Wyoming defamation lawsuit against Alec Baldwin is dismissed
A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit against Alec Baldwin over online harassment filed by the family of a Wyoming Marine who was killed in Afghanistan
A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit over online harassment filed against actor Alec Baldwin by the family of a Marine who was killed in Afghanistan, saying the Wyoming court did not have jurisdiction over the case.
An attorney for the family said the case would be refiled elsewhere, the Casper Star-Tribune reported Wednesday.
The sisters and widow of Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum alleged Baldwin subjected them to online harassment after he posted and commented on a photo shared online by one of McCollum's sisters, Roice McCollum, who had been in Washington during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.
Baldwin had donated $5,000 to the family after learning of the death of Rylee McCollum in a bombing at the airport in Kabul in August 2021, just weeks before his daughter was born. Baldwin had contacted Roice McCollum via Instagram, according to the lawsuit.
In January 2022, Baldwin saw that Roice McCollum posted a nearly year-old picture of demonstrators from former President Donald Trump’s rally taken on the day Congress counted the Electoral College votes from the 2020 presidential election, the complaint stated.
Baldwin sent her a private message and confirmed she had organized the fundraiser for her brother, the lawsuit said. She responded that her participation in the protest was “perfectly legal,” according to court documents.
Baldwin told Roice McCollum he would share her photo with his 2.4 million Instagram followers and wrote: “Good luck,” according to the lawsuit.
Roice McCollum said in the lawsuit that she received hundreds of hateful messages in response to his post. The complaint, which also names her sister Cheyenne McCollum and Rylee’s wife, Jiennah McCollum, as plaintiffs, sought $25 million in damages.
Baldwin asked for the case to be dismissed, saying he was expressing his political opinion, that he had not been in Wyoming and that claims by Cheyenne and Jiennah McCollum should be dismissed because he did not make any statements about them.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal said Wednesday that the case could not be brought in Wyoming because Baldwin made the posts from New York and because they were not directed specifically at a Wyoming audience. Her decision did not address the veracity of the allegations in the complaint.
“We are pleased with this victory,” said Baldwin's attorney Luke Nikas. “This is a significant step toward the complete dismissal of the lawsuit, which seeks to punish Mr. Baldwin for expressing his political opinion.”
Dennis Postiglione, an attorney for the McCollums, said that the case would probably be refiled in New York, where Baldwin lives, or in California, where he works.

DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY BEGINS FABRICATION WORK ON THE McCAULEY HELIUM PROCESSING FACILITY
PR Newswire
VANCOUVER, BC, May 5, 2022
VANCOUVER, BC, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the "Company") (TSXV: DME) (U.S. OTC: DMEHF) (Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company.
Desert Mountain Energy's contractor, GENERON, has begun fabrication of the McCauley Helium Processing Facility. The processing facility is the first solar-powered helium processing facility in the world. In addition to using solar energy, the Company will also use hydrogen that was discovered in the McCauley Helium Field as a backup energy source. To remain efficient and save money, DME's engineering teams designed the McCauley Helium Processing Facility utilizing mostly off-the-shelf components. Connections are designed with the highest structural strengths to ensure a long-life span with multiple redundant critical aspects.
"We are excited that GENERON has begun assembly on the McCauley Helium Processing Facility," says Robert Rohlfing, CEO of Desert Mountain Energy Corp. "DME has proven that we can discover helium and the plant will demonstrate that we can produce, process and sell it directly to end-users. Plant startup, which is scheduled for completion some time in the third quarter, is a major component of our goals. The worldwide helium supply continues to be in critically short supply and DME is striving to be part of the solution."
The Company has also completed work on wells 5, 6 and 7 with flow gas samples being sent by ground transportation to an independent lab for gaseous analysis.
Desert Mountain Energy Corp. is a publicly traded resource company primarily focused on exploration, development and production of helium, hydrogen and noble gases. The Company is primarily looking for elements deemed critical to the renewable energy and high technology industries.

How Russian aggression has shifted the balance of power in Europe
War in Ukraine, and the threat of it spreading farther afield, means the voices of central European states can no longer be ignored in Brussels, writes Oliver Moody
The spat was, on the face of it, only the latest in a long line of unedifying contretemps between western and central Europe. Several weeks ago, in the heat of the French election campaign, Mateusz Morawiecki, the Polish prime minister, mocked President Macron for his repeated phone calls to the Kremlin, which he likened to negotiating with Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot.
