TOKYO — Coast guard officials searched the office of a Japanese tour boat operator on Monday as part of a criminal investigation into suspicions that professional negligence caused the sinking of a vessel carrying 26 people in a national park last month.
The Kazu 1 sightseeing boat conducted the tour in Shiretoko National Park on the northeastern side of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island, on April 23 despite forecast rough seas and warnings from other tour operators. It made a distress call that afternoon saying it was sinking.
Japan's coast guard said investigators raided locations related to the tour boat operator. NHK public television showed uniformed coast guard officials entering the tour boat operator's office and the house of the boat's captain and said the company president's house was also searched.
Separately, the coast guard planned to use a remote-controlled submersible camera to look inside the sunken boat in hopes of locating bodies possibly trapped inside. The operation was delayed Monday due to bad weather.
The boat carried two crew members and 24 passengers, including two children. Fourteen bodies have been recovered.
The hull of the boat with its name on it was found near Kashuni Falls, where the boat made the distress call. It was sitting on the seabed at a depth of about 115 meters (377 feet).
The operator, Shiretoko Pleasure Cruiser, had two accidents last year, including one that involved the captain of the sunken boat, Noriyuki Toyoda, the transport ministry said earlier.
Seiichi Katsurada, the head of the company, said last week that he approved the trip despite a broken communication device and forecasts of rough weather. The boat also lacked a satellite phone, he said. The crew carried cellphones that had no signals and apparently had to borrow one from a passenger to make an emergency call, the coast guard said.
Katsurada said waters at their home port were calm when the boat departed and the captain could have changed the tour plans if the weather worsened.

Biden, Senator for Delaware for 36 Years, Says No One Has Ever Been Senator for Delaware
President Joe Biden’s gaffes have become so frequent that most of them are hardly surprising anymore. Even by that standard, Monday’s blunder was a doozy.
The president was standing beside First Lady Jill Biden during a celebration at the White House for the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr. He singled out Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton, a Democrat who serves in the Delaware House of Representatives.
“She represents the state of Delaware, by the way,” Biden said. “And I want you to know, she works at the University of Delaware at the Biden Institute. So we call that using a point of personal privilege.”
After recognizing Anton-Wilson, Biden went straight into a history lesson on the state of Delaware. Sadly, he was entirely incorrect in his teaching.
“Now there have not been very many senators from Delaware, it’s a small state,” Biden said. “Matter of fact, there’s never been one, so I want to take advantage of making sure I introduce her.”
Try as one might, it is pretty much impossible to make any sense out of those two sentences.
As far as Biden’s claim there has “never” been a senator from Delaware, this could not be further from the truth.
Delaware was the first state to ratify the United States Constitution in 1787. This means Delaware has elected two senators since the very beginning of the U.S. Senate.
In addition, Biden himself was a Delaware senator for 36 years.
It is possible Biden was attempting to tell some sort of joke about Delaware senators, but if he was, he did not make it very clear. He also never attempted to correct himself or indicate he was joking.
Furthermore, it is unclear how Biden even got on the subject of senators in the first place. Wilson-Anton, the woman he was trying to recognize, is a state representative, not a senator of any sort.

Biden’s glaring mistake on Monday came less than a week after another major gaffe. On Thursday, Biden stumbled through explaining his plan to “accommodate the Russian oligarchs.”

On top of the slurring and stumbling in the above clip, a White House transcript indicated Biden did not even mean to say the words that he said.
In the transcript, the word “accommodate” is crossed out, and the phrase “hold accountable” is added in brackets. Holding someone accountable is often the opposite of accommodating him, but the transcript writer simply shrugged off the mistake as if it were no big deal.
It seems increasingly clear Biden is unwell, and his cognitive state appears to be declining daily. At what point will the Democrats admit this painfully obvious fact?

Kim Kardashian revealed the lengths she went to while transforming into Marilyn Monroe.
Kim wore Marilyn's original 60-year-old dress while walking the 2022 Met Gala red carpet, which kicked off in New York on May 2 with the theme "In America: An Anthology of Fashion." Marilyn wore the Bob Mackie look while famously singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Speaking with Vogue at the event, the SKIMS founder shared that she had to lose 16 pounds in three weeks to be able to fit into the dress. "It was such a challenge," Kim, 41, said. "It was like a role. I was determined to fit."
She told the outlet that she had the dress flown on a private plane from Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in Orlando, Fla. for a fitting at her house.
"The dress was transported by guards and I had to wear gloves to try it on," Kim recalled. "I always thought she was extremely curvy. I imagined I might be smaller in some places where she was bigger and bigger in places where she was smaller. So when it didn't fit me I wanted to cry because it can't be altered at all."
She then detailed her process for losing weigh in time. "I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just eat the cleanest veggies and protein," she said. "I didn't starve myself, but I was so strict."
When it finally fit, she explained, "I wanted to cry tears of joy." Now she's looking forward to eating pizza and donuts back at the hotel, she added in her red carpet interview.
Kim also debuted a blonde hairstyle at the Met Gala, completing her Marilyn makeover. She stepped out with boyfriend Pete Davidson, who was dressed in a suit and sunglasses at the event. He joked to Vogue, "She didn't let me wear my propeller hat but it's fine."
After ascending the steps of the Met, Kim changed out of the original dress and into a replica, according to Vogue.
"I'm extremely respectful to the dress and what it means to American history," the reality star explained. "I would never want to sit in it or eat in it or have any risk of any damage to it and I won't be wearing the kind of body makeup I usually do." She noted, "Everything had to be specifically timed and I had to practice walking up the stairs."
Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Lin-Manuel Miranda are co-chairing this year's star-studded gala, with designer Tom Ford, Instagram's Adam Mosseri and Vogue's Anna Wintour serving as honorary chairs.

NEW YORK — Blazers in knit fabrics, pants with drawstrings or elastic waists, and polo shirts as the new button-down.
Welcome to the post-pandemic dress code for the office.
After working remotely in sweats and yoga pants for two years, many Americans are rethinking their wardrobes to balance comfort and professionalism as offices reopen. They're giving a heave-ho to the structured suits, zip-front pants and pencil skirts they wore before the COVID-19 pandemic and experimenting with new looks. That has retailers and brands rushing to meet workers' fashion needs for the future of work.
"Being comfortable is more important than being super structured," said Kay Martin-Pence, 58, who went back to her Indianapolis office last month in dressy jeans and flowy tops after working remotely in leggings and slippers for two years. "Why feel buttoned up and stiff when I don't have to?"
Before COVID-19, Martin-Pence used to wear dress pants with blazers to the pharmaceutical company where she works. She's gone back to heels, but they're lower, and she says she will never wear dress pants again to the office.
Even before the pandemic, Americans were dressing more casually at work. The time spent in sweats accelerated the shift from "business casual" to "business comfort."
Still, return-to-office dressing remains a social experiment, said Adam Galinsky, a social psychologist at Columbia Business School who coined the term "enclothed cognition," or how what people wear affects how they think.
"My guess is that it will go more casual, but maybe it doesn't," Galinsky said. "People are going to be consciously thinking about: 'Am I wearing the right outfit for being in the office?' They're going to be thinking about what they're doing, the context they're in, and the social comparisons of what others will be doing."
Steve Smith, CEO of outdoor sportswear brand L.L. Bean, said people are stepping out of their "typical uniform" — whatever form that may take.
"They're going to expect more flexible hours, to be able to work in hybrid model, and to be comfortable — as comfortable as they were at home," he said. "Some of the office uniforms, office wardrobes, are shifting and changing. There's no reason why it can't be permanent."
Data from market research firm NPD Group and retailers reflect the shifting trends.
Wire-free bras now represent more than 50% of the total, non-sports bra market in the U.S., reversing a long-term trend, according to NPD. Sales of dressy footwear have been rebounding since 2021, but they're still 34% below 2019 levels and more likely fueled by the return of social occasions, not the office, NPD said. Instead, casual sneakers are now the most common shoes for work.
Clothing rental company Rent the Runway said rentals for blazers were up nearly twofold in February from last year, reflecting a return to offices. But its customers are choosing colorful versions like pastel and fabrics like lightweight tweed, linens and twill. It said "business formal" rentals — traditional workwear like basic sheaths, pencil skirts and blazers — are roughly half of what they were in 2019, said Anushka Salinas, president and chief operating officer.
Stitch Fix, a personal shopping and styling service, noted men are increasingly choosing options like hiking and golf pants for the office. For the first three months of the year, revenue for that type of clothing was up nearly threefold over a year ago.
Polo shirts have replaced the collared button-down for men, and there's strong demand for pull-on pants, the company said. The ratio of elastic-waist work pants to those with buttons or zippers on Stitch Fix was one to one in 2019; now it's three to one.
Other workers, however, are feeling excited about dressing up again.
Emily Kirchner, 42, of Stevensville, Michigan, who works in communications for a major appliance manufacturer, said she's investing more in her wardrobe as she returns to the office. She used to wear tunic tops and leggings from Stitch Fix in the pre-pandemic days. Now, she's turning to the service for high-end jeans, blouses and blazers.
"It's kind of fun to dress up," said Kirchner, who had a baby early in the pandemic and wants to wear clothes that don't make her look like what she calls a "frumpy mom." "It's kind of like that back-to-school feeling."
Retailers had to pivot to Americans' changing demands throughout the pandemic and now again with many returning to offices. Upscale department store Nordstrom, for example, has opened women's denim shops to highlight its expanded selection as it sees more women wearing jeans to work.
Even Ministry of Supply, a company looking to make work clothing as comfortable as exercise wear, had to make big changes. When the pandemic hit, it was stuck with piles of tailored pants and jackets in performance fabrics deemed irrelevant for a remote workforce.
The Boston-based company started by graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology quickly reengineered the items, sticking in elastic waistbands and removing zippers. It also slimmed down hems on pant suits to give them "sneaker'' cuts.
As workers return to the office, Ministry of Supply is keeping those relaxed looks and sneaker cuts and has permanently eliminated zippers — all its pants have elastic waistbands or drawstrings. It's also reinventing its tailored suit.
"The new challenge is: How do I look presentable when I am in person without sacrificing comfort?" said Gihan Amarasiriwardena, co-founder and president.
The 200-year-old haberdashery Brooks Brothers had a bigger challenge — it never followed the casual office attire trend several years ago like its rivals. Under a new owner and CEO Ken Ohashi, the company has found success in offering relaxed styles in a post-bankruptcy reinvention.
Now, 45% of its offerings are casual sportwear like sweaters and polo shirts. Before the pandemic, that figure was 25%, Ohashi said.
He said dress shirts are making a comeback as workers return to the office. But Brooks Brothers is adding a twist: a stretch version of its cotton-knit shirts with the comfort of a polo. It also is offering colorful jackets.
"The guy is attracted to novelty right now, novelty color, novelty print, novelty pattern," Ohashi said. "Historically, that guy came in, and he was buying a navy, a charcoal and black suit. He definitely wants to mix it up. And I think that is here to stay."

Lester Wright, a 100-year-old World War II veteran, ran the fastest 100m ever for a centenarian, clocking 26.34 seconds at the Penn Relays on Saturday.
Wright placed seventh out of nine in the men’s 80 years and older division, beating an 86-year-old and a 92-year-old.
Pending certification, the New Jersey native beat the previous men’s world record in the 100-year-old age division, a 26.99 set by Donald Pellmann in 2015, a masters track and field official confirmed.
Brit Fauja Singh ran an uncertified 23.40 at age 100 in 2011.
“If you’re going to go out to run a race, you should really run the race to try to win,” Wright, who turned 100 on Friday, told a Fox affiliate before the meet. “I don’t know how you can run to be second or third.”
A local TV reporter asked Wright, who raced for the first time in three years after an illness, if he was tired.
“No,” Wright answered.
Would you do it again? “Yes,” Wright said.
Wright’s early track career was stopped by World War II. He served under Gen. George Patton on the beaches of Normandy, according to the Fox affiliate.
He also buried the dead from the Battle of the Bulge and became a sergeant, according to an ABC affiliate. He and his wife started a dental lab, ran it for 40 years and have great-great-grandchildren, according to local TV reports.
At the 2016 Penn Relays, Ida Keeling set a world record for fastest 100m by a woman 100 years and older, weeks before her 101st birthday.

Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou last week took an Aerolíneas Argentinas flight and made a day trip to Buenos Aires Wednesday for strictly family and private reasons, it was reported.
Lacalle Pou had dinner Wednesday in a restaurant in the Recoleta neighborhood with Uruguay's Ambassador to Argentina Carlos Enciso and other personal friends, in the wake of his sister's launching an art exhibit.
A collection of paintings by Pilar Lacalle Pou was presented at the residence of the Uruguayan ambassador in Buenos Aires. Many local socialites attended the event.
I am not Luis' sister; he is my brother, joked Pilar during the art event. I am older [than him], she insisted. I said it as a joke. For me Luis is a permanent source of pride, I am very proud, she clarified afterwards.
The Lacalle Pous are children of former President Luis Alberto Lacalle Herrera (1990-1995), and great-grandchildren of Luis Alberto de Herrera, a member of the Uruguayan Executive between 1925 and 1927 as well as the main leader of the National Party for more than half a century. On their maternal line, they also stem from Joaquín Suárez, who was also President of Uruguay but representing the Colorado Party.
The Lacalles seem to be well connected in Buenos Aires. Lacalle Herrera also took a trip to the Argentine capital days ago to receive a distinction of his own.

Pilar defines her painting as visceral and joyful, because it gives life to colorful abstract forms, made with acrylic. She holds permanent exhibits in Punta del Este and Montevideo, in addition to other events in places such as Sao Paulo and Madrid.
For an Uruguayan, 'crossing the pond,' ... being in the big leagues, as Buenos Aires is, has a particular charm, she said during her opening speech for an art cycle by the embassy that will include other contemporary Uruguayan artists - I'm the guinea pig, she joked again.
Regarding her painting, I'm self-taught, I paint every morning. The best way to learn is to practice, she explained.
I am self-taught, I paint every morning. The best way to learn is to practice, says Lacalle Pou, who in addition to great masters like Vincent van Gogh or Pedro Figari, is very fond of the unrecognized talents, those who sell their works in street fairs, or who paint graffiti on the city walls.

WILLARD, Mo. — A Willard man is accused of threatening to shoot up a school, a church, and assassinate the pastor of a megachurch in Texas, according to court documents.
Nathan Elleson is charged with two counts of first-degree terrorist threat and one count of second-degree harassment.
The probable cause statement said on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, a Greene County Deputy learned Nathan Elleson contacted the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) and said he bought a gun and wanted to “shoot up a school.” According to court records, Elleson said he wanted to commit a school shooting because he was disappointed with the country, and he had not decided which school he would target or when he would commit the crime.

Mali’s navy junta breaks with protection agreements with France
The ruling navy council in Mali introduced, on Monday, the withdrawal from protection agreements with France, the previous colonizer, and condemned the “blatant violations” of its nationwide sovereignty by French forces there.
This announcement – which has been threatened a number of occasions over the previous few weeks – was the most recent affirmation of the deteriorating relations between Mali’s navy junta and France.
“For a while, the federal government of the Republic of Mali has famous with remorse a profound deterioration in navy cooperation with France,” spokesman Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga stated in a televised assertion.
Maiga pointed to a number of instances of French forces violating the nation’s airspace.
He referred to France’s choice in June 2021 to finish joint operations with Malian forces.
He referred to France’s choice in February to withdraw its forces from Mali.
Monetary authorities stated they knowledgeable Paris of the choice on Monday afternoon.
France has not but issued an official response to the navy council’s announcement.
Tensions between France and the junta of Mali, which seized energy in August 2020, have been escalating for a while.
The agreements concluded by Mali are people who set the overall framework for France’s intervention in Mali in 2014.
It was signed a 12 months after French forces deployed a big drive to assist Mali’s armed forces cease a jihadist offensive there.
France’s relationship with Mali soured because the junta resisted worldwide strain to schedule a swift return to democratic and civilian rule.
Paris additionally objected to the regime’s rapprochement with the Kremlin.
Each France and america have accused mercenaries from the Kremlin-linked safety firm Wagner of being deployed in Mali, the place the junta claims the Russians are merely navy trainers serving to to revive order.
Huge swathes of Mali lie exterior authorities management because of the jihadist insurgency, which started in 2012 earlier than spreading three years later to neighboring Burkina Faso and Niger.
The junta seized energy within the impoverished and landlocked Sahel area after protests over the federal government’s dealing with of the warfare in opposition to jihadists.
The battle has killed hundreds of navy and civilians and compelled a whole bunch of hundreds of individuals to flee their properties.

