Fans tuned in to the season 14 premiere of Real Housewives Of Atlanta, Sunday night, and were introduced to somewhat of a new face on the popular reality TV franchise. In addition to longtime ‘RHOA’ castmember, Marlo Hampton landing a peach this season, 4x Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross made her debut. But this isn’t her first time on reality TV. Sanya Richards-Ross had a reality TV show Glam & Gold in 2013.
The Jamaican-American track and field athlete became a household name during her historic Olympic run. Ross was named the IAAF 2006 and 2009 Female World Athlete of the Year. Ross retired in 2016 following a toe injury that resulted in increasing pain each performance season.
Ross is making her return to the spotlight, giving fans a deeper look into her personal life as she navigates her career, marriage, and mommyhood on ‘RHOA.’ There’s so much to know about the track star turned reality TV personality, keep scrolling to get the deets on Sanya Richards-Ross.
She’s A 4x Olympic Gold Medalist
Sanya Richards-Ross became the first female athlete in history to win gold in the women’s 4 x 400m relay at three consecutive Olympics as part of USA’s team that reigned supreme in the event at the Athens (2004), Beijing (2008), and London (2012) Summer Games. She also earned an individual gold medal in the Women’s 400m at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Sanya previously won the bronze medal in that event at the 2008 Summer Games. (Bravo)
She Has One Child
Sanya Richards-Ross and her husband, former NY Giants player Aaron Ross, welcomed their first and only child — Aaron Jermaine Ross II — into the world in 2017, a year after she announced her retirement from competing. Sanya and Aaron have been married for over 19 years.
“The hardest part of mothering has been the ‘mommy guilt’ I feel when I have to leave for work,” she told PEOPLE in 2018. “I know it’s important for me to continue doing the things I love to do, and one day it will set a great example for my son but it doesn’t make it any easier. I hate missing even the smallest of milestones.”
She Believes She Was Misdiagnosed With Behcet’s Syndrome
According to ESPN, Ross was diagnosed with Behcet’s syndrome and spent five years fighting the autoimmune disease until she visited a new doctor, who gave her a new diagnosis and new treatment.
Per MayoClinic, “Behcet’s (beh-CHETS) disease, also called Behcet’s syndrome, is a rare disorder that causes blood vessel inflammation throughout your body. The disease can lead to numerous signs and symptoms that can seem unrelated at first. They can include mouth sores, eye inflammation, skin rashes and lesions, and genital sores. Treatment involves medications to reduce the signs and symptoms of Behcet’s disease and to prevent serious complications, such as blindness.”
After switching treatment, Sanya admitted, “I feel as healthy as I’ve ever felt.” She went on to say, “I’m not being treated for Behcet’s anymore. I’m really excited about that but I still have a little time to go.”
She’s A New Peach Holder
As a businesswoman, mother, wife, and history maker, Sanya was the perfect addition to the RHOA cast. While she has formed friendships with all the ladies, Sanya recalled the great advice Kandi Burruss gave her about filming.
“Kandi just told me, she’s like, ‘Be yourself,’” Sanya shared during an E Online interview. “She also told me about showing up late. The first event I went to with the Housewives, I got there about 30 minutes late and I realized Atlanta’s ‘fashionably late’s about an hour, hour and a half. I was still early.” When asked if she was told the golden rule, she responded, “Don’t leave the table, don’t miss a beat,” Sanya responded. “Yes, I got that advice early.”
She Is An Author
Sanya Richards-Ross released her memoir Chasing Grace: What the Quarter Mile Taught Me About God and Life, in 2017. One of the standout revelations was the former Olympian got an abortion days before the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
“I made a decision that broke me, and one from which I would not immediately heal from. Abortion would not forever be a part of my life. A scarlet letter I never thought I’d wear.”

Tacoma Daily Index
If you’ve driven around Tacoma recently, you’ve certainly seen seemingly endless construction projects, blocked streets, workers, and yes, rail-line grooves across neighborhoods and streets.
But it is not truly endless – in fact it is just beginning.
Or at least our use of it is just beginning.
Yes, those rail lines will soon be occupied by paying (more on that later) customers.
Once in operation, sometime early in 2023, Tacoma’s Link will run from the Tacoma Dome, through downtown, the Stadium District and end at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
The extended route will include one relocated station and six new stations along MLK mostly between Tacoma General and St. Joseph’s.
Passengers on the new line will have immediate access to Wright Park and major medical facilities.
New cars
Besides a change in fare structure, five new cars will be added to the existing system.
Each of the eight-foot-wide, 66-foot-long cars is designed to carry more than 100 passengers with seating for up to 26 passengers (and standing room for about 75 more) with accessibility seating for passengers and designated spaces for bikes, strollers and wheelchairs.
No need for a schedule
These new trains will run every 10 minutes, with an expected daily ridership of 2,000 – 4,000 daily riders by 2026. You can find maps, updates and time lines here: https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion/hilltop-tacoma-link-extension.
Tacoma transit nerds can see a full photo gallery of the new trains here.
Fun Fact
The Tacoma Link was Sound Transit’s first working light rail line when it opened in 2003.
Tacoma’s Link will connect to the larger system, featuring connections to Sea-Tac, downtown Seattle, the University of Washington and other points north eventually.
You can see details on that progress here: https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion/tacoma-dome-link-extension.
Tacoma will be the southernmost point of Sound Transit.
No longer free
A defining characteristic of Tacoma’s Link has been that is has always been free for riders.
That is about to change.
An ORCA card is a must-have for riding the new Tacoma Link line.
The ORCA card is your region-wide access and is all you need to pay your fare on Sound Transit, Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Seattle Street Car, Seattle Monorail, the King County Water Taxi, and Washington State Ferries.
If you don’t have an ORCA card already, you can order one online or buy one directly from any Sounder or Link station.
Each user must have their own card as the card itself shows the user’s status as the holder of a reduced fare or youth card.
You can see the details on fees here.
On a related topic, a new statewide program is in motion to make buses and trains free to all under 18.
It’s not in place yet, but you can see details so far here: https://crosscut.com/news/2022/04/transit-users-18-and-younger-ride-free-under-new-wa-program?
The literal streets of Tacoma are changing
Whether you ride the Tacoma Link or not, the streets of Tacoma are forever changed.
Parking at the Tacoma Dome Park & Ride and catching the Link will get you almost anywhere in the greater downtown Tacoma area.
Whether you work or are looking for entertainment downtown or are a patient, staff or visitor at one of Tacoma’s central medical facilities, the Link can save you all kinds of headaches of traffic and parking.
Personal flying saucer?
And if the Link doesn’t take you where you want to go, and you can afford it, your personal flying saucer could take you to Seattle (or beyond). | https://www.tacomadailyindex.com/blog/tacomas-link-the-next-phase/2454166/ | 2022-05-03T12:02:00Z | https://www.tacomadailyindex.com/blog/tacomas-link-the-next-phase/2454166/ | false | 1 |

Refractive surgery: what is the intervention that Ambra Angiolini also did
There are those who do not mind wearing eyeglasses, indeed they find them a stylish and fashionable accessory, but there are also those he suffers from not being able to see well without glasses and would like not to have to be a slave to it.
One of them is Ambra Angioli who recently underwent, successfully, an operation by refractive surgery to correct vision defects and say goodbye to glasses.
She did it at the age of 44 and was so enthusiastic about it that she dedicated an Instagram story to the surgeon who operated on her and that allowed her to “get back to seeing well, in every sense”, as she herself declared.
But what is the intervention to which the beautiful actress has undergone and which visual disturbances does she correct? We got a few things explained by the Doctor Paolo Sivelli, Surgeon specialist in Ophthalmic Surgery.
Doctor, what is refractive surgery?
“Refactive surgery is a type of surgery that, as the word itself says, corrects refractive disorders, mainly myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. For some years, then, there have been lasers that give the possibility of going to correct too presbyopia, which is not a real refractive vice but which is still a big discomfort. Basically we can therefore say that with refractive surgery – which can be performed with both laser and endobulbar surgery by inserting lenses inside the eye – all vision defects can be corrected “.
Are there any risks or contraindications?
«Refractive surgery has no particular contraindications. Understanding a wide range of surgical interventions, ranging from laser treatments to actual operations involving the insertion of lenses, the risks and complications can change. As a rule, especially in laser surgery, the chances of having post-operative problems are extremely limited because it is a widely used, advanced and surface technology, which therefore does not affect the structures inside, but is limited to simply modeling the cornea. There is therefore no possibility of having intra-bulbar infections or particularly serious complications ».
How to understand, therefore, when the laser is enough and when, instead, a more invasive surgery is needed?
«Obviously it is essential to evaluate each individual case to verify first of all that the anatomical conditions exist to proceed, and then which type of intervention to recommend. To operate in maximum safety, it is necessary to see what the corneal thicknesses are, for example, and to ascertain that pathologies that the patient may not have known about persist. Exams such as fundus, corneal topography, and corneal pachymetry are therefore usually performed. These provide us with a whole series of elements that enable us to offer the best possible result and to be able to guarantee the lowest possible incidence of complications ».
How much does refractive surgery cost?
«The costs of the interventions are extremely variable and they certainly depend on the professional you rely on and on the type of intervention. There are also franchising-style chains that offer low-cost interventions, perhaps because they can count on huge numbers and not extremely up-to-date tools, and on the other hand there are professionals who rely on latest generation machines and which have higher costs also given by depreciation of the devices. The laser, which is by far the most used surgery and which is the same one that Ambra Angiolini also did, allows us to correct more than 90% of defects with excellent results and has a cost that goes from 3,000 to 5,000 euros for both the eyes“.
Here is more information that is good to know before deciding to undergo refractive surgery to correct the defects of the view.

BERLIN — The leaders of Finland and Sweden have indicated that their governments haven’t yet decided whether to join NATO, but stressed close security cooperation with other European countries in the face of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
Speaking Tuesday after a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz near Berlin, Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin said “Russia’s attack on Ukraine has changed our security environment completely” and there was “no going back.”
“We have to decide on whether to apply for NATO membership or continue on our current path,” she said. “That is the discussion we are having now in our national parliament.”
Her Swedish counterpart, Magdalena Andersson, said the Nordic nation’s parliament is conducting a security review that will be presented on May 13.
“The analysis includes future international defense partnerships for Sweden, including a discussion on NATO, and all options are on the table,” she said.
“While our respective security arrangements are of course decided nationally, we coordinate very closely with Finland,” Andersson added.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has said both countries would be welcomed if they decide to join the 30-nation military organization and could become members quite quickly.
The foreign ministers of NATO’s member countries are scheduled to meet in Berlin on May 14-15.

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — A group of 20 children from an orphanage in Luhansk, eastern Ukraine has arrived in Slovenia where they will stay until the end of the war.
Officials said Wednesday that the children are mostly toddlers who travelled together with orphanage staff, doctors, nurses and their families.
The group will be staying near the western town of Postojna and will be granted temporary protection status in the small European Union country.
Local civil protection commander Sandi Curk says “the arrival was quite emotional.” Curk says there have been no problems along the route and that the trip lasted for 24 hours.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Slovakia’s energy minister says the country is not ready to join a European Union embargo on imports of Russian oil as part of a new package of sanctions to be imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Slovakia is almost fully dependent of Russian oil it receives through the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline. Economy Minister Rchard Sulik told reporters Tuesday that the sole Slovak refiner, Slovnaft, cannot immediately switch from Russian crude to any different oil. To change the technology would take several years, he said.
“We will insist on the exemption, for sure,” Sulik said.
European Union leaders are debating Tuesday new proposals for sanctions, which could include a phased-in embargo on oil. The 27 member countries are likely to start debating the plans on Wednesday, but it could be several days before the measures enter force.

STRASBOURG, France — Italian Premier Mario Draghi is calling for Europe to move more rapidly toward greater defense integration following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Draghi told EU lawmakers in Strasbourg on Tuesday that European defense spending “is a deeply inefficient distribution of resources, that blocks the construction of a true European defense.” He called for a conference to improve coordinated of defense spending.
Draghi praised the European Council’s ambitious plan of action to strengthen the EU’s security and defense policy by 2030, but said “it is necessary to go quickly beyond these first steps and construct an efficient coordination among defense systems.”

GENEVA — The World Health Organization’s incident manager for Ukraine says evacuees from the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol “are on the way” toward government-controlled areas away from the most intense combat zones where Ukrainian and Russian forces are fighting.
Dr. Dorit Nitzan, speaking by video to reporters in Geneva from government-controlled Zaporizhzhia, said WHO teams have been among workers from the U.N. and other aid groups who have deployed to help dozens of evacuees — up to 100 — from the plant.
“Things are moving,” she said Tuesday. “We know that they are on the way.”
Nitzan said the U.N. health agency was not clear what kind of health needs that the evacuees would present but that hospitals nearby and trauma teams were on standby to help the arriving evacuees.
The United Nations humanitarian aid coordinator and the International Committee of the Red Cross were leading the evacuation, after securing agreement from Ukrainian and Russian authorities in recent days.
Nitzan said about 100 people have been trickling out in their own vehicles from Mariupol in recent days.

LVIV, Ukraine — The British military says it believes the Russian military is now “significantly weaker” after suffering losses in its war on Ukraine.
The British Defense Ministry made the comment Tuesday in its daily statement on Twitter regarding the war.
It said: “Russia’s military is now significantly weaker, both materially and conceptually, as a result of its invasion of Ukraine. Recovery from this will be exacerbated by sanctions. This will have a lasting impact on Russia’s ability to deploy conventional military force.”
The ministry added while Russia’s defense budget has doubled from 2005 to 2018, the modernization program it undertook “has not enabled Russia to dominate Ukraine.”
“Failures both in strategic planning and operational execution have left it unable to translate numerical strength into decisive advantage,” the ministry said.

LVIV, Ukraine — Satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press show nearly 50 Russian military helicopters at a base close to the Ukrainian border.
The image captured Monday by Planet Labs PBC shows the helicopters in Stary Oskol, Russia, some 175 kilometers (110 miles) northeast of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
The helicopters are stationed on the tarmac, runway and grass of the otherwise civilian airport. Military equipment is stationed nearby to support the aircraft.
Russia has been using its military attack helicopters in its war on Ukraine, flying low to the ground to try to avoid anti-aircraft missiles.
Meanwhile, another satellite image showed a bridge repeatedly targeted by Moscow near the Black Sea port city of Odesa still standing as of around noon Monday. That strategic bridge connects Odesa to the wider countryside and would be key to defending the area.
A breakaway region of neighboring Moldova home to Russian troops nearby has seen a series of mysterious explosions in recent days, raising concerns about the conflict widening.

ROME — Pope Francis has told an Italian newspaper that he offered to travel to Moscow to meet the Russian president about three weeks into the invasion, but that he has not received a response.
Francis was quoted Tuesday by Corriere della Sera as saying his offer to visit Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow was made through the Vatican’s No. 2, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 20 days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He said, “Of course, it would be necessary for the leader of the Kremlin to make available some window of opportunity. But we still have not had a response and we are still pushing, even if I fear that Putin cannot and does not want to have this meeting at this moment.”
Francis said he spoke with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, for 40 minutes by videoconference and for the first half “with paper in hand, he read all of the justifications for the war. I listened and told him: I don’t understand any of this. Brother, we are not clerics of the state, we cannot use language of politics, but that of Jesus. … For this we need to find the paths of peace, to stop the firing of arms.”

KYIV, Ukraine — Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod says his visit to Ukraine's capital showed “the full support from the Danish side” on transfer of weapons, sanctions on Russia, but also humanitarian assistance.
Kofod reopened the Danish embassy in Kyiv and met with his counterpart Dymtro Kuleba and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday. His meetings come as Denmark's neighbors, Sweden and Finland, are debating joining NATO. Denmark is a founding member.
Moscow has warned that such a move would have consequences, without giving specifics. Yet on Friday, a Russian military plane violated Swedish and Danish airspace.
“I have to say to Russia that it’s a sovereign right of each country to arrange themselves when it comes to security. Denmark is not threatening anybody. Sweden, Finland is not threatening anybody,” Kofod told The Associated Press. “It’s totally unjustified if Russia or anybody else is trying to, in a way, violate our airspace (…) or doing some kind of other hybrid attacks on us, this is totally unjustified. And we will, of course, protect ourselves against that.”
Earlier in the day, Kofod visited Irpin in the suburbs of Kyiv to witness firsthand the destruction and devastation.

OTTAWA — Ukraine’s ambassador-designate to Canada says Russia must be held accountable for its troops committing sex crimes, including against children.
Yulia Kovaliv told a Canadian House of Commons committee Monday that Russia is using sexual violence as a weapon of war and said rape and sexual assault must be investigated as war crimes.
She said Russia also has kidnapped Ukrainian children and taken them to Russian-occupied territories and now Russia itself. Ukraine is working with partners to find the children and bring them back.
“Russians, a few days ago, killed a young mother and taped her living child to her body and attached a mine between them,″ the ambassador said. She said the mine detonated.
All of Russian society, and not just President Vladimir Putin “and his proxies,” should bear responsibility for the war on Ukraine because more than 70% of Russians support the invasion, Kovaliv said.

