German inflation accelerated to its highest level since December 2023 and seasonally adjusted unemployment rose back above 3 million in September, illustrating the challenges still facing Europe’s largest economy after a stronger-than-expected first half of the year. Harmonised inflation in Germany rose to 3.3% year-on-year, preliminary data from the federal statistics office showed on Wednesday, showing the impact of the energy price shock of the Iran war. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast the EU-harmonised consumer price index at 3.2% in September, compared with 2.9% the month before. Energy inflation rose to 14.9% in September from 10.5% in August, and in line with the trend in other big euro zone economies. “Inflation currently remains an energy price phenomenon,” said Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro at ING. “As long as core inflation remains subdued, some European Central Bank members might question the need for further hikes.” Core inflation, which excludes the volatile prices of energy and food, remained unchanged for the third consecutive month at 2.4%. Cost-of-living concerns have been a factor in a series of defeats this month for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s party in state elections, with far-right and far-left parties proving successful. To help citizens deal with fuel prices sent soaring by the Iran war, Merz’s federal government will cut taxes on gasoline and diesel by €0.17 ($0.20) per litre from Thursday until the end of December. Headline inflation is set to fall when the new fuel duty cut takes effect, before rebounding again as the tax cut expires, said Claus Vistesen, chief euro zone economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. Labour Market Sluggish In seasonally adjusted terms, the jobless figure grew by 12,000 to 3.01 million, labour office figures showed on Wednesday, taking it back above the politically sensitive 3 million mark for the first time since April. Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted an increase of 1,000. The seasonally adjusted jobless rate remained stable at 6.4%. The overall unadjusted number of unemployed people dipped slightly under the 3 million mark in September after sitting above that figure for two months in a row. The autumn pickup in Germany’s labour market typically begins in September, but this year’s start has been sluggish, labour office head Andrea Nahles said in a statement. “The economic improvement is not yet reaching the labour market,” Nahles added. Gross domestic product in Europe’s largest economy grew more than expected in ‌the first half of the year, leading economic institutes to revise up their forecasts, but the economy lost steam in the third quarter. Looking ahead in the labour market, a cyclical stabilisation should be in the making, said Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro at ING. “However, the structural trends are likely to continue,” he added, pointing to cost-cutting measures across the automotive industry and the high level of bankruptcies. Economists warn that the recovery of Europe’s biggest economy in the first half of the year is not yet self-sustaining as high energy prices and economic policy uncertainty are weighing on household consumption. German retail sales rose less than expected in August, increasing by 1.3% compared with the previous month, data showed on Wednesday.

By Lineth Fernandez Tim Irvin II at BHFC Tim Irvin II, a colonel with the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO), doesn’t back down from a challenge, even when it’s literally his heart on the line. Over the course of his more than 30-year career in law enforcement, the 51-year-old husband and father moved up the ranks to become BSO’s executive director of the department of detention and community programs. No stranger to high levels of stress and physical exertion, Tim felt healthy and strong until he began noticing unusual fatigue playing basketball with his son. Tim mentioned these symptoms to a doctor he saw for high cholesterol. While his blood work was good, further testing, including an echocardiogram and stress test, found something he didn’t expect. He had a heart attack sometime in the previous two years that he didn’t know about. “An estimated 20% of heart attacks are classified as silent heart attacks,” said Kenneth H. Zelnick, M.D., an interventional cardiologist and cardiac rehabilitation medical director at Broward Health Medical Center who saw Tim after his surprising diagnosis. “Though the symptoms may be mild and easy to miss, silent heart attacks can do as much damage as traditional heart attacks,” said Dr. Zelnick. “That’s why it’s so important to know your risk factors and to pay attention to your body.” Symptoms of silent heart attacks can include fatigue, shortness of breath, mild chest discomfort, nausea, indigestion, lightheadedness or discomfort in the back or jaw. To further evaluate Tim’s heart, Dr. Zelnick performed a cardiac catheterization procedure. “Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to identify conditions like blockages or valve issues,” said Dr. Zelnick. “Sometimes, depending on the location, severity and number of blockages