A raging wildfire burned dozens of acres in Fairview Twp. on Friday night, illuminating the mountainside.
At least 70 to 80 acres burned as a result of the blaze, which was largely brought under control Saturday, said Wesley Robinson, press secretary for the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. DCNR forestry firefighters and local fire crews battled the fire from land and air using helicopters.
Fire officials in Mountain Top said crews lit “backfires” to contain the blaze, but no properties were in jeopardy. They expected the fire to smolder until it rains as expected on Sunday. Robinson said the blaze was under investigation.
“Ninety-nine percent of wildfires are caused by humans, so that is likely the case,” he said. | https://www.citizensvoice.com/news/wildfire-burns-at-least-70-acres-in-mountain-top/article_56284501-aecc-5928-90eb-a0ba7bd35ece.html | 2022-05-03T03:14:47Z | https://www.citizensvoice.com/news/wildfire-burns-at-least-70-acres-in-mountain-top/article_56284501-aecc-5928-90eb-a0ba7bd35ece.html | false | null |
We tested the hypothesis that reduced skin innervation in fibromyalgia syndrome is associated with specific CNS changes. This prospective case"“control study included 43 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome and 40 healthy controls. We further compared the fibromyalgia subgroups with reduced (n"‰="‰21) and normal (n"‰="‰22) skin innervation. Brains were analysed for cortical volume, for white matter integrity, and for functional connectivity. Compared to controls, cortical thickness was decreased in regions of the frontal, temporal and parietal cortex in the fibromyalgia group as a whole, and decreased in the bilateral pericalcarine cortices in the fibromyalgia subgroup with reduced skin innervation. Diffusion tensor imaging revealed a significant increase in fractional anisotropy in the corona radiata, the corpus callosum, cingulum and fornix in patients with fibromyalgia compared to healthy controls and decreased FA in parts of the internal capsule and thalamic radiation in the subgroup with reduced skin innervation. Using resting-state fMRI, the fibromyalgia group as a whole showed functional hypoconnectivity between the right midfrontal gyrus and the posterior cerebellum and the right crus cerebellum, respectively. The subgroup with reduced skin innervation showed hyperconnectivity between the inferior frontal gyrus, the angular gyrus and the posterior parietal gyrus. Our results suggest that the subgroup of fibromyalgia patients with pronounced pathology in the peripheral nervous system shows alterations in morphology, structural and functional connectivity also at the level of the encephalon. We propose considering these subgroups when conducting clinical trials. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2587681021633/single-doses-of-a-highly-selective-inhibitor-of-phosphodiesterase-1-lenrispodun-in-healthy-volunteers-a-randomized-pharmaco-fmri-clinical-trial | 2022-05-03T03:18:34Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2587681021633/single-doses-of-a-highly-selective-inhibitor-of-phosphodiesterase-1-lenrispodun-in-healthy-volunteers-a-randomized-pharmaco-fmri-clinical-trial | true | 11 |
TORONTO — The Yankees showed up Monday night. After months of speculation and concern about whether the Yankees would be able to bring their entire roster through the the strict Canadian COVID vaccine travel requirements for players, the first-place Bombers showed up Monday night with their entire roster. Gleyber Torres homered and singled in the Yankees’ entire offense as they edged out the Blue Jays 3-2 at the Rogers Centre in the first of the three-game series.
Torres’ ninth inning RBI single extended the Yankees’ winning streak to 10 games and they have won 12 of their last 13 games. It was the 17th time in 23 games this season that the Yankees (17-6) had a game decided by three runs or less.
Giancarlo Stanton led off the ninth with a ground-ball single up the middle. Running for the right fielder, Tim Locastro stole second to get in scoring position. Matt Chapman made a good grab of Josh Donaldson’s broken-bat, soft ground ball and checked Locastro back to second before getting the out at first. Aaron Hicks struck out for the third time for the second out, but Torres brought Locastro in on a line-drive single to right-center field to get back the lead.
Jordan Montgomery allowed two earned runs on six hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out five. He got 13 swings and misses, six each on his changeup and curveball and one on his sinker.
Torres gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the fourth. The second baseman lined an opposite-field home run into the visitors bullpen in right field. The 376-foot shot was Torres’ third home run of the season. It drove in Donaldson, who had reached on a single.
Torres has driven in nine runs in his last six games.
That’s all the run support he got, but Montgomery is used to it. He has gotten an average of 3.74 runs of support per start since the beginning of the 2021 season, fourth-lowest in the majors.
And Montgomery gave those two runs right back in the bottom of the inning. George Springer led off with a single and scored from first on Bo Bichette’s double. Matt Chapman drove in the Blue Jays’ shortstop with a single.
Montgomery gave up a leadoff single to Bichette in the sixth and Boone went to get the lefty. Jonathan Loaisiga walked Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., the first batter he faced, before coaxing a double play ground ball from Lourdes Gurriel, Jr. He struck out Chapman to strand Bichette at third.
The Pinstripe Express
Miguel Castro came in to get two outs and then Clay Holmes threw 1.1 scoreless innings. Chad Green came in to close it out, earning his first save of the season.
Chapman was robbed of an extra-base hit in the second on the best defensive play Stanton has made as a Yankee. The 6-foot-6 right fielder leapt to catch the Blue Jays’ third baseman’s fly ball to the top of the wall. He crashed to the ground holding on to it and then got up and smiled.
There had been concern this spring about Canada’s vaccine requirements for foreign visitors for the Yankees, who had a few players still unvaccinated as of March. Monday, however, every player on the 26-man roster was in Toronto — meaning they were vaccinated — and available to play.
“This is obviously what I had hoped for. And fortunately we’re in a position that we’re all able to be here,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Monday night’s game.
Canada’s government requires a person to have received a second vaccine dose — or one dose of Johnson & Johnson — at least 14 days prior to entry. The Yankees had the 85% vaccination rate last season, but also had three bouts with COVID-19 that hit players like Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole and Anthony Rizzo.
Boone said that he did have some discussions about the importance of being able to have the entire team for the nine scheduled games in Toronto this season, but also did not push his beliefs on his players.
“I always feel strongly that it is very much a personal choice,” Boone said. “And certainly whatever happened, I was going to respect whatever choice anyone made in that regard.” | https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-gleyber-torres-blue-jays-winning-streak-20220503-jntf7gpzdvd7pevhnql5m5wfvq-story.html | 2022-05-03T03:21:08Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-gleyber-torres-blue-jays-winning-streak-20220503-jntf7gpzdvd7pevhnql5m5wfvq-story.html | false | 7 |

Victor Glemaud's 2022 Met Gala Look Is an Homage to André Leon Talley
For so many years, André Leon Talley had such a strong presence at the Met Gala. There were all the times he worked the event, and then, towards the end of his time at Vogue, the years he hosted the magazine's livestream of the red carpet, offering his insightful, incisive commentary live from his perch at the top of the museum's steps. Though that relationship ended sourly, as he recounted in his 2020 memoir, Talley unequivocally left his mark on the event. For designer Victor Glemaud, the event's return to the first Monday in May was an opportunity to pay homage to the late editor, who passed away in January.
"When you think of the theme and you think of 'gilded glamour' and you think of André, it's all one and the same," he says.
The designer attended the 2022 Met Gala as a guest of H&M. The opportunity came up "quite organically," Glemaud says: He's worked with the Swedish fashion company on the Met Gala in the past, designing looks for its guests and escorting them up the red carpet. When H&M reached out, he floated the idea of a tribute to Talley, to which "they immediately said yes."
Talley was synonymous with elegant, voluminous capes, so Glemaud and H&M created a silk taffeta opera coat for the red carpet "that instantly says 'André,'" worn over a white tuxedo. "The colors, the richness of it, the refinement, the finishing, the excellence that André stood for — it's all in this look," Glemaud says.

Beyond referencing Talley's signature cape, the designer nodded to other aspects of the late editor's style: "André was all about classic menswear and beautiful English tailoring, and I think we have a lot of those elements, from the lapel to the construction of the very classic tuxedo. It's very traditional. We've made it in these shades of ivory so it feels more contemporary, but the cut and everything about it is very traditional, which was very André — down to the silk socks and the loafer."
"This is the first time I've truly been invited to the Met Gala — I've escorted people before — so I'm thrilled that we could do it this way, paying tribute to a great person who's legacy is phenomenal," Glemaud says. "I'm really, really happy. I hope [people] recognize that the legacy of André and the Met is bigger than this moment, and that we continue to celebrate him."
Like countless others who were able to spend time with Talley in the hallowed halls of the Met, Glemaud cherishes those memories, which he says speak to the essence of who the industry legend was. One example: "Many years ago, back when they invited young fashion people to the after party at the Temple of Dendur, when Venus and Serena Williams started attending fashion things, we arrived and I went to say hello to André," he says. "And he goes, 'Kiss Venus first!' That's very much a vivid memory of the Met Gala and André — even in his element, it was still about everyone else except for him."
As a designer living and working in New York, Glemaud recognizes the significance of the exhibit, which aims to celebrate and uplift American fashion talent. "We have to keep showing that there's talent, there's always been talent — female designers from back in the day who are in this exhibition, from Claire McCardell to Donna Karan to new young designers that should also be showcased to a broader audience who goes to the museum and stumbles upon this exhibition or comes to the museum for this exhibition," he says. "For people who are coming tonight internationally, it's really important to see the mix: You have H&M and other global brands celebrating American design. I think it's fantastic."

David Koch leaves Sunrise broadcast early due to laryngitis
David Koch has been forced to abandon Sunrise hosting duties due to a health issue.
David Koch left the Sunrise broadcast three hours early due to a health issue.
The breakfast show star was on screen for the first 25 minutes of the program on Tuesday but vanished after an ad break.
His sudden departure was announced by Natalie Barr who told viewers her co-anchor was suffering with a bout of laryngitis.
“You may notice something slightly different,” she said to the camera.
“Kochie came in [and] he bravely fought on for about 25 minutes. He had laryngitis yesterday and apparently he’s still got it. He couldn’t really speak.”
The popular host had been sporting a croaky voice earlier in the morning.
Kochie was quickly replaced by sports presenter Mark Beretta on the newsdesk while he recovered off screen.
The early finish comes just days after the Sunrise hosts went toe to toe with Labour leader Anthony Albanese over which televised debates he will take part in.
Mr Albanese did the rounds of breakfast television on his first morning out of Covid isolation, with each network vying to host a contest between him and Scott Morrison.
In a back-and-forth with the hosts, Mr Albanese said he had a “longstanding” commitment which meant he would be unavailable on Thursday night.
“Look, Scott Morrison has been trying to say, ‘I’ll decide when every debate will be.’,” Mr Albanese said.
Koch retorted: “Well we will get our people to talk to your people and ScoMo’s people because I think we need a debate”.
Sunrise has Seven been a ratings juggernaut for Seven for almost a decade, with 2021 the 18th year in a row it ranked number 1 in its timeslot.
The breakfast show has also nabbed the top spot every day nationally for the past three years.

Eli Tomac (Knee): “There is a 98 Percent Chance I Don’t Race” Supercross Finale
After finishing fifth at the 16th round, Eli Tomac claimed the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross 450SX title one round early in his home state of Colorado. In his first year with Yamaha, Tomac earned (so far) seven race wins and 11 podium finishes en route to becoming the oldest AMA Supercross premier class champion ever as he brought the BluCru their first 450SX title since James Stewart in 2009. Then, Tomac dropped a bomb in the post-race TV interview as he announced he had a knee injury in his Atlanta Supercross heat race (round 14) and was happy he could stick it out and get the title. Woah! It was a pretty upfront statement from Tomac, who most know is a reserved individual, so props to ET3 for coming clean. In a brief post-race press conference with Daniel Blair shortly after, Tomac commented about his mental space throughout the 16th round:
“To be totally honest, I was pretty calm. Just one, for where I was and the points position that I was in. Two, I knew physically I could get through it. I was more freaked out at Atlanta and in Boston because my knee was jacked. It still is not great. So, I was pretty stressed out right there. I didn’t ride this last week at all. So, today when I woke up it wasn’t crazy stressful, but like I said, those past two I had more worries on my mind.”
Read Tomac’s full post-race interview with Blair
Remember back to the Atlanta Supercross, when Tomac tried to pull the move Jason Anderson did to him the lap prior and it did not go so well? Watch it at the 6:45 mark below.
@AlwaysMoto (a physiotherapy on Instagram) said he believed Tomac had injured his MCL in his knee: “He has most likely caused a tear to the MCL (medial collateral ligament) of his left knee.” Below is @AlwaysMoto's post, although the exact details had yet to be confirmed.
On the PulpMX Show tonight, Tomac called in to talk about his season and his move to Yamaha. Steve Matthes also asked about the knee injury, and Tomac went into detail, saying the following:
“So, I have a damaged MCL. Nothing else is damaged or torn on the MRI, but my MCL is torn. I guess it’s the only thing in your knee that can heal itself so now I’ve gotta take the time and heal it and hopefully not tweak it again. But for now, it is getting better every day. Actually, the hardest thing to do is squeeze a bike, because that’s the inside of your knee so that’s the point of contact and that’s the part that gets a little irritated. You know, I’m okay like in practice, then like I’m decent for a few laps but where it has been getting me is basically at the halfway mark in the main, and that’s exactly where I have been getting spit out the back. I mean you saw that in Boston and in Denver where I’m just kinda riding around. And it’s kinda effected the way I weight the bike too in the turns. So I’m hoping I can gain that strength back and that’s all I can do at this point. And looking to the future, I think I will be okay for outdoors to go ahead with it. As long as I don’t piss it off.”
Steve Matthes asked, “Is this something where you may take this weekend off or no?”
Tomac responded:
“Uh…I would say there is a higher probability of me taking this weekend off. Unless things really change in these next couple of days, I would say I’m not racing Salt Lake [City]. I am going there no matter what to be with Yamaha and all the fans in Salt Lake, but I would say there is a 98 percent chance I don’t race. …And what’s crazy is it’s torn but it is getting better. And it doesn’t really even make sense to me but for what the MRI says, so I don’t know, we’ll just see.”
So there you have it, Tomac confirmed the extent of his injury, when it happened, and that chances are he will rest for the supercross finale as he hopes to heal his knee heading into his first season of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship as a member of Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing.

Billie Eilish at Met Gala 2022 Photograph:( AFP )
Billie Eilish made her return to the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2022 Met Gala's red carpet by dressing in a silky corset gown.
Sticking to this year's theme of 'Gilded Glamour', American singer and songwriter Billie Eilish made her return to the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2022 Met Gala's red carpet by dressing in a silky corset gown.
The 'Happier Than Ever' singer's pale champagne-coloured gown was from Gucci and while talking about it to a fashion magazine she stated that her ensemble was crafted entirely out of existing materials and excess fabric, in order to avoid creating any waste while crafting the dress. Billie had worn sustainable fashion even last year to promote zero wastage.
Billie wore her hair in an elegant updo, completing her look with sparkling earrings, a black choker dripping with diamonds and plenty of diamond rings.
For the 2022 Met Gala Lin-Manuel Miranda, Regina King, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are serving as co-chairs.
This year's event's theme is 'Gilded Glamour', inspired by the turn-of-the-century Gilded Age in American history. The theme encourages today's biggest stars to interpret late 19th-century clothing through a modern lens. | https://www.wionews.com/india-news/billie-eilish-arrives-for-2022-met-gala-event-dressed-in-silky-corset-gown-475884 | 2022-05-03T03:31:59Z | https://www.wionews.com/india-news/billie-eilish-arrives-for-2022-met-gala-event-dressed-in-silky-corset-gown-475884 | true | 5 |
Court rules San Francisco can’t ban suspected drug dealers from neighborhood
A California appeals court ruled against an effort by San Francisco to ban four suspected drug dealers from a 50-square-block area in a neighborhood rife with drug dealing and drug use.
The ruling issued Friday is part of a case that started in 2020 when San Francisco sued 28 alleged drug dealers who frequent the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods. The city was attempting to clean up the area, which has seen the city’s largest number of overdose deaths.
Then-San Francisco City Atty. Dennis Herrera said the lawsuits, if approved in California Superior Court, would prevent the alleged dealers from entering that area of downtown.
The state’s 1st District Court of Appeal said a local government may be entitled to issue narrowly targeted stay-away orders to wrongdoers in some circumstances, but not one that is so broad, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday..
Unlike its counterparts nationwide, homicides barely rose in San Francisco, but thefts and break-ins have surged.
The city’s first attempt to enforce the ban against four of the 28 alleged drug dealers was blocked last May by a state judge in San Francisco who said state law did not appear to authorize a court to prohibit someone from entering a geographic area — but even if it did, the proposed order was so broad that it would violate the constitutional right to travel.
“We are mindful of, and sympathetic to, the challenges faced by the city in addressing the issues of illegal drug sales, drug use, and the drug-related health crisis and its effects on the people who live and work in the neighborhood,” Justice Marla Miller wrote in Friday’s 3-0 ruling.
Miller said, however, that “although the city contends these defendants have no reason to ever even be in the 50-square-block Tenderloin neighborhood except to sell drugs there was evidence that many community resources and government agencies are located in the Tenderloin.”
She said the San Francisco judge was entitled to believe the four people’s statements “that they were interested in taking advantage of the employment, treatment, housing, and health services available in the 50-square-block neighborhood.”
San Francisco City Atty. David Chiu’s spokesperson, Jen Kwart, said Monday that the office was disappointed by the ruling and had not decided whether to appeal.

Which silicone oven mitts are best?
Looking for a new pair of oven mitts that won’t sport ugly burn marks? Silicone oven mitts are more durable, last longer and are easier to clean than fabric oven mitts. They grip well and you can use them for hot or frozen trays and dishes in the kitchen.
So where do you start? Take a look at the durable Town & Country Living Silicone Oven Mitt Set. It comes with two waterproof mitts that can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees.
What to know before you buy silicone oven mitts
Types of silicone mitts
Oven mitts, pinch mitts, grill gloves and pot holders are all heat-resistant and designed to protect your hands from burns. Stylistically, though, they have slightly differing features.
- Oven mitts: These fit completely over the hands to cover fingers, palms and sometimes wrists. They offer the most coverage.
- Pinch mitts: These are like oven mitts but smaller, covering just the fingers. They don’t protect the whole hand but do take up less space in the cabinet.
- Grill gloves: These are similar to oven mitts but separate each finger to offer you more dexterity working at the grill. The coverage is similar to that of oven mitts but they are more flexible.
- Pot holders: These are usually square pieces, practical for grabbing something small quickly but not ideal for heavy serving trays.
Heat-resistant
Silicone is incredibly heat-resistant, making it ideal for cooking and baking. Silicone oven mitts won’t melt or catch fire, even near an open flame. Most of these mitts are heat resistant up to 450 degrees and some can withstand up to 600 degrees. Keep in mind, however, that oven mitts are made to hold hot items for short amounts of time and should not be exposed to extended periods of extreme heat.
Care instructions
One of the great things about silicone oven mitts is how easy to they are to clean. The silicone surface washes quickly with a little dish soap and dries fast with a towel. Some silicone mitts feature padded fabric linings for extra comfort. While the fabric doesn’t wash in the sink as easily, these mitts are usually machine washable on a gentle cycle. Lay them flat to dry.
What to look for in quality silicone oven mitts
Slip-resistant textures
A reliable pair of silicone oven mitts features a honeycomb or lined pattern of grooves and ridges on the inside of the palm, fingers and thumb to make sure hot dishes don’t slip out of your hands. This is especially important when it comes to lifting larger dishes, pots or trays that have significant weight.
Extended arm coverage
It’s important to protect your wrists working in the kitchen. A great pair of silicone oven mitts ensures that your wrists and forearms are protected with extra coverage in those areas. These mitts can reach up the wrist and even to the forearm to ensure you don’t get burned by the side of a pan or the inside of the oven.
Interior padding
Some silicone oven mitts have a padded cotton lining. The padding adds an additional level of comfort and support when you go to move a dish and an extra layer of protection between your skin and hot surfaces. It even keeps your hands from feeling sweaty or sticking to the inside the mitt.
How much you can expect to spend on silicone oven mitts
A single silicone oven mitt costs $10-$25. A set of two can cost $15-$50.
Silicone oven mitts FAQ
What is silicone?
A. Silicone is a polymer made from siloxane. It’s used in sealants, adhesives, cooking utensils and for thermal insulation.
Is silicone nontoxic?
A. Silicone is nontoxic, making it perfect for use in the kitchen. It doesn’t react with food even when exposed to high temperatures.
How often should silicone oven mitts be washed?
A. You only have to wash oven mitts regularly if you notice them getting greasy or dirty often. Other than that, some soap and water every few months will keep them clean.