A Connecticut state trooper who fatally shot a man following a high-speed chase in 2020 is expected to be arraigned Tuesday on a manslaughter charge.
Mubarak Soulemane, a Black 19-year-old, had a knife but was boxed in by police and unable to drive away.
Trooper Brian North, who is white, was arrested last month after state Inspector General Robert Devlin found the shooting was not justified. The Connecticut State Police Union plans a march and rally in support of North outside the Milford courthouse on Tuesday morning.
North fired seven gunshots into the driver’s door window of a stolen car Soulemane was in, after a chase Jan. 15, 2020, that ended in West Haven.
Soulemane’s family, the NAACP and other groups said North should not have opened fire because police had Soulemane surrounded and he could not get away. They said North and other officers should have tried to deescalate the situation. Soulemane's mother has a pending wrongful death lawsuit against North and other officers who were at the scene.
A timeline of the events included in Devlin's report says North began firing about 43 seconds after Soulemane crashed and officers boxed him in. Before the shooting, police body cam videos show a West Haven officer smashing out the passenger door window of the stolen car and another trooper shooting Soulemane with a stun gun, which didn't work.
The chase, which reached speeds of up to 100 mph (161 kph) on Interstate 95, had begun nearly 30 miles away in Norwalk after Soulemane tried unsuccessfully to steal a cellphone at a store and stole a Lyft driver's vehicle, police said.
Soulemane's family said that he had schizophrenia and that his mental health appeared to be deteriorating in the days before the shooting.
The state police union has criticized Devlin's findings, saying in a statement that North was forced to make a “split-second decision during these dangerous and rapidly evolving circumstances."
“We believe Trooper North acted objectively reasonable during this violent encounter and we believe a jury will find reasonable doubt and acquit him of these serious charges,” the union said.
North and his lawyer, Jeffrey Ment, have not returned messages seeking comment. North is on paid administrative leave and his police powers are suspended pending the outcome of the criminal case.
North is the third Connecticut police officer to be arrested for fatal shootings dating back to 1998. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Trooper-to-be-arraigned-in-death-of-Mubarak-17143785.php | 2022-05-03T12:08:05Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Trooper-to-be-arraigned-in-death-of-Mubarak-17143785.php | false | 16 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jury on Monday gave a sweeping win to the Kardashian family in former reality TV star Blac Chyna’s lawsuit against them.
The Los Angeles jury found that none of the members defamed Chyna, nor did any interfere with her contract by convincing the E! network to cancel her reality show “Rob & Chyna.”
The four Kardashian defendants — Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner — attended nearly the entire trial, but when the verdict was read all were in New York at the Met Gala, where this year’s theme was “Gilded Glamour.”
Chyna was in court for the verdict. She had no visible reaction.
After about 10 hours of deliberations, the jurors decided on the long jury form that the Kardashians often acted in bad faith, finding that they were not justified in telling the executives and producers of "Rob & Chyna" that Chyna abused their son and brother Rob Kardashian. But they found that it had no substantial effect on Chyna's contract or the fate of the show, and she was awarded no damages.
Executives from the E! network, which aired the show, testified that “Rob & Chyna” ended because the relationship ended, not because of the defendants' actions.
Kardashian attorney Michael G. Rhodes said the family was “exuberant” when he called them with the news.
“They’re very pleased,” Rhodes said. “I hope they enjoy their gala in New York.”
Chyna's attorney Lynne Ciani said that based on her reading of the verdict, “the jury found that Chyna had not physically abused Rob Kardashian,” and “the jury found that all four defendants had intentionally interfered with her contract with the E! Network.”
“We will appeal on the remaining questions,” she added.
The jury was twice sent back to deliberate further when it was found that on some questions in the case against Kylie Jenner the vote had been 8-4 when at least 9-3 was required in the civil case, but they quickly returned with 9-3 votes and the result remained unchanged.
Jurors were considering the defamation case against Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, after a judge threw out the part of the lawsuit against Kim Kardashian in the middle of deliberations.
All four of the women testified during the nine-day trial.
The trial focused largely on allegations that Chyna violently attacked her then-fiancé and reality TV co-star Rob Kardashian on a night and morning in December 2016. He testified that she twice held a gun to his head, wrapped a phone-charging cord around his neck and beat him with a metal rod. She testified that she had put the cord around his neck and held the gun playfully as the two celebrated the renewal of their reality show, and when the celebration turned into a dispute, she was never violent against him.
But the legal questions the jury considered were all about the aftermath of that fight. Jurors had to decide whether each of the defendants knowingly lied about the abuse when they talked about it with the producers and executives overseeing “Rob & Chyna,” or spread word about it with reckless disregard for the truth. And they had to decide for each defendant whether those communications were an illegal interference with Chyna’s contract to appear on the show.
In her closing argument, Ciani argued that it was unreasonable for the four women to have believed that her client violently attacked her former fiancé Rob Kardashian.
“He didn’t have a mark on him,” Ciani told jurors. “There was no call to the police, no trip to the hospital, not even a Band-Aid.”
Rhodes argued during his closing that the women had every reason to believe the accounts of the attack from Rob Kardashian and from Kris Jenner’s longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble, who arrived at the scene and broke up the dispute.
“Do you remember how Rob looked on the stand? His pain was real,” Rhodes said. “This is a real family. Yeah, they’re famous, but they’re real people. He got really badly hurt here.”
It appeared during the trial that Gamble would prove to be the key witness for the defense. But the television executives and producers whose testimony was often technical, and utterly without drama, would prove more important in the jury's findings, which rendered the women's stories of abuse largely irrelevant.
Jurors were free to make it a split decision — finding against some of the Kardashians but not others.
They gave the family a clean sweep instead, and gave Chyna nothing.
She had sought as much as $108 million in the lawsuit. A punitive damages phase that would have been triggered by a plaintiff victory will not happen now.
The 5-year-old lawsuit overcame many obstacles — including motions to dismiss and settlement talks between the two sides — and was a longshot to even get to trial.
But the final obstacle, convincing a jury, proved too much to overcome.
The case isn’t entirely over for Chyna, though. Separate allegations in the lawsuit against Rob Kardashian, with him as the lone defendant, were split into a separate trial that will likely begin in about a week.

In my professional life as a psychologist, I have treated thousands of patients with depression. In every case my immediate question is, “Are there any guns in your house?”
While many people contemplate suicide, the potential of acting on those thoughts goes up exponentially when a gun is in the house, especially a handgun.
The logic of that fact is easy to follow. Suicide attempts and death rates are contingent on the availability and lethality of the means. When the means are lethal, suicide is more likely to be successful. Humans are more likely to act on a thought when it is easy, and having a gun makes it very easy.
Contrast male and female suicide deaths. Men are three to four times more successful in killing themselves because they use guns. Women attempt to end their lives with an overdose of pills or other means and die much less often. Guns are far more lethal. If new gun ownership spreads to women, we, unfortunately, are likely to see an increase in their suicide rate.
This background is critical to understanding why states that have passed laws to make acquiring and carrying a gun easier raise the risk of increased suicide rates.
Past research on this topic has been consistent but typically with few subjects. A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine changed that. It followed 26 million California residents over 12 years and compared those who bought their first handguns with suicide rates in households with no handguns.
“Men who owned handguns were eight times more likely than men who didn’t to die of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Women who owned handguns were more than 35 times more likely than women who didn’t kill themselves with a gun.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 24,432 suicides in the United States in 2018. Three-quarters of them involved handguns. The chances of finding a gun in an American home are about the same as finding a carton of milk in the refrigerator.
Suicides are mostly unseen. They are extraordinarily painful for families but also carry an element of shame. It is rare to see any mention of suicide in an obituary. It’s likely that many suicides are not reported. Homicides, on the other hand, are widely publicized, creating public anger and fear. The difference in emotion is critical in understanding that gun laws are focused on the one-third of handgun deaths that occur in criminal events. Publicity is mainly oblivious to the two-thirds that occur in suicide deaths.
The gun ownership issue plays out dramatically when we compare states with lenient gun laws and concurrent high gun ownership and states with strict gun laws and their lower gun ownership.
California, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Hawaii, Maryland and Massachusetts have the strictest gun laws. They also have the lowest rate of death by gun violence. These states tend to have the lowest level of suicides by handguns, a major part of their lower rate of gun violence.
In contrast, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Louisiana, Wyoming, Alaska, Arkansas and West Virginia have the most lenient gun laws in the United States. They have among the highest suicide rates. These states have recently expanded gun rights. All are likely to see an increase in suicide deaths in the future.
Science and statistics might be strong, but they pale against feelings and tradition. It’s unlikely that gun laws will become stricter in states that have passed more lenient legislation this year. But sharing the high incidence of suicides by handguns can be valuable if people understand the risk and act themselves.
Few people believe suicide will ever occur in their house. Yet it happens in the best of homes. In 2020, suicide rates were highest among adults age 25 to 34 years and 75 to 84 years. This is not the stereotype of only teenagers.
Right now, our country is especially stressed. Depression and anxiety levels are at record highs. It is not a good time to have a handgun in your home. | https://www.gazettextra.com/opinion/columns/pawlicki-places-with-more-lenient-gun-laws-risk-more-suicides/article_e3b1d716-ca50-11ec-a49f-476ad01c6a25.html | 2022-05-03T12:20:38Z | https://www.gazettextra.com/opinion/columns/pawlicki-places-with-more-lenient-gun-laws-risk-more-suicides/article_e3b1d716-ca50-11ec-a49f-476ad01c6a25.html | false | 1 |

Olivia Rodrigo Took Y2K Butterfly Clips To The Next Level At The 2022 Met Gala
We're taking notes from the 2000s beauty trend queen.
Olivia Rodrigo has further cemented her title as the reigning 2000s throwback beauty queen on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet, where she took the concept of Y2K-era butterfly clips to a new extreme. The 19-year-old superstar (and NYLON cover girl) arrived at the annual event at the Metropolitan Museum in New York with waist-length messy curls and huge purple butterflies clipped into the crown of her hair. To match the hair clips, she wore shimmering purple eyeshadow with a lilac mesh metal Versace dress and sheer over-the-elbow gloves.
People on Twitter commented that Rodrigo nailed this year’s Met Gala theme “Gilded Glamour” with her larger-than-life-sized butterfly clips, believing the look was referencing William Shakespeare’s famous quote in King Lear and Megan Fox’s iconic shoulder tattoo, “we will all laugh at gilded butterflies.” Rodrigo’s fans on Twitter have also compared the artist to a woodland fairy, juxtaposing the look with 1917 Cottingley Fairy Photographs. Others argued that she wasn’t on theme and was instead closer to Britney Spears’ iconic Y2K hair looks. No matter what, Olivia’s Met Gala hairdo has us all thinking about butterfly clips in a new way.
Olivia’s butterfly hair clips are also just one of a long line of 2000s trend references from the artist. Her “Brutal” music video, featuring nostalgia-heavy pieces like butterfly clips, pink clip-in highlights, and gothic chokers, inspired 2000s-era enthusiasts everywhere. Rodrigo continued dipping into the well of nostalgic trends for this year’s Brit Awards: At the February 8 ceremony, she wore a very ’90s shade of brown lip liner paired with silver eyeshadow (to match her shimmering Alexandre Vauthier dress) and precise cat-eye eyeliner. The next month, for the 2022 IHeartRadio Awards, the singer opted for school girl snap clips in her nostalgic updo.
Whether Rodrigo perfected gilded glamour or not, her lilac Met Gala beauty look is officially going on our summer moodboard. It also is inspiring fans online to debate whether or not the artist is a real-life fairy — which is understandable considering that she creates red carpet magic. | https://www.nylon.com/beauty/olivia-rodrigo-2022-met-gala-y2k-butterfly-clips | 2022-05-03T12:22:01Z | https://www.nylon.com/beauty/olivia-rodrigo-2022-met-gala-y2k-butterfly-clips | false | 1 |

Op-Ed: Virtual internships and learning experiences are just as valuable as in person ones
When COVID-19 forced us to shift to a new way of doing business, many focused on what was lost in translation to an online format. I was one of them — at first.
As the pandemic picked up steam, our signature global learning programs and fully funded internship and research program at Earlham College were abruptly paused. As our students and faculty shifted to online coursework, many did so for the first time in their young lives or long careers. Virtual internships and online global learning experiences were offered simply to fill the void.
But instead of reading student reflections decrying these as second-rate experiences, I’ve heard a refreshing narrative for the last two years.
“It has helped me spend less while saving more by not having to go to in-person sites where there is a high cost of living,” one neuroscience major told me. “I have been able to continue my summer research experiences remotely during the school year, instead of just having to quit."

Others followed sharing triumphant stories about discovering a newfound focus for their post-graduate endeavors or making connections they never expected due to distance or other obligations.
Now that pandemic travel restrictions are being lifted across the globe, we shouldn’t lose sight of these lessons. We can start by embracing and encouraging young people to pursue virtual internships and online global learning opportunities whenever those options make sense.
Despite missing out on the more esoteric kind of learning when we experience things in real life, many who work in the experiential education space are learning that online internships and virtual study abroad experiences have significant capacity to prepare young people for the world of work while sharpening their worldviews. They also offer more efficient ways for students to chart their path — especially if they aren’t yet ready to travel far from campus or home, pandemic or not.
Two years ago, I couldn’t have imagined writing this. Part of the magic of participating in traditional study abroad experiences is the unexpected moments or epiphanies that come from exploring somewhere new. Living with a host family, roommate or on your own for the first time are important steps toward becoming culturally adaptive and independent. That was especially true in my personal and professional experiences. I studied abroad in Iceland, led off-campus programs in the United Kingdom and visited program sites in places like Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Portugal. These boots-on-the-ground experiences cannot be replicated.
But making important connections with the world beyond our home regions, “touring” locations of historical and cultural significance and learning how to navigate relationships across cultural differences can absolutely be achieved in the virtual space. More than not, I and our students have realized some internships don’t actually need to take place in a cubicle office when they can be carried out virtually anywhere else.

Yet this idea remains uncomfortable territory for my colleagues and me, especially at institutions like Earlham that offer personalized, high-touch learning experiences led by the same professors who grace our classrooms. A national leader in the experiential education space, Earlham ranked in the nation’s top three for the percentage of students participating in study abroad programs, according to the Open Doors report on International Educational Exchange. Indeed, about two-thirds of our graduates study abroad at least once, a stark contrast from the national average of 11 percent.
But more than ever, it is time to think about virtual experiences in the same vein as the in-person ones and strike a balance for students that prepares them for the nuances of the world we live in. In the absence of hiring a team of futurists, career and global education officers in higher education need to hire personnel with a strong abackground in virtual learning and approach their work with an open mind about the value of those experiences. While there is ample expertise in distance learning in higher education writ large, similar expertise in experiential learning leadership is lacking.
While the pandemic has certainly accelerated the need for alternative modes of experiential learning, the real life or bust mentality needs to go once and for all.

A highly-rare leak from the Supreme Court indicated Monday night that justices could soon overturn the 50-year-old precedent of Roe v. Wade, a landmark case that legalized abortion nationwide.
Politico published an early draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion striking down the 1973 case, which would also reverse a subsequent 1992 case — Planned Parenthood v. Casey — that mostly upheld Roe.
In Massachusetts, access to abortion would largely be maintained if the court’s opinion were finalized.
“Abortion is legal” and “will remain legal in Massachusetts,” Attorney General Maura Healey wrote on Twitter following Politico’s report.
“If heaven forbid Roe were to fall, there would be absolutely no interruption in care in Massachusetts because we have protected access to abortion in Massachusetts law,” Rebecca Hart Holder, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, said in 2020.
Her comments came after state lawmakers overrode Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto to pass the ROE Act, expanding abortion access for some teenagers and mothers past 24 weeks of pregnancy.
The 2020 law came in the wake of conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. With the court’s conservative wing now solidly in the majority, abortion activists were forced to seriously consider the prospect of an overturned Roe.
The ROE Act lowered the age to receive an abortion without a parent’s consent or court order from 18 to 16. It also allowed abortion past 24 weeks in the case of a fatal fetal anomaly or if the pregnancy would affect the health of the mother.
It is still unclear how the Supreme Court will ultimately decide. Alito’s draft was written in February, leaving months for justices to shift their votes. No decision is final until it is published by the court.
But “whatever the outcome, the Politico report represents an extremely rare breach of the court’s secretive deliberation process, and on a case of surpassing importance,” the Associated Press noted.
Should Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey be overturned, Massachusetts would still allow abortion up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy, or about five-and-a-half months. After that time the treatment would only be available to preserve the life of the patient or if there’s a fatal fetal anomaly in the child. Abortion pills are also available in Massachusetts for those up to 10 weeks into a pregnancy.
Abortion in the commonwealth may only be performed by a physician, physician’s assistant, nurse practitioner or nurse-midwife.
Patients younger than 16 years old must have parental consent to receive the procedure. However, they may also seek a judicial bypass, in which judge determines if someone under 16 is mature enough to give informed consent to the abortion.

Your sibling asked you to cover their rent for a couple of months while they were between jobs. Or maybe you loaned a friend a few hundred bucks for a car repair they couldn’t afford.
You’d do anything to help those you love. And you did. But what should you do when they don’t pay you back? Consider these options.
GENTLY APPROACH THE SUBJECT
Asking a friend or family member for money back may feel uncomfortable. But sometimes a simple reminder is all it takes to jump-start debt repayment.
Before reaching out, think back to the discussions you had when you offered the money: Did you make it clear that this was a loan, not a gift? Did you confirm payment terms and a deadline? Did you get the details in writing?
Framing the conversation around facts rather than your feelings, or unspoken opinions, can prevent confusion. No matter the context, bring up the issue calmly (and privately) and avoid making assumptions. Using harsh or accusatory language can not only strain the relationship, but it can also make your loved one less likely to pay up.
“What we have to do is create space for that individual to come out of a shame mindset and perspective, and become less avoidant to engage in a healthy conversation,” says Michael Thomas Jr., an accredited financial counselor who teaches in the University of Georgia’s financial planning program.
Acknowledge what’s happening in your loved one’s life and be upfront about your own situation. Then, you can discuss how to move forward. “I think the best approach is just to come at it with a lot of empathy and understanding that you’re both in it together,” says Thomas Nitzsche, director of media and brand at Money Management International, a nonprofit financial counseling and education service.
MAKE OR REVISE A PAYMENT PLAN
Ideally, before lending them money, you’d have made a loan agreement outlining how much the borrower owes, how they’ll pay, when payment is due and what to do if they can’t pay.
If not, or if the person can’t meet the original terms, hash out a new plan. Consider extending their deadline or allowing them to make smaller payments. Thomas says setting up automated payments through a peer-to-peer platform can make it easier to get repaid over time.
A traditional payment plan isn’t the only option. Perhaps your friend or relative could chip away at the balance by periodically covering one of your bills, Nitzsche says, or paying for a meal.
If your loved one is struggling to come up with cash, perhaps they can repay you with service. “Suppose the lender needs a family room painted or new faucets installed. A borrower with those skills might be happy to work off the debt,” attorney Cara O’Neill, a legal editor at Nolo, a self-help legal website, said in an email.
FORGIVE THE DEBT
Working out an arrangement can be stressful, especially if your loved one doesn’t come through. Waiving the debt could be the best move for your peace of mind and relationship. However, you might reconsider giving this person, or anyone, money again unless you’re prepared to lose the amount. Think carefully about how forgiveness would impact you.
Thomas suggests asking yourself: “If I do not get this money back, it’s not just how will I feel, but how will this affect any of my financial goals or anything that I have planned to do with those resources?”
TAKE LEGAL ACTION, AS A LAST RESORT
Thomas doesn’t advocate suing friends or family in most cases. But that path might be worth exploring “if there are large sums of money on the table and there is an individual who you have reason to believe has the capacity to pay,” Thomas says.
It’s important to have evidence on your side, too. You’ll have an easier time proving the case if you have a written contract, O’Neill said. If you think you’ve got a chance, there are a couple of ways to proceed.
“The quickest and cheapest way to get a money judgment is through the small (claims) court system,” O’Neill said. “The judge resolves small court cases in one court appearance, and the filing fee and service of process fees usually cost less than $200.”
If the loan amount exceeds the small claims limit — generally $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the state — the case will take significantly longer and be more expensive, O’Neill said. “The filing fees will be more and the lender might need to retain counsel because the traditional court system is more challenging to navigate without an attorney.”
Even if you get a judgment in your favor, that doesn’t mean you’ll get your money back, Nitzsche says, “particularly if the person who had the judgment against them is on certain types of protected income, like disability or Social Security. That creates an extra wrinkle because you can’t get a garnishment against wages.”
If you go this route, prepare to burn bridges. Will it be worth it if you get your money back? Will it be worth it if you don’t?

