Real Estate Super-PACs Bring Boettcher Back, Batt Martha In City Council Races – The Village Sun
LINCOLN ANDERSON | Let's "unpack" it….
Eric Boettcher's five City Council District 3 primary opponents are furiously lashing out at the leading candidate after a super-PAC real estate paid to mail on his behalf.
But Boetcher, for his part, criticizes the PAC, saying he does not want his support and demands that he "stop all spending immediately."
Meanwhile, in an unusual twist, a leading tenant advocate and Boettcher ally argues that the Real Estate PAC really wants Boetcher to be defeated, fearing him more than any other challenger. A proponent argues that the Boettcher mailing list is a ploy designed to rekindle District 3's (Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen) passions against development, turning them against the leading candidate.
The $ 13,000 mailing list in question was paid for by a group called Voters of New York, a super-PAC funded primarily by major real estate stakeholders. In addition to Boettcher, the group reported support costs for five Council candidates in other constituencies.

– Jeff Coltin (@JCColtin) June 10, 2021
Meanwhile, the Common Sense NYC supercomputer subsidiary, largely funded by developer Stephen Ross and billionaire Ron Lauder, reported spending in 22 Council races, both for and against candidates. This latter group, for example, issued a mailing list against Christopher Marthe in District 1 in Lower Manhattan and one for Julie Menin in District 5 on the Upper East Side, again, each mailing cost about $ 13,000.

All six candidates in the District 3 race reportedly have pledged not to accept any real estate or corporate money from the PAC.
While candidates have limits on how much their campaigns can spend under campaign finance laws, PACs are not limited by spending rules. As a result, they are, in some cases, accused of over-influencing elections.
Other District 3 race candidates issued a joint press release on Saturday denouncing the super-PAC mailing list and arguing that it proves Boetcher, former chief of staff for Council Speaker Corey Johnson, is the preferred candidate in real estate. The five candidates include Phelan Dante Fitzpatrick, Marnie Halasa, Aleta LaFargue, Lelise Bogosion Murphy and Arthur Schwartz.
"Big Real Estate's message to District 3 voters is clear: their nominee is Eric Boetcher," the candidates said in a joint statement. "Their letter arrived in the mailboxes of voters today. The donors of this PAC are mega real estate developers such as Silverstein Properties and Rosewood Group. "
"The fight for affordable housing is one of the most important missions in my life," LaFargue said. "I thought that everyone in this race shared this vision. Unfortunately, I was wrong. "
"It's both frustrating and unsettling," Bogosian Murphy said of the Super-PAC mail program supporting the botcher. "Voters believe that we are open about our plans and priorities. This trust is extremely important to me, and we, as candidates, must show that we deserve it. "
"Eric Boetcher doesn't care about working New Yorkers," Fitzpatrick said. "How do we know?" He says he "will not accept contributions from developers." But in reality, he quite agrees that the money for external corporate real estate is being used to promote his campaign, rather than protecting those in our the area desperately needs more affordable housing. "
The controversial postal agent touted Boettcher as "a seasoned leader."
However, Schwartz said, "His experience has done nothing for the displaced rent-tenants and people living in NYCHA, whose buildings only deteriorated further during Bootcher's tenure in the city government."
Halasa said: "Anyone in the district who complains about the land grab for elite development, gentrification and the crisis of closing small businesses should understand that Eric is responsible."
However, Boetcher has issued a statement of his own stating that he did not ask for GAC support and does not want it.
"I condemn these independent spending and urge their sponsors to stop all spending immediately," he said. "This is not what I asked for, this is not what I know nothing about, and I want it to stop. From day one, our campaign hasn't taken a dime from developers, those who work for a lobbying firm, or corporate PACs. We are a massive local campaign. There is too much money in politics. I have struggled with this for many years. That is why I strongly support the overturning of the Citizens United court decision – either by overturning the judgment or by a constitutional amendment. Such external costs are detrimental to our country. "
In a 2010 Citizens United ruling, the US Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment prohibits the government from limiting independent (or "external") campaign spending – as opposed to direct campaign donations – by corporations, billionaires, and the PAC.
Longtime tenant advocate Michael McKee, Treasurer of Tenants PAC, has defended Boetcher. McKee, a Chelsea resident, expressed the idea that the developers were actually wary of the candidate and that the mailing list calling for votes for Boettcher was actually aimed at getting people to do the exact opposite. At the same time, he noted that Tenants PAC has approved three of the six candidates, including Boettcher, who are supported by New York voters.
"I think they are actually trying to hurt these candidates by saying that they are in the troubled pocket of real estate," McKee said. "Because they know Eric is not going to vote for [their projects]… They don't need Eric. It's really insidious, it's destructive, "he said of this supposedly deceptive super-PAC strategy as he described it.
"It would be very dangerous in this area if the candidate were considered the favorite of big real estate," McKee said.
The sender marks their main sponsors in small print in the upper left corner. They are all real estate organizations.
