A horrific incident has happened near Tumsar-Ramtek road near Usarra bridge, a young man got killed on Wednesday night on the road. A man from the Nagpur district was killed and two others were injured in an accident in which a two-wheeler fell asleep on its way to the village after the wedding reception.
The accident took place near the Usarra bridge around 11.30 pm on Wednesday. The deceased have been identified as Prajwal Jalandhar Gaikwad (25, resident of Nayakund, Tal. Parshivani, Dist. Nagpur), while the injured have been identified as Arvind Amardeep Gajbhiye (26) and Shravan Purushottam Gajbhiye (15, resident of Daghe, Nayakund). Rahul Borkar of Usarra got married at Parsivani on Tuesday. The guests from Nayakund had come for the reception on Wednesday night. Among them were Prajwal Gaikwad, Arvind Gajbhiye, and Shravan Gajbhiye. The three were on their way to Nayakund at night after completing the reception.
Prajwal, a two-wheeler driver, was struck by a bright light while approaching a single cement road near the bridge at Usarra on the Tumsar to Ramtek road. So he saw nothing further. So the two-wheeler went down the single road. On the way back, the two fell asleep and all three fell down. Prajwal was beaten to death and Arvind and Shravan were injured. After getting information about this incident, Andhalgaon police admitted the injured to the hospital for treatment.
Road work near Usarra Bridge on Tumsar to Ramtek State Highway has been under construction for the last three years. This is a one-way street, and drivers have to work hard at night. There have been several accidents on this road so far, some of which have resulted in casualties. The villagers had also agitated for immediate completion of the road. However, the road work was not completed. So the villagers are asking how many victims the road will be repaired.

Voters defeat bond proposal for Constantine schools
Voters in the Constantine Public Schools district on Tuesday defeated a proposed 0.2 mill increase that would have generated $38.8 million for improvements.
Overall, the proposal was defeated by a vote of 754-442. That includes 146 "yes" votes and 333 "no" votes in Cass County.
Constantine Public Schools superintendent Jim Wiseley expressed disappointment Tuesday night in the result.
“We had put together a good plan that would have met the needs of the district,” he said. “I appreciate the time and commitment of the committee members and those who went out into the public to meet with stakeholders in an effort to get it passed.”
Wiseley said the district will need to discuss what to do next and come up with a plan. A similar proposal also was defeated in the district two years ago.
The proposal on Tuesday focused on consolidating the elementary buildings and addressing safety, security, and facility improvements throughout the district. It would have resulted in a tax increase of $10 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home (taxable value of $50,000). | https://www.sturgisjournal.com/story/news/2022/05/04/news-constantine-public-schools-bond-proposal-election-results/9639078002/ | 2022-05-05T08:38:06Z | https://www.sturgisjournal.com/story/news/2022/05/04/news-constantine-public-schools-bond-proposal-election-results/9639078002/ | true | 1 |
Helen Skelton has returned to Instagram after revealing that she has separated from her husband, rugby player Richie Myler.
The Countryfile host announced the news in a social media statement last month, writing that Myler has “left the family home”.
Skelton’s announcement came just four months after they welcomed their third child.
“Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple,” she told her followers. “He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co parent our small children.”
Skelton, who married Myler in 2013, accompanied the post with two broken heart emojis.
The pair have three childen together: Ernie, aged six, Louis, aged five, and Elsie Kate, who is four-months-old.
Fans noticed that in Skelton’s new Instagram post, which was a video about energy saving, the presenter was no longer wearing her wedding ring.
Skelton announced her separation from Myler shortly after sharing a post about motherhood on Saturday (23 April).
The post read: “A mama is always full of emotions, full of love, full of anxiety and worries, full of exhaustion and lack of energy, full of mum guilt and doubt, full of pride in her kids, full of pure joy.
“She feels it all, that’s the beauty of her, she carries it all too, and yet she gets up every day and does it all over again.”
Skelton launched to fame after presenting Blue Peter from 2008 to 2013.
Myler, an England national rugby league, currently plays for the Yorkshire club Leeds Rhinos.

Bioretec Ltd Company Announcement 5 May 2022 at 9.00 a.m. EEST
HELSINKI, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
INSIDE INFORMATION
Bioretec Ltd, a pioneer in bioresorbable orthopedic implants, has submitted a De Novo request for market authorization in the United States for the RemeOs™ trauma screw based on bioresorbable magnesium alloy. Bioretec estimates the market authorization in the United States to be granted during the second half of 2022. The previously communicated estimate was in the first half of 2022.
The De Novo request provides a registration pathway for novel medical devices for which there is no predicate device available in the U.S. market. In spring 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the RemeOs™ trauma screw a Breakthrough Device Designation status, demonstrating that the product represents breakthrough technology and offers significant advantages over existing approved products. The submission of the De Novo market authorization application has been preceded by interactive discussions under the FDA's Breakthrough Device program.
"Filing for market authorization for our new product in the United States is a strategic step for us, as the United States is the world's largest individual market for orthopedic trauma products. Our goal is to be the first to commercialize bioresorbable metal implants in the U.S. market. I believe there is demand in this growth market for our products that contribute to patient healing, safety, and cost-efficiency in clinical care. Our bioresorbable implants offer the healthcare system the opportunity to treat bone fractures more effectively by reducing the number of surgeries, and our innovative products have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for patients. I would like to thank our team for their hard work in reaching this milestone," says Timo Lehtonen, CEO of Bioretec.

Bioretec in brief
Bioretec is a globally operating Finnish medical device company that continues to pioneer the application of bioresorbable orthopedic implants. The company has built unique competencies in the biological interface of active implants to enhance bone growth and accelerate fracture healing after orthopedic surgery. The products developed and manufactured by Bioretec are used worldwide in approximately 40 countries.
Bioretec is developing the new RemeOs™ product line based on a magnesium alloy and hybrid composite, introducing a new generation of strong bioresorbable materials for enhanced surgical outcomes. The RemeOs™ implants are resorbed and replaced by bone, which eliminates the need for removal surgery while facilitating fracture healing. The combination has the potential to make titanium implants redundant and help clinics reach their Value-Based Healthcare targets while focusing on value for patients through efficient healthcare. With the U.S. and EU market authorization for the first RemeOs™ product expected in 2022, Bioretec is positioning itself to enter the addressable USD 7 billion global orthopedic trauma market and become a game changer in surgical possibilities.

BEIRUT: All preparations for Lebanon's parliamentary elections "have been completed", Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi announced.
"The legislative elections will take place for sure. All the preparations have been completed. The security forces are fully ready and will not hesitate to play their role," Xinhua news agency quoted Mawlawi as saying to the local media.
"The problem of the distribution of electricity has been resolved for both in the polling stations and in the premises where the vote counting commissions will sit," he was quoted as saying.
A total of 718 candidates, including 118 females, are running for the elections of the 128-seat Lebanese Parliament scheduled for May 15.
Lebanon is in dire need to hold parliamentary elections, which is among the many conditions imposed by the international organisations and donor countries to extend support to the crisis-hit country. | https://www.dtnext.in/world/2022/05/05/all-preparations-for-lebanon-parliamentary-polls-completed | 2022-05-05T08:44:37Z | https://www.dtnext.in/world/2022/05/05/all-preparations-for-lebanon-parliamentary-polls-completed | true | null |
Man City must refocus on EPL title: Pep
Manchester City have to quickly put the disappointment of their Champions League failure behind them as they resume their battle for Premier League supremacy with Liverpool at the weekend.
City were minutes away from booking a place in the final before Real Madrid produced a stunning extra-time comeback to advance to the May 28 decider against Liverpool in Paris.
With only a point separating leaders City from Liverpool in the league and four matches remaining, Pep Guardiola's side host Newcastle United on Sunday - a team they beat 4-0 away in December but who have shown much improvement recently.
Guardiola said his players felt the pressure in Madrid but must now regroup for the title run-in.
"Now we need to process that and come back, with our people at home and the last four games we have," he said.
Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and have the opportunity to retake the lead as they continue their bid for a historic quadruple of trophies.
Juergen Klopp's team is unbeaten at home in the league this season, having won 14 of 17 games at Anfield, and will be full of confidence after winning at Villarreal in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg.
Tottenham last won at Liverpool in 2011 but Spurs manager Antonio Conte said his side would go to Anfield looking to take something from the match.
"Maybe someone can think that we have to get points in other games, but I think we have to prepare for this game and to go there and try to get points," he added.
"For us, every game is vital."
Tottenham are fifth and chasing a berth in next season's Champions League but London rivals Arsenal, who are two points ahead in fourth spot, have an opportunity to solidify their advantage by beating struggling Leeds United at home on Sunday.
Norwich City have been relegated and Watford have little chance of survival, leaving Burnley (34 points), Leeds (34) and Everton (32) fighting to avoid the third relegation slot.
Burnley host Aston Villa on Saturday while Everton, who stunned Chelsea 1-0 last weekend, travel to Leicester City on Sunday.
Burnley have collected 10 points from four matches since the sacking of Sean Dyche, with interim manager Mike Jackson adopting a more attacking approach.

The Kerala High Court on Thursday rejected a plea seeking CBI probe into the killing of an RSS worker who was hacked to death in November last year in Palakkad district of the state. Justice K Haripal dismissed the petition moved by the deceased RSS worker’s widow.
The detailed order is not yet available. The state had opposed the plea saying it has arrested all the accused and that if any new agency comes in, it will have to carry out the entire process again which would delay filing of the final report and in the meanwhile, the accused might get out on bail.
A Sanjith (27) was hacked to death on November 15 last year while he was taking his wife to her workplace. Police later arrested several persons, including an officer-bearer of the Popular Front of India (PFI), in the case.
It had said that the arrested PFI office-bearer was directly involved in the killing of Sanjith who was hacked to death in front of his wife. The BJP and Sangh Parivar organisations have alleged that the activists of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), the political offshoot of PFI, were behind the broad daylight murder.
Subsequently, the police, during its investigation into the recent murder of PFI leader Subair (43) in Palakkad, had found that he was killed to allegedly avenge the murder of Sanjith. Police also claimed that the PFI leader was killed by RSS workers who were friends of Sanjith.
Seven persons have been arrested in the Subair murder case. Subair’s murder on April 15 led to the retaliatory killing of RSS leader S K Srinivasan (45) on April 16 in Palakkad, police had said.

Arthur Labinjo-Hughes' evil stepmother tried to kill herself in jail where she is serving life after torturing, abusing and murdering the six-year-old boy
- Emma Tustin was given a life sentence with a minimum of 29 years for murder
- Ex-partner Thomas Hughes was jailed for minimum of 21 years for manslaughter
- They are among five notorious killers having their jail terms reviewed
- A lawyer representing Tustin said she has attempted to kill herself three times
- Mary Prior QC said first two happened during the trial with the third in December
Arthur Labinjo-Hughes' evil stepmother tried to kill herself in jail where she is serving a life sentence after torturing, abusing and murdering the six-year-old boy.
Emma Tustin and her ex-partner Thomas Hughes inflicted a 'cruel and systematic campaign of cruelty' against his son, which included forcing Arthur to stand for up to 14-hours a day alone, depriving him of food and water and poisoning him with salt.
Tustin was given a life sentence with a minimum of 29 years after she killed Arthur by repeatedly slamming his head on a hard surface.
Hughes, 29, was jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years after being found guilty of manslaughter - but cleared of murder - for encouraging the killing, including by sending a text message to Tustin 18 hours before the fatal assault telling her 'just end him'.
Tustin and Hughes are among five notorious killers having their jail terms reviewed in a hearing at the Court of Appeal.
Mary Prior QC, representing Tustin at the hearing, said the convicted murderer had twice attempted to kill herself - once by hanging and another by drug overdose - during her criminal trial.
Ms Prior said Tustin made a third attempt on New Years Day, a few weeks after she was sentenced in December last year.
Arthur Labinjo-Hughes' evil stepmother Emma Tustin tried to kill herself in jail where she is serving a life sentence after torturing, abusing and murdering the six-year-old boy
Arthur Labinjo-Hughes (pictured) was killed by Emma Tustin and Thomas Hughes
Ms Prior said: 'Her prison report indicates there been a further episode of attempted suicide.
'On January 1, 2022, she put a ligature around her neck and the records from prison show she is on the hospital wing and has remained on the hospital wing because of significant fears of suicide.'
The court was told young Arthur faced 'systematic brutality amounting to torture' leading up to his death.
The six-year-old suffered an unsurvivable brain injury while in the sole care of Tustin on June 16, 2020.
Tustin and Hughes are appealing against the length of their sentences which are also being challenged as being unduly lenient.
Tom Little QC, representing the Attorney General's Office (AGO), said Tustin's case 'merited at the very least consideration of a whole-life order'.
He said: 'This was, we accept, not a straightforward sentencing exercise. The trial was plainly a harrowing one for all concerned.'
Mr Little said Arthur was 'subjected to the most unimaginable suffering', adding: 'This was an extremely serious example of child murder against the background of that cruelty.'
In written submissions, Mr Little said the trial judge failed to properly consider whether Tustin's offences were so serious they required a whole-life order.
He wrote: 'In the context of sadistic conduct that preceded the murder, it is submitted that murder itself was sadistically motivated.
'Even if it was not, then (Tustin)'s offending as a whole was so exceptionally serious that it was open to the judge to impose a whole-life order.
'This was not a case involving episodic criminality before the murder but systematic brutality amounting to torture.'
Hughes, 29, was jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years after being found guilty of manslaughter - but cleared of murder - for encouraging the killing, including by sending a text message to Tustin 18 hours before the fatal assault telling her 'just end him'
The barrister also said the 30-year starting point for Tustin's sentence should have been significantly increased.
However Ms Prior, for Tustin, said the sentencing judge took a 'fair and proper approach in this very difficult case'.
Ms Prior said the 'toxicity of the relationship' between Tustin and Hughes created a scenario where they both abused Arthur.
'At the very least, Thomas Hughes was encouraging Emma Tustin to be cruel, to assault and to ill-treat his son,' she added.
During Wednesday's hearing, senior judges also heard challenges and appeals from disgraced former police officer Wayne Couzens, double murderer Ian Stewart and triple killer Jordan Monaghan.
Ex-Met Police constable Couzens was handed a whole-life term last year for the rape and murder of 33-year-old Sarah Everard after he abducted her in south London on March 3 2021.
Double killer Stewart was convicted of murdering his first wife Diane Stewart six years before he went on to murder his fiancee Helen Bailey.
Monaghan was jailed in December after smothering his 24-day-old daughter Ruby as she slept in a Moses basket on New Year's Day 2013. Eight months later he smothered his 21-month-old son Logan, and six years after that he murdered his new partner Evie Adams with a drugs overdose.
The special court of five judges is considering how whole-life orders - handed down in the most serious cases when a judge believes a criminal should never be considered for release - are imposed.
Unusually, the cases are being heard by the same court, one after the other, to produce a judgment on whole-life orders and iron out any disparities in when they are used. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10785053/Arthur-Labinjo-Hughes-evil-stepmother-tried-kill-jail-serving-life.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-05T08:56:02Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10785053/Arthur-Labinjo-Hughes-evil-stepmother-tried-kill-jail-serving-life.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |

Breitling has always been an innovative, independent brand – but under Georges Kern, the brand has reached new heights.
The iconoclastic German horological maestro shocked the watch world when he left luxury giant Richemont after a fruitful 17 years with the company to head up Breitling. As The Insider has put it, “to say he has since made his mark on the 136-year-old business is something of an understatement… it would be difficult to find many aspects of the company, its collections, its marketing or its design language which are still the same as he inherited.”
Indeed, Kern’s Breitling seems to be on a real winning streak at the moment. Not only has Breitling rebooted many of its most iconic watch families – Super Chronomat, Top Time and most recently Navitimer – to great success, but it’s forging an exciting new path for the business with a novel take on boutique design, event management and brand ambassadors.
But Kern isn’t done. Not by a long shot. DMARGE sat down for an exclusive chat with the enterprising Breitling CEO during his recent (surprise) visit to Australia to talk about the way he’s transforming the business, what he thinks needs to change in the luxury watch business, and how the last two years have affected the industry.
On that note: it was Kern’s first time in Australia, and he was quick to emphasise how much he appreciated being able to get boots on the ground Down Under, which has always been a strong market for Breitling.
“You cannot run a company with Zoom. You have to be on the ground to understand, really understand what is going on and you need to see [the] competition, you need to talk to the retailers, etcetera… It’s much more helpful than any Zoom meeting and any Excel sheet or what have you.”
Kern’s visit to Australia was no accident. Sydney’s Breitling boutique, which has long been one of the region’s most successful, is currently being renovated to fit Breitling’s new boutique concept – one of the first in the world, in fact. Casual, rugged and boasting a cool drinks space where customers drop in for a cheeky cocktail, it’s very different to the typical, stuffy image of a watch boutique.
That more casual approach to selling watches is something that’s long been embraced in Australia, but it’s an ethos Kern wants to share with the rest of the world.
“Australia is a very similar market to the UK and the US, we call them outdoor markets,” he explains. “People buy different types of products. Like Italy, it’s more outdoor, it’s bulkier, it’s more male, it’s more relaxed, more casual, all that. Which by the way, fits our strategy anyway.”
“We’re doing very well in Australia. Very well, very well. But we can do much more.”
It’s weird to hear the CEO of a luxury watchmaker talk about trying to go more casual, but it’s a formula that’s been working pretty well for Breitling under Kern. As the modern definition of luxury is evolving; becoming far less exclusive and much more nuanced, luxury brands need to change.
RELATED: Breitling’s Legendary Navitimer Gets A Makeover For Its 70th Anniversary
This need for change has only accelerated during COVID, where the usual paradigm of luxury watch sales – which depended a lot on tourism, especially for markets like Australia – has been completely upended. Kern’s repositioning of Breitling, however, has let the brand weather the storm better than most.
“We are a local brand. We are not a tourist brand. We don’t depend on any Chinese sales, duty-free, tourism, or what have you,” Kern says. “We have always been a local brand and we want to stay a local brand. We want to be German for Germans, American for Americans, French for French, Australian for Australians.”
“We don’t produce products for a certain community. We are a global brand AND a local brand.”
“What we saw during COVID is that you have local consumption. So much more local than it was in the past. And I think this is there to stay.” Kern points to the real estate market as an example. “If you are afraid to fly to Bali, you buy a house in Europe, in Mallorca, wherever, because it’s closer, you feel more secure, etcetera.”
That’s why Kern’s repositioning of Breitling has been such a masterstroke: in a world where people haven’t been travelling and instead have been spending their travel money on luxury products in their local market, Breitling’s inviting and experiential approach has really set them apart from the competition.
RELATED: Breitling’s New ‘Pastel Paradise’ Watch Collection Is Quietly Brilliant
This even extends to the kind of activities the brand sponsors and the ambassadors they’re bringing on board. “I look at the values of Breitling [as] being sustainable, being casual… We talk about casual luxury and inclusiv[ity]. But inclusive in a way how we are not in tennis, we’re not in Formula 1,” Kern explains.
“We’re in surfing, triathlon, we’ve now signed with the rugby… We are much more approachable in what we are doing… I think these values [have] also helped us during COVID.”
Breitling’s latest signing, NBA champ Giannis Antetokounmpo, builds into this strategy too, Kern relates. “We’re looking for… How should I say? I mean, just cool, nice people. I mean, this guy is the sweetest and nicest guy you can imagine. And this guy’s incredible… Such a human, good heart guy. And top of that super talented. And I think this guy will be the star in the NBA for the next 10 years.”
For many watch insiders, the biggest sign of how Breitling under Kern is really challenging the status quo is the way the brand has eschewed the watch industry’s big trade shows in favour of running their own events. Breitling pulled out of Baselworld after 2019 and didn’t make the move to rival show Watches & Wonders this year.
Instead, Breitling held their own ‘do in Zürich: taking over a corner of Kloten Airport and cheekily chartering a few Swiss Airlines jumbo jets to fly journalists to Geneva while presenting their new Navitimer collection in the air a day before W&W ’22, stealing a bit of the fair’s thunder in the process – a characteristically Kern move.
“We’re totally independent because I don’t think you need a fair anymore to see journalists or clients or to reach out to consumers.”
“We have our roadshows, we have our summits, it’s super-efficient. And top of that we launch products when they’re available. So it’s from catwalk to the store.” Breitling’s continued upwards trajectory under Kern shows they must be doing something right.
What’s next for Breitling? Kern teased that they’re going to announce another high-profile American sporting ambassador and that they’re also re-launching another very important collection later on in the year. Watch this space…

"As of now, if there is hell in the world, it is in Azovstal," said Petro Andriushchenko, an adviser to the Mariupol mayor on Thursday morning.
There is non-stop shelling and assault, even at night with the adjustment of fire from drones. In some areas, hostilities are already beyond the fence of the plant,
he said.
Andriushchenko added that residential areas close to the plant "had to evacuate urgently on their own without warning."
"The last 11 square kilometers (four square miles) of freedom in Mariupol have been turned into hell", he said. | https://en.24tv.ua/intense-attacks-continued-on-the-besieged-azovstal-steel-plant_n1971733 | 2022-05-05T09:09:51Z | https://en.24tv.ua/intense-attacks-continued-on-the-besieged-azovstal-steel-plant_n1971733 | false | null |

MILAN: Across Europe, rising energy prices are testing the resolve of ordinary consumers and business owners who are caught between the continent's dependence on cheap Russian energy and its revulsion over President
Vladimir Putin's invasion of
Ukraine.
European Union countries import 40 per cent of gas and 25 per cent of oil from Russia, and the current EU timetable doesn't foresee energy independence from Moscow for another five years. As atrocities unfold, the EU is looking to sharpen sanctions.
The EU's executive commission on Wednesday proposed phasing out imports of crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of 2022. It must be approved by all 27 member countries, which will be a battle because some are more dependent on Russian oil than others. Still, oil is easier to replace than natural gas, which is used to generate electricity and power industries.
In a poll of 1,230 random voters published last month by German public broadcaster ZDF, 28 per cent said the country should halt natural gas and oil imports immediately, even if it means supply problems, while 54 per cent said it should only happen if the supply is largely secured, and 14 per cent opposed a ban.
It shows how the economic blow is increasingly falling to consumers and businesses, who already saw natural gas prices start to soar last summer. Some of their stories:

HELP FOR THE POOR IN MILAN
Struggling residents of one of Italy's lowest-income neighborhoods on Milan's periphery line up twice a week to ask for help making ends meet. Increasingly, they come clutching utility bills.
Since energy prices began spiking, a kindly three-woman panel that adjudicates the requests at Santa Lucia parish in Quarto Oggiaro have another resource to help the needy: an energy packet funded by the A2A energy company that offers up to 300 euros a year to families who can't pay their higher utility bills. About 100 families have qualified since September.
Alessandra Travaglini, 54, hit the maximum even before the war as her utility bill doubled to over 120 euros. She has been out of work as an in-home caregiver for two months and hopes the parish can give her even more help.
There's not much room for cutting back on energy use.
"I don't cook a lot. I run the washing machine only in the evening or on weekends. I take short showers, I use the oven maybe once a month, and I iron once, maybe twice, a week,'' Travaglini said. "I am scared. ''
She worries that if Italy cuts off Russian energy or if Moscow halts supplies, her life will get even harder.
"I think they have to buy it from Russia, for now,'' she said. "But for me, Italy has adopted the wrong strategy, because we have become enemies. I think that if Mr.
Putin pushes the button, we will be the first targets" in any nuclear attack.
Roberto Bertolini can't cover his last bimonthly electricity bill of 180 euros on his monthly income of 550 euros, working just three hours a day caring for disabled adults.
The war feels especially close for Bertolini. As soon as he retires, the 66-year-old plans to join his wife in Hungary, which borders Ukraine. He does not think Italy should be buying gas from Russia.
"These sacrifices need to be made,'' he said. "When I see those images, I change the channel. It is too horrible - women raped, children attacked. They are not easy images. Not showing them isn't right. But for me, I just can't look."