With characteristic restraint, Macron, 44, responded by calling Morawiecki, 53, an “extreme-right antisemite who bans LGBT people” and accused him of meddling in France’s domestic politics.
This time, though, there was a difference: the balance of power between the two has swung sharply in Poland’s favour.

BRUSSELS, May 5 (Reuters) - European Union countries are "almost there" in agreeing the bloc's proposed new package of sanctions against Russia, including an oil embargo, the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Thursday.
"I hope that they will get an agreement. They are almost there. And we need this agreement because we have to push still more our economic and financial pressure on Russia," Borrell told an event in Italy.

As efforts to control books continue in Tennessee, a library in Nashville is pushing back with a bold new campaign: A card that says "I read banned books."
The Nashville Public Library is issuing 5,000 of the limited-edition cards — printed in bright yellow — to readers in Davidson County for close to a month.
The clampdown on books in the state follows an "unprecedented" year for book bans in 2021, according to a report from the American Librarian Association. Gov. Bill Lee recently signed a law that required school libraries in Tennessee to screen materials for age-appropriate content, Chalkbeat reported. Another bill, which passed the Tennessee House, would criminally penalize school librarians if they fail to remove books the school board deems "obscene," according to The Associated Press.
This year, Maus — Art Spiegelman's graphic novel about the Holocaust — was removed from the curriculum in McMinn County, northeast of Chattanooga. In Williamson County, south of Nashville, the school board voted in February to remove Sharon Creech's Walk Too Moons, about a teenage girl coping with the loss of her mother.
"This campaign is our way of bringing our community together in our shared Freedom to Read, which is essential to sustaining our democracy," Nashville Public Library director Kent Oliver said in a press release.

British Columbia’s Opposition Liberal leader says he’ll target the New Democrat government on crime, affordability and health care when he takes his seat in the legislature later this month.
Kevin Falcon, who won a byelection in the Vancouver-Quilchena riding over the weekend after being elected to head the B.C. Liberals earlier this year, says the issues are all weak spots for Premier John Horgan’s government.
Crime in urban centres, doctor shortages, increasing medical wait times and rising costs will all be on Falcon’s agenda, he told a press conference on Wednesday.
He says he will tell the government that it is “utterly failing” and all these problems have become worse since the NDP was elected in 2017.
Falcon says people in B.C. are feeling unsafe because repeat criminals are being released without charges, only to reoffend.
“You see it in Vancouver with almost 120 random acts of stranger attacks on individuals every month,” said Falcon. “You see that in the community of Surrey where you’ve got violent assaults up, business break-ins are up. You see it with property crime increasing, and that is a really big concern.”
The B.C. Liberals have already been targeting Attorney General David Eby in the legislature, questioning him about repeat offenders and accusing him of supporting a soft-on-crime policy.
“This is what David Eby and the NDP have created in our communities,” said Falcon. “I can tell you this is very bad.”
Eby and Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth have scheduled a news conference Thursday to announce new plans to keep communities safe.
The attorney general said earlier this week the plan was the result of meetings with concerned municipal leaders about repeat offenders.
B.C.’s Urban Mayors’ Caucus wrote to Eby last month, saying communities are facing critical issues connected to repeat offenders.
The mayors said police data shows “most offences” are being committed by a small number of highly active and prolific criminals.
The caucus is made up of the mayors of 13 communities: Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, New Westminster, Prince George, Richmond, Saanich, Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria.
Falcon said health care was also a major concern in a province where one in five people did not have a family doctor and wait times at hospital emergency wards and walk-in clinics were hours long.
“Everything in the health-care system is getting worse,” said Falcon. “They’ve got to wear that.”
But Health Minister Adrian Dix said B.C. had made great progress in recent months to reduce a surgery backlog that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, and last year’s flood and fire events.
He told a news conference on Wednesday that by the end of March, 99.8 per cent of patients whose surgeries were postponed during the first COVID-19 wave, and who still wanted treatment, had had their procedures.
Dix said more than 52,000 urgent scheduled surgeries were completed last year, while another 72,549 unscheduled procedures were performed, because the government had increased operating room hours.
On affordability, Falcon said B.C. residents were trying to make ends meet in a province where fuel and housing costs were among the highest in North America, he said.
“It is a real challenge British Columbians are facing right now, and the unaffordable NDP is costing British Columbians too much,” Falcon said.