Marking National Small Business Week, which is being held this week (May 1st to 7th) in the US, Google has today announced a new scholarship program to help businesses acquire advanced digital marketing knowledge, as well as a new certificate course in digital marketing and eCommerce, designed to address key skills gaps.
Which has become a key focus for many over the past two years.
As explained by Google:
“Three out of four US small-and-medium sized businesses reported that adopting digital tools during the pandemic created new opportunities for their business. And digitally advanced businesses report 20 times better customer acquisition rates. Yet almost half (49%) of small businesses still lack the information and skills needed to use digital tools.”
To address this, Google’s giving away 500 scholarships for Google Career Certificates to train employees.
The scholarships, worth up to $100,000 in workforce training per company, will provide increased opportunity for businesses to train staff in key skills that will help them advance in the modern age.
“Businesses can use Google Career Certificates to train their employees for jobs in data analytics, digital marketing & e-commerce, IT support, project management or user experience (UX) design. No experience is required, and employees can earn an industry-recognized credential in three to six months of part-time study. For every scholarship we give, a business will be gaining capabilities and, at the same time, an employee will be growing new skills.”
Each certificate program can be completed as part-time study, with Google estimating that each will take around 5-10 hours a week for 3-6 months to complete.
The program is available till December 18th 2024, and will provide significant training opportunities for a range of businesses - though it’s only available to US organizations at this stage.
And for Google, it will also help to promote its training programs and tools, with the initial elements coming free of cost, then add-on components requiring different levels of payment.
In addition to this, Google’s also launching a new Digital Marketing and eCommerce Certificate, which is more specifically focused on SMBs and training smaller operators on digital marketing best practices.
As per the video, the course teaches digital marketing and e-commerce skills, including how to find customers, building an online store, measurement and analytics and more.
The courses are run by Google employees who are subject-matter experts, while learners will also get hands-on experience with popular digital marketing and e-commerce tools and platforms, including Canva, Hootsuite, HubSpot, and Twitter, along with Google’s own analytics and ads tools.
Though these courses are not free. Coursera, which is running the new Google training, charges $39 per month after an initial 7-day free trial period. Google says that the certificate can generally be completed in less than 6 months, at under 10 hours per week of part-time study, ‘meaning most learners can complete the certificate for under $300 USD’.
These are some helpful initiatives, which address key areas of demand, and will help businesses adapt to modern market challenges, especially amid the rising interest in eCommerce, boosted by the pandemic.
And with our digital interactions set to become even more immersive, which will transform shopping even further, it’s worth ensuring that you’re on top of the latest trends and shifts, and prepared for the next stage of your business journey.

In this new dedicated social emotional learning (SEL) series, parents, educators, and kids are able to identify, process, and celebrate their emotions in an uplifting way.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, children's mental health was in crisis, with the past few years exacerbating those concerns. With an increased need for mental health resources at home and in the classroom, GoNoodle has partnered with On Our Sleeves®, the movement for children's mental health, to launch the company's first property dedicated solely to social emotional learning (SEL) content: The Mooderators.
In this new six-part series, kids are introduced to peer-aged hosts, Skylar and Clara. The characters meet kids where they are emotionally, and offer the chance for everyone to express themselves in an inviting and uplifting way. The series covers six primary emotions; sadness, excitement, caring, gratitude, anger, and worry, to help kids and their grown-ups with inviting and age-appropriate exercises informed by leading clinical research on the matter. Every aspect of The Mooderators was carefully crafted from an evidence-informed lens, through a partnership of GoNoodle's Content and Development team and pediatric psychologists from On Our Sleeves.
"We're guiding kids on a journey of understanding their emotions in a way we've never done before," says GoNoodle's CEO, KC Estenson. "We saw a need for purpose-built content that actively and intentionally creates a safe space for kids to learn that it's okay to share how they're feeling. We wanted characters to not just help kids identify their emotions, but also equip them with tools to process them. The Mooderators are GoNoodle's loving guides through the complexity and power of emotion in our lives."
GoNoodle and On Our Sleeves made the conscious effort to launch during Mental Health Awareness Month as a way to provide resources for teachers and parents as they support the emotional wellbeing of their children. Alongside each episode, supportive social-emotional activities and detailed curriculum guides will be available to help children practice the skills presented at home or in the classroom.
"Children's mental health was a growing concern across the country before the pandemic, and the past two years has only continued to heighten concerns for many parents and teachers," says Ariana Hoet, PhD, clinical director for On Our Sleeves and pediatric psychologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "It's never been more important to normalize and encourage children to talk about their thoughts and feelings, and one way we can accomplish that is by connecting with kids in innovative, engaging, and meaningful ways. The Mooderators will help do just that through social-emotional learning in the classroom and at home to help kids better understand and process their thoughts, feelings, and emotions necessary for their healthy growth and development. We are so appreciative of GoNoodle for taking on this important subject."
GoNoodle tapped into noteworthy Director, Molly Schiot, whose impressive body of work includes music videos for major artists including Mark Ronson and The Raveonettes, commercials for well-known brands like Levi's and Converse, and a collection of short films, to bring the creative vision to life.
"It was a huge priority to incorporate new creative voices and perspectives into the GoNoodle Universe with this project. We're thrilled to present a series that elevates our already inclusive and supportive content ethos," says Calli Dollinger, Senior Producer, Content and Development, at GoNoodle. "Director, Molly Schiot, and Illustrator/Motion Editor, Lessa Millet, were both crucial in bringing a fresh perspective to the concept. We were lucky enough to work with so many other amazing creatives, including Spike Lee's go-to choreographer, Jasmine Albuquerque. Everyone involved in bringing this concept to life shared a united belief that championing joy in the lives of kids, teachers, and families is imperative now, more than ever."
Weekly in May, one new episode will be released for four weeks with the additional two episodes premiering in the 2022 back-to-school season. All episodes, activities and blogs can be found in the All the Feels channel on GoNoodle, with additional detailed curriculum guides available at OnOurSleeves.org/Mooderators.

At a Monday press conference, the three Democratic senators representing Orange and Osceola counties warned of a tax increase that could come with eliminating The Walt Disney Company’s Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Senators Linda Stewart, Randolph Bracy and Victor Torres denounced the GOP-led Legislature’s repeal as hastily done with little thought to its consequences, including the biggest increase ever in local taxes.
A legislative staff analysis said dissolving the district will leave the counties responsible for its $1 billion in bonded debt.
Torres calls the repeal “a political stunt” by the governor to punish Disney for opposing a law that limits teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity.
“Disney is not the one being punished by this bill. The thousands of workers are,” Torres said. “The taxpayers of Orange and Osceola are going to be punished. All Floridians will be punished if this number one economic industry — tourism — declines because of this bill.”
Republicans have pushed back against the idea that Orange and Osceola county residents will be stuck with Reedy Creek’s debt. Governor Ron DeSantis said last week that Disney will pay the district’s debt and that lawmakers will revisit the issue before the repeal takes effect next year.
Stewart said the “latest word” on the state’s plan puts Disney in a new district controlled by the governor’s appointees.
“I think this is a fight that, if there’s going to be one, that Disney’s going to have to move forward with,” she said. “And I don’t think they’re ready just yet to decide which way they’re going to go. But they will. And I certainly wouldn’t want to mess with Disney.”

A physical chemist and a diverse group of his students are working on applications with nanoscopic diamonds.
Diamonds represent so much more to Abraham Wolcott than glistening gemstones and status symbols. The physical chemist at San Jose State University works with nanodiamonds, which are microscopic diamonds created by breaking apart bigger synthetic diamonds. Nanodiamonds are so tiny that a row of 8,000 of them would span the breadth of a human hair.
What can a scientist like Wolcott accomplish with such tiny gems? Actually, quite a bit.
The carbon matrix of a diamond makes it safe to use in living cells and tissues, which are mostly carbon. Diamonds are also chemically inert, good at transporting heat, and optically transparent – meaning light passes through them readily, according to Wolcott. In brief, their chemical properties make them valuable for a variety of applications, ranging from real-time detection of protein synthesis to quantum computing — while Wolcott adds that the technology is still in its early stages.
But there’s another thing that makes Wolcott’s research on nanodiamonds stand out: His lab is unique in that undergraduate and master’s students at San Jose State University (SJSU) do the bulk of the research, a task that is often reserved for more experienced investigators such as graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and full-time lab technicians. “There’s no more exciting group of people to do research with than the students that I’ve had the pleasure to work with at San Jose State,” he says.
A scientist’s best friend
Despite what you may have learned in high school chemistry about diamonds being pure carbon, Wolcott is more interested in what other elements are doing both inside and outside his nanodiamonds.
He says when nitrogen atoms get trapped within a diamond’s carbon lattice, this impurity creates an open spot, called the nitrogen vacancy center, where a carbon atom should be. When this center is hit with green light, it emits red light, and researchers can then rely on that glow to trace the nanodiamonds as they move throughout an organism, for example.
But whether they’re flowing through the bloodstream or a fiber optic cable, in order to get the diamonds to do what you want them to, “you need to be able to control their surface,” says Wolcott. “And that’s where my lab focuses most of its energy.”
Wolcott’s research group in San Jose is working to attach different chemical groups to the surface of the nanodiamonds. Earlier this year, they published a paper in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters on developing a stable chemical reaction to attach nitrogen-containing chemical groups called amines to the surface of the nanodiamonds by first chemically coaxing bromine atoms onto the surface. The discoveries, which the researchers say could be useful for studying biological systems or in quantum sensors, are also being patented for their potential applications in nanotechnology.
This development was the product of lots of work, and Wolcott is quick to credit students like SJSU senior Tsz “Megan” Cheung, who has been in the lab since her freshman year. Cheung says she was initially interested in Wolcott’s lab because she had heard he allowed freshmen to join his group—and she really wanted to join a lab. Upon joining, she assumed she’d be washing dishes or restocking chemicals but was put to work on a research project almost right away. In fact, according to his students, jumping into experiments soon after joining is often the standard protocol in the Wolcott lab.
Cheung says some of her group’s chemical procedures can take up to five days to complete, which poses a potential logistical challenge since undergrads are generally busy with classes and aren’t expected to be in lab full-time. However, she says clear communication is key on the team. The students coordinate their schedules with one another and work through the reaction like a multi-day assembly line until the reaction is complete.
Nanodiamonds at the beamline
After trying to chemically attach different molecules to the surface of the nanodiamonds, Wolcott’s students need a way to test whether their reactions were successful. For this, they take their chemically-treated nanodiamonds to the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
The synchrotron acts as a “big factory to produce intense X-ray beams,” says staff engineer Sang-Jun Lee. As electrons hurtle through the synchrotron’s storage ring, super-strong magnets cause the beam of particles to wiggle, generating powerful X-rays that are funneled into experimental stations at each beamline. At Beam Line 10-1, an instrument called a transition edge sensor (TES) measures the X-rays coming out of the experimental sample with such fine resolution they can reveal the electronic structure of a substance – that is, patterns in the way its electrons are energetically arranged – says Lee. In the case of the nanodiamonds, TES can detect which chemical groups are present on the surface of the diamond.
Wolcott was among the first pilot users of TES when it was commissioned in 2016 – it was like the “science version of test-driving a Ferrari,” he recalls – and his students have been consistent users ever since, coming a few times a year, says Lee.
For many of Wolcott’s students, even just setting foot on SLAC’s campus is memorable. But they also get hands-on time at the beamline.
“It wasn’t that we were just shadowing and seeing other scientists do the chemistry,” says Cynthia Melendrez, a recent SJSU chemical engineering graduate and first author of the lab’s latest study. “It was incredible to be able to go into SSRL and actually do the experiments.”
Cheung agrees: “It’s hard to describe. You have to physically be there to feel the feeling of what a national lab is like.”
According to Lee, who has worked with Wolcott and his students at the beamline, learning the ropes isn’t easy for first-time users, and training undergraduates to use the beamline is especially rare. But, Lee says, Wolcott’s students have been able to do it – whether by writing programs to run the beamline automatically or by taking eight-hour-long night shifts to maximize the work they can get done during their long-awaited beamtime.
Camron Stokes, who recently graduated from SJSU with a degree in physics, was one of the students working the beamline’s graveyard shift. As a physics major, Stokes admits he was initially apprehensive about joining Wolcott’s chemistry lab.
But getting to work at SSRL was “like a dream come true,” he says. After getting a crash course in TES troubleshooting and working through the night to keep things running smoothly, he still got a sense of the magical feeling of being alone with TES at night. “I felt like it belonged to me,” he remembers. “It was really cool.”
‘You actually get a chance’
Stokes credits his confidence and sense of ownership over his research to Wolcott’s mentorship. “It’s not just that the research is good,” he says. “You actually get a chance.”
In recognition of his nanodiamond work, Stokes was recently given an award from the American Chemical Society’s Division of Colloids and Surface Science and will give an invited talk at the national meeting of the ACS in Chicago in August 2022.
Many people assume undergraduates don’t know enough or aren’t experienced enough to do research, says Meléndrez, who is now a science and engineering associate at SLAC’s LCLS. “But the leap of faith that Dr. Wolcott had [when I was] a freshman was pretty neat.”
Wolcott notes that many SJSU students are first-generation college students and deal with a host of difficult life circumstances while continuing to support their families and attend school. For many, the effort of trying to keep a unified research program running while juggling undergraduate schedules and these extra challenges might not be worth it.
“You could have lowered expectations, and assume, ‘You know, what, I’m going to make the project simple, because that’s what they can handle,’” says Wolcott. “I would consider that to be deficit thinking.”
“To do good science – to do real science – with those types of challenges,” he says, “that’s really what makes it special.”
SSRL is a DOE Office of Science user facility.

‘Very, very unlikely’ Fed can tame inflation without sparking recession, former NY Fed chief says
CNN, CNN BUSINESS
By Matt Egan, CNN Business
The Federal Reserve helped rescue the economy from the worst pandemic in a century. That task may prove easy compared with the Fed’s next mission: crush inflation, without causing a recession.
Achieving a so-called “soft landing” will be challenging because the jobs market is on fire. It’s so hot that the unemployment rate may need to rise to get inflation under control.
“The chances of pulling this off are very, very low because they have to push up the unemployment rate,” Bill Dudley, the former president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, told CNN.
History is not on the Fed’s side.
“In the past, when you’ve pushed up the unemployment rate, you’ve almost never been able to avoid a full-fledged recession,” Dudley said. “The problem the Fed faces is they’re just late.”
Technically, the Fed has the ability to catch up to inflation — by raising interest rates rapidly.
The US central bank is widely expected to announce on Wednesday its first interest rate hike of half a percentage point since 2000. Markets are bracing for a series of large rate hikes to cool off the worst inflation in 40 years.
In theory, the US central bank can raise interest rates as high as needed to put the inflation fire out. But the more the Fed does that, the greater the risk of a miscalculation that prematurely ends the recovery.
“That’s why soft landings are so difficult to pull off,” said Dudley, who led the New York Fed from 2009 until mid-2018. “By the time you know you’ve overdone it, the next thing you know, you’re already in a recession.”
‘Very difficult assignment’
Current Fed officials and some economists express cautious optimism about avoiding a feared hard landing for the economy. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has pointed to soft landings that occurred in 1965, 1984 and 1994.
“I believe that the historical record provides some grounds for optimism: Soft, or at least soft-ish, landings have been relatively common,” Powell said in a March speech.
However, Dudley notes that in those examples, the unemployment rate didn’t actually increase.
Today, the unemployment rate stands at just 3.6%, well within the range the Fed considers full employment. And the jobless rate is likely to keep dipping, perhaps hitting levels unseen since the early 1950s.
“The Federal Reserve has to slow the economy down and generate some slack in the labor market,” Dudley said. “That’s a very difficult assignment to pull off.”
The former Fed official says history shows that when the unemployment rate starts to rise, it typically “provokes a full-blown recession.”
That may be for psychological reasons. “People, once they start to see the job market is deteriorating, they start to get worried about their own job prospects. You pull back on consumption and spending,” Dudley said.
Low recession risks for now?
The good news is that a recession does not appear imminent. And Goldman Sachs, Dudley’s former employer, has been telling clients that a recession is not inevitable.
Still, worries about the economy were reinforced by last week’s gross domestic product report, which showed the US economy unexpectedly contracted during the first quarter.
Many economists say the surprise GDP report reflects temporary factors that overshadowed strong consumer and business spending.
Dudley said GDP went negative because of “some crazy stuff” related to inventories and trade, adding that the underlying demand in the economy is “strong.”
“There is very little chance of recession in the next year,” Dudley said.
Higher than 50% chance of recession in 2023 and 2024
The concern is how the US economy in 2023 and 2024 withstands a series of interest rate hikes that will jack up the cost of mortgages, car loans, credit cards and business loans.
Once the Fed brings interest rates above the neutral level, it will effectively be slamming the brakes on the economy. That’s when the risk of a recession “goes up a lot,” Dudley said, adding that the chance of a recession in 2023 and 2024 is “definitely higher than 50%.”
Of course, the Fed could decide to stop raising interest rates if it fears setting off a downturn.
In some ways that’s what happened in 2019, when the Powell-led Fed halted rate hikes amid slowdown fears. No one knows how that would have turned out because Covid-19 hit in early 2020, forcing the Fed to dramatically slash interest rates.
“The Fed could try to procrastinate,” Dudley said. “But if they do that, inflation will likely come back and then they’ll have to slam on the brakes even harder. Procrastination doesn’t really lead to a good outcome. That just leads to a harder landing down the road.”
‘Policy mistake’
Recession fears today — just two years into this economic recovery — underscore the difficult position in which the Fed finds itself.
Last spring and summer, the Fed shrugged high inflation off as “transitory,” a phrase it has since abandoned. The central bank opted to keep its emergency policies in place, hoping inflation would cool off.
Inflation has proven to be more persistent and broad-based than economists and investors anticipated, in part because of surprises including additional Covid-19 supply disruptions and now the war in Ukraine.
At the same time, the jobs market raced back to full employment faster than expected. Powell conceded in March that, with the benefit of hindsight, “obviously” it would have been appropriate for the Fed to have moved into inflation-fighting mode earlier.
Although Dudley says the Fed deserves “credit” for its “powerful and very fast” response to the pandemic in early 2020, he suggests it also deserves blame for its inflation response.
“They were very, very late in removing monetary policy accommodation,” Dudley said. “That’s going to turn out, in retrospect, to be a bit of a policy mistake.”

