(THE CONVERSATION) The Xingu River is revered as the “house of God” by the Indigenous people living along its Volte Grande, or Big Bend, in the Brazilian Amazon. The river is essential to their culture and religion, and a crucial source of fish, transportation and water for trees and plants.
Five years ago, the Big Bend was a broad river valley interwoven with river channels teaming with fish, turtles and other wildlife. Today, as much as 80% of the water flow is gone.
That’s because in late 2015, the massive Belo Monte Dam project began redirecting water from the Xingu River upstream from the Big Bend, channeling it through a canal to a giant new reservoir. The reservoir now powers one of the largest hydropower dams in the world, designed with enough capacity to power around 20 million households, though it has been producing far less.
Most of the river’s flow now bypasses the Big Bend, and the Indigenous peoples who live there are watching their livelihoods and way of life become endangered. Some of the most devastating effects are during the rainy season, when wildlife and trees rely heavily on having high water. The consortium of utilities and mining companies that runs the dam has pushed back on government orders to allow more water to reach the Big Bend, claiming it would cut their generation and profits. The group has argued in the past that there was no scientific proof that the change in water flow harmed fish or turtles.
There is proof of the Belo Monte Dam project’s impact on the Big Bend, though – from above. Satellite data shows how dramatically the dam has altered the hydrology of the river there.
The same satellite data can also point to potential solutions and ways that operators of the Belo Monte Dam could revise the dam’s operations to keep both its renewable power and the Xingu River flowing at the most important times of the year.
As scientists who work with remote sensing, we believe satellite observations can empower populations around the world who face threats to their resources. The fact that satellite observations of surface water of the Xingu River can be clearly tied to the construction and operation of the Belo Monte Dam offers hope that this kind of knowledge can no longer be hidden.
50 years of Earth observation
Satellites have been monitoring changes in Earth’s landscapes for 50 years, ever since the U.S. launched the first Landsat satellite in July 1972. By piecing together data from the Landsat program and other satellites, scientists can reconstruct historical patterns of change in the landscape and predict current and future trends. They can monitor forest cover, drought, wildfire damage and desert expansion, as well as river flows and reservoir operations around the world.
An example of how that data can be used to help threatened communities is the global Reservoir Assessment Tool, which was created by colleagues and one of us at the University of Washington. It monitors how much water is in about 1,600 reservoirs around the world.
Dam operators already collect thorough on-site data about water flow, but their datasets are rarely shared with the public. Remote sensing doesn’t face the same restrictions. Making that data public can help hold operators to account for and protect local communities and their rivers.
How satellites could pressure Belo Monte to share
Satellite monitoring can provide unprecedented insight into the operations of dams like the Belo Monte and their impact on downstream populations.
Existing satellite data can be used to monitor recent historical behavior of a dam’s operations, track the state of the river and patterns of inflow and outflow at the dam, and even forecast the likely state of the reservoir. Much of that data is easily accessible and free. For example, a tool created for the regional governing body of the Mekong River Commission is empowering communities along the river in Southeast Asia by giving them access to satellite data about water flow at each dam – data that cannot be hidden or modified by those in power.
While estimates based on remote sensing have higher uncertainty than on-site measurements, unfettered access to such information can provide local populations with evidence to argue, in court if necessary, for more water releases.
Long-term observations of dams and hydroclimate records show it is possible to revise the standard operating procedures of dams so they allow more water to flow downstream when needed. A compromise with the Belo Monte Dam could ensure that enough water flows to the Xingu’s Big Bend region while also providing hydropower benefits.
By making the impact of the Belo Monte Dam and others like it public to the world, agencies and the general public can put pressure on the dam’s operators and its investors to release more water. Public pressure will become increasingly important, as water disputes in the Amazon are expected to worsen as the planet warms and deforestation continues. Climate change will affect river flow patterns in the Amazon and likely increase droughts, leaving less water during some periods.
A tool for social justice
The Amazonian native population has declined, and dams and nearby mining operations, like those threatening the Xingu’s Big Bend region, play a role. The current Brazilian government under president Jair Bolsonaro has generally sided with wealthy landowners and industry over Indigenous peoples, making access to independent data crucial for protecting these communities.
Monitoring dams is a powerful way satellites can make a difference. Nearly two-thirds of Brazil’s electricity comes from more than 200 large and 400-plus small hydropower plants, and more large dams are expected to be built in the Amazon this decade. Many are in areas with Indigenous populations.

Remote sensing may not directly solve the problem of social injustice, but it offers the tools needed to recognize the problems and explore solutions. Being able to monitor changes in near-real time and compare them with historical operations can help maintain the checks and balances required for equitable growth.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gov. Bill Lee paused executions in Tennessee for the rest of the year on Monday to enable a review of its lethal injection procedures after a testing oversight forced the state to call off the execution of Oscar Smith an hour before he was to die.
A federal public defender praised the Republican governor for his “great leadership” for launching the review.
Former U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton will review circumstances that led to the chemicals being tested only for potency and sterility but not for endotoxins in Smith's case. He'll also review the clarity of the lethal injection process manual and Tennessee Department of Correction staffing considerations, Lee said in a statement.
“I review each death penalty case and believe it is an appropriate punishment for heinous crimes,” Lee said. “However, the death penalty is an extremely serious matter, and I expect the Tennessee Department of Correction to leave no question that procedures are correctly followed.”
The pause will remain in effect through the end of the year to allow time for the review and corrective action, Lee said.
Lee has not explained exactly why the execution was delayed. He issued a brief statement on April 21 at 5:42 p.m. saying that “due to an oversight in preparation for lethal injection, the scheduled execution of Oscar Smith will not move forward tonight. I am granting a temporary reprieve while we address Tennessee Department of Correction protocol.”
The move comes after Smith’s attorneys asked last week for a moratorium on executions and a review of the state’s execution protocols.
“Governor Lee’s decision to pause executions pending an independent review of Tennessee’s lethal injection protocol shows great leadership. The use of compounded drugs in the context of lethal injection is fraught with risk. The failure to test for endotoxins is a violation of the protocol. Governor Lee did the right thing by stopping executions because of this breach,” Federal Public Defender Kelley Henry said.
Henry said last week that the night before the execution, she requested the results of tests for “potency, sterility and endotoxins” that are supposed to be carried out on the execution drugs if they are obtained from a compounding pharmacy. She had received no response. Henry suspects at least two of the three execution drugs were compounded, rather than commercially manufactured, she said, although secrecy rules surrounding Tennessee executions makes it difficult to know for certain.
While lethal injection was adopted as a humane alternative to the electric chair, it has been the subject of consistent problems and lawsuits.
Tennessee uses a three-drug series to put inmates to death: midazolam, a sedative to render the inmate unconscious; vecuronium bromide, to paralyze the inmate; and potassium chloride, to stop the heart. Officials have said the inmates are unconscious and unable to feel pain. Expert witnesses for inmates, however, have said the inmates would feel like they are drowning, suffocating and being burned alive, all while unable to move or call out.
Of the seven inmates Tennessee has put to death since 2018 — when Tennessee ended an execution pause stretching back to 2009 — five have chosen to die in the electric chair. Smith declined to make a choice, meaning he was scheduled to be executed by the state’s preferred method of lethal injection.
Smith was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing and shooting his estranged wife, Judith Smith, and her teenage sons, Jason and Chad Burnett, at their Nashville home on Oct. 1, 1989. At 72, Smith is the oldest inmate on Tennessee’s death row. His reprieve expires on June 1, after which the state Supreme Court will set a new execution date.

‘Gaslit‘ is a dark comedy series based on the first season of Leon Neyfakh’s podcast ‘Slow Burn.’ Shedding light on the Watergate Scandal, the show revolves around one of the maligned heroes of the entire incident, Martha Mitchell (Julia Roberts), the wife of Richard Nixon’s one-time Attorney General John N. Mitchell (Sean Penn). It chronicles Martha as she becomes one of the first people to warn America about the illegal activities of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President or CRP.
Soon, because of her actions, Martha is taken captive, beaten, and eventually gaslit. If you have watched the political thriller series and liked it, here is a list of recommendations that might suit your preferences. You can watch most of these shows similar to ‘Gaslit’ on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
7. The Politician (2019-)
‘The Politician’ is Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s foray into political satire. The show revolves around the protagonist Payton Hobart’s attempt to become the student body president at the Saint Sebastian High School in Santa Barbara, California. As a creator, Murphy is known for pushing the boundaries of genre TV. ‘The Politician,’ despite being relatively more mainstream than his other works, has enough shock-inducing scenes. In both ‘Gaslit’ and ‘The Politician,’ satire has been potently used to offer a biting criticism of their respective settings.
6. The First Lady (2022-)
If ‘Gaslit’ is about Martha Mitchell, ‘The First Lady’ encompasses stories of three First Ladies of the United States — Michelle Obama, Betty Ford, and Eleanor Roosevelt. In a parallel fashion, ‘The First Lady’ explores the private and public lives of these three remarkable women, their relationships with their respective husbands, and the marks they left on history. Both ‘Gaslit’ and ‘The First Lady’ chronicle the troubled times in the lives of their protagonists and how they secured their legacies.
5. The Brink (2015)
HBO’s political satire ‘The Brink’ is a criminally underrated and tragically short-lived series. Set to depict different geopolitical crises in different parts of the world in different seasons, the show was initially renewed for a sophomore season only to get canceled after the first season wrapped its run. Thus, the first and only season of the show features a stellar cast, including Jack Black and Tim Robbins, and revolves around the crisis that takes place in Pakistan.
‘Gaslit’ approaches the Watergate Scandal with stunned disbelief, accepting that the situation is incredibly surreal. ‘The Brink’ does a similar thing with its narrative, depicting how a global disaster becomes imminent because world leaders are greedy and incompetent.
4. Scandal (2012-2018)
Shonda Rhimes’ ‘Scandal’ focuses on a former White House director of Communications turned political fixer, Olivia “Liv” Carolyn Pope, and the staff of the Washington-based crisis management firm she runs. It also focuses on the relationship between Liv and her former employer, President Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III, following their breakup after the latter’s election as the POTUS. Rhimes has long been hailed as the Queen of Television, and she is in her best form in ‘Scandal.’ If you are interested in the political intrigue and powerplay aspects of ‘Gaslit,’ then this is the show for you.
3. The Comey Rule (2020)
‘The Comey Rule’ came out while Donald Trump was still the President of the United States. It is the TV adaptation of the 2018 book ‘A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership’ by former FBI director James Comey. The story is predominantly set in the months before and after Trump’s election as the US President. Jeff Daniels stars as Comey, while Brendan Gleeson essays the character of Trump. Like ‘Gaslit,’ ‘The Comey Rule’ revolves around one of the most controversial parts of American history. Both shows are about corruption at the highest level of administration.
2. Veep (2012-2019)
Created by Armando Iannucci, ‘Veep’ is the American adaptation of the British series ‘The Thick of It.’ It tells the story of Vice President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a politician who is initially only a heartbeat away from becoming the President of the United States. The show revolves around Meyer and her team as they navigate through the tricky waters of American politics. As with ‘Gaslit’ and other shows mentioned in this list, ‘Veep’ is a sophisticated satire on the political class. Moreover, the humor present in the two shows is equally subtle.
1. House of Cards (2013-2018)
Based on the namesake 1990 BBC series and the 1989 novel by Michael Dobbs, ‘House of Cards’ revolutionized political thriller as a genre. The series predominantly follows Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey), a Democratic politician who would do anything to accumulate more power, and his headstrong wife, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright). Like Gaslit,’ Beau Willimon’s ‘House of cards’ is a show about the inherent amorality of certain people. Both shows also use political corruption as an effective plot device.

Though the Browns appeared close to trading quarterback Baker Mayfield at one point during the draft, no deal ultimately materialized.
So Mayfield remains with Cleveland, just as Jimmy Garoppolo is still with the 49ers.
And Browns General Manager Andrew Berry appears content to wait for the right deal for the organization to materialize.
“It is a fluid situation,” Berry said, via Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. “We will deal with it day by day. We are pleased with the weekend and pleased with the guys that we added.”
At least publicly, Berry isn’t fretting over not making a deal to get Mayfield off the roster.
“I would not say it is any more challenging than really a lot of situations that cross a General Manager’s desk,” Berry said.
The Browns are still on the hook for Mayfield’s $18.8 million guaranteed salary. Mayfield has not reported to the Browns’ offseason program, which makes him less of a day-to-day issue within the building. And Ruiter notes that Cleveland could excuse Mayfield from its mandatory minicamp in June. Mayfield has been rehabbing his surgically repaired shoulder in Texas.
Aside from Deshaun Watson, the Browns also have Jacoby Brissett and Joshua Dobbs on their roster at quarterback. | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/02/andrew-berry-on-baker-mayfield-its-a-fluid-situation/ | 2022-05-02T14:07:44Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/02/andrew-berry-on-baker-mayfield-its-a-fluid-situation/ | false | 1 |

Tennessee pauses executions, will review lethal injections
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gov. Bill Lee paused executions in Tennessee for the rest of the year on Monday to enable a review of its lethal injection procedures after a testing oversight forced the state to call off the execution of Oscar Smith an hour before he was to die.

David Beckham, who gifted an electric 1954 Jaguar to his son Brooklyn Beckham at his wedding to Nicola Peltz, expressed regret about not keeping one for himself.
Taking to Instagram, the football legend shared a photo of him sitting inside the car along with his wifey Victoria Beckham.
"Should have kept this car, it's soooo good," he wrote alongside the photo while adding, “@lunazdesign, please make me one. Happy birthday mama, @victoriabeckham.”
According to The Mirror, founder and CEO of David Lorenz said, “In creating this beautiful, electrified Jaguar XK140, we are honoured to bridge the gap between David Beckham’s professional life, where he is an investor in Lunaz and his family life.
"This remarkable car is the perfect gift to his son Brooklyn and daughter-in-law, Nicola on their wedding day. In every respect, this extraordinary electric classic car by Lunaz symbolises a bright, positive future,” he added. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/414894-david-beckham-regrets-not-keeping-brooklyn-nicola-peltzs-wedding-gift-for-himself | 2022-05-02T14:12:18Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/414894-david-beckham-regrets-not-keeping-brooklyn-nicola-peltzs-wedding-gift-for-himself | false | 1 |
Playoff Preview: Islanders vs. Bruins
May 2, 2022 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Bridgeport Islanders News Release
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (May 2, 2022) - The Bridgeport Islanders and Providence Bruins will meet in the Calder Cup Playoffs for the first time ever, beginning tonight in Rhode Island. The winner of the best-of-three first-round series will move on to play in a best-of-five second round (dates to be determined). If Bridgeport wins, they will play the Charlotte Checkers in the second round. If Providence wins, they will move on to play the Springfield Thunderbirds.
Islanders | Roster: 31-30-7-4, 73 points
Bruins | Roster: 36-23-5-6, 83 points
Season series: BRI 6-4-0-2; PRO 6-6-0-0
Game 1: Tonight (7:05 p.m. ET; AHLTV and Mixlr Radio)
With a .507 points percentage to conclude their 2021-22 regular season, the Islanders snuck into the Atlantic Division's sixth and final playoff spot. They'll face the third-seeded Bruins (Boston's affiliate), as the top-seeded Checkers and second-place Thunderbirds both earned a bye in the first round.
"We earned the right to be there," head coach Brent Thompson said. "We are definitely the underdogs, and our guys are embracing that role. We feel as a group here that we are just as good as any team and on any given night, we're going to win."
The Islanders and Bruins squared off 12 times during the regular season, with each team winning six of those matchups. In fact, each team scored exactly 38 goals in the series. Bridgeport went 3-1-0-0 in its last four meetings against Providence, but suffered a 6-2 loss at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in their last tilt on Apr. 9th.
"Providence is one of the hardest working hockey teams," Thompson added. "They're aggressive. They're really a lot like Boston. I look at our matchup against them and I feel like we can hold our own. If we play our game, focus on our structure, our habits, it's going to be a war right to the end. I think it's going to be a pretty evenly-matched series."
The Islanders finished the regular season winning three of their last five games and earned points in four of their last five at home. Providence ended the regular season 0-5-1-0 in its last six.
"I think everyone's excited to be here," said forward Austin Czarnik, who played parts of four seasons with the Bruins. "We worked hard through this last stretch of the season. We didn't give up and got rewarded. The job's not done yet."
Here's Bridgeport's schedule for the first-round matchup against the Bruins:
Game 1: Monday, May 2 at Providence, Dunkin' Donuts Center, 7:05 p.m.
Game 2: Wednesday, May 4 vs. Providence, Total Mortgage Arena, 7 p.m. (BUY TICKETS)
*Game 3: Friday, May 6 at Providence, Dunkin' Donuts Center, 7:05 p.m.
*If necessary.
Impact Forwards
Islanders: Chris Terry led the Islanders in almost every offensive category during the regular season. His 30 goals were tied for seventh among all AHL players and his 61 points shared 18th place. The five-time AHL All-Star also led Bridgeport in power-play goals (10), power-play points (23), game-winning goals (5), shots-on-goal (208) and multi-point games (17). He finished the regular season with three consecutive multi-point efforts (2g, 4a). Aside from Terry, Austin Czarnik ended the regular season on a five-game point streak (4g, 1a) and had 22 points (8g, 14a) in 18 games since returning to the Islanders' organization from Seattle. Former first-round draft pick Simon Holmstrom had 19 points (5g, 14a) in his last 17 games since March 12th.
Bruins: Cameron Hughes was the Bruins' most dangerous offensive player during the regular season, finishing with a career-high 45 points (14g, 31a) in 59 games. The 25-year-old had two goals and seven points in 12 meetings against Bridgeport, but has just one point (assist) in his last seven games. Oskar Steen, a sixth-round Boston pick in 2016, also set career highs in goals (15), assists (20) and points (35) during his third season in North America. Six of those points came against the Islanders.
Head-to-Head
Simon Holmstrom was one of just three players to appear in all 12 meetings against the Bruins during the regular season, and he led Bridgeport with nine points (2g, 7a) in those contests. Cole Bardreau also performed well, recording eight points (4g, 4a) in eight matchups. Chris Terry scored a team-high five goals against Providence. The Bruins were led by forwards Samuel Asselin and Jesper Froden, who each had five goals and nine points in 12 meetings against the Islanders.
Kings of the Crease
Islanders: Cory Schneider played in four of Bridgeport's last five games, and six of the last eight. He finished the regular season with a record of 14-11-4 in 30 appearances and went 7-1-2 in his last 10 games, allowing two goals or fewer in seven of those. Schneider's .921 save percentage is fifth in the AHL and his 2.71 GAA is 18th. New York Islanders prospect Jakub Skarek is also a critical part of Bridgeport's goaltending efforts. He led the team during the regular season with 37 appearances, going 16-14-4. Skarek was named AHL Goaltender of the Month for January, posting a 5-0-2 record, 1.98 goals-against-average and .935 save percentage that month.
Bruins: Troy Grosenick is considered the favorite to win the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award, voted as the AHL's top goaltender. The 32-year-old led the league with a 2.00 GAA and .933 save percentage during the regular season, while adding three shutouts. He faced the Islanders six times, but allowed at least three goals in three of those outings. Fellow netminder Kyle Keyser played in a team-high 32 games during the regular season and faced Bridgeport five times, but was recalled by Boston and likely won't be available for Providence this week. Brandon Bussi, a 23-year-old Long Island native, signed a one-year, entry level deal with Boston on March 30th and played in five of Providence's final nine games (3-2-0).
Numbers to know
Islanders: Bridgeport was known to strike quickly during the regular season, scoring 72 times in the first period - tied for third-most in the AHL. In addition, the Islanders power play was solid down the stretch and played a large part in helping the team secure a playoff berth. Bridgeport's power play scored in each of the last three games, including two goals on Apr. 16th at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Bruins: Providence's penalty kill was consistently one of the best in the AHL during the regular season. The Bruins' PK ranked third overall at 84.5% (235-for-278) and was also third on home ice (85.5%). In addition, an early lead benefited Providence mightily during the regular season, with the Bruins scoring the first goal on 39 occasions - fifth-most in the Eastern Conference.
Quote Book...
"I was lucky enough to be part of (the New York Islanders' playoff runs) the last couple of years. We had such a tight-knit group and played a very similar style as our team does here. When I was up top, we knew we could play with anyone in the league. Big, strong, solid goaltending, and we have all the same parts down here. We're excited for the challenge. - Forward Michael Dal Colle