Kim dyed her hair blonde for the full bombshell effect.
It is thought that the dress was so tight, Marilyn originally had to be sewn into it for her performance for the President.

Peraton has appointed Andrew Hallman, former Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Principal Executive and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Deputy Director for Digital Innovation, as vice president, National Security Strategy and Integration, effective May 9, 2022. In this new role Hallman will lead the company’s efforts to build, test, and execute transformative intelligence programs from concept through operations.
Hallman will be a principal contributor to Peraton’s enterprise-level strategy for current and future intelligence business, specifically focusing on the creation of strategies to integrate intelligence missions and capabilities across organizations and agencies. He will also contribute to Peraton’s ability to support critical government needs related to technology-enabled intelligence operations and the transformation of systems across the Intelligence Community (IC).
Hallman will be charged with developing and orchestrating a bold vision and strategy for Peraton’s progressive intelligence programs and will help drive business growth that leverages both Peraton’s unique technical capabilities and emerging technologies and commercial ventures available to the company.
“Andrew is truly a national asset,” said Stu Shea, Peraton’s chairman, president and CEO. “He is a rare breed with a tremendous command of the complex national security issues facing our nation and understands the critical interdependencies between customer mission, technology, government policy, and national budget priorities.”
A recognized national security leader, Hallman has spent his entire career at the forefront of global national security issues and innovation in intelligence collection.
“As he’s proven throughout his career, Andrew can create and lead broad, multi-disciplinary teams attacking emerging intelligence issues,” said Shea. “His contributions will be immediately accretive to Peraton’s continued success and help us to further differentiate ourselves from traditional competitors in the national security market.”
Over 33 years at the CIA, in addition to serving as Deputy Director for Digital Innovation, responsible for accelerating the integration of digital and cyber capabilities across all of CIA’s mission areas, Hallman also served as Deputy Director of Intelligence for Strategic Programs, Director of the Office of Transnational Issues, and Director of the Office of Iraq Analysis.

I am writing this on the evening of May 1. May Day, we call it. For me, it is one of my favorite holidays as it combines both left wing history with a bit of Paganism.
When I was a kid, we would fill up May Baskets full of treats and ring the doorbell of the person on whom we had crushes. It was then the tradition that the person who received the May Basket would run out of the house and attempt to kiss the person leaving the basket.
I remember leaving a basket at the age of 6 for a 6-year-old girl. I didn’t run too fast, so she caught me. Why anyone would run from receiving a kiss from a person you like strikes me as odd.
The Pagans of northern Europe called the day Beltane. It is from this that we have the tradition of the May Pole, which actually started 2,000 years ago with the Romans, and maybe some of you have participated in such celebrations. It is the celebration of spring and fertility and new life.
Among my more Pagan friends I have had throughout life, the Beltane celebration had a bit of a more randy side. One lady of such a persuasion used to say: “Hurray, Hurray, it is the first of May. Outdoor sexual activities begin today.” Of course, she used a different word for the carnal nature of the holiday but this is a family newspaper.
May Day was designated the day of the worker back in 1889 by a bunch of socialists and trade unionists to commemorate the Haymarket Riot, which occurred in Chicago on May 4, 1886. The Haymarket strike was in support of something we all enjoy today — the 8-hour work day.
Industrial relations at the time were horrendous and workers were often expected to work 6 days a week, working up to 16 hours a day for an average of $1.50 a day. The 1880s is often called the Great Upheaval due to the explosion of the labor movement along with a governmental backlash that often resulted in beatings and death.
On May 1, 1886, a general national strike was called by socialists, anarchists and trade union groups in support of the 8-hour day. The numbers of people who went out on strike was impressive — 70,000 people in Chicago and 40,000 people in New York City went on strike. Milwaukee and Detroit similarly had thousands of people out on strike for the 8-hour day. Nationwide, it is estimated that between 350,000 and half a million workers went on strike that day.
The strikers all sang a popular song called “The 8 Hour Day” in which the last lyrics were: “Eight hours we’d have for working; eight hours we’d have for play; eight hours we’d have for sleeping in free Amerikay.”
The strike lasted for a few days and on May 3, 1886, the police killed a couple of protesters in Chicago. This upset the strikers who then had a huge rally in Haymarket Square in Chicago on May 4. The police came to break up the demonstration, which had begun peacefully, until someone threw a bomb at the police killing several of them. Mayhem ensued and Haymarket square was cleared within five minutes.
Eight police officers died during the riot and four protesters, 70 protesters were injured. Eventually 7 anarchists were sentenced to death by hanging for their unproven participation in the violence.
As often happens after a riot where there has been violence, a backlash against the labor movement ensued. In modern times, think of the negative Fox coverage of the Minneapolis riots after the killing of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police. Something similar happened back in the 1880s.
However, by 1889, as mentioned above, Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor, in concert with a group of international Socialists called the Second International decided to begin a new push for the 8-hour day on May 1 of that year.
In the United States, it wasn’t until 1937 and the New Deal that the 8-hour day became the standard for everyone with overtime established for work beyond the 8-hour day. However, the fight for the 8-hour work day began in earnest as early as the late 1860s. Some social innovations happen slowly. It took nearly 70 years of advocacy to establish the 8-hour work day in the United States.
May Day as the day of the worker is celebrated in 80 countries. Of course, most of us of a certain age remember the Soviet Union and its spectacular parades they used to have in Red Square. The tradition lingers on in many countries and it seems a bit ironic that the country that first designated May Day doesn’t have it as an official holiday.
In the United States, Labor Day was created as a holiday by President Grover Cleveland after the Pullman Strike, but he moved it to the first Monday in September to avoid giving any credit to the socialists and the union folk who pushed for the holiday on May 1.

Occasionally waking up to pee isn't much of a concern. It could mean that you drank a lot of fluids close to your bedtime, or your body is processing alcohol after a night out, and you have more fluids to expel. However, a bladder condition called nocturia involves frequently waking up to pee throughout the night. Nocturia can be caused by factors like drinking a lot of fluids, diuretic medications, heart failure, or under-treated type 2 diabetes. Waking up to pee at night can seem like this pesky annoyance, but one seemingly simple reason experts recommend getting your nocturia under control? Waking to use the bathroom increases your risk of falling, and taking a tumble can have some severe health consequences, especially if you're over the age of 65, says Sean Ormond, MD, a dual board-certified in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Management. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2587821117615/want-to-live-to-100-the-answer-may-lie-in-the-longevity-diet | 2022-05-03T04:13:21Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2587821117615/want-to-live-to-100-the-answer-may-lie-in-the-longevity-diet | true | 113 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Kim Kardashian shut down the Met Gala red carpet Monday in one of Marilyn Monroe's most iconic dresses, a gold-beaded body hugger Monroe wore when she sexily sang happy birthday to President John F. Kennedy 60 years ago.
Kardashian had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress, designed by Jean Louis and purchased in 2016 by the Ripley's Believe or Not! museum in Orlando, Florida, for a whopping $4.81 million.
“It was such a challenge,” she said. “I was determined to fit it.”
The dress originally cost $12,000. It was so tight Monroe had to be sewn into it when she purred “Happy birthday, Mr. president” on May 19, 1962, at a Madison Square Garden fundraiser. She died three months later. It has been known as the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress ever since.
Kardashian, with boyfriend Pete Davidson at her side, paired the dress with Cartier white gold drop diamond earrings and a furry short white jacket she kept strategically low to cover her backside. Her hair was platinum and pulled tightly into a bun.
Earlier, Blake Lively smiled for the cameras in a grand Atelier Versace gown, with husband Ryan Reynolds in brown velvet, Billie Eilish went with an upcycled green lace-trim dress from Gucci and Cynthia Erivo wore sheer white Louis Vuitton with a matching head piece as the Met Gala returned to its berth on the first Monday in May after years of pandemic upheaval.
The celebration of American design was themed to gilded glamour, sprouting classic black tailed tuxedoes for many of the men and lots of dresses in black and white for the women. Others paid literal homage to New York City, home base for the Gilded Age, and still more shimmered in metallic golds and silver.
“Black and white are THE colors for the evening,” said Holly Katz, a stylist and host of the Fashion Crimes podcast.
Lively, one of the evening's co-hosts, wore a bronze and rose gold look that transformed into a shimmery layer of baby blue as a large bow was pulled. Her look drew inspiration from the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the blue ceiling of Grand Central Station.
“Instead of looking to fashion to influence the dress, I looked to New York City architecture,” Lively said.
Cardi B, accompanied by Donatella Versace, was an over-the-top golden goddess in a dress of mesh and chains, a fitting birthday for the designer.
Gigi Hadid was more redefined cat woman than golden girl. She wore a tight-as-skin, blood red Latex catsuit with a corseted bodice and huge, heavy quilted coat from Versace. She walked gingerly up the steps.
Lizzo, meanwhile, got the crowd cheering when she played her gold flute for fans watching the parade of fashion outside. She wore a black dress under a stunning gold-embroidered black coat, all by Thom Browne.
Camila Cabello worked a huge white gown with a midriff top, from Prabal Gurung, while Jordan Roth, the theater producer, provided a reveal of his own, removing a black, egg-like shell to a matching bulbous suit, all by Thom Browne. Janelle Monáe offered a royal wave in a black and white bedazzled helmet piece and slinky gown with head piece.
“Amazing. I’m proud to be American. I’m proud to be wearing Ralph Lauren. This is gilded glamour from the future,” Monáe told The Associated Press.
New York Mayor Eric Adams put politics front and center in a tux emblazoned with “End Gun Violence” on the back. Former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was in a Bordeaux-colored gown designed by Joseph Altuzarra with the names of historic women sewn into the hem and neckline. They include Abigail Adams, Shirley Chisolm and Madeleine Albright.
Clinton's last Met Gala was a while ago.
“I told Anna I would come every 20 years,” she said.
Vogue livestream co-host Vanessa Hudgens made her way up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a vaguely Victorian black sheer lace gown with a long train by Moschino. She was joined by La La Anthony, her fellow Vogue host who wore a deep red look with cut out shoulders from LaQuan Smith.
“I'm practically naked,” Hudgens joked.
Anthony said: “Those stairs are intimidating.”
And if the Met Gala's return feels like one of those what, already moments, it is.
It's been just under eight months since the last gala, an annual fundraiser that raises eight-figure sums for the Met's Costume Institute. More than $16.4 million was raised last year. The starry event is the institute's primary budget feeder.
This year's gala coincides with the opening of the second part of a two-part exhibit at the Costume Institute focused on American fashion and style. The evening's dress code was gilded glamour and white tie, a la the Gilded Age, that tumultuous period between the Civil War and the turn of the 20th century known for its robber barons, drama and grandeur.
Some of the stars included extra touches. Gabrielle Union said the red jewels in her hair to go with her silver Versace dress represented the blood shed by people of color during the Gilded Age. The dress included a large red flower embellishment at the waist.
Vogue's Anna Wintour, who has run the gala since 1995, wore feathery Chanel and a jeweled tiara that has been in her family since 1910. She continues as one of the night's honorary co-chairs, along with designer Tom Ford and Instagram's Adam Mosseri. The other official co-chairs for 2022 are Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Eilish wore a custom Gucci corset look of ivory and duchesse satin with green lace and a padded bustle. Erivo’s look came with a large train as she held hands with Sarah Jessica Parker, who wore custom Christopher John Rogers, a white and black striped Cinderella ballgown with a towering pink and black feather head piece by Philip Treacy.
Parker's dress was inspired by the work of Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley, the first Black female fashion designer in the White House, a confidante of first lady Mary Todd Lincoln.
Alicia Keys’ Ralph Lauren dress was inspired by her native New York City, with a cape evoking the New York City skyline outlined in small hand-placed crystals. Her husband, Swizz Beatz, also a native New Yorker, donned a New York sports jacket.
Keys said her dress was meant to “represent an empire state of mind and a city of gods here tonight.”
Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, showed up with his mother, Maye Musk a former model adorned in Chopard pearls and other jewels. Her son went with a classic tux with tails.
Ariana DeBose was resplendent in golden Moschino by Jeremy Scott.
“This guy turned me into a fashion Oscar,” she said.
And the gala included a marriage proposal. Former state Assembly candidate Bobby Digi Olisa got down on one knee to pop the question to a stunned Laurie Cumbo, the city’s commissioner of cultural affairs.
What's a Met Gala without more than one Kardashian, or six. The entire family showed up, including Kylie Jenner in a white ballgown with a matching hat and big sister Kourtney Kardashian in deconstructed Thom Browne to go with beaux Travis Barker's Thom Browne suit. Kendall Jenner was in black Prada as she played “devil and angel” with Kylie. Sister Khloe Kardashian was in gold Moschino and matriarch Kris Jenner wore canary yellow from Oscar de la Renta, an ode to Jackie Kennedy Onassis — her hair in a ’60s flip.
Megan Thee Stallion was also a golden goddess. Her Moschino shiner had wings at the shoulders. Quannah Rose wore a beaded blue strapless gown created in partnership with Indigenous designer Lenise Omeasoo.
Sans husband Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber walked in an elegant Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello slip dress with a feather-trimmed coat in white.
Katy Perry, usually a showstopper as a cheeseburger and other wacky looks over the years, donned understated Oscar de la Renta this time around.
Teyana Taylor wasn't quite on theme but her dramatic Iris Van Herpen gown certainly made a statement, said Claire Sulmers, a fashion writer and pop culture observer who writes The State of Fashion column on Meta's publishing platform Bulletin. It was a breathtaking purple worn with a metal, cage-like piece around her head and face.
“The drama and metallic adornment certainly made her one of the best dressed of the night,” Sulmers said.
While many wore European brands, the American vibe remained, said Rachel Tashjian, fashion news director for Harper’s Bazaar.
“Many of the best looks were the most straightforward ones. Kate Moss in a velvet Le Smoking Tuxedo gown, Hailey Bieber in slinky ice-colored silk and marabou feathers, for example. They were both in Saint Laurent, which is of course not an American brand, but the simplicity and directness of their beauty and allure was extraordinarily, well, patriotic,” she said.
Todd Snyder, the New York-based designer, appreciated many of the night's interpretations on the white tie dress code.
"Seeing how people pushed beyond the expected interpretation was refreshing this year. I loved Austin Butler in custom Prada swapping the classic bow tie for a silk scarf over a cropped tux jacket. Ryan Reynolds and Rege Jean Page reminded us of the elegance of velvet in a tux. While the era from the outside was opulent, Riz Ahmed’s statement of wearing a workwear inspired outfit to represent the immigrant workers that kept the Gilded Age going is a statement that must not be forgotten.”

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. — Commonwealth Health announced the emergency room at its hospital outside Tunkhannock will close for good in just a few months. Residents are now wondering where they’ll go in the event of an emergency and how long it will take to get there.
July 1. That’s the day the emergency room at Commonwealth Health hospital, still known to residents as Tyler Memorial -- will officially close. A few miles down Route 6, we found people in Tunkhannock worried that the alternative ER’s are too far away.
"Either here or urgent care," said Connor Croc from Nicholson. "You’ve gotta go all the way down to Wilkes-Barre of Scranton."
"I don’t live in Tunkhannock, but I live closer another direction," said Liz from Wyoming County. "But if I was in Tunkhannock, I would wish I could go right up the street. It takes—it’s a lot longer. I would feel bad for those people."
"We need a hospital like that around," said Joe Hamedl from Tunkhannock. "Sometimes things you need, don’t come to virtue unfortunately."
Last year, Commonwealth Health announced the hospital would no longer offer emergency services, in-patient care or surgeries, saying the space would be used as an urgent care by fall 2021.
The ER still appeared to be open when Newswatch 16 Monday afternoon, but its days are numbered.
The company says it, “will remain in Tunkhannock with services the community has demonstrated it will use such as primary care and occupational medicine.”
Hamedl said his girlfriend took a job at the hospital just five months ago
"If there’s no patients or there’s not enough patients, it doesn’t make sense economically to keep the building open," Hamedl said.
But Hamedl is still concerned about longer commute times. A five- or ten-minute drive to the closest ER will soon be 25 or 30 minutes, he said.
"There’s some people I’m sure, some patients who are older than I am, and for an older patient to travel that far, it becomes cumbersome," he said.
"There’s old-folks’ homes around here too that are going to be impacted by it, as well," Croc said.
Commonwealth Health said its emergency medical services will remain at the hospital around the clock for transports as needed.
"If they have a heart attack, I don’t know what the plans are," Hamedl said. "How are they going to deal with something like that?"
The company will be pointing patients who need emergency care or surgeries to its hospitals in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Primary care offices in Tunkhannock will remain open. | https://www.wnep.com/article/news/local/wyoming-county/wyoming-county-emergency-room-to-close-for-good-commonwealth-health-connor-croc-tunkhannock-tyler-memorial/523-30b3f757-542a-40b3-94e6-a4748b67f634 | 2022-05-03T04:15:04Z | https://www.wnep.com/article/news/local/wyoming-county/wyoming-county-emergency-room-to-close-for-good-commonwealth-health-connor-croc-tunkhannock-tyler-memorial/523-30b3f757-542a-40b3-94e6-a4748b67f634 | false | 1 |
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A Westside resident is behind bars after allegedly pulling a gun on neighbors that asked him to slow down while speeding through their neighborhood.

EPPD officials say they were dispatched to the home regarding a ‘subject with a gun.’
Their investigation revealed that 37-year-old Manuel Villarreal was driving a pickup truck ‘at a high rate of speed’ on Pearl Ridge when one of two residents along the street asked him to slow down.
Police say 23-year-old Cynthia Gomez and 24-year-old Collins Smith reported that Villarreal drove to the end of the street, turned around, and headed back in their direction. One of the victims told police that they had to move out of the way to avoid being hit.
Officials add that Villarreal then parked at his home, just across the street from the victims.
Gomez and Smith went inside their house and, a short time later, they heard a noise outside and saw through a window, that Villarreal was parked in front of their house holding a gun pointed in their direction.