"I don't think that any of the candidates are running [in District 3] will contribute to development, "McKee said. "But any of them will be less effective than Eric. I can't imagine why they did otherwise, "he said of his theory that the super-PAC mailer is in fact a deceptive device against the botcher.
McKee said he spoke to Botcher on the phone about the mailbox and advised him, "I said, 'Don't let this confuse you. This is what the real estate lobby does. "
"I worked with Eric Boettcher for many years," he said. "In 2015, he was arrested and 15 of us sat outside Andrew Cuomo's office protesting the lifting of control over the vacancy. This is someone who has worked against the real estate lobby throughout his career. "
McKee noted that eight years ago, the New York City Real Estate Board similarly sent out emails on behalf of candidates he believed were in favor of real estate, including Margaret Chin. The current super-PAC mailings for this primary come very late, just after the start of early voting and less than two weeks before the primary. But the 2013 mailings came earlier in the electoral cycle, and Chin continued to resist calls to withdraw support from REBNY and to condemn the mailings.
"We went through this eight years ago," McKee recalled. "I think the term of office of 21 councilors was limited. There will be even more fluidity in the Council in this election. REBNY is configured [the PAC] Jobs is in New York and spent about $ 5 million more than is being spent now. "
According to McKee, Tenants PAC will not endorse Chin in 2013 because she will not make a statement denouncing Jobs for New York's independent spending on her campaign.
"She said, 'I have no control over what they do,' McKee said. "I said, 'Margaret, that is not the question. Are you going to make a statement to stop them? 'We interviewed Jennifer [Rajkumar, Chin's Democratic primary opponent] but we decided to remain neutral.
"She was good at rent, but poor at development," McKee said of Chin. "She supported all sorts of fuzzy development plans – NYU expansion plan, and she supported the demolition of this historic building. [on the Bowery] and built an office building. "
Meanwhile, John Fisher, who runs the TenantNet website, urged Boettcher to withdraw from the race.
"At the start of the campaign, Boetcher said he was not bought by real estate interests …" Fischer said. "It is clear that this was a big lie. He must immediately withdraw from the race and allow the rest of the candidates to compete in an honest and transparent manner. "
The newsletter against Christopher Marthe, which was funded by Common Sense NYC, a super-PAC funded by developers like Stephen Ross and billionaire Ron Lauder.
Additionally, District 1's Christopher Marthe has been the target of NYC's Common Sense superpack, whose recent mailing attempts to portray him as lenient on crime. Mailer quotes statementas reported by The Village Sun, he spoke out about the deprivation of funds by the police during a candidate forum last October organized by the Downtown Independent Democrats. The letter, citing a statement released by Tribeca Citizen, also claims that Marthe "supports the closure of all prisons."
Marthe responded to the letter, stating, "Actually, Stephen Ross is too dangerous for the city council. We cannot allow the chairman of Associated Companies to determine the future of our municipality. If he decides to spend his money on our massive campaign, it is because he knows that I will never let him convert his newly acquired Section 8 buildings into luxury housing. If one of Trump's biggest supporters attacks our campaign, that should be a signal to voters that I am the only candidate acting as a Democrat, committed to fighting for workers, safer communities, and affordable places to live.
"The letter sent by Ross's superpackage spreads lies about my position and tries to intimidate voters," Marthe said. "Everyone knows that I fully support the refusal to build a new prison in Chinatown, but Ross is trying to imagine that this is bad. I mentioned in the forums that NYPD should not have million dollar robot watchdogs and that we should use funds to ensure that EMS workers receive more minimum wages as they respond to the many crises in our communities.
"Every candidate in this race has called for NYPD reform, but I'm the only one Ross is targeting because we threaten his personal wealth, which he, in turn, uses to donate to Donald Trump and many far-right people. He knows that what this campaign is about is powerful, and that will mark the end of his plans to squeeze out long-term tenants and small businesses and turn Lower Manhattan into the next Midtown.
"I hope voters will remember my long experience in protecting vulnerable people, protecting safe streets and investing in our neighborhoods, and not fooled by Ross's baseless attack."
Sean Sweeney, for example, one of the top DID members, said the PAC is targeting Marta because he is the leader in the District 1 race and the developers see him as a threat. Last October, he REALLY supported Marthe with an overwhelming majority.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard expects to see an instant reaction from his players following their Betfred Cup semi-final defeat by Aberdeen.
Gerrard's revival of Rangers suffered a major setback on Sunday when they lost 1-0 at Hampden.
It was a fifth consecutive semi-final defeat without finding the net for Rangers and Gerrard admitted there was a "serious lack of quality" in the final third.
The former Liverpool captain wants to see evidence that his players are hurting and eager to atone when they host second-placed Kilmarnock in the Ladbrokes Premiership tomorrow night.
"We'll do what we do, nothing changes," Gerrard told Rangers TV. "We'll try and recover, we will analyse, debrief and besides that we hope some players self-reflect and we get a reaction. That's what you have to do.
"But this one will be tough to move on from straight away because of the stage, because of the opportunity that's gone by.


