Topline President Donald Trump on Saturday was photographed leaving for his golf course in Virginia, dispelling unfounded rumors spread on social media that Trump had died in recent days after not being seen publicly. Social media users, without evidence, pushed claims that President Donald Trump had died in recent days after not being seen publicly. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts Trump, seen with his granddaughter Kai Trump, was seen entering a vehicle on the White House’s south lawn Saturday morning while en route to his Trump National golf course in northern Virginia. Search inquiries for “Trump,” “is Trump dead” and “Trump dead” were among the top searches on Google as of noon Saturday while “Where is Donald Trump” was trending on X. Trump’s previous most recent public appearance came Wednesday as he headed a televised Cabinet meeting and was previously seen golfing earlier in the week, yet Trump also remained active online while posting periodically on his Truth Social platform.

AFP via Getty Images Why Did Social Media Users Say Trump Was Dead? Most social media users pointed to Trump having not been seen publicly since his Cabinet meeting Wednesday and his schedule being cleared for the weekend—though that is not unusual. Others noted Vice President JD Vance told USA Today on Thursday he was prepared to step in as president should a “terrible tragedy” occur, though Vance emphasized he believed Trump was in “good shape” and in “incredibly good health.” Key Background Concerns have swirled in recent months surrounding the health of Trump, who became the oldest president at the time of swearing in in January. Earlier this month, Trump, 79, was spotted with bruising on the back of his right hand in the Oval Office, days after his other hand was photographed with a smaller bruise. Trump has been seen with bruising on his right hand several times over the last year, including in February and November, though the White House has dispelled health concerns by claiming the bruising is “from shaking hands with thousands of people.” Sean Barbabella, Trump’s physician, elaborated on the bruising in July and said it was “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking” and use of aspirin. Barbabella also revealed Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a “prevalent” disease that, in most cases, results in “diminished quality of life and loss of work productivity” if left untreated, according to the National Institutes of Health. Trump’s apparently swollen ankles, which were photographed at the FIFA Club World Cup Final in July, have been connected to the condition.

The motorway, old road, and railway line were all destroyed by the landslide near Levanger, Norway. NTB/AFP via Getty Images On the morning of August 30, a section of Norway’s E6 highway collapsed near Nesvatnet in Levanger after a suspected quick clay landslide. The collapse took with it both lanes of the highway, the alternative road and intercity railway line. Police since confirmed that one Danish worker is still missing presumed dead after being caught in the landslide. Another person survived after their vehicle was swept into water and was treated at a local hospital. Authorities stressed that their immediate priority has been the search and rescue operation and the safety of residents in what a police spokesperson described as a “very unstable” area. Norway’s Main Artery Severed The E6 is not just another highway. Stretching more than 1,600 miles from southern Sweden to Norway’s far north at Kirkenes, it is the country’s most important north–south road. In Levanger, around 50 miles north of Trondheim, the highway carries an average of 8,400 vehicles every day, linking commuters, long-distance travelers, and freight operators. For now, that vital artery has been cut. “This is a dramatic situation for transport through the region, and it will affect many, both businesses and private individuals,” Levanger’s mayor Anita Ravlo Sand said in a statement. To add to the problems for travelers, the parallel Nordlandsbanen railway line was also destroyed in the slide. The landslide has severed both lanes of the highway, the old road and the railway line. NTB/AFP via Getty Images Bane Nor, which manages Norway’s rail infrastructure, confirmed that extensive work will be required to stabilize the ground before repairs can begin. Long Detours For Travelers The closure means long detours for anyone traveling by road between Trondheim and Steinkjer, including tourists planning to drive the scenic Kystriksveien coastal road or those heading toward the Lofoten Islands and northern Norway. Two main alternatives are recommended by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration: Via Sweden: East from Trondheim along the E14 through Stjørdal and Meråker, crossing the border into Jämtland before heading north to rejoin the E6 at Verdal. This adds at least 75 miles to the journey and a potential customs check. Via ferry: Crossing the Trondheimsfjord on the Flakk–Rørvik ferry just outside Trondheim, then continuing north on regional road 755 to reconnect with the E6. Smaller vehicles can also use the old Kongevei (King’s Road) in Levanger, but authorities have warned that this route is unsuitable for heavy traffic. With limited capacity on the ferry and narrow country roads, congestion is expected. Rail Passengers Also Face Delays Train passengers are no better off. Because of planned engineering work, buses were already replacing trains on this stretch of the Nordlandsbanen line. Now, with the track destroyed, it could be much longer before services resume. Travelers heading north from Trondheim toward Bodø are advised to prepare for long delays. In a statement, train operator SJ Nord said it is “working to plan alternative travel routes.” Impact On Tourism Although the immediate priority is recovery, the disruption comes during the late summer season when both domestic tourists and international visitors use the E6 to explore Trøndelag and beyond. The road is a key link for travelers heading to the fjords, the Lofoten Islands, or even further north to Tromsø and the North Cape. For anyone planning to travel in central Norway in the coming days, the best advice is to allow plenty of extra time and check the latest updates from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. Bus operators are adjusting schedules, while freight companies are warning of significant delays. Tourists renting cars should be prepared for long drives on unfamiliar rural roads, as well as potential long waits for ferries. It’s also worth checking flights with SAS, Norwegian and Widerøe, although demand and prices are likely to be high. A Dramatic Day For tourists on road trips, the incident is a stark reminder of Norway’s dramatic geology. Quick clay is a type of soil found in central and southern Norway that can appear stable for decades but collapse without warning when disturbed by water, construction, or erosion. Once it liquefies, the clay loses all strength, turning solid ground into a fluid mass that can swallow houses, roads, and entire landscapes in seconds. Norway has seen this before. In 2020, a quick clay slide in the town of Gjerdrum killed ten people and destroyed dozens of homes.