Asian shares are mixed in light “Golden Week” trading with markets in China, Japan and some other countries closed for holidays.
Investors are watching to see what the U.S. Federal Reserve does as it accelerates efforts to curb inflation. The central bank is expected to raise short-term interest rates by double the usual amount when it releases its latest statement on Wednesday. It has already raised its key overnight rate once, for the first time since 2018, and Wall Street is expecting several big hikes in coming months.
That will make it more costly to borrow — for a car, a home, a credit card purchase and may weaken the economy. It also would draw investments out of stocks into other assets as their yields rise. Ultra-low interest rates helped drive stocks to unprecedented highs during the pandemic and now that process is being reversed.
Central banks in many other countries are also raising rates to try to bring price increases under control.
The Reserve Bank of Australia was due to decide on a rate hike Tuesday. New Zealand has begun raising rates, as have some other central banks in the region apart from Japan and China, where economic recoveries have been slowed by efforts to tame recent outbreaks of coronavirus.
“For the session ahead, traders will be working on positioning ahead of the FOMC (Fed) and watching the RBA Meeting, where much firmer-than-expected . . . consumer price index data in Australia may have pitched the scales towards a rate hike,” Anderson Alves of ActivTrades said in a commentary.
Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower to 7,338.00.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 0.3% to 21,028.01 and the Kospi in South Korea rose 0.5% to 2,699.93.
On Monday, a late-afternoon turnaround led by technology stocks left major indexes moderately higher on Wall Street, averting more losses following a brutal April when widespread tech sell-offs dragged down major benchmarks.
The S&P 500 rose 0.6% to 4,155.38, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3% to 33,061.50. The Nasdaq climbed 1.6% to 12,536.02.
Smaller company stocks also reversed course after spending much of the day in the red. The Russell 2000 index rose 1% to 1,882.91.
Bond prices fell, pushing yields higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was at 2.98% after rising to 3.00% on Monday. It hadn’t been above 3% since Dec. 3, 2018, according to Tradeweb.
The uneven start to May follows an 8.8% skid for the benchmark S&P 500 in April led by Big Tech companies, which started to look overpriced, particularly with interest rates set to rise sharply.
Just over half of the stocks in the S&P 500 closed higher, with the technology and communication sectors driving much of the advance. Chipmaker Nvidia and Facebook’s parent company, Meta Platforms, each rose 5.3%.
The broader market often bends to the direction of technology stocks. Many companies in the sector have pricey stock values and therefore have more force in pushing the major indexes up or down.
Still, it’s unusual for tech stocks to rally at the same time that bond yields are rising. That’s because higher yields make bonds increasingly attractive assets relative to more risky and expensive stocks, particularly those of technology and other growth-oriented companies.
U.S. crude oil prices rose. European energy ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss Russian supply issues and sanctions. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted a jump in already high oil and natural gas prices.
U.S. benchmark crude oil gained 19 cents to $105.36 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It gained 48 cents to $105.17 per barrel on Monday.
Brent crude added 17 cents to $107.75 per barrel.
Concerns about rising inflation have also been hanging over the latest round of corporate earnings. This week will bring more, with Pfizer reporting results on Tuesday, CVS Health on Wednesday, and Kellogg on Thursday.
In currency trading, the dollar was at 130.03 Japanese yen, down from 130.15 yen on Monday. The euro rose to $1.0516 from $1.0505.

Ohio Republican Gov. DeWine faces test of far right's sway
Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine is facing a test of the far right's sway as he seeks another term in office
Ohio Republican Gov. DeWine faces test of far right's sway
Show all 4Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's performance in the state's primary Tuesday will provide a gauge of just how far to the right his party has shifted under the influence of former President Donald Trump.
DeWine, a veteran politician who easily won the state's top office four years ago, is facing a revolt in some corners of Ohio after enraging the GOP faithful with aggressive stay-at-home mandates, business shutdowns and curfews during the pandemic.
Despite calling himself “the most pro-life governor in Ohio history,” he has lost the backing of some anti-abortion and conservative groups. Still, he remains favored to win the party's nomination as long as his three far-right challengers, including former U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, end up splitting the anti-DeWine vote.
Ohio Democrats face a bigger problem when picking their nominee for governor — they haven't won a statewide nonjudicial race in nearly 16 years.
Their choice comes down to former Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley or former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, who would be the first woman in the state’s history to receive a major party’s backing for governor.
Whaley and Cranley, who have a friendship that goes back years, are aligned on many issues. Both have promised to protect abortion rights, promote social justice and fight political corruption.
Cranley wants to legalize marijuana and use the money generated to rebuild the state's economy. Whaley advocates for expanding access to child care and adding universal preschool.
Whoever emerges will be an underdog against the winner of the four-way Republican primary. Ohio has elected just one Democrat to be governor in the past three decades. Since then, the state has shifted to the right, especially in recent years under Trump's hold.
The former president did not choose sides in the Republican contest for governor, but his presence remains. Renacci, who had hoped to win his endorsement, has painted DeWine as a moderate who's out of step with Trump and governed “like a blue-state liberal.”
DeWine has been careful to say he's still a supporter of Trump's but without fully embracing him. He also dismissed Trump’s false claims of a stolen 2020 election.
Conservatives upset with the governor complain that his policies and actions during the pandemic ran counter to what they were hearing from Trump and GOP governors such as Florida's Ron DeSantis and South Dakota’s Kristi Noem.

Just a quick hotfix here to address a crash when players would land on the RANDOM ITEM tile in the board game mode. This was again caused by a frustrating file corruption.
Aside from that crash fix, I have also updated the description text in the "DEAD STILL" mini-game so it makes a bit more sense on how to play.
It now says:
_"Go the furthest to win.
To move forward, HOLD the displayed buttons and use movement buttons at the same time. But don't try to move when lights are flashing!
SURVIVAL MODE:
Buttons will not display, you need to guess them, good luck :)"_
Thank you all for your patience and your support, and please remember to report any crashes or bugs you run into so that I can address them immediately.

BEIJING – Beijing is preparing new hospital facilities to deal with a spike in COVID-19 cases, even though the numbers of new cases remain low.
State media reported Tuesday a 1,000-bed hospital at Xiaotangshan in the northeastern suburbs built for the 2003 SARS outbreak has been refurbished in case it's needed.
Unofficial reports online say thousands of beds have been prepared in a centralized quarantine center near the airport, but state media has not confirmed those preparations in what could be an attempt to avoid stoking public fears.
New cases in Beijing have remained steady, with another 62 recorded on Monday, 11 of them showing no symptoms, up just slightly from about 50 per day over the weekend. Beijing has reported about 450 cases in the two-week-old outbreak.
China has stuck to its strict “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.
That has come as many other countries relax pandemic restrictions. Experts have questioned the usefulness of China’s hardline policy, saying vaccines and new treatments for COVID-19 make them redundant.
Beijing has ordered restaurants and gyms closed for the May Day national holiday that runs through Wednesday, while major tourist sites in the city, including the Forbidden City and the Beijing Zoo, will close their indoor exhibition halls starting Tuesday.
Another three rounds of testing have been ordered for most of the city's 21 million people starting Tuesday, following a similar requirement last week. A negative test result obtained within the previous 48 hours is required to gain entry to most public spaces.
Authorities in Shanghai are slowly beginning to ease lockdown restrictions that have confined most of the city's 26 million people to their apartments, housing compounds or immediate neighborhoods for close to a month.
Shanghai recorded another 5,669 cases on Monday, all but 274 of them asymptomatic, along with an additional 20 deaths.
Shanghai's surprisingly low death toll amid an outbreak of more than 400,000 cases has sparked questions into how such deaths are tallied.
The severe lockdown conditions have led to massive disruptions from food shortages to a wider, though likely temporary impact on the national economy.
China’s largest city recorded a daily peak of 27,605 new cases nearly three weeks ago on April 13. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/05/03/beijing-preps-covid-19-hospital-spaces-though-new-cases-low/ | 2022-05-03T04:41:00Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/05/03/beijing-preps-covid-19-hospital-spaces-though-new-cases-low/ | true | 27 |

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday greeted the countrymen on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and Parshuram Jayanti.
"Many congratulations to the countrymen on the occasion of Parshuram Jayanti. Lord Parashurama is revered for his valour along with mercy and compassion," tweeted the Prime Minister in Hindi today.
In another tweet, the Prime Minister said, "Wishing you all a very Happy Akshaya Tritiya. Best wishes on Akshaya Tritiya. I pray that this special day brings prosperity in everyone's lives."
Parshuram Jayanti is also celebrated as Akshaya Tritiya which marks the day of the birth of Lord Parshuram. The sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Lord Parshuram (literal meaning, Rama with an axe) descended on earth to save it from the barbarity of the Kshatriyas. The day is celebrated as Parshuram Jayanti in most parts of the country.
As per the Hindu calendar, Parashurama Jayanti falls on the tritiya (third day) of 'shukla paksha' in Vaisakh. According to the Gregorian calendar, the day occurs in April or May.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — On a dusty field on the east side of Mexico’s sprawling capital, some 500 Ukrainian refugees are waiting in large tents under a searing sun for the United States government to tell them they can come.
The camp has only been open a week and 50 to 100 people are arriving every day. Some have already been to the U.S. border in Tijuana where they were told they would no longer be admitted. Others arrived at airports in Mexico City or Cancun, anywhere they could find a ticket from Europe.
“We are asking the U.S. government to process faster,” said Anastasiya Polo, co-founder of United with Ukraine, a nongovernmental organization, that collaborated with the Mexican government to establish the camp. She said that after a week’s time none of the refugees there “are even close to the end of the program.”
The program, Uniting for Ukraine, was announced by the U.S. government April 21. Four days later, Ukrainians showing up at the U.S.-Mexico border were no longer exempted from a pandemic-related rule that has been used to quickly expel migrants without an opportunity to seek asylum for the past two years.
Instead, they would have to apply from Europe or other countries such as Mexico. To qualify people must have been in Ukraine as of Feb. 11; have a sponsor, which could be family or an organization; meet vaccination and other public health requirements; and pass background checks.
Polo said U.S. government officials had told her it should take a week to process people, but it appeared like it was just beginning. Some of the first arrivals had received emails from the U.S. government acknowledging they received their documents and the documents of their sponsors, but she had heard of no sponsors being approved yet.
“These people cannot stay in this camp, because it is temporary,” Polo said. More than 100 of the camp’s residents are children.
Nearly 5.5 million Ukrainians, mostly women and children, have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded its smaller neighbor on Feb. 24, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
Giorgi Mikaberidze, 19, is among the waiting. He arrived in Tijuana April 25 and found the U.S. border closed. He complained that the U.S. government had given so little notice, because many people like himself were already in transit. He went from being just yards from the United States to some 600 miles (966 kilometers) now.
When the U.S. government announced in late March that it would accept up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, hundreds entered Mexico daily as tourists in Mexico City or Cancun and flew to Tijuana to wait for a few days – eventually only a few hours – to be admitted to the U.S. at a San Diego border crossing on humanitarian parole. Appointments at U.S. consulates in Europe were scarce, and refugee resettlement takes time, making Mexico the best option.
Traveling through Mexico was circuitous, but a loose-knit group of volunteers, largely from Slavic churches in the western United States, greeted refugees at the Tijuana airport and shuttled them to a recreation center that the city of Tijuana made available for several thousand to wait. A wait of two to four days was eventually shortened to a few hours as U.S. border inspectors whisked Ukrainians in.
That special treatment ended the day Mikaberidze arrived in Tijuana.
“We want to go to America because (we’re) already here, some don’t have even money to go back,” he said.
Mikaberidze was visiting relatives in Georgia, south of Ukraine, when the Russian invasion occurred and was not able to return. His mother remains in their village near Kharkhov in eastern Ukraine, afraid to leave her home because Russian troops indiscriminately shoot up cars traveling in the area, he said.
“She said it’s a very dangerous situation,” said Mikaberidze, who traveled to Mexico alone.
The Mexico City camp provides a safe place to wait. It was erected inside a large sports complex, so Ukrainians could be seen pushing strollers with children along sidewalks, playing soccer and volleyball, even swimming.
However, the refugees have been warned that while they are free to leave the complex, no one is responsible for their safety. Iztapalapa, the capital’s most populated borough, is also one of its most dangerous.
The Mexican government was providing security at the camp with about 50 officers, Polo said. The Navy had also set up a mobile kitchen to provide meals.
She said they felt safe inside the camp, but were asking the government about the possibility of moving the camp to a safer area.
Mykhailo Pasternak and his girlfriend Maziana Hzyhozyshyn, waited at the entrance to the complex Monday afternoon. Both suffering from an apparent head cold, they planned to move to a hotel for a day or two to try to get some sleep and recover before returning to the camp.
Pasternak had left the U.S. to help Hzyhozyshyn get in. The two had spent several days in Tijuana before flying to Mexico City and arriving at the camp Sunday.
The couple stood out on the streets of Iztapalapa and appeared to be withering under the relentless sun. The couple had known each other for six years.
“She’s my love,” Pasternak said.

Last weekend, I published an article on the best wind apps that are particularly helpful to RVers. Our readers had some of their favorites, too, and shared them with us.
Several readers wrote us about the Drive Weather app. If so many RVers recommend this app, we thought you should know about it.
Drive Weather
Diane Mc. commented, “Drive Weather is my favorite. Gives you seven days of information and will show different routes. Everything from the wind, to temps, type of weather: rain, snow, thunderstorms, fog, hail, freezing fog/rain, smoke, haze, dust/sand, funnel cloud as well as blue skies, overcast and in between. And depending on which of these, the app will tell you if it’s definite, likely, chance, light, moderate, or heavy. Some of this is free, some is under the $9.99/yr. subscription. Well worth 10 bucks. Has helped us many times.”
Pat L. agrees. “Drive Weather works wonderfully for wind, precipitation, and temperature over your whole intended driving route and it will also show how it changes over the next few days. Very useful.”
I decided to heed their advice and download Drive Weather. After using the free addition, I decided to try the $9.99 a year version. Wow! I am impressed. Instead of having to search for place after place, I could do a route and see the weather, temp and wind day by day, hour by hour. Nice!
PredictWind
Lee E. suggests PredictWind. PredictWind shows marine and land weather forecasts globally.
Driving
Add these tips to your wind arsenal as well:
- If driving in the wind, slow down until you feel comfortable. Know that others (particularly truckers) may not like your slower speed, so try and stay above the minimum speed and make sure you move over to let others pass.
- Anticipate wind breaks under bridges and trees, and be prepared to respond accordingly.
- Stop and wait it out!
Parking or camping
- When parking, try to have the wind at your back, not directly on the side.
- Pull in your RV’s slides on the windy side to avoid tearing the slide topper and reduce RV rocking. You may need to bring in all slides for safety.
- If dusty, close the windows! It is amazing the amount of dirt the wind can drive through screens.
- Watch the weather reports and always know where the closest shelter is. Here’s a list of RV parks with storm shelters.
- Have a NOAA emergency weather radio handy. These radios also have a solar charger with a USB jack, a LED flashlight, an earbud jack, and an SOS alert. They’re good to have!
Use these handy wind apps and tips on your next windy day!

Re “Once dead, twice billed: GAO questions COVID-19 funeral” (April 28):
No surprise at a finding of fraud of $4.8 million in government. Surprised that it is reported from “COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Fund.” Who knew that those dying with COVID can get funeral expenses from FEMA? I guess many since $2.1 billion has been spent (FEMA website, April 12). The families of innocent kids killed in inner cities do a Go Fund Me page. Maybe test them after death to see if they had COVID since the program is still available. I don’t like to be snarky, but taxpayers paying funeral expenses for someone who died of COVID is bizarre to me.

California’s worsening water supply issues
Re “California’s ineffective and costly approach to water” (April 27):
Susan Shelley’s latest complaint about “artificial” water shortages, once again, is based on the false notion that there are no serious consequences to building expensive and dangerous water projects to get around worsening water supply issues. It needs to be repeated: there is no free lunch. Desalinization is extremely expensive and poisons the ocean; if we build such plants all along our coasts, we will risk killing off the sea life that the whole world depends on for food and oxygen. The climate crisis shows the danger of such short-sighted actions. Water-storage projects often presume that businesses and residents upstream will accept losing the water they currently depend on, usually not true. As I drive around town, I see countless silly grass lawns next to businesses and homes. There are many other examples of water extravagance that could be painlessly reduced. This would make a lot more sense than spending tax dollars to encourage wasteful practices.