Lady Long Rider is Bernice Ende, a member of the Long Riders Guild, and it is also the title of her book that I was loaned recently. My friend who loaned it suggested that I would find it interesting in part because she saw the parallels between my love of Norwegian Fjord Horses and Bernice's, who thinks they are the perfect long-riding breed. My friend was right, I found the book very worth reading. Click here to go to Ende's website and read news about her book tour.
I got a kick out of Bernice's description of her 'dog and pony show.' When I worked in the high tech industry, we used this term to describe our displays at trade shows, among other things. Bernice's use of the term is of course quite literal. Her dog, on some of their long-riding trips, rode in a box mounted on her Fjord, and the combination was very eye-catching. In fact my friend who loaned me the book saw this dog-and-pony-show once along a road in Wyoming several years ago, and it was an image she never forgot! The picture here is of my own dog-and-pony-show; my Australian Shepherd Sadie was my constant companion no matter the work Torrin and I were doing. Spending so much solitary time in the company of my dog and my ponies is another shared experience I have with Lady Long Rider.
You could easily say that long riding is about a life perpetually in transition. My life is in transition at the moment in many dimensions, and while I am not a long rider, I greatly appreciated Bernice's many explorations of a life in transition. And I realize how lucky I am to have my dog-and-pony-show life!
Ende, Bernice. Lady Long Rider: Alone Across America on Horseback. Helena, Montana: Far Country Press, 2018, p. 99-100.
You can find more stories about my dog-and-pony-show life in my book The Partnered Pony: What's Possible, Practical, and Powerful with Small Equines, available internationally by clicking here or on the book cover.

THAILAND - The expansion of Cobb activities to serve the Asian region was the focus of interest for the company at the VIV Asia exhibition in Bangkok, Thailand, where its booth attracted thousands of customers from all over the continent.