Just as it’s a waste of time for Republicans to refight the results of the 2020 election, it certainly does no good for anti-MAGAs to refight what happened in the previous race. Nevertheless, I wince on occasion when I contemplate how our country would’ve been far better served if the popular vote winner in 2016 had ascended to the Oval Office.
Wednesday was one such occasion, truly winceworthy.
While eulogizing Madeleine Albright at the Washington National Cathedral, I was struck by these passages:
“Freedom can’t be taken for granted. Democracy must be defended. Peace must be won. And there is no time to waste doing any of that ... (Albright) continued to issue blunt warnings about the dangers posed by authoritarianism and fascism with undeniable moral clarity ... She talked about the importance of what President Biden is doing to rally the world against Putin’s horrific invasion of Ukraine and the urgent work of defending democracy at home and around the world. She knew better than most and she warned us in her book on fascism, that yes, it can happen here, and time and courage are of the essence ... This must be a season of action. And yes, once again, we must heed the wisdom of her life and the cause of her public service. Stand up to dictators and demagogues, from the battlefields of Ukraine, to the halls of our own capital. Defend democracy at home, just as vigorously as we do abroad.”
Albright indeed warned us about encroaching fascism — in 2018, she said: “There are conditions out there that provide the petri dish for something terrible to happen” — but let’s not forget that back when it mattered most, with America at a crossroads, Hillary Clinton warned us, over and over, about what would happen if the opposition’s demagogue was handed the reins of power. She had faults as a candidate, but ultimately it was not her fault that a small but fatal share of clueless, oblivious, feckless or willfully deaf Americans stayed home in the handful of states that swung the antiquated Electoral College.
She got it right during the 2016 debates when she spoke directly to Trump: “(Putin) would rather have a puppet as president. (We know) that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do. And that you continue to get help from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.”
She got it right in 2016 when she warned about the MAGA movement’s animosity toward people of color: “Trump is reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters. It’s a disturbing preview of what kind of president he’d be.”
She got it right in 2016 when she warned that the GOP would target gay people all over again, regardless of “the progress that we fought for, that many of you were on the front lines for. It may not be as secure as we once expected.”
She got it right in a 2016 speech when she warned that “a fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party. And this is part of a broader story — the rising tide of hardline, right-wing nationalism around the world ... So no one should have any illusions about what’s really going on here.”
She got it right in 2016 when she warned about a fragile future for women’s reproductive rights: “The fact that our next president could appoint as many as three or four justices in the next four years (demonstrates) that we can’t take (those rights) for granted. Just consider Donald Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive nominee ... He has pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade ... And that’s why this election is so important. The outcome of November’s contests is going to be a deciding factor in whether our elected officials and our courts defend or attack a woman’s right to health care for generations to come.”
She’s still getting it right, by the way. Last year she noted: “There is a plot against the country by people who truly want to turn the clock back. They believe that the progress we’ve made on all kinds of civil rights and human rights, the cultural changes that have taken place, are so deeply threatening that they want to stage a coup.”
If that coup is completed in 2024, don’t say that Hillary didn’t warn us. | https://www.news-journal.com/opinion/hillary-clinton-keeps-getting-it-right/article_878030f2-ca21-11ec-b34f-576e2ddf658c.html | 2022-05-03T12:43:06Z | https://www.news-journal.com/opinion/hillary-clinton-keeps-getting-it-right/article_878030f2-ca21-11ec-b34f-576e2ddf658c.html | false | 8 |
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) _ Martin Marietta Materials Inc. (MLM) on Tuesday reported first-quarter net income of $21.4 million.
On a per-share basis, the Raleigh, North Carolina-based company said it had profit of 34 cents. Earnings, adjusted to account for discontinued operations, were 39 cents per share.
The results missed Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 71 cents per share.
The seller of granite, limestone, sand and gravel posted revenue of $1.23 billion in the period. Its adjusted revenue was $1.15 billion, which beat Street forecasts. Three analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $1.12 billion.
Martin Marietta expects full-year revenue in the range of $5.64 billion to $5.82 billion.

Last Sunday, the remaining contestants performed yet again at another live show, and former Idol and award-winning singer, Omawumi returned as a guest judge. The top six opened the night with a beautiful rendition of ‘Uptown Funk’ by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, and once again, each contestant showed why they truly belonged in the competition.
In a sad twist, this season’s host, IK Osakioduwa, announced that the seventh live show would also be a double eviction. Simi’s ardent fan, Faith and baby dragon, Itohan, couldn’t secure enough votes to make it to the top four. The tension was high, and no one saw this new twist coming. Progress, Jordan, Zadok, and Banty made it to the top four with the ladies’ departure from the competition.
Progress performed first with his cover of Johnny Drille’s ‘Wait For Me’, and all the judges expressed that they were proud of how he’s come in the competition. As always, the fan-favourite took the audience to church.
Jordan was up next, and according to the Kokomaster, D’banj, he gave a classic performance of Fireboy’s‘Airplane Mode’.
Zadok was the third to perform, and he gave an incredible performance of Timi Dakolo’s ‘The Vow’. According to Simi, his voice has character, and he always has a ‘romance’ with his microphone, making him a delight to watch.
Banty was the last to perform, and she wrapped up the night with an impressive performance of Asa’s ‘Bibanke’and what an excellent rendition it was. She proved that she deserved the ‘last girl standing’ position with that song.
Nigerian Idol Season 7 is down to the top four. The big question is – who will make it to the top three? The race continues next week, but only the viewers have the power to determine who makes it. Voting is open now and will close at 9 pm on Thursday, 5 May 2022.
Nigerian Idol season 7 is proudly sponsored by Bigi Drinks and Binance Africa. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/itohan-faith-give-final-performances-as-omawumi-makes-special-guest-judge-appearance/ | 2022-05-03T12:44:31Z | https://tribuneonlineng.com/itohan-faith-give-final-performances-as-omawumi-makes-special-guest-judge-appearance/ | true | 1 |
The Russian military stormed the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
This was stated by Deputy Commander of the Azov Regiment Svyatoslav Palamar [Kalyna] in a comment to Ukrainian Pravda.
According to him, the Russians are just now trying to break into the plant. Before the assault, the Russians bombed the aircraft plant.
"We were bombed all night, two civilian women were killed, and now Azovstal is being stormed," said Sviatoslav Palamar.
- On April 20, defenders of Mariupol said they were ready to evacuate the city with the support of a third party. On the same day, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine was ready to exchange captured Russian servicemen for people from Mariupol.
- On April 21, Putin ordered Russian troops not to storm the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, but troops continued to attack.
- On the night of April 28, Russian troops struck almost 50 airstrikes on Mariupol and Azovstal. They dropped a lot of phosphorus bombs. In addition, the enemyʼs artillery was constantly working. As a result, a hospital collapsed in the basement of the plant. At least 600 people were injured.
- On April 30, 20 civilians, who were rescued from the rubble, were evacuated from Azovstal. It is unknown where they were taken. Russia then announced the "evacuation" of 25 people from the plant and a dozen other houses nearby, but where they are — is also unknown.
- On May 1, the UN confirmed that people were being evacuated from Azovstal. Zelensky said that the first group left for Zaporizhzhia. | https://babel.ua/en/news/78291-in-mariupol-russia-stormed-the-azovstal-plant | 2022-05-03T12:45:36Z | https://babel.ua/en/news/78291-in-mariupol-russia-stormed-the-azovstal-plant | false | 1 |

Google has announced plans to provide $100,000 worth of Google Career Certificates to US-based businesses that want to train their employees in data analytics, digital marketing, IT support, project management, or user experience (UX) design.
Eligible organizations can apply for up to 500 scholarships each in a variety of digital skills. Google says that no previous experience is required and credentials can be earned over a period of either three or six months of part-time study.
Google launched its Career Certificates program in 2018, with more than 70,000 people in the United States and 205,000 globally having earned at least one certificate in that time.
Google has also added a new digital marketing and ecommerce certificate to the program, teaching skills such as how to build an online store, measuring analytics, and increasing customer loyalty using tools like Google Ads and Analytics, as well as non-Google tools.
Closing the skills gap
Research shows that the current US labor market is in a state of flux. According to Gartner's latest Global Labor Market Survey, only 29% of global IT employees have solid plans to stay with their current employer.
In the US, while all IT jobs lost during the pandemic have been recovered, statistics show that the hiring of IT professionals is now being hindered by a lack of qualified individuals.
“The already tight labor market just became even tighter as competition for tech talent reaches near-record levels. For any employer relying on the old hiring playbook, it’s time to rethink approaches to recruiting and retention,” Tim Herbert, chief research officer at CompTIA, said in a statement in April. | https://www.computerworld.com/article/3658835/google-offers-us-businesses-100000-worth-of-digital-skills-training.html | 2022-05-03T12:48:40Z | https://www.computerworld.com/article/3658835/google-offers-us-businesses-100000-worth-of-digital-skills-training.html | false | 1 |
Benefit brokers segment outpaced industry with 16% sales growth last year over 2020
AVON, Conn., May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefit brokers — brokers who primarily sell core or employer-funded insurance products but also sell voluntary coverage —continued to build their share of the voluntary market last year. The segment generated more than $5.5 billion in sales in 2021, up 16% over 2020, according to Eastbridge's annual U.S. Voluntary/Worksite Sales Report. That jump outpaced the voluntary industry's overall strong growth of 11.3% in 2021 for a total of $8.307 billion.
Benefit brokers are responsible for two-thirds of sales in the voluntary/worksite market. Career agents, those who work primarily for a single company selling its products, continue to have the second-highest share of the market at 12%. However, this segment's sales of just more than $1 billion declined 4% in 2021 compared to 2020. Classic worksite brokers who focus on voluntary sales and worksite specialists — large marketing organizations that focus on voluntary sales — combined for a little more than $1.6 billion in sales last year. Classic broker sales grew 9% for a 10% market share, while worksite specialist sales grew 13% for a 9% market share.
"Most distribution channels saw a positive rebound last year compared to 2021," said Nick Rockwell, Eastbridge president. "Our research indicates this trend is likely to continue in 2022 as the industry returns to pre-pandemic levels of sales and historical growth rates in the future."
2021 Sales Mix by Distribution Segment
The annual U.S. Voluntary/Worksite Sales Report estimates sales for the entire voluntary industry, with detailed data on the performance of 67 group and individual carriers. The report represents the largest number of carriers included in any sales report for the industry.
Carriers interested in participating in next year's study can email Eastbridge at info@eastbridge.com. All participants receive a free copy of the complete findings, including company-specific results.

HSBC has long prided itself on being the bank that connects East and West. Now it's under pressure to rethink that model after a challenge from its top shareholder, one of the most powerful finance companies in China.
Ping An, China's largest insurer, is pushing for HSBC to overhaul its structure, which could mean ultimately decoupling the bank's hugely profitable Asian business from its Western activities, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Chinese insurer has been calling for HSBC to explore a reorganization, with an eye on boosting its valuation, as well as simplifying its regulatory requirements around the globe, the person told CNN Business.
Ping An spoke with HSBC privately, ahead of the bank's earnings and annual shareholder meeting last week, though it did not recommend a specific path forward, according to the person. But options would include spinning off the lender's Asian business or creating a separate entity in Hong Kong, the bank's biggest market.
HSBC shares jumped 2.6% in Hong Kong and were trading about 0.6% up in London on Tuesday. Ping An's intervention was first reported over the weekend by the Financial Times and Bloomberg.
Ping An has an 8% stake in HSBC, according to the bank's latest annual report.
The Chinese giant has been paying closer attention to the London-based lender's structure since it was forced by British regulators to halt dividend payments in 2020.
That led to an outcry among retail investors in Hong Kong, where HSBC is a mainstay of many portfolios, and prompted calls for the bank to justify its global structure and improve shareholder value.
HSBC brought back its dividend last year. In a statement Tuesday, a bank spokesperson stressed that it was "committed to maximizing value for all our shareholders," without mentioning Ping An specifically.
"We believe we've got the right strategy and are focused on executing it," the spokesperson said. "Delivering on this strategy is the fastest way to generate higher returns and maximize shareholder value."
HSBC has doubled down on its global position lately, despite investor scrutiny and geopolitical tension.
At an earnings presentation in February, CEO Noel Quinn said that 77% of its wholesale banking revenue had "some form of cross-border connectivity," and half of revenue in its global banking and markets division "in the East" came from Western clients.
But the bank has long faced questions about how it should be organized and even where it should be based, because Asia is central to its business.
HSBC was founded in Hong Kong more than 155 years ago, but it has been based in the United Kingdom since 1992, after acquiring Midland Bank, a large British retail bank.
Asia delivered 65% of HSBC's profits last year, and the bank has been shifting more resources to the region and moving several of its most senior executives to Hong Kong.
In a statement Tuesday, Ping An said that it would "support any suggestions to improve the value of HSBC and improve its business management."
"We want a debate about the future of the bank. We want shareholders to participate in the debate and to propose solutions for HSBC," the firm said. "Ping An supports all reforms and proposals from investors that can help HSBC's operations and long-term growth."

Staff Report
The ROC MBK Engagement Center, an ambient multi-media lounge space was recently unveiled.
The new ROC My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) engagement center, located at 57 St. Paul St. Downtown, is a lounge space featuring colored LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers, gaming chairs, a Virtual Reality (VR) console and gaming stations for youth participants to safely enjoy.
“The ROC MBK Engagement Center illustrates our continued commitment to investing in our youth to help them reach their full potential,” said Mayor Malik Evans. “With this Center, we have a place where young people can gather together and meet with mentors to talk about their personal growth, their goals and their futures.”
Mayor Evans was joined by City Council President Miguel Meléndez, Rochester City School District Superintendent Dr. Lesli Myers-Small, Department of Recreation and Human Services Commissioner Dr. Shirley Green and other community officials for a ribbon cutting ceremony.
“Through our collaboration with the Rochester City School District, we are working to close the gaps faced by young people of color. This is a critical component of our efforts to achieve a safe, equitable, and prosperous Rochester,” Evans said.
The space will also serve as a venue for monthly meetings for MBK participants and mentors to cover a wide range of topics that will move youth toward their fullest potential.
“Our young men are so fortunate to have access to the valuable resources inside the MBK Engagement Center,” Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small said. “This will help them to stay connected and remain focused on their education. The Rochester City School District is fortunate to partner with the City of Rochester to provide multi-faceted programming that helps develop and enrich the lives of MBK participants.”
ROC MBK was built on an initiative launched by President Barack Obama in 2014 with the goal to create opportunities for young men of color by connecting them to school based mentoring programs, support networks, job skills training, trade schools and colleges.
Council President Meléndez said he is excited for the launching of the engagement center. “The ROC MBK Engagement Center will bring collaboration and resources together to support and develop our youth,” he said.
“Creating a community engagement space for boys and young men of color in the heart of the city is critically important.”