Musk, Trump, Twitter and freedom of speech
It would seem that Elon Musk has just surpassed Donald Trump as the American most hated by the left. Those who claim to embrace democracy are apoplectic about Musk buying out Twitter and the fear of “misinformation” being spread. Never mind the fact that anything the left disagrees with is labeled “misinformation.” The mere thought of an open forum where all opinions are represented is driving them mad. They are actually using the argument, and this is truly Orwellian, that a “unmonitored” social media platform is actually totalitarian. And of course don’t forget the fear of “White supremacy.” That’s a given. Now, anyone with an IQ above 40 and most of their brain still intact can tell you that in every single totalitarian regime, the first thing they do is censor opinions they don’t like and control information. This is exactly what the left in America is doing. No difference. I’m absolutely amazed how people living in a relatively free society can still be swayed and indoctrinated to the point where they actually believe freedom of speech, that pesky First Amendment, is a threat to democracy. George Orwell really knew what he was talking about.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein
Re “Democrats’ knives are out for Sen. Dianne Feinstein” (April 21):
Competency, not age, should be the criteria for elected officials. Neither should gender, ethnicity, or other identifiers be primary considerations for community leadership. If all things are equal and excellence is the goal, then subjective choices may be appropriate for the social harmony and cohesiveness of a work environment. As we’ve seen, to do otherwise, and promote unqualified people based solely on their “intersectionality,” is divisive and ultimately counterproductive. As to the argument that older people are needed to identify with the needs of our aging population, this is an assumption and there are no guarantees that this would occur.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — David Perron had a hat trick and an assist to lead the St. Louis Blues past the Minnesota Wild 4-0 on Monday night in Game 1 of their first-round series, one year after he missed the playoffs with COVID-19.
Ryan O'Reilly scored, Torey Krug added three assists and Ville Husso made 37 saves for the shutout in his postseason debut for the Blues, who seized home-ice advantage from a Wild team they've had their way with in recent years.
By blocking 17 shots, clogging the passing lanes and dominating on both special teams, the confident Blues quieted Xcel Energy Center quickly with a 2-0 first-period lead and never let the crowd — that the Wild pushed so hard to play in front of to start the postseason — become a factor.
Perron scored on each of the first two power plays for St. Louis. The Blues went 6 for 6 on the penalty kill for the greatest source of frustration for the Wild on a night marked by up-close misfires and clanged posts. They had a 55-28 edge on the Blues in shots attempted over the first two periods, but 14 of them went wide of the net.
Game 2 is here Wednesday night, before the series shifts south to St. Louis.
Marc-Andre Fleury got the nod in goal for the Wild over All-Star Cam Talbot, who went 13-0-3 in his last 16 starts. Fleury, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and three-time Stanley Cup champion, was acquired in a trade with Chicago on March 21.
The Wild were insistent there was no bad decision to make and that both goalies would be needed throughout the postseason, but if they don't get their special teams on track this might be a short run. The Wild set franchise records for wins (53) and points (113) to nudge past the Blues for second place in the Central Division, despite a power play that ranked 18th in the NHL and a penalty kill that was 25th in the league.
Fleury started strong with a pad save on a penalty shot by Ivan Barbashev, but Perron put the Blues on the board less than 3 minutes later. After Brayden Schenn checked Wild defenseman Matt Dumba to the head and knocked him over, Jordan Greenway was called for roughing to give the Blues their first power play. Perron scored on a rebound just before the extra-skater time expired.
Fleury stopped 27 shots.
Husso was picked over Jordan Binnington, who backstopped the Blues all the way to the Stanley Cup title as a rookie in 2019. For the first game, at least, the inexperience once again didn't matter in the St. Louis net.
Perron has plenty of time on ice when the moments are the most tense, with 92 career playoff games coming into the series. None last year, though, because he had to sit out with the virus while the Blues were swept by Colorado.
Perron bounced back in a big way against his friend and fellow Quebecois Fleury, who played with him on the Vegas team that reached the Stanley Cup finals in 2018 and with Pittsburgh in 2015.
NOTES
The Blues held defenseman Marco Scandella (lower body) out with an injury that occurred in their second-to-last regular season game. Niko Mikola took his place on the third pair. ... Defenseman Alex Goligoski was the most notable healthy scratch for the Wild. ... The last time the Wild had home-ice advantage for the playoffs in 2017, the Blues won the first two games in Minnesota and took the series in five games.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Increasing orders from four Chinese firms — Xiaomi, OPPO, Bitmain, and Horizon Robot — are set to bring Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s (TSMC) China-based revenues to levels not seen since 2020, when the company scrapped Huawei from its customer list.
As of the first quarter of this year, profits coming from Chinese customers made up 11% of TSMC’s global revenue. This marks a significant increase from last year, when Chinese firms represented just 6% of the total, per a TechGenyz report.
As several Chinese firms rush to get orders in for TSMC’s 28 nm, 7 nm, 6 nm, and 4 nm processes, TSMC predicts its China sales for this year could reach 2020 levels, when China made up 22% of the total. The world’s leading chipmaker anticipates revenue from China could rise to more than NT$250 billion (US$8.5 billion) next year.
Despite China making strides in cutting-edge chip design, it remains heavily reliant on TSMC for fabricating a range of cutting-edge chips. UNISOC, for instance, has placed orders with TSMC for 6 nm and 12 nm mobile chips as well as 5 nm and 7 nm chips for ZTE’s 5G base stations.
Handset-maker OPPPO is leaning on TSMC’s 6 nm process to deliver over 10 million units of its new self-designed AI-powered image neural processing unit MariSilicon X. Meanwhile, Horizon Robotics, which makes AI chips for smart cars, is looking to TSMC to fabricate its upcoming Journey 6 series chips, which will run at over 400 Tera Operations per Second, unlocking Level 4 autonomous driving, which needs little to no human interaction. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4526310 | 2022-05-03T05:15:48Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4526310 | true | 1 |
Asian shares were mixed in light “Golden Week” trading Tuesday with markets in China, Japan and some other countries closed for holidays.
Investors are watching to see what the U.S. Federal Reserve does as it accelerates efforts to curb inflation. The central bank is expected to raise short-term interest rates by double the usual amount when it releases its latest statement on Wednesday. It has already raised its key overnight rate once, for the first time since 2018, and Wall Street is expecting several big hikes in coming months.
That will make it more costly to borrow — for a car, a home, a credit card purchase and may weaken the economy. It also would draw investments out of stocks into other assets as their yields rise. Ultra-low interest rates helped drive stocks to unprecedented highs during the pandemic and now that process is being reversed.
Central banks in many other countries are also raising rates to try to bring price increases under control.
The Reserve Bank of Australia was due to decide on a rate hike later Tuesday. New Zealand has begun raising rates, as have some other central banks in the region apart from Japan and China, where economic recoveries have been slowed by efforts to tame recent outbreaks of coronavirus.
“For the session ahead, traders will be working on positioning ahead of the FOMC (Fed) and watching the RBA Meeting, where much firmer-than-expected . . . consumer price index data in Australia may have pitched the scales towards a rate hike," Anderson Alves of ActivTrades said in a commentary.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was nearly unchanged at 7,348.40.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.1% to 21,114.25 and the Kospi in South Korea rose 0.2% to 2,693.38.
On Monday, a late-afternoon turnaround led by technology stocks left major indexes moderately higher on Wall Street, averting more losses following a brutal April when widespread tech sell-offs dragged down major benchmarks.
The S&P 500 rose 0.6% to 4,155.38, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3% to 33,061.50. The Nasdaq climbed 1.6% to 12,536.02.
Smaller company stocks also reversed course after spending much of the day in the red. The Russell 2000 index rose 1% to 1,882.91.
Bond prices fell, pushing yields higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was at 2.98% after rising to 3.00% on Monday. It hadn’t been above 3% since Dec. 3, 2018, according to Tradeweb.
The uneven start to May follows an 8.8% skid for the benchmark S&P 500 in April led by Big Tech companies, which started to look overpriced, particularly with interest rates set to rise sharply.
Just over half of the stocks in the S&P 500 closed higher, with the technology and communication sectors driving much of the advance. Chipmaker Nvidia and Facebook's parent company, Meta Platforms, each rose 5.3%.
The broader market often bends to the direction of technology stocks. Many companies in the sector have pricey stock values and therefore have more force in pushing the major indexes up or down.
Still, it's unusual for tech stocks to rally at the same time that bond yields are rising. That's because higher yields make bonds increasingly attractive assets relative to more risky and expensive stocks, particularly those of technology and other growth-oriented companies.
U.S. crude oil prices rose. European energy ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss Russian supply issues and sanctions. Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted a jump in already high oil and natural gas prices.
U.S. benchmark crude oil lost 21 cents to $104.96 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It gained 48 cents to $105.17 per barrel on Monday.
Brent crude shed 21 cents to $107.37 per barrel.
Concerns about rising inflation have been hanging over the latest round of corporate earnings. This week will bring more, with Pfizer reporting results on Tuesday, CVS Health on Wednesday, and Kellogg on Thursday.
In currency trading, the dollar was at 130.00 Japanese yen, down from 130.15 yen on Monday. The euro rose to $1.0516 from $1.0505. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Asian-shares-mixed-in-light-Golden-Week-trading-17143417.php | 2022-05-03T05:16:06Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Asian-shares-mixed-in-light-Golden-Week-trading-17143417.php | true | 25 |
<p class="rbig">ussian President Vladimir Putin might undergo cancer surgery while temporarily handing over power to the secretary of the country's security council Nikolai Patrushev, unverified media reports claimed.
Putin has reportedly been told by doctors that he must undergo an operation, the New York Post reported citing a Telegram channel purportedly run by a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service lieutenant general.
The anticipated surgery and recovery are expected to incapacitate Putin for "a short time," the report said.
Referring to Putin's supposedly "sickly appearance and uncharacteristically fidgety behaviour in public" in recent times, the report said that the Russian president has been rumoured to suffer from cancer and a host of other serious maladies, including Parkinson's disease.
However, a US official said that the media reports could not be verified with Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby saying on Monday that "I have seen nothing that could help us corroborate that," New York Post reported.
<p class="rbig"> few days ago, Putin allegedly had a two-hour "heart-to-heart" conversation with Nikolai Patrushev, the report said citing a Telegram post.
"We know that Putin signalled to Patrushev that he considers him to be practically his only trusted ally and friend in the government," the post claimed.
"Additionally, the president promised that if his health takes a turn for the worse, actual control of the country will temporarily pass into Patrushev's hands."
"Patrushev is an outright villain. He is no better than Vladimir Putin. Moreover, he is a more cunning, and I would say, more insidious person than Vladimir Putin. If he comes to power, Russians' problems will only multiply," the owner of the Telegram channel which claimed about Putin's cancer surgery said.
"Putin is unlikely to agree to hand over power for a longer period of time," the Telegram channel further claimed, adding that the control of the country will likely be in Patrushev's hands for no more than two to three days.
<p class="rbig">ussia's Security Council, of which Patruchev is the secretary is an influential body that answers directly to Putin and issues guidance on military and security issues within Russia, the New York Post reported, adding, that, most of the council's power is vested in Patrushev, who is widely seen as a staunch Putin ally.
Like Putin, Patrushev is a career Russian intelligence agent, first with the Soviet KGB, then later with the Russian FSB, the report said citing Moscow Times.
Last week, in a rare interview with state-run Russian paper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Patrushev accused America and Europe of backing neo-Nazi ideology in Ukraine and seeking to draw the conflict out "to the last Ukrainian," the report said.
<p class="rbig">"Using their henchmen in Kyiv, the Americans, in an attempt to suppress Russia, decided to create an antipode of our country, cynically choosing Ukraine for this, trying to divide essentially a single people," he reportedly said.
Questions over the Russian president's health have been raised in recent weeks, especially after he was seen tightly gripping a desk during his meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu last month. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/putin-to-undergo-cancer-treatment-handover-power-to-loyalist-reports/20220503.htm | 2022-05-03T05:21:05Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/putin-to-undergo-cancer-treatment-handover-power-to-loyalist-reports/20220503.htm | true | 12 |

CANBERRA, Australia — An Australian man was sentenced to 12 years and seven months in prison Tuesday for the 1988 murder of an American who fell off a Sydney cliff that was known as a gay meeting place.
The death of mathematician Scott Johnson was initially called a suicide, but his family pressed for further investigation. A coroner in 2017 found a number of assaults, some fatal, where the victims had been targeted because they were thought to be gay.
Scott White, 51, pleaded guilty in January and could have been sentenced to up to life in prison.
Justice Helen Wilson said she did not find beyond reasonable doubt that the murder was a gay hate crime, an aggravating factor that would have led to a longer sentence. She also said she applied more lenient sentencing patterns in place in New South Wales state in the late 1980s.
He must serve at least eight years and three months in prison before he can be considered for parole.
White was 18 and homeless when he met 27-year-old Los Angeles-born Johnson at a bar in suburban Manly in December 1988 and went with him to a nearby cliff top at North Head.
White's former wife Helen White told police in 2019 that her then-husband had bragged about beating gay men and had said the only good gay man was a dead gay man.
She told the court on Monday that her husband had told her Johnson had run off the cliff. Scott White told police that he was himself gay and frightened that his homophobic brother would find out.
Wilson said it was not possible to draw any conclusions beyond reason doubt about what had happened at the clifftop.
"The offender hit Dr. Johnson, causing him to stumble backwards and leave the cliff edge," Wilson said.
"In those seconds when he must have realized what was happening to him, Dr. Johnson must have been terrified, aware that he would strike the rocks below and conscious of his fate," Wilson added. "It was a terrible death."
Wilson did not accept the defense lawyers' argument that Helen White had been motivated to report him to police by a reward.
Under cross-examination on Monday, Helen White denied she had been aware of a 1 million Australian dollar ($704,000) reward for information on Johnson's murder when she went to police in 2019. She said she only became aware of a reward when the victim's brother, Steve Johnson, doubled the sum in 2020.
White had a record of violent crime before and after the murder but had not committed any offense since 2008.
"It should be understood that the court is not sentencing a violent and reckless young man for a targeted attack on a gay man," Wilson said.
"Because of the lapse of time, the offender is no longer the same angry young man who raised his fists to another on the edge of a cliff. Neither is the court imposing a sentence for a crime motivated by hatred for a particular sector of society. The evidence is too slender to support that," Wilson added.
She said a sentence for the same crime today would be "much higher."
White's lawyers have appealed his conviction and hope he will be acquitted of the murder charge in a jury trial.
A coroner ruled in 2017 that Johnson "fell from the clifftop as a result of actual or threatened violence by unidentified persons who attacked him because they perceived him to be homosexual."
The coroner also found that gangs of men roamed various Sydney locations in search of gay men to assault, resulting in the deaths of some victims. Some men were also robbed.
A coroner had ruled in 1989 that Johnson had taken his own life, while a second coroner in 2012 could not explain how he died.
John has studied at Universities in California and at Cambridge in Britain before moving to Australia in 1986 to live with his Australian partner Michael Noone.
They lived in Canberra where Johnson studied at the Australian National University which posthumously awarded him a PhD. He was staying a Noone's parents' Sydney home when he died.

Bartlesville Council Approves Water Intake Change Order
The Bartlesville Council approved a change order for the Caney River Raw Water Intake project among other items at its Monday night meeting. Water Utilities director Terry Lauritsen gave an update on the project and said there are items that were not in the original scope of the project that needed to be addressed.
The change order included multiple items that totaled just over $102,000. Even with these modifications the project remains under the budgeted amount of $1.5 million. Lauritsen talks about how this will affect the length of the project.
Crossland Heavy Contractors is doing the work on this project. The pump station being modified is located just to the east of Kiddie Park on the bank of the Caney River. This intake structure was initially built in the 1940s.
This project was one of the capital projects that was approved last fiscal year through the Water Distribution Capital Reserve Fund.

Roth IRAs are a favorite type of account among retirement savers because, when used properly, investors pay minimally in taxes. That is of course if they follow the rules and plan ahead.
Retirement Tip of the Week: Traditional IRAs are tax-advantageous tools, but so are Roths — especially for young individuals and those who anticipate higher tax rates later in life.
Traditional IRAs are a great option for people who expect to earn less in retirement. The money is invested with pre-tax dollars, which means contributions feel fuller when invested and are taxed at distribution. People who anticipate they’ll be in lower tax brackets in retirement would therefore want to withdraw from a traditional IRA when they’re in as low as a tax bracket as possible.
See: When a traditional IRA makes sense over a Roth account
Conversely, Roth IRAs are an ideal solution for people who are in low tax brackets now and expect to face higher rates in the future. The money is contributed with after-tax dollars, but when distributed properly they are invested tax-free. This could be the right choice for people who are just starting out in their careers.
Roth IRAs also make sense for investors who expect the government to raise tax rates by the time they enter retirement. The current tax rates are expected to end in 2026, though it is uncertain if any changes to tax laws would happen beforehand.
Some investors are closely watching what this administration and future administrations may do — so much so that people have already begun converting portions of their traditional IRAs to Roth accounts to avoid paying more in higher tax brackets in the future. (Legislators have proposed ending Roth conversions for people in higher income brackets, though it’d be another decade before that rule would begin if it were passed.)
Unlike traditional accounts, Roth accounts do not have any tax deductibility features. But they do have a perk unlike their traditional counterparts – they do not have required minimum distribution rules, which is when account holders would otherwise need to begin taking withdrawals from their accounts if they hadn’t already started by age 72.
Also see: Why I won’t do a Roth IRA conversion – even if this is the last chance
Roth IRAs do have rules regarding distributions. For example, an investor’s contributions are always available tax-free, but any conversions and earnings must meet certain guidelines before they’re eligible to be withdrawn tax- and penalty-free.
Roth accounts must be opened for five years and an individual must be 59 ½ years old for most qualified distributions to occur, but there are exceptions, such as disability or death, or $10,000 toward a first home purchase or medical insurance premiums while unemployed. Nonqualified distributions face a 10% additional tax.
Investors should take careful note of when and how much they contribute as each conversion or rollover contribution has its own 5-year rule based on the year they were made, the IRS said.
Similarly to traditional IRAs, account holders have until Tax Day to contribute to their IRA on behalf of the prior year. For example, someone who hasn’ maxed out their IRA in 2021 (which was $6,000 for people under age 50 and $7,000 for those 50 and older) had until Tax Day in 2022 to contribute to last year’s limits, though they would have had to specify that’s how they wanted the money used to their investment firm.
Tax Day for 2022 may be over now, but it’s one tip to keep in mind for next year if you’re bogged down with other financial obligations the rest of this year.
MarketWatch hosted a “Mastering Your Money” virtual event, which included sessions on various important personal finance topics. During one session, reporters and editors tackled some of the most controversial personal finance decisions, including when to invest in a traditional IRA or Roth IRA, if leasing or buying a car makes most sense and why you may or may not want to go with a Health Savings Account.