Roy Mutimer, vice president of Cobb for the region and EMEA, commented: "We are pleased to be at VIV Asia where we are able to strengthen our business relationships with our valued customers in the region.
"With our strategic focus on Asia Pacific, Cobb has invested in a grandparent complex now in production in China and a regional office in Shanghai. We also plan on building a great grandarent complex in New Zealand dedicated to supply Asia. "
Pelayo Casanovas, Cobb general manager for Asia, referred particularly to the launch at the show of their latest male product – the Cobb MV.

Business Steady for Consumer-Focused REITs
11/14/2012 | by
Article Author(s)
Carisa Chappell
Consumer-focused REITs are finding that customers' spending has been steady, according to panelists at a Nov. 14 session during REITWorld 2012: NAREIT's Annual Convention for All Things REIT at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego. The panel of REIT CEOs also said they're seeing growing benefits from their use of technology.
The panel was moderated by Steven Sakwa, senior managing director with the ISI Group. Panelists included Jon Bortz, chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB); Daniel Hurwitz, president and CEO of DDR Inc. (NYSE: DDR); Spencer Kirk, chairman and CEO of Extra Space Storage Inc. (NYSE: EXR); and Robert Taubman, chairman, president and CEO of Taubman Centers Inc. (NYSE: TCO).
"Our customer base has an education and no fear of losing their jobs. Consumer spending has continued at extraordinary levels," said Taubman, referring to his company's retail properties.
In the storage sector, Kirk noted that demand for his company's product is predicated on need, so the consumers will always be there.
"The interesting thing about self-storage is that it is need-based. Storage is recession-resistant because it does well in good times and in not so good times," Kirk said. "With virtually no new supply coming to the market, it's been a very good thing for our operators."
The increased use and dependence on the Internet has meant different things for different sectors, according to the panelists. Yet, all agreed that they've been able to leverage the Internet and new technological applications to their advantage.
Kirk said that while the yellow pages phone book was once the main avenue for customers to find his company, it's now obsolete today. Instead, the bulk of customers come from the Internet. Additionally, he said technology has allowed the company to take advantage of resources that smaller operators don't have.
"The single greatest asset we have today is our data on our customers," said Kirk, adding that the data allow them to easily communicate with customer and change pricing based on how customers find them.
Bortz said one of the negatives in terms of technology is that various third-party sites have disconnected the hotel REIT from some of its customers.
"To a great extent, it's taking value away from the brand and moving it to another player in the industry," he said.
However, Bortz said that roughly 35 percent of his business comes from leisure customers. Most of the company's customers come from business and group travel.
"What we've seen over the last four to six months is that businesses have gotten more concerned about their business and the fiscal cliff," he said.
Despite what many thought, the Internet is not a threat to retail REITs, according Hurwitz.
"Conventional wisdom wouldn't be wise if everyone said people shopped online and stopped coming into bricks-and-mortar stores," he said. "The bottom line is we feel the Internet has been a great distribution channel for multi-channel retailers."

Registrations for AFL Queensland Coaching Female's Forum now open
Posted on Monday, 3rd June, 2019
Football coaches across Queensland's south east will have the opportunity to pick the brains of some of the sharpest minds in the AFL Women's competition next month at the AFL Queensland Coaching Female's Forum.
The forum, which will take place at Yeronga State High School on June 30 and is free to all registered Coach AFL coaches, aims to educate coaches about injury prevention and performance enhancement in the women's football space.
Using the Prep to Play coaching manual, the brains trust of AFLW alumni will take coaching through theoretical and practical sessions.
Current Melbourne AFLW player and La Trobe University Research Assistant Brooke Patterson, who formed part of the research team who developed the Prep to Play curriculum, will be the key note speaker at the forum.
Patterson's experience as both an active player in women's football and an academic means she will provide unparalleled expertise to coaches.
She will be joined by Brisbane Lions AFLW chief executive Bree Brock and head coach Craig Starcevich
Gold Coast SUNS player Sam Virgo will also be on hand to provide her experience as a player who has suffered a season-ending injury having torn her ACL in the 2017 QAFLW Grand Final.
Like all sports, Australian rules footballers are susceptible to injuries at both training and on game day, however the likelihood of injury is heightened in women's sport.
The free session will provide coaches the necessary skills and understanding to better prevent injuries among footballers including lessons on movement, technique, jumping and tackling.
The forum will specialise on knee injury and head injury prevention – areas identified in Prep to Play that are most at risk among footballers.
Coaches will also be taken through four practical exercises run by the State Female High Performance Coaches.
AFL Queensland Female Talent Manager Kath Newman said given the injury risk associated with women's football, learning how to lower the associated risks is now a crucial facet of the sport.
"While the current statistics of injuries in the AFLW are alarming, it is through the implementation of the Prep to Play strategies from community through to elite level that we will see the incidence of these injuries reduce," Newman said.
"The strategies are easy to incorporate into a regular training session and just as useful for male players as they are for female."
The AFL Queensland Coaching Female Forum will take place at Yeronga State High School on June 30 from 8:30am to 2:00pm.
The session is a free event for all coaches registered within the Coach AFL system.