Reinforces How Internal Audit Protects the Public Interest Through The IIA's International Standards and Good Governance
LAKE MARY, Fla., May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing a long-standing tradition that started in the 1990s, The Institute of Internal Auditors observes "International Internal Audit Awareness Month" each May – a time for internal auditors around the world to share examples of how the profession provides value to organizations, spotlight the profession's commitment to good governance and risk management, and explain how internal auditors protect the public interest.
"Internal Audit Awareness Month is an important opportunity to educate stakeholders and the public about the vital role internal auditors play in organizations and governments of all sizes," said Anthony Pugliese, CIA, CPA, CGMA, CITP, president and CEO of The IIA. "Every day, internal auditors work to reduce risk, ensure businesses operate efficiently, provide value to their organizations, and protect stakeholders. You can find us in every industry and sector, from the world's largest brands to small, family-run businesses. The average person may not realize just how many ways we impact your life, but by the time you get to the office in the morning – or log on to your computer if you're a remote worker – you've probably already interacted with several devices, products or systems that were made safer by the assurance provided by an internal auditor."
Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to enhance and preserve organizational value. It helps a business accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Effective internal auditing supports good organizational governance and oversight, which reinforces trust and builds credibility among the institution's stakeholders.
As business evolves, so too does the role of the internal auditor. In just the last year, internal auditors:
- played a vital role in helping organizations respond to the COVID-19 pandemic;
- began ensuring integrity and compliance with significant infrastructure projects that are part of the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act;
- continued helping organizations ensure compliance with emerging regulations related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and navigate the implications of these increasingly-important measures;
- took on increased importance in helping companies prepare for – and respond to – unprecedented cybersecurity risks.
Internal auditors also have an important responsibility to protect the public interest. The IIA's International Standards under the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) enhance internal auditors' ability to provide independent and objective assurance to boards of directors and management, enabling internal auditors to build trust and confidence among internal and external stakeholders, including the public, which is essential to business and society.
To ensure the IIA's Standards keep up with the changing nature of business and serve the public interest, a Standard-setting in the Public Interest Framework was recently published by an independent IPPF Oversight Council that includes representatives from the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC); National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD); International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI); Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); and The World Bank.
"The IPPF Oversight Council examined the IIA's standard-setting structure and processes," said Alta Prinsloo, the IPPF Oversight Council Chair. "The Council believes that an internal audit activity aligned with the Standards follows best-in-class procedures to protect the public interest and to achieve the mission of internal audit: to enhance and protect organizational value by providing risk-based and objective advice and insight."
"The world is changing faster than ever, and internal audit is right there at the heart of it all," said Pugliese. "With new risks, opportunities and regulations emerging every day, internal auditors have a tremendous opportunity to guide their organizations through historic change. We're constantly upskilling internal auditors to help meet the needs of rapidly-changing businesses and global circumstances. Internal Audit Awareness Month is about recognizing the ways internal auditors drive companies forward. This month we recognize internal auditors everywhere, and invite the next generation of internal auditors to learn more about this great profession."

TAMPA, Fla., May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The DoubleLine Yield Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"), which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DLY, has declared a distribution of $0.1167 per share for the month of May 2022. The distribution is subject to the following ex-dividend, record and payment dates set by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
This news release is not for tax reporting purposes. The news release has been issued to announce the amount and timing of the distribution declared by the Board of Trustees. Distributions may include ordinary income, capital gains or return of capital. The amount of distributable income and the tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions are determined at the end of the taxable year. In early 2023, the Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV specifying how the distributions paid by the Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on a shareholder's tax return.
About DoubleLine Yield Opportunities Fund
The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of total return, with an emphasis on current income. DoubleLine believes active asset allocation across a broad range of fixed income sectors with a disciplined approach to risk management offers value-added opportunities for both income and capital growth. The Fund cannot ensure that it will achieve its investment objective, and investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or even all of your investment.

Investors should consider the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. An investment in the Fund should not constitute a complete investment program.
This document is not an offer to sell securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale or offer of these securities, in any jurisdiction where such sale or offer is not permitted.
Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value, which may increase investors' risk of loss. This risk may be greater for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period after the completion of the public offering. There are risks associated with investment in the fund.
An investment in the Fund involves certain risks arising from, among other things, the Fund's ability to invest without limit in debt securities that are at the time of investment rated below investment grade or unrated securities judged by DoubleLine to be of comparable quality (a category of investment that includes securities commonly referred to as "high yield" securities or "junk bonds"). Securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and to repay principal when due. An investment in the Fund is also subject to the risk of the use of leverage. Investments in debt securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decisions-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors. In addition, the Fund may invest in other asset classes and investments such as, among others, REITs, credit default swaps, short sales, derivatives and smaller companies which include additional risks. The Fund is a non-diversified, limited term, closed-end management investment company.
This material may include statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" under the U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, projections, estimates, and information about possible or future results related to the Fund, market or regulatory developments. The views expressed herein are not guarantees of future performance or economic results and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the views expressed herein.

The views expressed herein (including any forward-looking statements) may not be relied upon as investment advice or as an indication of the Fund's trading intent. Information included herein is not an indication of the Fund's future portfolio composition.
Distributions include all distribution payments regardless of source and may include net income, capital gains, and/or return of capital (ROC). ROC should not be confused with yield or income. The Fund's Section 19a-1 Notice, if applicable, contains additional distribution composition information and may be obtained by visiting www.doublelinefunds.com. Final determination of a distribution's tax character will be reported on Form 1099 DIV and sent to shareholders. On a tax basis, as of April 30, 2022, the estimated component of the cumulative distribution for the fiscal year to date would include an estimated return of capital of $0.0333 (4%) per share. This amount is an estimate and the actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes may change upon final determination of tax characteristics and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.

Article content
The Ontario Liberals are promising to cut transit fares across the province to $1 per ride, if elected.

Article content
They say the election pledge would cost $1.1 billion next year and could take 400,000 cars off the road each day.
Leader Steven Del Duca says this is a way to address the affordability crisis, saving a commuter taking the GO train from Whitby to Toronto more than $300 a month, for example.
The Liberals are dubbing their plan “buck-a-ride,” a reference to a popular part of Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford’s 2018 platform to offer “buck-a-beer.”
The Liberals say the $1 fares would apply to every transit system in Ontario, including GO Transit, municipal transit services and Ontario Northland service.
They promise to replace the transit systems’ lost revenue, as well as invest an additional $375 million in annual transit operating funding to support more routes, extended hours of service, accessibility and intercity connections. | https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-liberals-promise-1-transit-fares-across-province | 2022-05-02T14:17:12Z | https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-liberals-promise-1-transit-fares-across-province | false | 3 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Even for a legendary film director like Martin Scorsese, the assignment was a daunting one.
Take one of the famous American period rooms at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and make essentially a one-frame movie with no camera: a tableau, not a film, but using your cinematic sensibility. Your actors are mannequins, and the costumes have been chosen for you.
“Create a one-frame movie in a period room? A great opportunity and an intriguing challenge,” the director writes in a statement next to his creation, a mysterious mix of characters, emotions and fashion in the museum’s striking Frank Lloyd Wright Room.
Eight other directors are also putting their stamp on the period rooms, for "In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” the Met’s spring Costume Institute exhibit that will be launched with Monday’s Met Gala, opening to the public on May 7. Guests at the gala, which raises millions for the self-funding institute and has become a major fashion and pop culture spectacle, will be among the first see the displays.
The exhibit is the second part of a broader show on American fashion to mark the Costume Institute’s 75th anniversary. Masterminded as usual by star curator Andrew Bolton, the new installment is both sequel and precursor to “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” which opened last September and is focused more on contemporary designers and establishing what Bolton calls a vocabulary for fashion. (The shows will run concurrently and close together in September.)
If the new “Anthology” show is meant to provide crucial historical context, it also seeks to find untold stories and unsung heroes in early American fashion, especially female designers, and especially those of color. Many of their stories, Bolton said when announcing the show, “have been forgotten, overlooked, or relegated to a footnote in the annals of fashion history.”
The nine directors were tapped to enliven the storytelling with their own varying aesthetics. In addition to Scorsese they include two of the Met Gala’s hosts Monday night — actor-director Regina King and designer-director Tom Ford. Also contributing are last year’s Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, Radha Blank, Janicza Bravo, Sofia Coppola, Julie Dash and Autumn de Wilde.
For King, the Richmond Room, depicting early 19th-century domestic life for wealthy Virginians, provided a chance to highlight Black designer Fannie Criss Payne, who was born in the late 1860s to formerly enslaved parents and became a top local dressmaker. She was known for stitching a name tape into her garments to “sign” her work — part of an emerging sense of clothes-making as a creative endeavor.
King says she was looking “to portray the power and strength Fannie Criss Payne exudes through her awe-inspiring story and exquisite clothing,” placing her in a prosperous working situation — and proudly wearing her own design — fitting a client, and employing another Black woman as a seamstress.
Filmmaker Radha Blank looks at Maria Hollander, founder of a clothing business in the mid-19th century in Massachusetts who used her business success to advocate for abolition and women’s rights. In the museum’s Shaker Retiring Room, director Zhao connects with the minimalist aesthetic of 1930s sportswear designer Claire McCardell.
De Wilde uses her set in the Baltimore Dining Room to examine the influence of European fashion on American women — including some disapproving American attitudes about those low-cut gowns from Paris. Dash focuses on Black dressmaker Ann Lowe, who designed future first lady Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress but was barely recognized for it. “The designer was shrouded in secrecy,” writes Dash. “Invisibility was the cloak she wore, and yet she persisted.”
In the wing’s Gothic Revival Library, Bravo looks at the works of Elizabeth Hawes, a mid-20th century designer and fashion writer. And Coppola, given the McKim, Mead & White Stair Hall and another room, writes that she at first wasn’t sure what to do: ”How do you stage a scene without actors or a story?” She ultimately teamed with sculptor Rachel Feinstein to create distinctive faces for her “characters.”
Each filmmaker reached into their own bag of tricks. For Scorsese, the fashions he was given were designed by the brilliant couturier Charles James — the subject of his own Costume Exhibit (and Met Gala) in 2014. Scorsese knew he needed to create a story “that could be felt across the length of that room.” He turned to 1940s Technicolor films and used John Stah’s “Leave Her to Heaven,” what he calls “a true Technicolor noir.” As to what happens before and after the scene we see — which includes a woman crying near a portrait of a man, and a Martini glass nearby — “my hope is that people will come away with multiple possibilities unfolding in their mind’s eye.”
Sure to be a talker is the display in the museum’s Versailles room, so known for its panoramic circular view of Versailles painted by John Vanderlyn between 1818 and 1819.
Ford transforms the room into a depiction of the “Battle of Versailles” — not a military conflict but the name given to a major night for American fashion in 1973, when five American sportswear designers (including Oscar de la Renta and Anne Klein) “faced off” against five French couture designers at a show in Versailles and showed the world what American fashion was made of.
In his tableau, Ford decided to make it a real battle with warring mannequins, many dressed in ensembles from that pivotal show. “The weapons have changed,” Ford writes. “In place of fans and feather boas are fencing foils and front kicks.”
“In America: An Anthology of Fashion” opens to the public May 7. Part one, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” remains open at the Anna Wintour Costume Center. Both close in September.

Federal judge rejects Republican National Committee lawsuit against committee investigating Jan. 6 riot
In a decision that could reverberate across other Jan. 6 legal cases, a federal judge has rejected a Republican National Committee lawsuit seeking to block a campaign vendor from providing records to the House committee investigating the 2021 Capitol riot.
The House Select committee is seeking internal data from the email marketing vendor about whether the national party’s fundraising messaging after the 2020 election helped stoke violence at the Capitol, and how successful the messaging emails were for fundraising.
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tim Kelly —a Trump appointee— ruled that the committee’s subpoena for the information was reasonable and narrowly tailored in light of the evidence that the party joined former President Trump in spreading claims to supporters that the election was stolen. Kelly said the committee has demonstrated its need for the party’s data on hundreds of fundraising emails sent between Nov. 3, 2020, and Jan. 6, 2021.
In a first, Kelly also swept aside a series of legal arguments about the committee’s creation and makeup that appear in several other lawsuits from Trump allies and former campaign and White House officials trying to block the committee from accessing their private communications and phone records through third-party companies. Though Kelly stayed his decision until May 5 so the RNC can appeal — delaying the committee from receiving the requested materials — the ruling that the committee’s creation and makeup are valid and that it has a legitimate legislative purpose could be used as precedent in the more than dozen other ongoing lawsuits based on similar claims.
The committee in February subpoenaed Salesforce, the third-party vendor the RNC uses to email fundraising requests. The RNC sued the company to keep it from complying. Salesforce told Vice News in the days after the riot that it had “taken action” against the RNC to “prevent its use of our services in any way that could lead to violence,” and the House Select committee also asked for information used as the basis for that decision.
An RNC spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.
The RNC and others have tried to argue in court that because the committee does not have 13 members, as specified when it was created, and because House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) did not name committee members, the committee was not properly created. McCarthy withdrew all of his picks for the committee when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) rejected two of his five choices because of their close ties to Trump.
Pelosi instead named Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois to the committee. Cheney is vice chairwoman of the committee. Both have been punished by their party for participating.
Kelly also found that the committee’s legislative need for the GOP data outweighed the party’s concerns that sensitive, politically competitive data might be given to the committee or become public.
“Nothing suggests that the Select Committee is demanding, or that Salesforce is preparing to produce, internal RNC memoranda laying out its digital strategy,” Kelly wrote in his 53-page ruling. While information about whether an email campaign was successful may have some strategic value, he wrote, “whatever competitive harm may come to the RNC from disclosure of the actual material at issue is too ‘logically attenuated’ and ‘speculative’ to defeat the Select Committee’s weighty interest.”

‘This is not Chelsea standard’ - Loftus-Cheek concerned Blues could get drawn into top four battle
Ruben Loftus-Cheek admits individual errors which have marred recent Premier League performances are “not Chelsea standard”, with the Blues suddenly left looking over their shoulder in a battle for a top-four finish.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have occupied a Champions League qualification spot for long periods of the 2021-22 campaign, with the west London outfit proving to be the best of the rest behind title-chasing Liverpool and Manchester City.
They have however taken only one win from their last four games – with their latest game delivering a 1-0 defeat at relegation-threatened Everton – and are now just three points clear of Arsenal and five ahead of Tottenham with four fixtures left.