NEW YORK: Kim Kardashian shut down the Met Gala red carpet Monday in one of Marilyn Monroe's most iconic dresses, a gold-beaded body hugger Monroe wore when she sexily sang happy birthday to President John F. Kennedy 60 years ago.
Kardashian had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress, designed by Jean Louis and purchased in 2016 by the Ripley's Believe or Not! museum in Orlando, Florida, for a whopping $4.81 million.
"It was such a challenge," she said. "I was determined to fit it."
The dress originally cost $12,000. It was so tight Monroe had to be sewn into it when she purred "Happy birthday, Mr. president" on May 19, 1962, at a Madison Square Garden fundraiser. She died three months later. It has been known as the "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" dress ever since.
Kardashian, with boyfriend Pete Davidson at her side, paired the dress with Cartier white gold drop diamond earrings and a furry short white jacket she kept strategically low to cover her backside. Her hair was platinum and pulled tightly into a bun.
Earlier, Blake Lively smiled for the cameras in a grand Atelier Versace gown, with husband Ryan Reynolds in brown velvet, Billie Eilish went with an upcycled green lace-trim dress from Gucci and Cynthia Erivo wore sheer white Louis Vuitton with a matching head piece as the Met Gala returned to its berth on the first Monday in May after years of pandemic upheaval.
The celebration of American design was themed to gilded glamour, sprouting classic black tailed tuxedoes for many of the men and lots of dresses in black and white for the women. Others paid literal homage to New York City, home base for the Gilded Age, and still more shimmered in metallic golds and silver.
"Black and white are THE colors for the evening," said Holly Katz, a stylist and host of the Fashion Crimes podcast.
Lively, one of the evening's co-hosts, wore a bronze and rose gold look that transformed into a shimmery layer of baby blue as a large bow was pulled. Her look drew inspiration from the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the blue ceiling of Grand Central Station.
"Instead of looking to fashion to influence the dress, I looked to New York City architecture," Lively said.
Cardi B, accompanied by Donatella Versace, was an over-the-top golden goddess in a dress of mesh and chains, a fitting birthday for the designer.
Gigi Hadid was more redefined cat woman than golden girl. She wore a tight-as-skin, blood red Latex catsuit with a corseted bodice and huge, heavy quilted coat from Versace. She walked gingerly up the steps.
Lizzo, meanwhile, got the crowd cheering when she played her gold flute for fans watching the parade of fashion outside. She wore a black dress under a stunning gold-embroidered black coat, all by Thom Browne.
Camila Cabello worked a huge white gown with a midriff top, from Prabal Gurung, while Jordan Roth, the theater producer, provided a reveal of his own, removing a black, egg-like shell to a matching bulbous suit, all by Thom Browne. Janelle Monae offered a royal wave in a black and white bedazzled helmet piece and slinky gown with head piece.
"Amazing. I'm proud to be American. I'm proud to be wearing Ralph Lauren. This is gilded glamour from the future," Monae told The Associated Press.
New York Mayor Eric Adams put politics front and center in a tux emblazoned with "End Gun Violence" on the back. Former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was in a Bordeaux-colored gown designed by Joseph Altuzarra with the names of historic women sewn into the hem and neckline. They include Abigail Adams, Shirley Chisolm and Madeleine Albright.
Clinton's last Met Gala was a while ago.
"I told Anna I would come every 20 years," she said.
Vogue livestream co-host Vanessa Hudgens made her way up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a vaguely Victorian black sheer lace gown with a long train by Moschino. She was joined by La La Anthony, her fellow Vogue host who wore a deep red look with cut out shoulders from LaQuan Smith.
"I'm practically naked," Hudgens joked.
Anthony said: "Those stairs are intimidating."
And if the Met Gala's return feels like one of those what, already moments, it is.
It's been just under eight months since the last gala, an annual fundraiser that raises eight-figure sums for the Met's Costume Institute. More than $16.4 million was raised last year. The starry event is the institute's primary budget feeder.
This year's gala coincides with the opening of the second part of a two-part exhibit at the Costume Institute focused on American fashion and style. The evening's dress code was gilded glamour and white tie, a la the Gilded Age, that tumultuous period between the Civil War and the turn of the 20th century known for its robber barons, drama and grandeur.
Some of the stars included extra touches. Gabrielle Union said the red jewels in her hair to go with her silver Versace dress represented the blood shed by people of color during the Gilded Age. The dress included a large red flower embellishment at the waist.
Vogue's Anna Wintour, who has run the gala since 1995, wore feathery Chanel and a jeweled tiara that has been in her family since 1910. She continues as one of the night's honorary co-chairs, along with designer Tom Ford and Instagram's Adam Mosseri. The other official co-chairs for 2022 are Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Eilish wore a custom Gucci corset look of ivory and duchesse satin with green lace and a padded bustle. Erivo's look came with a large train as she held hands with Sarah Jessica Parker, who wore custom Christopher John Rogers, a white and black striped Cinderella ballgown with a towering pink and black feather head piece by Philip Treacy.
Parker's dress was inspired by the work of Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley, the first Black female fashion designer in the White House, a confidante of first lady Mary Todd Lincoln.
Alicia Keys' Ralph Lauren dress was inspired by her native New York City, with a cape evoking the New York City skyline outlined in small hand-placed crystals. Her husband, Swizz Beatz, also a native New Yorker, donned a New York sports jacket.
Keys said her dress was meant to "represent an empire state of mind and a city of gods here tonight."
Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, showed up with his mother, Maye Musk a former model adorned in Chopard pearls and other jewels. Her son went with a classic tux with tails.
Ariana DeBose was resplendent in golden Moschino by Jeremy Scott.
"This guy turned me into a fashion Oscar," she said.
And the gala included a marriage proposal. Former state Assembly candidate Bobby Digi Olisa got down on one knee to pop the question to a stunned Laurie Cumbo, the city's commissioner of cultural affairs.
What's a Met Gala without more than one Kardashian, or six. The entire family showed up, including Kylie Jenner in a white ballgown with a matching hat and big sister Kourtney Kardashian in deconstructed Thom Browne to go with beaux Travis Barker's Thom Browne suit. Kendall Jenner was in black Prada as she played "devil and angel" with Kylie. Sister Khloe Kardashian was in gold Moschino and matriarch Kris Jenner wore canary yellow from Oscar de la Renta, an ode to Jackie Kennedy Onassis - her hair in a '60s flip.
Megan Thee Stallion was also a golden goddess. Her Moschino shiner had wings at the shoulders. Quannah Chasinghorse wore a beaded blue strapless gown created in partnership with Indigenous designer Lenise Omeasoo.
Sans husband Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber walked in an elegant Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello slip dress with a feather-trimmed coat in white.
Katy Perry, usually a showstopper as a cheeseburger and other wacky looks over the years, donned understated Oscar de la Renta this time around.
Teyana Taylor wasn't quite on theme but her dramatic Iris Van Herpen gown certainly made a statement, said Claire Sulmers, a fashion writer and pop culture observer who writes The State of Fashion column on Meta's publishing platform Bulletin. It was a breathtaking purple worn with a metal, cage-like piece around her head and face.
"The drama and metallic adornment certainly made her one of the best dressed of the night," Sulmers said.
While many wore European brands, the American vibe remained, said Rachel Tashjian, fashion news director for Harper's Bazaar.
"Many of the best looks were the most straightforward ones. Kate Moss in a velvet Le Smoking Tuxedo gown, Hailey Bieber in slinky ice-colored silk and marabou feathers, for example. They were both in Saint Laurent, which is of course not an American brand, but the simplicity and directness of their beauty and allure was extraordinarily, well, patriotic," she said.
Todd Snyder, the New York-based designer, appreciated many of the night's interpretations on the white tie dress code.
"Seeing how people pushed beyond the expected interpretation was refreshing this year. I loved Austin Butler in custom Prada swapping the classic bow tie for a silk scarf over a cropped tux jacket. Ryan Reynolds and Rege Jean Page reminded us of the elegance of velvet in a tux. While the era from the outside was opulent, Riz Ahmed's statement of wearing a workwear inspired outfit to represent the immigrant workers that kept the Gilded Age going is a statement that must not be forgotten."

Salt Lake City, Utah- (ABC4 News) – The Supreme Court has privately voted to overturn Roe v. Wade according to a leaked draft opinion published late tonight by Politico.
The apparent draft shows that the panel’s conservative majority of justices is ready to overturn the nation’s abortion.
Utah is one of several states with a trigger law in place in the event SCOTUS overturns the landmark case.
State Senator Dan McCay, (R) Riverton, and Carrie Galloway with Planned Parenthood of Utah join us on ABC4 News at 10 with reaction. | https://www.abc4.com/news/utah-officials-public-react-to-leaked-u-s-supreme-court-draft-ruling-to-roe-v-wade/ | 2022-05-03T05:54:05Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/utah-officials-public-react-to-leaked-u-s-supreme-court-draft-ruling-to-roe-v-wade/ | false | null |
SpaceX’s Crew-3 astronauts have been having some fun on the International Space Station (ISS) ahead of their trip home later this week.
Astronaut Matthias Maurer tweeted a video of him and his fellow Crew-3 astronauts performing some carefully choreographed synchronized floating set to Johann Strauss’s famous Blue Danube Waltz.
In a tweeted video (below) of what Maurer described as the “suit fit waltz,” the astronaut commented: “I think I might miss microgravity and these antics.”
In case anyone is wondering how astronauts check their spacesuits 😆 We call this the 'suit fit waltz'. I think I might miss microgravity and these antics with @Astro_Raja, @AstroMarshburn & Kayla. #Crew3 #CosmicKiss pic.twitter.com/mbranaZm6C
— Matthias Maurer (@astro_matthias) May 2, 2022
But there was actually a good reason for the astronauts to don their suits prior to the trip home, as they need to ensure they’re in perfect condition for the journey.
NASA’s Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, and Kayla Barron, along with Maurer of the European Space Agency (ESA), are set to depart the International Space Station on Wednesday before splashing down in the sea off Florida the following day.
The four astronauts have spent the last six months living aboard the orbiting outpost, working on a slew of science experiments, taking part in spacewalks, answering questions from folks back on the ground, and enjoying the amazing views of Earth.
Maurer used Twitter to keep his followers up to date on his time in space. Some of his posts showed regular life aboard the station, including how astronauts get a haircut in microgravity conditions, how they stay fit, and how they get ready for bed. Another of his tweets featured a cool photo of the station’s seven-window Cupola module.
Taking over from Crew-3 is Crew-4, whose crewmembers arrived at the space station last week to begin their own six-month stay in microgravity conditions.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen ISS astronauts performing a little space boogie. Last year we saw ESA’s Thomas Pesquet doing what he described as a “spacewalk dance” that helps to purge the body of nitrogen as part of a pre-spacewalk safety procedure.

Creepy mystery of how two pals & mum vanished without a trace – with only clue being disturbing answerphone message
A PAIR of high school students returned home from a graduation party and were never seen again - with an answering machine message providing one of the only clues.
Suzanne Streeter and Stacy McCall, 19 and 18, vanished alongside Streeter's mum Sherrill Levitt, 47, from their home in Springfield, Missouri, in the US, almost exactly 30 years ago.
Cops remains baffled by the case as decades on no concrete evidence has ever been found to establish what happened to the three women.
The enduring mystery has become known as "The Springfield Three" - and remains unsolved despite more than 5,000 tips to detectives.
And perhaps the biggest mysteries of the case are a "strange" answering machine message and a string of "obscene" phone calls made to the house the morning of the disappearance.
It also became apparent Suzanne was interested in devil worship and satanism - and even dated a boy who had been arrested as part of a grave robbing gang.
But amid these enduring mysteries, cops have found no threads, hair, blood, or DNA to give detectives a solid lead in the case.
Suzanne and Stacy had both graduated Kickapoo High School on June 6, 1992 - and were last seen at around 2am when they headed back after a party to the Streeter's house in East Delmar Street.
The pals were due to go on a trip to a water park their friend Janelle Kirby the following day - but they never showed up.
Sometime between 2am and 7.30am on June 7 - they vanished along with Sherrill.
The pals had actually been due to stay with Janelle, but decided the house was too crowded so headed back to Stacy's to spend the night.
Most read in The Irish Sun
Janelle, her boyfriend Mike and Stacy's mum Janis went to house after the duo failed to show up the next morning.
But when they arrived - they had little idea they were stumbling into a crime scene.
"You say 'I love you' again on the phone and I had no idea that was the last time I was going to hear her voice," Janis told True Crime Daily in 2017.
With no sign of Suzanne, Stacy, or Stacy's mum Sherrill, they explored the house - and chillingly there was a ringing from the phone.
Janelle answered the phone - and one the other end was a man's voice who made a series of vile "sexual innuendos".
She then hung up, but the phone rung again - and it was another "strange and disturbing" sexual prank call.
Janis described the calls as "lewd sexual content" and "very rude".
It was obvious something was very wrong - with the women nowhere to be seen and all three of their cars were still on the drive.
And later that day there was another strange and obscene message left on the house's answering machine.
But it was automatically deleted by the device after it had been listened to - potentially destroying evidence.
Cops believe this answering machine message may have contained a vital clue to the disappearance of The Springfield Three.
As they explored the house, the strangeness of the scene became apparent to them.
The glass lamp shade on the porch was shattered, and the family dog Cinnamon was locked outside and appeared agitated.
Money, clothing, keys, cigarettes and other personal items were all left behind and there did not appear to be any obvious signs of a struggle.
All three women's purses were lined up and neatly sitting on the floor of the living room - including Sherrill's which was holding $900.
The girl's graduation gowns were found in Suzanne's bedroom with the TV left on.
They had taken off their make-up and left their jewellery by the sink.
No other clothes appeared missing, so it seems the women vanished in whatever bed clothes they were wearing overnight.
With no clues as to what happened to the trio, Janis called the police and reported them missing as night began to fall.
Sixteen hours after the women were last seen - detectives arrived and found the crime scene had already been contaminated by up to 20 people as worried friends and family assisted with the search.
The worried pals had unwittingly destroyed potential evidence - including sweeping up the shattered porch light.
Cops tried to recover the strange answering machine message, but had no luck - saying there was "nothing they could do".
And with that one of the most important potential leads was lost.
Captain Tony Glenn told News-Leader: "The only thing unusual about this house was that three women were missing from it.
"You had this feeling as you looked around that something was missing, that something had to be missing.
"But there wasn't. Just them."
Detectives began to research the background of the missing people, and found that Suzanne had unusual interests - having several books about satanism.
It was revealed she had dated a local "bad boy" who had been arrested for breaking into graves and stealing gold teeth from skulls.
But he was quickly tracked down and there was nothing found to link him into the case.
Cops received a lead two weeks later when a member of public spotted a woman driving a van just two miles away from the house.
It was said the woman looked like Suzanne.
The caller said she looked scared and a man was heard threatening her from the back seat of the green panel van.
But despite this potential breakthrough, it ended up coming to nothing as the frustrated police were left at a dead end.
Other leads are pursued - including reports of a drifter with long hair and a full beard spotted lurking near the house.
With the FBI involved, the women's disappearance investigated as potentially the work of a serial killer.
And another tipster claims they saw the three women at George's Steakhouse between 1am and 3am on the night they disappeared.
The vanishing was featured on America's Most Wanted - and featured one key caller who claimed to have inside information about the disappearences.
But the anonymous tip line meant cops could never get in touch with him.
And despite appeals by the police for the man to come forward again, he never did and his mystery remains unknown.
Cops zeroed in some of their inquiries on for US Army veteran Robert Craig Cox - who had previously been on death row before the case against him was dropped.
He worked at the same car dealership as Stacy's dad.
Cox has made a string of contradictory statements about the case, including once claiming he knew the women were dead and where they were buried.
"I know that they're dead, I'll say that. I know that," he told local TV reporter Dennis Graves.
"Yeah, but I just know that they're dead. That's not my theory, I just know that."
Cox then told Graves he wouldn't say anything else until his mum passes.
His parents however have given him an alibi on the night of their disappearance, even though his girlfriend revealed she lied for him over a separate alibi for the morning of June 7.
He was imprisoned for kidnap and robbery in Texas, and was sentenced to death over the murder of Sharon Zellers in Orlando, Florida.
Cox spent nine years on death row - but the Florida Supreme Court later overruled the conviction of the former US Army ranger due to a lack of evidence.
Cops remain unsure over his links to the case - with some suspected he was merely stringing police along by suggesting he had information about the Springfield Three.
The case remains open - and one of the leading theories remains that the women were buried beneath the parking lot of Cox Hospital.
At the time the area was under construction and was an empty dirt lot before being paved over and used to erect the garage.
Ground penetrating radar was used during an investigation in 2007 - and three anomalies in the shape of graves were found.
However, local officials refuse to dig up the area citing cost and damage to the structure.
Prosecutors have also questioned the authenticity of the tip that lead to the find, saying it came from someone who claimed to be "psychic".
The Streeter Family Blogg remains active appealing for information with a £42,000 reward.
"Happy Birthday Suzie. You are loved and missed," the last post reads, which was shared on March 9.
And the FBI still have a missing persons poster available on their website as the Springfield Three remains on the US's most enduring mysteries. | https://www.thesun.ie/news/8734172/springfield-three-disappearance-obscene-answering-machine/ | 2022-05-03T05:56:35Z | https://www.thesun.ie/news/8734172/springfield-three-disappearance-obscene-answering-machine/ | true | 5 |
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — A senior U.S. official warned that Russia plans to annex large portions of eastern Ukraine later this month, and the Mariupol steel mill that has become the city’s last stronghold of resistance came under renewed assault a day after the first evacuation of civilians from the plant.
Michael Carpenter, U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said Monday that the U.S. believes the Kremlin also plans to recognize the southern city of Kherson as an independent republic. Neither move would be recognized by the United States or its allies, he said.
Carpenter cited information that Russia is planning to hold sham referendums in the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics that would “try to add a veneer of democratic or electoral legitimacy” and attach the entities to Russia. He also said there were signs that Russia would engineer an independence vote in Kherson.
He noted that mayors and local legislators there have been abducted, that internet and cellphone service has been severed and that a Russian school curriculum is soon to be imposed. Ukraine’s government has said Russia also has introduced the ruble as currency there.
In bombed-out Mariupol, more than 100 people — including elderly women and mothers with small children — left the rubble-strewn Azovstal steelworks on Sunday and set out in buses and ambulances for the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia, about 140 miles (230 kilometers) to the northwest, according to authorities and video released by the two sides.
Mariupol Deputy Mayor Sergei Orlov told the BBC that the evacuees were making slow progress. Authorities gave no explanation for the delay.
At least some of the civilians were apparently taken to a village controlled by Russia-backed separatists. The Russian military said some chose to stay in separatist areas, while dozens left for Ukrainian-held territory.
In the past, Ukraine has accused Moscow’s troops of taking civilians against their will to Russia or Russian-controlled areas. The Kremlin has denied it.
The Russian bombardment of the sprawling plant by air, tank and ship picked up again after the partial evacuation, Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, which is helping to defend the mill, said on the Telegram messaging app.
Orlov said high-level negotiations were underway among Ukraine, Russia and international organizations on evacuating more people.
The steel-plant evacuation, if successful, would represent rare progress in easing the human cost of the almost 10-week war, which has caused particular suffering in Mariupol. Previous attempts to open safe corridors out of the southern port city and other places have broken down, with Ukrainian officials accusing Russian forces of shooting and shelling along agreed-on evacuation routes.
Before the weekend evacuation, overseen by the United Nations and the Red Cross, about 1,000 civilians were believed to be in the plant along with an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian defenders. Russia has demanded that the fighters surrender; they have refused.
As many as 100,000 people overall may still be in Mariupol, which had a prewar population of more than 400,000. Russian forces have pounded much of the city into rubble, trapping civilians with little food, water, heat or medicine.
Some Mariupol residents got out of the city on their own, often in damaged private cars.
As sunset approached, Mariupol resident Yaroslav Dmytryshyn rattled up to a reception center in Zaporizhzhia in a car with a back seat full of youngsters and two signs taped to the back window: “Children” and “Little ones.”
“I can’t believe we survived,” he said, looking worn but in good spirits after two days on the road.
“There is no Mariupol whatsoever,'' he said. “Someone needs to rebuild it, and it will take millions of tons of gold.” He said they lived just across the railroad tracks from the steel plant. “Ruined,” he said. “The factory is gone completely.”
Anastasiia Dembytska, who took advantage of the cease-fire to leave with her daughter, nephew and dog, said she could see the steelworks from her window, when she dared to look out.
“We could see the rockets flying” and clouds of smoke over the plant, she said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Greek state television that remaining civilians in the steel plant were afraid to board buses because they feared they would be taken to Russia. He said he had been assured by the U.N. that they would be allowed to go to areas his government controls.
More than 1 million people, including nearly 200,000 children, have been taken from Ukraine to Russia since the Russian invasion began, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Monday, according to TASS.
Defense Ministry official Mikhail Mizintsev said that number included 11,550 people, including 1,847 children, in the previous 24 hours, “without the participation of the Ukrainian authorities.”
He said those civilians “were evacuated to the territory of the Russian Federation from the dangerous regions of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics,” and other parts of Ukraine, according to the report. No details were provided.
Also Monday, Zelenskyy said that at least 220 Ukrainian children have been killed by the Russian army since the war began, and 1,570 educational institutions have been destroyed or damaged.
Thwarted in his bid to seize Kyiv, the capital, Russian President Vladimir Putin has shifted his focus to the Donbas, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, where Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian forces since 2014.
Russia said it struck dozens of military targets in the region, including concentrations of troops and weapons and an ammunition depot near Chervone in the Zaporizhzhia region, west of the Donbas.
Ukrainian and Western officials say Moscow's troops are raining fire indiscriminately, taking a heavy toll on civilians while making only slow progress.
The governor of the Odesa region along the Black Sea Coast, Maksym Marchenko, said on Telegram that a Russian missile strike Monday on an Odesa infrastructure target caused deaths and injuries. He gave no details. Zelenskyy said the attack destroyed a dormitory and killed a 14-year-old boy.
Ukraine said Russia also struck a strategic road and rail bridge west of Odesa. The bridge was heavily damaged in previous Russian strikes, and its destruction would cut a supply route for weapons and other cargo from neighboring Romania.
The attack on Odessa came eight years to the day after deadly clashes between Ukrainian government supporters and protesters calling for autonomy in the country's east. The government supporters in 2014 firebombed a trade union building containing pro-autonomy demonstrators, killing over 40 people.
Ukraine claimed to have destroyed two small Russian patrol boats in the Black Sea.
Mariupol, which lies in the Donbas, is key to Russia's campaign in the east. Its capture would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, allow Russia to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops for fighting elsewhere.