found, patients can receive a stent, which is a mesh tube that opens a blocked artery, during this procedure.” After the procedure, Tim learned that they had found blockages in three major coronary arteries that were so severe he needed a triple bypass and had to stay in the hospital until he could have surgery. Enter Alexander Justicz, M.D., a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon with the Broward Health Physician Group. “Given the number and severity of Tim’s blockages, he needed a triple bypass surgery,” said Dr. Justicz. “This is an open-heart surgery in which we use healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body to bypass the blocked coronary arteries.” Bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), is the most common major heart procedure performed in the U.S., according to the American Heart Association. After Tim was admitted to the hospital, Dr. Justicz and his team walked him and his family through the surgery and what to expect. “He was absolutely very, very informative,” Tim said. “He sat down with us, answered all my questions and didn’t rush us. He spent time with us and made us feel as comfortable as possible going through this kind of process.” The surgery, which took place in September 2025, was a success, and Tim stayed in the hospital for eight days. After approximately five weeks of recovery, Tim threw himself into his cardiac rehabilitation program, which included 36 sessions at Broward Health Medical Center. “The people in the cardiac rehab program are great people and their support was priceless,” said Tim. B.S.O. Col. Tim Irvin, II In late October, Tim returned to work in a light duty capacity. And in May 2026, he took part in the Broward Health Foundation’s annual spin-a-thon that raises money for the health system’s cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Today, Tim wants to take care of himself and to be a good example for his family, friends and colleagues. He met the challenge head on and says the experience helped him realize what’s important and what’s not in life. “It really put things in perspective for me, that I need to not only enjoy this life but make sure I do what I can do to help the people around me,” said Tim. “Hence the reason I’m sharing my story.” The post Heart of a Fighter: A Colonel’s Journey from Silent Heart Attack to Triple Bypass at Broward Health appeared first on The Westside Gazette.

An anonymous employee has described an abrupt end to their four-year stint at a company after submitting a two-week resignation notice and allegedly being terminated within minutes. The worker said they had prepared a detailed handover after securing a new job. Their account prompted others to share experiences and differing views on loyalty, job security and workplace exits.

Pirates of the Caribbean actor Geoffrey Rush has said he's keen to make a return to Disney's swashbuckling franchise, if only to "annoy Jack Sparrow" one last time. Rush is one of just three actors to appear in all five Pirates of the Caribbean movies, alongside Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow and Kevin McNally's loyal first mate Gibbs. And while we don't know yet which characters are set to return for Disney's long-awaited sixth blockbuster, all signs point to several classic characters being brought back.Of course, Rush's character Hector Barbossa died in the finale of 2016's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the franchise's final film to date. But even this would not necessarily stop him from returning, Rush believes. "There's been a big enough break," Rush told Entertainment Weekly, discussing his desire to return. "I said, you know, I sacrificed myself for my daughter, I don't want it to be too easy and too cheesy that I come back and go: 'give me another payday.' I respect the scale of the opera that's almost been created in that 20 year period. "I liken it to... Shakespeare," Rush continued, "and Hamlet's father coming back as a ghost. I thought, that would take good writing but just to come back and annoy Jack Sparrow for one more go. I'd even say, get the fans to write in what they'd like to see happen."Back in August, Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he was now talking with Depp about his own potential return to the franchise, despite previous comments by the actor that made such a return seem extremely unlikely, as Disney mulled other, alternative routes forward for the franchise. Depp's past legal issues with ex-wife Amber Heard saw Disney largely distance itself from the star, leading to some choice words from Depp in response. Long-gestating plans have placed Barbie star Margot Robbie at the forefront of Pirates 6 if and when it does ever materialize. That said, Bruckheimer has previously confirmed his intent that "some" previous Pirates of the Caribbean actors would return for the next movie, while also offering "a new take" on the franchise overall. Depp, meanwhile, appears to have retained a strong affection for his role as Jack Sparrow, which is widely seen as his most popular character among his fans. Fellow Pirates star Orlando Bloom has strongly hinted he wants to see Depp back, as well. Could Rush also follow? Get writing those letters.