Will Chelsea secure a top-four finish in 2021-22?
The Blues’ fate remains in their own hands, but mistakes have crept into their game with club captain Cesar Azpilicueta paying the price against Everton for dwelling on the ball too long as he presented Richarlison with the opportunity to grab the match winner.
Loftus-Cheek told Chelsea’s official website: “We’re all very disappointed. Coming into the game we knew it was going to be a hostile atmosphere and it’d be like a final to them. We felt that straight away.
“They came out of the blocks second half and caught us napping. We were fighting an uphill battle from then on, the fans were behind them, and it was hard to break them down. It was disappointing.
“We’ve made a few mistakes over the past few matches and haven’t kept clean sheets from individual errors. That is how football is, if you keep shooting yourselves in the foot it will be difficult to get out of it.”
Will Chelsea pay the price for their mistakes?
Loftus-Cheek admits collective standards need to be raised again at Stamford Bridge over the coming weeks.
The England international midfielder said: “It’s up to us as individuals to tune in and sharpen up as a team together.
“Getting everyone ready for the game, these are basics in football. If you don’t have these basics, you will struggle like we have the last four games.
“This is not Chelsea standard at all. Our concentration levels were not good enough.
“We want top four but we cannot perform like that with other teams doing well around us. We need wins. It is hard to process it right now and we will look back at it once the emotions have calmed down.” | https://www.goal.com/en-ph/news/not-chelsea-standard-loftus-cheek/blte2545ebe7e7e625c | 2022-05-02T14:29:11Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ph/news/not-chelsea-standard-loftus-cheek/blte2545ebe7e7e625c | false | 11 |
Nearly Half of ‘Israeli’ Youths Pessimistic about ’Israel’s’ Future, 33% Think of Leaving
By Staff, Agencies
A new survey of young Zionist occupiers found that nearly half of the population in the occupied territories is not optimistic about the future of the ‘Israeli’ entity, while more than one-third of people are thinking about immigration to find jobs and improve their lives.
The poll was conducted by the ‘Israeli’ Fenima research center as part of an investigation to find a solution to reduce social fragmentation within the Zionist society.
The research center described its findings, which were published by the Hebrew-language ‘Israel’ Hayom daily newspaper on Sunday, as “worrying” and wrote that 33% of ‘Israeli’ youths are considering immigration from the occupied lands. Also, 44% of them feel there is no future for the regime.
Issues such as rising living costs, security situation and social divisions are among other reasons for young ‘Israeli’ adults to mull over leaving the occupied territories.
The poll highlighted that 40% of the respondents have cited rising costs for such a potential decision, while 22% of those asked have blamed poor security situation.
Social divisions have been described as the main immigration reason for 18% of those surveyed.
Many scholars and writers have already pointed to the theory of “Collapse from Within” regarding the future of ‘Israel,’ considering the three factors of economic crisis, poor security situation and social divisions.
There has been intense public anger in recent month in the ‘Israeli’-occupied territories over rising costs, after the price of both gasoline and electricity, as well as basic goods, went up.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's [EIU] Worldwide Cost of Living index, the coastal city of Tel Aviv is ranked the most expensive city in the world.
Tel Aviv rose to the top spot from fifth place last year, beating out Paris and Singapore, which were tied for second place.
Its move up the ladder is partly due to the increases in transport and grocery prices.
Property prices in Tel Aviv have also risen, particularly in residential areas, although they are not considered part of the index, added the EIU.
Earlier this year, thousands of Zionist occupiers held a mass demonstration in Tel Aviv to voice their resentment against the soaring cost of living in the city, which is estimated to have become the most expensive metropolis in the world to live in.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)Luis Arraez and the Minnesota Twins agreed Sunday to a one-year contract worth $2,125,000, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing that had been scheduled for June 10.
The agreement for the infielder/outfielder was at the midpoint of the $2.4 million he had asked for and the $1.85 million the Twins had offered. He can earn an additional $75,000 in roster bonuses: $37,500 each fr 152 and 157 days on the active roster.
Arraez is hitting .299 with one home run and seven RBIs in 21 games this season. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time after earning $611,000 last year, when he batted .294 with two homers and 42 RBIs.
Twenty players remain scheduled for arbitration hearings, which run through June 24. Hearings before three-person panels usually take place in February but were delayed this year because of Major League Baseball’s lockout.

BEIJING (AP) — The COVID-19 outbreak that has shut down most of Shanghai appears to be waning, with the number of new cases falling below 10,000 a day over the weekend.
Authorities have begun a limited easing of a citywide lockdown that has disrupted the lives of millions of residents and dealt at least a temporary blow to China's economy. Many have been confined to their apartments for three weeks or more. They reported difficulty ordering food deliveries in the early days of the lockdown and higher prices for what they could get.
China's largest city recorded about 7,000 cases a day on Saturday and Sunday, down from a peak of 27,605 nearly three weeks ago on April 13. Shanghai reported 32 deaths, raising the death toll to 454. Most of the victims have been elderly and many were unvaccinated.
Even as many other countries relax pandemic restrictions, the Chinese government has stuck to a "zero-COVID" approach that restricts travel, mass tests entire cities and sets up sprawling temporary facilities to try to isolate every infected person. Lockdowns start with buildings and neighborhoods but become citywide if the virus is spreading widely.
Many outside experts say it's time for China to change course. Lockdowns helped buy critical time at the start of the pandemic but zero-COVID no longer makes sense from a public health perspective and imposes socioeconomic costs, said Richard Reithinger, the vice president for global health at RTI International in Washington, D.C.
"Continuing to enforce a zero-COVID-19 policy now, including a lockdown approach and restricting travel, is almost like pretending we have learned nothing over the past two years, now that effective treatment options and various vaccines are available," he said.
But Chinese officials worry that a major outbreak could overwhelm the health care system and lead to more deaths, particularly among the unvaccinated elderly.
Authorities in Beijing have closed schools, carried out mass testing of more than 20 million people and imposed targeted lockdowns of buildings and neighborhoods to try to prevent what is still a small outbreak from reaching Shanghai proportions and necessitating a citywide lockdown.
The Chinese capital reported 50 new cases, bringing the total to 400 in the 11-day-old outbreak. Restaurants and gyms have been ordered shut for the May Day national holiday that runs through Wednesday. Major tourist sites in the city, including the Forbidden City and the Beijing Zoo, will close their indoor exhibition halls starting Tuesday.
Shanghai has recorded about 400,000 cases in China's largest outbreak since the start of the pandemic.
Reithinger said a zero-COVID policy is a blanket strategy rather than one driven by epidemiological data. Rather than citywide lockdowns, China should focus on areas where there are clusters of cases, enforce social distancing and other prevention measures and redouble its vaccination efforts, particularly among the elderly, he said. | https://www.sent-trib.com/news/shanghai-covid-outbreak-shows-signs-of-waning-as-cases-fall/article_d10bd35a-ca1e-11ec-8b3a-1b8ee66338e1.html | 2022-05-02T14:35:03Z | https://www.sent-trib.com/news/shanghai-covid-outbreak-shows-signs-of-waning-as-cases-fall/article_d10bd35a-ca1e-11ec-8b3a-1b8ee66338e1.html | true | 33 |
Steven Bergwijn sounds frustrated. You can’t really blame him. Signed in January 2020 under Jose Mourinho, he scored an incredible goal against Manchester City on his debut and has shown flashes of the prolific scoring ability he showed in the Netherlands under PSV. But those flashes hasn’t translated to consistent minutes at Tottenham Hotspur.
In a recent Dutch language interview in Algemeen Dagblad, Bergwijn has let some of that frustration through, saying that he’s open to leaving Tottenham in the summer in order to play more consistent first team minutes. (English translation in part courtesy of The Athletic)
“A place in the starting line-up? Here? I honestly don’t think so. The attack works well, but I don’t get to play much. There are still four games to go. After that, we will see in the summer what is best for everyone.”
Bergwijn needs consistent minutes for a variety of reasons, but none more than that it’s the best way for him to ensure a spot in the Netherlands’ World Cup squad this coming winter. Stevie has definitely taken his opportunities when present them with the Dutch, notably scoring three goals in friendly matches vs. Denmark and Germany in March. Ajax showed an inordinate amount of interest in signing Bergwijn this past January, but Spurs were reluctant to sell him at that time. In his comments, Steve said he’d be very open to a return to the Netherlands.
“A return to the Netherlands would certainly be an option for me. The World Cup is coming. Mr Van Gaal, the national coach, brought me into the selection last time, even though I didn’t play much. Then you come back to the club and you barely play. It is a shame, of course. In the summer we really have to look for a solution”.
At Spurs, Antonio Conte has seemed reluctant to play him. Conte has referenced that he sees Bergwijn as Harry Kane’s backup at striker, which clearly does him no favors considering Kane’s health this season; wild horses couldn’t drag Kane off the pitch, and Conte has frequently chosen to either bring him on to kill off the final minutes in matches, or more frequently, not bring him on at all.
Perhaps to his credit, Conte seems to recognize that he’s not using Bergwijn as much as he should. In his post-match press conference after Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Leicester this weekend, Conte was asked about Bergwijn, likely due to Stevie’s comments to the Dutch press, and the Italian admitted that Bergwijn isn’t being fully utilized.
“For me, it’s a bit difficult to keep him on the bench because Steven is maybe the player he should deserve more, but we have to try always a good balance. He is a striker, a fantastic striker, but in this position, there is Harry and then Sonny. Deki gives us quality and quantity, and sometimes it’s very difficult. For sure maybe I’m giving [Steven] less than he deserves, and I want to be honest. Lucas played a good 50 minutes, and we have to continue in this way and prepare for an important game.”
However, it does seem as though if Spurs need to raise funds for summer spending that Bergwijn could find an exit from North London. Conte has been open about wanting a new backup for Kane this summer, and with his wide attacking options seemingly set in Son Heung-Min and Dejan Kulusevski, that doesn’t leave much of a place for Stevie. It’s sad — he’s clearly a talented player with the ability to score exciting goals (see: the match at Leicester earlier in the season) but this is the first time Bergwijn has been open about the possibility of leaving.
The good news is that there’s almost certainly a market for him. Ajax might or might not renew their interest now that Erik Ten Hag has moved to Manchester United, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if other teams swoop in now that a transfer seems like a feasible option. I’d be open to it as well — although I’d like to see Steve get more of a run in the team, Bergwijn’s made his preference to leave plain now. I’d say now it’s probably more likely that he departs this summer than that he stays put, and it might end up being the best thing for everyone. | https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/2022/5/2/23053191/tottenham-hotspur-transfer-news-rumors-steven-bergwijn-willing-to-leave-spurs-dutch-interview | 2022-05-02T14:37:41Z | https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/2022/5/2/23053191/tottenham-hotspur-transfer-news-rumors-steven-bergwijn-willing-to-leave-spurs-dutch-interview | true | 1 |
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Monday launched his first television ad buy of his reelection bid, a $3.5 million effort that marks an uptick in activity in the governor’s race, coming on the heels of other large advertising buys by Republicans in recent weeks.
Millionaire businessman Tim Michels, who got into the race last week, launched a nearly $1 million television ad campaign. He hasn’t run for office since a failed U.S. Senate bid in 2004. A super PAC supporting Kevin Nicholson, who ran for U.S. Senate in 2018 but lost in the Republican primary, ran around $1 million worth of ads supporting him in April. Another Nicholson group last fall spent around $1 million on ads before he was officially a candidate.
Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who polls show is leading the GOP race, has run three different TV spots since January for a total in the six figures, according to her campaign. State Rep. Timothy Ramthun, another GOP candidate, has not run any TV ads.
The winner of the Aug. 9 primary will advance to face Evers in November.
Evers’ ad is positive, noting the state’s low unemployment rate and a middle-class tax cut that Evers signed in the last budget that was passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature.
The ad says that Evers “worked with Republicans and Democrats” to pass the $2 billion income tax cut, but Evers’ rarely meets with GOP legislative leaders and they have complained about Evers taking credit for the tax cut written by Republicans. The Republican co-chairs of the Legislature’s budget committee called it “laughable” for Evers to take credit for the tax cut when he signed the budget last year.
The GOP-controlled Legislature killed more than $1 billion in tax increases Evers proposed in the last budget that primarily would have fallen on manufacturers and the wealthy.
“We’re proud of the governor’s record and will continue to run an aggressive campaign that highlights the results he’s delivering and his plan for Wisconsin’s future,” Evers’ campaign manager Cassi Fenili said in a statement.
The ad also mentions the more than $1 billion in federal coronavirus relief money that was awarded to the state that Evers directed toward small businesses. The Legislature fought with Evers over control of the money, but Evers vetoed bills that would have given lawmakers a say in how it’s spent.
“Folks, there’s too much division in politics today,” Evers said into the camera. “That’s why I’m focused on bringing people together to get the results that matter.”

KLA (NASDAQ:KLAC – Get Rating) was upgraded by Zacks Investment Research from a “sell” rating to a “hold” rating in a note issued to investors on Monday, Zacks.com reports. The brokerage presently has a $335.00 target price on the semiconductor company’s stock. Zacks Investment Research‘s price objective would indicate a potential upside of 4.74% from the stock’s previous close.
According to Zacks, “KLA reported fiscal third-quarter results wherein earnings & revenues grew on a year-over-year basis. Increased customer demand across each of the major product group drove the top-line. Growing investments across multiple nodes, and rising capital intensity in Foundry & logic contributed well. Increasing customer adoption of metrology applications in leading-edge technology development and capacity monitoring propelled the optical metrology business, which was a positive factor. Further, the EPC group reported strong results for the quarter, driven by strength in automotive, 5G and advanced packaging. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis. Yet, the impacts of coronavirus pandemic remain concerns. Also, supply chain disruptions are major headwinds. Further, mounting expenses remain negatives for the company.”

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner don't need cake by the ocean to celebrate their union.
The "Sucker" singer and Game of Thrones alum commemorated their third wedding anniversary in the most chill of ways: By spending most of the evening cuddled up together at home. On May 1, Joe shared a video of him and his wife—who are parents to 21-month-old daughter, Willa and currently expecting their second child together—with text that read, "Hey guys what are you doing for your 3-year wedding anniversary?"
The 32-year-old captioned the cute Instagram post, which featured his and Sophie's reactions as they tried to guess the names of different Teletubbies, "This is how you party kids. #wegotmarriedinvegas." But it's worth noting that they didn't spend the entire occasion at home, since the couple stepped out just a few hours beforehand for dinner at Emilio's in New York City.
In May 2019, Sophie and Joe shocked fans everywhere when they tied the knot in a surprise ceremony in Vegas following the Billboard Music Awards, with the two having a bigger ceremony in Paris that June. (Clearly someone was taking notes.)
The year before the pair tied the knot, Sophie gushed about her relationship in an interview with Marie Claire.
"It's lovely to be engaged," she shared. "Not like I achieved anything, but I found my person, like I'd find a house that I love and want to stay in forever. There's a sense of peace that comes with finding your person."
Fast-forward two years, to when Joe also opened up about the sense of peace that he's found spending quality time with his family.
"It's been amazing," Joe told CBS This Morning in May 2021, noting how the pandemic allowed him to spend more time at home. "I'm always on the go, I'm always moving and traveling and touring. And to be in one place for a solid amount of time and having my feet on the ground and be with my family—my immediate family—is time I don't think I'll get back, so I'm so thankful and grateful." | https://www.eonline.com/news/1329221/see-how-pregnant-sophie-turner-and-joe-jonas-celebrated-their-third-wedding-anniversary?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | 2022-05-02T14:52:02Z | https://www.eonline.com/news/1329221/see-how-pregnant-sophie-turner-and-joe-jonas-celebrated-their-third-wedding-anniversary?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories | true | 4 |
Mini-Me statue stolen from homeowner’s porch
By KPTV Staff
Click here for updates on this story
PORTLAND, Oregon (KPTV) — Homeowners in the Irvington neighborhood captured an unexpected crime on a doorbell camera — a statue of Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies being stolen from their porch.
The statue of Mini-Me has lived outside of the Kapllani home in the Irvington neighborhood for six years.
“It was a gag gift from work that was being thrown out, and I thought it was hilarious and quirky to toss out,” said George Kapllani.
The theft happened early Wednesday morning. Once the two suspects grabbed the statue, Kapllani said they drove off in an older model white Subaru Outback.
The family has filed a police report, but there’s not much they can do but wait for Mini-Me to come back home.
“It just feels like useless or petty crime, or an invasion of property or privacy,” said Kapllani.
If you or anyone know where the statue is, please contact Portland police.