Q: Capturing current location and calculating distance I've been looking at this for a while. I've found plenty of posts and looked at the documentation but I'm having trouble getting it working. I have core location implemented, and its working with no problems i.e.
NSLog(@"Description: %@\n", [newLocation description]);

The description details are displayed in the log.
I want to capture the current location when the user taps on a button and as they start to move recapture their location intermittently. Using this information I want to calculate the distance between the starting point and the current point.
I know I can use the following:
CLLocationDistance distance = [myLocation distanceFromLocation:restaurantLocation]

to calculate the distance but I'm not sure how to capture the current location.
If anyone could post some sample code that would be great. I close to getting this working, just need a final push over the line.
Regards,
Stephen
Part 2: Since the original post, I've made a bit of progess. Details posted below:
#import "MyCLController.h"

@implementation MyCLController

@synthesize locationManager;
@synthesize delegate;

- (id) init {
    self = [super init];
    if (self != nil) {
        self.locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
        self.locationManager.delegate = self; // send loc updates to myself
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
    didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
           fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
    [self.delegate locationUpdate:newLocation];

    CLLocation *item1 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:newLocation.coordinate.latitude longitude:newLocation.coordinate.longitude];
    CLLocation *item2 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:oldLocation.coordinate.latitude longitude:oldLocation.coordinate.longitude];

    int meters = [item1 getDistanceFrom:item2];
    NSLog(@"Distance-d: %d", meters);

    [item1 release];
    [item2 release];

}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
       didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    [self.delegate locationError:error];
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [self.locationManager release];
    [super dealloc];
}

@end

Am I right to calculate the distance here or should I be doing it in NewWorkoutViewController.m, in the locationUpdate method ?

A: You set a delegate on your location manager which will be called when the location changes.  You can control (indirectly) how often it gets called by specifing a distance filter so that you will only get a callback if the location has moved at least that amount.

In October 2022, there were 45,353 deaths registered in England, 4,006 deaths (9.7%) above the October five-year average (2016 to 2019, and 2021) and there were 2,975 deaths registered in Wales, 176 deaths (6.3%) above the October average.
The leading cause of death in both England and Wales in October 2022 was dementia and Alzheimer's disease (11.6% of all deaths in England and 10.9% of all deaths in Wales).
Coronavirus (COVID-19) was the eighth leading cause of death in October 2022 in England (accounting for 3.3% of all deaths) and the seventh leading cause of death in Wales (3.5% of all deaths).
Accounting for population size and age structure, the year-to-date (January to October) age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) in 2022 in both England (936.4 deaths per 100,000 people) and Wales (1,010.4 deaths per 100,000 people) was significantly lower than most years since our data time series began in 2001.
2. Death registrations and the overall mortality rate for October 2022
There were 45,353 deaths registered in England in October 2022, based on provisional data. This was 1,921 more deaths than in October 2021 and 4,006 more deaths (9.7%) than the five-year average (2016 to 2019, and 2021).
In Wales, the provisional number of deaths registered in October 2022 was 2,975. This was 17 fewer deaths than in October 2021 and 176 more deaths (6.3%) than the five-year average for October.
The five-year average for 2022 has been provided for 2016 to 2019, and 2021. This moves our five-year average along by a year, but does not include the exceptionally high number of deaths seen in 2020. This is so that deaths in 2022 are compared with a five-year average that is up to date (rather than 2015 to 2019) while still being close to representing a usual (non-coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic) year. For more information, see our blog, Understanding excess deaths during a pandemic.
Age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) are used for comparisons over time rather than numbers of deaths, because ASMRs account for changes to the population size and age structure.
Since the beginning of our time series in 2001, mortality rates have generally been decreasing for the month of October.
In England, the highest mortality rate for the month of October was in 2002, at 1,231.6 deaths per 100,000 people. This was statistically significantly higher than the October ASMR for most other years in the data time series. The lowest mortality rate for October was in 2016 at 868.0 deaths per 100,000 people. This was significantly lower than the October ASMR in most other years in the data time series.
In 2022, the October ASMR for England was 932.3 deaths per 100,000 people. This was significantly higher than the October 2021 ASMR (911.5 deaths per 100,000 people).
In Wales, the highest mortality rate for October was in 2001 (1,314.2 deaths per 100,000 people), which was statistically significantly higher than most other years in the data time series. Like England, the lowest ASMR was in 2016 (937.6 deaths per 100,000 people). This was significantly lower than the October ASMR in most other years in the data time series.
In October 2022, the ASMR in Wales was 1,004.3 deaths per 100,000 people. This was lower than the October 2021 ASMR (1,030.7 deaths per 100,000 people), however this difference was not significant.
These patterns in ASMRs over time was similar in both males and females (Figure 1).

3. Deaths due to COVID-19 registered in October 2022
The doctor certifying a death can list all causes in the chain of events that led to the death, and pre-existing conditions that may have contributed to the death. Using this information, we determine an underlying cause of death. More information on this process can be found in our User guide to mortality statistics.
In this bulletin, we use the term "due to COVID-19" when referring only to deaths with an underlying cause of death of COVID-19. We use the term "involving COVID-19" when referring to deaths that had COVID-19 mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, whether as an underlying cause or not.
For more information on our definition of coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths, see Section 10: Measuring the data.
The first deaths involving COVID-19 were registered in England and Wales in March 2020. Since then, COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death in most deaths that involved COVID-19 (84.9% in England, 83.7% in Wales).
The proportion of deaths due to COVID-19 (of all deaths involving COVID-19) increased between September and October 2022 in both England (from 61.4% to 65.6%) and Wales (from 68.7% to 70.1%) (Figure 2).

Figures for 2022 are based on provisional mortality data.
Deaths "due to COVID-19" include only deaths where COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death, whereas deaths "involving COVID-19" include deaths where COVID-19 was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate. For more information on our definitions of COVID-19 deaths, see the Measuring the data section.
Because of small numbers, the proportions for May 2021 and June 2021 in Wales should be interpreted with caution.
Of the 45,353 deaths registered in October 2022 in England, 3.3% (1,512 deaths) were due to COVID-19. This was almost double the number of deaths registered in September 2022 that were due to COVID-19 (781 deaths, 1.8% of all deaths). Including all deaths involving COVID-19 (2,305 deaths), this percentage increased to 5.1% of all deaths in England.
In Wales, 3.5% of the 2,975 deaths registered in October 2022 were due to COVID-19 (103 deaths). This was almost double the number of deaths registered in September 2022 that were due to COVID-19 (57 deaths, 2.1%). Including all deaths involving COVID-19 (147 deaths), this percentage increased to 4.9% of all deaths in Wales in October 2022.
Mortality rates for deaths due to COVID-19
The age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) for deaths due to COVID-19 in England statistically significantly increased to 31.0 deaths per 100,000 people in October 2022, from 16.7 deaths per 100,000 people in September 2022.
In Wales, the ASMR also increased significantly to 34.6 deaths per 100,000 people in October 2022, compared with 19.9 deaths per 100,000 people in October 2022.
These figures are similar to those seen in previous months, suggesting that the significantly lower deaths in September 2022 may have been an anomaly.