REYNOLDSVILLE — Work is continuing at the Kenneth Lee Lyons Memorial Park in Reynoldsville, with the addition of the entrance columns and construction of a new amphitheater.
Gary Hanst, head of masonry, was at the park Monday morning with the help of a volunteer to get the stone face placed on the entrance columns. Shantell Neiswonger was volunteering at the park with Hanst.
Park Committee President Dan Edwards also said the progress is moving along on the base for the Cebulskie Starlight Stage.
“The check presentation was to get going on the amphitheater, and we have,” Edwards said. “So, we’re kind of up to ground level here.”
He said the stage is going to be up at about the same level as the temporary stage was during last year’s Red, White, and Blueberry Festival. The wall that was built by Hanst along the edge of the park next to the Uni-Mart will be continued to meet with the front of the stage.
The memorial pavers being sold by the Reynoldsville Auxiliary will be placed on the wall that follows the front of the stage once it’s complete, according to Edwards.
“We’ll have them across the front of the stage, and then on that slanted wall we’ll have room for a lot more of them,” Edwards said. “We’re ripping and tearing. We have most of the materials here.”
He said the committee is trying to work around the weather and is always looking for volunteers.
“We’re hoping to have all this cleaned up and have everything looking great for Memorial Day,” Edwards said.
He said the benches that have been installed at the front of the park turned out nice, and the committee is considering adding a few more. The water company also donated a connection and pipe to take the water down to the bottom of the park. | https://www.thecourierexpress.com/news/local/reynoldsville-memorial-park-progress-continues/article_11b3d654-ca5c-11ec-8c55-337aa2538595.html | 2022-05-03T13:02:01Z | https://www.thecourierexpress.com/news/local/reynoldsville-memorial-park-progress-continues/article_11b3d654-ca5c-11ec-8c55-337aa2538595.html | true | 1 |

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 3, 2022) - Wealth Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: WML) (OTCQB: WMLLF) (SSE: WMLCL) (FSE: EJZN) (the "Company" or "Wealth") reports the Company has signed an agreement with Lithium Chile Inc. ("Lithium Chile") to acquire 1,600 hectares ("New Ollagüe Licenses") adjacent and near-adjacent to its existing license position in the Ollagüe basin (the "Transaction").
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company is obligated to Lithium Chile, upon the completion of due diligence, to issue 2,000,000 shares of Wealth Minerals. An additional payment of 1,000,000 shares is payable by the Company to Lithium Chile if within twelve months Wealth either establishes within the acquired licenses a resource with an average grade of 300 parts per million lithium content, or a test well on the acquired licenses that produces material which tests no less than 300 parts per million lithium content. If Wealth does not conduct work necessary to potentially determine a resource or does not have a test well to produce material for lithium testing within twelve months, then Wealth is obligated to pay 500,000 shares to Lithium Chile. If the work necessary to potentially determine a resource or run a test well is completed, but a resource or test well does not produce an average grade higher than 300 parts per million lithium, then no further share payments are due by Wealth to the Seller. The Transaction is subject to TSXV approval.
The New Ollagüe Licenses have historical drilling on them, the highlight results of which are below in Table 1:

The depths of lithium bearing material intersected from the drilling campaign of 2018 coincide very closely with the main low conductivity zone detected by a transient electromagnetic survey ("TEM") completed by Lithium Chile during March 2018 (see Lithium Chile news release of April 3, 2018) which supports Lithium Chile's interpretation that the lithium bearing-material in the salar is open at depth.
Wealth's CEO Hendrik van Alphen, commented: "We look forward working with our partners in the Ollagüe Community to make the Ollague project a success for all stakeholders. This transaction with Lithium Chile clearly shows our commitment to the area, as well as our conviction that it is a superb project for Wealth."
The Ollagüe Project
The Ollagüe Project, after the Transaction, consists of 8,000 hectares located in northern Chile, Region II, near the Chile-Bolivia border. Lithium Chile conducted a drilling campaign in 2018, which returned lithium grades up to 480 Li mg/l and earlier surface sampling work returned lithium grades as high as 1,140 Li mg/l. Readers are cautioned these results are not in any way indicative of mineral deposits on Wealth's mineral properties or position in the Ollagüe basin. Wealth previously conducted a coincident loop Transient Electromagnetic ("TEM") survey on the Ollagüe Project, which identified very highly conductive zones ("Zones") and are interpreted to represent porous media with high-salinity fluids (potentially lithium-bearing brines) at depth. Testing these Zones with drilling is the focus of Wealth's anticipated drilling program for 2022 (see press release of March 28, 2022). The map below (Map 1) shows the license position of Wealth in the Ollagüe basin after the completion of the Transaction.

About Wealth Minerals Ltd.
Wealth is a mineral resource company with interests in Canada, Mexico and Chile. The Company's main focus is the acquisition and development of lithium projects in South America.
The Company opportunistically advances battery metal projects where it has a peer advantage in project selection and initial evaluation.
Lithium market dynamics and a rapidly increasing metal price are the result of profound structural issues with the industry meeting anticipated future demand. Wealth is positioning itself to be a major beneficiary of this future mismatch of supply and demand. In parallel with lithium market dynamics, Wealth believes other battery metals will benefit from similar industry trends.

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters!
So, how about that Tyler Wells? Transitioning into the starting rotation after spending last season in the bullpen was a little rough to start, but he’s been getting stronger with each start. Last night the Orioles didn’t win, but Wells wasn’t the reason.
For the second straight game, Wells completed five innings before coming out. Prior to the game, manager Brandon Hyde said that Wells would probably come out after four innings. But after sailing through four innings with a low pitch count, he went back out for the fifth. He ended up giving up one run in that fifth inning, but still ended the game with an excellent line of 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K.
Wells sailed through the first three innings with 25 pitches. He retired the first ten batters before a fourth-inning single. Superstar Carlos Correa? A pop out and a strike out. Hottest player on the planet Byron Buxton? Two strikeouts.
The lone run he allowed was after a lofty double with a .060 expected batting average and an RBI single on the first really hard hit he gave up on the night.
It would have been a lot nicer if the Orioles had won. But the Tyler Wells experience is good and seems to only be getting better.

It's Election Day in Ohio and Indiana, where voters will pick their party nominees in primary races ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
While Ohio has made headlines for its Senate and gubernatorial races, there are several House primaries taking place Tuesday in the Buckeye State that are worth paying attention to.
In Indiana, Sen. Todd Young is unopposed in the Republican primary and isn't expected to have much difficulty winning a second term this fall. But a couple of Republican House primaries warrant a watch.
The primaries in both states are taking place under congressional lines that were redrawn in redistricting following the 2020 census. Both the Indiana and Ohio maps were drawn by Republicans.
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed a number of Republican incumbents seen as strong bets for reelection in November, including Ohio Reps. Jim Jordan, Brad Wenstrup, Bill Johnson, Warren Davidson, Troy Balderson, Mike Carey, Bob Latta and Mike Turner, and Indiana Reps. Jim Banks, Jackie Walorski, Greg Pence, Victoria Spartz, Larry Bucshon and Jim Baird.
Here's a look at the races we're watching Tuesday:
Ohio's 1st Congressional District
The real action in this race won't take place until November. Longtime Rep. Steve Chabot is the default GOP nominee in his bid for a 14th term after his primary opponent dropped out last week, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Chabot has turned back well-funded Democratic challenges in recent cycles in his Cincinnati-area district, which became more Democratic in redistricting, going from a seat that backed Trump by 3 points in 2020 to one that would have supported Joe Biden by about 9 points. The fall election is once again expected to be competitive. Cincinnati City Council member Greg Landsman is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Ohio's 7th Congressional District
This district was almost completely redrawn this year, transforming from a largely rural district to one that included more of the Cleveland suburbs. Republican Rep. Bob Gibbs is not running for reelection, citing frustration with the redistricting process. Former Trump aide Max Miller is the front-runner for the GOP nomination, with support from his former boss, and has dominated the field in fundraising. Podcast host Matthew Diemer is seeking the Democratic nomination, but Democrats will likely find it hard to flip a seat that would have backed Trump by 9 points in 2020.
Ohio's 9th Congressional District
Republicans are looking to oust the longest-serving woman in US House history, Democrat Marcy Kaptur, in this Northwest Ohio district. Kaptur, who was first elected in 1982, has seen her district shift from a safe Democratic seat that currently stretches from Toledo to Cleveland along Lake Erie to a swing district that now pushes west from Toledo to the Indiana border. The leading Republican candidates include state Rep. Craig Riedel, state Sen. Theresa Gavarone and Air Force veteran JR Majewski. Kaptur could become the longest-serving woman in congressional history, surpassing former Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski, if she's sworn into a 21st term next year. But she would first have to win reelection this fall in a district that Trump would have carried by 3 points in 2020.
Ohio's 11th Congressional District
Rep. Shontel Brown and progressive challenger Nina Turner are facing off in a rematch for the Democratic nomination for a deep-blue Cleveland-area district. Biden weighed in on the race last week, throwing his support behind the incumbent. Brown, a former Cuyahoga County Council member, defeated Turner in an August special election to replace former Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge, who left to become Biden's secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Turner, a former state senator and close ally of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is hoping for a different result this time in a district that no longer stretches into Akron and that would have backed Biden by 58 points. The winner will be the heavy favorite in November.
Ohio's 13th Congressional District
This Northeast Ohio district is up for grabs with Democratic incumbent Tim Ryan running for US Senate. The district changed significantly in redistricting and now includes all of Akron as well as Canton. Biden would have carried it by 3 points. Democrat Emilia Sykes, a former minority leader of the Ohio state House, is unopposed in her primary. On the GOP side, Trump has thrown his support behind attorney and conservative political commentator Madison Gesiotto Gilbert, who is also a former Miss Ohio USA. Gilbert served on Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns, including as co-chair of the Women for Trump coalition in 2020.
Indiana's 1st Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan, who is expected to easily win his primary, is seeking a second term in his northwest Indiana district that saw only minor changes in redistricting. Republicans looking to challenge him include Air Force veteran Jennifer-Ruth Green and former LaPorte mayor and Navy veteran Blair Milo. The National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting the district, which would have backed Biden by 8 points.
Indiana's 9th Congressional District
Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth's decision not to seek another term has opened up this southeast Indiana district, which now stretches to the Ohio border. It remains a safely GOP seat -- which Trump would have carried by 27 points -- so the winner of the Republican primary will likely be heading to Congress. GOP hopefuls include former state Sen. Erin Houchin, who ran for the seat in 2016 but lost to Hollingsworth in the primary, former US Rep. Mike Sodrel, who represented an earlier version of the district from 2005 to 2007, and Army veteran Stu Barnes-Israel, a first-time candidate who served in Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - ITT Corporation (ITT), a manufacturing firm, on Tuesday reaffirmed its guidance for the fiscal 2022, amidst persisting global supply disruptions, labor shortages, supplier delays, raw material inflation, and war in Ukraine.
In addition, the outlook assumes a significant reduction in the company sales in Russia due to ongoing Ukraine crisis.
For the full year, the company expects a revenue growth of 7 percent to 9 percent, or up 9 percent to 11 percent on an organic basis.
For 12-month period, the company now projects its earnings per share (EPS) of $4.07 to $4.50, less than its previous projection of $4.22 to $4.66. However, ITT expects its adjusted EPS to remain in the range of $4.30 - $4.70.
Owing to war in Ukraine and related tensions, the annual guidance also assumes a major reduction in sales in Russia which is expected to impact the Group's revenue by around $60 million to $85 million for the full year.
For the first quarter ended in March, the company's bottom line totaled at $74.8 million or $0.88 per share, compared with $86.2 million or $0.99 per share, reported for the same period last year.
The company's revenue for the quarter moved up to $726.2 million from $698.4 million of the previous year quarter.

LINCOLN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) – A dashboard camera captured the moment a reckless driver slammed into an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper.
On April 18, an OHP trooper was parked in the inside lane of the Turner Turnpike in Lincoln County.
Officials say the trooper was providing traffic control for a maintenance crew working on the turnpike.

TORONTO, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - TurfBot has officially launched as the first franchised robotic mowing as a service company in the US. The company will be offering lawn mowing services to local homeowners using zero-emission robotic technology.
"We don't do anything without rigorous testing, and we've been testing this concept for several years now," stated Jennifer Lemcke, CEO of TurfBot. "Our goal was to ensure our franchisees could be successful doing this…that is of the utmost importance to us. We wanted to build a sustainable model for the future."
The TurfBot concept involves providing easy access to robotic mowing by offering it as a paid service with an affordable monthly fee. The mowers remain at customers' homes throughout the entire mowing season and can be pre-programmed to mow on certain days/times or started on demand via mobile app. Customers also receive monthly maintenance visits from a TurfBot technician to ensure the mower is always in peak form. Regular trimming and edging can be added on to any mowing program.
To help propel the brand forward, TurfBot has partnered with SiteOne Landscape Supply to assist with equipment, supplies, and logistics.
"We have a 25-year history with SiteOne that started with our sister company, Weed Man Lawn Care. It just made sense to partner with them on the TurfBot side – it really was the perfect fit. They have been instrumental in helping our franchisees get the equipment needed to launch their businesses and service their customers," said Lemcke.
TurfBot has opened its doors in 9 U.S. markets, with plans to expand into an additional 10+ in 2023.
TurfBot is North America's first robotic mowing as a service franchise brand. Founded in 2018, TurfBot is now in 9 US markets with plans to expand into 80 additional markets over the next 10 years. For more information, visit turfbotmowing.com.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Nearly all abortions could become illegal in Wisconsin if a leaked majority opinion draft by the U.S. Supreme Court holds up.
According to a Politico report, the draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide.
Wisconsin’s 19th-century abortion ban, made unenforceable by Roe, would not take hold until the majority opinion is published. The court is expected to rule on the case before its term ends in late June or early July.
The draft opinion was made in a case challenging Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks, a case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
If the draft opinion becomes reality, abortion in Wisconsin would constitute a crime punishable by up to six years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both. There is an exception for when a mother’s life is in danger, but not for rape or incest. That law was passed in 1849.
“The consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade cannot be overstated,” Democratic Gov. Tony Evers tweeted Monday evening. “This could have disastrous consequences for Wisconsinites — including Wisconsin women and their families — more than 70% of whom do not support overturning the Roe decision.” | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Report-Supreme-Court-draft-suggests-Roe-could-be-17143938.php | 2022-05-03T13:25:15Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Report-Supreme-Court-draft-suggests-Roe-could-be-17143938.php | false | 15 |
Joel Embiid, 76ers finish off Raptors in Game 6
Joel Embiid scored 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the visiting Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Toronto Raptors 132-97 on Thursday night to win their first-round playoff series in six games.
James Harden added 22 points and 15 assists for the 76ers, who won the first three games of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series before dropping the next two.
Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey sank five 3-pointers and scored 25 points. Tobias Harris had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Danny Green contributed 12 points.
The fourth-seeded 76ers will open the Eastern Conference semifinals on the road against the top-seeded Miami Heat on Monday.
Chris Boucher had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors. Pascal Siakam added 24 points, Gary Trent Jr. had 19 points and Scottie Barnes contributed 18.
The 76ers used a 37-17 third quarter to take a 21-point lead into the fourth.

Embiid went to the bench for treatment on his face after Siakam’s elbow hit him on a driving layup with 3:58 to play. Siakam was called for a foul.
The lead reached 32 on Harris’ 3-pointer with 3:38 left, and the reserves came on.
Philadelphia led 34-29 after one quarter.
Boucher’s 3-pointer capped an 11-0 run that gave Toronto a 40-36 lead early in the second quarter. Embiid banked in a hook shot to tie the game at 46. Green’s 3-pointer from the right corner gave Philadelphia a three-point lead with 1:52 to play, and the 76ers led 62-61 at halftime.
Philadelphia took a 12-point lead early in the third quarter on Maxey’s successive 3-pointers. The gap reached 20 on Harden’s two free throws with 5:20 left that completed a 17-0 run. Harden’s 3-pointer stretched the lead to 22 with 3:52 to go. The lead reached 23 points before the third quarter finished with Philadelphia leading 99-78.
Fred VanVleet (hip strain) did not play for Toronto.

Brazil courts give Guedes 10 days to explain election-year tax cut
By Marcela Ayres
BRASILIA, May 3 (Reuters) - Investigators from Brazil's electoral courts have given the Economy Ministry 10 days to explain a huge tax cut on industrial goods such as televisions and refrigerators over concerns about its legality and impact on the October election.
In a letter dated April 28 to Economy Minister Paulo Guedes and seen by Reuters, Deputy Electoral Attorney General Paulo Gustavo Branco gave the ministry the deadline to respond to concerns raised by federal lawmaker Marcelo Ramos.
A day after the letter was received, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro signed another decree cutting the industrial products (IPI) tax by 35%, effective on May 1, deeper than the 25% cut previously in force.
Together, the Economy Ministry estimates the decrees, which do not require approval from Congress, will cost some 23.4 billion reais ($4.6 billion) in government revenue this year.
The Economy Ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the electoral court investigation.
Daniella Marques, the ministry's secretary of productivity and competitiveness, said last week that the government recognized the risk of legal challenges to the tax cut, but was "sure of the legal prerogative it has to promote tax reductions for the entire Brazilian industrial sector."
Guedes has argued that booming commodity prices have boosted government revenue and allowed the government to lower taxes, helping local industry and enabling producers to pass along lower costs to consumers.
An injunction request filed by the Republican Party of the Social Order (PROS) in the Supreme Court also questioned the tax cut's constitutionality, arguing that it threatened the Manaus Free Trade Zone in the state of Amazonas.
Companies operating in the zone are exempt from paying IPI, and can generate credits equivalent to the industrial tax and make deductions from other tax obligations. The lower the IPI rate, the smaller their potential credits, which reduces their fiscal advantage.