New Delhi, May 4
The Indian duo of T Madhavan and Muna Nayak finished fourth and sixth, respectively, in the men’s 61kg category at the IWF Junior World Weightlifting Championships in Heraklion, Greece.
The 18-year-old Madhavan aggregated 263kg (118kg+145kg) to finish fourth, missing the podium by five kgs on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Muna (19) achieved a total weight of 258kg (113kg+145kg) to end sixth in the 10-lifter field. Hhe failed to lift 150kg in his final clean and jerk attempt, but had the Odisha lifter succeeded, he would have won the silver medal in the section.
The gold medal went to USA’s Hampton Morris for a total effort of 276kg (116kg+160kg). He smashed the clean and jerk junior men’s world record when he lifted the 160kg barbell in his third attempt. The earlier mark of 159kg was in North Korea’s Kim Chung Guk’s name.
In the women’s events, Shrabani Das finished seventh with an aggregate of 181kg (78kg+103kg) in the 55kg weight division.
The West Bengal lifter failed in her second snatch attempt of 78kg but managed to pull off the other five lifts cleanly. India has won three medals in the ongoing event, including a gold, silver and bronze each.
On Monday, Harshada Garud (women’s 45kg) became the first Indian to win a gold medal in the event.
India had sent an eight-member contingent for the tournament. Only the event of Maibam Martina Devi, who competes in the +87kg, is left.

Vietnam vet says VA employee attacked him inside metro clinic
ATLANTA — An elderly veteran says he was attacked and beaten at an Atlanta Department of Veterans Affairs clinic.
The attacker was a VA employee.
The victim spent three days in the hospital because of a head injury. The VA is refusing to provide even basic information on the attack.
Sources within the VA tell Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray that the brutal attack was all captured on surveillance video at the Ft. McPherson VA clinic on April 28.
The attacker worked in the advocacy department. His job is to advocate within the VA on behalf of veterans.
“He said, ‘Man, I’ll go upside your head,’ and I told him, ‘No you won’t.’ And that’s all I remember,” said Philip Webb, 73.
When the Vietnam veteran regained consciousness, police and paramedics were there.
“I was trying to figure out why did he hit me. I’m still trying to figure out why did he hit me,” Webb told Gray.
Webb was rushed by ambulance to Atlanta Medical Center. He remained hospitalized there for three days because of fears of a brain bleed.
He went to the advocacy office because he needed a VA consultation for his hernia.
Webb said while waiting to speak with someone, he knocked on an office door to tell the VA employee he was going to the restroom. That is when he said the man charged out of the office and seconds later hit him in the head.
“All this happened in a short time. I didn’t even get a chance to tell him I was going to the bathroom because he came out angry,” Webb said.
It was Department of Veterans Affairs police who responded.
For five days, Channel 2 Action News repeatedly asked for an incident or police report on the attack. The VA refuses to provide it.
Sources told Gray that an arrest was made, but the VA refuses to confirm that or share any information about the employee.
Web said VA police told him they made an arrest after watching the surveillance video of the attack.
“He just told me he going to jail. That’s what he said,” Webb said.
The only information VA leadership would provide us is this statement:
“The Atlanta VA health care system takes these accusations very seriously and has zero tolerance for any behavior contrary to our core values. Our leadership team is fully cooperating with law enforcement. Because these allegations are still under review and investigation, we cannot comment further on this matter.”
“He could have killed me because he hit me close to my temple. I know it’s hard for you to understand what happened because I’m trying to figure out myself,” Webb said.
The Atlanta VA said to get information on the attack and arrest we must wait on a Freedom of Information Act request. Those take a minimum of several weeks and more often they take months, or even years.
The attorney for Channel 2 Action News is now involved in our effort to get the VA to provide this public safety information.
Veteran says Atlanta VA left stitches in her eye for 5 years, others also report eye problems These were people who had normal vision complications that come with aging, who after treatments here at the VA, are now facing permanent vision loss.

Ellie Warner is believed to be concerned over "what the future might hold" following her boyfriend Nat's horror brain injury.
The Gogglebox star, 31, is currently receiving help and support from brain injury charity Headway, which helps survivors and their families.
While Ellie is yet to speak about Nat's injuries - which he sustained on March 18 following an accident - she broke her silence on social media to ask for donations to the charity in lieu of gifts for her birthday.
Nat had initially been placed on life support after the crash and was believed to be in critical condition.
