for the first time his position — shared by Biden and Trump — that US Steel “should remain American owned,” a priority of the United Steelworkers union, which opposes its proposed sale to Japan’s Nippon Steel Corp.
Harris, along with the labor leaders who spoke before him, touted Biden’s record and touted it as their shared legacy, highlighting union jobs created as a result of the administration’s biggest legislative achievements.
Singing “Thanks, Joe,” Biden delivered a speech that touched on his Scranton roots, his history with Labor Day celebrations in Pittsburgh and his administration’s pro-union bona fides. He talked about walking the line as president and passing bipartisan infrastructure legislation, saying Trump, in contrast, “didn’t rebuild anything!”
He promised that Harris would “build on the progress” of his administration and be “a historic pro-union president.”
The Pittsburgh stop was part of a multi-state Labor Day strike by Harris and his running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Walz campaigned in the swing state of Wisconsin at a Laborfest event, where he argued that the so-called “blue wall” is strong and strengthened by unions: “If those guys think there’s a crack in the Blue Wall, they’re sadly mistaken.”
Meanwhile, Harris kicked off Monday’s swing rally with union members in Detroit, acknowledging the city’s seminal place in labor history and its hard-earned achievements while vowing to continue her fight in the Oval Office.
“Trump is a scab!” the crowd shouted, encouraged by Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.), walking among the picnic tables that filled the parquet floor before the speech began.
Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement: “Kamala Harris is spending the Labor Day campaigning with her accomplice Joe Biden in a desperate attempt to sway the American people. Meanwhile, this Labor Day Americans are working harder than ever to afford gas, groceries and rent because Kamala Harris broke our economy and is proud of it.
Harris’s strategy of campaigning alongside Biden, albeit cautiously, is a gamble: Most voters think the economy is on the wrong track, and the vice president is a loyal member of the Biden administration, which many of them believe is to blame.
Right now, he’s trying to thread the needle, sympathizing with voters about inflation and promising to crack down on price gouging, as well as promoting Biden’s popular records, such as capping insulin prices, in his TV ads.
Polls show Trump leads Harris among voters on who they trust to manage the economy, but recent polls show his lead narrowing.
Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the GOP vice presidential nominee, are trying to convince voters that Harris is responsible for the parts of Biden’s financial record they don’t like. At a campaign stop in Michigan last week, Vance said “Kamala Harris has been calling the shots” in the Biden administration.
In Pennsylvania, where many in the GOP have known Biden for decades, some Republicans are making a slightly different argument. In an interview over Labor Day weekend, GOP Rep. Mike Kelly, who represents parts of western Pennsylvania, emphasized Harris’ California roots and described him as too liberal for voters here.
Kelly said Harris is not nearly the kind of Pittsburgh Democrat that President Biden is.
“If you talked to Pittsburghers, they would recognize Joe Biden, wouldn’t they? Scranton, blue-collar, Catholic, strong working man. Now I think with Vice President Harris, this is an entity that they don’t really know,” he said. “And why would they? You’re from California, you have a completely different ideology and different thoughts than we have in Pittsburgh.
Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), who first met Harris as a Los Angeles-based labor director when Harris was running for attorney general, acknowledged the vice president has “room to grow” among union households. But he said Harris has been a champion of labor throughout his career.
“He’s going to be at least as profitable as President Biden,” he said. “But I think the opportunities ahead for our country will allow him to be more pro-Union.”