The Scuderia Corsa Ferrari will have a third-row starting position for Saturday’s Twelve Hours of Sebring, the final race of the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaign.
Cooper MacNeil turned a fifth-best lap of 2:01.802-seconds in the No. 63 WeatherTech Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 that will be co-driven by Alessandro Balzan and Jeff Westphal. Since then, MacNeil won a pair of races at the historic airport-based circuit en-route to capturing the Ferrari Challenge North American championship.
About to begin his first flying lap, MacNeil encountered slower traffic on the back straight – with three competitors weaving at slower speeds to put heat in their tires – and was forced to back off. A few laps later, he looped the Ferrari exiting Turn 4, and continued but lost a fast time on that lap.
MacNeil regrouped and posted his best time of 2:01.802-seconds, good for fifth overall in the 13-car GT Daytona field.
“I hate seeing two-tenths to P3, makes me think what could’ve been,” MacNeil said. “I tried to get more time out of the car and I had a little off. I was able to regroup, scrub the tires and put in my fast time a few laps later. We are starting fifth in a 12-hour race. Our WeatherTech Ferrari is strong over a stint, we proved that last night. There will be four or five hours of darkness here, so that is the most important time to have a good car. We are starting from a good position. I am looking forward to the race.”
This is the second race of the IMSA season at Sebring. Back in July, MacNeil finished second in the Grand Prix of Sebring, a two-hour, 40-minute race that did not count for GTD points in the WeatherTech Championship.
MacNeil, Balzan and Westphal won the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October, with the team finishing fourth at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in its last outing.
The 68th edition of the Twelve Hours of Sebring will get the command to start engines tomorrow morning from Grand Marshal Mario Andretti, with the green flag set to wave at 10:10 a.m. ET. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/competizioni-gt/articles/macneil-fifth-fastest-for-ferrari-at-sebring | 2022-05-02T14:53:22Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/competizioni-gt/articles/macneil-fifth-fastest-for-ferrari-at-sebring | false | 4 |

As investigators scramble to find a missing Alabama inmate, authorities are wondering whether the corrections official who left with him was a victim taken against her will or an accomplice who helped him escape.
"Obviously, she could have willingly participated. But we're also concerned that maybe somehow, someone got to her and coerced her or threatened her, forced her to assist in this escape," Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton told CNN on Monday.
"We're not sure. I'm not going to know the answer to that until we locate her."
Vicky White, an assistant director of corrections for the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office, was last seen Friday when she said she was taking inmate Casey White, who was being held on murder charges, for a mental health evaluation at the county courthouse.
But the officer and inmate, who are not related, never arrived at the courthouse. Authorities later discovered there was no evaluation nor hearing scheduled for Casey White that day.
And the patrol vehicle Vicky White used to drive the inmate was abandoned, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said.
"It never arrived at the courthouse. And it was found later at a shopping center parking lot about 2 miles away from the detention center," Singleton told CNN Monday.
Shortly before her disappearance, Vicky White said she had also planned to get medical care because she wasn't feeling well, Singleton said. But she never arrived.
Video security footage in the area where the patrol vehicle was found didn't turn up any evidence showing what happened to Vicky White and Casey White, the sheriff said.
"We're still aggressively pursuing every lead that we get," he said. "The biggest obstacle we have right now is we still do not have a vehicle description for whatever vehicle they may have transferred into."
No evidence of a romantic relationship, but 'it's a possibility'
Vicky White was known as an "exemplary employee" with "an unblemished record," the sheriff said.
"All of her co-workers, all the employees in the sheriff's office, the judges, all have the most utmost respect for her," Singleton said.
The sheriff said Vicky White is a widow with no children, and her mother and two brothers live in Lauderdale County.
After about two decades with the department, Vicky White submitted her retirement papers last week, the sheriff said.
Despite her stellar professional reputation, Vicky White violated protocol Friday when she removed Casey White from the detention center by herself, the sheriff said. The policy required Casey White to be escorted by two sworn deputies.
"All precautions were in place," Singleton said. "The questions we have for Director White is why she violated policy."
The sheriff said there's no clear evidence as to whether Vicky White and Casey White had a personal relationship.
As the county's assistant director of corrections, Vicky White "was frequently throughout the cell blocks, has contact with all the inmates at one time or another," Singleton said.
"But as far as a romantic relationship or something like that, we have no evidence or proof that that was the case, although it's a possibility."
'She's definitely in danger -- willingly or not'
Casey White was serving 75 years for a series of crimes in 2015, including a home invasion, carjacking and a police chase, according to the US Marshals Service, which is now leading the investigation into the disappearance of the inmate and Vicky White.
Casey White also faces two counts of capital murder for the stabbing death of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway in 2015, the US Marshals said.
In 2020, Casey White confessed to the killing and then pleaded not guilty, Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly said. The inmate was being held while awaiting trial.
Now, with the murder suspect at large and the corrections official missing, "The community of course is concerned, as are we," Singleton said.
"She's definitely in danger, willingly or not. This guy's no one to mess with," the sheriff said.
"He's 6-foot-9, weighs somewhere around 250 pounds. ... We're assuming he's armed because she was armed."
In 2020, Casey White planned to escape the jail and take a hostage, but detention center employees caught him, Singleton said.
The prison then established a policy mandating two sworn deputies accompany him at all times, including during transportation to the courthouse, the sheriff said.
"He was in jail for capital murder, and he had nothing to lose," the sheriff said.
"Whether she assisted him or not, we don't know. And we won't address that until we have absolute proof that that's what happened. We are assuming at this point that she was taken against her will unless we can absolutely prove otherwise. But regardless, even if she did assist him, we think she's in danger."
Vicky White's mother, Pat Davis, told CNN affiliate WAAY she's in a state of shock.
"As a mother, I didn't know how to act because I thought at first it was a mistake," Davis said. "And then when I found out for sure it was, it was just disbelief."
Vicky White had recently sold her house and had been living with her mother for the past five weeks, Davis told WAAY. The mother said her daughter didn't talk much about work, didn't mention retirement and never spoke about Casey White.
"I didn't know anything about him," Davis said. "We don't know if she was took by force or if she was voluntarily in this. But we just want her back. That's all we want."
The US Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the location of Vicky White and the capture of Casey White.

NEW YORK, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rinsed, the car wash CRM, today announced it raised $12 million in Series A financing from Bedrock Capital and Founders Fund. Rinsed helps car washes of all sizes delight their customers and grow their subscription revenue with easy-to-use customer relationship management software. Rinsed integrates with car washes' existing point-of-sale hardware, and enables automated email & text marketing, customer engagement to reduce churn, and online sales directly through their website.
"We are empowering operators with best-in-class subscription management tools built specifically for the needs of the car wash industry," said Austin Esecson, CEO and co-founder of Rinsed. "As the car wash market shifts to a subscription model, the problems faced by operators now extend beyond the driveway to encompass every interaction the wash has with its customers and subscribers."
"At Rinsed, we want to enable car wash operators to imbue every customer interaction with the same quality of a personalized, frictionless experience that they deliver at the wash. That might start with an automated follow-up text to a first-time wash customer, continue with the conversion of that single-wash customer to a subscriber through a single-page online checkout form, and conclude with the user-friendly mobile management of that membership to update their credit card on file. We view each touchpoint as an opportunity to further engage with the customer and ultimately strengthen that underlying relationship."
John Luttig, of Founders Fund said, "Rinsed is the only CRM built to support the $15 billion car wash market. The company is uniquely positioned to help car wash operators enter the digital era by leveraging the increasingly critical subscription model."
Rinsed was founded by Austin Esecson, Sam Logan and Nic Hippenmeyer. The company previously raised an unannounced $3 million Seed Round from Bedrock Capital and Y Combinator along with other angel investors. Mischief additionally participated in both the Seed and Series A.
Rinsed already serves more than 300 car washes and grew annual recurring revenue by over 400% in the past year. Eric Stromberg, co-founder and Managing Partner of Bedrock Capital, will be joining the board as part of this transaction, "The Rinsed team combines deep car wash expertise with experience building scalable technology products. The result is a purpose-built platform for the industry, empowering operators everywhere to build loyal relationships with customers and grow revenue. We first invested in 2020 shortly after the company was started. Given the speed of execution and rapid growth since, we are thrilled to double down and lead the Series A."
The company helps manage over 1 million subscribers for some of the highest volume car wash groups in the country, including Crew Carwash, Metro Express, Mammoth Holdings, Whitewater, and El Car Wash.
Justin Landau, CEO of El Car Wash said, "Rinsed has been instrumental as El Car Wash has grown from 7 to 20+ locations in the South Florida area. Using their tools has helped us better engage with customers, grow our membership base, and reduce churn. Rinsed has helped us modernize the way we manage and grow our business."
Rinsed will use proceeds from the round to continue growing its engineering and customer success teams. The company has offices in downtown Manhattan and Lehi, UT. Rinsed is hiring for both remote and New York-based positions across the organization.

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (AP) — Robert C. Krueger, who followed two U.S. House terms with a brief interim appointment to the Senate before launching a sometimes-hazardous diplomatic career, has died at age 86, his family said Sunday.
Krueger died Saturday morning in his New Braunfels home with his wife by his side after suffering from congestive heart failure, daughter Sarah Krueger said.
Funeral arrangements were pending.
Most of Krueger’s career was as an academic at Duke University, the University of Texas at Austin, Rice University, Oxford University and Texas State University.
Even while pursuing that career, Krueger, a Democrat, ventured into politics in 1974 with his first election to the U.S. House. After two House terms, President Jimmy Carter appointed him as a U.S. ambassador at large and coordinator for Mexican affairs. He served in that capacity until the end of the Carter administration in 1981.
Krueger returned to elective politics when he won a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission in 1990. He served from January 1991 until Texas Gov. Ann Richards tapped him to complete Lloyd Bentsen’s unexpired U.S. Senate term in January 1993 when Bentsen left to become President Bill Clinton’s Treasury secretary. However, Krueger lost to Republican Kay Baily Hutchison in a June 1993 special election.
Krueger returned to diplomacy when Clinton named him U.S. ambassador to Burundi in 1994. The eastern African country was embroiled in civil strife at the time. Krueger had to be airlifted when his convoy was attacked by unidentified gunmen in June 1995, killing one convoy member and injuring several others, and was recalled from the post for his safety.
Krueger was U.S. ambassador to Botswana in 1996-99 and a special U.S. representative to the 14-nation Southern African Development Community in 1998-2000. He then returned to academia as a visiting fellow at Merton College, Oxford, and continued his academic pursuits until his 2017 retirement from a lectureship position at Texas Tech University. | https://www.mystateline.com/news/national/krueger-ex-texas-congressman-and-diplomat-dies-at-86/ | 2022-05-02T15:03:52Z | https://www.mystateline.com/news/national/krueger-ex-texas-congressman-and-diplomat-dies-at-86/ | false | 50 |

Some of you are probably wondering why the Audi A8/S8 is still around in its current iteration, especially with Mercedes and BMW having already launched fully electric variants of their flagship sedan models in the EQS and i7, respectively.
Well, to be fair, Audi unveiled this latest, fourth-generation A8, in late 2017. Meanwhile, the S8 variant broke cover in late 2019 as a 2022 model, so it’s not really that old, once you factor everything in.
Still, while it may not be old on paper, it certainly looks a bit old compared to the competition. The styling is not exactly futuristic, although some buyers might prefer it that way. Then there’s the interior, great stuff mind you, but visually it’s not going to impact you on the same level as a Mercedes S-Class or EQS would.
Those of you who don’t necessarily care about looking as flashy as possible in your luxury sedans can buy into the 2022 Audi A8 range from $86,500. However, it’s the S8 variant that’s most appealing, because it’s not only more engaging to drive, but it also has more “road presence” – to go with a starting price of $116,900.
This 2022 model year version is a little more appealing than the outgoing 2020 model, according to Doug DeMuro, who sampled both cars. Of course, the difference between them is negligible, seen as how the 2022 S8 only offers a mild update. Still, newer is almost always better.
DeMuro definitely enjoyed his time with this latest S8, yet in the end, gave it the exact same score as he did the 2020 model year car. He then argued that while the Audi may be more fun to drive than something like a 2021 Mercedes S 580, the latter has newer features, better quality materials and is more comfortable overall.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (30 June 2020) – Ferrari returns to major North American competition this weekend with the WeatherTech 240 at Daytona International Speedway, the second round of the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Scuderia Corsa will celebrate American Independence Day with a patriotic red, white and blue livery on the No. 63 WeatherTech Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 for the event under the lights on Saturday, July 4. Cooper MacNeil and Toni Vilander will co-drive in the two-hour, 40-minute race. The pair finished seventh in the season-opening 24 At Daytona back in January. The coronavirus pandemic then put a halt to competition in the days ahead of the planned Sebring 12 Hour event in March. The WeatherTech 240 was added to the schedule to give IMSA an opportunity to get back in action, with a limited number of spectators allowed for the event with strict social distancing mandates in place. “Finally. We will get back to racing,” MacNeil said. “It has been a long four months and I am looking forward to getting back to competition. I took delivery of a simulator and have been keeping my competitive edge sharp doing some laps on the upcoming tracks. We were able to get the Ferrari Challenge car out at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca a couple of weeks ago to turn some laps, so that will help for this weekend.” MacNeil and Vilander were joined by Jeff Westphal and Alessandro Balzan at the 24 Hours at Daytona. After running in podium position in the early stages of the race, a green flag pit stop to change brakes cost the team a lap. Extended stretches of green-flag racing set a record pace, and eliminated the possibilities to make up the lap under yellow. With a return to Daytona, the team is eager to put the lessons learned in the season-opener to use and build the momentum as the championship is set for an intense roster of races through the second half of 2020. “We didn’t have the greatest run at the 24 Hour, but we now have 24 hours of data on the new Ferrari Evo package to draw from to make the car better for this weekend,” MacNeil explained. “It will be a short and compact weekend, but we are ready. IMSA has a great plan in place to keep everyone safe, checking temperatures, creating distance in the garage, all necessary things so we can get back to the schedule and continue on with the racing season.” Vilander is more than ready to end his longest “vacation” from racing in more than 30 years. “It’s been a super strange and awkward time without any racing,” Vilander said. “I think the last time I had such a break was in the late 80s when I was karting. It was nice to spend time with the family. In Finland, things were quite calm, we didn’t have to wear masks. There were restrictions, but life was pretty normal. Seeing the situation here in Florida, things are quite serious. The airplane was empty on my way here, have to wear a mask everywhere, so very different. IMSA has done a great job with all of their assistance with travel controls. “We raced the new EVO kit on our WeatherTech Ferrari at the 24,” continued Vilander. "We had speed at the Roar and in practice. When qualifying came and the race, our competitors found a lot of speed. There has been a lot of data review since the 24. We will make some changes to try and get up to speed quickly as there isn’t much practice time. I am looking forward to getting back in the car. It will take a few laps to get back into the flow. I miss the team and Cooper and I am ready to get back to work.” The streamlined Daytona schedule includes practice on Friday at 6:15 p.m. (all times ET) and Saturday at 10:15 a.m., with qualifying Saturday at 1:55 p.m. The race takes the green flag Saturday evening at 6:05 p.m. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/competizioni-gt/articles/ferrari-returns-to-action-at-daytona | 2022-05-02T15:16:12Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/competizioni-gt/articles/ferrari-returns-to-action-at-daytona | true | 4 |
Increasing demand for insulin syringes, due to surge in cases of diabetes and obesity, and rapid rise in incidence of chronic diseases among all age groups are some key factors driving market revenue growth
NEW YORK, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global insulin syringes market size is expected to reach USD 2.69 Billion in 2030 and register a revenue CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period, according to latest report by Reports and Data. Increasing demand for insulin syringes, due to surge in cases of diabetes and obesity, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases are key factors expected to drive market revenue growth during the forecast period. Increasing use of portable medical instruments, including insulin syringes, for quicker, easier, and more effective treatment, is expected to support revenue growth of the global market in the near future.
In today's fast-paced and busy world, people prefer to have quick access to health diagnostics and healthcare devices and tools. Insulin syringes are one of those portable tools that are helpful and effective for patients who need regular administration of insulin. It is much easier and more time-efficient to self-inject than visiting a nursing home or hospital for daily insulin doses, which is expected to increase demand for insulin syringes and thus, drive revenue growth of the global market.

However, concerns regarding high prices of advanced insulin syringes and insulin can restrict market revenue growth during the forecast period. Leading manufacturers, due to increased investments in Research & Development (R&D) and global rise in costs of raw materials, are manufacturing advanced insulin syringes that are costlier than conventional syringes. Moreover, the price hike in insulin vials is not expected to reduce during the forecast period. These factors could hamper revenue growth of the global market over the forecast period.
Some Key Highlights in the Report
- ½ cc syringe (0.5ml) segment is expected to register a steady revenue growth rate during the forecast period. This syringe holds 31 to 50 units of insulin dosage, and the insulin dosage required for type-1 diabetes is generally close to the capacity of a 0.5 ml syringe. Therefore, most patients suffering from type-1 diabetes prefer to use this syringe for insulin administration, which in turn, is expected to increase demand for ½ cc syringes and drive revenue growth of this segment.
- Type-1 diabetes segment is expected to register a steady revenue growth rate over the forecast period. Type-1 diabetes is characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin, and therefore, patients with this condition require daily dosage of insulin. Around 9 million individuals across the globe have type-1 diabetes, and most of them live in high-income economies where healthcare expenses are also high. The fact that type-1 diabetes cannot be prevented makes patients dependent on insulin injections for lifelong, which is contributing to revenue growth of this segment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Country Music Hall of Fame will induct Ray Charles and The Judds into its ranks on Sunday night, though the death of Naomi Judd a day earlier will undoubtedly alter the normally celebratory ceremony.
The hall continued with the ceremony at the request of Judd’s family, but with “heavy hearts and weighted minds,” according to CEO Kyle Young.
Mother-daughter act Naomi and Wynonna Judd were among the most popular duos of the 1980s, scoring 14 No. 1 hits during their nearly three-decade career.
Inductees are usually honored with speeches, performances of their songs and the unveiling of a plaque that will hang in the Hall of Fame’s rotunda. However, a planned public red carpet prior to the ceremony was canceled.
Fans gathered outside the museum anyway on Sunday, drawn to a white floral bouquet outside the entrance and a small framed photo of Naomi Judd below. A single rose was laid on the ground.
Charles’ induction will showcase his genre-defying country releases, which showed the genre’s commercial appeal. The Georgia-born singer and piano player grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry and in 1962 released “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music,” which became one of the best selling country releases of his era.
Charles’ version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” spent five weeks on top of the Billboard 100 chart and remains one of his most popular songs. He died in 2004.
Much of the attention Sunday will likely be on Naomi Judd, who died unexpectedly on Saturday near Nashville.
“We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,” daughters Wynonna and Ashley said in a statement to The Associated Press announcing her death. “We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public.”
Sarah Trahern, CEO of the Country Music Association, said at the beginning of Sunday’s ceremony that the music community wanted to lift up the Judd family in their time of grieving.
“Love doesn’t simply build a bridge; it is the bridge,” said Trahern. “The Judds taught us that and love is Naomi’s enduring legacy.”
The Hall of Fame will also honor two recordings musicians: Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake.
Bayers, a drummer in Nashville for decades who worked on 300 platinum records, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry band. He regularly played on records for The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, Alan Jacksonand Kenny Chesney. He is the first drummer to join the institution.
Drake, who died in 1988, was a pedal steel guitar player and a member of Nashville’s A-team of skilled session musicians, played on hits like “Stand By Your Man” by Tammy Wynette and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones. He is the first pedal steel guitar player to become part of the Hall of Fame. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/judds-ray-charles-to-be-inducted-into-country-hall-of-fame/ | 2022-05-02T15:16:54Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/judds-ray-charles-to-be-inducted-into-country-hall-of-fame/ | false | 29 |
Cedar slats mark the facade of Floating House, Doug and Becca Worple's lake house in Ontario. The architects, MOS, chose materials and shapes that wouldn’t stand out. “They’re really simple, almost Platonic forms,” principal Michael Meredith says. The modest cabin has boat, a gabled roof and a cladding of untreated cedar, a material that shows up on docks and homes along Georgian Bay. “Allowing the buildings to weather seems the right thing to do,” Sample says. And it’s ready for winter: Sliding barn doors seal the place up as an impenetrable box. | https://www.dwell.com/@chadludeman | 2022-05-02T15:17:38Z | https://www.dwell.com/@chadludeman | true | null |