Rollingstone Drive between Pine Grove Road and Anglers Drive in Steamboat Springs will close to through traffic starting Monday, Oct. 5 for a four-week sanitary sewer replacement project, according to a Wednesday statement. The project will begin at the entrance to Sundance Condominiums and continue south across Anglers Drive along Rollingstone Drive to the northern intersection of the Selbe Apartments driveway. Anglers Retreat residents must use Anglers Drive to enter and exit the subdivision during the construction period. Native Excavating, awarded around $250,000 for the improvement project, will replace an underperforming sanitary sewer main, including roughly 448 linear feet of existing six-inch and eight-inch PVC sanitary sanitary sewer main and associated services. Construction activity will be limited from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the road expected to remain closed for up to four weeks depending on construction conditions. “Replacing aging and underperforming infrastructure is an important part of maintaining a reliable sewer system for the community,” said Public Works Director Jon Snyder in the statement. “Projects like this allow us to address infrastructure needs before they become larger problems, while helping ensure the system continues to serve residents safely and reliably.”

A judge is mulling a request by the daughter of the president of Cameroon to set aside the bench officer’s previous ruling allowing the default process to begin against the woman in a lawsuit brought by a singer from that nation. On May 22, Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Shirley K. Watkins ordered the entry of default against both Anastasie Brenda Biya Eyenga, the daughter of Cameroon President Paul Biya, as well as Eyenga friend Marie Therese Yabit. The allegations in the complaint by Cameroonian singer Dencia alleges civil harassment and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Eyenga later asked for a reevaluation of the ruling. The judge heard arguments on the reconsideration motion on Tuesday and took the issues under submission. Biya, 93, has been serving as the second president of Cameroon since 1982. An entry of default is a formal court order recognizing that a party, usually the defendant, has failed to respond to a lawsuit or appear in court within the legally allotted time. It acts as a legal admission of the claims in the complaint but does not automatically grant relief or money. In his court papers, Eyenga’s attorney said that during the relevant period, Eyenga lived in Geneva, Switzerland, and that Yabit also lived outside California, putting both beyond the legal reach of a California court. The defense attorney also said that a defendant’s legal assistant had been ordered to file a motion to quash, but failed to do so. In yet another ruling in March, the judge said that rather than personal service, which Dencia has been unable to perform, the plaintiff could perform alternative service by posting the summons on Eyenga’s social media accounts, sending a copy of the summons and complaint to her attorney, emailing a copy of the summons and complaint to Eyenga’s last known address and filing proof with copies of the tasks along with a sworn declaration that all of those steps were taken. But according to the defense’s recent court papers, the March order applied only to Eyenga and did not authorize alternative service on Yabit. Dencia’s real name is Reprudentia Sonkey. She is known for her fashion statements and appearances on red carpets at the Billboard Music Awards, the Grammys and the American Music Awards. In addition to being an entertainer, Dencia has created several skin care and clothing brands, set up various businesses and founded the skin care brand Whitenicious by Dencia, of which she was the president and CEO, the suit states. Her companies flourished due to her reputation as a popular Cameroonian singer and trustworthy entrepreneur in skin care products, the suit additionally states. Dencia has also designed outfits for such artists as Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Christina Milian. In July 2015, Dencia was contacted by Eyenga’s public relations manager, who told the plaintiff that Eyenga, who eventually moved to Beverly Hills, admired her work and wanted her help in producing a photo shoot and in setting up her own brand, the suit states. Eyenga returned to Cameroon in 2019 and the two lost contact, the suit states. In June 2021, Dencia was preparing to go to Cameroon the next month in the company of other musicians, including rapper Trey Songz, when a representative for Eyenga allegedly contacted the plaintiff about a birthday engagement and performing at Eyenga’s new hotel. Eyenga asked Dencia for help getting her Instagram account certified, the suit states. But in a subsequent dispute, Eyenga accused Dencia of creating a fake account and trying to impersonate her, even though the plaintiff explained she was preoccupied with the death of her sister from cancer and could not help Eyenga get her account certified as the plaintiff had hoped, the suit states. Eyenga, allegedly with Yabit’s help, accused Dencia on social media of identity theft and of being a “scammer” and a “fraudster,” the suit states. A hearing on the Eyenga-Yabit motion to set aside default is scheduled Oct. 20.