A family member later said that he had suffered two collapsed lungs and a broken neck.
Deputy Chief Executive of Headway, Luke Griggs, told The Sun : "The thoughts of everyone at Headway are with Nat and Ellie, as well as their family and friends.
“We understand the pain and anguish of sitting by the hospital bedside of a loved one following a brain injury. Often the concern around their current condition is compounded by uncertainty over what the future may hold."
He added that they were "extremely grateful" that Ellie was supporting the charity and that the "immediate aftermath of a brain injury can be daunting".
On Wednesday evening, Ellie wrote on her Facebook page: "For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Headway - the brain injury association. I've chosen this charity because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope that you'll consider contributing as a way of celebrating with me.
"Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Headway - the brain injury association below.
"Headway's mission is to promote the understanding of all aspects of brain injury and to provide vital information, support and services to people with a brain injury, their families and carers."
She has already raised £1,315 which far exceeded the £150 target she set up and also posted a link to the charity.
It is believed that Ellie, who appears on the TV-watching programme alongside sister Izzi, will continue to be paid her £1,500 show fee. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/gogglebox-star-ellie-warner-uncertain-26886179 | 2022-05-05T18:34:33Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/gogglebox-star-ellie-warner-uncertain-26886179 | true | 2 |
On the Market in Palm Beach: Updated condo has a ‘feeling of indoor-outdoor living‘
Priced at $3.275 million on Everglade Avenue, Unit 205 at the French Villas of Palm Beach has a 28-foot-long terrace among its features.
When John McDermott and Victoria McManus, a married couple with ties to Massachusetts, shopped for their first home on the island in 2017, they settled on Unit 205 at the French Villas of Palm Beach condominium at 201 Everglade Ave.
“I own the Centre Street Realty in Nantucket and put my (real estate) license here with Corcoran (Group),” McDermott explains. “We go back and forth, and have many friends who go back and forth, as well. We are all members of The Beach Club, too, so we are entrenched in the Palm Beach community.”
When they first visited Palm Beach, they stayed at a friend’s guest house on Chilean Avenue in the heart of Midtown.
And that stay, oddly enough, led them to appreciate the French Villas’ location across town, about a quarter-mile north of Royal Poinciana Way on the corner of North County Road.
“It’s in town but not as crowded as the area around Worth Avenue,” McDermott says. "Yet we are within walking distance to restaurants like PB Catch and the (Publix) supermarket — and one block to the beach and one block to Lake Trail.”
In addition to the location, the French Villas seemed “more reminiscent of a townhouse,” McDermott says. “Our unit has the convenience of a private home without the hassles of a big apartment building. We just park our car and walk in.”
On the Market:Priced at $19.9 million, house near Mar-a-Lago has ‘a very traditional Palm Beach feeling’
Adding to their apartment’s appeal was the fact it had previously been updated by an interior designer.
“We repainted and made some improvements, but it already had nice features,” McDermott says.
Palm Beach became their primary residence. But these days, McDermott is yearning to own a boat, so he and his wife are scouting areas near North Palm Beach for a waterfront property with a dock.
Acting as owner/agent, he has listed the couple's two-bedroom, two-bath condominium — with 1,560 square feet of living space, inside and out — through Corcoran for $3.275 million. The furniture, meanwhile, is available through separate negotiations.
Built in 1968, the development comprises a pair of two-story buildings with three apartments on each floor. The apartment McDermott and McManus are selling occupies the middle position on the second floor of its building.
On the Market:Seller of lanai apartment loves its ‘gorgeous’ setting in Palm Beach
Immediately north of the foyer is the main living space, which includes the living room and a dining area open to the kitchen. The main bedroom suite and the guest suite, which the McDermott and McManus have used as an office, lie to the east. The washer and dryer are tucked into the laundry closet, and walk-in closets in the bedrooms feature custom-fitted fixtures.
Other details include built-in bookshelves in the living room, travertine-marble floors throughout and bathrooms finished in Jerusalem limestone. The guest bathroom has a whirlpool tub with an overhead shower, while the main bathroom has a walk-in shower.
The kitchen is fitted with wood cabinetry and has been updated with high-end appliances. The counters and backsplash are made of Caesarstone.
“One of the counters accommodates stools, so it’s sort of an eat-in kitchen. If you want to cook and have a conversation, you can do that too,” McDermott says.
French doors from all rooms open to the 28-foot-long terrace, which overlooks a garden area.