Kritztian Kobela-Piko, a gas fitter and plumber in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, sees his profession intimately connected with his country's relationship to Russian energy. And with the capital just a couple of hundred kilometers (miles) from Ukraine, the war is hardly a distant reality.
The 41-year-old independent contractor installs gas boilers, using materials that have become exponentially more expensive. He said he sympathizes with the war's victims and would be willing to make personal sacrifices if it meant Ukrainians could better defend themselves.
"At most, I will have to tighten my belt a little," Kobela-Piko said. "But these sacrifices are nothing compared to the situation of people living in Ukraine. I think that this sacrifice is the minimum, something I would do any time out of solidarity."
Since the war began, many clients have been converting their home heating systems to electricity, uncertain about the future of natural gas.
While Kobela-Piko believes harsher sanctions against Moscow is the right strategy, he said Hungary's geopolitical situation makes breaking its dependence on Russian energy nearly impossible. Hungary, a former member of the Soviet bloc, gets 85 per cent of its gas and more than 60 per cent of its oil from Russia.
Putting pressure on a country that Hungary depends on for its energy resources "is a very unpleasant situation," he said.

RUSSIAN GAS FOR GERMAN
GLASSCarletta Heinz is calculating the impact of a gas cutoff for the 400-year-old glass company she took over from her father as the 13th generation - and for communities in the heart of a glassmaking district in eastern Germany.
The Heinz-Glas Group, which makes bottles for international cosmetic and perfume brands, would have to close a gas-fired facility in the town of Piesau. That would ruin tanks that need to stay above 900 degrees Celsius (1,650 degrees Fahrenheit) to keep molten glass from solidifying. If Piesau has to shut down, it can't be restarted, and production would go elsewhere.
The company already has transitioned to electricity at headquarters in nearby Kleintettau to lower carbon emissions, but it still needs gas for some processes there.
If a gas boycott leads to government-imposed rationing, Heinz said, then Germany must ensure that glassmakers get at least 70 per cent of their current energy to keep tanks hot and avoid widespread equipment losses. In case of a dire shortage, EU law requires governments to shut off gas to businesses to spare homes and hospitals.
Beyond her company, she is worried about the impact on glass-making companies near the border between the Thuringia and Bavaria regions, which employ 5,000 people directly and 8,000 others indirectly.
Job losses could mean higher carbon emissions if production shifts to countries with fewer environmental protections, said Heinz, 38.
"In Germany, we're more developed regarding environmental protection. Glass will still be needed and would be produced in other countries, which for our planet would be definitely worse," she said
"I am just of the opinion that you first need alternatives. Naturally I'm for everything that hurts Russia and helps Ukraine,'' Heinz added. "But we need to keep our industry in mind and see that we have a future, because if our industry is ruined then our country can't help anyone else."

SANCTIONS BLOWBACK IN BULGARIA
Nikolay Belev's income as a construction worker in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia is not keeping pace with gas and oil prices. And he is not ready to take on more pain for Russian sanctions, which he thinks are improper and will only bring more inequity in the EU's poorest member state.
"These sanctions are meant to weaken Russia's economy, but in the end, they hit back on my country and particularly on the people with lower incomes, who are the real victims of these sanctions" said Belev. He also complained that higher energy prices have driven up the costs of his materials - as much as 30 per cent in the last two months.
Bulgaria, a nation of 6.5 million people, once was among Moscow's closest allies during the Soviet era. Now a NATO and EU member, it is still heavily dependent on Russian energy. Its only oil refinery is owned by Russia's Lukoil, supplying nearly two-thirds of the country's energy needs.
The only nuclear power plant, generating over a third of Bulgaria's electricity, runs on uranium from Russia.
The current centrist coalition government is trying to get on a clearer pro-Western path by looking elsewhere for energy, including gas from Azerbaijan or liquefied natural gas via an pipeline with Greece. The LNG option will mean higher prices.
For
Veselina Marinova, an editor who lives with her husband and 83-year-old mother, paying more for energy is a small sacrifice when weighed against the deaths of civilians in Ukraine.
"Nothing can justify the military aggression against a democratic country," she said. "Of course, my family's income will suffer because of the inflation fueled by the war. I am always aware that a severe crisis is looming, and that life will get harder. I do believe, however, that we must stay on the right track." | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/oil-and-gas/europeans-weigh-costs-of-cutting-russian-energy-over-ukraine/91340081 | 2022-05-05T09:11:37Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/oil-and-gas/europeans-weigh-costs-of-cutting-russian-energy-over-ukraine/91340081 | false | 53 |
Hong Kong – Hong Kong has emerged as a more unequal city, its freedoms curtailed and international shine dulled after five years with Carrie Lam at the helm, analysts say, as her turbulent leadership draws to an end.
Lam, Hong Kong’s first female leader, took office promising to heal divisions and tackle livelihood issues, especially a housing crisis.
Her term was instead dominated by massive pro-democracy protests and Beijing’s subsequent crackdown, as well as a “COVID-zero” pandemic strategy that kept the city isolated while rivals reopened.
She is on track to depart at the end of June with the lowest approval ratings of any leader since the handover from Britain.
In her final policy address last October, Lam described Hong Kong as “much stronger than ever” after China intervened to ensure stability.
Her government survived the mass protest movement, but many say she failed to deliver on life improvement pledges — which even China’s leadership says are at the heart of the city’s “deep-rooted social conflicts.”
Last year, 1.65 million Hong Kongers — nearly 1 in 4 — were living below the government’s official poverty line, which for a one-person household means 4,400 Hong Kong dollars ($560) a month.
This was the highest level since records began 12 years ago.
“The grassroots have been very neglected,” said Sze Lai-shan, deputy director of the Society for Community Organization.
“Sometimes it feels like (the government) is living on a different planet.”
Even pro-establishment figures have been unimpressed.
“You may say (Lam) has been working very hard, but little has been achieved in solving the deteriorating livelihood issues and Hong Kong’s deep-rooted conflicts,” senior Beijing adviser Lau Siu-kai said.
Last July, China’s top official on Hong Kong affairs Xia Baolong gave a speech widely seen as a reflection of Beijing’s growing impatience with the housing crisis, something every leader since the 1997 handover has failed to solve.
The city, Xia said, must “say goodbye” to cage homes and the tiny shared apartment rooms where some 220,000 Hong Kongers still dwell.
Hong Kong has long held the title of the world’s most unaffordable housing market, where a study this year showed the median property price is 23 times the median household income.
Lam increased public housing supply, more than her predecessors, but demand still outstripped supply with the wait time increasing to six years.
Chan Kim-ching, a land-use researcher at the Liber Research Community, said Lam overly prioritized building flats to buy.
“By putting home ownership as the goal, it exacerbated the wealth inequality in society,” Chan said.
“(Lam’s) policies do not target those in the greatest need. There is a mismatch.”
The last two years of Lam’s term also witnessed a historic outflow of people — fleeing either the political crackdown or some of the world’s strictest pandemic controls.
The departures surged further this year when Hong Kong’s COVID-zero policy collapsed as the more transmissible omicron variant broke through, killing more than 9,000 people, mostly under-vaccinated elderly.
A net 160,000 people departed Hong Kong in the first three months of the year.
Lam recently acknowledged that the curbs had caused a brain drain among foreign businesses, saying it was an “undeniable fact.”
Meanwhile, Beijing’s ongoing efforts to reshape Hong Kong’s political landscape sparked another emigration wave among locals.
After the 2019 protests were crushed, China imposed a sweeping national security law that criminalized dissent and transformed the once outspoken city.
Police arrested 182 people under the security law. Most of the city’s prominent democracy activists are either in jail or have fled overseas.
In the annual international press freedom chart released this week by Reporters Without Borders, Hong Kong plummeted from 80th to 148th place.
Frances Hui, an activist granted asylum in the United States, described Lam as an “obedient enforcer” of Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s agenda.
“She accelerated the suppression of freedoms,” Hui said.
The Hong Kong diaspora is steadily growing in places like Britain, Canada and the United States.
“I didn’t expect that taking part in activism will lead to me having to seek asylum,” Hui said.
“That’s a reflection of how far Hong Kong has fallen.”

TOKYO:
Japan would face "difficulty" to immediately follow a move to cut off Russian oil imports over the invasion of Ukraine, its minister of economy, trade, and industry
Koichi Hagiuda said on Thursday.
Hagiuda made the remark during a visit to Washington, after the
European Union's executive on Wednesday proposed the toughest package of sanctions yet against Moscow, including the embargo on crude oil.
US President
Joe Biden said he would discuss further sanctions against Russia with other leaders from the Group of Seven (G7) advanced economies this week, which could pressure Japan which is wary of the impact of the oil embargo.
"Given Japan has its limit on resources, we would face some difficulty to keep in step immediately" with other countries, Hagiuda told reporters.
During a meeting with US Secretary of
Commerce Gina Raimondo, the two agreed on basic principles on semiconductor cooperation, aiming to diversify chip-making capacity, boost transparency, an emergency response to shortages and R&D.
"As the world is destabilising after the war in Ukraine, coordination with like-minded countries is becoming more and more important. (Today's) talks served as a major step towards advancing the Japan-US relationship."
In a separate meeting with U.S Energy Secretary
Jennifer Granholm, Hagiuda asked the United States to boost liquefied natural gas (
LNG) output to help Japan reduce its energy reliance on Russia.
Russia oil imports accounted for 4% of Japan's overall oil imports for the last fiscal year to March. Natural gas from Moscow made up 9% of Tokyo's imports and Russia coal imports accounted for 11%.
Japan would provide public financing to help Japanese firms undertake LNG projects in the United States to lay the ground for investment, Hagiuda said.
The two sides agreed to form initiatives aimed at discussing on a regular basis clean energy technology and energy security given the Ukraine crisis, they said in a joint statement. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/oil-and-gas/japan-says-difficult-to-immediately-follow-russia-oil-embargo/91339091 | 2022-05-05T09:12:28Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/oil-and-gas/japan-says-difficult-to-immediately-follow-russia-oil-embargo/91339091 | false | 8 |

How rate hike will bring inflation under control: Experts explain
2 min read . Updated: 05 May 2022, 01:51 PM IST- Inflation in India has reached 6.95%, which is much higher than the safe zone of 6 per cent
In a move that will raise borrowing costs, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has hiked the benchmark lending rate by 40 basis points (bps) to 4.40 per cent. After announcing the rate hike, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said that this was essential to contain inflation that has remained above the target of 6 per cent for the last three months.
This is the first-rate hike since August 2018 and the first instance of the MPC making an unscheduled increase in the repo rate. The repo rate is the rate at which banks borrow from the RBI.
Experts explain how rate hike will bring inflation under control.
Dr Ravi Singh, vice President and head of Research Share india said post covid pandemic, government has announced several fiscal reforms and kept the interest rate lower for the revival of the economy. This led to an increase in the liquidity and the purchasing power of the consumer. Implementing the rate hikes is an effort to stabilize runaway inflation.
By increasing borrowing costs, rising interest rates discourage consumer and business spending and helps in curbing the inflation, he added
Inflation in India has reached 6.95%, which is much higher than the safe zone of 6%. “Due to the rise in inflation, it was inevitable that the government will increase the repo rate and reduce the money supply in the market," Hritesh Lohiya, Co-Founder, PRiti International Limited said.
“From a growth-based stance, the government’s key focus is now to control the rise in inflation. The Indian government has had an accommodative stance in the past and now it is set for a change," he added.
The Indian government has defined inflation in the range of 4-6% for the economy to function correctly till December 26. Nidhi Agarwal, Founder, SpaceMantra said the current rate has reached 6.95% and is cautionary. Hence, it was inevitable that the RBI will increase the repo rate as well as the cash reserve ratio to soften demand and liquidity, thereby controlling inflation.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that though the rate hike is a prudent step, the present inflationary pressure is rooted in global phenomena such as escalating energy prices.
She further added that the surge in energy prices will continue to weigh on the economic health and the rate hike will have a limited impact. | https://www.livemint.com/news/india/how-rate-hike-will-bring-inflation-under-control-experts-explain-11651737968756.html | 2022-05-05T09:23:36Z | https://www.livemint.com/news/india/how-rate-hike-will-bring-inflation-under-control-experts-explain-11651737968756.html | false | 1 |

Which double boiler is best?
If you like to spend time in the kitchen whipping up dreamy soups, delectable sauces and delicious chocolate-covered desserts, you need a good double boiler. A double boiler is the perfect kitchenware for heating delicate, easy-to-burn foods such as the ones listed. You can try to MacGyver one with what you have around, but you’re likely to burn yourself along with your food.
The best double boiler is the RSVP International Induction Double Boiler. It’s well-made and can be used on induction stovetops and in the oven.
What to know before you buy a double boiler
How it works
Double boilers are made up of the bottom pot, the top insert and sometimes a lid. The bottom pot is extra large to hold an equally large amount of water. Your heat source boils the water to produce steam. The top insert then sits on top of the bottom pot and seals the steam inside so none escapes. The steam then gently and evenly heats the top insert to delicately cook your most delicate foods.
Size and capacity
Double boilers come in a wide range of sizes and capacities. Some are as small as half a quart, while others can hold up to 20 quarts, though most hold either 2 or 4 quarts. When shopping for a double boiler, you need to keep two things in mind: size and capacity. First, don’t buy a larger size than you need — having too large a boiler means you can’t effectively cook smaller quantities of food and it makes it harder on you to clean. Secondly, pay attention to which section’s capacity is listed — some list the bottom pot’s capacity and others list the top insert’s capacity.
What to look for in a quality double boiler
Material
Most double boilers are made of aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum is more affordable but isn’t as durable. However, the best boilers use a mix of the two — the exterior and interior are made of stainless steel but a thin inner layer of aluminum is used to promote more even heat distribution.
Handles
Double boiler handles are surprisingly varied. The most important aspects to consider are how they’re attached and whether they stay cool throughout use. Look for welded or riveted handles and product listings that explicitly state the handles are cool touch or something similar.
How much you can expect to spend on a double boiler
Double boilers cost anywhere from $10-$200-plus. Most cost less than $50 and are designed for use in any standard kitchen. Huge professional-grade double boilers typically start at $100 and go up with the size.
Double boiler FAQ
Why should I use a double boiler?
A. Double boilers have a long list of benefits that make them a must for every cook.
- They are even and precise: The way double boilers work places them among the most even heating cookware you can find. Additionally, it’s much easier to reach and maintain a precise temperature.
- Special equipment for special food: Delicate foods such as chocolate and most anything egg-based are highly prone to scorching or burning if the heat isn’t perfectly applied. Foods that need to sit still and stay hot for long periods, such as soups and sauces, are also likely to burn if left in direct contact with the heat source rather than the gentle heating of steam.
- Easy to use: Double boilers are practically as easy to use as placing a standard saucepan right on your stove. Just fill the bottom with water and place in the insert.
- Long-lasting: Most double boilers are built tough as they need to deal with constant high levels of heat. Get the right one and it will last for many years.
How do I clean a double boiler?
A. Cleaning a double boiler is usually as simple as throwing everything in the dishwasher. That said, some components are either no dishwasher-safe or are too big to fit. In these situations, simply clean the components with a soft sponge, hot water and a few drops of dish soap. Never use scouring pads — they can scratch and damage the pot and insert.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland and Sweden are co-hosting an international donors’ conference on Thursday in Warsaw to raise funds for humanitarian efforts to help war-torn Ukraine, where thousands have been killed, cities devastated and millions of people displaced by Russia’s attack.
Poland’s government says that Ukraine’s needs are huge — despite funds already donated — due to the large scale of damage from the war, and that millions of Ukrainians require urgent help.
The High-Level International Donors’ Conference for Ukraine is jointly organized by the Polish and Swedish prime ministers in collaboration with the European Commission and European Council presidents.
The aims are to allow the international community to announce new pledges to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of Ukrainian society and to create a forum to discuss how to support Ukrainian society over the longer term.
The co-hosts are prime ministers Mateusz Morawiecki of Poland and Magdalena Andersson of Sweden.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to give a video address to the participants, who are gathering in Warsaw’s National Stadium.

Fed Hikes 50bp With Much More To Come
Summary
- The Fed has hiked 50bp and is formally starting quantitative tightening as it seeks to get a grip on inflation.
- The Fed acknowledges that "ongoing increases" will be required with Chair Jay Powell giving the green light to a series of 50bp+ rate hikes.
- We look for a 3.25% peak given the prospect that inflation will be far stickier than in recent cycles.
By James Knightley, Padhraic Garvey, CFA, Francesco Pesole
Fed steps on the accelerator to combat inflation
The Fed has shrugged off the surprise 1Q GDP contraction and pushed ahead with a 50bp interest rate increase and announced Quantitative Tightening (QT) as it belatedly seeks to get a grip on inflation. The Fed is now "highly attentive" to inflation risks, and amid "robust" job gains, "ongoing increases" in the Fed funds rate will be "appropriate". It is starting QT at $47.5bn per month on June 1st ($30bn Treasuries and $17.5bn agency MBS), before getting to a "max" of $95bn in September ($60bn Treasuries, $35bn agency MBS).
This is the first 50bp move since May 2000 and underlines the new urgency the Fed has in an environment where inflation is 8.5% and a tight labour market and surging employment costs risk making inflation much stickier than in previous cycles. After all, oil and food prices can eventually fall. Wages and employee benefits don’t.
Moreover, corporate pricing power remains strong, and with China lockdowns continuing and geopolitical tensions staying high, there seems little immediate prospect that the Fed will get any help in its fight against inflation from falling commodity, freight or component costs.
Risks are skewed towards swifter and harder policy tightening
The chart above shows what is currently priced for Fed rate hikes versus previous cycles. It doesn’t look especially aggressive given the position the economy is currently in. In the press conference, Chair Powell suggested ongoing 50bp rate hikes are "on the table" for the next couple of meetings. Nonetheless, despite Chair Powell's caution on the matter, we would not rule out a 75bp rate hike in June - the market has been midway between 50bp and 75bp over the past week, and Powell also admitted the need to be "nimble".
The Fed minutes to the March FOMC meeting admitted were it not for the uncertainty caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, they would have likely raised rates by 50bp rather than 25bp in March. Today’s 50bp move followed by 75bp in June, it could be argued, will allow the Fed to “catch up” and leave the Fed in a position that it is more comfortable in.
We then expect a further 50bp hike in July before the Bank moves to 25bp increments at the final three meetings of 2022 as quantitative tightening gets up to speed and contributes to the tighter monetary conditions.
The Fed has said that $95bn per month is the maximum QT they will do. $95bn per month reduction in the balance sheet is a little over 1% of the outstanding right now. In comparison, the Bank of Canada is more aggressive and is not incorporating caps in the amount of bonds that are allowed to mature each month, and will see their balance sheet shrink by around 40% over the next two years. There is also some talk the Bank of England could directly sell assets. Should US inflation fail to slow as hoped, we cannot entirely rule out the possibility of the Fed accelerating its QT at a future meeting.
Cuts to come in 2023?
Looking further ahead faster, sharper interest rate increases come with a greater risk of an adverse economic reaction. This is indeed already prompting some talk of an economic slowdown, and even a recession. We are not in the recession camp, but if we see the Fed move interest rates quickly into restrictive territory and growth slow markedly and inflation heads towards target, the Fed could quickly reverse course. Between 1970 and 2000, the average length of time between the last rate hike in a cycle and the first rate cut was only three months. Over the past 20 years, it has been three quarters. We are currently looking for a 1Q 2023 peak in the Fed funds rate, with policy starting to move to a more neutral footing from 4Q 2023.
Mixed implications for markets on inflation expectations and repo
While the Fed likely won’t admit it, we’re convinced they will be taking a close look at the impact on long-run inflation expectations post the FOMC. Currently in the 1.8% area, the 10yr inflation expectation is just about tolerably below a 3% handle. The Fed would like to keep it that way. Ideally, the 10yr inflation expectation would trend back down to the 2.5% area. That would imply that the Fed has control of expectations. The risk, however, is for inflation expectations to break above 3%. Should that occur, the case for a 75bp hike in June would build. The immediate reaction has been muted, on both real rates and inflation expectations, but we need to continue to monitor this important space.
The repo market has struggled with market conditions that are to a significant extent a legacy of the Fed’s bond buying program. The market has been left with an excess of liquidity over available collateral, pushing down on repo rates and making it difficult to compete with the 30bp on offer at the Fed’s reverse repo window. While strong tax receipts are exacerbating this through less bills issuance, the sooner the Fed rolls off a chunk of its balance sheet, the better from a repo market perspective. Here there has been mixed news, with a USD 95bn per month roll-off confirmed, but starting at a more gradual space. Based off this, material impact on repo is a number of quarters away.
FX: Dollar unlikely to turn lower anytime soon
As we expected, the initial knee-jerk “sell-the-fact” reaction in the dollar as the Fed delivered the 50bp hike was very short-lived, and the greenback is now trading around or moderately higher than the pre-announcement levels.
In a longer-term perspective, the FOMC’s focus on fighting inflation and front-loading rate hikes continues to point at a supported dollar in the summer months. The Fed is not going to be the only factor keeping the dollar strong in the coming weeks, as an external environment dominated by unstable risk sentiment, lingering geopolitical risk in Ukraine, generalised lower appetite for EM assets as the Fed tightens and Covid-related risk in China all suggest markets will be reluctant to unwind their long dollar positions anytime soon.
EUR/USD remains at risk of moving below 1.0500 in the coming days, especially if US jobs data on Friday fuel expectations around potentially larger than 50bp rate hikes in the future, or if more negatives related to geopolitics/implications for the energy market end up being priced into the euro.