Check my main feed for more in-depth articles on stargazing, astronomy, eclipses and more. September ushers in a season of dramatic celestial events, from and increased chance of intense aurora and some close planetaring pairings to a spectacular “blood moon” total lunar eclipse — though the latter is not visible in North America. As days shorten ahead of the autumnal equinox, stargazing becomes an evening activity, and a rewarding one as the constellations rise and fall with the changing of the season up above. Here’s everything you need to know about stargazing in September 2025.

The ‘Autumn Star’ When: all month Where: southern night sky Fomalhaut, the “Autumn Star,” is the brightest star in Piscis Austrinus, and visible from mid-northern latitudes only in autumn. Fomalhaut sits low in the south, so spotting it requires a dark southern horizon. People gather to watch a “blood moon” eclipse in Melbourne on July 28, 2018.

Full Corn Moon And Total Lunar Eclipse When: during dusk on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025 Where: eastern horizon The best time to watch September’s full moon rise in North America will be at moonrise at dusk on Sunday, Sept. 7. This year it carries the Corn Moon name, not the common Harvest Moon name, because October’s full moon is closest to the equinox on Sept. 22. While Asia, Australia, and parts of the Pacific will see a total lunar eclipse, no part of the eclipse will be seen from North America.

This is one of the month’s best naked-eye conjunctions. Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, is famous for its spectacular ring system, composed of ice, rock and dust. A gas giant like Jupiter, it is made mostly of hydrogen and helium, with winds and storms swirling across its pale yellow atmosphere. Its many moons — including Titan — and unique features make Saturn a cornerstone of planetary science and wonder. getty 7. Saturn At Opposition When: Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025 Where: eastern sky Tonight is the best night of the year to view Saturn (though in practice, any time this month is good). At opposition, it rises at sunset, sets at sunrise, and shines at magnitude 0.6. Through a small telescope, Saturn’s rings will be nearly edge-on but still visible.