The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets each recognized this week’s four-game series as an opportunity to measure each other against a potent division rival.
For the Braves, a win on Monday night got them halfway to the split they needed to at least ensure they wouldn’t lose ground to the Mets — who are all too aware of how quickly a big division lead can shrink.
The Braves will look to end the Mets’ streak of consecutive series wins Tuesday during a doubleheader between the National League East rivals.
Right-hander Charlie Morton (1-2, 7.00 ERA) is slated to start Game 1 for the Braves, with fellow right-hander Kyle Wright (3-0, 1.13 ERA) starting the nightcap. The Mets are scheduled to send right-hander Carlos Carrasco (1-1, 4.09 ERA) and left-hander David Peterson (0-0, 0.64 ERA) to the mound, though the team hadn’t decided on the order as of late Monday night.
The Braves overcame an early deficit Monday night, when Travis d’Arnaud went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in a 5-2 win.
The win pulled the defending World Series champion Braves within five games of the Mets, whose seven straight series wins to open the season is the longest in franchise history and tied for the third-longest in the NL since 1977.
“I’m kind of glad we’re getting in the division here,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said before Monday’s game. “We’ve been seeing the Mets from afar. We knew they were a really good team — they did really good things here in the offseason. It doesn’t surprise me where they’re at, so I’m kind of glad to play them.”
The Mets added Chris Bassitt, Mark Canha, Eduardo Escobar, Starling Marte and Max Scherzer and hired Buck Showalter as manager. It was a clear response to a season in which they led the NL East for 114 days but finished 77-85 and 11 1/2 games behind the Braves, who didn’t get over .500 for the first time until Aug. 6.
“It’s funny how everybody says ‘Well, this team is going to be weak,’ and then all of a sudden you get into August and they’re not and somebody that was supposed to be really good is not,” Showalter said Monday afternoon. “So you don’t know. That’s why you treat them all (the same).”
Morton didn’t factor into the decision last Wednesday in a 6-3, 10-inning loss to the Chicago Cubs, when he gave up three runs over 2 1/3 innings. Wright earned the win last Thursday after surrendering one run over seven innings in Atlanta’s 5-1 win over the Cubs.
Carrasco took the loss last Wednesday after giving up eight runs (seven earned) in 3 2/3 innings as the Mets fell to the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-5. Peterson, who will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, last pitched for New York on April 22, when he didn’t factor into the decision after allowing one run over 5 2/3 innings in a 6-5, 10-inning win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Morton is 3-3 with a 3.27 ERA in 14 career games (13 starts) against the Mets. Wright is 1-2 with a 7.16 ERA in five games (four starts) against New York.
Carrasco is 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA in two games (one start) against the Braves. Peterson is 1-2 with a 5.95 ERA in four starts against Atlanta.

Primary elections are often overlooked as merely a stepping stone to the general election. But often, the primary is just as important as the general election. Ohio voters have a chance to make a change in several seats up for election this cycle. The May 3 primary election marks the beginning of a series of major races across the country.
Republican Sen. Rob Portman is not running for re-election, leaving open the possibility of a possible flip. Democrats see a match-up between Rep. Tim Ryan and progressive attorney Morgan Harper. Ryan recently posted what appears to be a digital ad that positions him as a more “reasonable” version of a Republican candidate, a strategy that never works for Democrats.
Ryan claims he’s a fighter for Ohio by using low-hanging fruit like being against “defund the police” and “China,” Ryan claims he’s a fighter for Ohio. Meanwhile, Harper continues to message as someone who will represent all of Ohio. A central message of her campaign is about guaranteeing equal opportunity for all.
Harper has been endorsed by She the People, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, The Collective PAC and Elect Black Women. An attorney by trade, Harper recently served as the director of policy and advocacy at the American Economic Liberties Project. She also served as a senior advisor at the Consumer Financial Bureau during the Obama administration.
On the Republican side, front runner J.D. Vance picked up the coveted Trump endorsement ahead of the May 3 primary. In a race to the bottom, Vance has made ridiculous claims to appease the former president’s supporters and draw national attention with his antics.
In addition to the senate race, Ohioans will have the opportunity to elect statewide officials this cycle. Two Black women are running for statewide offices and should not be overlooked. Cuyahoga County Vice President Cheryl Stephens is running for lieutenant governor alongside former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley.
Forest Park City Councilwoman Chelsea Clark is running for Secretary of State. Clark will take on Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who has been catering to Trump’s falsehood around the 2020 election.
In a prior interview, Clark said Republicans were waging a war against free and open elections.
“This is about the undoing of democracy,” she said. “And I won’t stand by and watch it happen without speaking out.”
Former state Sen. Nina Turner once again squares off against Rep. Shontel Brown to represent the district, including much of Cleveland. Turner lost to Brown in the special election to replace HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge. Fudge stepped down from the seat to join the Biden administration.
A solidly Democratic district, Tuesday’s election is the general election for the 11th Congressional District. Brown has been endorsed in her re-election bid by President Biden. Turner again picked up the endorsement from the local paper of record, the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
And while some in national media make this race another chapter in the establishment/progressive proxy wars, to the people of the 11th Congressional District, it’s another opportunity to choose their champion in Washington D.C. According to the Plain Dealer, Turner is the fighter the district needs while acknowledging Brown has held her own in the short time she’s been in office.
Speaking with NewsOne last summer, Turner said that representing the district in Congress also means prioritizing engagement in the community. Touting her experience on a city council combined with organizing a post-2016 election to build across urban, rural and suburban communities.
“I will go to where people are,” Turner said. “ I don’t want people to give up. To be so jaded by what is happening that they have lost hope.”
She also said people get wrapped up in labels or whether the district is moderate to conservative. Still, there are issues that resonate with people regardless of their ideology.
“People just want to live,” Turner said. “I think about the words life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. That’s really what this comes down to. And I’ve added to that liberty and everybody’s pursuit of happiness.”

Gabriel Jesus retains summit in form chart after scoring in 4-0 win at Leeds, adding to four-goal haul against Watford; Heung-Min Son returns to upper rungs; Bruno Guimaraes maintains chart-topping levels; Cristiano Ronaldo climbs top 10 again as Alisson returns among elite performers
Tuesday 3 May 2022 13:57, UK
Who is red-hot in the Premier League right now? Sky Sports ranks every player over the last five matchdays...
Manchester CIty forward Gabriel Jesus secured top spot in the form chart for a second week running after scoring in the 4-0 win at Leeds, having smashed four goals past Watford last week.
Tottenham forward Heung-Min Son soared back into runner-up spot after netting a double in the 3-1 win over Leicester, while Bruno Guimaraes (No 3) slipped one place following the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Manchester City midfielder Rodri (No 4) scored for the second successive league game in a 4-0 victory at Leeds, while Wilfried Zaha (No 5) is back among the goals with a stoppage-time winner at Southampton.
Martin Dubravka (No 6) surged 20 places up the rankings after making nine saves against Jurgen Klopp's side, while Southampton maestro James Ward-Prowse (No 5) tumbled three places after the defeat at St Mary's Stadium.
Cristiano Ronaldo (No 8) maintained his extensive run in the top 10 after converting a penalty as Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 win over Brentford, having scored his 100th career Premier League goal in the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.
Liverpool stopper Alisson (No 9) was back among the elite performers following his clean sheet at St James Park, while Burnley 'keeper Nick Pope (No 10) retained his top-10 standing following the Clarets' dramatic 2-1 win at Watford.
You can check the top form player at each club in the chart below...
Who will join the Power Rankings' hall of fame, alongside Harry Kane (2020/21), Kevin De Bruyne (2019/20), Eden Hazard (2018/19), Salah (2017/18), Alexis Sanchez (2016/17) and Riyad Mahrez (2015/16)?
The current season totals reveal Salah is set to become the first player to win the Power Rankings twice - but Son is closing the gap at breakneck speed, while Trent Alexander-Arnold also has the award in his sights.
Salah broke his six-game duck for goals from open play in the 4-0 win over Manchester United and now has 22 Premier League goals to his name this season.
But Son has extended his haul to 19 this term, just three goals behind Salah - while Ronaldo is only four shy of the Liverpool winger, but United have only two games left to play. | https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12604594/gabriel-jesus-tops-premier-league-form-chart-ahead-of-heung-min-son-and-bruno-guimaraes | 2022-05-03T13:33:45Z | https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12604594/gabriel-jesus-tops-premier-league-form-chart-ahead-of-heung-min-son-and-bruno-guimaraes | false | 1 |
The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument has been a prominent fixture in Downtown Cleveland’s Public Square since its dedication in 1894. The structure’s 125-foot column, once one of the tallest in the city, is surrounded by four bronze large-scale groupings that depict the four branches of the military. The interior walls bear the names of 9,000 men from Cuyahoga County who fought during the Civil War.
While the monument is open year-round to visitors, there’s a part of the structure that’s only shown once a year and draws in crowds from near and far. The annual “Tunnel Tours” were back this past weekend after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
Greg Palumbo, executive director of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, said people often ask: “Are they connected to other tunnels? Where can I go to with those tunnels? What were they used for? Why are they there?”
Many myths and legends have developed over the decades, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. One popular theory is that the tunnels were part of the Underground Railroad, which doesn’t quite check out.
“The Underground Railroad was during the Civil War, and we were built about 30 years after,” Palumbo said.
The tunnels under the monument run in concentric circles around its base and actually don’t connect to anything else. They were built during the construction, which began in 1891.
Another legend is that the tunnels connect to a series of underground passageways that run throughout Public Square.
“You see somebody go down into a manhole to deal with steam, or you knew someone who worked in a building, which my mother did, who could walk from E. 9th all the way to Public Square through a tunnel,” Palumbo explained. “Everybody’s heard of these tunnels, but not everybody’s been in them, so they don’t know what connects to what.”
The tunnels under the monument run in concentric circles around its base and actually don’t connect to anything else. They were built during the construction, which began in 1891.
“We have two types of tunnels that run underneath the monument,” Palumbo said. “Under the outside, we have tunnels that hold up the decking, and they're made of archways and walls. The arch holds up every seam of the big stone slabs that make up the walkway around all of the statues on the outside.”
Below the interior of the monument are the inner tunnels, made of Roman style barrel vaults – thick archways that hold up the stone walls, flooring and statuary.
Palumbo said a lot of the intrigue surrounding the tunnels is because they’re a part of the monument that people usually don’t get to see.
“A lot of those different myths or legends are what draw people in,” he said. “And then we hope that they’ll learn a little bit about the engineering of the monument and a little bit about what we’re here to honor, which are the men on the walls.” | https://www.wksu.org/arts-culture/2022-05-03/tour-the-tunnels-below-clevelands-soldiers-and-sailors-monument | 2022-05-03T13:34:22Z | https://www.wksu.org/arts-culture/2022-05-03/tour-the-tunnels-below-clevelands-soldiers-and-sailors-monument | false | 1 |

For the first quarter of 2022, GigaMedia reported revenues of $1.55 million with a gross profit of $0.90 million, an operating loss of $0.83 million and the net loss of $1.10 million. Total revenues increased by 23.0% if compared to the previous quarter.
The improvement exhibited in revenues is mainly due to our efforts in promoting a licensed game amidst a long stay-home period in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, we continued fine-tuning our fast-paced remake of legacy casual games to increase players' stickiness and average revenue per user. With a healthier operating model, we believe it will bring us a steady growth and enhanced profitability in the future
While many countries around the world began easing COVID-19 restrictions, Hong Kong and Taiwan, previously with comparatively few cases, have been facing a wave of outbreak recently, and certain disruptions to our operations were resulted. "We have taken measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business," stated GigaMedia CEO James Huang.
First Quarter Overview
- Operating revenues increased by 23.0% in quarter-on-quarter comparison and 6.9% year-over-year. The increase was mainly attributable to our efforts in boosting Tales Runner, a licensed game in Hong Kong, where primary pupils have experienced a prolonged winter vacation.
- Loss from operations decreased to $0.83 million from $1.15 million last quarter, but net loss increased slightly to $1.10 million from $0.99 million last quarter due to foreign exchange loss arising from the surge of U.S. dollar in the past quarter.
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results
GigaMedia Limited is a diversified provider of digital entertainment services. GigaMedia's digital entertainment service business FunTown develops and operates a suite of digital entertainments in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with focus on mobile games and casual games. Unaudited consolidated results of GigaMedia are summarized in the table below.
For the First Quarter
NM= Not Meaningful
(A) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is provided as a supplement to results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). (See, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures," for more details.)

The increase was mainly attributable to our efforts in boosting Tales Runner, a licensed game, amidst a long stay-home period in Hong Kong.
- Consolidated gross profit increased to $0.90 million from $0.61 million in last quarter and increased by 13.9% from $0.79 million in the same quarter last year.

Financial Position
GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounting to $40.5 million, or approximately $3.67 per share as of March 31, 2022.
Business Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of May 3, 2022. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of digital entertainments, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.
"Notwithstanding the disruption of the pandemic, we are making progress in developing and calibrating a robust business model for our in-house casual games," said GigaMedia CEO James Huang. "We will continue executing our strategy of internally-driven growth by cultivating customer relationships, boosting productivity of the products and improving cost structure and effective marketing."
Meanwhile, our business strategies always include expanding through mergers and acquisitions. We will keep pursuing investment opportunities that have strategic capacity to accelerate our growth and enhance shareholders' value.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement GigaMedia's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company uses the following measure defined as non-GAAP by the SEC: EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is a useful supplemental measure of performance because it excludes certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and that EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of using EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact the company's net income for the period. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalents of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided on the attached unaudited financial statements.