PUTNAM COUNTY, Ga. — Editor's note: Video in this story is from a previous motions hearing. See the latest updates on the case on 13WMAZ News at 6.
We're coming up on what could be the last chapter of Ricky Dubose's death penalty trial. He and his fellow prison inmate Donnie Rowe are accused of brutally killing two Georgia corrections officers.
Now, jury selection for Dubose's trial begins Monday. Here is a recap the murders and court proceedings so far...
Corrections officers Curtis Billue and Christopher Monica were shot aboard a prison bus while driving inmates through Putnam County in June 2017.
Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said inmates Ricky Dubose and Donnie Rowe escaped and went on a crime spree, ending in Tennessee days later.
"Either he'll get death, or he'll get life, or he'll get life without parole,” said Sills.
He says danger is everywhere, but it's hard when the victims wear a uniform.
"Anytime anybody in law enforcement is killed in the line of duty, it has a big impact on other law enforcement personnel. You often wonder, that could've been me,” he said.
Sills says he's the lead investigator in the double-homicide and the jury will be picked in Brunswick. He's packed enough clothes for a couple of weeks.
"It's taken a remarkably long time. I've never had a case in my entire career that's taken this long,” said Sills.
Last August, one of the suspects – inmate Donnie Rowe – was convicted of all charges. He was sentenced to life in jail without parole.
Sills says both he and the officers' families were disappointed that the jury didn't vote for the death penalty.
"I'm sure that with this finally coming about is going to help them because I can see the frustration in their faces,” said Sills.
13WMAZ reached out to the families of Curtis Billue and Christopher Monica, but they declined to comment. But their statements during Rowe's trial speak for themselves.
"You are a murderer. A thief. You have taken things that were not yours,” said Carole Billue, Sgt. Billue's sister.
"The defendant took something from me that I'll never get back -- my dad. He ruthlessly murdered my dad with no remorse,” said Sgt. Monica’s daughter, Zoey. “I was 16-years old. I had to grow up without him. He wasn't there to see me graduate, or see me at my senior lead out for prom, or to start college. He will miss my entire life. I will be the girl who will one day walk down the aisle without my dad by my side.”
Sills says that the jury is just as much a part of the justice system as he is, and the trial is in their hands.
"You know we want the death penalty, but that's not up to us... it's up the jury,” he said.
The trial starts Monday. Sills says lawyers in the case won't come back to Putnam County's courthouse to start presenting evidence until early June.
CASE TIMELINE
June 13, 2017: Investigators say Ricky Dubose and Donnie Rowe were being transported on a bus when they overpowered the two guards, killed them, and escaped. It happened on Highway 16 W of Sparta near Eatonton around 6:45 a.m. There were 33 prisoners and two guards on the bus.
A man was driving on the highway when he saw the stopped bus and thought it was part of a work detail. When he stopped his car, he was robbed at gunpoint. The driver was unharmed and flagged down the next car for help.
During a media briefing that night, Sheriff Howard Sills said the two inmates broke into a home in Morgan County earlier that day. The home was ransacked and Dubose and Rowe stole some food and clothes, according to Sills.
June 14, 2017: The search for the two inmates expanded around the Southeast. Authorities said they recovered the vehicle taken by the two escaped inmates near the scene of the house burglary.
That night, a white Ford F-250 was stolen from the Seven Islands Road area of Morgan County.
June 15, 2017: Police in Shelbyville, Tennessee, told the GBI they responded to a home invasion where the two inmates tied two people up and left the scene.
According to Bedford County Sheriff Austin Swing, Dubose and Rowe ditched a vehicle at the base of a hill in Shelbyville, covering the car with grass and branches.
Swing said they forced their way into a home at gunpoint and the couple who lived there spent the next three hours tied up while the fugitives ate their beef stew and pilfered their valuables.
He said the two stole the couple's Jeep Cherokee and led deputies on a high-speed chase followed by a foot chase down I-24 just south of Murfreesboro.
A nearby homeowner heard the men outside and held them at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived.
TIMELINE IN COURT
June 20, 2017: Dubose and Rowe make their first appearance in court. District Attorney Stephen Bradley requests the death penalty.
Nov 29, 2018: A trial date for Ricky Dubose is set for Sept. 2019.
Jan - March 2019: Hearings move jury selection for the trial to Grady County in southwest Georgia. The jury will then be transported to Putnam County.
June 2019: Inmates on the bus in June 2017 sue the Georgia Department of Corrections and prison officials, saying their civil rights were violated. They claim they were injured during or after the June 13 fatal shootings. The inmates also blamed the shootings on the Department of Corrections and their failure to follow procedures.
Aug 2019: Dubose's trial is delayed to allow time for mental status testing.
Oct 2019: The inmates' lawsuit is dismissed.
Nov 2019: An investigator is charged with passing contraband to Dubose in prison.
Dec 2019: Dubose's trial is set for July 2020.
Feb 2021: Rowe's trial scheduled for April gets moved to August due to the coronavirus pandemic.
May 2021: Charges against the investigator accused of passing contraband to Dubose are dropped.
Aug 30, 2021: Jury selection for Rowe's trial starts in Grady County. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
Sept. 24, 2021: Rowe found guilty on all charges in the murders of Georgia corrections officers Curtis Billue and Christopher Monica.
Sept. 30, 2021: Jury sentences Rowe to life without parole.
Feb. 16, 2022: During a pretrial hearing, Dubose's legal team argued he has an intellectual disability that should take the death penalty off the table.
May 2022: Jury selection for Dubose trial begins.

Elan Homes has opened its second Lancashire development, at Redwood Gardens, Marton Moss, with houses released for sale off plan and by appointment only.
Spanning just over 10 acres, the site was the first Lancashire acquisition for Cheshire-based Elan.
The company has since acquired further sites in the county including Wrea Green Meadows, Wrea Green, where homes are now on sale, and at Lower Darwen, where building will soon be under way.
At Redwood Gardens, part of the wider 422-home Redwood Point development, Elan is building 86 homes. The scheme will offer a choice of three and four-bedroom homes, ranging in size from 972 sq ft to 1,953 sq ft.
Marie Morris, sales director for Elan Homes in the North, said: “We’ve been building a database of potential purchasers since we announced we’d acquired land for housing in Marton Moss and now have around 300 people interested in living here. In response to the demand, we’ve released the first phase of properties off plan as we work towards opening a show home.
"While Elan is a relatively new name in Lancashire, we have a proven track record for building high quality homes that people love living in and our development in nearby Wrea Green is proving popular.”
The homes at Redwood Gardens will enjoy a leafy setting, with extended areas of linear landscaping, tree planting being carried out and hedgerows planted to all front gardens. | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/business/consumer/house-builder-releases-fylde-homes-for-sale-at-second-lancashire-site-3677073 | 2022-05-02T15:21:39Z | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/business/consumer/house-builder-releases-fylde-homes-for-sale-at-second-lancashire-site-3677073 | true | 1 |
Stats prove Haaland and Son are deadliest strikers in Europe this season – with Ronaldo ahead of Salah AND Kane
ERLING HAALAND and Son Heung-min have been the sharpest shooters in Europe this season.
They are the only two players to achieve a goal conversion rate of 25 per cent and above of the non-penalty shots they have taken this year, per Squawka.
Haaland, who is wanted by Manchester City and Real Madrid this summer, has scored 41 non-penalty goals from 159 non-penalty shots.
Only two of the Norwegian's goals have come from outside the box with Son managing triple that amount.
He scored a brilliant long-range curler against Leicester on Sunday with his weaker foot - making him the Premier League's second-highest goalscorer this season.
The Spurs star has three goals less than Mo Salah this season with the Egyptian sitting on 22 - five of which have been penalties.
Salah has been in fine form for quadruple chasers Liverpool this season but still only managed a conversion rate of 13.7 per cent from 241 non-penalty shots.
Team-mate Sadio Mane has 13.6 per cent from 184 non-penalty shots - a little less than Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with 14.5 per cent from 262 non-penalty shots.
Arsenal target Robert Lewandowski has been the third most accurate striker this season.
He has scored 49 goals for Bayern Munich this season and recorded a conversion rate of 22.8 per cent from an astonishing 272 shots.

Harry Kane has also been outperformed by Haaland with the England captain managing a 12.4 per cent conversion rate - which is perhaps why City have turned their attention to Haaland.
But the Spurs star could still help Antonio Conte's side finish in the top four this season - though they may have to beat rivals Arsenal in a few days to do so.
There has been little to separate the two north London clubs this season with just two points between them currently. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18437543/haaland-son-ronaldo-salah-kane/ | 2022-05-02T15:26:28Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18437543/haaland-son-ronaldo-salah-kane/ | true | 4 |
Celtic vs Rangers LIVE: Gilmour ‘gone backwards’, Lundstram staredown, Postecoglou on surprise Rod Stewart visit
CELTIC are in a really strong position to win the Premiership title after sharing the points with Rangers at Parkhead on Sunday.
Jota had fired the home side into the lead before Fashion Sakala netted a second half equaliser in the final derby of the campaign.
The Light Blues striker smashed a low effort off Joe Hart's post as the away side pushed for the winner on derby day.
However, things turned sour at the end of the game as fans lobbed missiles at one another.
Both clubs released statements of their own and eight arrests were made by cops.
FINAL THREE
Rangers and Celtic both have three league games to play before the Premiership season comes an end.
Here are the remaining fixtures in full:
Rangers: Dundee United, Ross County, Hearts.
Celtic: Hears, Dundee United, Motherwell.
Backwards Billy
Tony Cascarino believes Billy Gilmour has gone BACKWARDS in his spell at Norwich.
The Chelsea kid hasn't featured much in the league's bottom side but remains a key part of Steve Clarke's Scotland squad.
He told talkSPORT: "The lad Gilmour that came to Norwich, didn’t do particularly well at the club, and the fans turned on him at the start of the season."He’s a terrific young footballer but, somehow, he’s not grown.
"We talk all the time about young lads going elsewhere and improving – the lad Williams as well from Man United – but they’ve gone backwards this year.
"Two players have gone there from big clubs have gone backwards at Norwich."
In Fashion
Fashion Sakala added to his Rangers goal tally at Parkhead yesterday.
Can he be the man Van Bronckhorst trusts in midweek?
Here's his numbers in the league this term.
EYES ON GERMANY
Rangers will be keeping a keen eye on the Bundesliga tonight with Europa League rivals RB Leipzig in action.
They face a trip to Borussia Monchengladbach in a key fixture for their automatic Champions League hopes.
Freiburg occupy 4th spot and the final spot at Europe's top table through the league placings with Leverkusen one place ahead having played a game less.
FC Cologne and Union Berlin are also firmly in the hunt going into the last couple of games.
But tonight is a massive game for Leipzig - just days ahead of a crucial semi-final showdown at Ibrox.
MORE FROM ANGE
"It's very humbling, and I'm proud.
"It's not just representative of my work but all the staff.
"It's been a big challenge for us and I think people have recognised that. It's great when it is voted by your peers because they understand what you're going through.
"It's not what drives or motivates me [proving people wrong]. I'm not too harsh on people that said the jury was out on me. I understand that.
"There was no great recognition of what I have done, and when you come from the other side of the world that's always understandable.
"People have recognised the challenge I had, especially in a year that many thought would be a transition season.
"Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we tick off the big one."
FIRST CLASS
Ange Postecoglou has heaped praise on John Kennedy and his Celtic coaching staff
The Aussie boss arrived at Parkhead last summer on his own - in a decision he revealed was made by himself.
He last night landed the PFA Manager of the Year award with the Hoops on the verge of landing the Premiership title alongside their Premier Sports Cup success.
He told Sky Sports: "It was my call not to bring anyone in - and just to assess the staff I had.
"The key to that was then getting them to believe in me. They've been outstanding.
"Led by John Kennedy who has been at the club a long time. He understands what success looks like but all the staff have been great.
"For us to be in the position we are has taken a massive collective effort."
Firm legends
Ally McCoist shared a picture with Celtic hero Danny McGrain before yesterday's Old Firm clash.
The pair posed outside Celtic Park prior to the 1-1 draw.
Fans from both sides took to social media to laud the 'legendary' pair.
McGrain was at Celtic for 17 years and is widely regarded as one of the best right backs in British football history.