“You have that feeling of indoor-outdoor living, because the terrace is so spacious,” he says. “You can leave the French doors open and enjoy the terrace.”
The couple recently added impact-resistant sliding-glass doors to the terrace, although they have retained the French doors they loved. And they made another improvement.
“The railing on the terrace hadn’t been updated in years,” McDermott says. “We had it sanded and repainted.”
The development is pet friendly, and the pool deck was recently redone. The unit comes with covered parking for one car, and there is additional parking for guests. There’s also a bike rack as well as bike storage. The complex also has private beach access via a gate-access code.
While McDermott looks forward to exploring the waterways with a new boat, there’s a lot to be missed. “We have a little dog, and he likes his doggie friends. The heated pool is nice, and our neighbors are nice. I also like the short drive to the Beach Club. We are within walking distance to everything, and I do like to walk — but having a boat will make up for it,” he says. | https://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/story/business/real-estate/2022/05/05/palm-beach-condo-feeling-indoor-outdoor-living-real-estate-homes-sale/9619258002/ | 2022-05-05T18:36:14Z | https://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/story/business/real-estate/2022/05/05/palm-beach-condo-feeling-indoor-outdoor-living-real-estate-homes-sale/9619258002/ | false | 1 |
Farmington — The Wethersfield Eagles traveled to Farmington, on May 2, and competed in every set, but ultimately fell to the River Hawks, 3-0.
Farmington coach Juliette Givens has her 7-4 team poised to enter the postseason strong, but there are a few tweaks it can make.
“We’re clicking. I still have people out there who are on the bench, but who are playing well and starting to know their roles,” she said. “Everybody knows where they’re supposed to be.”
Loaded with seniors (13 on the roster), the River Hawks will be relying on their leadership to keep their mental focus and keep the momentum going in matches.
“When we’re up, we need to stay up, instead of letting other teams get a run on us and get back in,” she said. “We’re giving them hope. Sometimes we get too relaxed and let teams do that. But, we’re working on that and hope to have it together before the tournament.”
Wethersfield (2-8) coach Deb O’Brien said her team, a little younger of a mix, works hard and is continuously improving. In somewhat of a rebuilding year, the team is getting used to a new setter and only a couple of returning players from last year.
“We need more consistency,” she said. “That’s been our deal. We get a couple balls going and we get on a roll, then we lose a couple points and we end up on our heels. That’s what it’s been this season. We need to get over that little bit of a hump.”
A senior starter was absent at Farmington, but the team was still in each match.
“We need to mix up the plays a little bit, and serving consistency is one thing we’re working on a lot,” O’Brien said. “We’re having a little trouble with that. We get on a roll, then get the ball back and serve out. That takes away the momentum.”

Genome study offers hope for diminutive endangered porpoise
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The most comprehensive genetic assessment to date of the vaquita, the world's rarest marine mammal, is offering a glimmer of hope that this small tropical porpoise native to Mexico's Gulf of California may avoid extinction despite its population dwindling to about 10.
Researchers said on Thursday genome data from 20 vaquitas showed that while the species possesses low genetic diversity - differences in the DNA among the various individuals - the number of potentially harmful mutations that could endanger its survival through inbreeding was quite low.
The vaquita, first described by scientists in 1958 and now deemed critically endangered, is the smallest cetacean, the group including whales, dolphins and porpoises, reaching about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and 120 pounds (54 kg). Its torpedo-shaped body is gray on the top and white on the underside with a dark ring around the eyes.
Computational simulations performed by the researchers to predict extinction risk showed that vaquitas, whose population has fallen more than 99% since the outset of the 20th century due to human activities, have a high chance of rebounding if fishing gillnets are completely eliminated from their habitat. Gillnets, large curtains of netting that hang in the water, are used to catch fish and shrimp but have killed many vaquitas that get entangled and drown.
"Our key findings are that the vaquita is not doomed to extinction by genetics, as some have begun to assume," said UCLA ecology and evolutionary biology doctoral student Christopher Kyriazis, co-lead author of the study published in the journal Science http://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm1742. "These findings are important because they provide hope for a species that is at the brink of extinction, one that many are now giving up on."
A particular threat is gillnet poaching of an endangered fish called the totoaba. Totoaba swim bladders, purported to be a fertility enhancer, are prized in China.