For more information on our definitions of COVID-19 deaths, see the Measuring the data section.
Because of small numbers, the rate for May 2021 in Wales is unreliable (19 deaths) so should be interpreted with caution, and the rate for June 2021 (3 deaths) has not been calculated and is denoted as [x] in the data downloads.

4. Leading causes of death
The 10 most common underlying causes of death registered in October 2022, compared with the five-year average for October (2016 to 2019, and 2021), for England and Wales, respectively, are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Causes of death are based on our leading causes of death groupings.
Figure 4: In England, dementia and Alzheimers disease remained the leading cause of death in October 2022

Based on underlying cause of death.
Figures exclude deaths of non-residents.
The five-year average has been provided for 2016 to 2019 and 2021 because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on deaths registered in 2020. This provides an up to date (rather than 2015 to 2019) comparison of the number of deaths expected per month in a usual (non-coronavirus pandemic) year. Where a five-year average cannot be provided, it is denoted as "[z]" in the data downloads.
Leading causes are ranked based on number of deaths, not age-standardised mortality rates.
Download this chart Figure 4: In England, dementia and Alzheimers disease remained the leading cause of death in October 2022
In England, dementia and Alzheimer's disease remained the leading cause of death in October 2022 (for the 16th consecutive month), with 106.7 deaths per 100,000 people (5,249 deaths). Coronavirus (COVID-19) was the eighth leading cause of death in October 2022, at 31.0 deaths per 100,000 people (1,512 deaths), increasing from 12th leading cause of death in September 2022. The COVID-19 mortality rate was statistically significantly lower than the top five leading causes of death, and significantly higher than all causes ranked lower.
In England in October 2022, mortality rates for 4 of the 10 leading causes of death were significantly lower than the five-year average. The mortality rate for symptoms, signs, and ill-defined (33.5 deaths per 100,000 people) was statistically significantly higher (39.6% higher) than the five-year average in England for the 16th consecutive month. This leading cause group includes mostly deaths with a code for "old age" but is also used for causes such as "frailty".

This provides an up-to-date comparison (rather than 2015 to 2019) of the number of deaths expected per month in a usual (non-coronavirus pandemic) year. Where a five-year average cannot be provided, it is denoted as "[z]" in the data downloads.
Download this chart Figure 5: In Wales, dementia and Alzheimers disease remained the leading cause of death in October 2022
In Wales, the leading cause of death was also dementia and Alzheimer's disease (for the third consecutive month), with 108.0 deaths per 100,000 people (324 deaths). COVID-19 was the seventh leading cause of death in October 2022 at 34.6 deaths per 100,000 (103 deaths), increasing from the 10th leading cause in September 2022. This was statistically significantly lower than the top four leading causes of death, and significantly higher than causes ranked 10th and lower.
In Wales in October 2022, 8 out of the 10 leading causes of death were not significantly different than the five-year average. The mortality rate for symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions (36.1 deaths per 100,000 people) was statistically significantly higher (58.3% higher) than the five-year average.
Leading causes of death registered in the year-to-date
In the first 10 months (January to October) of 2022, the leading cause of death in England was dementia and Alzheimer's disease (105.5 deaths per 100,000 people). In Wales, the year-to-date leading cause of death was ischaemic heart diseases (110.6 deaths per 100,000 people).
In England, the year-to-date COVID-19 mortality rate remained the sixth leading cause of death (39.3 deaths per 100,000 people). This was statistically significantly lower than the top five leading causes of death, and significantly higher than all causes ranked lower.
In Wales, deaths due to COVID-19 also remained the sixth leading cause of death in the year-to-date (40.3 deaths per 100,000 people). This was significantly lower than the top five leading causes of death, and significantly higher than all leading causes ranked eighth and lower.
More information on the 2022 year-to-date leading causes of death is available in Tables 12a and 12b of our accompanying dataset. More in-depth analysis of leading causes of death is available in our annual publication, based on finalised mortality data.
5. Deaths registered in the year-to-date
There were 443,395 deaths registered in England and 29,147 in Wales during the first 10 months (January to October) of 2022.
To gain a better idea of year-to-year differences in mortality rates, we calculated year-to-date age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) based on deaths registered in January to October of each year from 2001 to 2022 (Figure 6).
For England, the year-to-date ASMR for 2022 (936.4 deaths per 100,000 people) was statistically significantly lower than most years since our data time series started in 2001, except for 2019 (912.2 deaths per 100,000 people), which was significantly lower than 2022, and 2014 (936.5 deaths per 100,000 people) which was not significantly different to 2022.
For Wales, the year-to-date ASMR for 2022 was 1,010.4 deaths per 100,000 people. This was statistically significantly lower than most years since our data time series began, except for 2019 (987.9 deaths per 100,000 people), 2014 (1,006.4 deaths per 100,000 people) and 2011 (1,029.1 deaths per 100,000 people) which were not significantly different to 2022.