“I have been in dressing rooms before where because of nerves people might be physically sick.
"Everyone takes it different. Dwight Yorke was one of the most laid-back people before games. I was told just to embrace it.
“It’s down to the manager to create, as best as he can, the environment, then it’s up to the players.
"The biggest thing for Ange is to keep a lid on things.
"It’s a wonderful opportunity, yes. You have to be prepared for every scenario.”
HE IS THE BOS
Mark Bosnich has hailed Ange Postecoglou as a winner with a capital W.
The Celtic boss is on the verge of securing his first Premiership title after Sunday's draw with Rangers.
The gap remains at six points with three games to go following the 1-1 draw at Parkhead.
He told AK Media: “It would be a superb achievement. He’s illuminating a pathway for young Australian coaches.
“I got to know Ange really well sitting next to him for nearly four years when we worked at Fox Sports together.
“Knowing the style of football he plays, his approach to football, it will be a fantastic achievement.
"When he first came there and there were so many doubters, I think that inspired him more. It’s understandable, especially people from Europe.
"He’ll definitely be on the front foot; he’s a winner with a capital W.
“The thing that really endeared him to Australian football fans was the style of football he played. The style of football he plays allows fans to be very, very proud of their team. That’s wherever he has gone.”
BORNA AGAIN
Borna Barisic has labelled Rangers' game with RB Leipzig as their 'biggest game of the season'.
The Light Blues trail the Bundesliga outfit 1-0 going into the Europa League semi-final second leg at Ibrox on Thursday night.
He said: "Listen, this is now our biggest game of the season on Thursday.
"We know what we need to do, we know how they play. We know how they played in Germany will be different at Ibrox.
"We cannot wait for that game to show energy, to show desire, to try to qualify for the final.
"We know the fans will help our performance for sure. They'll be behind us like always.
"It's on us now to perform on Thursday. I expect a very, very good atmosphere and we'll see what happens. We'll give everything to win the game."
ALL HART
Joe Hart insists Celtic still have work to do in their bid to win the Premiership.
He said: "Look you're never going to get me to sit here and say that but I think we've worked very hard to be in this position.
"We've come through a lot and we're pleased with where we are and we've got a job to do. And that continues.
"This league is not set up for us to win it. There is opposition out there, there are other teams trying to do it.
"Rangers mathematically are still in this fight. They're never going to lie down.
"This fixture wouldn't allow them to lie down and that's why it's such a great fixture to be involved in."
JOB NOT DONE
Jota insists Celtic's bid to win the Premiership title is NOT done and they will be ready to go into battle with Hearts next week.
He told Celtic TV: The job's not done. We keep on going. We rest and then next week we go again.
"It's game after game. We know how important the next one is, so we keep on, we don't give up, we get together the troops and we go into battle next week."
He continued: "It's always a tough game against Rangers so we tried our best. We wanted to win but, unfortunately, we didn't.
"Our style of game always aims for goals and pressing and keeping after them, but unfortunately we didn't score again after the first goal.
"We kept on trying and then we conceded a goal. But the main thing to think about all of this is that we didn't give up."
Big bad John
John Lundstram's reputation on the park continues to grow.
Off it, Rangers fans' will soar after his latest moment.
Gers supporters loved a clip circulating social media showing Lundstram staring down jeering Celtic supporters.
The incident came after the game when the 28-year-old was leaving Parkhead for the coach home.
Despite a barrage of boos and insults, Lundstram smiled, stared back and kept on walking.
SURPRISE AT THE DOOR
Ange Postecoglou has also revealed the time Rod Stewart rocked up at his door and gave him a hug.
The Celtic-daft rocker is a regular at Parkhead and showed his appreciation and love for the current Hoops gaffer.
He revealed the surprise visit as he opened up on the Celtic fans' adaptation of 'Last Christmas' by Wham! to include his name.
He added: “My wife was horrified.
“My kids actually think that is how the Christmas song goes.
“They have never heard George Michael’s version so it was horrifying for my wife hearing my two boys signing that song at Christmas time with my name in it. It is all a bit surreal.
“Before one of the recent games I had a knock on my door and Rod Stewart came in and gave me a hug. That goes to show you how well worlds change."
DRINK TO THAT
Ange Postecoglou admits he isn't looking too far ahead and is taking each game as it comes in Celtic's bid to win the Premiership.
Sunday's 1-1 draw with Rangers leaves the Hoops six points clear at the top with just three games left to play as they close in on the league crown.
Postecoglou says it will be a special moment when the time comes and he intends to crack open some of his Scottish whiskey selection in celebration.
Speaking on ABC TV's Offsiders programme, he said: “It is the whole one game at a time sort of headset I have got on at the moment.
"I am not looking too far ahead.
“We still have a couple of steps to go. It will be special.
“I have already got a fairly decent collection of some fine Scottish whiskey.
“If it does happen then I will break open a couple of the special ones and have a couple of the quiet ones."
More from Commons
Commons believes Celtic were there for the taking and were LUCKY to get a point.
He added: “Celtic were there for the taking.
“In the end, they were lucky to draw. Fashion Sakala could quite easily have had a hat-trick on a different day.
“Ryan Kent also missed a good chance, while Joe Hart produced a great save to deny Scott Arfield in the second half.
“Don't get me wrong, Celtic missed a few chances of their own. But if we're talking about how Postecoglou can improve this team, the defence looks to be an obvious starting point.
“There's no doubt Carl Starfelt has improved over the course of the season from the player who first arrived in Glasgow last summer.
“He can look good at times and, in fairness, he dealt with a lot of danger really well yesterday. But he still makes me nervous."
'Glass jaw'
Celtic's defence has been pinpointed as an area of concern for Ange Postecoglou by former star Kris Commons.
He branded the key part of the side as Celtic's 'glass jaw' despite having the meanest defence in the Premiership this season.
He told the Daily Mail: “There have been some games this season where they have enjoyed well over 80 per cent of possession. It's incredible to watch when they are in full flow.
“But there's still a nervousness and a fragility to their defence against teams with a bit more quality and bravery to engage them higher up the pitch.
“We've seen it all season. In conceding 15 times across six games in the group stage of the Europa League, Postecoglou's side shipped more goals than any other team in the competition.
“Bodo/Glimt then ran riot in the Europa Conference League, beating Celtic 5-1 on aggregate over the two legs.
“There's a glass jaw to this Celtic team and we saw it once again against Rangers yesterday. Plainly, Rangers will be kicking themselves that they didn't leave Parkhead with three points."
AWARDS SEASON
Liel Abada reacts after winning Celtic's Young Player of the Year award.
He said: “I am really happy.
“This is really a grand moment for me.
“I really want to say thank you to the fans, coaches and players who voted for me. Thank you everyone for the support.”
“I am really happy to be here.”
'WONDERFUL'
Michael Stewart labelled Fashion Sakala's Rangers leveller against Celtic as 'wonderful'.
The Light Blues hitman superbly brought the Ibrox men level at Parkhead with a low-drive beyond Joe Hart.
It earned a share of the spoils on derby day and earned the plaudits of pundit Michael Stewart in the Sportscene studio.
Describing the goal, he said: “That is the danger when it is only 1-0.
“Just when Celtic looked as if they were finding a little form in the second half
“Rangers inject the pace into the attack, it’s really good play, one-touch, overload the wide area.
“It’s a wonderful finish from Sakala, he gets around the outside of Kent, the overload is there, bang, first time right in the bottom corner from Sakala.
“It is passed Joe Hart before he can react and get down.”
Hart: 'We dominated'
By Robert Grieve
Rangers fans will insist they deserved to win yesterday, but then Celtic also had chances in the first half after they had taken the lead.
Hoops stopper Joe Hart felt his side 'dominated' their Ibrox rivals.
He said: “I felt like we dominated but they are a hard team to put away.
“They are resilient, they are dangerous on the counter- attack and I think, with our aggressive style of play, if we are not two or three goals ahead people have always got a chance.
“But we stick by those foundations, stick by that way of playing football. It has won us more games than it has drawn us. It is what it is and we have another three big ones coming up.”
Unlucky says Boyd
By Colin Duncan
Kris Boyd reckons the result of the final Old Firm game didn’t matter for Gers, but he still believes they should have won it.
The Premiership’s record goalscorer insisted that Ryan Kent and Fashion Sakala should have converted golden chances.
He said: “Kent’s was an easier chance than the one Jota took to get his goal.
“He has got to score. Anthony Ralston’s body shape is the exact same as Borna Barisic. He has no clue Kent was there.
“It was a great second half for Rangers and they were the better team, but Sakala had a great opportunity to win it.
“His goal was a fantastic finish, but he was unlucky not to get a second. Rangers were very unfortunate not to win.”
Hart breaker
By Robert Grieve
IT was a moment in the match to give their supporters palpitations.
But Celtic’s Hart didn’t skip a beat.
Rangers star Scott Arfield must have thought the shot he had struck from Scott Wright’s cutback was destined for the net.
But there was no ordinary Joe between him and a goal. Joe Hart just isn’t sure how he managed to claw the ball away.
“Look, it is mayhem out there.
“I love playing football, love being in goal and sometimes you do things that you ideally don’t want to do, that you know you are better than.
“And sometimes you do things where your body and your instincts take over.
“I don’t know actually what happened, I just know it stayed out.”
Joe Hart
'Gers kept momentum'
By Colin Duncan
Kris Boyd insisted avoiding defeat was all that mattered for Rangers ahead of their showdown with RB Leipzig on Thursday.
The ex-Gers hitman is convinced it was all about maintaining momentum with the league already out of their reach.
Boyd feels his old side would have been content to avoid any further injury set-backs.
He said: “Thursday is a massive game and the title was over anyway for Rangers. The most important thing was not getting beat. It was vital to leave with no injuries, and hopefully they will have Aaron Ramsey and Kemar Roofe back.
“That little blip after Christmas cost them the league — losing a two-goal lead to Motherwell then losing to Celtic.”
CALMAC LEADS THE WAY
Last but not least for The Hoops - Callum McGregor has been given the title of Player of the Year!
The captain has been a colossal figure in the heart of Ange Postecoglou's side this season.
And he's now been given individual recognition for his efforts too.
The 28-year-old picked up both the players and club POTY award, rounding off the night of awards for the Celts.
Award for Abada
Celtic have named Liel Abada as their Fans Young Player of the Year.
The tricky forward has 15 goals and nine assists to his name so far this season.
Hoops fans voted in the award and named the 20-year-old as their best performing youngster.
His season highlights include a dramatic 90th minute winner against Dundee United in January, and a strike against Rangers the month following. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18429056/celtic-rangers-live-gilmour-lundstram-postecoglou-rod-stewart-old-firm/ | 2022-05-02T15:26:52Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18429056/celtic-rangers-live-gilmour-lundstram-postecoglou-rod-stewart-old-firm/ | true | 3 |
Plus-size queen: I would have won had I been there
WITHOUT ever having to stepped foot inside the Sheraton Hotel, Houston, Texas, Mekelia Miller was able to sway the judges virtually and earn second place in Miss Plus World.
Speaking with Newsday at Eight Street, Barataria, on April 22, 26-year-old Miller boasted that had she been there personally, the title would have undoubtedly been hers.
“Coming into the top five was a major accomplishment. To push pass ladies who were there physically, because I was the only delegate from the Miss Plus World that was virtual and also made it into the top five. To not even be there physically and leave an impact on the judges was great.
“I know I would have been able to connect even better physically, but just to be considered for the top five to rank among the top five with these ladies, was an honour. I knew I would have been able to make a stronger impact physically. The British Virgin Island won. Me saying I would have placed higher is not to take anything away from her success but I do believe that I would have had the competence to take the title if I was there physically.”
Miller and Cara Samlalsingh represented TT in the Miss Plus World under two separate categories. Miller fought for the Miss Plus World title while Samlalsingh competed for Miss World Intercontinental. Both categories had an additional Miss Plus World Intercontinental Humanitarian Ambassador competition, which neither of them won.
The queens were crowned last year to represent TT on March 11 and 12 in Texas. Due to restrictions on visa appointments at the US Embassy, the women were unable to receive their visas in time to compete in person.
Samalalsingh made it to the top 15 but did not advance further. She said competing virtually hindered her advancement. Not new to beauty pageants, Samlalsingh said the virtual experience was strange and exciting.
“It was a very strange and exciting experience. It's the first time I've ever done a virtual competition, which was a little weird for me. You know, because how I sit with you one on one here, it’s difficult, to show people who you really are via camera. It was weird but I enjoyed it though, I must say.”
Asked if she believed her not being judged in person hampered her advancement, Samlalsingh said, “I think so. Because for me, I interact with people better when I can see you, connect with you face to face. You can see the genuineness of my smile. I always tell people, I know what my superpower is; my superpower is I can walk into a room and you'd be having a bad day and all I have to do is smile with you and your mood will automatically change. I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I am such a people person.”
National director, pageant producer and franchise owner of the Miss Plus World TT Adina Pollard-Simon said Miller’s placing is an added boost for her and her passion to showcase full-figured women as the beauty queens they are.
“With plus-size women I will say that (Miller’s second place) gives us a chance and gives other plus-size women who are looking on, the confidence to say okay, if she did it, I can do it too.”
Leading up to the March competition, Pollard-Simon said there were issues regarding financial support from both public and private sector and hopes this will end now that Miller has shown TT is capable of greatness. Having spent her own money to ensure the candidates had what they needed, Pollard-Simon said she hopes financial support will be given in the future, adding, she hopes to be self-sufficient one day.
Since placing second, Miller said she is now focusing on finishing her bachelor’s degree in theatre arts at UWI. She said she received positive feedback from the organisers and is confident that if she is to represent the country again, she will return with the crown.
“Since competing locally, my platform has always been mental health awareness in teens and women. I have had a passion for that sometimes. I believe in mentorship for teens, because we've seen teens lashing out for different reasons and having interesting behaviour. To me it’s more than the issue of the violence in schools, I feel like it's a cry for help in a way because there's something that we may be missing as far as the mental states of these children.”
She said while competing in various pageants locally, she launched her humanitarian platform the Pink Purpose Project. She said this project aimed at spreading mental health awareness is beyond a pageant project, one she will continue well after the glitz and glamour.
After being featured in Newsday's Women's Magazine (WMN) last December, and then placing first runner-up, Miller said she gained overwhelming support.
“It's almost like people needed to see that I could do it and we can make a name for ourselves for them to believe in the vision and see that what we're doing is not a joke, it’s serious.The turnaround was welcomed. It was refreshing and I'm glad we could have changed the hearts of so many.
“The article actually was a major turning point for the perspective and overall view. I got a lot of support following that. We got the support, and after coming second I remember the show ended at 1 am and I just put up one status on Facebook telling everybody “Trinidad and Tobago first runner-up” and over 400 comments later, people were just showering me with congratulations and I was like 'Wow, imagine if I had won!'” | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/05/02/plus-size-queen-i-would-have-won-had-i-been-there/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=plus-size-queen-i-would-have-won-had-i-been-there | 2022-05-02T15:29:50Z | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/05/02/plus-size-queen-i-would-have-won-had-i-been-there/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=plus-size-queen-i-would-have-won-had-i-been-there | true | 1 |
Firefighter killed while trying to rescue mother, child who crashed into a river
BRAXTON COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ/Gray News) – Three people were killed after a car crashed into a river in West Virginia Sunday afternoon.
According to WSAZ, a mother and child were involved in a crash that sent an SUV into the Elk River. Emergency officials said both people drowned in the accident.
A firefighter who went into the river in an attempt to rescue the mother and child also died.
Chief Deputy Robbie Bailey said the firefighter “experienced some complications and ended up going under.”
“Any death is tragic, so knowing we have one death, now two deaths, now three,” Bailey said.
WSAZ reports a deputy and state trooper were able to pull one of the victims from the water.
They were also able to rescue another person who was attempting to locate victims but had begun to go under. That individual is expected to be OK.

MIAMI, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Public Access Lagoons™ projects that Crystal Lagoons is developing around the world could reduce 14 million tons in CO2 emissions, equivalent to 40% of the carbon footprint of the tourism and transportation industries. Through its contribution to furthering carbon neutrality in different economic and social activities this has led the so-called PAL™ developments to be recognized as "Champion of Champions" in the 2022 version of the "Green World Awards" in Abu Dhabi.
The multinational water innovation company won both the award in the Carbon Reduction category and the highest distinction in these British sustainable awards, beating the winners of the categories of Climate Change, Water and Energy Efficiency, Innovation and others, as well as the more than 500 entries received by the organization.
PAL™ projects revolutionize cities by bringing beach life with turquoise waters and white sands to urban areas and reducing by about 50% the number of car journeys and flights to coastal destinations and natural beaches that, globally, total about 35 million tons of CO2 per year.
The "Green World Awards" recognize the countries, companies and organizations that contribute the most to protecting the ecosystem and are sponsored by reputable British environmental organizations.
The PAL™ developments were selected for their pro-environmental concept and the prize was awarded at Abu Dhabi. The "Champion of Champions" award is not the first accolade to be bestowed on PAL™ projects. The model previously received the Green Apple Award at the Palace of Westminster in London.
A key factor in the nomination was the groundbreaking nature of these complexes, which bring beach life to the cities through large crystalline lagoons suitable for swimming and water sports, surrounded by white sandy beaches and diverse infrastructure of services and entertainment.
The PAL™ developments reduce commuting and generate carbon footprint savings equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 2.3 billion homes, as they allow people to access the beach by walking, cycling, using public transportation or short car trips.
Crystal Lagoons already has 810 PAL™ developments in various stages of development around the world. Among the most notable agreements are in: United States (5 PAL™ projects in Orlando and 4 in Atlanta), Korea (30 PAL™ projects), Pakistan (15 PAL™ complexes), Colombia (13 PAL™ projects) and Central America (11 PAL™ developments).

TDOT rolls out plan to improve roads
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) announced a new plan to address the state’s roads on Monday.
TDOT’s new approach to pothole repair and prevention was developed in response to this year’s exceptionally cold and wet winter months that is believed to be the main cause of the roads’ deterioration.
“This has been one of the worst years we’ve seen for potholes,” said TDOT Interim Commissioner Joe Galbato. “It’s what we call a perfect storm with the extreme winter weather, regular wear and tear, and pavement coincidentally at the end of its life. We want everyone to know we’re taking steps to prevent this in the future.”
Following a statewide analysis, TDOT is focusing on a number of locations that experts believe will not make it through another winter.
- Briley Parkway, Davidson County (from McGavock Pike to I-65)
- I-40, Davidson County (from US 70 to Charlotte Pike)
- I-40, Wilson County (from east of 840 to east of US 70 / east of US 70 to Smith Co. line)
- I-40, Smith County (from Wilson County line to east of SR 53)
- I-24, Rutherford County (from Medical Center Parkway to Stones River)
- I-24, Rutherford and Bedford Counties (from east of Epps Mill to Coffee Co. line)
- I-65, Robertson County (from Sumner Co. line to Honey Run Creek Bridge)
- I-65, Maury County (from Marshall Co. line to near SR 99)
- I-40, Cheatham County (from Williamson Co. line to Davidson Co. line)
The new approach will prioritize these areas before the extreme weather returns and crews will work mostly during the night to reduce their impact on traffic, according to the release.
TDOT still encourages motorists to notify them of any damage on the roads, using their maintenance request form.

In many ways, the Detroit Lions‘ 2022 NFL draft seems to have been with the the future in mind. Such could be proven to be the case when the team traded up for wideout Jameson Williams.
Williams, recovering off an ACL injury, may or may not be ready to play right away in 2022. Whether he is or not doesn’t seem to matter for the Lions, as the team is building for 2023 and beyond with his selection. That’s just what a draft expert sees as the case.
The latest Lions news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Lions newsletter here!
ESPN Insider and draft expert Todd McShay revealed his favorite pick for every team in the draft this year. When it came to the Lions, naturally, the choice was Williams given his explosion and dominance at the wideout position on the field. McShay loved Detroit’s move to stack defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson along with Williams in round one given both were elite players in the 2022 class.
What he seemed to love the most, though, was the possibility of Detroit pairing Williams with his former college quarterback Bryce Young in the 2023 NFL draft. It’s something McShay sees as a looming possibility to think about in the future.
“And who knows? Maybe the Lions are back atop the board next April and can reunite Williams with his 2021 quarterback at Alabama, Bryce Young. They did plenty of damage together. Williams piled up 1.572 receiving yards and 15 touchdown catches last season,” McShay wrote in the piece.
While Williams could certainly help the 2022 Lions, the team could be looking forward to him in 2023 thanks to this variable. The pairing of Young and Williams was great in college, and could be even more explosive in the pros. That’s just what McShay seems to see already, which could contribute to his love of the Williams pick even more.
Williams’ College Stats & Highlights
It might not be a stretch at all to proclaim Williams one of the top players in the NFL draft like many have done since the pick took place. In college he showed a knack for speed and the big play. A big-time transfer from Ohio State, Williams came to the Crimson Tide after 266 yards and 3 touchdowns and set the SEC on fire in 2021. Williams racked up 1,572 yards and 15 scores en-route to being one of the top players in college football. An ACL injury in the National Title game hurt Williams’ chances of being a top five pick, but there would have been a chance if not for that. The tape shows a speedy player who has afterburners:
Obviously, speed is the key portion of the game for Williams, so if he can be healthy, that would be a big plus for the Lions and help them sooner rather than later on the offensive side of the ball. Him catching deep balls from whatever quarterback is a fantasy that fans will now get to live out.
Lions’ 2023 Plan Could Revolve Around Quarterback Pick
The Lions didn’t select a quarterback in 2022 after being rumored to be interested in the position through the process. The team didn’t so much as add a player to the mix from outside the building this offseason, re-signing Tim Boyle as well as David Blough. They didn’t invite an undrafted free agent rookie to camp as an arm, either, up to this point. All of this could show how committed the Lions are to 2023 at the position. Detroit will have a pair of first-round picks once again, and could be able to maneuver around for the quarterback they like. In Young as well as Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, the team could have a couple potential top answers lurking that make plenty of sense.
Many wanted to see the Lions go all-in at quarterback next year, and for those people, this 2022 draft was a win. Detroit got an elite wideout and boosted up the defense in a major way.

