Next week, Amazon will finally debut its fall flagship series, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. This is a show that’s been in development for quite awhile, and Amazon’s spent a frankly absurd amount of money to both get the rights to do the show and make it in the first place. While official reviews aren’t out …

Ford will open Mustang Mach-E orders for the 2023 model year next week
Ford is set to open up Mustang Mach-E orders for the 2023 model year after the 2022 trims sold out. You’ll have the chance to order one of the EVs starting on August 30th. In addition, Ford has announced some pricing, range and other changes.
Premium Mach-Es built starting this fall that have the extended range battery will have a targeted EPA-estimated range of 290 miles on all-wheel drive models. That’s a range increase of 13 miles. Meanwhile, the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver assist tech is now standard across all trims.
If you opt for a Premium model with extended range battery or the GT Performance edition, you’ll be able to select the Mustang Nite Pony package. This includes high-gloss black 19-inch wheels and a black pony badge, black front and rear lower fascia, door cladding and black mirror caps on the grille for Premium trims. The package brings 20-inch high-gloss black wheels and a black GT badge to the GT Performance edition. You’ll still be able to select any exterior color option with this package.
There will be two new colors to choose from: carbonized gray metallic and vapor blue metallic. They replace dark matter gray and iced blue silver. The California Route 1 trim will only be available as an AWD option moving forward, as Ford is sunsetting the rear-wheel drive option based on customer demand. Meanwhile, Ford will replace the black roof on GT and GT Performance editions with a panoramic sunroof.
As is the way of things in the auto world (and many other industries right now), prices of the Mach-E are going up for new orders, effective Tuesday. Ford says this is due to “significant material cost increases, continued strain on key supply chains and rapidly evolving market conditions.” As Elektrek points out, the price increases are between $2,600 and roughly $8,000 compared with the 2022 trims. As such, the Mustang Mach-E will start at $46,895 MSRP (not including the delivery fee or taxes) for the Select rear-wheel drive standard model.

Surgical hubs will keep patients out of general hospitals and speed up operations, say health chiefs[/caption]
More than 6.7million people in England are waiting for routine surgery, up from 4.4m before the pandemic, with the NHS wait list growing every month.
Health chiefs hope quick-fire hubs for simple ops will keep patients out of hospital beds and bust the backlog faster.
Ninety-one hubs have already opened and ministers have plans for 140 in total, with 20 new or repurposed locations already confirmed.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said: “In order to bust the Covid backlogs and keep pace with future demand, we can’t simply have business as usual.
“Surgical hubs are a tangible example of how we are expanding capacity to fill surgical gaps right across the country.
“These new hubs will deliver additional operations over the next three years, including over 200,000 this year alone.”

The centres will do batches of similar operations to speed up patient turnover, focusing on eye surgery, bone and joint ops, gynaecology and urology, and ear, nose and throat.
Patients will be more likely to get home on the same day and recover faster, bosses hope.
NHS CEO Amanda Pritchard said: “The NHS has made significant progress already, virtually eliminating two year waits for care by the end of July.
“These new sites will be a welcome boost in helping us to further tackle the Covid-19 backlogs.”