Ruth Dodsworth not letting coercive control 'define life'
- Published
A broadcaster who endured almost a decade of domestic and coercive abuse said she will not let it define the rest of her life.
Ruth Dodsworth's ex-husband Jonathan Wignall was jailed in April for stalking and coercive control.
The ITV Wales presenter said he would call up to 200 times a day, demand she leave work to eat lunch with him and delete contacts from her phone.
She now explores the form of abuse in a new TV programme.
In Controlled By My Partner? The Hidden Abuse, previously unseen police footage will be shown of the moment Wignall was arrested.
The nightclub owner was sentenced to three years in prison after subjecting her to a nine-year campaign of abuse.
On the show, Ms Dodsworth said it took her years to recognise she was being abused by her husband of nearly 18 years.
"I had no idea that the threats and manipulation my ex-husband used for almost a decade were actually a pattern of criminal behaviour.
"He would call me dozens of times a day, wanting to know where I was and who I was with. He would check my phone and even delete contacts from it.
"He would turn up at my workplace, or insist that I leave the studio to eat lunch with him in his car."
Thought of early release 'terrifying'
The 46-year-old said the thought of Wignall being released after serving less than half his sentence is "terrifying".
She told BBC Radio Wales: "My fear is that when he was initially sentenced, the judge told him 'you are a danger to your ex wife and children, and you are evil'.
"A year behind bars, how much of that will have changed?
"My worry is he will come out a far more dangerous person than he was when he went in and I am really scared about him coming out.
"It wasn't until my own children began to fear for my safety that I realised what was going on wasn't normal.
"I thought it was the right thing to do to keep my family together, I didn't want my children to come from a broken home."
Her 18-year-old daughter Grace said "this was our lives" because "it was normal for us".
"And then all of a sudden we're having all these professionals telling us that's not right, and everything we've known is pretty much gone."
The offence of coercive and controlling behaviour was only recognised as a crime in England and Wales from December 2015.
Similar offences were brought into law in Scotland in 2019 and Northern Ireland last year.
Since 2015 police forces in England and Wales have had more than 60,000 reports of the crime, with domestic abuse being reported more than three million times in the same time period.
'You can have a life after abuse'
Despite suffering abuse at the hands of Wignall for almost a decade, Ms Dodworth said she is now happy and remarried.
She wants people going through what she did to know: "You can have a life after domestic abuse and coercive control and that's what I'm doing."
PC Mike Taggart, from North Wales Police, said officers need to be trained to ensure victims feel safe when they report abuse.
"We can still take that action against that perpetrator and hopefully ultimately protect the victim."
The Home Office said its Domestic Abuse Act would later this year mean the offence of controlling or coercive behaviour could apply to intimate partners, ex-partners or family members, regardless of whether the victim and perpetrator live together, offering wider protection to victims.

Davison relaxed about Supercars future
Will Davison is confident his solid 2022 form will help sort his future in Supercars with Dick Johnson Racing.
While the Ford team is traditionally cagey about contract lengths, its understood that Davison is in the second of what was a two-year deal when he signed last year.
It's a good time for Davison to be out of contract, too, the veteran enjoying a very positive start to his 2022 campaign.
That includes a victory in Perth last weekend, his first win since 2016, and five other podiums from the first 12 races of the season.
Speaking about his future after that Perth win, Davison made it clear he wants to race on for the next few years, and that his future will sort itself out if he keeps delivering results.
"I feel like I'm driving as good [as ever] and I've only got more to come this year, because I've got the hunger of a rookie," he told the Castrol Motorsport News podcast.
"That's the main thing, I still feel fit and fresh and my motivation and want to be there is as high as ever. And the nerves.
"So definitely, I'm super keen to continue driving for a few more years.
Ultimately, I'm just focussing on the driving and enjoying every moment. [The future] will take care of itself. I'm certainly not going anywhere."
Davison looks to have at least closed the gap, and perhaps even taken an edge, in outright pace over teammate Anton De Pasquale this season.
Last season De Pasquale took 11 pole positions to Davison's two, however Davison has already doubled that tally with four poles this year, more than any other driver, including De Pasquale who has three to his name.
According to Davison the upswing in outright pace is a product of working closely with De Pasquale to get the best out of the Shell Mustang package.
"[Anton is] amazing over a lap," he said. "We're working well together, and I think we've just unlocked a few things that naturally happens.
"I never lost faith in myself at all. I'd sat out for a year [in 2020] and then last year I had a couple of poles in Darwin and probably six or seven front rows. And we're just unlocking a few things in the car for me.
"We've both had quite a few poles this year. We're working well together, it's a really good environment in our team. We are pushing each other.
"I'm a big fan of him and I think he's got respect for me as well. It's really healthy for the team and I think he knows I've still got plenty of pace in me.
"It's good, I'm loving that feeling again. I won the pole award in 2012. I believe in the right scenario I can be very good in qualifying.
"It's such a cool feeling to be able to unlock the speed again and have such a fast car. It's the ultimate, going flat out over a lap. I mean we want to win the races but it's cool."

SALEM — Sam Cioffi was “on top of the world” after setting the single-season goal-scoring record for the Salem State University men’s lacrosse team last Friday.
“As his parents we were so proud of him,” his mother, Sally Cioffi, said. “Yet we were still worried knowing the temptations he faced.”
The family’s worst fears were realized two days later when Sam Cioffi died on Sunday at the age of 22. At a vigil in his memory on Tuesday on the same field where he set the record, his mother shared that Sam suffered from mental illness and struggled with drug addiction.
“Sunday morning our lives changed forever,” Sally Cioffi said to the gathering of friends and family, including Sam’s lacrosse teammates, at Salem State’s Alumni Field. “If we can prevent just one life from ending so tragically by talking openly about Sam’s struggles, we are committed to do so.”
Sam Cioffi, who lived in Beverly, graduated from Marblehead High School in 2018 and had been a top lacrosse recruit for the University of Vermont. Sally Cioffi said her family was “so optimistic” earlier this year when Sam decided to attend Salem State, live at home and play lacrosse again.
“Lacrosse was a huge part of his life,” she said. “We thought this would be his comeback because he was so happy when he was on this field.”
“We tried everything to help Sam,” she said.
Sally Cioffi said her son was “so many wonderful things rolled into one young man who we were incredibly proud of,” including being a great son and brother, a gifted athlete and a team player.
“It is so hard to imagine that our star player isn’t on the field tonight,” she said.
Speaking at the vigil, Salem State Athletic Director Nicolle Wood called Cioffi’s death a “devastating loss.”
“He had a smile as big as this field and an engaging presence about him that made you feel as if you’d known him forever even if you had just met him,” Wood said.
Salem State lacrosse coach Steve Driscoll said Cioffi was a big part of a team that emphasized their love for each other.
“To Sam, thank you for letting me be a small part of your life,” Driscoll said. “You will always be a part of ours.”

Kroos reveals he advised Ancelotti on touchline over which Real Madrid substitutes to bring on in Man City win
Toni Kroos has revealed that he played a part in Real Madrid’s remarkable Champions League victory over Manchester City on and off the field, with the German midfielder advising Carlo Ancelotti on second-half substitutions during a thrilling semi-final contest at Santiago Bernabeu.
The Blancos appeared to be down and out in that contest heading into the closing stages, after seeing Riyad Mahrez put the Blues two goals up on aggregate, but a stoppage-time brace from Rodrygo took the tie to extra-time.
The Brazilian had been introduced for World Cup winner Kroos in the 68th minute and paved the way for Karim Benzema to go on and convert an extra-time penalty that sent Real through, with vast experience put to good use on the touchline as members of the playing and coaching staff put collective heads together.

How did Kroos help Ancelotti in Real Madrid’s win over Man City?
The 32-year-old had made little impact on proceedings prior to his withdrawal with 22 minutes left on the clock, but he was happy to help Ancelotti out when it came to impacting proceedings with big calls from the bench.
Kroos told DAZN afterwards: “The coach himself had a few doubts about who he would bring on and who not to bring on.
“We (Madrid's players) have all seen a few football games ourselves. That allows you to exchange ideas a bit.
“That describes him (Ancelotti) really well and why things always work well with the team. It's outstanding. In the end he decides, but of course he's interested in our opinion.”
While Rodrygo made the greatest contribution to Real’s cause, Ancelotti also saw Eduardo Camavinga impress off the bench.
Marco Asensio was another replacement to put in an energetic display, while Dani Ceballos, Jesus Vallejo and Lucas Vazquez were introduced during extra-time to help see things out.
How did Real Madrid pull off a stunning win over Man City?
Plenty have written the Blancos off at various points of their 2021-22 campaign, with a treacherous road to the final being trodden by the newly-crowned La Liga title winners.
They eased through the group stage, dropping just three points in a shock defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol, but have had to go through Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in the knockout rounds.
As they count down the days to a meeting with Liverpool at Stade de France on May 28, Kroos has said of Real’s remarkable battling qualities: “It's amazing, we were out 26 times during the knockout phase and fought back 26 times.
“It's sometimes difficult to explain, even for me, what happened in the last few minutes. That's the belief, that's the stadium, the combination is magical.” | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/kroos-advised-ancelotti-real-madrid-substitutes-man-city-win/bltb7c5c9b5aab692b0 | 2022-05-05T10:03:25Z | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/kroos-advised-ancelotti-real-madrid-substitutes-man-city-win/bltb7c5c9b5aab692b0 | false | 10 |
So they've ordered a mass clean-up - an army of people disinfecting thousands of compounds and residential areas aiming to eradicate the virus.
Then China's financial capital will open up, but it will be gradual, tentative, cautious.
The brutal "war" against Omicron has left a scarred city. People as old as 100 were among those who tested positive and were taken to quarantine centres. There were very few exceptions.
In the five weeks that I've been locked down, unable to go any further than the gate at the end of my compound, it's Shanghai's most vulnerable who've suffered the most.
One man called Wu who was quarantined documented what he saw on Douyin (known as TikTok outside of China). "We don't have enough medical resources now, they can't be treated in hospital like in normal days," he said.
At one point he saw an 85-year-old woman who fell ill. She was saved by emergency medics.
We've heard harrowing stories from the family of a 90-year-old woman taken in after she tested positive. Officials insisted she be sent to a government facility.
Her family, who asked not to be identified, were worried about her eating and how she'd go to the toilet on her own. Her husband, also in his 90s and bedridden, was able to stay at home.
Others have told of us about more dire circumstances for patients in a hospital that was hit by this wave of Covid-19 early on. Last month we reported on patients at Donghai Elderly Care Hospital who died after testing positive. This was while the official death toll in the city was zero.
One man told us his 90-year-old sister had died, sharing a room with five others. He has contacted us again and told us all the others in her room have since died.
The BBC has seen a text exchange with a care giver from the hospital who said "a lot died in the intensive care wards", but they added they were "not sure about exact numbers". | https://www.loopvanuatu.com/coronavirus/how-covid-scarred-shanghai-will-finally-exit-lockdown-112090 | 2022-05-05T10:04:55Z | https://www.loopvanuatu.com/coronavirus/how-covid-scarred-shanghai-will-finally-exit-lockdown-112090 | true | 4 |
A lot has changed in Jonathan Miller's life in the past decade, but one thing that's remained consistent is his house.
The brick two-bedroom, ranch-style house in West Des Moines, Iowa, is filled with Jonathan's art, photos, puzzles and a substantial collection of University of Iowa gear.
Jon bought the house in 2007, and for three years put a lot of work into the fixer-upper — repairing storm damage, planting trees in the backyard and completely remodeling the interior.
Then, in the summer of 2010, when Jon was 25, he suffered a major stroke. Doctors diagnosed the cause as advanced testicular cancer, which had metastasized to his brain. One of the tumors in his brain ruptured, paralyzing his left side.
"He asked the cancer doctor — the oncologist — what his chances of living would be. And he said 18 to 20 percent," said Don Miller, Jon's father. "Jon's reaction was, 'Those aren't bad odds.' And so I mean, that just showed his willingness to fight."
Jon spent a year in Iowa City undergoing aggressive therapy, and against those odds, he survived. But Don said the stroke and cancer treatment, which included chemotherapy, radiation and two stem cell transplants, left his son's brain severely damaged.
With his son and wife, Laurita, beside him, Don explained that Jon is legally blind and has difficulty speaking, hearing and walking. But he receives several kinds of therapy, and is making improvements.
"He can't stand without someone supporting him, guarding him and guiding him, helping him transition into a wheelchair for getting around," Don said.
Jonathan has stayed in his house thanks to additions like wheelchair ramps and support bars in the bathroom — and help from home health aides. He needs 12 hours of support a day.
"Jon's biggest single goal has always been to get to stay in his house," Don said. "This is Jon's home."
But achieving that goal has become more difficult lately. Don said all of the home health agencies responsible for Jon's care are understaffed, meaning Don and Laurita are frequently rushing over to their son's house, often on short notice, when there's no aide available.
As they get older and face health challenges of their own, Don said they've been looking at institutional care. Jon, now 36, doesn't know.
"It put us in a spot where are looking at alternatives that would take him out of the home. It's the one thing that he [doesn't] want," Don said.
More seniors and people with disabilities are choosing to stay in their homes — and with the number of adults aged 60 and older in the U.S. expected to increase 30 percent by 2050, home health aides are predicted to be one of the fastest growing professions nationwide in the next decade.
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the number of openings for home health and personal care aides will increase nearly 37 percent by 2028.
This means families like the Millers will likely continue to face challenges.
Increasing demand, short supplies
In the U.S., long-term care is going through a process of "rebalancing" overall — shifting from institutional care to more home-based services, said John Bowblis, a professor of economics at Miami University in Ohio.
"In the last 10 years, there's been this push to try to get people long-term care in a home setting, and particularly their own home," he said. "Home health aides play a very important part in allowing people to age at home and stay at home longer."
But if home health aides remain in short supply, this transition could slow, he said, and favor care for those who have private insurance plans that pay higher reimbursement rates — or can afford to pay higher wages out of pocket.
"If you're somebody on Medicaid, you don't have those financial resources that way," Bowblis said. "And the only solution is to basically either force somebody to go into congregate living, like an assisted living or nursing home, or you're going to be on a waiting list."
Employers say they're already struggling to attract serious candidates, and worry about how this could affect services.
"I have prepared a letter to let the clients know that we cannot do any homemaking," said Jodene DeVault, the public health administrator for the Warren County Public Health Department in central Iowa.
She said her agency just hired a new home health aide after trying for weeks to attract candidates in the tight labor market.
DeVault said she worries if this new hire doesn't work out, she'll have to suspend homemaking, which is the health department's most popular service.
"So that could be ... maybe 60 to 70 people who would no longer get service," she said.
Jo Nelson, who runs the Servant's Heart Home Health Services in central Indiana, said nearly all of her clients are on Medicaid. It means the most she can pay is $13 an hour, as that's the current reimbursement rate under the state's Medicaid program.
Nelson said she struggles to retain employees, and she'd like to pay them at least $20 an hour.
"They're taking care of people's loved ones in their homes and giving them baths and helping them to go to the bathroom and helping them get dressed and doing things they can't do on their own," Nelson said.
Pay remains one of the biggest barriers to attracting more home health aides.
Connie Corchan works in central Iowa for an agency run by a hospital, and she says she loves her job.
"These people are so appreciative of what you do for them. It keeps them in their home — bottom line," she said.
But the work is challenging, Corchan said, recounting a recent day where her schedule was particularly difficult.
"I only had four clients, but they were all two hours each. So there's eight hours right there. And that's with no drive time. No break. No lunch. No nothing," she said.
In her two decades of experience, she said she's rarely seen other home health aides stay at her agency very long. That's because they can easily find less labor-intensive jobs that pay better, she said.
Corchan said it took her 20 years to get up to earning $17 an hour.
"You can drive by McDonald's and see on their sign what they're offering," she said. "And if you have been in direct care for several years, and you're not even making that, [it] makes you feel terrible."
The makeup of the home health care workforce plays another part in this struggle, said Rachel Werner, a professor of health care management and economics at the University of Pennsylvania.
Home health care workers are almost 90 percent women. Over half are people of color and more than a quarter were born outside the United States, she said.
"Statistics like this really help describe a workforce that doesn't have a lot of political capital," Werner said. "And so they're a pretty vulnerable workforce."
Jonathan's father, Don, said he doesn't blame the home health agencies for the staffing issues that have made life more difficult for their family. Over the past decade, he said he's learned how undervalued and underpaid home health aides are.
"I think it's one of the most difficult jobs and least respected jobs in the country," he said. "They're responsible for the bodily functions of the patient — trying to understand, communicate, watch over, be responsible for. And they're just the bottom of the economic pole."
'We can't rely on especially altruistic people'
The median annual wage for home health aides is $29,430 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That works out to $14.14 an hour for aides working 40 hours a week.
A 2019 survey by the Iowa Workforce Development found 38% of former direct care workers quit the field for a better paying job.
Experts say raising wages is an important first step, but it's not the only change that's needed.
"We can't rely on especially altruistic people to fill these roles at a great personal cost,"said Stephen McCall, a data and policy analyst with PHI, a group that advocates for direct care workers.
McCall said home health aides need more training opportunities and support to develop specialized skills, and most don't have career opportunities that would allow them to move up into other related health care or social work positions.
"It means that their skills that they're developing over time, providing services to older adults and people with disabilities, often go unrecognized and unrewarded," he said.
Recently some lawmakers have proposed increasing resources to help address this growing shortage.
The Biden administration proposed investing $150 billion towards home health care as part of the Build Back Better Act, but it stalled after West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin withdrew his support.
The Indiana Legislature approved $20 million in 2021 to help those who need home care stay in their homes. Other states, like Minnesota and Iowa, have looked at raising Medicaid reimbursement rates for home health aide pay. A current budget proposal in the Iowa Legislature would raise Medicaid pay from $13 to $16 an hour.
This comes as Iowa is working to increase home- and community-based services for disabled Iowans following a federal investigation last year that concluded the state likely violated the Americans with Disabilities Act for failure to provide enough community-care options.
Werner, the University of Pennsylvania professor, said to address this workforce shortage, leaders are going to need to invest a lot more money into resources like Medicaid.
But she's skeptical that it's going to happen any time soon.
"It's not clear to me that the country is ready to make that commitment to invest in long-term care infrastructure," Werner said. "But I think that's a big part of what it would take."
On top of this, she said there needs to be a cultural shift regarding the way society views and values home health care work — and she suspects that will be even harder to accomplish.

When fashion influencer Yalda Yazarlou had her first proper haircut in almost three years this week, it was to help a great cause, making wigs for children who have lost their own hair.
Yalda, 27, had 20 inches chopped from her locks by Kerry Bateman at The Lounge Hairdressers in Earlsheaton, near Dewsbury, to donate to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment and other conditions.
“My hair has always been incredibly important to me and has been a big part of my identity and I can not bare the thought of a child having to fight against an illness which in turn causes them to lose their hair,” said Yalda.
“Being Middle Eastern and having received great genes from my parents, I've always had long, thick and healthy hair which grows quickly. I thought growing and donating it would be the least I can do to help add a bit of happiness back to the life of a child suffering with hair loss.”
Yalda, who lives in Earlsheaton and has an Instagram handbag boutique called House of Yalda, has so far raised more than £1,600 via her Just Giving page for the charity.
The Little Princess Trust was set up in 2006 in memory of five-year-old Hannah Tarplee who had been diagnosed with a Wilms Tumour and had found the loss of her hair especially traumatic. Her parents struggled to find a wig suitable for her during treatment, and felt the most fitting tribute for their daughter would be to found a charity dedicated to providing wigs for children who had lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other conditions.
The charity has so far provided more than 12,000 wigs and given grants totalling more than £17 million towards research projects into finding more effective treatments for childhood cancers.
Yalda said: “The minimum you can donate is seven inches, however, the children are requesting 16 inches or more so that’s why I decided to let my hair grow. During lockdown they were encouraging people to ‘let it grow’, that was their hashtag, because they were not accepting hair donations.
“I used to have long blonde highlights in 2018 and in June 2019 I decided to cut it all off and start growing it afresh to eventually donate it to the Little Princess Trust,” she said.
Her last proper haircut was in June 2019 when she had a short bob to chop away her highlights so she could start growing for the charity.
“I had a trim last month to clean up the ends and my hairdresser told me that my hair is in great condition, and that is because I have used little to no heat or styling products, I’ve just let it grow and let it be, and used a lot of supplements and hair masks to maintain the health.
“It’s all my natural hair colour,” she said. “It costs £550 to make a wig, style and fit it free-of-charge for a child who suffers from hair loss.”
Yalda has been going to Kerry’s salon since she was five year old. “She is my local hairdresser and I thought it would be nice to get her involved,” she says.
Wendy Tarplee-Morris, founder of The Little Princess Trust, said: "We were all absolutely delighted to hear of Yalda's incredible support for our charity.
"Our longest wigs are still our most popular and so Yalda's beautiful lengthy locks are greatly appreciated and will help us meet demand.
"We are now reaching more children and young people with hair loss than ever before and so her amazing fundraising will also be a huge help to us. We can't thank her enough."