6. Death occurrences in October 2022 and year-to-date
This section is based on the date a death occurred, rather than the date of registration used in the previous sections, to monitor current mortality trends. Further information can be found in Section 10: Measuring the data.
In England, 40,654 deaths occurred in October 2022 (and were registered by 7 November 2022). This was 1,447 fewer deaths than the five-year average (2016 to 2019, and 2021) for October (3.4% lower). In October 2022, of all deaths that occurred, 1,583 deaths (3.9%) were due to coronavirus (COVID-19). This is over double the number of deaths due to COVID-19 occurring in September 2022 (687 deaths).
In Wales, 2,752 deaths occurred in October 2022 (and were registered by 7 November 2022). This was 110 fewer deaths than the five-year average (3.8% lower). Of all deaths that occurred in October 2022, 103 deaths (3.7%) were because of COVID-19. Like England, this was over double the number of deaths due to COVID-19 that occurred in September 2022 (51 deaths).
The first death due to COVID-19 occurred on 30 January 2020 in England and 15 March 2020 in Wales. Figures 7 and 8 show the trends in COVID-19 death occurrences from March 2020 onwards for England and Wales, respectively.

Number of deaths occurring on each day from March 2020 to October 2022, five-year average and range, England
Figures are for deaths occurring on each day rather than deaths registered, registered up to 7 November 2022. Death occurrences will increase as more deaths are registered, particularly for later dates.
Figures for 2022 (including deaths that occurred in previous years but were registered in 2022) are based on provisional mortality data.
"COVID-19" includes only deaths where COVID-19 was the underlying cause.
This chart includes deaths from 1 March 2020. Three deaths due to COVID-19 occurred prior to this in England (one death in January 2020 and two deaths in February 2020), but are not included here.
For deaths occurring in 2020 and 2021, the five-year average consists of deaths occurring between 2015 to 2019, whereas for deaths occurring in 2022 the five-year average consists of deaths occurring between 2016 to 2019 and 2021.
The five-year average for 2022 has been provided for 2016 to 2019 and 2021, because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on deaths occurring in 2020. This provides an up-to-date comparison (rather than 2015 to 2019) of the number of deaths expected per day in a usual (non-coronavirus pandemic) year.

For deaths occurring in 2020 and 2021 the five-year average consists of deaths occurring between 2015 to 2019, whereas for deaths occurring in 2022 the five-year average consists of deaths occurring between 2016 to 2019 and 2021.
The number of death occurrences is incomplete because it is likely that more deaths need to be registered. Therefore, comparisons should be treated with caution.
Instances where the number of death occurrences on each day in October was below the range of the last five years are likely to be a result of when the data extract was created. Specifically, deaths that occurred towards the end of the month may not have been registered by the time the data extract was created. We would therefore expect the number of death occurrences to be higher in future releases.

Age-specific mortality rates
Age-specific mortality rates are used to allow comparisons between specified age groups.
Age-standardised mortality rates
Age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) are used to allow comparisons between populations that may contain different proportions of people of different ages. The 2013 European Standard Population is used to standardise rates. In this bulletin, we have adjusted the monthly ASMRs to allow for comparisons with annual rates. For more information see Section 10: Measuring the data.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines coronaviruses as "a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)". Between 2001 and 2018, there were 12 deaths in England and Wales due to a coronavirus infection, with a further 13 deaths mentioning the virus as a contributory factor on the death certificate.
COVID-19 refers to the "coronavirus disease 2019" and is a disease that can affect the lungs and airways. It is caused by a type of coronavirus. Further information about coronavirus (COVID-19) disease is available from the WHO.
Pre-existing condition
A pre-existing condition is defined as any condition that either preceded the disease of interest (for example, COVID-19) in the sequence of events leading to death or was a contributory factor in the death but not part of the causal sequence.
More information on the pre-existing conditions methodology is available in our accompanying dataset, Pre-existing conditions of people who died due to COVID-19, England and Wales.
Registration delay
Mortality statistics are compiled from information supplied when deaths are certified and registered as part of civil registration, a legal requirement. According to the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953, a death should be registered within five days unless it is referred to a coroner for investigation. Mortality statistics for a given time period can be based on occurrence (death date) or registration (registration date); registration delay is the difference between date of occurrence and date of registration.
Statistical significance
The term "significant" refers to statistically significant changes or differences. Significance has been determined using the 95% confidence intervals, where instances of non-overlapping confidence intervals between estimates indicate the difference is unlikely to have arisen from random fluctuation.
95% confidence intervals
A confidence interval is a measure of the uncertainty around a specific estimate. If a confidence interval is 95%, it is expected that the interval will contain the true value on 95 occasions if repeated 100 times. As intervals around estimates widen, the level of uncertainty about where the true value lies increases. The size of the interval around the estimate is strongly related to the number of deaths, prevalence of health states and the size of the underlying population. At a national level, the overall level of error will be small compared with the error associated with a local area or a specific age and sex breakdown. More information is available on our uncertainty pages.
10. Measuring the data
This bulletin provides timely surveillance of mortality in England and Wales, based on the best available provisional data, including all-cause mortality and coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths.
Analysis contains deaths registered in October 2022 by age and sex, and includes deaths that occurred in October 2022 by date of death. Non-residents of England and Wales are excluded. In October 2022, there were 88 deaths of non-residents that were registered in England and Wales.
This bulletin is based primarily on death registrations. Analysis by month of death registration is consistent with our weekly death registrations bulletin and allows for a more timely analysis than would be possible using death occurrences. There is a section on death occurrences for surveillance of recent mortality trends. Death occurrences show the number of deaths that occurred within a calendar period and give a better indication of exactly when deaths were at their highest. This allows mortality to be related to other factors such as weather patterns.
A provisional extract of death registrations and death occurrences data is taken on the first working day after the eighth of the month, to allow time for deaths to be registered. For more detail on the data sources used, see our methodology article.
Definition of COVID-19 deaths
We use the term "due to COVID-19" when referring only to deaths with an underlying cause of death of COVID-19. When considering all the deaths that had COVID-19 mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, whether as an underlying cause or not, we use the term "involving COVID-19". The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes used to define COVID-19 are:
U07.1: COVID-19, virus identified
U07.2: COVID-19, virus not identified
U09.9: post-COVID condition, unspecified (this cannot be assigned to the underlying cause of death so is not included in the "deaths due to COVID-19" definition)
U10.9: multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19, unspecified
Our definition of COVID-19 (regardless of whether it was the underlying cause or mentioned elsewhere on the death certificate) includes some cases where the certifying doctor suspected the death involved COVID-19 but was not certain (U07.2). For example, a doctor may have clinically diagnosed COVID-19 based on symptoms but this diagnosis may not have been confirmed with a test, so they may write "suspected COVID-19" on the death certificate. Of the 160,707 deaths due to COVID-19, 4,157 (2.6%) were classified as "suspected" COVID-19. Including all 189,654 deaths involving COVID-19, "suspected" COVID-19 was recorded on 4,793 deaths (2.5%) of all deaths involving COVID-19 in England and Wales (excluding non-residents). For more information on the ICD-10 definition of COVID-19, see our methodology article.
There are several ICD-10 codes not included in our definitions of deaths due to COVID-19 and deaths involving COVID-19. These are:
U08.9: personal history of COVID-19, unspecified
U11.9: need for immunisation against COVID-19, unspecified
U12.9: COVID-19 vaccines causing adverse effects in therapeutic use, unspecified
Tables 13 and 14 of our accompanying dataset provide figures of each COVID-19 ICD-10 code registered since March 2020. Our figures usually consist of first registrations only. On occasion, and after further investigation, a death can be re-registered as a different cause of death. For transparency of our statistics, these tables include re-registrations as well as initial registrations. All the other figures remain as first registration only.
Monthly mortality rates
To calculate monthly mortality rates that are comparable with annual rates, adjustments must be made to annual population estimates to account for the time covered. Our methodology article provides more detail on how this is calculated.
We would like to thank Anisah Saib, Heidi Wilson, Fred Barton and Paul Brown for their valued contribution to this bulletin.
11. Strengths and limitations
Provisional data are used
Provisional death registrations and death occurrences data are used in this bulletin. This enables timely analysis to be completed to monitor mortality trends. However, as the data for 2022 are provisional, they are subject to change.
Data coverage, timeliness, and registration delays
Mortality data give complete population coverage. They ensure the estimates are of high precision and representative of the underlying population at risk. However, because of registration delays, monthly death occurrence data are always somewhat incomplete. This is especially true for deaths that occurred towards the end of the month.
More quality and methodology information on strengths, limitations, appropriate uses and how the data were created is available in our Mortality statistics in England and Wales Quality and Methodology Information and our User guide to mortality statistics.