Jonny Bell celebrates 'incredible' Lisnagarvey treble after Irish Cup triumph
Last updated on .From the section Hockey
Lisnagarvey defender Jonny Bell says it feels "surreal" after an Irish Cup triumph at the weekend completed a domestic treble.
The Ulster club had already won the EY Hockey League and EY Champions Trophy before beating Monkstown 3-1 in Saturday's final at Belfield.
"It's been an incredible season," said the former Ireland international.
"To win one national trophy in a season in an achievement but to win three is very, very special."
Andy Williamson, Harry Morris and Ben Nelson were on target for Garvey as they won the Irish Cup for a record 25th time.
Indeed, their haul could expand to five titles as they still have Ulster's Kirk Cup and a European campaign to come in June.
"Everyone's just over the moon to bring the Irish Cup home as it's one that the club really cherishes," former Ireland international Bell told Radio Ulster's Sportsound Extra Time.
"The treble has never been done since the establishment of the Irish Hockey League - it's a fantastic feeling and it is still a bit surreal.
"It comes down to hard work within the team and coaching staff and beyond that it's the youth system.
"Each year quality young players are coming through and stepping into the first XI. That's what the success is built on while everyone at the club can feel a part of what has been achieved."

However, after a 1,100 kilometre journey, it was discovered that the looted equipment had been locked remotely by the Ukrainians, rendering it inoperative.
“When the invaders drove the stolen harvesters to Chechnya, they realized that they could not even turn them on, because the harvesters were locked remotely,” the source told CNN.
Two combine harvesters, worth US$300,000 each, and a tractor and a seeder were initially seized, according to a source at the scene.
Over the next few weeks in Melitopol, the remaining 27 pieces of farm machinery were stolen, totalling nearly $US5 million worth of looted goods.

Ukraine’s deputy agriculture minister announced on Saturday that Russian forces stole “several hundred thousand tonnes” of grain in the areas they occupy.
Speaking to Ukrainian national TV, Taras Vysotskiy expressed concern that most of what he said was 1.5 million tonnes of grain stored in occupied territory could also be stolen by Russian forces.
Ukraine’s foreign ministry accused Russia on Thursday of stealing grain in territory occupied during the invasion, an act it said increased the threat to global food security.
In a video posted by Melitopol’s mayor, a convoy of trucks allegedly loaded with grain was seen leaving the city.
“We have clear evidence that they unloaded grain from the Melitopol city elevator,” the mayor told CNN. “They robbed the elevator along with private farms.”

Ajay Mathur, Director General, Indian Solar Alliance, has said the world would need 475 GW of renewable energy capacity to supply green electricity to the 260 GW of electrolyser that are projected to be in operation by 2029.
Speaking at Windergy 2022, a conference-cum-expo even of the wind industry that was held in New Delhi between April 27 and 29, Mathur observed that the world today has 300 MW of electroysers. On the basis of orders placed, he said that this number would rise to 18 GW by 2026. “But it doesn’t end here,” said Mathur, an energy who has previously headed The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
“By last month, the announced electrolyser project pipeline had reached over 260 GW, with production aimed till 2029,” he said, adding that the electrolyser manufacturers that he was in touch with had said that there would be more orders.
“This implies that 475 GW of wind and solar capacity would be needed, which is one-third the total wind and solar installed capacity that exists in the world today,” Mathur said.
He sees a “convergence” of renewable energy and green hydrogen production. “We, at ISA, are working towards making this happen,” he said.
He said that India could produce green hydrogen and, using green hydrogen produce green ammonia, and export to Europe, where there is a big demand.
Other speakers at Windergy 2022 spoke about how green hydrogen could power renewable energy. Parag Sharma, Founder CEO of O2 Power, a renewable energy company, observed that India consumes about 5-6 million tonnes of hydrogen, all of which could be replaced by green hydrogen. One mt of green hydrogen would need 20 GW of renewable energy capacity, Sharma said.

Architect Carles Oliver rehabbed an old, empty building in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, over the course of three years for just over $21,000. While the majority of the budget went towards improving energy efficiency, such as installing roof insulation, the rest was spent on removing layers of architecture to reveal the original construction, including the stone-clad walls and wooden ceilings. | https://www.dwell.com/@federica | 2022-05-02T15:50:46Z | https://www.dwell.com/@federica | true | null |
The floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and windows were the most expensive line item in the renovation. “The house would simply not be the same without them,” says architect Miguel Rivera. “When you are in the living area with the doors open, it creates one large indoor/outdoor space that is simply stunning.” Just beyond the kitchen, a bookcase in the hallway is painted to appear red from one side and gray from the other. | https://www.dwell.com/@gavazz | 2022-05-02T15:55:42Z | https://www.dwell.com/@gavazz | false | null |

What happens if I get COVID-19 while traveling?
Depending on your destination, it could result in an unexpected change in plans.
What happens if I get COVID-19 while traveling?
Depending on your destination, it could result in an unexpected change in plans, such as being required to stay isolated in a hotel.
It’s why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you have backup plans ready if you’re traveling abroad. You might have to stay longer than planned if you test positive.
In some places, you won’t be able to board flights until you test negative. In others, you might also be required to stay in a quarantine facility.
Since results from a PCR test can remain positive for weeks after an infection, those who have had COVID-19 might have to get documentation from a doctor or health authorities saying they’ve recovered. Some travel only requires an antigen test.
If you end up needing medical treatment, check with your embassy for suggested health care providers. Keep in mind that some countries still have overwhelmed health care systems due to the pandemic.
Plan time for recovery since some countries — including the U.S. — require a negative test for reentry. Exceptions to this policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, says the CDC.
It also helps to be financially prepared to pay unexpected bills. While it varies country to country, travelers are often responsible for costs associated with any isolation or medical treatments needed.
Travel companies suggest getting insurance that will cover the cost of treatment, isolation or rescheduled travel plans. Some countries require that you have insurance before you’re allowed to enter.

One of UK’s most wanted men arrested at Lisbon airport with fraudulent passport
One of the UK’s most wanted men has been arrested after trying to fly to Portugal using a fraudulent passport.
Alex Male, 29, of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, is alleged to have been a regional distributor of class A drugs across the south west of England, buying and selling them using an EncroChat encrypted communications network.
He was detained at Lisbon Airport on Saturday after arriving on a flight from Turkey where he had been refused entry, according to the National Crime Agency (NCA), which added Male to its most wanted appeal in January.
NCA international liaison officer Phil Robinson said: “Male naively believed he could travel across international borders using fraudulent documentation and remain undetected by law enforcement.
“But he underestimated the vigilance and expertise of the Turkish border police, which enabled the Portuguese authorities to act.
“Any arrest of a fugitive is a fantastic result, even more so since Male had only recently been added to our most wanted list.
“He is wanted in connection with dangerous crimes, which have a devastating impact on communities, so I’m delighted he has been caught.
“We continue to work with our international partners to close the net around fugitives, no matter where they are.”
Male is accused of conspiracy to supply cocaine and ketamine, money laundering and conspiracy to acquire a firearm as part of his drug dealing activity between April and June 2020.
He had been on the run after failing to follow to the bail restrictions imposed following his arrest.
He was previously on the run in the Marbella area of Spain before moving to Portugal.
Male remains in custody and will now face extradition proceedings.
Detective Inspector Adrian Hawkins of the South West regional organised crime unit (SW ROCU) said: “Male will now be returned to the criminal justice system in the UK to face the charges he ran away from.
“This is an example of international law enforcement working together to ensure justice can be done and demonstrating there is nowhere safe to hide.”

David Cretney: Which gig did you enjoy most?
Subscribe newsletter
This column first appeared in last week’s Isle of Man Examiner
My favourite decade for music is the 1970s. I have a theory that when you reach your mid-teenage years equates to your personal favourite decade, but no science to prove it.
On Easter Monday I co-hosted a ‘Seventies Spectacular’ on Manx Radio with Andy Wint between 5pm and 7pm and got some great feedback at the time and since.
I’ve long felt that the 70s justifies a radio show in its own merits because not only was there so much great music to choose from but the variation of different types is more than any other decade.
We have glam rock, singer-songwriters, pop, disco, reggae, rock, soul, punk rock and more. Hopefully we can do it all again sometime soon.
One topic that kept coming up and is associated with many decades was the Palace Lido.
Those who contacted the show remembered various gigs and personalities Jimmy Gillespie, Paul Gaskell, Stu Lowe, Malcolm Crellin, Freddy Bell and Pam Caple amongst others.
Pam’s Bar was always very busy and I think I remember the ‘party five’ large containers of beer.
Freddy was one of the bouncers at the Lido and other venues and I can recall being bounced out of the place by him for getting a bit carried away (no pun intended) but completely true.
Jimmy was associated with the venue as manager for a long time and I think it was after a visit to Scotland that he proposed one of the very successful reinvention’s.
It became the HiTec laser disco opening on May 26, 1984, it went on to win the regional heat and national title of Royal Gold Discotheque of the year 1986 and featured on the TV show ‘The Hit Man and Her’ in 1989.
It had nine bars and held 6,000 people and Stu suggests even more attended for the Rolling Stones.
I think we were very fortunate in the 1970s that with all the visitors on top of the local music lovers we were able to see all the top bands of the day on a Sunday night at the Lido.
A big music fan and friend of many, Brian Callow, suggested to all of us who enjoyed the bands in the 1970s: ‘What was your favourite gig in the island?’
Let’s have some feedback!
Email [email protected], phone/text 333974 or write to 12 Manor Drive, Douglas.
Here’s a few to get your memories going.
At the Lido… Rolling Stones 1964, Kinks 1965/66, Small Faces 1966, The Who 1966/67, Jeff Beck Group 1967, Pink Floyd 1967, Cream 1967 into the seventies Judas Priest 1972, The Sweet 1972/73/74/75, Slade 1972/73 (twice!), Hawkwind 1973, 10cc 1973/74, Queen 1974, Mott the Hoople 1974, Edgar Broughton Band 1974, Thin Lizzy 1975, T Rex 1975, Curved Air 1975, Chuck Berry 1976 (pictured above),AC/DC 1976, Procul Harem 1976, Kursaal Flyers 1977, Gillan 1979, Generation X 1979 and into the 1980s Uriah Heep 1982/92, Girlschool 1983, Motorhead 1984,Dr Feelgood 1987/90, Rory Gallagher 1990 and I’m sure I will have missed some so please let me know!
Predictable conversations amuse me. I don’t often get a taxi but when I do I will inevitably ask the driver ‘are you busy tonight?’, ‘What time are you working till?’
I’m sure they must be asked the same thing by others every night.
I recently got a taxi home with a very friendly driver and was trying to work out where he came from and guessed Italy.
I was wrong he’s been resident for several years and comes from Greece. A bit like Shirley Valentine (great film) in reverse.
When I go out and meet friends of a similar age it’s about ‘how are you?’
Notes are often compared about each other’s health.
I’m often asked whether I’m ‘enjoying’ retirement and my stock answer is as long as I can get out for a walk with the dogs most days somewhere around the island, I’m fine.
DAYTIME TV
I would hate to be stuck in the house just watching daytime TV, much as I enjoy ‘Homes Under The Hammer’ or ‘American Pickers’.
Finally when I was a Tynwald member (and even now to a limited extent) I would often be stopped with ‘I don’t want to bother you whilst you’re out but...’
It never bothered me as I’m a people person. I once did the same thing in reverse to a doctor friend.
We were at a sports dinner and I went up to him and said ‘I don’t want to bother you whilst your out but could you look at this spot on my neck?’
I’m sure they must expect similar conversations during their ‘leisure’ time.
I guess it’s because I’m a bit reluctant to accept my own mortality but am I alone in thinking we are bombarded by all sectors of the media in relation to funerals, wills, life insurance and so on?
For those people who are house-bound and whose pleasure is watching TV they must get a bit fed up with the repeated ‘special offers’ in this area.
Of course it’s sensible to plan ahead for the inevitable but I guess it’s an easy link for the providers of such services.
My dad became aware a few weeks before his death that the time was imminent.
He had not updated his will in many years and by that time his health prevented alteration so it caused him some distress.
I had been told by the specialist a little while before of his prognosis but had chosen not to tell my dad so as not to cause him unnecessary concern but in the end the reverse applied.
We all should have a will completed just for certainty when the time comes, but I haven’t despite the fact that when my dad died and I bought a plot for his burial I bought the adjacent one for the future.
I also had a concern about organ donation but after hearing first hand from the mum of a young boy who lost his life in an accident and who went on to help others I changed my mind.
The law has since been amended in as much as if you are not prepared to donate you must opt out.
The same applies in relation to choosing the right to die.
At least twice when I was in the House of Keys a vote was carried to not even discuss the matter in committee.
I have always voted for such discussion and, with adequate protection in law to avoid any abuse, have always supported the right to choose.
A private members bill from Dr Alex Allinson MHK is currently being consulted on to bring laws on our island to provide for a properly structured provision for those who wish it with all the protections needed to prevent abuse.
It is vital that no one would feel bullied or under an obligation to participate because they were made to feel a burden on those closest to them.
Surely those of sound mind who wish to make such a personal choice for future circumstances affecting them are entitled to compassion and proper consideration and approval of appropriate legislation.

Covid: Gimbe, in the last week the contagion curve starts to go down – Healthcare
In the last week “the curve has started to go down again. We hope that now with the good weather the situation will improve further as we have seen in previous years”. Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundationwho spoke to the microphones of the broadcast “Italy has awakened” on Radio Cusano Campus.
Cartabellotta specifies that “this is a virus which not only affects the respiratory system, the fact that there is also the Long Covid, makes it better not to take it than to take it, even when you are vaccinated and your life is less likely. “The next autumn-winter will be, for the president of the Gimbe Foundation,” the test case for a number of reasons. There are 8 million people without a booster dose and we do not know what kind of variant we will be dealing with – he clarifies – fourth doses something is starting to move but the numbers are really very very low “.
For the president it is necessary to change the organizational mode, using direct call. On the fourth dose for everyone, “at the moment no one can say – he declares – we have to wait for the data”, concludes Cartabellotta.

The Taliban’s reclusive supreme leader in Afghanistan hailed the militant Islamist group’s “victory” and successful takeover of the war-torn country from a U.S.-backed government in a rare public speech over the weekend, roughly eight months after full withdrawal of the last American and allied troops left the country.
“Congratulations on this victory, freedom and success,” Hibatullah Akhundzada told thousands of worshipers gathered Sunday to mark the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.
A Voice of America report on the speech said it took place at the central mosque in Kandahar, Afghanistan’s second-largest city, which is known as the Taliban’s birthplace and de facto power center.
The Taliban appointed Mr. Akhundzada as the group’s supreme leader in 2016 after a U.S. drone strike had killed his predecessor, Mullah Mansour Akhtar. Agence-France Presse has reported that the new Taliban chief at one point secured a pledge of loyalty from al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who called him “the emir of the faithful.”
Mr. Akhundzada rarely appears in public. Sunday’s speech in Kandahar was his first before a large audience since the Taliban took control of cities across Afghanistan following the full withdrawal of American forces last August after a 20-year-long U.S. occupation of the country.
Voice of America (VOA) reported that Taliban security operatives confined journalists, including the crew of the official Afghan television, to a corner of the mosque where the Taliban head was speaking on Sunday and did not allow reporters to approach the supreme leader.