Sylvester Idowu in Warri
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria Export Promotion Group (MANEG), Okakuro Ede Dafinone, has joined the league of those seeking to represent the Urhobo nation in the Senate.
The district is currently being represented by the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, whom Dafinone said had in just seven years restored Urhobo greatness and improve the condition of living in Delta Central senatorial district.
In his declaration last Saturday in Ughelli, Delta State, Dafinone, a member of the board of NEXIM Bank, eulogised Omo-Agege for his good work at the Senate, noting that he was running to sustain, consolidate and build on the good work of the deputy Senate president for the people of Delta Central senatorial district and the Urhobo nation.
Giving graphic details of why he is offering himself as replacement for the deputy Senate president in 2023, Dafinone said: “My dear compatriots, in 2015, when we needed a strong voice at the national level to reposition the Urhobo nation, after years of declining influence and standing in the politics of our country, we sent Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the Obarisi of Urhoboland, to the Senate to represent us.
“In just seven years in the Senate, Omo-Agege pursued his vision to restore Urhobo greatness and improve the lives of all Delta Central senatorial district residents with a sense of urgency, and he did the hard work to make that vision a reality.
“He offered us effective and quality representation in the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate and raised the bar on legislative representation to a new level.”
Dafinone noted that the gains of the last seven years were great and visible to all in terms of projects, sound legislations and empowerment of the Urhobo, adding that “these are legacy achievements that will transform Urbobo land for many years to come.
“These accomplishments which demonstrated that doing good work matters, have laid a solid foundation for our future. Now we must build on and improve on that foundation, as Omo-Agege seeks the office of Governor of Delta State to implement a pan-Delta EDGE agenda to build a new Delta for the good of all Deltans.”
After consulting with family, party leaders, critical stakeholders in Urhoboland and associates, Dafinone said he has purchased the Expression of Interest and nomination forms for the Senate on the platform of the APC to serve the people of Delta Central senatorial district and the Urhobo nation in the 10th Senate.
“So, my dear party men and women, most especially the delegates to our forthcoming primary, give me your support, give me your votes, and together, we will keep Urhobo great.” | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/05/02/2023-delta-central-dafinone-seeks-to-replace-omo-agege-in-senate/ | 2022-05-03T13:40:10Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/05/02/2023-delta-central-dafinone-seeks-to-replace-omo-agege-in-senate/ | true | 1 |
(CNN) — I have a confession to make. My name is Harry Enten, and I am a millennial who sounds like a 75-year-old Jewish man.
In fact, a lot of people assume I have stepped out of a time machine.
I speak with what many consider a stereotypical New York accent. And yes, it’s distinct.
This got me thinking about accents and dialects in general. When you turn on television, it feels like we hear fewer accents than we used to. Instead, we get this bland “general American” accent that doesn’t sound like it’s from anywhere in particular.
Are our (my) ears playing a trick on us (me)? Are accents going away?
I set out on a journey to find some answers in the second season of my podcast Margins of Error. The podcast gets to the stories that are often pushed to the margins. And while I love data, we also explore the stories behind the numbers.
The idea that accents (how words sound when we speak) and dialects (can include different words and phrases for the same word or phenomenon) — which are two different things, I’ve learned — are dying has some basis in numbers. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have been tracking the decline of the traditional Texas accent. In the 1980s, 80% of Texans they interviewed had that accent. As of 2013, only a third of them do.
But a deeper dive reveals that there’s a lot more to the story.
For one thing, experts can’t even agree on how many regional accents there are in the United States. “There’s some number between like three and 25, depending on what source you’re going to,” Nicole Holliday, assistant professor of linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania, pointed out in an episode of the podcast.
Between three and 25. That’s a huge range. For me as a stats guy — that’s freakin’ nuts, folks.
And there certainly still are differences in the way we speak. When comedian and Georgia native Mia Jackson and I took the New York Times dialect quiz, she and I had very different answers to a lot of questions. For instance, what I call a “sunshower,” she called “the devil is beating his wife.” It’s a Southern thing, she told me, and it means raining when the sun is out.
In fact, the idea that accents are dying isn’t anything new. “American Dialects Disappearing” is the headline of an article from a newspaper in Eugene, Oregon. You want to guess which year it was published? 1960. And yes, I guess people from Oregon speak with an accent.
What I came to find out during my time recording the podcast is that accents and dialects aren’t dying. Instead, they are constantly changing, though usually at a very slow pace.
The significance of evolving accents is actually much bigger than merely sounding different than we used to in the past. It’s about how we’ve changed as Americans. It used to be, as Holliday pointed out to me, that people didn’t mix as much as we do now.
“Before we had planes and stuff, people living on one side of a mountain did not talk to people living on the other side of the mountain,” Holliday said. “And when groups of people are segregated from each other, they develop different ways of speaking.”
Today, with about 8.4% of people moving, according to 2021 US Census data, and Americans connected through technologies such as social media, accents continue, usually slowly, to shift.
Sometimes, though, the story isn’t about slow change. It’s about something dramatic happening. For instance, did you know an accent can change because of a Hollywood portrayal?
The 1996 movie “Fargo” made people in the Upper Midwest think twice about their vowel shift, according to Dennis Preston, Oklahoma State University professor emeritus of linguistics, who spoke in a podcast episode.
But do we lose something with changing accents, especially those that come about because of social pressure?
“We’re eliminating a lot of the rich history that people come with when we encounter different people,” Holiday said. “I would hate to see … social pressure cause the disappearance of these varieties that can tell us so much about the world that we live in in our history.”
And that’s why I spend part of the podcast trying my hand at speaking in an accent that seems to be going away.
If you want to hear me take a stab at a very different accent from New York’s and learn a lot about accents along the way, you’ll have to tune in.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel on Monday lashed out at Russia over “unforgivable” comments by its foreign minister about Nazism and antisemitism — including claims that Adolf Hitler was Jewish. Israel, which summoned the Russian ambassador in response, said the remarks blamed Jews for their own murder in the Holocaust.
It was a steep decline in the ties between the two countries at a time when Israel has sought to stake out a neutral position between Russia and Ukraine and remain in Russia’s good stead for its security needs in the Middle East.
Asked in an interview with an Italian news channel about Russian claims that it invaded Ukraine to “denazify” the country, Sergey Lavrov said that Ukraine could still have Nazi elements even if some figures, including the country’s president, were Jewish.
“So when they say ‘How can Nazification exist if we’re Jewish?’ In my opinion, Hitler also had Jewish origins, so it doesn’t mean absolutely anything. For some time we have heard from the Jewish people that the biggest antisemites were Jewish,” he said, speaking to the station in Russian, dubbed over by an Italian translation.
In some of the harshest remarks since the start of the war in Ukraine, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid called Lavrov’s statement “unforgivable and scandalous and a horrible historical error.”
“The Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust,” said Lapid, the son of a Holocaust survivor. “The lowest level of racism against Jews is to blame Jews themselves for antisemitism.”
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who has been more measured in his criticism of Russia’s invasion, also condemned Lavrov’s comments.”His words are untrue and their intentions are wrong,” he said. “Using the Holocaust of the Jewish people as a political tool must cease immediately.”
Israel’s Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem called the remarks “absurd, delusional, dangerous and deserving of condemnation.””Lavrov is propagating the inversion of the Holocaust — turning the victims into the criminals on the basis of promoting a completely unfounded claim that Hitler was of Jewish descent,” it said in a statement.
“Equally serious is calling the Ukrainians in general, and President (Volodymyr) Zelenskyy in particular, Nazis. This, among other things, is a complete distortion of the history and an affront to the victims of Nazism.”
In Germany, government spokesman Steffen Hebstreit said the Russian government’s “propaganda” efforts weren’t worthy of comment, calling them “absurd.”
Nazism has featured prominently in Russia’s war aims and narrative as it fights in Ukraine. In his bid to legitimize the war to Russian citizens, President Vladimir Putin has portrayed the battle as a struggle against Nazis in Ukraine, even though the country has a democratically elected government and a Jewish president whose relatives were killed in the Holocaust.
Ukraine also condemned Lavrov’s remarks.
“By trying to rewrite history, Moscow is simply looking for arguments to justify the mass murders of Ukrainians,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Lavrov’s remarks exposed the “deeply-rooted antisemitism of the Russian elites.”
World War II, in which the Soviet Union lost an estimated 27 million people and helped defeat Nazi Germany, is a linchpin of Russia’s national identity. Repeatedly reaching for the historical narrative that places Russia as a savior against evil forces has helped the Kremlin rally Russians around the war.
Israel was formed as a refuge for Jews in the wake of the Holocaust. Over 70 years later, the Holocaust is central to its national ethos and it has positioned itself at the center of global efforts to remember the Holocaust and combat antisemitism. Israel is home to a shrinking population of 165,000 Holocaust survivors, most in their 80s and 90s, and last week the country marked its annual Holocaust memorial day.
But those aims sometimes clash with its other national interests. Russia has a military presence in neighboring Syria, and Israel, which carries out frequent strikes on enemy targets in the country, relies on Russia for security coordination to prevent their forces from coming into conflict with one another. That has forced Israel to tread lightly in its criticism of the war in Ukraine.
While it has sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine and expressed support for its people, Israel has been measured in its criticism of Russia. It has not joined international sanctions against Russia or provided military aid to Ukraine.
That paved the way for Bennett to be able to try to mediate between the sides, an effort which appears to have stalled as Israel deals with its own internal unrest.
The Holocaust and the constant manipulation of its history during the conflict has sparked outrage in Israel before.In a speech to Israeli legislators in March, Zelenskyy compared Russia’s invasion of his country to the actions of Nazi Germany, accusing Putin of trying to carry out a “final solution” against Ukraine. The comparisons drew an angry condemnation from Yad Vashem, which said Zelenskyy was trivializing the Holocaust.___ | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/05/02/unforgivable-israel-condemns-russian-foreign-ministers-statements-about-jews/ | 2022-05-03T13:48:53Z | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/05/02/unforgivable-israel-condemns-russian-foreign-ministers-statements-about-jews/ | false | 37 |
WNBA to honor Brittney Griner with league-wide floor decals
(AP) - The WNBA will honor Phoenix’s Brittney Griner with a floor decal and allow the Mercury to pay her without it counting against the team’s cap, the league announced Tuesday.
The All-Star center remains in Russia after being detained following her arrival at a Moscow airport on Feb. 17. Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges that allegedly contained oil derived from cannabis, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. She has a hearing set for May 19.
The decal will feature Griner’s initials “BG” as well as her No. 42. All 12 teams will have the decal on their home courts starting with the season opener Friday night. The Mercury open their season at home that night against the Las Vegas Aces.
“As we begin the 2022 season, we are keeping Brittney at the forefront of what we do through the game of basketball and in the community,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “We continue to work on bringing Brittney home and are appreciative of the support the community has shown BG and her family during this extraordinarily challenging time.”
The league also approved giving the Mercury both roster and salary cap relief so that they can carry a replacement player until Griner returns home. Griner will be paid her full salary of nearly $228,000.
Engelbert announced at the WNBA Draft there would be a league-wide charity initiative spearheaded by the Mercury to support Griner’s philanthropic project, called BG’s Heart and Sole Shoe Drive, which helps the homeless.
“In conjunction with the league, the other 11 teams, and those closest to BG, we will work to keep her top-of-mind as we tip the 2022 season,” said Mercury Executive Vice President and GM Jim Pitman. “While we await her return, our main concern remains for her safety and well-being. Our fans will miss her impact on the court and in our community, and this gesture of including her initials on every court and our BG’s Heart and Sole Shoe Drive activation in every market are for them and for her.”
Griner had one of her best seasons last year — the league’s second-leading scorer and sixth in rebounds. She helped the Mercury reach the WNBA Finals, where they lost to the Chicago Sky.

ORLANDO, Fla. — If you’ve been in downtown Orlando for soccer matches or other events lately, you might have seen more homeless people camping out.
>>> STREAM CHANNEL 9 EYEWITNESS NEWS LIVE <<<
City officials believe someone is now providing tents to the homeless. A lot of homeless residents have gathered and set up tents along Grove Park Drive, in close proximity to Exploria Stadium.
Now, the city said it’s taking steps to try to keep the tent city from growing.
Fencing and improved lighting have been put in place to keep people from camping in the nearby parking lots. In addition, the city said it’s sending people daily into the area to offer services and job opportunities to try to get people off the streets.
“Our task force is focused on all of the issues, and the increase in the number of tents that we’re seeing (is) definitely one of those,” said Lisa Portelli, the mayor’s senior advisor for homelessness.

The Rev. Tim Stevens leaves Azle this week as the lead pastor of Azle First Assembly of God.
But his ministerial effect on the community doesn’t end there, as he also departs town as the chaplain of the Azle Fire and Police departments. He also belonged to the Azle Area Ministerial Alliance and served on the board at certain points, including two years as president.
Stevens, who also was instrumental in the annual Fourth of July celebration at Central Park in Azle and had been the chairman of the planning committee for that event for the last four years, heads to Waco now to be lead pastor of Turning Point Assembly of God.
He and Michelle were lead pastors of the church here and received a call from the Waco church to work there.
“To be honest with you, we were surprised to receive the call,” Tim said. “We were not looking at the time, so we started praying, and as we started praying – as God does – he started changing our hearts toward this call to go to this church. Over several weeks, as we prayed and sought God, he very clearly revealed to us, not in an audible voice, but deep in my spirit that this is where he was calling us.”
He said in every major move he and his wife made, moving from one church to another, they have confirmed those moves through prayer. Michelle has worked for the city of Azle for 13 1/2 years and has held three jobs at City Hall, with her current post being the purchasing agent/risk manager. She recently was honored as city employee of the year.
Tim Stevens said he appreciates the relationships he made here at the church and community as he said he answers God’s call to move to another church. His daughter Sierra Bell, worship pastor at Azle First, will move to the new church with husband, John Bell, youth pastor at the church.
“We’re just thankful for what God has helped us do here,” Tim said, looking back at his time here. “You always wished you could have done more. You always wish you could have reached more, but that’s who we are – it’s like we’ve never done enough. It feels like we should have done more – done more of this, more of that, should have reached more people. I tell you in the almost 18 years, you can imagine the relationships we have built.”
He said Michelle has “indelibly left a mark on people’s lives” in Azle.
Tim Stevens said he enjoyed being police and fire chaplain, a title he held for four years, and he was able to hang out with personnel and also attend calls for both departments.
“They allowed me to see a little more of their world,” he said about those calls. He said being chaplain was a “distinct honor.” He values those relationships he made with first responders, as he said being chaplain is the “ministry of presence,” one in which a person is just being present with others. The new chaplain has not been named. A search for a new pastor for the First Azle has begun.
Stevens was born in Marion, Indiana, and his parents were missionaries at one point in East Africa. Steven was in Africa for seven years, coming back to the states in 1984. He graduated from a Christian American boarding school outside Nairobi, Kenya. His parents were missionaries in Malawi.
Tim Stevens married Michelle in 1987, and he has been in fulltime ministry for 26 years. He and Michelle came to Azle 18 years ago. Their other daughter, Kelsey, and her husband, James, are Chi Alpha missionaries at an Assemblies of God ministry at the University of New Orleans. | https://www.azlenews.net/news/pastor-leaves-azle-appreciates-relationships-he-developed-here/article_bd98c3d4-ca5d-11ec-ac23-1b733235c792.html | 2022-05-03T13:58:04Z | https://www.azlenews.net/news/pastor-leaves-azle-appreciates-relationships-he-developed-here/article_bd98c3d4-ca5d-11ec-ac23-1b733235c792.html | false | 1 |

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Commission said on Tuesday that the daily fines imposed on EU member country Poland for not complying with an order to suspend a disciplinary mechanism for judges have now piled up to more than 160 million euros.
The EU and Poland have been at odds for years over issues linked to the respect of democratic standards and the separation of powers in the eastern country.
Last year, the 27-nation bloc’s top court fined Poland one million euros ($1.06 million) a day to prevent what it called “serious and irreparable harm” to the EU’s legal order and values. The EU’s executive commission had requested the penalty until Warsaw acts to improve the functioning of the Polish Supreme Court and suspends new laws deemed to undermine judicial independence.
“And we are now with a total amount of more than 160 million euros ($168.85) of such a fine until a possible positive evolution in Poland," Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said in an address to the European Parliament.
According to media reports in Poland, the right-wing Polish government still refuses to pay.
The commission said serious concerns remain about the respect for rule of law in the country despite plans by President Andrzej Duda to abolish the legal chamber at the heart of the dispute, the so-called Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court.
The chamber has the power to suspend judges whose rulings displease the ruling authorities. The European Court of Justice said last year that it violated EU laws and ordered its temporary suspension pending a verdict.
Duda has proposed amending the law on the Supreme Court and closing the controversial chamber. He said his proposal was aimed at helping Poland end its conflict with the European Commission.
“The fact that there seems to be a momentum towards reforming the disciplinary regime for judges in Poland is a positive step," Reynders said. “Yet, what will eventually matter is the extent to which the legislation ... will address the requirements set out by the Court of Justice."
In recent years, the Polish government has repeatedly clashed with the EU, which says the changes Warsaw has made to Poland’s justice system undermine the principles of democracy and the rule of law. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/EU-Poland-fines-in-rule-of-law-dispute-now-top-17143962.php | 2022-05-03T14:04:08Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/EU-Poland-fines-in-rule-of-law-dispute-now-top-17143962.php | false | 15 |

PETALING JAYA, May 3 — National football sensation Luqman Hakim Shamsudin believes that good understanding between players in the current national Under 23 (U-23) squad could result in a gold medal at the South East Asian (SEA) Games in Hanoi, Vietnam.
He said the good understanding within the team, coached by Brad Maloney, after several previous friendly gave them an advantage when they take on rival teams at the biennial Games.
“My hope is of course for the team to get the gold, not silver or bronze...just target the gold. The team has made the best preparations, we have played friendlies with Timor Leste and the Philippines.
“These friendlies have made us gel well as a team,” he told reporters after the squad’s last training session at PKNS Sports Complex here today.
They are expected to leave for Hanoi tomorrow (May 4) for the SEA Games.
Luqman Hakim said the squad would do their best and give their all in every match even though they face tough competition in Group B.
Meanwhile, Maloney said although the competition was fierce, his charges would be able to compete if he could bring the team together in the next few days.
He said some players have clear leadership qualities that could be form the core to help Malaysia win the title.
“I think it’s clear that we have a clear leadership group, players like Mukhairi Ajmal Mahadi, Nik Akif Syahiran Nik Mat, Muhammad Azri Ab Ghani, Ahmad Zikri Mohd Khalili and Muhammad Azrin Afiq Rusmini. I believe all these players have leadership quality and experience.
“As for Hadi Fayyadh (Abdul Razak) and Luqman Hakim, great to have them back in the team. They just arrived from abroad, but they are looking good,” he added.
Luqman Hakim plays for KV Kortrijk in the Belgian First Division, while Hadi Fayyadh features for Azul Claro Numazu in the Japanese J3 League.
Drawn in Group B, Malaysia is set to face Thailand on May 7, followed by Laos (May 11), Singapore (May 14) and Cambodia (May 16) at the Thien Truong Stadium in Nam Dinh. Only the top two teams in the group stage will advance to the semi-finals.
The last time Malaysia won the ‘mother of all medals’ in the biennial Games was in the 2011 edition in Jakarta, Indonesia, with head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee guiding them to victory. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2022/05/03/hanoi-sea-games-gold-medal-within-reach-thanks-to-good-understanding-betwee/2056977 | 2022-05-03T14:08:21Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/sports/2022/05/03/hanoi-sea-games-gold-medal-within-reach-thanks-to-good-understanding-betwee/2056977 | true | 1 |

Pump prices rose again over the past week due primarily to the high cost of crude oil. Fear of a global energy supply disruption due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine outweighs the demand concerns prompted by the impact of COVID-19 on China’s economy.
The cost of a barrel of crude continues to hover around $100. With the oil price accounting for about 60% of pump prices, the national average for a gallon of regular is now $4.19, an increase of seven cents since Monday, April 25. Virginia’s gas price average ($4.05) is up 10 cents in the past week, down two cents in the past month, but $1.28 more than on this day one year ago.
“As long as the supply remains tight, it will be hard for crude oil prices to fall and consumers will in turn face higher prices at the pump,” said Morgan Dean, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson. “It now costs drivers in the U.S. about $23 more to fill up than a year ago.”
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total domestic gasoline stocks decreased by 1.6 million bbl to 230.8 million bbl last week. Gasoline demand decreased slightly from 8.87 million b/d to 8.74 million b/d. Although lower gas demand would typically push pump prices lower, the fluctuating oil price and tight gasoline supply have pushed pump prices higher. Pump prices will likely face upward pressure as oil prices remain above $100 per barrel.
Today’s national average for a gallon of gas is $4.19, which is a penny less than a month ago, but $1.29 more than a year ago.
In a recent poll* by AAA of Virginia residents, more than 40% said gas prices were not even a consideration in their travel planning, but almost 45% said they were taking fewer or shorter trips because of gas prices.

Johan Bakayoko: PSV's teenage star thriving under Van Nistelrooy
One of the finest strikers of the 2000s, Ruud van Nistelrooy has had to wait for his chance to step into first-team management.
The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid forward has had two spells as part of the coaching staff for the Netherlands national side, while also working within the youth structure at PSV.
But this summer, Van Nistelrooy will make the step up to take charge of the senior side in Eindhoven, replacing the outgoing Roger Schmidt after a season in charge of Jong PSV in the second tier of Dutch football.

Given his playing career, the 45-year-old will be expected to particularly oversee improvements in attack, though there is a chance he will first have to rebuild his forward line.
Cody Gakpo is expected to move on, with a host of Europe's biggest clubs - including Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich - having been linked with the 22-year-old winger.
At the start of the season, the same thing was expected for Noni Madueke, but injuries have hampered the England youth international in 2021-22, meaning the Premier League and Bundesliga clubs that are keen on the forward may well decide to look elsewhere, at least for now.
Regardless, Van Nistelrooy is going to require reinforcements, one of which could be the teenager that has lit up his own side this term.
With just a single game of Jong PSV's season to play, Johan Bakayoko can already boast a record of 17 goals and 11 assists for the team in 2021-22, meaning he has been directly involved in a goal every 85.4 minutes in the second division.
Given he only managed a solitary strike and three assists in 19 appearances at that level last season, that is quite some improvement from the Belgium youth international, and one which Van Nistelrooy has played a key role in.
"You can see that he has power and also a good shot," Van Nistelrooy told ESPN in January. "He plays such controlled football that you forget that he is only 18.
"If he continues to invest so much in what he does, he is a boy who is on the right track to join the first team at the end of the season."
Check out football's best wonderkids with NXGN:
That step has not quite materialised, however, with the 19-year-old having made just two appearances off the bench for PSV's senior side thus far, but that is likely to change once Van Nistelrooy takes the reins.
PSV certainly envisaged him becoming a first-team player when they tempted him to join the club from Anderlecht in 2019, with Bakayoko having previously spent time at Club Brugge and Mechelen.
His first two seasons with the club, though, suggested that he may be some distance off that level, and that following Madueke's path of starring for the youth sides before making an impact on the Eredivisie was unlikely.
The club, though, saw things differently, and in the summer of 2021 offered the teenager a new four-year contract, which Bakayoko signed while donned in a white suit and red bowtie.
"Now it's up to me to prove that I can put up the numbers required of me," he said at the time. "I want to be more decisive in terms of my stats, and I've been talking to the coaches about doing that."
He has been a man of his word, honing his finishing ability under Van Nistelrooy's watchful eye, though he is much more than a player who puts the ball in the net.
Naturally left-footed, he generally plays from the right-hand side, using his speed and close control to cause nightmares for opposing full-backs before cutting inside to either score or create chances for his team-mates.
With six, he has the most goals from outside the penalty area in the Dutch second tier, with his decision making in terms of when to try his luck and when to look for help much improved from previous years.
"At the beginning of 2021, Johan was not doing well," his agent, Gerard Witters, told Het Nieuwsblad. "But after he got his new contract, everything changed.
"He started to boost his stats and his recent games were phenomenal. The club has told me that Johan is already better than they initially thought he would be.
"Before he sometimes played like a crazy dog. He had great qualities and was very explosive, but he produced poor crosses and took shots when they were not the best option.
"Now he knows a lot more what he's going to do and defenders can't stop him anymore, despite the fact that he always does the same movement (cutting inside).”
Bakayoko's form has been particularly good since the season's winter break, with his confidence spiking after he netted four times against VVV-Venlo in January.
More recently, he came off the bench for the final 33 minutes against FC Eindhoven and scored twice before assisting PSV's third goal in a game that looked to be heading for a draw until the youngster's introduction.
Now the challenge becomes replicating those performances against the best teams in the land, with PSV hopeful of yet again challenging Ajax for the title after their back-and-forth race this season.
His history with Van Nistelrooy should certainly help in that respect, and if the legendary striker is to succeed as a coach, then he will hope that he can soon rely on his young charge to lead the way.