New Zealand rocket caught but then dropped by helicopter
Using a helicopter to catch a falling rocket is such a complex task that Peter Beck likens it to a “supersonic ballet.”
Rocket Lab, the company that Beck founded, partially pulled off the feat Tuesday as it pushes to make its small Electron rockets reusable. But after briefly catching the spent rocket, a helicopter crew was quickly forced to let it go again for safety reasons, and it fell into the Pacific Ocean where it was collected by a waiting boat.
The California-based company regularly launches 18-meter (59-foot) rockets from the remote Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand to deliver satellites into space.
On Tuesday, the Electron rocket was launched in the morning and sent 34 satellites into orbit before the main booster section began falling to Earth. Its descent was slowed to about 10 meters (33 feet) per second by a parachute.
That’s when the helicopter crew sprang into action, dangling a long line with a hook below the helicopter to snag the booster’s parachute lines. The crew caught the rocket but the load on the helicopter exceeded the parameters from tests and simulations, so they jettisoned it again.
The roller coaster of emotions was caught in a livestream of the event, with people at mission control cheering and clapping as the rocket was caught, only to let out a collective gasp and sigh about 20 seconds later.
Still, Beck hailed the mission as a success, saying that almost everything went to plan and that the unexpected load issue was a tiny detail which would soon be fixed, a “nothing in the scheme of things.”
“They got a great catch. They just didn’t like the way the load was feeling,” Beck said of the helicopter crew in a conference call after the launch.
He said a detailed analysis should reveal the reasons for the discrepancy in the load characteristics. He said he still hoped the company could salvage some or all of the spent rocket booster, despite it getting dunked in salt water which they’d hoped to avoid.
Rocket Lab named its latest mission “There And Back Again” — a reference to the movie trilogy “The Hobbit” which was filmed in New Zealand.
The company described the brief midair capture at 1,980 meters (6,500 feet) by the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter as a milestone. It says making its rockets reusable will enable the company to increase the number of launches it makes and reduce costs.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX company designed the first reusable orbital rocket, the Falcon 9.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s central bank on Tuesday lifted its benchmark interest rate for the first time in more than 11 years. The cash rate rose from 0.1% to 0.35% in a move potentially damaging to a government that will seek reelection on May 21.
A rise was widely expected after official data released last week showed that Australia’s inflation rose to 5.1% in the year through March. It is the highest annual rate since 2001, when a newly introduced 10% federal consumption tax created a temporary spike.
Inflation in the latest March quarter was sharply higher than the 3.5% three months earlier. The March result was driven by a surge in fuel and housing costs as well as food shortages created by recent Australian floods.
The Reserve Bank of Australia adjusts interest rates to keep inflation within a 2-3% target band. The bank’s Governor Philip Lowe said inflation had increased more than had been expected but remained lower than in most advanced economies.
“The economy has proven to be resilient and inflation has picked up more quickly, and to a higher level, than was expected,” Lowe said in a statement.
“There is also evidence that wages growth is picking up. Given this, and the very low level of interest rates, it is appropriate to start the process of normalizing monetary conditions,” Lowe added.
The cash rate had been at a record-low 0.1% since November 2020.
In November, Lowe said the rate could remain that low until 2024, despite pandemic-induced inflation.
The bank last increased interest rates in November 2010. The cash rate then rose a quarter of a percentage point to 4.75%.
It is the first time that the bank, whose independence of government was enshrined in legislation in 1996, has shifted interest rates during a federal election campaign since 2007.
Two weeks after the benchmark rate rose by 0.25 of a percentage point to 6.75% in November 2007, Prime Minister John Howard’s conservative government was voted out of office after more than 11 years in power.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s conservative government is seeking a rare fourth three-year term at elections on May 21.
The prices of residential properties in Australia surged by 24% last year, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The souring cost of housing has made Australians one of the most indebted populations in the world and ill-prepared for a rise in the cost of money.
Opposition treasury spokesperson Jim Chalmers described the rate hike as a “full-blown cost of living crisis on Scott Morrison’s watch.”
“Scott Morrison’s economic credibility was already tattered and now it is completely shredded,” Chalmers told reporters. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/australian-central-bank-decides-first-rate-hike-in-11-years/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2022-05-03T06:05:17Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/australian-central-bank-decides-first-rate-hike-in-11-years/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | false | 13 |

CRITICAL MATERIALSReviving the National Defense Stockpile Funding
Established during World War II, the National Defense Stockpile (NDS) ensures that the Department of Defense can access key materials necessary to maintain readiness in the event of a major supply chain disruption. Current critical minerals stockpile is inadequate to meet the requirements of great power competition.
Congressmen Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) and Scott Franklin (R-Fla.) are urging the House Committee on Appropriations to revive funding for the National Defense Stockpile of rare earth materials, which is currently at critically low-levels.
Established during World War II, the National Defense Stockpile (NDS) ensures that the Department of Defense can access key materials necessary to maintain readiness in the event of a major supply chain disruption. It includes resources like titanium, aluminum, tungsten, rubber and cobalt. China currently produces more than 60 percent of the world’s rare earth element output.
In a bipartisan letter sent to House Appropriations Committee leadership, Moulton and Franklin write: “Material shortfalls in the NDS pose a critical vulnerability to US national security… In order to recapitalize the National Defense Stockpile, we urge you to support the President’s Budget request for $254 million for the National Defense Stockpile Transaction Fund in FY23.”
Despite its increasing importance to U.S. national security, the NDS Transaction Fund is quickly approaching insolvency. Since the end of the Cold War, Congress has authorized the sale of the majority of the NDS’s stockpiled materials.
The total value of the stockpiled inventory has dropped from $9.6 billion in 1989 ($21.9 billion adjusted for inflation) to $888 million in 2021.
“America can no longer be content to rely on other countries for resources that are essential to our military and technological edge,” Moulton said. “The post-Cold War sell-offs of the National Defense Stockpile are no longer appropriate—and now they are dangerous. Bolstering funding for the NDS will ensure that China and Russia will not dictate where, when, or how we access important critical minerals.”
“Maintaining America’s military edge over adversaries like Russia and China requires critical resources to produce the latest in weapons technology, especially in the case of supply chain disruptions like we have experienced during the global pandemic,” said Franklin. “Our military should not be dependent on the very adversaries we are preparing to defend ourselves from.”

Stats Crunch - NFL Draft edition (Part One)
We have a special two-part edition of Stats Crunch to cover the record-setting 15 Georgia players taken in the NFL Draft
Georgia tied the record for most No. 1 picks overall in NFL Draft history. Yet who were those players involved? What about those other schools? Some pretty impressive names are mentioned below.
Georgia has been on a roll lately when it comes to first round draft picks. Thirteen players have been drafted in the first round since Kirby Smart was named head coach. Now, not all 13 players were recruited by Smart; some were Mark Richt’s players. Same can be said with other draft picks and coaches. So instead, here is a list of Georgia first round draft picks by each decade with the first pick overall in parenthesis.
When the Jaguars selected Travon Walker, it marked the second straight draft in which they have taken a Bulldog. Prior to that, it was 20 years ago when they last picked a Dawg. One common theme of all five Bulldog selections made by the Jaguars is that all came from the defensive side of the ball. Two of the five were selected in the first round.
In case you are curious, Travon was the third “Walker” from the Bulldogs to be selected in the NFL Draft. Later that same evening, Quay became the fourth.
Quay Walker was the first of two Bulldogs that were selected by Packers that day. In fact, three NFL teams selected two Dawgs each. How rare is it for a team to draft two Bulldogs in one draft? Here are the times it has happened since 2005.
Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt became the second pair of Bulldogs drafted by the same team, and also in the first round (Isaiah Wynn and Sony Michel by the Patriots in 2018). This marked three straight picks by the Packers from the first round from the University of Georgia. Last season, Eric Stokes was taken in the first round, 29th overall. Green Bay never took a Georgia player in the first round prior to last year. However, in 1947, the Packers took former Bulldog Ray Sellers in the 29th round. Drafts were different back then.
Nakobe Dean slipped down to the third round before the Eagles selected him in the draft. He's not the only Butkus Award winner who was not drafted until the third round or later. Check out these great linebackers.
Dean will start out his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles, as will Outland Trophy and Bednarik Award winner Jordan Davis (Chuck Bednarik was also an Eagle in his pro days). Davis isn’t the only monster-sized Bulldog to be drafted by the Eagles. These are three of the most recent four draft picks of Georgia players drafted by the Eagles (the only average-size player in this stretch was Brandon Boykin).
Between Travon Walker, Jordan Davis, and Devonte Wyatt, Georgia had three defensive linemen selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. Prior to that, the previous Georgia defensive lineman that was drafted in the first round was Johnathan Sullivan by the Saints in 2003.
While most people thought it was Nakobe Dean that led the Dawgs in tackles last season, it was actually Lewis Cine with 73. Since 1976, Cine is one of five different Bulldogs to have led the Dawgs in tackles in at least one season and was also drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Channing Tindall was taken by the Dolphins in the third round. The Dolphins have selected ten Bulldogs in their history, but Tindall was the second highest in terms of rounds. The number one spot belonged to Outland Trophy winner and two-time Super Bowl champion Bill Stanfill.
Speaking of Super Bowls, when Derion Kendrick was taken in the sixth round by the Rams, it marked the seventh time that the defending Super Bowl Champion drafted a Georgia Bulldog in the following draft and the first time since 2004.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court keeps secrets. Year after year, in major case after major case, there's little beyond what the justices say during oral arguments that suggests how they will rule until they actually do.
That is, apparently, until Monday evening when Politico published what it said is a draft of an opinion in a major abortion case that was argued in the fall. While there have, on very rare occasions, been leaks of the outcomes in cases, the publication of an apparent draft running nearly 100 pages was without an evident modern parallel.
The draft says that a majority of the court is prepared to overrule the landmark 1973 decision, Roe v. Wade, that legalized abortion nationwide. A decision in the case had been expected before the court begins its summer recess in late June or early July, so it could be more than a month before the court actually issues a final opinion. If the court does what the draft suggests, the ruling would upend a nearly 50-year-old decision; its advance publication would also disturb an almost unbroken tradition of secrecy at the court.
The document posted by Politico, which The Associated Press could not independently verify but which some court watchers said appeared legitimate, says the court's opinion is delivered by Justice Samuel Alito. It also says the draft was distributed to other members of the court in February. Alito is a member of the court’s six-justice conservative majority.
Lawyers and others who watch the court closely were shocked. Neal Katyal, who has argued dozens of cases before the court and as a young lawyer worked for Justice Stephen Breyer, compared the apparent leak to The New York Times' 1971 publication of the government’s secret history of the Vietnam War, known as the Pentagon Papers.
“This is the equivalent of the pentagon papers leak, but at the Supreme Court. I’m pretty sure there has never ever been such a leak. And certainly not in the years I’ve been following the Supreme Court," Katyal wrote on Twitter.
Part of the reason the Supreme Court has historically been so leak-proof is that only a handful of people have access to decisions before they're published. That includes the justices themselves and the small group of people who work for them. The justices' clerks, young lawyers who work for the justices for a year and who would be among those who could see a draft opinion, sign pledges of confidentiality.
Still, there have been leaks before, though not of the apparent magnitude of the document posted by Politico. In 1973, for example, Time magazine's David Beckwith reported on the outcome of Roe v. Wade before the decision was published. But because the magazine was a weekly, Beckwith's scoop arrived just hours before the decision was made public.
And in the late 1970s, ABC's Tim O'Brien had a half a dozen scoops on rulings. The reports both astonished and upset the justices, according to a book by Barrett McGurn, the court's former public information officer. It was unclear where O'Brien was getting his information, though then-Chief Justice Warren Burger suspected someone in the court's print shop, who would have had access to the rulings.
It was similarly unclear who might have leaked the apparent draft to Politico or what their motivations might be. The news outlet said only that it had “received a copy of the draft opinion from a person familiar with the court’s proceedings ... along with other details supporting the authenticity of the document.”
University of Georgia professor Jonathan Peters, who has written about leaks at the court, has noted that Roe isn't the only high-profile case where there's been a leak. The New York Tribune, for example, published a “running account of the court’s deliberations in Dred Scott,” the infamous 1857 decision that declared African Americans couldn’t be citizens.
“Supreme Court leaks are rare, but they are hardly unprecedented,” Peters wrote in 2012. “The court, just like our other public institutions, is made up of political animals. We shouldn’t be shocked when they act that way.” | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/court-that-rarely-leaks-does-so-now-in-biggest-case-in-years/article_1c9afc23-38cf-5b57-a387-ea2c148ef9f6.html | 2022-05-03T06:51:41Z | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/court-that-rarely-leaks-does-so-now-in-biggest-case-in-years/article_1c9afc23-38cf-5b57-a387-ea2c148ef9f6.html | true | 39 |
Govt Still Shutting People Out At The Border
“If this Government had any sense of compassion they would allow travellers from non-visa waiver countries to enter New Zealand as well,” says ACT Leader David Seymour.
“New Zealand’s border restrictions gained us an international reputation as a ‘hermit kingdom’. Labour is doing little to shake this label by still preventing people from non-visa waiver countries from coming to New Zealand.
“It’s wonderful to see our borders opening back up and people returning after a long, drawn-out process, but spare a thought for the hundreds of thousands of Kiwis who can’t welcome their friends and family to New Zealand by virtue of where they were born.
“Tourism Minister Stuart Nash described yesterday as our “reconnection with the world”. But as is often the case with this Government, the spin never matches up with the reality and if you happened to be from India, Sri Lanka or China, you were not welcome.
“I asked Nash when we can expect New Zealanders from non-visa waiver countries to be able to welcome friends and family back. He refused to answer.
“667,000 New Zealanders were born in non-visa waiver countries – 14 per cent of our population.
“Immigration New Zealand might claim they can’t keep up with a full re-opening of the border and need time to prepare, but the reality is that they’ve had two years off to improve systems, clear backlogs, process relevant visas and have managed to do none of that.
“ACT says we truly need to move on from COVID fear and really reconnect with the rest of the world.” | https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA2205/S00025/govt-still-shutting-people-out-at-the-border.htm | 2022-05-03T06:55:58Z | https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA2205/S00025/govt-still-shutting-people-out-at-the-border.htm | false | 1 |