There’s something particularly horrific in imagining a sea creature dying by drowning; it’s unnatural, contradictory. Visualizing the ropes of the nets twisting around the necks of these animals, slowly strangling, choking, running out of oxygen. Is the death of these turtles benefiting some poor local Indians, eating these turtles because they have nothing else on which to subsist? No, the killings of these sea turtles are preventable. The trawling nets of commercial fisherman greedily cull all of the sea life in their path. Their nets do not discern. Sea turtles are threatened and their deaths are preventable. Wildlife Alliance I was there 20 years ago, and I’m proud to report that my organization was integral in bringing the Oliver Ridley turtle back from the brink of extinction. If the local government had kept on top of this issue and maintained our great progress, the Oliver Ridley would still be thriving. There would be no reports of mass death or strandings. When we arrived on the scene, 47,000 dead turtles were strewn upon the Odisha beach, their pungent, decaying corpses shocking the senses and making viscerally clear the severity of our challenge. Belinda Wright sent a series of SOS messages to the best NGOs that she knew of, and no one responded but us. When we arrived, she took us immediately to the Orissa Coast (now Odisha) and this open grave. She believed, as do we, that Direct Action is what works. We came up with a plan to stop the trawlers just before they returned to harbor. Two Brits, one American, and an Indian Forestry Official constituted our team (the Coast Guard refused to help). The authorities allowed us to use one of their boats for the interceptions. Every night, we’d catch the trawlers coming back to shore. One by one, we’d impound the boats. With loudspeakers we’d announce, “You are now under arrest for violating the Maritime Law of fishing within the 300 meter legal limit.” The boats were seized, the catch was confiscated by the government. The fisherman were upset and wanted to know if their boats would be returned. The authorities decided to be lenient and return the boats after 11 days, with a citation. The effect was immediate. Turtle corpses stopped washing ashore. The arrests sent a powerful message to the trawlers that the government was serious with law enforcement and its intention to protect the turtles. At the lowest period in 1998, nestings numbered 8,700. Nestings reached over a million two years later. Action is what gets results. Belinda is an inspiration who advocates on behalf of the voiceless, and isn’t shy to embrace creative, dangerous methods. Always operating with the authority of the government, she leads raids and collects information (I posed as a buyer once for her) and shows leadership to those of us who want to affect meaningful change. Her ways, like ours, aim to achieve results. The reason the death of these turtles is back in the news is because people stopped enforcing the law. There is never a complete victory in conservation without law enforcement. It always takes repeated action and perseverance. Read More

AI agents drive value, revenue, and efficiency across industries. Executives can maximize impact by evaluating fit, leveraging data, managing risk, measuring KPIs, and strategizing adoption. getty The chatbot (AI agent) market is projected to more than triple in value, growing from $7.8 billion in 2024 to $27.3 billion by 2030. AI agents are delivering measurable value across industries, creating new revenue streams and boosting operational efficiency. While the underlying technology is often similar, the financial impact varies by sector. Leaders who understand this landscape can pinpoint the most profitable opportunities while effectively managing risk. AI Agents Are Creating Value Across Industries Customer Service
 Companies are already seeing substantial returns from AI agents in customer support. Klarna, for example, integrates AI agents with CRM and inventory systems to provide instant, 24/7 assistance. These agents handle routine transactions, answer common questions, and deliver tailored product recommendations—freeing human agents to focus on complex issues that strengthen customer loyalty. Healthcare
 In healthcare, AI agents are improving access, reducing costs, and generating actionable insights. Epic recently announced a major initiative to leverage AI agents for patient education, monitoring, and management. These tools enhance outcomes, streamline workflows, and support medical professionals, allowing them to focus on high-value care. Education
 EdTech is rapidly adopting AI agents to personalize learning and reduce administrative burdens. Duolingo’s interactive practice agent and Khan Academy’s Khanmigo tutor enhance engagement and learning outcomes. By combining proprietary content with advanced language models such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude, educational institutions are creating scalable, cost-efficient learning experiences. Creative and Professional Services
In creative fields, AI agents help professionals work faster and more efficiently. Tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot accelerate content creation, document production, and design ideation. They not only expand creative capacity but also unlock new revenue opportunities in professional and productivity services. Financial Services
 Banks are using AI agents to streamline transactions and improve customer experience. Bank of America’s Erica and Capital One’s Eno handle billions of interactions annually, from balance inquiries to proactive spending alerts, while enhancing security with features like virtual credit card numbers. Routine tasks are automated, freeing human advisors for complex financial guidance. Five Strategies for Business AI Executives to Maximize the Value of AI Agents 1 Evaluate Fit
 AI agents deliver the strongest returns in structured, repetitive interactions. Leaders must assess whether their challenges are well-suited to automation or still require relationship-based human engagement. 2 Differentiate with Data
 Generic models rarely create lasting advantage. The real opportunity lies in customizing AI agents with proprietary data. Leveraging unstructured data through Retrieval-Augmented Generation enables differentiation and long-term growth. 3 Manage Risk with ROI and Transparency
 Trust and transparency are critical for protecting revenue and reputation. Customers should know when they are interacting with an AI agent, and monitoring is essential to prevent misinformation or policy conflicts. Measuring both short- and long-term ROI builds confidence in AI deployment. 4 Measure with Key Performance Indicators
 Beyond cost reduction, companies should track user satisfaction, retention, and accuracy to ensure AI agents deliver real business value. 5 Assess Market Adoption
 Even the most advanced AI agent will fall short without a strong go-to-market strategy. Success depends on clear communication of value, multi-channel outreach, and ongoing updates that keep users informed and engaged. The Executive Imperative For executives, the long-term economic impact of AI agents will hinge on trust, safety, and accuracy. Leaders must ensure that AI agents are deployed with transparency and emotional intelligence, balancing automation with human oversight. By evaluating fit, differentiating with proprietary data, managing risk with ROI and transparency, measuring performance with clear KPIs, and assessing market adoption, executives can turn AI agents from simple support functions into strategic partners that unlock new revenue streams, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen customer loyalty.