Alongside that, there will be 10 different stamps produced to illustrate the huge range of jobs that women did during the war.
The roles were wide and varied, ranging from repairing army vehicles to cracking secret codes.
Initially, roles in the Auxiliary Territorial Service which Mary Ellis was part of, were limited to cooks, cleaners, orderlies, store-women, and drivers.
However as the war went on these roles were massively expanded to include other duties, notably work on the anti-aircraft sites and ferry pilots, deliver Spitfires to the frontlines.
David Gold, a director at Royal Mail, said: "These stamps are a tribute to the millions of women who contributed to the war effort and the Allied victory.
"Their bravery and sacrifice is often overlooked, but their work helped to drive some of the post-war social changes that eventually saw equal opportunities and equal pay legislation.
"We must also remember the women who supported the war effort at home, managing households despite the unceasing demands of total war."
The Supermarine Spitfire
- The Spitfire was designed by Reginald Mitchell at the Supermarine factory in Woolston, Southampton
- The prototype was first flown from Eastleigh Aerodrome, now Southampton Airport, on 6 March 1936
- After Mitchell died in 1937, his successor Joe Smith developed the fighter to make it faster and more powerful
- The aircraft entered service in 1938 with the RAF, which initially ordered 310 of them from the Woolston works
- The site was bombed in 1940 at a time when much Spitfire manufacturing was being switched to 'shadow factory' production line at Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham
- Spitfires shot down a total of 529 enemy aircraft, for a loss of 230 of their own.

A “very, very dangerous” rapist jailed for at least six sex attacks is feared to have attacked more women yet to come forward.
Francis Mukendi, dubbed the Camden Doorstep Rapist, ambushed his victims as they were walking home alone at night in Camden, north London, between September 2017 and December 2019.
As they were getting their keys out, Mukendi would approach them from behind with a weapon such as a hammer or a knife, and forced them to perform oral sex.
The 27-year-old, known on TikTok as Raver Artist, filmed at least two of the attacks which were found on a computer under his bed.
He was found guilty at Wood Green Crown Court, following a six-week trial, of four counts of rape, three counts of attempted rape, two counts of sexual assault and four counts of possession of a bladed article.
He received a life sentence with a minimum of 15 years behind bars.
Investigating officers fear there are several more victims who they have urged to come forward.
Andy Carter, BCU Commander for Camden and Islington, said: "Rape is a very complicated offence in which to investigate and in particular this set of horrific crimes have had a traumatic effect on the victims concerned.
"He's a very, very, very dangerous individual who was following women alone near their home address.”
Mukendi committed offences against six women, aged between 20 and 32.
Police say he avoided capture by knowing where CCTV cameras were and wearing gloves to stop his fingerprints from being traced during his attacks.
Mukendi attacked his first victim in September 2017 by waiting for her by a doorway, telling her to get down on her knees and putting a knife on her neck.
The woman described feeling terrified as she was forced to perform oral sex on Mukendi as he pressed a knife to her throat before her flatmate opening her front door and scared him away.
Paying tribute to the women who came forward, Detective Sergeant Sam Wood added: "I cannot thank them enough for doing that. As a collective hopefully that bravery publicised will help other victims to come forward.
"Even though there was a detailed investigation, without them coming to the court, he may not have been convicted.
"Forcing the victims to reopen past trauma shows a propensity to be quite arrogant and have no forethought for any trauma he is going to commit.
"These women should be free to walk home at night and he has completely torn that from them completely.
"He has done this on their doorsteps. There are many layers of trauma that will have repercussions throughout their life." | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rapist-who-filmed-attacks-may-26859883 | 2022-05-03T14:29:24Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rapist-who-filmed-attacks-may-26859883 | false | 1 |

MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services in the City of Johannesburg, Michael Sun has condemned Chicco Twala’s attack on City Power technicians in Bloubosrand on Sunday.
City Power technicians were reportedly attacked by famous music producer, Sello Chicco Twala who has been implicated in goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa’s murder .
Sun said City Power technicians received reports of a multi-day power outage in the Bloubosrand area affecting several houses and dispatched a team to repair the fault.
Sun said to repair the fault and restore electricity to the affected homes, power needed to be temporarily cut to a wider area so the technicians could work on the faults.
“Whilst the residents were working, a resident approached one technician and threatened him with violence should the team continue with their work. The resident went on to attack the technician and pointed a cocked pistol to the technician’s head to force him to stop working.”
Michael Sun
City Power spokesperson, Isaac Mangena said Twala then slapped him and choked him, pinning him to the ground. The community intervened and rescued the team and they left without doing the repairs. Police reportedly confiscated two toy guns.
According to reports, Twala did have power in his house but did not want the technicians to work on the faults affecting other residents in the area.
“City Power technicians are constantly exposed to dangers to keep the lights on in Johannesburg. A gun toting mad man threatening anybody in the course of their duties is entirely unacceptable and must be dealt with the full might of the law,” Sun said.
In a statement circulated on social media, the 59-year-old said that his arrest is a “victory” for him and a “defeat” for the “evil” people who have linked him to Meyiwa’s murder.
“Finally I got arrested for pointing a toy gun [at] two men whom I thought were cable thieves who caused a blackout to six houses at my recording studios,” Twala said

'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' reviews praise Sam Raimi & MCU's first horror movie
You can take the Raimi out of the Evil Dead, but you can't take the Evil Dead out of the Raimi.
We have witnessed the mind-bending, reality-breaking, spine-tingling glory that is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and we're still blown away by how much director Sam Raimi was able to get away with here. Brought to the silver screen with nightmarish flourishes of Evil Dead and Drag Me to Hell, the second outing for the Master of the Mystic Arts (once again played by Benedict Cumberbatch) is, without question, the MCU's first-ever horror movie — PG-13 rating be damned!
Critics are in agreement on that point, even if some of them take issue with the finer storytelling details of the finished product, which arrives in theaters everywhere this Friday. The rich narrative concepts of infinite universes and forbidden dark magic don't just open the door for high-profile cameos (none of which we'll be discussing here), they also invite Raimi's campy — and oftentimes genuinely terrifying — sensibilities over the threshold like a vampire taking advantage of someone who doesn't believe in neck-biting blood-suckers.
Nothing is off the table here, and it beautifully works to the movie's benefit, taking viewers out of their comfort zone with a parade of contorted bodies, swirling demons, shockingly blunt demises, and eye-popping magical duels. It's a Sam Raimi joint through-and-through, with an emphasis on how weird a character Strange (and his sphere of influence) can be. The filmmaker, who was brought in to replace Scott Derrickson a little over two years ago, hasn't lost any of his trademark genre panache during his nearly decade-long hiatus away from the director's chair.
Written by Loki boss Michael Waldron, Multiverse of Madness takes place after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, though Tom Holland's third solo outing as the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler has less to do with the plot of this movie than you might think. The multiversal shenanigans are brought to the forefront by America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a young girl with the dangerous ability to hop between realities at a moment's notice. To go any further than that would be to incur the wrath of the tentacled terror known as Gargantos.
Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch), Benedict Wong (Wong), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Karl Mordo), Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer), and Michael Stuhlbarg (Nicodemus West) co-star, reprising their characters from previous MCU adventures.
Head below to see what critics are saying about the new film. Please be warned that mild plot spoilers await you in the following review excerpts! If you're hoping to go into the movie with as fresh a pair of eyes as possible, we suggest heading over to a parallel universe where MCU spoilers are punishable by a life sentence in a maximum security prison. Godspeed, dear reader...
"Fortunately, the movie’s last act is its best. Though never as darkly weird as its Lovecrafty title promised, Madness starts to play more to Raimi’s strengths — it’s looser, more kinetic and occasionally goofy despite the big stakes — and to offer some visions that may stick in viewers’ heads even after they’ve started devouring trailers for stories set in Wakanda, Asgard and the Quantum Realm." -Jonh Defore, The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s a movie set in several universes at once, and it keeps shooting off into ever more insane dimensions of alternate reality. Its story doesn’t develop so much as it multiplies. In theory, this should multiply the fun, though that’s not necessarily the way it works out. “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” is a ride, a head trip, a CGI horror jam, a what-is-reality Marvel brainteaser and, at moments, a bit of an ordeal. It’s a somewhat engaging mess, but a mess all the same." -Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"The Multiverse Of Madness is noisy, frantic and at times a little messy, but it's never less than entertaining. The MCU faithful will cheer its numerous call-backs; Raimi-heads will groove on its Raiminess; and we suspect even those bewildered, unprimed viewers will at least appreciate the way it 100 per cent lives up to its title." -Dan Jolin, Empire Magazine
"Multiverse of Madness excels when Raimi's voice is the loudest one in the room. Multiple sequences nostalgically harken back to the stylistic influences in his pre-MCU Spider-Man days while others dip deeply (sometimes even shockingly) into true horror. This actually may be the least kid-friendly Marvel has ever allowed one of their movies to get while still remaining safely in the PG-13 rating zone. There is blood, some light gore, and multiple graphic death scenes that all feel deeply subversive and interesting." -Mason Downey, GameSpot
"Multiverse of Madness has a concept strong enough to overcome a few missteps. Not to mention an excellent cast that commits to this very weird slice of the MCU. If Doctor Strange 1’s brand of weirdness was a homerun then Doctor Strange 2 will push things even further. It’s a film that only Sam Raimi could have made and one that isn’t shy about letting his genre sensibilities permeate every shot. In a world where MCU films have a lot of homogeneity, there’s no denying Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a wild ride." -Anthony Taormina, Game Rant
"While the Marvel-ness of Madness will make your head spin, Raimi’s signature style, penchant for the macabre and sense of humor oddly ground the film. Scenes that feel akin to his Tobey Maguire Spider-films of the early 2000s — and the zombies, demons, monsters and schlocky weirdness reminiscent of Evil Dead and Drag Me to Hell — almost seem nostalgic." -Brian Truitt, USA Today
"While the MCU’s interconnected nature was once one of this universe’s strengths, now, it almost suffocates what Raimi is trying to do here. As a film that highlights Raimi’s talents as both a director of distinct superhero stories, and idiosyncratic horror tales, Doctor Strange works. Yet as a larger piece in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Multiverse of Madness starts to show the cracks in trying to continually attempt to build and one-up what came before." -Ross Bonaime, Collider
"The multiverse madness is treated with genial high-energy panache, though I have to say that this infinite profusion of realities does not actually feel all that different in practice from the shapeshifting, retconning world of all the other Avengers films. And infinite realities tend to reduce the dramatic impact of any one single reality, and reduces what there is at stake in a given situation. Nonetheless, it’s handled with lightness and fun." -Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"The events and revelations of Multiverse of Madness will surely reverberate across many future films and shows, and though you may wish that Marvel Studios would place more value in character over incident, Raimi dispatches the usual Marvel table-setting for future movies with astonishing efficiency. The multiverse concept has already been reduced in Marvel to a shortcut to endless cameos by major and obscure characters paraded across the screen like sitcom characters entering the set to studio applause. Raimi cannot avoid the obligation to do the same, but he confines almost all of this film’s 'nerdgasm' moments to a single scene, which ends in a hilarious, shocking fashion true to Raimi’s mastery of horror comedy." -Jake Cole, Slant Magazine
"The film’s thoughts on Doctor Strange’s deals with devils (metaphorical ones, at least) remain open, and its refusal to answer its own questions remains frustrating. In the end, it’s his name on the poster, so he gets to break all the rules and still claim hero status. Will consequences catch up with him? As an answer, all that Multiverse of Madness has to offer is the second button the MCU has worn down to a nub: Tune in next time!" -Susana Polo, Polygon
"Are there aspects of Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that could be better? Definitely. The script is downright hokey sometimes, and there are odd moments that are weird for the sake of it without adding anything to the overall lore or character development. That said, it’s got a score that’s to die for, some rockin’ performances, and fans will never once be bored!" -Amelia Emberwing, IGN
"What Raimi has done with his contribution, however, is construct not another roller coaster but one hell of a haunted house, one fueled by an abundance of eccentric creativity, imagination, and finely honed chops. The methods he employs to his Madness are what makes this movie stick out, in this or any other universe." -David Fear, Rolling Stone
"It's silly, it's gory, it's a little Evil Dead, a little Darkman, and it's refreshingly cornball in a way that Marvel rarely is. It might be Raimi copping on his own directorial flairs within a Marvel movie — but at least he does it with style. Paired with Danny Elfman's fizzy score, Raimi elevates Multiverse of Madness from the bridge-building bit of IP it so transparently is. While he doesn't quite elevate it to the 'madness' that the film promises, he does, for a few brief, shining moments, show the kids how those superhero movies could be done." -Hoai-Tran Bui, /FILM

COVID-19 vaccine and treatment sales helped Pfizer breeze past Wall Street's first-quarter expectations, as the drugmaker's profit grew 61%.
The coronavirus vaccine Comirnaty, which has been Pfizer's top seller for about a year, brought in more than $13 billion in sales in the quarter. The pill treatment Paxlovid, which launched late last year, added another $1.5 billion.
All that helped company revenue swell 77%, compared to last year's quarter, when vaccine sales were still ramping up.
But Pfizer didn't hike its full-year sales forecast for both products, as well as total revenue, and company shares slipped in early trading.
Overall, Pfizer on Tuesday posted net income of $7.86 billion, and adjusted earnings of $1.62 per share in the first quarter, easily topping the $1.49 projected by industry analysts, according to a survey by FactSet.
Revenue was $25.66 billion, also beating Wall Street expectations for $24.1 billion.
Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine launched in late 2020 and became the drugmaker’s top selling product by last year’s second quarter. That was before children started receiving the preventive shots and adults began receiving booster doses.
Pfizer books the vast majority of revenue from Comirnaty and splits profit, as well as the cost to make and distribute the vaccine, with development partner BioNTech.
Sales of that vaccine topped analyst expectations for the quarter, but revenue from Paxlovid fell short.
Pfizer said it still expects Comirnaty to bring in about $32 billion in sales this year, with Paxlovid recording around $22 billion.
Revenue from both products will likely wind up exceeding forecasts, Mizuho Securities USA analyst Dr. Vamil Divan said in a research note. He noted that current projections only include contracts the company signed as of mid April.
Outside Comirnaty and Paxlovid, Pfizer makes several cancer treatments, other vaccines and internal medicine drugs like Eliquis, for preventing blood clots and strokes.
Sales of that drug climbed 12% excluding the impact of foreign currency rates, to $1.79 billion in the quarter.
Pfizer Inc., based in New York, also revised the 2022 earnings forecast it debuted in February to reflect an accounting policy change. It now expects adjusted earnings of $6.25 to $6.45 per share.
That's down a dime on both ends of the range from its previous forecast for $6.35 to $6.55 per share.
Analysts forecast earnings of $7.14 per share.
The company still expects that 2022 total revenue will range between $98 billion and $102 billion. Analysts forecast total revenue of $105.92 billion.
Shares slipped 32 cents to $48.02 before the opening bell Tuesday.
Pfizer’s stock hit an all-time high price of $61.71 on Dec. 20. But that price has fallen 18% so far this year, a steeper drop than the roughly 13% decline of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

A data breach affecting more than 400 students at the University of Essex is being treated “very seriously”, the institution said.
Law firm Hayes Connor, which is representing some of those affected, said an email from an external partner of the university accidentally included a spreadsheet containing personal information.
The message from facilities management was to request payment for repairs to a broken door at an accommodation block and was sent on March 23.
The spreadsheet contained more than 400 residents’ information, including student IDs, dates of birth and contact details, Hayes Connor said.
Christine Sabino, the legal specialist at Hayes Connor representing those affected, said it was a “particularly worrying” data breach.
“The spreadsheet included on this email contained all kinds of crucial data on hundreds of people, so the seriousness of the issue should not be downplayed,” she said.
“Through our work, we have seen how breaches of this kind can have a big impact on those affected.
“It should also be remembered that many of the individuals involved here are young adults living away from home for the first time.
“Some may be very worried about this or unsure what to do next.
“The individuals we have spoken to are desperate to know how this happened.
“They are also keen to understand what is being done to prevent more issues in the future.
“When individuals provide data to organisations of any kind, they trust that the information will be handled in a secure and proper manner.
“Issues like this only serve to undermine that trust, so we are determined to help our clients get the answers they deserve.”
A University of Essex spokesman said: “We are taking this issue very seriously and ensuring our delivery partners understand our high expectations about the management of data.
“We’ve contacted all individuals involved to offer advice and support.”