An eyewitness told VOA, a U.S. government-backed news organization, that the compound was heavily guarded, with machine-gun positions on the roof of the mosque around the dome and under construction towers next to the building.
A large number of Taliban soldiers were deployed in and outside of the house of worship and Russian-made MI-17 helicopters and a Cessna aircraft hovered over the mosque when Mr. Akhundzada was delivering his speech, VOA reported. | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/may/2/reclusive-taliban-supreme-leader-hails-victory-spe/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | 2022-05-02T16:18:13Z | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/may/2/reclusive-taliban-supreme-leader-hails-victory-spe/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | false | 1 |
Liverpool’s performance in the 1-0 win against Newcastle United was enough to earn two Reds a place in a Premier League team of the week.
Writing for BBC Sport, Garth Crooks selected the duo from Jurgen Klopp’s side and first up was Virgil van Dijk: ‘Another clean sheet and another enjoyable day at the office for Van Dijk. I thought this was an extraordinary performance by Liverpool.
‘Having played Villareal in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night, travelling to Newcastle for a 12:30pm kick-off at St James Park three days later and coming away with a victory – bearing in mind the form Newcastle have been in – was outstanding’.
Next up for the 64-year-old was Naby Keita: ‘James Milner’s challenge for the ball with Newcastle defender Fabian Schar led to Naby Keita’s superbly taken goal which took the Reds back to the top of the table for a short while.
‘There was no doubt in my mind, or Andre Marriner’s mind for that matter, that Milner got to the ball first. It was a crisp tackle and perfectly judged by the referee.
‘Keita has found himself sharing the defensive midfield role with Thiago who has also been playing particularly well lately. Both men it would appear can be relied upon to do what is needed to get a result when it matters’.
The pair were examples of the manager wanting to rotate the side to keep legs fresh but also not wanting to change too much, in order to keep structure and rhythm to the team.
In our No.4, there’s no bigger credit to his comeback from injury and importance to the team than the fact he was asked to play from the start yet again.
As with our Guinean midfielder, he keeps taking every chance that’s handed to him and few would argue he deserves to start in any of the gigantic games coming up this month. | https://www.empireofthekop.com/2022/05/02/two-liverpool-players-make-premier-league-team-of-the-week-after-impressive-performances-against-newcastle-united/ | 2022-05-02T16:18:26Z | https://www.empireofthekop.com/2022/05/02/two-liverpool-players-make-premier-league-team-of-the-week-after-impressive-performances-against-newcastle-united/ | true | 1 |
Recently the results of the EU-China trade for the first quarter of 2022 came out and scored an impressive 15.3% growth and yet the EU media and policy makers remained mute. Why is that so?
Obviously, the world economy has been hit hard by an explosive mix of the war in Ukraine coupled with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and this kind of trade growth is perceived as “nothing” more than a slim glimmer of hope for the EU economy that is going down the grotesque path of over-inflation, plentiful energy crises and consequently Europeans’ impoverishment? A sane political analyst would thus anticipate at least a press release from the European Commission on this double digit growth creating some hope to the Europeans by showing how the EU’s huge trading partner, China, still remains EU’s powerful crutch to move on with a hope for prosperity, eventually.
But no, this didn’t happen in Brussels or elsewhere, simply because the EU leaders have been increasingly careless these days with their gigantic trading partner. And yes, one might say that the EU leadership is super busy sanctioning Russia, in numerous stages that we have lost count in order to keep our interest going. Nevertheless, an effective EU means tackling the diplomacy and security issues of the war in your neighbourhood while at the same time looking after your important trading partner, noticing the growth of the trade relations and nurturing them further up. At the end of the day it was the EU-China trade relations that grew and not the ones with the US, if one puts aside the small energy aid that Washington supplied the EU with, which won’t last for the EU to keep the lights switched on for a month if Putin shuts pulls the plug.
Another positive news in the China-EU relations that wasn’t picked up by the EU media’s radar was clearly also the fact that China recently adhered to two ILO Conventions on forced labour. Already, the ILO celebrated that as big news for human rights. But the EU left that unnoticed, and that is really an oxymoron given the EU’s previous strict criticism against China on human rights. The ILO news is already a significant step forward from the Chinese side that should have brought the two sides closer already as it relates to the discourse on human rights.
Instead, the EU and the world prefer to be more and more critical of China these days for the strict COVID-19 lockdowns in major Chinese cities. And indeed, the lockdowns in China are strict but for the sake of fairness let’s go back for a minute to 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic, shall we? The world was also shocked at that time and super critical of China’s strong lockdown, while the EU for instance was taking it easy. However, it was also China back then that contained and scrapped the virus, leading Wuhan and other parts of China to go back to normality and growth within months, while the EU struggled for years with a plethora of back to back pandemic waves, surge in cases, ample panic and lots of economic decadence.
So, let’s get this right and factual. China’s strict lockdowns at the beginning of the pandemic proved to be successful whereas the EU’s lockdowns didn’t. Would it be then daring for someone to think that perhaps China takes the pandemic and its impact more seriously than the rest of the world? Could it be that their pandemic analysts, who proved to be right before, forecast now a new ultra strong COVID-19 pandemic wave that could bring the world down to its knees, in combination with the war in Ukraine etc.?
The above questions are rhetorical and when someone rushes to discard the odds of the above prospects, then either he plays God through media hype or He is.
The point of this article in sought of a balanced viewpoint on EU’s relations with China is to note that in the very turbulent times humanity faces whereby the biggest war conflict in Europe after World War II lingers, unprecedented inflation impoverishes people and nobody knows how on earth we will be able to turn on the heating in the coming winter, our good tax-free eurocrats must manage well all that and simultaneously must make time to look after the relations with the gigantic trade partners like China.
If the EU jumps below the bar on nurturing trade growth with China right now, then the darkest pop scenarios for a brand new global economic crisis at the end of this year might come true after all, but then Brussels should also shoulder its share of responsibility for neglecting trade relations whatsoever. | https://europeansting.com/2022/05/02/why-doesnt-the-eu-notice-the-new-double-digit-growth-of-eu-china-trade/ | 2022-05-02T16:19:18Z | https://europeansting.com/2022/05/02/why-doesnt-the-eu-notice-the-new-double-digit-growth-of-eu-china-trade/ | false | 1 |

Floyd Mayweather Jr. became the most recent celebrity to tattoo his name on Funky Matas' back.
Matas is a social media influencer who has also received tattoos from Mike Tyson, Usain Bolt, Will Smith, Gerard Butler, Steve-O, Michael J. Fox, Elijah Wood, Christopher Lloyd, Chris Rock, Tara Reid, Tony Hawk, Rob Schneider, and Travis Barker. In total, he has collected over 300 signatures.
TMZ reported that Mayweather tattooed the influencer after being approached at a celebrity basketball game in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Mayweather lives.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. will return to the ring this year
Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired from boxing with a record of 50-0 in 2018. However, he has stepped back into the ring for two exhibition matches so far and will be returning for a third this year.
On May 14, 2022, Mayweather will step into the ring to face 'Dangerous' Don Moore, a former sparring partner. The fight will be held in Dubai as part of an exhibition card which also features UFC legend Anderson Silva.
Don Moore is technically undefeated but his career was brief and sporadic. During his career, Moore did not face a high-level of opposition. By fighting a sparring partner such as Moore, Mayweather will be able to control the fight and put on a demonstration of technical skill while avoiding the risk of injury or loss.
'The Global Titan Fight Series' is the most recent in a series of business ventures organized by Floyd Mayweather and pushed on his social media channels. After retiring from the ring originally in 2015, Mayweather returned for a 50th bout with UFC superstar Conor McGregor in 2017. He also fought Youtube star Logan Paul in 2021. On top of his boxing, Mayweather has also appeared on 'Dancing with the Stars' and even wrestled The Big Show in WWE back in 2008.
Floyd Mayweather's business ventures include a strip club called Girl Collection and Mayweather Promotions, his boxing promotional company. Recently, Mayweather has been pushing an NFT known as Mayweverse. He also created and released an NFT souvenir specifically for the upcoming exhibition bout with Don Moore. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pro-boxing/news-boxing-news-floyd-mayweather-tattoos-funky-matas-back | 2022-05-02T16:24:31Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pro-boxing/news-boxing-news-floyd-mayweather-tattoos-funky-matas-back | false | 1 |
How Great Yarmouth's market has been at heart of town life
- Credit: Colin Tooke
As Great Yarmouth's £4.7m new market project place gathers pace with traders moving in, local historian Colin Tooke looks at the site's history.
The market place was the centre of the medieval town.
It was the focal point where the town's population met to trade, buy and sell fresh produce on market days, assemble for celebrations and to hear proclamations of national events such as wars or coronations.
It was also the place where people were punished in public for minor offences and where the town crier disseminated the latest local news.
The medieval market place was part of a much larger open space which, until the mid-seventeenth century, extended almost the length of the town from the parish church to Friars Lane.
On the west side of the market there was a range of shops.
The east side was, for many years, occupied by butcher’s shops, an area known as the flesh shambles first recorded in 1551.
All the town’s butchers were required to sell their meat from there and nowhere else in the town.

A large fish market existed in the south-east corner, separated from the main market by iron railings.
The fish market was rebuilt in 1844 and fish were not allowed to be sold anywhere else on the market, a rule that still applied even after the fish market was closed in 1869.
The market was fully paved by the middle of the seventeenth century.
A market cross had existed from at least the fourteenth century.
At the cross, the town crier rang his bell to summon the inhabitants to hear the latest news.
People were punished in the market place and near the cross were the stocks and the pillory.
Here bakers, brewers and butchers were among the traders who could be punished for supplying inferior goods as were residents who had committed minor crimes such as slander.
A few hours in the stocks allowed the public to express their opinions to the unfortunate person in them.
The pillory was removed in 1729 and the stocks were last used in 1816.
At times of public celebrations the market place became the scene of great rejoicing, the celebrations often including roasting bullocks followed by fireworks displays.
The last time a bullock was roasted in the market was in 1821 to celebrate the coronation of King George IV.
In June 1953, the coronation service of Queen Elizabeth II was broadcast from a public address system installed in the market place.
In 1985 large crowds gathered in the market place to see Queen Elizabeth II walk through during her official visit to the town.
Wednesdays and Saturdays have always been the traditional market days.
At one time an ancient privilege allowed any freeman of the town and any inhabitant of the village of Ormesby to trade on the market without payment but these privileges were discontinued early in the nineteenth century.
The two market days continued to be popular and sell a diverse range of goods with up to one hundred stalls, in three ranks, filling the market place from one end to the other.
This continued until the 1990s after which there was a great reduction in the number of stalls.
The first chip stalls appeared in 1902 and were soon joined by tripe, shellfish, jellied eel and tea stalls.
Until the 1970s nothing permanent was allowed on the market, all stalls having to be removed each Saturday night.
Fairs were originally held to showcase goods not usually available locally, traders coming from afar to sell to local merchants.
These fairs were always held in the market place. Annual fairs have been held in the town since a charter was granted by Charles II in 1684.
In 1902 tram lines were laid in the roadway on the west and south sides of the market for a public transport system that lasted until 1933.
As vehicular traffic increased it became necessary to introduce a one way system in 1950.
In 1982 the size of the market was reduced when a new road, called the Market Relief Road, was built to join Fullers Hill with a new Temple Road.
In 1988 the whole area was pedestrianised.
A covered section, to accommodate 36 six-day stalls under a double-cross shaped canopy, was built towards the southern end of the market.
The new look market was officially opened in September 1995.
What's happening now?
In April 2021 work started on a new £4.7m market place a stone's throw from the current market area.
Last month the first trader moved in and in a 'soft opening' other traders will be opening their stalls in the next few days and weeks.
The move has caused some controversy with some stall holders not relocating to the new structure – including Barrie’s Tea Stall and Brewer’s Chips – ending years of tradition in the town centre.
The new covered market will have 26 main stalls, alongside two kiosks and spaces for pop-up traders.
The borough council says the new market is "lighter, brighter, more spacious, more accessible and more environmentally friendly" than the current market area.
To help promote the market traders a Facebook page has been launched with an eye on what individual stalls offer - search for Great Yarmouth Market Place. | https://www.greatyarmouthmercury.co.uk/lifestyle/heritage/history-of-great-yarmouth-market-place-8935288 | 2022-05-02T16:26:34Z | https://www.greatyarmouthmercury.co.uk/lifestyle/heritage/history-of-great-yarmouth-market-place-8935288 | true | 1 |

Ontario reports no new COVID-19 deaths for first time in a month
Ontario health officials reported no new COVID-19 deaths for the first time since the beginning of April.
The death tally due to the novel coronavirus in Ontario stayed the same on Monday, totaling 12,842 fatalities.
According to the Ministry of Health, there are 1,423 people in hospital with COVID-19, including 211 people in intensive care.
The number of hospitalizations related to COVID-19 has increased slightly from the day before, although the data released Monday is likely an underestimate as not all hospitals provide the ministry with data over the weekend.
With just over 11,800 COVID-19 tests processed in the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health says the province's positivity rate stands at about 14 per cent.
An additional 1,275 lab-confirmed cases of the disease were logged Monday, although that number remains an underestimation due to a lack of PCR testing.
Wastewater data released by Ontario's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table appears to show the concentration of the novel coronavirus cresting in most regions.
“Sometimes it’s a little up, sometimes it’s a little down, sometimes it’s plateauing, and of course this is a massive province so it’s different in different areas in the province,” UHN infectious diseases specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch told CP24 on Monday.
Background
The numbers used in this story are found in the Ontario Ministry of Health's COVID-19 Daily Epidemiologic Summary. The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from what is reported by the province, because local units report figures at different times.

SWEETWATER COUNTY – The 2022 high school softball season is about to come to an end with two weeks remaining in the regular season.
Schools from all over the state of Wyoming are vying for a chance to compete in the state tournament in Gillette on May 19-21 and only have a few games remaining. Only the top four teams from the western and eastern conference can compete for a championship.
Rock Springs High School and Green River High School, which both compete in the western conference, are currently positioned high enough in the rankings to continue on when the regular season comes to an end.
The Lady Tigers protected their home field over the weekend and swept their competition.
On Friday, April 29, Rock Springs used 10 innings to defeat Kelly Walsh High School, 6-5. Junior Ashley Anderson had 10 strikeouts for the Lady Tigers in 10 innings pitched. In the second game of the double header, Rock Springs won, 6-2.
On Saturday, April 30, Rock Springs defeated Natrona County High School, 15-11, in the first game of the double header. The Lady Tigers won, 9-4, in the second.
Just down the road in Green River, the Lady Wolves defeated Natrona County, 11-0, on Friday. Green River scored seven runs in the fourth inning on the way to victory. In the second game of the double header, the Fillies poured 26 runs on the Lady Wolves, defeating the home team, 26-19.
On Saturday, the Lady Wolves went 1-1 against Kelly Walsh. Green River won the first game, 2-1. Kelly Walsh won the second game, 15-10.
It should be noted that the first game of each series is considered the conference game, meaning the squads from Sweetwater County swept the competition in the games that matter most.
Because of that, both teams are currently in the playoff hunt. Rock Springs sits third in the standings with a 9-8 overall record and 4-3 in conference action. Green River sits behind them at fourth in the standings with a 7-11 record on the season and are also 4-3 in conference play.
Below is a look at the complete standings throughout Wyoming.
WEST:
Cody 11-3, 5-0
Kelly Walsh 11-6, 4-3
Rock Springs 9-8, 4-3
Green River 7-11, 4-3
Natrona County 6-11, 2-5

Donated firetrucks heading to Ukraine
A procession of firetrucks left for Ukraine from IJsselmuiden at 00:30 a.m. on Monday. They have been donated to the war-torn country; where they are expected to arrive on Tuesday.
The initiative was started by the IJsselmuiden fire brigade, which has had contact with firefighters in Ukraine for many years. The war has caused a serious shortage of fire equipment in the Eastern-European country.
The corps in IJsselmuiden recently collected five tanker sprayers, one car ladder, and a passenger bus with a motor sprayer trailer. Before that, four trailers containing Dutch fire suits and other material went to Ukraine. The vehicles currently en route are also bringing materials that are ready for use.

The Baltimore Orioles finally showed signs of cranking up the offense.
They might need quite a bit more of the big production when they face the visiting Minnesota Twins on Monday night.
Baltimore is coming off a 9-5 home victory against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, its highest run total of the season. The Orioles will seek their first three-game winning streak of the year in the opener of a four-game series.
The Twins won the last two games of a three-game series at Tampa Bay, giving them wins in nine of their past 10 games. Minnesota routed the Rays 9-3 on Sunday.
"A lot of good at-bats, a lot of good swings, a lot of using the whole field," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said.
Minnesota has scored nine runs in back-to-back games. The Twins have six games of eight or more runs less than a month into the season.
Baltimore will go with Tyler Wells (0-2, 5.54 ERA) to start the series opener. The Orioles have lost each of Wells' four starts so far this season.
Twins starter Chris Paddock (0-2, 3.68 ERA) should be well rested on Monday, as he will pitch for the first time since working 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. He has recorded 13 strikeouts and one walk over 14 2/3 innings in his first three starts.
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde finally saw his team turn up the offense. Most of it came in a six-run sixth inning during the series finale against Boston.
"Got some big hits and played solid defensively," Hyde said. "Hopefully that (big) inning can kind of get us going offensively a little bit."
Baltimore first baseman Tyler Nevin said he has felt good at the plate and he hopes that starts to translate into more hits. He was in his third game in the big leagues this year after being called up from the minors, and his two-run single in the fifth inning put the Orioles ahead for good.
Nevin had been 0-for-7 for Baltimore in 2022 before the hit.
"It's good to get that monkey off the back," Nevin said.
Four Baltimore players had multiple hits Sunday, helping the Orioles improve to 5-4 in home games.
The Orioles clearly need more on the offensive side, particularly with a rotation that has taken its licks.
Minnesota and Baltimore have both played 22 games, with the Twins scoring a total of 94 runs and the Orioles with 71. The Orioles have hit 11 home runs, the second-lowest total in the majors. Minnesota is tied for seventh with 24 long balls.
The Twins will arrive in Baltimore a bit wounded, most notably first baseman Miguel Sano. He exited the Saturday game with a left knee ailment, and the team plans to place him on the injured list, Baldelli said.
With teams having to reduce their rosters from 28 players to 26 on Monday, the Twins also optioned catcher Jose Godoy to Triple-A Saint Paul.
Baltimore designated hitter Trey Mancini was held out of the Sunday contest because of sore ribs.
The Orioles optioned outfielder Ryan McKenna to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday night as part of the roster cutdown. One more player must be removed from the roster on Monday.

Atlanta’s Black women now have access to a new privately-funded $13 million guaranteed income program designed to reduce hardships from living expenses and emergencies.
The In Her Hands initiative from the nonprofits Georgia Resilience and Opportunity Fund, and GiveDirectly, is giving up to $850 per month for two years to more than 650 Black women in Georgia.
It is separate from the city’s publicly-funded guaranteed income program that began accepting applications in January.
The In Her Hands first site is in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward area, and is now accepting applications from women in that neighborhood and Sweet Auburn, according to a news release. Residents have until May 15 to submit applications at www.InHerHands.us.
The program is designed to address Atlanta’s struggle with income inequality. It was inspired by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who said more than 50 years ago that “the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.”
Eligible applicants must be women 18 years or older, and this includes transgender women and non-binary individuals. They must have been impacted by the coronavirus, as well. Their income must also be equal to or below two times the federal poverty line.
Participants will be selected from a lottery, and half of the recipients will receive $850 a month for 24 months. The other half will receive a first lump sum up payment for $4,300, followed by 23 months of $700 payments.
The program’s second site, in Clay, Terrell and Randolph counties in Southwest Georgia, will begin accepting applications in June. The final project site will be announced in May with applications opening in July.