When artist Jill Magid was asked to do a public art work for the non-profit Creative Time in 2020, she had to take a step back.
"It's very hard to make a public art piece when there's no public and there's a pandemic," she said.
But then she read a New Yorker article, where the co-chief investment officer at the bond fund PIMCO, Mohamed El-Erian, said this about the pandemic economy:
"This is much bigger than 2008. 2008 was a massive heart attack that happened suddenly to the financial markets. You could identify the problem and apply emergency remedies and revive the patient quickly. This is not just a financial stop. This is infection all over the body, damage to virtually every limb and organ. The body was already so fragile. Those of us who have had the privilege of studying failed states have seen this before, but never in a big country like the United States, let alone a global economy."
The body was already so fragile. Those were the words that stuck in Magid's head.
Her project, called Tender, took shape. She had 120,000 pennies inscribed with that phrase, and distributed them through New York City's bodegas, locally-owned convenience stories which were considered essential businesses when the city was shut down in the early stages of the pandemic. She also made a short film with a provocative set of images, juxtaposing Brink's trucks filled with pennies with rows of refrigerated trucks filled with bodies. It's saying the economy is sick; our bodies are sick, too.
"I was thinking of the human body, but also the government body, financial bodies and our own fragility," Magid said.
Many of the film's close-ups are of hands as the coins pass from clerk to customer. It is both frightening and intimate, reminding us that pennies circulate through our economy like the virus circulates - through contact.
Justine Ludwig, executive director of Creative Time, said it's those images that most resonate for her. "For myself and for so many, something that was so challenging during the pandemic was the utter lack of intimacy that as humans we need," she said. "And so seeing a pandemic moment and those hands touching one another, exchanging currency over and over, really hit home for me."
This weekend is the second - and final - time audiences can view the film. It's showing at Dime Savings Bank in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neo-Classical building that was once a cathedral of capitalism and is now all peeling paint and hollow, echoing spaces. At set times, eight musicians play the score to the otherwise mostly-silent film, their droning music recalling both the horror of that time and the meditative quality of religion, of reflection. It was important to Magid that there be a place, a time, for people to reflect on all that's happened over the past two years, especially in the place that was originally the virus's epicenter.
"You feel the music, you see the musicians, you feel the subwoofer is like resonating in your body. And all of us together create a whole other kind of moment that that you can't really put into words, nor could you get online or any other way," she said.
Tender Presence is running through May 8 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

- Sunderland will face Sheffield Wednesday in the first leg of their League One play-off semi-final on Friday.
- Over 40,000 fans will attend Friday’s match at the Stadium of Light.
- Black Cats boss Alex Neil held his pre-match press conference earlier today.
- Both sides have injury concerns after Nathan Broadhead and Barry Bannan were forced off last weekend.
More to come...
That brings us to the end of the TV section of the press conference - but Neil has also spoken to the written press including our SAFC writer Phil Smith.
You can find more build-up to Friday’s match over on the SAFC section of the Sunderland Echo website.
See you soon.
Neil on expectations
“I don’t think about it if I’m honest.
“I took the job knowing the expectancy, I think that was one of the key elements that attracted me to come here was the fact that I like working under pressure and with people expecting you to deliver.
“I think it’s a good environment and brings the best out of you if you like that situation which I do. I think the players are used to it now.
“When I walked in the building I remember my first two home games vividly because even a stray pass you could hear your groans, and I was thinking oh ok.
“Since then we have picked up form, the lads have performed better, we’ve scored goals, we’ve won games and I think we’ve naturally got the crowd onside.
“I think the crowd are desperate for the lads to do well and have given them a really good backing, they come in their droves, and I think the lads have responded to that.
“I don’t think now that is going to be any surprise for us.”
Neil on Broadhead
“We’ll make a late call on Nathan.”
“I’m sure Sheffield Wednesday will be cagey and make out like Barry Bannan might not be fit… he’ll be fit.”
Neil on previous games against Sheffield Wednesday this season
“The away game there certainly wasn’t the worst performance of the season.
“I have watched both games, I have probably seen them about eight or nine times this season because we play a similar shape to them so we do a lot of prep work on the games that they have played.
“The 3-0 win at their place for me wasn’t a 3-0 game, we had good moments in the game but didn’t capitalise on them.
“The home game, although it was a really good performance, it wasn’t a 5-0 for me either.
“I was actually at that game live just by chance because I was watching games.
“A lot has changed since then, we are playing with a different shape, different personnel and they certainly strengthened in the January transfer window.
“If you look at the backline they had that day for the 5-0, they ended up with Dunckly going off, Palmer as the middle centre-back and Marvin Johnson who is a left winger playing left centre-back.”
Neil on Ross Stewart’s game time
“I think that Saturday was a rare occasion where I managed to take him off. I just wanted to make sure we didn’t risk him for the final 20 minutes.
“He’s in uncharted territory for him in terms of what he’s done, I think the maximum he played in Scotland was 38 games at a different level to what this looks like.
“I think expectancy is a factor at this club and also different tests.
“All the hard work culminates in these games so if you can’t get yourself up for these games then there is a problem.
“In terms of freshness, determination and willingness to be ready to go I don’t have an issue with Ross or with any other player.”
Neil on big crowds expected
“Listen I’m probably going to offend a few teams here but they are probably the two best supported teams in the league.
“They have both been in the Championship and in the Premier League not that long ago.
“It’s going to be a tough game and it’s going to be a big atmosphere. Hopefully the players can handle that and do themselves justice.”
Neil on the mood at Sunderland
“I’m feeling good and I think the players are feeling good.
“We have managed to secure a play-off place which was our objective 15 games ago.
“The biggest thing for me is that I have been a small part of that and I feel refreshed.
“The players are in a good space. I think there have been a lot of changes since the start of the season, we’ve added a few players in January and players haven’t done the full 56 matches so the boys are in a good space.”
Team news from the Wednesday end
Wednesday are also sweating over the fitness of captain Barry Bannan, who was forced off in their 4-1 win over Portsmouth last weekend.
Bannan appeared to be moving fine when he walked around the Hillsborough pitch to applaud fans after the match, yet he wasn’t spotted when the club posted training photos of the squad on Wednesday.
The Owls could also welcome back defender Harlee Dean who has been sidelined with a calf issue. | https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/everything-alex-neil-said-about-nathan-broadhead-and-barry-bannan-injuries-ahead-of-huge-sunderland-vs-sheffield-wednesday-league-one-play-off-clash-3680958 | 2022-05-05T10:23:12Z | https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/everything-alex-neil-said-about-nathan-broadhead-and-barry-bannan-injuries-ahead-of-huge-sunderland-vs-sheffield-wednesday-league-one-play-off-clash-3680958 | false | 1 |

These Northern California community gardeners share water, grow smart amid drought
With another season of historic drought on the horizon for California, some North State gardeners are finding ways to save water and still grow fresh vegetables.
Community gardens enable people to share water by renting closely-spaced plots for growing, or to buy locally-grown produce after harvest.
It’s a good way to reduce your home water bill, comply with drought regulations and still have an organic garden, said Terri Thesken, who serves on the Etna Community Garden board with her husband, Jay. The couple rent two of the 18, four by 8.5-foot plots available.
This year, Etna’s community gardeners took steps to make the most of water available, she said.
In April, volunteers installed a drip irrigation network. Each renting gardener provides their own timer and drip line, attaching it to one of six water spigots.
“We have splitters on them, so there are enough valves for everyone’s plot,” Thesken said.

That will be a big improvement over last year, when she and her husband had to hand water plants, she said. “We got a little bit of rain and everybody was able to harvest everything.”
Drip lines are also popular at the Yreka Community Gardens, spokesperson Jennifer Silveira said. "We don't allow overhead sprinklers because so much water is lost to the air."
Yreka's gardens also time water for best results, she said. “We encourage people to water in the early morning or evening, when evaporation is less."
Practical advice from the pros
Another tactic for keeping water from evaporating quickly is to raise seedlings in Etna Community Garden’s new $5,000 greenhouse — funded by a Community Foundation of the North State grant from Raley’s grocery store and private donations from gardeners, Thesken said. Renters can raise young plants in the humid air inside the greenhouse before they transfer them to their plots.
As well as using timed sprinklers and drip irrigation methods, staff and volunteers at the organic Dunsmuir Community Garden treat soil to enable it to hold onto its water.
“Squash, zucchini and tomatoes require a lot of water,” said Steve Bryan, director of the Siskiyou Community Resource Collaborative, which oversees Dunsmuir’s quarter-acre garden. “We add phosphate and other amendments to the soil to help it retain the water.”
Dunsmuir's garden teaches drought-sensible gardening techniques to others. In turn, volunteers grow organic produce in beds financed by local businesses for food pantries and use in the center’s cooking and nutrition classes, Bryan said.
During peak season, extra produce is sold at the Dunsmuir Farmers Market, the center’s spokesperson Denise Willey said.
Yreka's community gardeners use mulch to keep water in soil they create themselves through composting, Silveira said. They also offer informal composting workshops.

Even with water conservation methods in place, Etna’s community garden board placed limits on what people can grow, Thesken said: No water-thirsty pumpkins or gourds this year.
Instead, Jay and Terri Thesken said they plan to grow cauliflower, beans, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, lettuce, beets and potatoes.
Not only did her garden survive the drought in 2021, it thrived over winter, Terri Thesken said. When the snow melted in March, last autumn’s carrots and spinach grew back “like crazy.”
“The soil in the garden is out of this world,” she said.

The red hot hosing market sees no sign of cooling according to the country’s biggest housebuilder.
The boss of Barratt Developments said they were putting up new homes as quickly as they could as he thanked its “excellent” operations teams for working to meet demand.
The CEO of the north west Leicestershire-based business – which also includes David Wilson Homes – also said it had brought forward its planned July 1 annual salary review by three months to April 1, in recognition of the rising cost of living.
Chief executive David Thomas said: "We are seeing strong demand across the country for our high quality, energy efficient homes and our excellent operational teams are working hard to meet this demand.
“We expect to deliver full year trading results in line with the Board's expectations as we remain focused on growing towards our medium-term target of 20,000 homes a year, delivering high quality sustainable developments the country needs, creating jobs and supporting the economy across England, Scotland and Wales.”
Barratt Developments – which has its historical roots in the North East – said it was on track to complete between 18,000 and 18,250 homes this year.
It said forward sales stood at £4.4 billion, up from £3.7 billion a year back and £2.8 billion a year before that.
Build cost inflation of around 6 per cent, it said, was being offset by selling prices going up around 7 per cent.
Back in February the business said its average private sales prices were £327,400 compared to the average UK house price which hit a record £276,759.
In a trading update Barratt said: “Macro-economic uncertainties remain, most notably around the war in Ukraine and rising inflation and interest rates in the wider UK economy.
“As a business, we also face higher taxation, the ongoing challenges around build cost inflation and the future withdrawal of Help to Buy, which will begin to taper in autumn 2022, as the scheme draws to a close in March, 2023.
“The board believes, however, that the overall strength of the housing market, our operational performance since the onset of the pandemic and our strong financial position provides us with the platform and flexibility to react to any challenges and opportunities in the remainder of FY22 and beyond.”

Stunning! Remarkable! Explosive! These words are typical of headlines in the media since March 25. That’s the date of the press conference that introduced the world to the text on the lead amulet found recently at Mount Ebal. According to the experts who deciphered the text, it is a curse in ancient Hebrew script dated to the Settlement Period (circa 1200 BCE).
Why is this news so explosive? The most obvious reason is that it’s the oldest text in ancient Hebrew ever found in Israel. And we know that record-breaking finds always capture the imagination. Until, and unless, an earlier object containing ancient Israelite writing is found, that record speaks for itself. (Note: isolated words have been found on pottery shards, but we are referring to text containing full phrases and/or sentences.)
Two additional reasons for the excitement about the amulet came up over and over in the tsunami of articles: first, the object attests to literacy among the ancient Israelites many hundreds of years earlier than conventional academic thinking. At the press conference, Prof. Gershon Galil – one of the experts who deciphered the amulet – said this suggests that some biblical texts may have been written as early as 1200 BCE. Also, finding a curse amulet on the biblical Mountain of the Curse (i.e., Ebal, according to Deuteronomy 27) connects the physical archaeological site of Ebal with the biblical texts about Ebal. This is another record-breaker – it is the first time a site has been discovered that matches a segment of the Torah point-by-point.

Ebal – appears in my February 7 article in The Jerusalem Report and on The Jerusalem Post’s website. The article touches on the entire 40 years, including the discovery during excavations of the so-called “Joshua’s Altar” and the recent discovery of the amulet, which was still in the process of being deciphered when the article was written.
After I participated with Zertal in the excavations, during those next 40 years I developed and ceaselessly researched theories relating to the site. I read and spoke to experts on a variety of issues, among them the nature of oral tradition and written texts in ancient Israel as well as the definition of an Israelite temple. I came to the conclusion that Ebal was a cultic site, an actual temple, that was built at the beginning of the Settlement Period as outlined in the biblical texts. I had scholarly and biblical bases for these theories, and – in a Jerusalem Post op-ed from February 12, 2020 – I actually predicted that writing would be discovered at the site!
It was as if I had been finding, and putting together the pieces of a large, difficult jigsaw puzzle – pieces that came from ancient history, archaeology, geography and biblical textual analysis. And the discovery of Israelite writing at the site was the missing, last piece of the puzzle.... With it, the puzzle has come together, and my theories have been further solidified.
Let’s look at the possibility mentioned above of earlier dating of parts of the Torah. We recounted that Prof. Galil said the dating of this writing suggests that biblical texts may have been composed as early as circa 1200 BCE. My research shows that the sections of the Bible relating to Ebal were indeed composed around that time. There is evidence in the text that the author of that segment of the Bible was present at the time that the site was active. There are details in the text that are both specific and accurate. They must have been written by someone who was there around that time because the site was deliberately covered up circa 1150 BCE, after a brief period of activity, and was undisturbed for 3,300 years until our excavations, starting in 1982. Further, the details could not have been passed down to someone who wrote about them hundreds of years later because – according to my research – the details here are not of the type that oral tradition ever preserved in Israelite history.
My earlier dating of the Ebal segment of Deuteronomy is contrary to the almost universal academic opinion that these biblical texts were written 600 years later, during the time of King Josiah. The theory has been that the “discovery” of the ancient scroll in the temple circa 620 BCE as described in II Kings 22-23 was a religious fraud. In other words, the scroll was not “discovered” at that time, but actually written at that time and put in the mouth of Moses to give it historical sanctity. The ostensible purpose was to justify centralizing the cult in Jerusalem under Josiah. Further, the assumption has been that the phrase “the place that He will choose” – i.e., the home of God – which appears repeatedly in Deuteronomy, reflects the centralization of the cult by Josiah and referred to Jerusalem.
But, dating the text to the time of Ebal, some 250 years before the Jerusalem temple was built, undermines the identification of “the place that He will choose” as Jerusalem. Let’s consider my theory that the original “place that He will choose” referenced in those texts is Ebal. My research shows that Ebal matches all the criteria for an Israelite temple according to scholars who specialize in this issue. Long before the amulet was found, I had reached the conclusion that Ebal must be a temple, i.e., the home of God, and “the place that He will choose.”
The discovery/deciphering of the amulet gives additional credibility to that conclusion. Although the existence of objects containing writing is not a necessary requirement for a temple, it is accepted by the experts that formal writing took place exclusively in temples during early Israelite periods... another strong indication that Ebal was a temple. And as for Ebal being the location originally referred to as “the place that He will choose” – it was the “only game in town” in 1200 BCE.
Defining Ebal as a temple and as the original “place that He will choose,” undermines fundamental tenets of Western scholarship and religion, especially relating to Jerusalem. My theories about Ebal have been – and will undoubtedly continue to be – met with fierce resistance and opposition. Hopefully, the intensity of the opposition will abate somewhat after publication of the final report for the original excavation and the report about the amulet, both of which are in process.
Possibly the most striking sentence in the Ebal portion of Deuteronomy reads: “This day you have become the Nation of the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 27:9). The late Prof. Adam Zertal adopted this verse in the title of his book about Ebal, A Nation Born. How fitting that this article is appearing on Independence Day – Yom Ha’atzmaut – a day that commemorates the rebirth of the Nation of Israel in 1948.

The Argentine national team jersey worn by Diego Maradona against England in the 1986 Mexico football World Cup finals has been auctioned off Wednesday for £ 7,142,500 after nearly ten bids.
Argentina won that quarter-final match 2-1 en route to their second-ever world title. Maradona scored both goals and they both made history. First, it was the opener, known as the Hand of God goal in which he pushed the ball home with the tip of his fingers in a move that took England keeper Peter Shilton and everybody else by surprise, followed by the Goal of the Century, where he dribbled past the entire English defense from behind the center-line.
The auction organized by Sotheby's ended Wednesday, May 4 at noon (Argentine time), with bidding turning very intense in the last minutes.
After two weeks, there was just one single bid of £ 4 million. With 15 minutes to go, a new bid was made for £ 4.2 million and bids came in as follows: 4.5 million, 4.8, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0. When the website closed the auction, a new, higher figure appeared: £ 7,142,500 (US$ 8.9 million).
Former England player Steve Hodge had asked Maradona for the shirt. He gave it to England's National Football Museum which has now decided to sell it. Sotheby's Brahm Wachter had foreseen it would sell for £ 6 million.
Although the name of the winning bidder was undisclosed, it was confirmed that it was somebody from the Middle East.
The Hand of God shirt has deep cultural significance to the football world, the people of Argentina and the people of England and I'm sure the new owner will take enormous pride in owning the most iconic jersey in the world, Hodge explained.
Sotheby's used ten images to certify that the shirt they were auctioning was the one worn by Maradona during the second half of the match.
But Diego's ex-wife Claudia Villafañe and their daughter Dalma Maradona claim to have the original jersey, saying that the one Hodge had was the one stemming from the goalless first half of the match.
”You have no way of proving that it's the one from the second half. He's lying! I'll explain. He (Hodge) doesn't have the shirt from the two goals, but he can't say that because the other one is much more valuable, which is the one he doesn't have. There is one from the first half and one from the second half. Nobody can prove that the change existed, Dalma Maradona underlined.
It is going to be the word of this ex-player against ours. At that match, there were two jerseys, a very rare jersey because there was no blue jersey. The one this gentleman has is the one from the first half, anyway, if he wants to auction it off it's a sin. I don't think this player needs the money unless he wants to auction it to do some good deed. Diego would never have allowed it, added Villafañe.

The Haryana Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Main exam, 2021, supposed to be held from May 6 to 8, is being rescheduled in compliance with the Supreme Court’s orders, the state public service commission said on Wednesday evening. The fresh dates of this exam will be announced in due course, it said.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court stayed the mains examination of Haryana Civil Services (Judicial Branch) – 2021 scheduled to commence from May 6 due to the dates clashing with the Preliminary Exam of Madhya Pradesh Civil Judge, Junior Division (Entry Level) Exam – 2021. A bench comprising Justice Vineet Saran and Justice J K Maheshwari passed the interim order and posted the matter for further hearing on May 9.
“In our view, the petitioners have made out a prima facie case for grant of stay. In the aforesaid circumstances, as an interim measure, it is directed that the examinations of the Haryana Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Examinations scheduled for 6th to 8th May 2022 are stayed and shall be postponed. “On the request of the learned counsel for the respondents, list on May 9, by which date this Court would be informed of a fresh schedule for examinations to be notified by the respondents or else assist this Court enabling it to fix the postponed dates," the bench said.
The top court asked the Punjab and Haryana High Court to either inform the rescheduled dates or assist it in fixing the dates. The apex court’s order came on a plea by Raghav Gumbar and some aspirants who pointed out that the Haryana exam was originally fixed from April 22 to April 24, however, the same was postponed to May 6-8 because of the clash with the dates of the Delhi Judicial Service Exams.

Abarth is harking back to its rallying days with a new special edition version of its 695.
Called the 695 Tributo 131 Rally, it’s limited to just 695 units worldwide and, of those coming to the UK, each will cost from £32,325. It pays homage to the Abarth 131 Rally, which made its debut in 1976 in Group 4.
Equipped with a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 178bhp and 250Nm of torque, the 131 Rally will hit 60mph in 6.5 seconds and carry on to a top speed of 140mph. Plus, it also receives Koni FSD shock absorbers alongside Brembo brake calipers for high levels of stopping performance. These include 305mm and 240mm ventilated discs on the front and rear of the car respectively.
All cars get 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a ‘Record Monza Sovrapposto’ exhaust system with quad outlets. The rear spoiler can also be adjusted into one of 12 different positions, allowing it to bring added downforce when travelling at greater speeds. Inside, there are Sabelt fabric seats with blue contrast stitching.
The 131 Rally’s exterior design pays tribute to its rally predecessors with its bicolour three-layer ‘Blue Rally’ livery, while inside a variety of ‘Easter Eggs’ – where designers hide certain elements – have been incorporated, with highlights including the silhouette of the 131 Rally being engraved on the lower part of the car door. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/motors/2022/05/05/abarth-695-tributo-131-rally-pays-tributes-to-firms-racing-history/ | 2022-05-05T10:45:32Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/motors/2022/05/05/abarth-695-tributo-131-rally-pays-tributes-to-firms-racing-history/ | false | 3 |
After two pulsating nights of Champions League drama, the attention switches over to the Europa League, as four teams battle it out for the final in Seville.
While the fixture between West Ham United and Eintracht Frankfurt finished 1-2 in favour of the German club, RB Leipzig have a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg against Rangers in the other semifinal.
Talking about the fixture between Frankfurt and West Ham, the German outfit will fancy their chances to protect the 2-1 lead on aggregate, and advance to the final, but West Ham will be no pushovers, and are likely to give Frankfurt a run for their money.
Should be an interesting match.