"Dried totoaba swim bladders are traded on the black market in China for traditional medicinal purposes, and fetch a higher price than cocaine," said study co-author Phillip Morin, a research geneticist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Southwest Fisheries Science Center.
Vaquitas, still actively reproducing despite their small numbers, inhabit the northern Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez, between mainland Mexico and the Baja peninsula.
"Gillnet fishing in the vaquita's habitat has been banned, but the ban has not been enforced and vaquitas continue to perish in nets," said study co-lead author Jacqueline Robinson, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, San Francisco's Institute for Human Genetics.
The first population estimate, conducted in 1997, found there were approximately 570 vaquitas. The population has since declined by up to about 50% annually.
The researchers gauged the genetic health of the species, which diverged evolutionarily from its closest relatives about 2.5 million years ago, by examining samples from 20 individuals obtained between 1985 and 2017, mostly archived from vaquitas that had died. One worry with such a small population is that inevitable mating among closely related individuals could increase deleterious mutations harmful to species survival.
The genome data indicated that the vaquita population already was relatively small - about 5,000 individuals - for hundreds of thousands of years before the crash caused by human activities, making low genetic diversity a natural feature of the species.
It also showed there has been relatively little inbreeding among vaquitas and very few harmful recessive mutations that may lead to congenital deformities when inbreeding that could imperil species survival - lower that 11 other cetacean species assessed, including the blue whale.
One cetacean species already appears to have been driven to extinction by humans in recent decades: the baiji, or Chinese river dolphin.
"Because of its shy nature, there is very little known about the vaquita," Robinson said. "The species is in danger of going extinct before we will even fully know what we are losing, and there is no replacing it once it's gone."

Mamata, Shah cross swords over respective track records, a year after epic electoral clash
- Country:
- India
A year after Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress steamrolled BJP to win polls to the West Bengal assembly, the TMC Supremo and BJP leader and Home Minister Amit Shah crossed swords on Thursday over virtually the same issues which had figured in their election campaigns last year.
While Shah claimed the state was suffering from ''cut-money culture, political violence and rampant corruption,'' Banerjee lashed back accusing the BJP leader who along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi had led the BJP campaign in last year’s polls, of “spreading lies” about Bengal while turning a “blind eye to communal violence and attacks on women in BJP-ruled states.” Reminiscent of the high pitched electoral battle, Banerjee and Shah also locked horns over the issue of implementation of CAA, with the latter claiming it will be implemented once the COVID wave is over, and the TMC Supremo claiming the legislation would never see the light of the day and that the BJP leader was misleading the masses.
The West Bengal chief minister claimed BJP is insulting citizens of the country by raising the issue of CAA, and said everyone who is a voter is automatically a citizen of the country.
Attacking the BJP, she said the party should ''stop using CAA to fool the masses'' and stressed that she believed, ''Everyone having voting rights is a citizen of the country. How could they (refugees who are Indian citizens) cast their franchise otherwise?” Shah on the other hand at a rally in Siliguri claimed ''Mamata `didi’ (elder sister) only wants infiltration to continue and is against giving citizenship to refugees who have come to Bengal. The CAA was a reality, is, and will be a reality.'' Analysts believe that the CAA statement was made with an eye on the Matua community, members of whom are believed to have voted BJP on the back of the promise of citizenship.
However, with Assam and other northeastern states being dead against the CAA, analysts believe the party would hesitate before implementing the law. The Citizenship Amendment Act promises citizenship to minorities -Hindus, Sikhs, Jews etc. - who have come from neighbouring countries between March 24, 1971 and December 31, 2014.
TMC leaders including from the Matua community have held that there are no illegal migrants in West Bengal and the Matuas and others who have come here as refugees are legal citizens.
Under Indian law anyone who crossed over as a refugee from East Pakistan till March 24, 1971, days before Bangladesh was declared independent, is considered a citizen of India.
Shah, addressing a public rally in north Bengal’s Siliguri town, vowed that the saffron camp would not rest till the ''tyrannical TMC rule'' was uprooted from Bengal.
''There has been no let up in political violence, atrocities on BJP workers, corruption and cut-money culture (extortion) in the state.
''We had hoped that Mamata Banerjee would rectify herself after being voted to power for the third time. We waited for an entire year, but she didn't change. We will not rest till we uproot the tyrannical rule of the TMC. The BJP's fight will continue,'' he said.