Charlie Sheen is heading back to a regular sitcom lead, and his real-life father will be sharing the screen with him. Charlie and Martin Sheen will play father and son in Happy Jack, a new half-hour comedy ordered for AMC and AMC+. The six-episode first season is scheduled to begin production in Los Angeles in early 2027 ahead of a premiere later that year. PEOPLE reported that the show will film before a live studio audience at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, putting Charlie back into the multicamera format that defined much of his television career. Charlie plays Jack Chambers, a lifelong underachiever with two grown daughters who turned out well despite their father’s shortcomings. Martin plays Jack’s father, whom AMC says deserves considerably more credit for how the women were raised. “It’s no secret that it’s been a minute, and I’m thrilled to be going back on television in such a meaningful way in an equally wonderful show,” Charlie said in AMC’s announcement. He added that “the crew has reassembled,” a reference that carries extra weight because several members of the creative team previously worked with him on Two and a Half Men. Jack’s Daughter Brings Home a Boyfriend His Own Age View this post on Instagram A post shared by People Magazine (@people) The family conflict begins with Jack’s two daughters, Kate and Sam. Kate runs her father’s company and helps keep his life functioning, while AMC describes Sam as the “wild child” who takes more after Jack. The situation changes when Sam comes home with Paul, a former investment banker who has abandoned that career to become a van-life guru. Jack is stunned to discover that his daughter’s new boyfriend is the same age he is, forcing him to confront just how detached he has remained from his daughters’ adult lives. TheWrap reported that the official logline ultimately frames Jack’s dilemma as a choice between continuing to put himself first or treating the disruption as a final opportunity to become an active part of his daughters’ lives. ‘Two and a Half Men’ Veterans Are Running the Series Happy Jack reunites Charlie with writers Jim Patterson and Matt Ross, who will write, executive produce and serve as co-showrunners. Both previously worked on Two and a Half Men, and the pair later collaborated on another multicamera comedy, Netflix’s The Ranch. Charlie is also an executive producer alongside Todd Christopher, Eric and Kim Tannenbaum, Jason Wang and 20th Television. TheWrap reports that the series is produced by AMC Studios and will shoot in front of a live audience on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank. The format brings Charlie back to familiar territory after more than a decade without a regular sitcom lead. PEOPLE notes that his last starring sitcom was FX’s Anger Management, which ran for 100 episodes from 2012 through 2014. Charlie and Martin Have Played Father and Son Before The fictional relationship in Happy Jack continues a screen history that stretches back nearly four decades. Martin played the father of Charlie’s ambitious stockbroker Bud Fox in Oliver Stone’s 1987 film Wall Street. They repeated that father-son setup on television years later. CBS News reported in 2012 that Martin had been cast as the father of Charlie’s character on Anger Management, with Charlie saying at the time that the characters would have a complicated relationship. CBS also noted that Wall Street had previously paired them as father and son. : Martin has also appeared with his son on Spin City and Two and a Half Men, but Happy Jack gives the two actors something different. They are being introduced together from the outset as the central father-son pairing instead of Martin entering a series that Charlie was already leading. AMC Is Moving Into Traditional Multicamera Sitcom Territory The production style also makes Happy Jack unusual for AMC. The Hollywood Reporter describes it as the network’s first multicamera comedy, a format more closely associated with broadcast sitcoms than the dramas and single-camera series that have traditionally defined AMC’s scripted lineup. AMC Studios president and AMC Global Media chief content officer Dan McDermott said the project is “definitely something new for AMC.” McDermott also has his own history with Charlie, having worked with him during the actor’s Spin City years before later moving into executive leadership. AMC plans to present Happy Jack to international buyers at MIPCOM in October before production begins in early 2027. The network has announced a 2027 debut on both AMC and AMC+, but no exact premiere date has been set.