Bryan Harsin and his program were well aware of the noise surrounding the program this offseason. At its peak, it was deafening.
But they believe it strengthened those who remained inside the building.
“From the outside looking in, you’d probably think the house was on fire,” said linebacker Owen Pappoe, a three-year starter who’s returning from an injury-plagued 2021 season. “But honestly, man, we’ve been fine. Just trying to control what we can control. Rumors are rumors. People will go online and say whatever, but all that matters is what we have going on inside.”
Defensive coordinator Derek Mason left for a pay cut to do the same job at Oklahoma State. Harsin fired offensive coordinator Mike Bobo after the season, and his replacement, Austin Davis, resigned after six weeks.
Around 20 players found their way into the transfer portal. Some former players criticized Harsin on social media just after the Tigers signed zero players on National Signing Day in February, with UCF-bound defensive tackle Lee Hunter saying Harsin treated players “like dogs” and NFL-bound defensive back Smoke Monday saying Harsin “don’t understand kids that come from nothing.”
Salacious rumors surfaced, and before spring began, Harsin’s job status was in doubt amid a university investigation.
“I always expected to continue. I never had any indication that I wouldn’t. I know there were a lot of things that played out on social media that were unfounded and really unfair. But that’s social media, right? And once that died down, the mob kind of moved on to their next victims, and that’s kind of how life is nowadays with some of those things,” Harsin said. “Unfortunately, our players had to go through that. The guys who came back and chose to be a part of our team, those dudes are working their ass off. They’re putting in the time and doing what they’re asked to do.”
While some former players criticized Harsin, others like Derick Hall, Eku Leota, Tank Bigsby, John Samuel Shenker, Chandler Wooten and Pappoe publicly came to Harsin’s defense, posting on social media in support of their head coach.
“Some of what took place, I wanted to make clear the players are doing what they can, and they knew it. That’s why they stood up. That’s why the support and the conviction for the things happening in this program were so powerful,” Harsin said. “I couldn’t be more proud of how our players handled it. When leadership is needed, provide it. You’re going to find out in times of adversity who steps up and who is able to do that, and our guys did that. That’s exactly what our guys did. They didn’t shy away from it. They know a lot of the information out there is inaccurate, it’s not true. We have good players, they work hard, care and want to be here. They got a taste of misinformation and how that type of stuff is unfounded. It was good to see our guys in those situations take advantage of the opportunity to stand up and lead.”
The week Harsin’s future was in limbo was difficult. Players’ phones blew up. Questions without answers rolled in. Players were nervous about their own futures, too. But most leaned on a simple principle on the field to survive a tumultuous time off it: control what they can control.
“All the drama with Harsin and whatever, it actually brought us closer together. It made us realize that hey, we may not have a coach, but all of us will still be here so we can bond, get on the same page and lock in,” defensive end Colby Wooden said. “It brought us closer together, and when he did come back, we were closer, and it eased us into being a player-led team. We have players on each side of the ball who hold each other accountable.”
Harsin is still the head coach at Auburn, and his program took to the field this spring amid the fallout. Inside the building, the program has moved past one of the nation’s most tumultuous offseasons.
The 2021 season, Harsin’s first leading the Tigers, was the program’s first losing season since 2012, a 3-9 campaign that proved to be Gene Chizik’s last year in charge. A season later, the Tigers played for a national title, just a year after going winless in SEC play.
Spring practice this year was a welcome respite from the drama that ruled the months preceding it, simplifying a situation that had grown complex. And now, Auburn is undergoing a task that at times can feel more difficult than combating social media rumors: competing in the SEC West.
“I think the cohesiveness, the chemistry of the team has been really good,” Harsin said. “They worked extremely hard in the spring, and right now, I feel like the players and coaching staff are in a really good place as far as the connection you want to have and you want to see.”
Offense
Who’s the quarterback? That question, the most pressing for any offense, won’t have an answer until the season draws closer.
Bo Nix’s exit stage west to Oregon created a void at the most important position on the field, leaving T.J. Finley, who transferred from LSU before the 2021 season, and a fresh pair of transfers — Robby Ashford (Oregon) and Zach Calzada (Texas A&M) to compete for the starting job.
Finley earned the most first-team reps during the spring, and Calzada was limited because of offseason shoulder surgery. He didn’t participate in any contact or live team drills. Ashford thrived late in the spring and captured A-Day MVP honors, but Harsin and new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau are far from naming a starter.
Harsin is aiming for around 10 days before the season opener against Mercer but may adjust if necessary.
“We have a lot of depth, a lot of good players. It’s going to be fun to see how thing unfolds,” Kiesau said. “When you have a bad day, the guy right behind you wants your job. It brings your awareness and your spidey senses out because you’ve gotta be alert and aware of what’s around you. The addition of the quarterbacks we brought in really helped that room and competition helped raise the level of play.”
Finley has the advantage of a year in the system and started three games last season when Nix was injured, but the job will be open heading into camp.
Running back will be the strength of the offense, headlined by Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter. Bigsby racked up 1,933 rushing yards the past two seasons and became a featured back as a sophomore in 2021.
“He wants to be the best. His drive and his work ethic is contagious,” said running backs coach Carnell “Cadillac” Williams, who ran for 3,831 yards and 45 touchdowns with the program from 2001-04. “He rubs off on guys and his energy; he’s great for our people.”
The wide receivers are an unknown quantity exiting spring. Last year’s top receiver, Kobe Hudson, left for UCF and Demetris Robertson is off to the NFL. But Shedrick Jackson and Shenker (at tight end) both returned for an additional year of eligibility allowed by the NCAA because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They’ll be experienced leaders in a group of pass-catchers that needs younger players like Ja’Varrius Johnson and Malcolm Johnson Jr. to play bigger roles to make the passing game more efficient and explosive after ranking 94th nationally last year in pass efficiency.
“We have some guys growing in their second and third year where they can hopefully flourish and be productive for us,” Kiesau said. “We’re going to need those guys.”
Even after losing tackle Brodarious Hamm to the NFL and guard Tashawn Manning to Kentucky, Auburn has plenty of experience on its line. But it will have to be more productive than a year ago. Center Nick Brahms leads the group, which missed a majority of its rotation to a variety of injuries this spring. Tackles Austin Troxell (10 starts in 2021), Kilian Zierer and Brenden Coffey all return along with Brandon Council (back for a seventh year of college football after leaving Akron as a graduate transfer and starting nine games last season) and Alec Jackson at guard, along with Keiondre Jones and Jalil Irvin.
Depth and experience will be a strength for the group up front, but in conference play, Auburn ranked just 99th nationally in yards per carry, at 3.52.
“I think we’re going to run the ball more effectively. We have a plan for that and when you run the ball effectively, it opens up the passing game,” Brahms said. “That’s the plan. The fundamentals are there.”
Key stat to know: Mississippi State and Vanderbilt were the only SEC teams that had fewer offensive plays from scrimmage that went for more than 40 yards. But what the Tigers lacked in explosiveness, they made up for in sure-handedness and good decision-making. Auburn turned the ball over just 12 times last season (only 12 teams had fewer).
Defense
Auburn did lose seven defensive linemen to the portal, but the good news is Colby Wooden, Marcus Harris and Marquis Burks all return and give the front some experienced returning starters and some bright spots in the immediate future. Wooden had 8.5 tackles for loss last season and will be the best returner in the front four.
“The defensive line came a long way this spring,” Pappoe said. “They got better every practice.”
Jayson Jones arrived from Oregon via the portal and should figure into the rotation. His ability to pick up the scheme in spring practice impressed new defensive coordinator Jeff Schmedding. Zykeivous Walker, Tobechi Okoli and Enyce Sledge should all be in the rotation, and Jeffrey M’ba, the nation’s No. 1 junior college prospect, had a strong spring that left coaches and teammates eyeing a breakout season for him.
“Last year, Georgia just lined up and ran the ball down our throats toward the end of the game to kill the clock. We weren’t able to stop them, as well as A&M and other teams. We’re going to be better in the run game. Our fits, our technique, fundamentals and all that,” Wooden said. “It also helps to have Owen back.”
Pappoe, who will lead a rebuilding group of inside linebackers, was a team captain a year ago but missed four games with a leg injury and elected to return for his senior season rather than enter the NFL Draft.
“His athleticism is dynamic, but he really dove into understanding everything around him,” Schmedding said. “He has a really good grasp of our defense and is definitely the leader in that room.”
Wesley Steiner is the favorite to begin the season as a starter opposite Pappoe, but Cam Riley, Joko Willis and Desmond Tisdol could compete for time.
Hall and Leota, both seniors, return on the edge after combining for 22.5 tackles for loss last season. Leota transferred in from Northwestern and made a massive, immediate impact. Dylan Brooks may earn some playing time outside, too.
“They’re impact guys and you saw Derick step up from a leadership standpoint. Eku, like Jayson took some major strides. He was already a good player but had a really, really good spring,” Schmedding said.
Cornerback Roger McCreary and safety Smoke Monday are massive losses in the secondary, but look for Zion Puckett and Donovan Kaufman to lead the way at safety and Jaylin Simpson and Nehemiah Pritchett to be the first in line at cornerback. Keionte Scott, the nation’s No. 1 junior college cornerback, will push for time, and so will Oregon transfer D.J. James. Scott will arrive this summer.
Key stat to know: Auburn is one of just three SEC teams (Alabama, Tennessee) that returns two players who logged double-digit tackles for loss last season. Hall and Leota make up a rare returning duo in the conference.
Special teams
Fifth-year senior kicker Anders Carlson headlines the group, but he’s recovering from a torn ACL suffered in November. That may force Ben Patton or Alex McPherson, the nation’s No. 1 kicker in the class of 2022, to step in until Carlson returns.
Oscar Chapman is back at punter after averaging 44.1 yards per kick and pinning 23 kicks inside the 20 in 2021.
Kaufman and Johnson are the most likely candidates to handle punt return duties. Kaufman may return kicks as well, but the Tigers could turn to Bigsby, Pritchett and Hunter to get work there, too.
Opposing scouting report
Auburn’s offense is straightforward, and one SEC coordinator said while it’ll be “interesting” to see who wins the quarterback job, the strength of the offense is clear.
“The thing that makes that engine go is Tank Bigsby and the other kid, the freshman Hunter. Shit, he’s damn good, too. That’s what you worry about with Auburn. Those two are legit,” he said.
He also pointed to one aspect of Auburn’s offense that can make it hard to prepare for: Auburn runs different plays out of the same formation with different personnel, often at tight end. That allows the Tigers to run more plays because individual players don’t have to retain as much of the playbook.
But the coordinator pointed to average wide receivers and a below-average offensive line that makes it easier to slow down Auburn’s offense.
“You can try to load the box and dare them to beat you,” he said.
Defensively, he pointed to a defensive line that’s far below what he has become accustomed to seeing from the Tigers.
And the offseason rumors, along with Auburn power brokers’ displeasure with Harsin, real or perceived, will cost the Tigers on the recruiting trail, he said.
“I don’t know if there’s anybody in the country that doesn’t think Bryan Harsin is a dead man walking unless he somehow wins 10 games. It’s gotta be tough,” he said. “I felt bad for him. I just think it’s ridiculous. I know what we sign up for, but to drag people’s families and marriages into it is ridiculous.
“I don’t think he’s really been given a chance. There’s a witch hunt out for the man. Even last year, they’re 6-7 but the ceiling on that team was probably only like eight or nine games anyway.”
He also said the staff moves this offseason, especially Mason’s exit, will be used against Auburn in recruiting: “You don’t leave Auburn for Oklahoma State if there’s not something that isn’t right. Nobody wants to give up $400,000 and as a defensive coordinator to go from the SEC to the Big 12.”
How the Tigers recruited from 2019-2022
Auburn’s recruiting has taken a noticeable dip under Harsin. Last season, the Tigers ranked 14th overall in 247Sports’ talent composite and went 6-7. After a mass exodus through the portal and an incoming transfer class that ranks just 25th, Auburn’s overall talent relative to its schedule and peers in its conference is trending in the wrong direction.
Reversing that trend will be key if the program is going to rebound under Harsin. It fell out of the top 10 in 247 Talent Composite in 2018, and the only way to reverse that trend is to win in recruiting. And with annual games against recruiting juggernauts Georgia and Alabama, hoping to consistently outperform recruiting results is a tremendous ask.
Harsin is well aware of the conversation and chatter regarding the program and its future, but his focus is getting players and their families on campus as quickly and often as possible so he can dispel what he believes are inaccurate portrayals of his program.
“You can read anything you want. People can say whatever they want. And that’s exactly what happened,” he said. “Because most everything’s unfounded. It’s just speculation, rumors, whatever people choose to say. And it’s completely different. A lot of people see that when they get on campus, they’re like, ‘Well, this is awesome. We love this.’ That’s not what people have said, and I’ve heard that from players and families alike. We can go win every single game and there’s still going to be something that, especially here in this league, people are gonna say that you suck at or they’re going to find ways to try to be negative.”
In the transfer portal
Auburn is wrestling with a net negative in the portal, and the mass departure was part of the reason why Harsin faced such scrutiny in the offseason. Nix was the biggest and most surprising exit, but the defensive line group was hit the hardest, with seven total departures, down from eight after Marquis Robinson removed his name from the portal late last month. Hudson and Hunter, a top 100 recruit in the Class of 2021, both ended up at UCF. Versatile, 300-pound fan favorite J.J. Pegues and safety Ladarius Tennison both ended up at Ole Miss as part of Lane Kiffin’s top-ranked transfer class.
“Depth becomes, in some areas, an issue. But it’s a trade-off. Some guys leave and other guys come in. The portal has created more of that. There’s always been transferring. There’s just more of it,” Harsin said. “I just want the guys we bring in to be successful. If guys leave our program, I want them to go on to succeed. College football is an experience. You don’t get to do this very long.”
It wasn’t all bad news. Calzada joined the Tigers and is competing for the starting job. While the Tigers lost Nix to Oregon, they brought in a duo from the Ducks: Jayson Jones and James. Linebacker Eugene Asante also arrived on The Plains after making 23 tackles last season for North Carolina.
Don’t be surprised if the Tigers add a few players in the portal before preseason camp, but they take a best-available approach more than targeting specific positions.
“If you’re so focused on one position and a guy comes open at another position and you kind of dismiss him because he’s not at the position you’re looking for, you could miss on a really good player,” Kiesau said. “You have to keep your full lens, so to speak and look at everything and take the best players available. It’s almost like free agency in the NFL. You might get a really good player, pick him up and go from there. There’s no specific need, we just keep a broad lens for really good players.”
Impact of coaching changes
The Tigers dealt with a game of musical chairs at both coordinator spots this offseason, adding to some of the offseason pressure that nearly cost Harsin his job. Mason left to make $400,000 less at Oklahoma State. Harsin fired Bobo after the season and then Davis resigned just before spring practice, six weeks after accepting the job. Harsin later promoted Kiesau, who followed him to Auburn from Boise State and had been coaching the wide receivers.
Don’t expect major changes in the scheme on either side of the ball. Schmedding replaced Mason and will keep his scheme, which operates out of a 3-4 base alignment with a mixture of man and zone coverages, but can also operate from multiple fronts.
Kiesau will continue Harsin’s vision of a run-first attack that Harsin has utilized for much of his career and the entirety of his run at Boise State. It’s a scheme that Brahms and the rest of the offensive line find motivating.
Special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach Bert Watts left for the Denver Broncos, and the Tigers promoted Roc Bellantoni to replace him for both roles. The veteran coach had been on staff as an analyst before moving into the on-field role. Harsin hired Ike Hilliard, who coached the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receivers the past two seasons, to fill Kiesau’s void with the wide receivers.
“Everybody loves him, and he’s been a huge addition to this team and everything we’re doing,” Harsin said of Hilliard.
Former Auburn star Jimmy Brumbaugh is back at his alma mater to coach the defensive line, replacing Nick Eason, who left for Clemson. Christian Robinson arrived from Florida to coach the linebackers and be the defensive run game coordinator.
Schedule
Final assessment
The long-term impact of the offseason upheaval is still to be determined, but winning fixes anything. The Tigers do have a favorable schedule that begins with five home dates, all winnable games. If the offensive line and running game can improve, that makes life a lot easier on whoever wins the quarterback battle. In the new era of the SEC, explosiveness is a prerequisite to climbing the standings. If the Tigers can do that behind the strength of Bigsby and Hunter, improving on last year’s record is definitely possible. But there’s no hiding from the fact that Harsin lacks the full support from everyone with influence in the program. Operating a program under those circumstances is difficult, and the only way to change it is to beat rivals and win games the team is supposed to win. The problem for Auburn is two of its biggest annual rivals are also the two best programs in college football right now.
The goal has to be improvement and climbing up the SEC West standings, but time will tell how much improvement will be enough to satisfy those who control Harsin and the program’s future.

All that Peter Shalulile needs now is to score four goals in the last three DStv Premiership matches to have his name engraved in the record books of the Premier Soccer League.
ALSO READ: Is ‘intelligent’ Maboe the most criticised Sundowns player?
Shalulile is chasing Collins Mbesuma’s record of 25 league goals in a single season. The red-hot Mamelodi Sundowns striker got his 22nd goal in a 2-0 win against Sekhukhune United at Ellis Park on Tuesday night.
While all eyes are on Shalulile, his coach, Manqoba Mngqithi insists that the Namibian striker is not putting himself under any pressure to beat Mbesuma’s record, which has stood for 17 years. Downs have already secured the title, and Shalulile is unchallenged in the race for the Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot. His closest rival, Royal AM’s Victor Letsoalo, is sitting on 14 goals.
“He is not the kind of player where you need to make extra effort to get him in a good space. He is one very focused professional and I don’t think it is something that rings much in his head when it comes to surpassing Mbesuma’s record. Peter just wants to play football and he is very committed to his work,” said Mngqithi.
“When he is this close, you wish as a coach that he can achieve this ultimate target because he has done so well thus far. When was the last time we had a player who scores more than 20 goals in the league? For him to go as far as even just matching that record would be good because he has really served us well as Sundowns and we are proud of him,” he added.
The Masandawana mentor went on to laud his side for not dropping the ball even after securing a fifth title on the spin, and he insists that the Brazilians will maintain the same aggression until the final whistle of the season.
“If we don’t do very well in the last three games we will have to account for it next season so it is very important that we still continue to try and achieve the number of points that we have set out to achieve in this cycle.
“We also have the responsibility to use these matches as preparation for the Nedbank Cup final, maybe to see people who are raising their hands to be a part of the final,” said Mngqithi. | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/local-soccer/3090768/sundowns-back-shalulile-quest-record-breaking-season/ | 2022-05-05T10:53:50Z | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/local-soccer/3090768/sundowns-back-shalulile-quest-record-breaking-season/ | false | 1 |
Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot put his team’s rebuild into stark perspective this weekend.
“It’s one bite at a time that you eat that elephant,” Fontenot said.
That’s a reference to a quote from South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu on the best approach to daunting tasks, which is what the Falcons face as they try to reshape the roster into a contending team. The Falcons took another bite on Monday, signing veteran defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to a contract extension.
On the heels of a draft that was generally well-reviewed, it was another step forward for an organization that doesn’t have a long track record of positive momentum.
From a public relations perspective, it was the rare easy call for the team. Falcons fans couldn’t even fully get behind now-traded quarterback Matt Ryan, who was one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history and could end up in the Hall of Fame, but Jarrett seems to unite the masses.
He is an unblemished success story for the team, a Georgia native drafted in the fifth round who blossomed into a league standout. He is active in community philanthropy and hasn’t made any missteps in a seven-year professional career, which is no easy feat for anyone in the public arena.
From a financial perspective, Jarrett’s new deal provides salary-cap flexibility. Before it, he was under contract through this season and would have had a cap hit of more than $23 million. Under the new deal, he is under contract through the end of 2025 with a cap hit of $12.9 million this year, $20.6 million in 2023 and $20.4 million in 2024 and 2025, according to Over The Cap.
The salary-cap relief this season will allow the Falcons to sign their recently drafted rookie class and have around $5 million of additional space this year should they need to make another move. The increased cap hit in the following years will be mitigated by all dead money that comes off the books after the 2022 season.
The most important financial part of the deal may be this — if Jarrett is cut after the 2023 season, it will result in a dead cap hit of $8.2 million, and if he is cut following the 2024 season, it would only cost Atlanta $4.1 million in dead money space. Both of those numbers could be easily absorbed, meaning the Falcons are truly committed to Jarrett for only the next two seasons.
From a football perspective, the impact of Jarrett’s re-signing is harder to quantify. His production in the first year in defensive coordinator Dean Pees’ system was statistically among the worst in his career. His pass rush pressure rate dipped to 6.5 percent, and he had only one sack (to go along with 59 tackles). It’s important to remember, though, that Pees asked Jarrett and the team’s other defensive linemen to do something different than they were asked to do in Dan Quinn’s defense. In oversimplified terms: Quinn wanted penetration from his defensive front, and Pees wants his linemen to build an unmoving wall.
Jarrett, who averaged 4.3 sacks per season in his first six years with the team, also was hamstrung by a lack of help up front.

“It’s kind of inherent to his position,” Pees said. “If you play in there and you are good, they are going to double-team you. The thing you have to be able to do is put somebody next to them that they also have to worry about.”
The Falcons didn’t draft anybody who fits that bill. In fact, they didn’t draft any down linemen on defense. That means 2021 fifth-round pick Ta’Quon Graham and 2020 second-round pick Marlon Davidson will have to take major steps forward if Jarrett is going to get help along the front.
Pees thinks the addition of outside linebackers Lorenzo Carter (free agency), Arnold Ebiketie (second-round draft pick) and DeAngelo Malone (third-round draft pick) will help.
“We need to develop pass rushers, and that’ll help Jarrett, so that all the stress isn’t put on him,” Pees said.
Jarrett’s football impact goes beyond his stat line. Pees, Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith all have heaped praise on Jarrett and the impact he has on his teammates. For a team in the midst of a rebuild — especially a team led by a general manager and head coach who use the words “ethos” and “culture” and “makeup” repeatedly — Jarrett’s professionalism takes on added importance.
“We love Grady,” Fontenot said over the weekend before Jarrett’s new deal was announced.
The Falcons love Jarrett so much that they want him to stick around for the start of their elephant-sized turnaround.