Banerjee, hit back stating her government takes strict action against perpetrators of illegal activities regardless of their political affiliation, unlike Uttar Pradesh. ''He (Amit Shah) should focus on Uttar Pradesh’s deteriorating law and order situation. He should focus on why journalists are being thrashed in Madhya Pradesh,'' Banerjee said.
The Centre is dispatching teams of NHRC and others to West Bengal following various incidents, but not to violence-affected Jahangirpuri in Delhi and UP where women are being attacked, Banerjee claimed.
“A tortured woman who has been trying to lodge a complaint has again been tormented in Uttar Pradesh. In Bengal, nobody dares to do something like this. Here, we take strict action against those involved in illegal activities without looking at the political colour,'' she said “The job of the BJP is to divide people. Mr Shah only wants to cause divisions between Bengali and Hindi speaking communities, between Hindus and Muslims. Please don't play with fire'' the chief minister told reporters after chairing a party meeting here.
Reacting to Shah’s statement at a BSF programme that it is difficult to stop infiltration and smuggling without the support of the local administration, Banerjee said the Union home minister should not ask the border guards to overrule the state authorities.
“Your duty is to stop smuggling and infiltration. Your duty is to guard the borders,” she said adding that she has great respect for the BSF personnel.
As the war of words between the two leaders which started last year deepened, news emerged that Shah would be visiting Indian cricketing legend Sorav Ganguly, a man who it was once rumoured BJP wanted to snare for a leadership role in the party’s Bengal unit which has been witnessing severe in-fighting.
Banerjee quickly retorted, stating ''what is the harm? He (Shah) loves rosogolla (a popular Bengali sweetmeat) and I would urge Sourav to keep a large stock of Rosogollas.'' PTI PNT/SUS/SCH JRC JRC

British Columbia’s Opposition Liberal leader says he’ll target the New Democrat government on crime, affordability and health care when he takes his seat in the legislature later this month.
Kevin Falcon, who won a byelection in the Vancouver-Quilchena riding over the weekend after being elected to head the B.C. Liberals earlier this year, says the issues are all weak spots for Premier John Horgan’s government.
Crime in urban centres, doctor shortages, increasing medical wait times and rising costs will all be on Falcon’s agenda, he told a press conference on Wednesday.
He says he will tell the government that it is “utterly failing” and all these problems have become worse since the NDP was elected in 2017.
Falcon says people in B.C. are feeling unsafe because repeat criminals are being released without charges, only to reoffend.
“You see it in Vancouver with almost 120 random acts of stranger attacks on individuals every month,” said Falcon. “You see that in the community of Surrey where you’ve got violent assaults up, business break-ins are up. You see it with property crime increasing, and that is a really big concern.”
The B.C. Liberals have already been targeting Attorney General David Eby in the legislature, questioning him about repeat offenders and accusing him of supporting a soft-on-crime policy.
“This is what David Eby and the NDP have created in our communities,” said Falcon. “I can tell you this is very bad.”
Eby and Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth have scheduled a news conference Thursday to announce new plans to keep communities safe.
The attorney general said earlier this week the plan was the result of meetings with concerned municipal leaders about repeat offenders.
B.C.’s Urban Mayors’ Caucus wrote to Eby last month, saying communities are facing critical issues connected to repeat offenders.
The mayors said police data shows “most offences” are being committed by a small number of highly active and prolific criminals.
The caucus is made up of the mayors of 13 communities: Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, New Westminster, Prince George, Richmond, Saanich, Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria.
Falcon said health care was also a major concern in a province where one in five people did not have a family doctor and wait times at hospital emergency wards and walk-in clinics were hours long.
“Everything in the health-care system is getting worse,” said Falcon. “They’ve got to wear that.”
But Health Minister Adrian Dix said B.C. had made great progress in recent months to reduce a surgery backlog that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, and last year’s flood and fire events.
He told a news conference on Wednesday that by the end of March, 99.8 per cent of patients whose surgeries were postponed during the first COVID-19 wave, and who still wanted treatment, had had their procedures.
Dix said more than 52,000 urgent scheduled surgeries were completed last year, while another 72,549 unscheduled procedures were performed, because the government had increased operating room hours.
On affordability, Falcon said B.C. residents were trying to make ends meet in a province where fuel and housing costs were among the highest in North America, he said.
“It is a real challenge British Columbians are facing right now, and the unaffordable NDP is costing British Columbians too much,” Falcon said.