CAMPBELL, Calif., May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Information Display (SID) today announced the winners of its 28th Annual Display Industry Awards. The 2022 Display Industry Award (DIA) recipients reflect the ever-evolving display product landscape and represent a wide range of technological advancements with products designed to make devices that are more sustainable, economical, and engaging while providing users with a more dynamic visual experience. The honorees are receiving awards in conjunction with SID's annual Display Week, held in San Jose, California, May 8-13, 2022. Display Week is the world's leading event focused on emerging electronic display and visual information technologies from concept to market.
The 2022 Display Industry Award winners embody the profound level of innovation within the industry and exemplify how crucial displays have become to nearly every aspect of daily life.
"We continue to see a broad range of innovations coming from the display industry," said Wei Chen, chair of the DIA Committee. "The miniLED backlight technology helps to push the performance of LCDs to a new level for electronic tablets, notebook computers, as well as LCD TVs. Foldable display technology continues its rapid pace of improvement.
"Breakthroughs in display components, such as high-acuity reflective polarizers and air-stable quantum dots, are expected to jump start the growth of high-performance VR displays and expand the usage of quantum dots in TVs, respectively," he added. "This year's awards also recognize the enhanced experiences electronic displays bring to cars and the innovative use of LED displays to enable a virtual production environment for movies and television."
Among the industry's highest honors, the Display Industry Awards highlight innovations that have advanced the state-of-the-art in display technology, with awards presented in three categories: Displays of the Year, Display Components of the Year, and Display Applications of the Year. The seven winners, divided into three categories, were chosen by a distinguished panel of experts who evaluated the nominees based on degree of technical innovation and commercial significance, as well as potential for positive social impact.
The award-winning products and innovations are listed below:
Displays of the Year
This award is granted to display products with the most significant technological advances or outstanding features.
Apple: Liquid Retina XDR Display in iPad Pro and MacBook Pro
The Apple Liquid Retina XDR Display on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro features extreme dynamic range with 1,000-nit full-screen-sustaining capability and 1,600-nit peak high luminance, with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. A DCI-P3 wide color gamut with 1 billion colors delivers rich and vibrant colors. ProMotion display technology, with variable refresh rates within 24–120 Hz, delivers a responsive viewing experience. Ultralow reflectivity helps users stay focused on the content, even in high ambient lighting conditions. Each display is carefully calibrated in the factory, and when combined with color management that's built into iPadOS and macOS, the Liquid Retina XDR Display delivers an optimal viewing experience. The Apple Liquid Retina XDR Display performance is enabled by a new 2D mini-LED backlight, not only in the design, but also in the manufacturing. With its incredible color, brightness, and contrast performance enabled by design innovations, the Apple Liquid Retina XDR Display brings the extreme dynamic range experience to a whole new level.
Samsung Display: Foldable display with Eco2 OLED
Eco2 OLED is a technology that removes the polarizer, which is used to reduce the reflection of external light and integrates its functionality into the OLED panel layer. The Eco2 OLED display is eco-friendly by reducing the use of plastics. The new integrated polarizer brings foldable displays into the future and delivers the same luminance as conventional displays without stressing the battery. Also, Samsung's Eco2 OLED delivers the best color performance of any smartphone display (DCI-P3, 125 percent; REC 2020, 91 percent). With improved transmittance, the integrated polarizer also achieves advanced color purity. As a first for smartphones, it has an ingress protection (IP) rating of IPX8 that safely keeps it protected from accidental spills. The IPX8 grade can withstand up to 30 minutes of fresh water at a depth of 1.5 m. In addition to 200,000 folding tests at conventional room temperature, it passed 30,000 tests at –20°C (–4°F) and was internationally certified by the Bureau Veritas. Samsung Display's Eco2 OLED technology also is available for other applications, such as laptops.
Display Components of the Year
This award recognizes novel components that have significantly enhanced the performance of a display. A component is sold as a separate part destined to be incorporated into a display. A component may also include display-enhancing materials and/or parts fabricated with new processes.
3M: High-acuity reflective polarizer (HARP) lens
The 3M HARP lens integrates a birefringent reflective polarizer used to produce compact, mid-field-of-view (FoV) eyepieces and wide-FoV optics for virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays using folded optics in the lens configuration. Multiple configurations for folded optic lens systems may be optimized, with varying performance relative to refractive systems. Polarization control is an important consideration, and different components cause different polarizing effects. Further, there are additional benefits of using folded optics in designs for mid- and wide-FoV in VR systems. Some devices both transmit and reflect light. One-way mirrors and mirrored sunglasses achieve this feat, but they use half-silvered mirrors to remove some light and transmit the rest. 3M uses reflective polarizers (based on its proprietary multilayer optical film technology) and quarter-wave plates to reflect or transmit light based on the polarization state: one polarity of light is reflected and the other is transmitted.
BOE Technology Group: 86-inch chip-on-glass active-matrix miniLED backlight unit
The active-matrix (AM) driving glass substrate technology adopted by the chip-on-glass (COG) miniLED backlight unit from BOE is based on semiconductor technology and using a glass substrate through BOE's lateral processing technology. Glass is more suitable for making LED backlight arrays with dense arrangement and heat concentration. The miniLED unit is directly bonded to the glass substrate to realize the high-speed transfer of the LED chips and can realize precise, independent dimming control of the backlight unit. Compared with the traditional edge LED backlight, there are five advantages of the COG AM miniLED backlight unit. The technology has an ultrahigh brightness of the backlight, the peak luminance of the LCD with a COG AM miniLED backlight unit can reach 1,500 nits, and users can view a clear picture even in a bright environment. With 2,000 to 5,000 zones, the light control is more accurate and exquisite, and the contrast ratio of the LCD can be significantly improved to 1,000,000:1.
Nanosys: xQDEF diffuser plate with air-stable quantum dots
The Nanosys xQDEF Diffuser Plate brings together the color and brightness performance of QDEF QD technology with the precise light diffusion necessary for perfect contrast levels in miniLED and full-array local-dimming LCDs. As a direct replacement for diffuser plate components in direct-lit LCDs, the xQDEF Diffuser Plate simplifies the display assembly process, allowing display makers to design and build the most cost-effective displays with the widest color gamut. Compared with other wide color gamut solutions, the xQDEF Diffuser Plate implementation results in close to no additional material costs. The xQDEF Diffuser Plate has been enthusiastically embraced by the display industry. By the end of 2021, more than a million TVs with xQDEF Diffuser Plates inside shipped into the market, and the future for air-stable QDs is bright.
Display Applications of the Year
This award acknowledges novel and outstanding applications of a display, where the display itself is not necessarily a new device.
Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) Hyperscreen
The curved large MBUX Hyperscreen is the first automotive series pillar-to-pillar unit and is the highlight in the new electric architecture Gen.2 interior program. A smart combination and integration of three innovative displays behind one curved cover glass merge almost seamlessly to create a customer experience of more than 141 centimeters appearing as one visual unit. The MBUX Hyperscreen contains a 12.3-inch (2,400 × RGBW × 900) LCD with direct-matrix backlight as instrument cluster display, a 17.7-inch (3,088 × RGB × 1,728) corner-cut plastic OLED as a central information display, a 12.3-inch (2,400 × RGB × 900) plastic OLED as a front passenger display, and a driver-monitoring infrared stereo camera and illumination with face and eye tracking technology located in the LCD notch area, required for advanced driver-assistance features.
Sony PCL, Sony Co., and Sony Innovation Studios: Crystal LED virtual production system solution
Sony has developed an LED Virtual Production (VP) system that enables a novel approach to film production. It works by displaying volumetrically captured images on its new direct-view "Crystal LED" B-series display as a background image, allowing for shooting of that background image with live subjects with its digital cinema camera, "VENICE." The combined volumetric image then is edited and rendered through "Atom View," a point-cloud rendering, editing, and coloring software solution from Sony Innovation Studios. Image perspective can be synchronized with camera motion, and the process, when viewed as a new production system, provides a new and efficient workflow for film and other content production. The VP system allows filmmakers more creative freedom with accurate color reproduction without color-shifting, and fewer artifact image problems such as moiré pattern and scan lines. These characteristics enable a photorealistic background image and freedom of camera motion.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Nearly six years after Israel accused Mohammed el-Halabi of diverting tens of millions of dollars from an international charity to Gaza's militant Hamas rulers, he has yet to be convicted in an Israeli court and is still being held in detention.
World Vision — a major Christian charity that operates around the world — as well as independent auditors and the Australian government have found no evidence of any wrongdoing. El-Halabi's lawyer says he has rejected multiple plea bargains that would have allowed him to walk free years ago. Closing arguments ended in September.
The prosecution has requested another hearing Monday to extend his detention.
The explosive allegations resemble those made against six Palestinian rights groups last year. In each case, Israel publicly accused organizations of ties to militant groups without providing much evidence, sending shudders through their donors and partners and leading some to cut ties.
Critics say Israel often relies on questionable informants. They allege that Israel smears groups that provide aid or other support to Palestinians in order to shore up its nearly 55-year military occupation of lands the Palestinians want for a future state.
Lior Haiat, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said Israel stands by the allegations against el-Halabi, which are “well established and rely on concrete evidence.” He said the defense had deliberately prolonged the trial after the prosecution rested in May 2018, allegations rejected by el-Halabi's lawyer.
“Israel does not aim to intimidate (non-governmental organizations), nor to keep them from operating in Gaza,” Haiat said. “But we definitely aim to prevent transfer of NGO money that should be helping the people of Gaza in to the hands of a terror organization like Hamas.”
After el-Halabi's arrest, World Vision suspended its activities in Gaza, where over 2 million Palestinians live under an Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed when Hamas seized power nearly 15 years ago. Israel says the restrictions are needed to contain Hamas, while critics view them as a form of collective punishment.
World Vision said its entire Gaza budget over the previous 10 years was $22.5 million, making the alleged diversion of $50 million “hard to reconcile.” El-Halabi had been appointed manager of its Gaza operations in October 2014, less than two years before he was arrested.
World Vision worked with several Western donor countries to construct an independent audit. World Vision declined to name the auditors because of a non-disclosure agreement, but last year the Guardian reported that it was undertaken by the international accounting firm Deloitte and DLA Piper, a global law firm.
Brett Ingerman, a lawyer with DLA Piper who headed the investigation, confirmed its role in the audit. He said a team of around a dozen lawyers, including several former assistant U.S. attorneys, reviewed nearly 300,000 emails and conducted over 180 interviews. A forensic accounting firm scoured nearly every financial transaction at World Vision from 2010 until 2016, he said.
In July 2017, they submitted an over 400-page report of their findings to World Vision, which shared it with donor governments. World Vision said it offered the report to Israel, but Israeli authorities refused to sign the non-disclosure agreement. The Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the audit.
The report found no evidence that el-Halabi was affiliated with Hamas or had diverted any funds. In fact, Ingerman said it revealed the opposite.
“We had story after story of el-Halabi enforcing controls at World Vision and encouraging employees not to interact or transact with organizations that were even suspected of being affiliated with Hamas,” he said.
The Australian government conducted its own review, saying it found no evidence any of its funding to World Vision in the Palestinian territories was diverted to Hamas. Australia was the biggest single donor to World Vision’s humanitarian work in Gaza, providing some $4.4 million in the previous three fiscal years, according to its Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
World Vision, which operates in nearly 100 countries and annually distributes some $2.5 billion in aid, said it fully supports el-Halabi. "We’re waiting here for an acquittal because it’s the only logical outcome,” said Sharon Marshall, a spokeswoman for the organization.
“It's far past time for him to be home with his family.”
Maher Hanna, el-Halabi's defense lawyer, said Israeli authorities have offered him multiple plea bargains that would have allowed him to walk free in exchange for pleading guilty to lesser charges, a routine tactic in trials of Palestinians.
“He is not willing to admit to things he didn’t do," Hanna said. The defense lawyer was allowed to see the classified evidence, which he declined to discuss, saying only that it was “extremely unreliable and problematic, and does not prove anything.”
Hanna also rejected any allegations of foot-dragging as “beyond unfair,” saying the court scheduled sessions months apart and made it difficult for him to call witnesses, including individuals named in the charge sheet.
He blamed Israel for the delay, saying it hoped to avoid the embarrassment of top officials having publicized explosive false allegations. Then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had released a video address repeating the charges at the time, saying they proved he cared more about the Palestinians than their own leaders.
“If facts matter, he will be cleared. If facts don’t matter, he will be convicted,” Hanna said.
Closing arguments wrapped up last September. El-Halabi is still being held in a prison in southern Israel.
"It makes a mockery of due process and the most basic fair trial notions to hold someone for nearly six years in pretrial detention based largely on secret evidence,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at the New York-based Human Rights Watch.
Even if el-Halabi is acquitted, the ordeal may deter other aid organizations from operating in the Palestinian territories.
“We haven’t been able to respond to major needs in Gaza, and that’s where some of the world’s most vulnerable children are," said Marshall, the World Vision spokeswoman. “Other organizations that don’t have the organizational resources that we have to absorb a hit like this, they just can’t risk that kind of problem.” | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Aid-worker-held-in-Israel-for-6-years-insists-17143523.php | 2022-05-03T07:27:07Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Aid-worker-held-in-Israel-for-6-years-insists-17143523.php | false | 16 |
Germany summons Turkish envoy over Kavala verdict
Germany summoned Turkey's ambassador in Berlin on Friday to protest a sentence of life in prison that a Turkish court handed to a prominent Turkish civil rights activist and philanthropist.
Western governments and rights groups strongly criticized this week's ruling which found Osman Kavala guilty of attempting to overthrow the government with mass protests in 2013. The court in Istanbul also sentenced seven other defendants to 18 years in prison each for “aiding” the attempt.
Christofer Burger, a spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry, said Turkey's envoy was summoned for talks Friday morning.
He told reporters in Berlin that Germany had urged other European Union countries to make a similar diplomatic protest.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the Turkish court's ruling “blatantly contradicts the constitutional standards and international obligations that Turkey commits itself to as a member of the Council of Europe and EU accession candidate.”
"We expect Osman Kavala to be released immediately -- the European Court of Human Rights has bindingly obliged Turkey to do so,“ Baerbock said. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2587236326423/germany-summons-turkish-envoy-over-kavala-verdict | 2022-05-03T07:27:10Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2587236326423/germany-summons-turkish-envoy-over-kavala-verdict | false | 36 |
New Delhi [India], May 3 (ANI): The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Government of Uttarakhand to take appropriate action for the rehabilitation of the affected persons and restoration of the affected area in the forest fire that recently took place in Champawat Division in Uttarakhand.
The Bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel in an order passed on April 29 said, "We consider it appropriate to direct the Secretary, Forest, Uttarakhand to look into the incident of fires mentioned in the media report and take appropriate action for rehabilitation of the affected persons and restoration of the affected area, as per current schemes, utilizing the CAMPA Funds, available with the State."

[U: Available in Canary] Google Chrome’s password manager is adding a new section for notes – 9to5Google

@NexusBen
Password managers are a key form of online security, and Google makes it rather easy to get started with a password manager built right into its popular Chrome browser. As that feature continues to get more important, Google is now adding room for notes on the Chrome password manager.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Notes are not an uncommon part of other password manager services, such as LastPass and 1Password, which leave room for notes on password listing as well as supporting full notes as their own listings.
That’s a functionality Google is now adding to Chrome. As spotted in the latest Chrome Canary release by u/Leopeva64, this new feature adds a simple “Notes” field to Chrome’s password manager underneath the username and password fields. The option appears both when you go to edit an existing password or when adding a password for the first time. It’s a useful feature for giving context to the account, housing security questions, or other bits and pieces of information.
As mentioned, this feature is currently limited to Chrome’s latest Canary release, but it should come in a stable release in due time. The feature is currently tied to the Chrome 101 release, which would arrive in the Stable channel around April or May. But, being a Canary feature, there’s no guarantee it will follow that exact schedule.
Update 3/17: Google has now added a flag in the latest Chrome Canary release which allows users to easily enable this functionality (via @Leopeva64).

Rebels & Oil Kings set for Central Division clash in second round of 2022 WHL Playoffs
The Central Division-champion Edmonton Oil Kings will have their hands full as they prepare for a second-round series with the Red Deer Rebels.
The 2022 WHL Playoffs second-round series was confirmed Sunday evening after the Rebels advanced by defeating the Brandon Wheat Kings in triple overtime of Game 6 of their first-round series.
This marks the first time since the 2011 WHL Playoffs that the two Central Division foes will meet in post-season play.
A tightly contested regular season series saw both teams get five wins. The last meeting between the two Clubs came on April 16 and it went into the books as a 3-2 regulation win for the Oil Kings. The two teams met four times during the month of April, splitting those contests down the middle. The Rebels won back-to-back games against Edmonton on April 2 and 3 – both one-goal games, including an overtime affair on April 3.
Three players finished with 13 points apiece in the season series, including Dylan Guenther (4G-9A) for the Oil Kings, and Ben King (7G-6A), and Arshdeep Bains (4G-9A) for the Rebels.
Between the pipes, Detroit Red Wings prospect Sebastian Cossa saw action in eight games, going 3-3-1-0 with a 2.25 goals-against average, and .922 save percentage. For Red Deer, Connor Ungar recorded three wins in six appearances, while Chase Coward secured two wins in five outings.
The Oil Kings advanced to the second round of the 2022 WHL Playoffs earlier this week after completing a first-round sweep of the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
Game 1 of the best-of-seven series between the Oil Kings and Rebels is scheduled for Thursday, May 5 at 7 p.m. MT (Rogers Place). The series will head south down Alberta’s Highway 2 for Game 3 on Monday, May 9 at 7 p.m. MT (Peavey Mart Centrium).

Stephen Colbert returned to “The Late Show” on Monday after a battle with COVID-19 to tear into Fox News host Sean Hannity amid new revelations about how closely he coordinated with Donald Trump’s White House operations.
Hannity texted Mark Meadows, then chief of staff under former President Trump, on Election Day in 2020 to ask how he could help. When told to push turnout, Hannity replied, “Yes sir,” and asked where specifically he should encourage voters.
“That is a shocking level of toadyism even for a guy who looks like a bullfrog,” Colbert said. “But he’s just living up to the Fox News slogan, ‘We report, you decide what we should say. And by the way, your boot tastes delicious today, Mr. President.’”
Colbert also played a clip of Hannity defending himself by claiming he’s “like the whole newspaper.”
“Yes, Sean Hannity is just like a newspaper,” Colbert said. “Out of date, bad for the planet, and only relevant to people over 70, and I’d love to see a puppy poop on him.”

LAGOS—Tragedy struck Sunday night, in Jakande Estate, Oke-Afa, Isolo area of Lagos, where two lovers were found dead inside a Highlander SUV.
The man, an information technology engineer identified simply as Koyejo, was found in his nude while the lady, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained was half naked.
Residents told Vanguard that the SUV with number plate EPE 666 GE, was sighted on Saturday night at Double Star bus-stop, but they became curious when the car, which ignition was on, remained at the same spot on Sunday night.
Suspecting it could have been stolen, some youths were said to have flashed a torchlight inside the SUV with tinted glass, only to discover the bodies.
One of the residents, who spoke with Vanguard, said: “Koyejo lived at Double Star before he moved to Surulere area of Lagos with his family. He was an IT engineer. He called one of us to inform us that he was in the estate on Saturday.
“We were told he went to pick his girlfriend at Isolo on Saturday night. They went to Moshalashi bus stop to buy suya and took some bottles of alcoholic drinks.”
Vanguard was informed that when Policemen from Ejigbo, who were alerted, arrived the scene, the side door behind the driver’s seat was the only door opened, while others remained locked.
Late Koyejo’s body was already peeling.
He was found in a sitting position with his trouser and shirt laid on the space between the driver and passenger’s seat. The lady on her part was found lying on her face, with blood dripping from her nose.
When an acquaintance of late Koyejo put a call to his widow, who was unaware of the calamity, she informed that she had not been able to reach her husband since Saturday night.
Policemen from Ejigbo division drove the SUV with bodies of the lovers to the Isolo General Hospital morgue, at 10.20 p.m., where they deposited their remains. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/engineer-lover-found-dead-inside-car-in-lagos/ | 2022-05-03T07:47:02Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/engineer-lover-found-dead-inside-car-in-lagos/ | false | 1 |