We have now entered that period in the college football calendar known as Talkin’ Season, so coined by Steve Spurrier, one of those phrases credited to Spurrier only because he was the one who said it. If it had been, say, Joe Moorhead, Bobby Johnson or Jim McElwain, it probably would be credited to, well, Steve Spurrier. It’s often now what is said to make something memorable, but who said it and how it was said.
Anyway, philosophical observations aside, it is indeed Talkin’ Season. So let’s delve into a perfect such Talkin’ Season topic:
(Note: Submitted questions have been edited for clarity.)
Hey Seth! I’m curious what you make of Mel Kiper’s comments during the draft echoing Alabama’s claims that Georgia won simply because of their injuries?
Paul W.
This meme, argument, whatever you want to call it, has been bouncing around the ether since the national title game, and seems to have been rocketed up a notch with Kiper’s draft-night comment that if Jameson Williams had stayed healthy, Alabama would have won. Not to mention John Mechie, who went out during the SEC championship. My first instinct is to tell Georgia fans: Who cares? You finally won the natty, and everything else is just noise. But if you really want to get into it, let’s get into it. Five points in the okay-hold-on category:
1. Would Georgia have won that game if one or both of those receivers hadn’t been hurt? We’re lacking in certainty in either direction. Yes, Alabama’s offense would have been much more potent, but Georgia’s pass rush was a huge issue in the SEC championship, and was better in the natty, so there’s no guarantee the ball would have found those two receivers nearly as many times in Indianapolis as it did in Atlanta.
2. Georgia had injuries and absent players, too: Adam Anderson, who would have made the pass rush look much better in the SEC championship, was gone for the latter part of the season. George Pickens was back for December and January but not the guy he would have been without the ACL tear. Neither team was at its potential best for the natty; as they say, injuries are part of the game.
3. Alabama’s offense suffering without those two 1,000-yard receivers, and Georgia being effective while spreading it around, may have rewarded the Georgia approach more. The Bulldogs dealt with injuries and the lingering impact at receiver and tight end all season, and kept chugging along. Brock Bowers going down in the natty may have been a devastating blow … or the ball could have gone more to Darnell Washington, Kearis Jackson, Jermaine Burton, AD Mitchell, Ladd McConkey, James Cook … and so on.
4. Let’s say the first three have no validity and yes, Alabama would have won if one or both Crimson Tide receivers had been healthy. Okay, but does it taint Georgia’s win? Is Alabama’s win over Texas in the 2010 national championship tainted by the Colt McCoy injury? A bad call that changes the outcome can taint a game. Cheating, a la the Houston Astros, can taint a championship. But injuries? There’s a reason “injuries are part of the game” is a cliché’.
5. Maybe there was some karma going on for a Georgia team that, when it lost the natty four years ago to Alabama, lost leading receiver Javon Wims during the game, and also had Sony Michel get banged up. And what about D’Andre Walker getting injured during the 2018 SEC championship? Plus all the other stuff that has befallen Georgia over the years in important spots. Sometimes the universe does even things out.
Any updates on the wide receiver transfer market?
Duncan S.
For those unaware, the deadline has now passed – May 1 – for football players to enter the transfer portal and be eligible to play this fall. So whoever is in there is who is available — failing an NCAA waiver, which the NCAA seems to be passing out like candy these days, so you never can know for sure. (This includes players who are seeking to transfer a second time without sitting, even though it’s supposed to be a one-time exemption.)
The top available receivers, according to my esteemed colleague Max Olson’s continuously updated rankings, are Jordan Addison (former at Pitt), Jaylon Robinson (formerly at UCF), Deion Smith (LSU). They’re all in the overall top 10, and Robinson and Smith fit the bill of what Georgia is looking to get: A speedy receiver who can take the top off the defense. Addison does, too, though he appears to be headed out west.
What do you make of Nakobe Dean’s fall in the NFL Draft? I hadn’t heard about his ailments until the day he was drafted and I don’t remember people talking about him being injury-prone? He’s saying he’s healthy, the Eagles docs say he’s good, where he was drafted says otherwise, what happened there?
Kenneth C.
I was as surprised as most everybody else. It’s not like these were well-known concerns that were causing his stock to fall in the lead-up to the draft: Dean was invited by the NFL to Las Vegas, and the main concern was just that he might slip out of the first round because of concerns about his height.
The injury stuff was new: Dean never missed a game at Georgia, and though he had labrum surgery after the 2020 season, causing him to miss most of spring practice, that was not an unusual thing at Georgia. Isaiah Wynn played through a torn labrum during the 2017 season, had surgery afterward, and was a first-round pick a few months later.
If there was something new that cropped up after the season with Dean, that’s one thing. But this idea that he had a history of injuries, that’s not the case. The Atlanta Falcons were among those with concerns, but the Eagles were among those who didn’t. Dean’s status was very polarizing: There were general managers and personnel people during the draft who were telling reporters that Dean’s fall was “ridiculous,” but others who were passing on him for that reason. It reminded me of when Jarvis Jones transferred from Southern California, where doctors had concerns about his neck injury and were shocked that Georgia cleared him, but Jones proceeded to play the next two years without issue.
This is just something we’ll have to see over the next few years. If Dean is able to play and play well, a lot of NFL teams will feel regrets, perhaps including the Falcons. There were six inside linebackers taken before Dean, including guys from Montana State and Wyoming. The thing is, memories are fleeting so even if Dean turns into an All-Pro and Troy Andersen is a flop, that probably still won’t be a front-and-center issue. This isn’t quarterback, after all, and again, memories are fleeting.
We read about all the UGA players who were drafted but there were many others who transferred who also were drafted. How many? That would show the strength of the recruiting even if some left.
Creg S.
Two former Georgia players were also drafted: Jermaine Johnson (Florida State) in the first round, Cade Mays (Tennessee) in the sixth round. You’re more likely to see transfers get picked next year, with those eligible being Tyrique Stevenson (now at Miami), Jermaine Burton (Alabama), Brenton Cox (Florida), Luke Ford (Illinois), Otis Reese (Ole Miss), Divaad Wilson (UCF), Jalen Kimber (Florida) and Major Burns (LSU).
Georgia’s 2018 class is the poster child for the impact of recruiting and transfers: Out of 25 players who signed, 14 have now been drafted, including two who left: Mays and Justin Fields. And the number could still increase with Ford, Reese, Wilson, Kearis Jackson, Warren Ericson and Chris Smith.
Now that the Dawgs won the Natty and had 15 players drafted this past weekend. What have the Dawgs done to make sure they don’t follow LSU’s path when they won their 2019 Natty and had 14 players drafted? LSU has been terrible(11-12) since!!
Tom H.
Perhaps others can correct me on what people were actually saying at the time, but in hindsight, it was easy to see LSU’s championship as a one-off. Joe Burrow was off to the NFL, as was the assistant coach who was seen as the key to the offensive breakthrough. (But judging on Joe Brady’s lack of success in the NFL, perhaps it really was Burrow and the talent around him.)
But more importantly, then-head coach Ed Orgeron had failed once before as an SEC head coach — 10-25 at Ole Miss — and was seen as recruiter and CEO-type who might be in trouble without good coordinators. And, in fact, he was. You don’t have that dynamic at Georgia: This was Georgia’s second run to the national championship game under Smart, and under a different set of coordinators.
Georgia has its quarterback and offensive coordinator back, unlike LSU in 2020, and playing in the SEC East is much more hospitable than the SEC West. And there isn’t going to be some massive talent drop-off: Dane Brugler has four Georgia players in the first round of his admittedly way-too-early 2023 mock draft. I won’t sit here and guarantee Georgia is going to keep winning championships, only that it should be an almost yearly contender for the foreseeable future, and an LSU-like drop-off would be shocking.
Here’s my off-season bar debate question(s). Let’s say you can gather each of Kirby Smart’s teams from his six years at Georgia and pit them against each other in a round-robin tournament. Is it a sure thing that the 2021 Dawgs win the tournament? If not, who is most likely to unseat them? And if you had to hazard a guess at everyone’s record in this tournament, what do the final standings look like?
Brian S.
Oh, this is a fun question, though in my mind there is little doubt. Last year’s team would be the winner, because not only did it have 15 (at least) NFL draft picks, but it was well-rounded: I would argue that while the defense was generationally great, the offense was probably the best of the Smart era.
The stats back that up: Georgia was first in the SEC in yards per play last year (6.98), the second-best rate of the Smart era, just behind the 2018 offense. But that 2018 offense benefitted from some padding-the-stats blowouts of weaker teams: 160 points in three games against UMass, Austin Peay and Middle Tennessee. The 2021 offense only had two such games (Charleston Southern and UAB, the latter of which was a solid team). And bottom line, didn’t you leave last season feeling much better about the Georgia offense than you did after the 2018 season?
OK, that was a bit of a digression.
Point being, the 2021 team was clearly the best of the Smart era and would win this hypothetical tournament. But would it be guaranteed, on any given Saturday (or Monday)? The teams would obviously be close enough that upsets could happen, and would only be considered mild. For the sake of this question, let’s give the hypothetical victory to who is determined to be the better team. Here’s what I get:
- 2021: 5-0
- 2017: 4-1
- 2018: 3-2
- 2019: 2-3
- 2020: 1-4
- 2016: 0-5
The closest call was between the 2018 and 2019 teams. On paper, the latter had the better record but was blown out in the SEC championship, while the 2018 team came oh-so-close to beating Alabama and making the College Football Playoff. But there’s a tendency to downplay the 2019 team because the offense took a step back, but that offense wasn’t that bad, ranking sixth in the SEC in yards per play (down from third the year before) while the defense was dominant until it ran into Joe Burrow, who made every defense look like Cumberland.
In fact, the 2019 defense would be built well enough — it was second nationally in run defense, with Jordan Davis in his first year — to potentially negate the strength of the 2017 team. Nick Chubb and Sony Michel vs. Davis and company? Yes, please. Hey, don’t discount the 2020 team, with that run defense, against the 2017-19 teams.
Still, ultimately the 2018 team was more well-rounded: Though the defense took a step back, the offense was better, with not only Jake Fromm putting up his best college numbers, but D’Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield each rushing for 1,000 yards. That 2018 team didn’t finish as well, with the Sugar Bowl loss to Texas leaving a bad taste, but it had more blowouts during the season than the 2019 team, which had four wins by one possession, plus the inexplicable home loss to South Carolina.
You feel sorry beating up on the 2016 team too much, because the core of that team was around for the team that we’re calling the second-best of this era. Much like you can’t beat up on the 2020 team too much. But in each case that core got a year older and better: Stetson Bennett, for instance, was much better in 2021 than in 2020. (Pass efficiency rating of 177 vs. 129 the year before.) And then those teams had a few well-placed additions: Jake Fromm, Andrew Thomas and D’Andre Swift in 2017, Brock Bowers, Derion Kendrick, and a few players coming off redshirts in 2021.
So where will the 2022 team fall on this list? We’ll see, obviously, but my early read is it has a ceiling of the 2017 team, and a floor of 2018-19 territory. But it’s built much differently, with what could be the best offense of the Smart era and a defense that could resemble the 2019-20 era. That and the state of the SEC East, along with Alabama looming again in the West, makes this look a lot, when it comes to the final results, more like 2018 and 2019: Win the division, lose in the SEC championship.
But hey, maybe Georgia’s luck is just getting started.

Mountain West college football rankings and predictions with the realistic best and worst case records and quick analysis – the 2022 spring version.
The Mountain West isn’t exactly wide open, but with Boise State, Air Force, and San Diego State coming back strong, and with several new head coaches about to make a splash, this should be as wild an unpredictable a conference as any in college football.
The rankings are based on how good the teams should be and not the final projected records. Keeping in mind that this all could/might/will change when we make the final calls in August …
– 2022 College Football Schedules By Teams: All 131 Schools

Boise State Broncos
2020: 5-2 2019: 12-2 2018: 10-3
Coming off a disappointing season, the Broncos should be far better thanks to a loaded defense that got a whole lot of help for the front line. The offense loses star WR Khalil Shakir and a few linemen, but QB Hank Bachmeier, RB George Holani, and the other skill parts will be fine.
The schedule isn’t awful with San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State, and BYU all having to come to the blue turf. There will be a few misfires, but beat Oregon State on the road to start the season, and a ten-win run is a reasonable goal.

San Diego State Aztecs
2020: 4-4 2019: 10-3 2018: 7-6
The Aztecs open up their new Snapdragon Stadium with Arizona, and they get three of their first four games at home. The problem will be the road dates – at Utah, at Boise State, at Nevada, at Fresno State – that come before November.
However, Brady Hoke has a good team coming back even after losing a slew of Mountain West stars from all three phases. The transfer portal should help with Virginia Tech and Oregon QB Braxton Burmeister settling the position to go along with another great ground game. It’s San Diego State – the D will be great even after losing six starters. There’s no replacing P Matt Araiza, though.

Air Force Falcons
2020: 3-3 2019: 11-2 2018: 5-7
The Falcons have the talent and experience to keep the ground attack rolling. QB Haaziq Daniels and FB Brad Roberts combined for over 2,000 yards, and they’re not alone. The defense needs some new starter up front, but the safeties – Trey Taylor and Corvan Taylor – can hit.
It might not be easy to hit the ten-win mark of last year, but they might come awfully close. Boise State and Nevada are home games, and outside of the road trip to San Diego State and possibly the date against Colorado, they might not be underdogs against anyone else.

Fresno State Bulldogs
2020: 3-3 2019: 4-8 2018: 12-2
New/old head coach Jeff Tedford might need to crank up the depth and the options on the offensive line, and the defensive front is all but starting over, but QB Jake Haener is a wonderful passer for the new staff to work around. Tedford knows a little something about quarterbacks.
There are a slew of landmines with Oregon State, at USC, and at Boise State before the midseason. As long as the lines come together fast, there are more than enough winnable games to push for another ten-win season. The Bulldogs might not get there, but Tedford has worked wonders before.

Blake Anderson had a great first year with a Mountain West championship and an 11-win season, but repeating will be a problem without most of the star receivers around. QB Logan Bonner is back, though, along with just enough on the line to be okay. Transfers will help the defense reload, but it’ll take a while. The Aggies have exactly one game to do that with Alabama up on September 3rd.
It’s a long season with an August 27th Week 0 start, but there’s no San Diego State to deal with and Air Force is a home game. Bama, at BYU, at Boise State – those three alone should equal last season’s loss total.

Nevada Wolf Pack
2020: 7-2 2019: 7-6 2018: 8-5
Nevada was gutted with the loss of head coach Jay Norvell to Colorado State and with several starters taking off or done. Gone is the great pitch-catch combination of Carson Strong to Romeo Doubs, but in comes Oklahoma State QB Shane Illingworth as an offensive playmaker to build around. The secondary should be fine, and the defensive line around Dom Peterson will be solid.
New head coach Ken Wilson should start things off with a bang – at New Mexico State, Texas State and Incarnate Word. However, three road trips – including a date at Hawaii – before dealing with San Diego State will be a rude run over the first half of the season. Getting the Aztecs at home along with Boise State and Fresno State is a nice break.

Colorado State Rams

New head coach Jay Norvell built a whole new offense around transfers. There’s a shot seven starters on O could be new faces – with former Nevada commit Clay Millen likely at quarterback and with a totally rebuild line. There’s no replacing TE Trey McBride on one side and DE Scott Patchan on the other, but overall the team should be stronger.
The schedule isn’t going to help get everyone settled with road games at Michigan and Washington State early. Going to Boise State and Air Force will be tough, and there might be a rude welcome in Nevada for Norvell – the former Wolf Pack head coach – and his new squad.

The offense lost QB Levi Williams to Utah State, RB Xazavian Valladay to Arizona State, and WR Isaiah Neyor to Texas. However, the Cowboys are using the transfer portal, too – Utah State’s Andrew Peasley should take over at quarterback – for both sides of the ball. The D should be in better shape early on than the O.
The year starts at Illinois, and there’s a date at BYU, but in conference play the Cowboys get Air Force, Utah State, and Boise State in Laramie. The conference road games aren’t that bad – there’s a week off after going to Hawaii – but closing out at Fresno State is tough.

Hello, transfer portal. San Jose State lost several key parts to the offense, but QB Chevan Cordeiro comes in from Hawaii and getting Nevada WR Elijah Cooks will help. The D is relatively set with a good front seven and decent depth.
There are more than enough winnable games to get bowling. Returning to Mountain West championship form from 2020 is a bit much, but it should be a winning season as long as the Spartans can win the 50/50 home games.

New head coach Timmy Chang takes over a reeling program coming off a rough offseason, a tough home field situation, and with its star quarterback (Chevan Cordeiro), running back (Dave Hunter) and top defensive players all transferring out. But it’s Timmy Chang coaching Hawai’i – the offense is going to throw and keep throwing.
The 13-game season brings eight games to the Clarence TC Ching Athletic Complex, but road games at Michigan, San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State will all be gut checks. There aren’t any almost-certain wins other than Duquesne and at New Mexico State, but strange things happen to teams once they hit Honolulu.

Marcus Arroyo’s team started to come on for a stretch late last year – at least it started to play better – and now he welcomes in Tennessee QB Harrison Bailey to go along with a good group of receivers already in the mix. Defensive depth will be an issue for a while, but there’s at least a tune-up against Idaho State to start.
UNLV will have to biff hard to not better its two-win total of last year before middle of the season. However, there’s no break whatsoever in the second half – at least until it deals with Nevada in the battle for the Fremont Cannon.

Danny Gonzales’s team totally collapses over the last month of last year’s rough campaign, but there’s experience returning. The skill parts are full of veterans, the line should be fine, and the defense should improve if the secondary can find two steady corners.
With home games against Maine and UTEP and a road date at New Mexico State, there’s a shot to match last year’s three wins before late October. It’s going to take an upset to pull off a Mountain West win, but there should be a little success. The problem once again is the finishing kick – November will be rough.

We're NOT ditching the Three Lions: FA chiefs deny claims they want to axe anthem as England's official World Cup song over fears it 'offends' other nations
- Baddiel and Skinner's Euro '96 footballing anthem has long been a fan favourite
- There was outrage amid reports it was being dropped as official World Cup song
- But the FA has clarified today that it has no such plans to scrap the iconic track
- Writer David Baddiel said that the song's sentiment is the opposite of arrogance
The FA today rubbished reports that is set to drop the iconic 'Three Lions' anthem as the England football team's official World Cup song amid fears it could be seen as arrogant by other countries.
It was reported last night that association chiefs were reviewing other options which would see choruses of Baddiel and Skinner's 'Football's Coming Home' reminiscent of Euro '96 abandoned for a 'less offensive' alternative.
Neil Diamond's beloved 'Sweet Caroline' had been tipped to replace the classic anthem, as critics hit out at what they described as a 'woke' proposal - which has now been dismissed by the FA.
A spokesman told MailOnline: 'Contrary to reports this morning, The FA still plays Three Lions at major Wembley matches and has never had any intention of doing otherwise.
'The song belongs to the fans and is about the hope of following the England team.
'It was requested by The FA to be played as one of our team songs at the 2018 World Cup and at the EUROs last summer, and this is our plan at tournaments going forwards.'
Former England international Peter Reid had earlier slammed the idea it could be dropped on Nick Ferrari's LBC show.

Former England international Peter Reid (pictured in action in 1986) had earlier slammed the idea it could be dropped on Nick Ferrari's LBC show
He said: 'I thought it was a joke to be perfectly honest. I remember the year [of 1996]. it was great expectations, the crowd got behind it and I can't see that upsetting anybody. to tell you the truth.
'I think we're a proud nation, we get behind our team - maybe a little bit too much in the final at the Euros this summer - but England fans are great, they sing and get behind the team.
'I don't see that offending anybody or making us seem arrogant. I had a look at the lyrics and they're brilliant. Nothing in there, I don't think, makes us arrogant or offends anybody.
'I know some of the lads who played in that era and it just galvanised them. It's a great football song, everybody knows it. It gets behind the team, everybody enjoys it...there's nothing wrong with that.'
Fellow legend Paul Gascoigne, who was instrumental in the Three Lions' march to the semi-finals at Euro '96, told the Sun: 'You can't take that song off us, it would be like saying we can't wave St George's flags anymore.
'This woke nonsense has no place in football. It's just a great song.'
TalkTV presenter Piers Morgan echoed Gazza's sentiment last night and questioned how the song could be seen as offensive given its self-depricating nature.
'This song is all about wallowing in 30 years of pain and hurt and not winning anything - how can anyone say it's arrogant?
Media personality Russell Grant also joined waves of fans responding on social media, as he tweeted: 'Mulling over today's news that someone at the FA wants to ban 'Three Lions' being sung in case 'it offends other nations' is, apart from being nonsensical, it now guarantees that Broudie, Baddiel and Skinner's unofficial anthem will be sung more often and louder than ever.'
It comes after UEFA stopped comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel from singing their hit song before the Euro 2020 final last summer because it was seen as too 'partisan'.
Officials share concerns that the song's repetitive chant 'It's Coming Home' suggests that England owns football and comes off as arrogant or snobbish to other countries.
Three Lions was originally written as the England's anthem for UEFA Euro 1996, and Skinner and Baddiel co-wrote and performed the song alongside The Lightning Seeds.
The anthem enjoyed a roaring comeback during the 2018 World Cup, in which England got to the semi-finals, and became the first song in UK history to have four spells at No 1 during the tournament.
The song remains a key part of fans' celebrations and efforts to support England players but now faces being dropped.
While appearing on the TV show The Last Leg ahead of the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy last summer, Skinner shared his frustrations with UEFA's decision.
He reminded viewers that Andrea Bocelli sang Nessun Dormua at the opening ceremony - which saw Italy kick-off the tournament against Turkey.
Baddiel meanwhile told Sportsmail about the track and explained how the message it carries is the opposite of arrogant.
'The lyrics say it - we almost never win. Generally we disappoint and yet we somehow think, against all experience, that we might do something.