The Swiss Franc strengthens for a fourth straight day, sending USD/CHF toward fresh one-month lows. The US Dollar Index (DXY) slips below 98.00 as markets price in an 89% chance of a Fed rate cut in September. US July PCE report showed sticky inflation pressures alongside strong household spending. The Swiss Franc (CHF) extends its rally for the fourth consecutive day on Friday, with USD/CHF slipping toward the 0.8000 psychological mark near fresh one-month lows, pressured by a broadly weaker US Dollar (USD) despite resilient US inflation and spending data. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF pair is trading around 0.7997 in the American session, erasing earlier intraday gains. The US Dollar Index (DXY) failed to sustain a move above the 98.00 mark and is hovering near 97.76, with USD/CHF mirroring the Greenback’s broader weakness. The latest US data release confirmed sticky inflation pressures alongside robust household demand. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose 0.3% MoM in July, matching forecasts, while the annual rate edged up to 2.9% from 2.8%, the highest since February. Headline PCE increased 0.2% MoM, in line with expectations but slightly softer than June’s 0.3%, with the yearly figure steady at 2.6%. Personal spending accelerated to 0.5% in July from 0.3% in June, while personal income grew 0.4% MoM. Despite the stronger spending backdrop, markets focused on the policy outlook, with traders increasing bets on a September Federal Reserve (Fed) Interest rate cut. Fed funds futures now price an 89% probability of a 25 basis point reduction, reinforcing the Greenback’s soft tone. Short-term Treasury yields retreated, while the longer end of the curve held firm, reflecting expectations of easier monetary policy without a material shift in long-term inflation risks. Meanwhile, the Swiss Franc continues to benefit from its safe-haven appeal, underpinned by ongoing trade tensions and political uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s independence. The uncertainty has deepened after Fed Governor Lisa Cook filed an emergency motion to block US President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove her, with hearings now underway. At Friday’s session, the Fed made its own court filing while Trump argued that the court should defer to the President on defining “cause” for removal. The Department of Justice, meanwhile, signaled it would not oppose converting Cook’s emergency motion into a preliminary injunction, making it less likely that a final ruling would be handed down immediately, according to Bloomberg. Much of the debate has focused on the meaning of “for cause” under the Federal Reserve Act, which allows governors to be removed by the President only under that condition. Traditionally understood as malfeasance or misconduct, legal experts note that the definition could be stretched further, and reporters on the case suggested the issue may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