Chapter 278 - The Fifth Energy (4)
The Holy Kingdom, Avilius, the most powerful nation on the continent.
It had the power of over 15 Masters, including the hidden powers, as well as the high-level priests, along with Expert level knights who supported them. All of these combined made people believe and put their trust in them.
It was indeed the most suitable bunch to oppose the Devils.
Subsequent to the tragedy that had occurred in Rabat at the appearance of the Clown Devil, which was an occurrence as great as the Demon Dragon King, the Holy Kingdom began to form subjugation squads.
But still, the situation didn't seem too good. Frankly, it would have been better if an all-out war with the Devils had occurred.
Starting with Julius Hul, one of the three strongest swordsmen, if the power which had been stored up because of the 160 years of peace was released at once, they would defeat the Devils with ease.
But the Devils were sneaky, filthy, terrible, and were too sly.
In order to patrol across the wide continent, they had no choice but to disperse their power, and they had now reached a terrible junction.
Little by little, the damage piled up.
Little by little, the confusion grew. Secrets leaked out, and the people who knew about the increasing number of devils grew.
The Holy Kingdom changed its plan to move alone, and asked for the help of other Kingdoms.
They knew that this decision would fuel more rumors, but they decided that it would be better to annihilate the Devils sooner.
But it was a mistake.
The moment they changed their decision, the devils sank deeper and began to reveal their other lesser beings.
The contractors.
The number of demons began to explode.
"Did you hear it? There is a Demon in the Torban mountain…"
"It appeared on the side of Calben too. Isn't this bad?"
"I know. If possible, just stay inside. Sending a subjugation squad from the Kingdom should solve it."
"I don't know. From what I have heard, if the number of demons increases… the Devil has come back…"
"What? For real?"
A fear swept across the continent.
Of course, the fear wasn't to the extent where the social order collapsed. That was because the power of the continent during the peaceful time had grown stronger.
The number of swordsmen increased thanks to the schools that had come up, and although it was limited to Runtel, the number of magicians had increased too.
The churches of the Holy Kingdom that had spread around, helped stabilize the peace in the minds of the people.
So, the direct damage wasn't too much.
It was still a world where there were still far more people who lost lives to poverty and robbery than to the Devils.
'The seeds of anxiety had already been planted inside the minds of people… and now, it was too late for the Holy Kingdom to try and withhold the flow of information. It was assured that the fight would last a long time.'
A member of the Red Knights, Cristobal Blackwell, thought with a worried expression.
Just like the faith of priests gathered to create miracles, the fear that spread caused confusion.
It would destabilize the dimensions and create a hole between Devildom and the Human world.
'… I am not afraid to face a Devil with my sword.'
It wasn't a lie.
They knew better than anyone how powerful and terrible the Devils were.
It was fine if they could wield their swords for the continent. They thought that their lives weren't important in comparison to the world.
However, if hope faded due to the sacrifices of men… if fear of wandering the continent grew…it would result in the gates to Devildom opening wider and allowing more terrifying things to come over…
When he thought till there.
He saw Julius Hul walking by.
All the knights gathered in the training hall held their breath and looked at him…Julius Hul, who was the most faithful of Avilius and the strongest man in the Holy Kingdom.
Cristobal Blackwell's heart pounded violently at the appearance of the existence who was undoubtedly the best on the continent.
At the age of 50, he had risen to the position of Commander of the White Knights and had been leading the knights from the forefront for the past 40 years.
And that person was here in front of them. He was able to summon back all those who were chasing after the devils and cleaning the evil with just a single sentence.
For the knights of Avilius, Julius was such a figure.
A dependable and hopeful light in a desperate situation.
'Perhaps he has an idea we can use for us to overcome the current situation.'
A faint smile appeared on Cristobal's face.
A little late, he saw something…no, someone else.
The Commander of the White Knights started radiating more energy than before.
He didn't know it right away, but as the person got closer, it became clear.
The person walking towards them was breaking down the pressure of Julius Hul. As if it were breaking through the sacred white wall, an intense energy rose from that person.
Silence descended upon them.
The hall was silent for some time.
It felt like a long period of time because of their slow walk, and the training hall's width.
And as if they didn't care about the time that seemed to stand still, the black and white knights stopped their march. Meanwhile, the Black Knight Commander, Ignet Crescentia, was facing the strongest sword of the continent with dazzling power.
There was no response.
Shhh!
A sword was pulled out.
The posture was checked.
And a red aura flowed from Julius Hul. Some knights gulped without realizing it.
The momentum of the Black Knight commander, who filled the training hall, was drying all their mouths.
Swoosh!
And with feet, her movements which seemed like the wind itself, moved like lightning towards Julius for the attack.
Julius Hul laughed.
The sword of the old man looked happier than ever, and a formidable aura came out.
Waaahhh.
"It'll definitely work."
Julius Hul nodded, looking at Quincy Myers.
It really might. The mindset of the knights before and after the fight did seem different.
After pondering for a moment, he carefully said,
"Georg, you were right. It was the effect of gathering those who were busy."
"He-he! Our commander, no, it is only natural for anyone to feel energized when seeing such a face!"
"That is true."
The White Knights commander stroked Anya Marta's hair.
Like other knights, he had no fear when dealing with the Devil. However, that wasn't what perplexed him currently.
When he thought of the future, 10 or 20 years from now, his worries deepened.
'Senior Myers and the Purification squad knights, Ian and Khun… even the Red Knights commander is here. We are close to leaving.'
Julius Hul was 90% sure that he would win the war against the Devils if it came to an all-out war right now.
However, if another 10 years passed, then most of the strongest people would be very old.
If 10 more years pass, the top three swordsmen, including him, would be extremely old too, and what would happen then?
What would the juniors do?
'That will be the Kingdom's greatest fear. But…'
After today, that fear is completely gone.
Recalling the previous match, he spoke with a happy smile.
Today, Ignet Crescentia was defeated by his hands.
However, what was revealed wasn't despair, but rather, it was hope.
Even if she couldn't rise to the 3rd position of the strongest swordsmen right now.
He was feeling confident that she could reach that level at a much faster time than expected.
No, he was sure that she could go even further.
It was his belief that she would become the center of the continent and annihilate the demons!
Such a heart would make even the hearts of the paladins stronger.
"… is something up?"
Quincy Myers asked with a serious expression.
He had no choice but to do that.
Because Julius Hul, who had had a pleasant mood until now, suddenly had a serious expression. Wouldn't such a drastic change happen only if there was a huge deal?
However, there was no need to worry.
No, it was rather good.
After a while, unexpected words came out from the White Knights Commander.
"Do I only need to show the knights?"
"The sword of the Black Knight Commander."
"Ignet's swordsmanship, her skill, the potential she has, and the hope she represents."
"Not just us… if the whole continent knew about it, we could create such a place…."
To deliver greater hope than the evil that was plaguing them.
Wouldn't it help to destroy the door to the Devildom?
It was when Quincy Myers seemed shocked.
One of the knights rushed in and gave them some news.
"The Black Knight commander disappeared? What…"
The Red Knights' commander looked around. Anya Marta, who was there with them until a few minutes ago, had also disappeared.
"She didn't seem to be fine…"
Julius Hul answered.
Quincy Myers looked at him and then at Georg Phoebe, who was the vice commander of the Black Knights.
He, too, didn't seem to have any worries.
It was then.
The old man, who remembered the face of a young man, nodded and said.
"Please, I hope it isn't too much of a stimulus."
"It was really nice to see you after a long time. Will you welcome me next time?"
"Haha, of course. You are welcome at any time."
Sometime later the next day, the guests of the Pariera estate gathered.
Everyone left, including Ilya, and Airn smiled at Kuvar and Karakum, who were the last ones left on the estate, and they, too, were getting ready to leave.
Moments of parting were always sad. But this time, it wasn't so sad.
That was because he knew that he would meet them again. Those were the thoughts in Airn's head as he watched them leave.
It was then that he saw something.
Ching!
There was a line in the air.
It was much brighter than the light of the sun at noon.
It soon expanded to a size large enough for several people to pass through.
It was Anya Marta.
Kuvar looked at her with a firm expression.
And then, another person came.
An existence with a strong air just like she had before, a strong but lean build, and long black hair, which was rare on this continent.
He recognized that person without having to say it.
Ignet.
Clap!
Karakum began to use the Five Divine Spirits technique. The metal pulled onto the axe. It was because of the story he had heard.
'She went to Ian, Khun, and even Lindsay's place.'
The Aura of the Orcs rose like haze on a summer day.
But it was wrong.
It was true that she was there to come for confrontation, but it was not directed at Durkali.
Ignet, who took a step back, passed Karakum. She didn't even bother to look at the Orc to see whether he was flustered or not.
And she said,
"Should we have a go at each other?"
She gave out a strong aura.
It was quite a sudden remark, but Airn wasn't too shocked.
Without being swayed…
…or being nervous.
He, who looked at Ignet Crescentia's state, summoned his greatsword.
Woon.
And said,
"Let's do that."