The comedians were the masterminds behind the Three Lions football anthem - which was penned 26 years ago and is chanted by England fans at every tournament
'Little moments — like David Platt scoring in extra time against Belgium in Italia 90 — can break through that despair, and lead you to hope. The song takes you on that journey which is a real one for England fans.'
Baddiel continued: 'I think the song is the opposite of arrogant. It's a vulnerable song about magical thinking.
'What does happen is that when England are doing well, Football's Coming Home itself becomes a kind of mantra pushing us towards victory.
'The most intense I ever heard it chanted was when Shearer scored early on against Germany in the semi-final. The crowd were saying it like a magic spell, like if we sing it fast enough and powerfully enough it will happen.
'It's never meant to mean 'we own football'. It means coming home in the sense of something you hope will finally happen after a long journey.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10785389/Were-NOT-ditching-Three-Lions-FA-chiefs-deny-claims-want-axe-anthem.html | 2022-05-05T10:56:55Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10785389/Were-NOT-ditching-Three-Lions-FA-chiefs-deny-claims-want-axe-anthem.html | false | 3 |

The Mac operating system that we use today was introduced 21 years ago. Whether you’ve been using the Mac longer than that or you’re new to it, macOS is a vast operating system, and there are always features that you either don’t know or have forgotten about, features that you can take advantage of to help you get stuff done.
Here are macOS tips and features that you may not know about or forgot about, and they can help you get more out of your Mac. Some of these have been on the Mac for a while, but others are relatively new. These tips and features are in the latest version of macOS Monterey.
Rearrange menu bar icons
The menu bar is a good way to quickly access frequently-used settings and other functions. To get the most out of it, you can rearrange the icon order to your preferred locations. To move an icon, hold the Command button, and then click and drag the icon to where you want.
A few menu bar items can’t be moved, such as the date and time, Siri, and Control Center. All of the icons to the left of those immovable icons can be rearranged.
Foundry
Customize (and locate) your cursor
If you’ve been using the Mac for as long as I have, that white-and-black pointer cursor is a familiar sight. You can actually give it a little personality with some customizations in the Accessibility settings.
In the Display section of Accessibility, there are settings for Pointer, which modify the Mac’s cursor. You can make the cursor bigger, and you can change its outline and fill colors. Have a little fun and make your Mac a little more personal.
Foundry
And here’s a bonus tip: Inside the Pointer tab you’ll find a checkbox for “Shake mouse pointer to locate.” Turn it on and you’ll be able to wiggle your mouse back and forth quickly to briefly enlarge your cursor. This is great if you often find yourself unable to spot the cursor.
Tile your windows
One of the main reasons users prefer working on a Mac instead of an iPad or iPhone is because macOS is made for multitasking and working in multiple apps at once. For example, I’m writing this in Apple Pages while jumping over to Pixelmator Pro to look at and edit screenshots.
I have a single display on my Mac and I use the Tile Window feature so I can see both apps clearly. Tile Window is available in every Mac app, and to activate it in the app you are using, go to Window in the menu bar, and select Tile Window to Left (or Right) of Screen.
Foundry
The app you are in will move to the side, and the other side will display the other available app windows. Click on one of those apps, and its window will fill that side of the screen. (If a running app doesn’t have anything open, it won’t show as a selection. The app needs to have a file or window open.) To exit this view, press the Escape key on your keyboard.
Change the caption style
My hearing isn’t what it used to be, and I also watch more international shows than ever. So I’ve been watching TV with captions on and I’ve been able to enjoy the show without worrying about misunderstanding what anyone is saying. But the Apple TV app’s default caption style is a little too obtrusive for my taste.
The way to change the caption style is not in the TV app’s preferences but in System Preferences > Accessibility. In the left scroll window, scroll to the Hearing section and click on Captions. Apple offers four caption styles, and you can select one of them. Or you can click on the “+” and create your own style.
Foundry
Note that the caption style set here affects only Apple apps such as TV. If you watch a YouTube video, for example, you’re subjected to the style that YouTube implements.
Create and customize Memojis
Memojis are thought of as an iPhone/iPad thing, and while they are a bit more functional (and fun) on those devices, you can still create or make them in macOS. Here’s how.
- Launch System Preferences (located under the Apple menu).
- Your account should be at the top of the System Preferences window. If you move the cursor over your profile pic, “edit” should appear. Click it.
- In the window that appears, a list of different profile pic options are on the left. Make sure Memoji is selected.
- Your available Memoji appears on the right. If you already have a Memoji and you want to make changes to it, select it and click the Edit button. To make a new Memoji, click the “+” button.
- You will be presented with a set of characteristics you can modify, from Skin to Clothing. Go through each one and make your selections.
- Click Done when finished.
Foundry
After creating a Memoji, you can also set a Pose or a Style (which is basically a background color). If you want to set the Memoji and your Mac’s user profile pic, select it so that it appears in the lower-left corner. Click Save.
If you’re using iCloud and your devices are on the same account, your Memoji will carry over to your other devices.
Copy text in a photo
In macOS Monterey, Apple introduced Live Text, the ability to select and copy any text in an image. For example, if you took a picture of a sign, you can open that picture in the Preview app, move the pointer over the words in a sign, and the pointer changes to the text selection tool. You can then select the text, copy it, and then paste it into a text document. You can learn more about how Live Text works in our overview article.
IDG
Turn on iCloud Private Relay
Apple created iCloud Private Relay to help preserve your privacy when you’re browsing the web. When you use Safari, the data that is sent is encrypted, and then it travels through two intercept relays—points on the internet that data travels through—to help hide your location, IP address, and browsing activity to prevent a profile about you from being created. The second relay is performed by a third-party service to prevent Apple from knowing the user’s information. It’s not quite a VPN, but it’s a great tool for privacy.
To turn on iCloud Private Relay, go to System Preferences and click on your Apple ID. In the checklist on the right, look for Private Relay (Beta) and check the box and click the Options button. There’s also an IP Address Location setting you can modify. Learn more about what iCloud Private Relay can do in our FAQ.
Foundry
Internet Private Relay is still a beta feature, which means it is usable but it still has some obvious kinks to work out and Apple could at any time make a major change to how it works. It requires an iCloud+ subscription, which costs as little as a buck a month for 50GB.
Add extensions to your contextual menu
The macOS contextual menu, accessible by right-clicking, control-clicking, or tapping with two fingers on the trackpad, is great in that it can allow you to do some tasks immediately, saving some steps. It’s not just system functions, though—when you install an app, it often adds functions to the contextual menu.
You may see some app-related actions at the bottom of the pop-up menu, or, when you right-click a file and select Quick Actions, a list of app-related tasks appears. When an app adds this kind of functionality, it’s adding an extension to macOS. But sometimes there are items in the menu that you never use, or you may not know that there are functions available that you could be using.
To manage the contextual menu, go to System Preferences and open Extensions. To specifically manage the Quick Actions section of the contextual menu, go to the Finder section. There are other sections in the left column where you can add to remove tasks. For example, in the Share section, you can add apps to the Share menu.
Foundry
Customize the Touch Bar
If you’re using a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar, you can customize the Touch Bar functions. Here’s how.
- Go to System Preferences > Extensions.
- In the left column selection Touch Bar.
- Click on the Customize Control Strip button.
- A new screen will appear with a selection of buttons at the bottom of the screen. This is the set of Touch Bar buttons that appear when the Control Strip is collapsed.
- To add a button, click and drag the button to the bottom of the screen. The Touch Bar will show the new button.
- To remove a button, move the cursor to the bottom of the screen until a button is highlighted, then move left or right to select the button you want to remove. Click and then drag up on the screen and the button should appear with a “Remove from Touch Bar” tag. Drop the button to remove it.
To customize the Control Strip when it is expanded in the Touch Bar, follow the steps above. At step 4, expand the Touch Bar, and the button set will adjust on-screen. Below is a quick video on what these steps look like.
Erase All Content and Settings
We all run into issues on our Mac that could use a factory restore. If you’re using an Apple silicon Macs or an Intel Macs with a T2 security chip running macOS Monterey, there’s a quick way to erase your Mac’s settings, data, and apps while keeping the currently-installed operating system. This doesn’t erase a Mac completely, just your personal stuff.
Open System Preferences (Apple menu > System Preferences), and then with the System Preferences window at the front, go to the menu bar and click on the System Preference menu. Under About System Preference is a new item called Erase All Content and Settings. It works just like it does on the iPhone and iPad: select it when you want to wipe out your personal info without wiping and reinstalling the entire operating system.
Foundry
You’ll need to enter an administrator password, and you’ll have to go through the steps of the Erase Assistant. The Mac will restart and take you through the setup process. If you don’t want to set up the Mac, press and holding the power button to shut it down.

Ranveer Singh, the powerhouse of Bollywood, is an actor par excellence. The actor who has time and again given hits after hits with his brilliant portrayal of characters is now getting ready for his upcoming comedy-drama 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar'.
Promoting the same he graced the sets of 'The Kapil Sharma Show' with his co-star Shalini Pandey.
While in conversation with host Kapil Sharma, Ranveer Singh revealed how he would indulge in a unique barter system when studying abroad.
"I would often cook food and barter it for work. These students who were from Delhi, Lahore would often miss home, studying abroad. There, the food was bland, not spicy and mazedaar like ours. I then strategised. I thought I'll cook food for them and in exchange, they would help me with my homework and things like that," Ranveer said.

'With the odds stacked against oneself, you turn to the power that love gives you,' shares..."I would make such delicious butter chicken that there would be a line outside my door for it. The secret behind it was that I would use a readymade packet… I would pour that; add a little butter and chicken and my delicacy was ready," he added.
In 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar', Ranveer plays a sharp-witted Gujarati man who stands up for his unborn girl and takes on his family that is representative of the patriarchal society that we live in.
A hilarious satire on society - 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar', produced by Maneesh Sharma, also stars 'Arjun Reddy' famed Shalini Pandey, who debuts on Bollywood’s big screen opposite Ranveer.
The film has been directed by debutant Divyang Thakkar and is releasing worldwide on May 13, 2022.

A little boy with big dreams living in abject poverty in Longdenville got a chance last weekend to spend the day at a swimming pool with his cousins.
Brian Jagessar, who was days away from his fourth birthday, drowned in that pool at Central Park, Balmain, Couva.
Brian was among the children whose difficult lives were featured in an Express story last year, detailing how many of them had no birth records and were therefore unable to attend school or be vaccinated. He however was in possession of a birth certificate when the Express visited last year.
In response to the article, the State took action, ensuring the other children got birth certificates, while others provided help to the parents to improve their living conditions.
Brian loved the water, said his mother, Reshma Jagessar, so relatives surprised him with a day out at a rented pool last Saturday.
But the happiest day in his life turned into a tragedy when Brian dived into the deep end of the pool and never resurfaced.
It took seven minutes for his father to jump in and retrieve his son’s body.
“We performed CPR and pumped his chest, but he was not breathing,” his mother cried.
The child was taken to the Couva District Health Facility where he was pronounced dead around 6 p.m.
Brian would have celebrated his birthday on Saturday.
He had planned a birthday party at his school tomorrow. The cake was ordered and his party bags were packed.
Brian entered his kindergarten classroom for the first time last month and soon became a favourite among teachers and his classmates.
And in a matter of months, the little boy who was full of life and full of promise would have been entering primary school and then on to the rest of his life.
Brian was the grandson of Kissoondai Camini Jagessar, mother of the eight children whose births had not been registered. Reshma Jagessar was her eldest child and the only one with a birth certificate.
What happened
In an interview with the Express yesterday, the 21-year-old mother of three said she worked all of last week so could have enough money to have a birthday party for her first-born son, Brian.
“Brian got a new camp (toy) from my friend and he asked if we can go to the river or a pool. But my cousin-in-law saw this place in Couva and rented it for the day. He paid for it. Brian was so happy he was getting to spend the day with his cousin. He was asking for that for a while. He had such a good time, he was so happy,” she said.
The family arrived at the pool around 1 p.m. Jagessar shared a series of videos from that day of Brian happily playing in the pool and with his cousins.
“We were ready to leave around 5.50 p.m. and Brian asked for some food. I went to get the food for him and his younger brother. I took out the food and turned around to look for him, he was not there,” she said.
Brian’s father, Miguel Balgobin, began a frantic search for the boy. And seven minutes later, Brian was spotted at the bottom of the pool.
“His father dive in and pull him out. We couldn’t revive him. My little boy just died,” Jagessar said.
Precious last moments
Jagessar said she had planned a birthday party for Brian this Saturday.
“He was a happy child. He was brave and would talk to anyone. Everyone loved him and he was bright. He loved school and I know my child would have had a bright future,” she said.
Jagessar recalled her last moments with the little boy last Saturday. “He kissed me and said, ‘Mom, I love you all in the world and in my heart and in the sky,’” she said.
The Express was greeted by Brian during a visit last year. The bright-eyed, well-mannered boy was brave and shared his dreams of going to school. He told the Express that he loved fishing and wanted to drive a van.
And with a heart-warming smile, Brian told the Express, “I want to write like that one day and go to school and have friends, too. I want to drive a big van.”
An autopsy is expected to be performed on Brian’s body today (Thursday). He will be laid to rest later this week. | https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/brians-tragic-end/article_f5beb2b8-cc11-11ec-b868-efe1e25c65cd.html | 2022-05-05T11:03:53Z | https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/brians-tragic-end/article_f5beb2b8-cc11-11ec-b868-efe1e25c65cd.html | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates — as it did Wednesday — the impact doesn’t stop with U.S. homebuyers paying more for mortgages or Main Street business owners facing costlier bank loans.
The fallout can be felt beyond America’s borders, hitting shopkeepers in Sri Lanka, farmers in Mozambique and families in poorer countries around the world. The impacts abroad range from higher borrowing costs to depreciating currencies.
“It will put pressure on all types of developing countries,’’ said Eric LeCompte, executive director of the Jubilee USA Network, a coalition of groups seeking to reduce global poverty.
The managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, was worried enough last month to warn the Fed and other rate-hiking central banks to stay “mindful of the spillover risks to vulnerable emerging and developing economies.’’
Citing the harsher financial conditions, the IMF recently downgraded the outlook for economic growth this year in developing and emerging market countries to 3.8%, a full percentage point below what it forecast in January.
The Fed on Wednesday raised its benchmark short-term rate by half a percentage point to its highest level since the pandemic hit two years ago, and signaled that more rate hikes will come.
The U.S. rate hikes can deliver long-distance damage in a number of ways. First, they could slow the American economy and reduce U.S. consumers’ appetite for foreign goods.
They also affect global investment: As rates rise in the U.S, safer American government and corporate bonds start looking more attractive to global investors. So they can pull money out of poor and middle-income countries and invest it in the United States. Those shifts drive up the U.S. dollar and push down currencies in the developing world.
Falling currencies can cause problems. They make it more expensive to pay for imported food and other products. That is especially worrisome at a time when supply chain bottlenecks and the war in Ukraine have already disrupted shipments of grain and fertilizer and pushed up food prices worldwide to alarming levels.
To defend their sinking currencies, central banks in developing countries are likely to raise their own rates; some have already started. That can cause economic damage: It slows growth, wipes out jobs and squeezes business borrowers. It also forces indebted governments to spend more of their budgets on interest payments and less on things like fighting COVID-19 and feeding the poor.
The IMF’s Georgieva has warned that 60% of low-income countries are already in or near “debt distress’’ — an alarming threshold reached when their debt payments equal half the size of their national economies.
Despite the risks of collateral damage, the Fed is expected to raise rates several more times this year to combat resurgent inflation in the United States.
The inflationary surge is the result of an unexpectedly strong recovery from the pandemic recession of 2020, a rebound that caught businesses by surprise and forced them to scramble to find workers and supplies to meet customer demand. The result has been shortages, delays in filling orders and higher prices. In March, U.S. consumer prices rose 8.5% from a year earlier — biggest jump since 1981.
By pushing up interest rates, the Fed is hoping to pull off a so-called soft landing — raising rates just enough to slow the economy and bring inflation under control but not enough to tip the U.S. economy into another recession.
Developing countries are worried the Fed waited too long to begin its anti-inflationary campaign and will be forced to raise rates so aggressively it causes a hard landing that hurts the United States and developing countries alike.
“They would have been much better off if the Fed would have reacted more swiftly when the problem started’’ last year, said Liliana Rojas-Suarez, senior fellow at the Center for Global Development.
The Fed does not have an impressive record of engineering soft landings. The last one came in the mid-1990s under Fed Chair Alan Greenspan, an episode that ended unhappily for many developing countries.
“The U.S. was able to manage inflation well and avoid recession,’’ Rojas-Suarez said, “but at the same time created huge spillovers for emerging markets.’’ What followed was a series of financial crises — in Mexico, in Russia and eventually across much of Asia.
Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, notes that many emerging market countries are in a much stronger financial position than they were back then, or even in 2013, when Fed plans to cut back its easy money policies sent investment fleeing the developing world.
For one thing, many have beefed up their foreign currency reserves, which central banks can use to buy and support their countries’ currencies or meet foreign debt payments in a crisis. On the eve of the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, for instance, Thailand’s reserves were equal to 19% of its economy; now they’re at 47%, according to the institute, a trade group for global banks.
Brooks also says that rising raw materials prices are “a bit of windfall’’ for commodities exporters like oil-producing Nigeria and soybean-producing Brazil.
But some countries remain vulnerable to financial shocks. Among them are those that rely heavily on imported oil and other commodities and that have low reserves compared to what they owe other countries. At the top of Rojas-Suarez’s list of the most exposed to financial risks is Sri Lanka, which last month said it was suspending repayment of foreign debt while it works out a loan restructuring program with the IMF. Also flashing red are Tunisia, Turkey and Mozambique.
Rising U.S. interest rates don’t always spell disaster for developing world countries. If they’re climbing because the U.S. economy is strong — and businesses and consumers want loans to buy things — that means more opportunities for countries with exports to sell into the U.S. market.
But the fallout is very different when the Fed is hiking borrowing costs in a deliberate campaign to slow U.S. growth and wring inflationary pressures out of the economy.
“If higher rates are driven mainly by worries about inflation or a hawkish turn in Fed policy … this will likely be more disruptive for emerging markets,’’ economists from the Fed and the conservative American Enterprise Institute wrote in a paper last year.
Which, worryingly, is what the Fed is doing now.
It’s another blow to countries still contending with big debts, large numbers of unvaccinated people and surging food prices.
“It’s added pressure,’’ LeCompte says, “and how much pressure can governments take?’’ | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/rising-interest-rates-in-us-will-hinder-foreign-economies/ | 2022-05-05T11:10:18Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/rising-interest-rates-in-us-will-hinder-foreign-economies/ | true | 33 |
Belarus’ authoritarian leader said that he didn’t expect Russia’s “operation” in Ukraine to drag on for so long and claimed he was doing “everything” to stop the war, in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday.
President Alexander Lukashenko defended Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, he said he didn't think it would “drag on this way.”
“But I am not immersed in this problem enough to say whether it goes according to plan, like the Russians say, or like I feel it. I want to stress one more time, I feel like this operation has dragged on,” Lukashenko said during the nearly 90-minute interview at the Independence Palace in Minsk.
He also alleged that Ukraine was “provoking Russia” and insisted that Belarus stands for peace.
More Russia-Ukraine War Coverage
“We categorically do not accept any war. We have done and are doing everything now so that there isn’t a war. Thanks to yours truly, me that is, negotiations between Ukraine and Russia have begun,” he said.
“But why is Ukraine, on whose territory a war in effect is ongoing, military action, people are dying — why is Ukraine not interested in these negotiations?”
Lukashenko also said it would be “unacceptable” to use nuclear weapons, but he couldn't say if Russia has such plans.
“Not only is the use of nuclear weapons unacceptable because it’s right next to us — we are not across the ocean like the United States. It is also unacceptable because it might knock our terrestrial ball flying off the orbit to who knows where,” Lukashenko said. “Whether or not Russia is capable of that — is a question you need to ask the Russian leadership.”
Russia deployed forces to Belarusian territory under the pretext of military drills and then sent them rolling into Ukraine as part of the invasion that began on Feb. 24.
Lukashenko publicly supported the operation, alleging at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in early March that Ukraine planned to attack Belarus and that Moscow’s offensive prevented that. He said he brought a map to show Putin from where the alleged attack was supposed to take place, but offered no other evidence to back the claim.
Lukashenko also told the AP that Putin isn't seeking a direct conflict with NATO, and urged the West to ensure that one doesn't happen.
“He most likely does not want a global confrontation with NATO. Use it. Use it and do everything for that not to happen. Otherwise, even if Putin doesn’t want it, the military will react,” the Belarusian leader said.
Earlier this week, the Belarusian military announced snap drills that raised concerns in Ukraine. However, Lukashenko assured the AP on Thursday that the drills didn’t threaten anyone.
“We do not threaten anyone and we are not going to threaten and will not do it. Moreover, we can’t threaten — we know who opposes us, so to unleash some kind of a conflict, some kind of war here in the West is absolutely not in the interests of the Belarusian state. So the West can sleep peacefully.”

BOSTON, May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced the completion of its acquisition of Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc. (“Golden Nugget Online Gaming” or “GNOG”) (the “GNOG Acquisition”).
The GNOG Acquisition will, among other things, allow DraftKings to leverage Golden Nugget’s established brand to broaden its reach into new customer segments and enhance the combined company’s iGaming product offerings through DraftKings’ vertically-integrated tech stack and Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s unique capabilities – including Live Dealer. The GNOG Acquisition does not include brick and mortar Golden Nugget casinos, which will continue to be owned by Fertitta Entertainment.
“Acquiring Golden Nugget Online Gaming gives us synergies across our business,” said Jason Robins, Chairman and CEO of DraftKings. “We anticipate that this acquisition will provide meaningful revenue uplift by utilizing our data-driven marketing capabilities and a dual brand iGaming strategy, gross margin improvement opportunities, and cost savings across external marketing and SG&A. I am proud to welcome the Golden Nugget Online Gaming team to the DraftKings family.”
“This will be an alliance unlike any other in the digital sports, entertainment and online gaming industry,” said Tilman Fertitta, Chairman and CEO of Golden Nugget Online Gaming. “Now that the acquisition is completed, I look forward to what the future will bring for our combined company and am confident this relationship will be a huge success.”
DraftKings will integrate Golden Nugget Online Gaming employees across its business, including Thomas Winter, who will transition to General Manager of North America iGaming, from his previous role as President of Golden Nugget Online Gaming.
Synergies and Strategic Benefits of the Acquisition
The GNOG Acquisition will deliver significant benefits to DraftKings as well as expected synergies of $300 million at maturity. DraftKings will deploy a multi-brand approach that will enhance cross-selling opportunities and drive increased revenue growth. In addition, there will be multiple channels for cost savings by, among other things, recognizing enhanced returns on advertising spending through marketing efficiencies, eliminating platform costs from migrating Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s current technology to DraftKings’ in-house proprietary platform, and reducing G&A costs, such as vendor services and duplicative overhead. Additionally, DraftKings and Fertitta Entertainment expect to rebrand certain current and future retail sportsbook locations at Fertitta Entertainment-owned Golden Nugget properties into DraftKings sportsbooks.
Combined company revenues
DraftKings expects revenue to increase from additional cross-promotion opportunities, which would be expected to complementarily grow DraftKings’ customer base by engaging existing Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s iGaming-first customers. Additional anticipated revenue synergies include potential technology and game expansion, such as Live Dealer offerings.
Marketing efficiencies
The GNOG Acquisition will allow DraftKings to drive efficiencies by streamlining marketing and capitalizing on additional cross-promotion opportunities. By deploying a multi-brand strategy and accessing Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s built-in iGaming-first customer, DraftKings expects to recognize increased returns on advertising spending and greater LTV to CAC ratios.
Technology optimization
DraftKings plans to bring Golden Nugget Online Gaming onto its in-house technology, which is expected to deliver cost savings by reducing Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s third-party platform costs, operating expenses, and vendor costs. Additionally, once integrated, customers of both brands will utilize DraftKings’ technology and have access to expanded product offerings and features, including in-house live dealer and proprietary games, as well as an overall improvement in the customer experience.
Advisors
Raine Group served as exclusive financial advisor to DraftKings, and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP served as legal counsel to DraftKings. Jefferies served as lead financial advisor to Golden Nugget Online Gaming, and White & Case LLP served as legal counsel to Golden Nugget Online Gaming. Spectrum Gaming Capital acted as financial advisor and White & Case LLP acted as legal counsel to the Special Committee of Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s board of directors. Latham and Watkins LLP served as legal counsel to Fertitta Entertainment.

In the spring of 2021, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was a worried man. In a book published this week, “This Will Not Pass,” New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns report the Senate minority leader told friends he believed the temporarily expanded child tax credit would prove so popular that even if Republicans retook the House in the 2022 elections, it would be too late to reverse the bill. The measure put hundreds of dollars a month in the pockets of U.S. families, and resulted in an almost immediate double-digit drop in the number of children living in poverty. How would Republicans counter that?
He got it wrong. The expansion was allowed to expire in December. Millions of households fell back into penury as quickly as they had been lifted out. The only scandal was that, contra McConnell’s fears, it wasn’t a scandal at all.
Instead, the saga of the tax credit instead demonstrated that the United States’ stated devotion to children is often so much cheap sentiment. In the face of evidence that a few hundred extra dollars boosts child welfare enormously, we continue to choose to keep our nation’s wallet snapped firmly shut.
Two recently released reports — one from the Brookings Institution, the other from the Center for Law and Social Policy — show how transformative the expanded child tax credit, passed as part of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan in the late winter of last year, was for millions of American families, providing not just money but security on multiple fronts.
A reminder of how it all worked: Households earning less than $150,000 annually received $3,600 for children under the age of six, and $3,000 for those seven and up, much of the money coming in the form of a monthly stipend. Higher-income households received money on a sliding scale. In all, almost nine out of 10 families with children under the age of 18 received money from the program. (My husband and I were, for a short time, one of them — we received exactly one check before our younger son aged out.)
The studies show families used the temporary monthly stipend to pay routine household expenses, including rent, school supplies and extracurricular activities, and food — families receiving the credit reported they ate more balanced meals. (Yes, a bit more fast food was consumed compared to households not receiving the benefit — but so was more protein, fruits and vegetables.)
In fact, when Brookings compared households receiving the child tax credit with those that were ineligible, they found those who received the de facto allowance were more likely to pay down credit card bills and less likely to turn to payday loans to get by. Their chances of getting evicted were lower. They were also less likely to resort to such desperate measures as selling their blood plasma to raise cash.
Nonetheless, Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.), in particular, encouraged people to believe the myth of the slothful and lazy parent living high on the government hog. HuffPost reported that Manchin privately told people he believed families would use the money to buy drugs.
Manchin was far from the only villain here. Polls showed that many didn’t want to see the measure enacted permanently. (Seniors were particularly against it.) True, Americans are forever suspicious of someone receiving a helping hand — but, in this case, the people getting helped were often us, or our family members, or our friends. It just didn’t seem to matter. The fact that millions of families are now sliding back into precarious living conditions is garnering next to no outrage.
Attempts to bring the expansion back seem doomed to failure. The White House is increasingly convinced Manchin wants to make no deal at all on Biden’s Build Back Better bill, which would have renewed the policy. As for expanded child tax credit legislation sponsored by Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), it would not only need to attract bipartisan support — something that’s highly unlikely — it contains a poison pill for Democrats in the form of doing away entirely with the federal tax break for up to $10,000 in state and local taxes.
It’s all penny-wise but pound-foolish. As I pointed out last year, academic research demonstrates that income supports for families lead to everything from improved infant birth weights to better high school graduation rates, as well as an increased likelihood of attending college. That, in turn, will massively benefit each and every one of us.
But none of those potential benefits can surmount our indifference to helping children and families. Look at our dismal track record. We’re the only first-world nation that doesn’t mandate paid family leave for new moms. We suffer the highest infant mortality rate of our peer countries. We pay their teachers less than others with similar education credentials, and our nation’s response to mass school shootings is to offer thoughts and prayers.
When you view it through that prism, the surprise isn’t that the expanded child tax credit was allowed to expire. It’s that it ever happened at all. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/05/biden-child-tax-credit-success-expiration/ | 2022-05-05T11:28:52Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/05/biden-child-tax-credit-success-expiration/ | false | 1 |

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, headlined by an ensemble cast and rumored cameos. Ahead of the sequel hitting theaters, there is ample potential for anything from plot twists to surprise cameos to occur.
Doctor Strange 2 predictions
As the Doctor Strange sequel will explore the multiverse, there is unlimited potential for anything and everything to occur. Based on trailer and television spot footage alone, we know there will be multiple versions of Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch appearing on screen. We’ve seen variant versions of heroes teased to appear, such as a variant Captain Marvel portrayed by Maria Rambeau, as well as brief shots of Captain Carter’s shield, who was voiced by Hayley Atwell in the animated series What If?. Most notably, we heard the voice of Patrick Stewart, who portrayed Professor Charles Xavier in Fox’s X-Men franchise, before the rights were purchased by Disney and subsequently Marvel Studios.
The madness will literally not stop there, and based on assumptions alone, here is what can potentially occur once Multiverse of Madness hits theaters.
Unexpected crossovers
When the latest Multiverse of Madness trailer gave audiences a quick glance at Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor Charles Xavier, the tease confirmed what many fans had longed for: the arrival of the X-Men and mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the expectation was that Marvel Studios would recast the characters, and they very may well still do so, having Patrick Stewart reprise his role is the ultimate fan service to die-hard comics fans. But the crossovers may not stop there.
The most recent television spot featured Baron Mordo uttering to Stephen Strange, “The Illuminati will see you now.” In comics lore, the group was comprised of founding members Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, Charles Xavier, Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and Iron Man. Reed Richards is the glaring name on that list, and with Disney now holding the rights to the Fantastic Four, Multiverse of Madness would be the ideal film to quickly spotlight his arrival into the MCU.
As to which actor would portray him? Marvel will either nod towards the past with Ioan Gruffudd (who portrayed Mr. Fantastic in Fox’s franchise) or potentially do fan service with John Krasinksi portraying the hero (a popular fan casting).
Surprise cameos
The other name that jumps off the Illuminati roster is Tony Stark’s Iron Man. But the prediction is not that Robert Downey Jr. will make a brief return on screen, rather Marvel Studios may cast the original actor they wanted at the start of the MCU: Tom Cruise. It’s known that Marvel Studios originally wanted Cruise to portray the billionaire tech genius, only for Cruise to demand that his costume feature a helmet that did not cover his face. Coincidentally, in the comics, there is a “Superior Iron Man” whose suit is so advanced and features an open helmet.
Casting Tom Cruise, even for a brief cameo, would be the ultimate easter egg with fans knowing the backstory of said casting.
Marvel fans know that cameos don’t just occur in the film itself, but are historically saved for the mid-credits and end-credits scenes. Marvel Studios may just pull off a pairing that fans have long awaited to see and may only get the chance if for a brief moment after the film: the appearance of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. With Professor Xavier already teased and the rights to the X-Men underneath the Disney umbrella, Marvel Studios can pull hit a home run and have Wolverine and Deadpool interact for a hilarious post-credits easter egg.
While Ryan Reynolds’ is expected to reprise his role as Wade Wilson in Deadpool 3, Hugh Jackman has notably said goodbye to the role of Wolverine. But, as a nice service to the fans, why not return for an albeit brief introduction of the two characters to the MCU?
The true villain revealed
Despite all the footage we’ve seen in the teaser trailers and television spots, fans still don’t truly know who the feature villain will be. We’ve seen Gargantos, the one-eyed tentacle monster face off with Doctor Strange. Footage has shown the Scarlet Witch going on a rampage herself, likely driven by her search for her children across the multiverse. But is it possible that an entirely different and larger threat looms in Multiverse of Madness?
When thinking of the multiverse, one superior villain of comics lore comes to mind and he’s already been (subtly) teased: Kang the Conqueror. Jonathan Majors portrayed a variant version of the popular villain as “He Who Remains” in Marvel Studios’ Loki series. Majors is confirmed to portray the villain in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but who's to say we have to wait that long for Kang to appear?
Kang, whose vast knowledge has made him so technologically advanced that he’s been able to traverse between universes (as well as between the past and the future) would be the ultimate villain reveal for Multiverse of Madness. His appearance may be brief and his screentime may be little, but it would make sense for Kang to be pulling the strings from behind the scenes, leading Strange into danger and potentially leaving him in peril. And who would be needed to aid in the rescue? Fans would then find out in the villain’s next appearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, scheduled for early 2023. | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/5/5/23053943/doctor-strange-2-predictions-spoilers-rumors-multiverse-of-madness-marvel-news-updates | 2022-05-05T11:32:12Z | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/5/5/23053943/doctor-strange-2-predictions-spoilers-rumors-multiverse-of-madness-marvel-news-updates | false | 1 |
Police defend sexual identities guide against waste of money claims
- Credit: Nick Butcher
Norfolk’s chief constable has defended the use of a guide listing 37 different gender terms and sexual identities to help police officers and staff deal with members of the public.
The guide, titled ‘The + in LGBT’, which is among internal documents on the force’s intranet system, explains current terminology alongside a picture of a ‘gender bread person’ – a play on gingerbread man.
Among the terms it refers to are polygender, when someone identifies with multiple genders at once, and grey asexual, someone who 'experiences attraction rarely’.
Its contents were revealed following a freedom of information request by the Mail on Sunday, with some critics branded it a “waste of money”.
But questioned about its inclusion, chief constable Paul Sanford told an accountability meeting held by Norfolk police and crime commissioner (PCC) it would help officers and staff “understand the growing number of terms associated with gender and sexuality in the modern age”.
He said: “It has not been given to all officers as a form of training. There has been no requirement for officers to access the page and there has been no briefing of officers on the content of the page.
“It is simply there as a guide should anyone find themselves wanting to better their understanding in this area.”
Home Office figures show there was a 25pc rise in homophobic crimes recorded in the county in the year ending March 2021, while transgender motivated offences more than doubled.

Former Shadow Home Secretary Ann Widdecombe had told the Mail on Sunday that the document was “absolute madness and a complete waste of rate-payers’ money”.
But the chief constable said the guide, produced by a website called It’s Pronounced Metrosexual, had been downloaded for free.
“Our community safety team saw this document and thought it would be a helpful reference guide,” he said. “Should an officer or member of staff in future feel that they need information in this area, it is no more than that.”
Norfolk PCC Giles Orpen-Smellie said it was “perfectly reasonable" for it to be included as a “quick go-to reference to find information and knowledge”.
Earlier this year a separate freedom of information request revealed just over 10pc of police in Norfolk and Suffolk identify as being gay, lesbian or bisexual. | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/norfolk-police-gender-sexual-identity-lgbt-guide-8943074 | 2022-05-05T11:37:01Z | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/norfolk-police-gender-sexual-identity-lgbt-guide-8943074 | false | 1 |

Ukraine wants complete energy embargo on Russia - senior parliamentarian
KYIV, May 5 (Reuters) - Ukraine hopes the European Union will impose an embargo on Russian natural gas and oil and wants Ukraine and Europe to "completely abandon Russian energy resources", a senior member of the Ukrainian parliament said on Thursday.
Andriy Gerus, who heads parliament's Committee on Energy and Public Utilities, said he expected fuel supplies in Ukraine to improve in mid-May and that Ukraine had a surplus of coal. He expected Kyiv would have to start importing natural gas again over the summer to fill storage facilities for the next heating season.
"As soon as European countries stop buying Russian gas, we will gladly stop transiting it to Europe," he told an online briefing. "We support the (EU) embargo on both oil and oil products, as well as on gas and coal, and we hope that we will come to this with time, that Ukraine and Europe will completely abandon Russian energy resources."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The traditionally insular Supreme Courtis about to face the full force of public pressure and abortion politicsas justices make a final decision on whether to throw out the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.
The justices are entering a politically explosive new era, drafting what may well be the most consequential opinion on women’s health and privacy in 50 years, while a watchful public primed by the nation’s culture wars looks over their shoulders and tries furiously to influence the outcome.
Justice Samuel Alito appeared to be bracing for the onslaught, stiffening the spines ofhis conservative court colleaguesin his leaked draft opinion for the court’s majority that would overturn the 1973 ruling and its constitutional right to abortion.
“We cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences such as concern about the public’s reaction to our work,” Alito wrote in the February draft documentthat was circulated to fellow justices as they prepare a final decision, expected by June.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi often says, quoting Abraham Lincoln, public sentiment is everything. But justices, unlike lawmakers, don’t have to run for reelection.
At one point this week, more than 1,000 people flooded to the steps of the Supreme Court. In Los Angeles, police put the city on tactical alert after a confrontation between abortion rights supporters and police downtown. Fresh polling showed most Americans support preserving some access to abortion services.
“Let us fight with everything we’ve got,” Vice President Kamala Harris said in a speech at the EMILY”s List political action committee’s national conference.
While President Joe Biden and fellow proponents of abortion access are fired up to defend Roe v. Wade, the pushing is far from one-sided. Republicans who have labored toward this moment for decades with efforts to fill the court with conservative justices — gaining three during the four years of the Trump administration — are determined to finally accomplish their goal.
Urging the justices to stick to their process, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell promised that senators would “have their backs, no matter what.”
In a televised speech from the Capitol just across the street from the court, McConnell, who is a chief architect of a campaign to confirm conservative judges, encouraged the justices to “tune out the bad faith noise and feel completely free to do their jobs.”
The leaked draft gave Americans a rare, up-close sneak preview of the typically private, hidden deliberations of the high court, and the disclosure is propelling a public outpouring of opinion and protest reflective of the nation’s long debate over abortion policy — all in the run-up to the fall’s contested congressional elections.
It’s unclear if the justices will be swayed by the intense public scrutiny. But the disclosure has launched the most dramatic pulling back of the curtain on the high court’s work in modern memory. Not since the 1970s have the Supreme Court’s private deliberations become so public— in fact, the final Roe v. Wade decision leaked hours before it was announced.
Political pressure campaigns are being launched and millions of dollars unleashed on all sides, to save or end abortion access in the U.S., all while the justices privately draft their final opinion.
While the justices themselves have lifetime appointments and are shielded from the need for campaign contributions that can influence views, elected officials and candidates running for the House, Senate and offices throughout the states will be confronted with untold efforts to force them to take sides.
“Every single American is going to see where every single senator stands on protecting a woman’s right to choose,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised. “Americans will be watching.”
To be sure, for Democrats and others trying to preserve abortion access, public opinion is about the only tool on their side, with Congress very unlikelyto salvage the Roe v. Wade ruling on its own.
The House, led by Democrats, has already approved legislation that would protect abortion access by putting the Roe ruling into law. But the narrowly split Democratic Senate will not have the votes to follow suit without support from Republicans.
Just two Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, publicly support abortion access. And while they have introduced their own bill to keep abortion legal, it is not at all clear they would buck their own party leadership to help pass a Democratic measure.
Other Republicans, following McConnell’s lead, have been quick to focus on the leaking of the high court’s private draft, rather than the prospect that millions of American women could lose access to abortion services if Roe v. Wade is struck down.
Speculation is swirling over the rare leak and whether it was meant to build pressure for the outcome that Alito was proposing or against it.
Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, a former law clerk to Alito, described the security around the court’s work, complete with “burn bags” to collect and double-shred the day’s discarded documents. He decried the breach even as he welcomed the direction the court was taking under the draft opinion.
“While I’m convinced this leak may have been an attempt to intimidate the justices in the majority, perhaps an effort to try to get them to change their positions, I’m also confident this attempt will not succeed and it must not succeed,” Lee said on the Senate floor.
Chief Justice John Roberts has ordered an investigation into the leak, but it is unclear how long that will take and whether it would be resolved before the court issues its rulings at the end of June or early July.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who has supported bills to limit abortion and is up for reelection in Wisconsin, said in a statement that neither personal beliefs nor “pressure from the radical left to intimidate sitting Supreme Court justices, should be the basis on which this profound moral issue should be decided for all of society.” | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/political-news/abortion-draft-puts-wave-of-public-pressure-on-supreme-court/ | 2022-05-05T11:51:04Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/political-news/abortion-draft-puts-wave-of-public-pressure-on-supreme-court/ | false | 28 |

NEW YORK (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins poured into the dressing room after the first period of overtime against the New York Rangers spent. Their legs heavy and the outcome still undecided, they dove headfirst into the fruit and sports drinks laid out by the team’s training staff.
Well, not everyone.
Louis Domingue wasn’t spent. Just hungry. The kind of gnaw in the stomach that comes from nervously sitting around for three-plus hours watching your teammates trade wild swings of momentum with the Rangers.
So Pittsburgh’s well-traveled backup goaltender looked over the options available Tuesday night and settled on a spicy pork dish. Just something to tide him over until postgame, whenever that might come. He wasn’t supposed to play. Not with starter Casey DeSmith matching Vezina Trophy favorite Igor Shesterkin save for save through four periods.
DeSmith wouldn’t make it through five periods. A lower-body injury sent him skating toward the exit in the middle of the second overtime. Suddenly, the player who wondered if his love of the game would return as his 30th birthday approached was thrust into the spotlight just a few blocks from Broadway, belly filled with spicy pork and all.
What happened next will live on in Penguins lore, no matter how their first-round series with the favored Rangers goes.
Domingue turned aside all 17 shots he faced from New York, buying his teammates enough time to win it on Evgeni Malkin’s deflection 5:58 into the third overtime.
Pittsburgh will carry a 1-0 lead into Thursday night’s Game 2 thanks in large part to a journeyman who hopes he may finally have found a sense of place. With DeSmith’s status uncertain, Domingue appears headed for his first career playoff start.
He can only hope to pull off a repeat of his unlikely Game 1 cameo. He thought the referees were joking when they skated over to the bench and told him to get loose. They weren’t. So Domingue stretched a little, threw on his catcher and blocker and then settled into the crease. It all happened so quickly, there was no time to get jittery.
“You dream about that your whole life, you’re playing in overtime in the playoffs, are you kidding me?” Domingue said. “You think you’d be nervous in a situation like that, but it was just fun for me.”
The kind of fun that was hard for Domingue to find when the Penguins signed him to a one-year contract on the eve of training camp last September. He’d spent most of the 2020-21 season in the minors. More of the same awaited in Pittsburgh, which was set at the top with All-Star Tristan Jarry and DeSmith.
Still, Domingue threw himself into his work. He posted a solid .924 save percentage playing for the Penguins’ AHL affiliate and played well in two spot starts in the NHL, the second a 39-save performance in a loss to Philadelphia two weeks ago.
“I wanted to be back in the NHL this year,” Domingue said. “I think I put in the effort to get back. I had a few opportunities here and there. I’m pretty happy to be where I am today. I’m pretty lucky to be playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s a hell of a team.”
A team that now finds its playoff fate tied — at least in the short term — to the play of a goaltender who hasn’t been an NHL regular for nearly a half-decade. Domingue began his career in Arizona in 2014, playing for a series of bad teams that never reached the playoffs. He had more success as a No. 2 in Tampa — including a 21-5 mark in 2018-19 — before bouncing to New Jersey, Vancouver and Calgary. He made just one start for the Canucks. And one for the Flames.
Still, Pittsburgh’s front office liked Domingue’s experience and with nobody in the minors NHL ready, took a flyer on him. Eight months later, it paid off spectacularly. At least for a night.
“The depth in all the positions is so critically important this time of year and we’re living it right now,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “That’s the importance of that No. 3 goalie in the event you have to go to him, if you can fill that position with a real capable guy that has NHL experience, that’s a huge bonus and Louis checks all those boxes.”
The Penguins called up Alex D’Orio from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, a serious hint that Domingue will get the nod in Game 2. Sullivan is only hoping things go as smoothly for Domingue with a bit more than a moment’s notice to get ready.
“That’s not an easy task when you’re sitting on the bench for that long,” Sullivan said. “He was on the bench for a long time. He made a couple of key saves for us early on right away. I thought he did a terrific job under real tough circumstances.”

Untreated sewage was discharged into England’s coastal bathing waters for more than 160,000 hours last year, according to figures collated by the Liberal Democrats.
Environment Agency figures on 2021 discharges show that water companies released raw sewage 25,000 times into designated bathing waters off the English coast.
The bathing water designations – which were created by the EU – are designed to highlight the country’s cleanest and safest waters for the public.
The quality of the water is identified on signs at the beaches, ranging from excellent to poor.
The longest discharges into bathing waters were carried out by United Utilities, which released untreated sewage into sea-swimming spots in the north west for almost 75,000 hours.
The company’s worst-hit bathing water site was Morecambe South beach.
Tim Farron, Westmorland and Lonsdale MP and also Lib Dem rural affairs spokesman, said: “It is now or never to save families from swimming in sewage-infested waters this summer.
“Children should be free to enjoy Britain’s great coastlines and lakes, yet Conservative ministers are letting water companies get away with shameful sewage dumps. This is an environmental scandal.”
Coun Dave Brookes, Lancaster City Council cabinet member with responsibility for environmental services, said: “Morecambe Bay is an internationally important site for wading birds, as well as a seaside resort and a centre for a growing number of water-based activities.
"With the prospect of Eden Project North just around the corner, we can expect to see many more visitors coming to the town to enjoy its sandy beaches.
“These latest reports are very concerning and we will continue to make the strongest possible case to both United Utilities and the Environment Agency that the cleanliness of our bathing waters should be a top priority.”
United Utilities said there had been billions of pounds of investment over the last 30 years.
“Across the region, 93 per cent of bathing waters were classified as Good or Excellent in 2021 and all met the designated minimum standards,” a spokesman said.
“We are already committed to a programme of action for further improvements, building on this environmental achievement, and we are spending £230m over the next three years to reduce the impact of storm overflows.” | https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/environment/morecambe-beach-is-worst-hit-by-raw-sewage-in-sea-3681373 | 2022-05-05T11:53:09Z | https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/environment/morecambe-beach-is-worst-hit-by-raw-sewage-in-sea-3681373 | false | 1 |