After a leaked Supreme Court opinion grabbed the nation's attention, the focus now turns to individual states that could soon have complete control of abortion rights for its residents with little to no federal oversight.
Before Roe v. Wade became the law of the land in 1973, 30 states outlawed abortion. Now, at least 20 states are poised to ban the practice if Roe is overturned.
States like Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas and several others have trigger laws that immediately institute an abortion ban if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Other states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona have pre-Roe abortion bans still on the books that could potentially go into effect without action from local lawmakers.
Jill Adams, the CEO of Lawyering for Reproductive Rights, told Newsy even now, with Roe still intact, some prosecutors and law enforcement have criminalized abortion.
"We have seen investigations, arrests, even prosecutions in the majority of states. Overzealous prosecutors are treating the criminal code like a grab bag," Adams said.
She says more often than not, appeal judges throw these cases out but by then damage has been done.
"The person's mugshot may have been strewn throughout the media, they may be ostracized in their communities, they may lose their job, they may lose their kids, they may spend years locked behind bars, all for taking care of themselves and exercising their human right," Adams continued.
Meanwhile, many deep blue states across the country are pushing the opposite direction, codifying Roe in state law.
"No matter what atrocious opinion the Supreme Court officially rolls out this summer in regards to Roe v. Wade, abortion will always be safe and legal here in Illinois," Gov. J.B. Pritzker said.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tweeted: "For anyone who needs access to care, our state will welcome you with open arms. Abortion will always be safe & accessible in New York."
Followed by neighboring Gov. Phil Murphy adding that "access to reproductive health care remains available to anyone who needs it in New Jersey."
Back in April, Colorado codified into law access to abortions statewide.
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, the Guttmacher Institute says the average American would have to travel about 125 miles to reach the closest abortion provider. The current average distance is 25 miles.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs wasted nearly $2 million dollars when most of the smartphones bought during the pandemic for homeless veterans went unused, according to an inspector general’s report.
The report, released Wednesday, found that the Veterans Health Administration spent nearly $7 million to purchase 10,000 phones with unlimited prepaid calling plans but that 85% of the phones gathered dust. As a result, it lost $1.8 million in wasted data plan costs. The inspector general also found that $571,000 was wasted on data plans due to poor oversight of its purchase of nearly 81,000 iPads.
The smartphones and iPads were purchased as part of the efforts to increase homeless veterans’ access to telehealth, a program that saw video visits increase from about 2,500 in February 2020 to 38,000 in September 2020. The veterans were enrolled in a Department of Housing and Urban Development VA Supportive housing program.
RELATED
The inspector general concluded that Veterans Health Administration officials, who were part of the Connected Care program, made a good faith effort to help veterans get smartphones. But they found there was a “lack of information for officials to be able to determine the quantity needed for the targeted veteran population.”
The inspector general recommended improvements in the storage of smartphones and tablets.
It called for the VA to “establish a realistic goal for days in storage along with a process for closely monitoring days in storage for each data plan provider and taking corrective actions when the goal is not being met.” It also called for a cost-benefit analysis, in coordination with contractors, to create a process that starts the data plan charges only after the device has been issued to a veteran.
In the case of the iPads, Connected Care officials purchased 80,930 with prepaid data plans for around $63 million. But these iPads remained in storage on average for 17 days, the inspector general found, which ended up costing the VA more than $571,000 in wasted data plans.
“Officials could reduce wasted data plan costs by establishing a realistic goal for days in storage, closely monitoring days in storage for devices with each type of data plan, and then taking corrective actions when necessary,” the report said.
The VA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But in the report, the VA’s undersecretary for health concurred with the recommendations.
The agency said it plans to work with its Denver Logistics Center to analyze inventory, tablet use and shipments over the past year. It then will propose guidelines for how long a device should be in storage, a system to monitor that and corrective actions when storage goals are not met. It also plans to consider a new process that either will launch data plans when devices are issued or consider other ways that data plan costs can be reduced.
The VA said the Connected Care program was also transferring excess loaner iPhones to the Veterans Health Administration Homeless Program Office, so that coordinators could provide an iPhone to any veteran lacking stable housing and needing a device. | https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2022/05/05/thousands-of-smartphones-purchased-by-va-went-unused/ | 2022-05-05T18:44:32Z | https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2022/05/05/thousands-of-smartphones-purchased-by-va-went-unused/ | false | 38 |
Pupils still required to wear face masks indoors: health department
Schoolchildren will still be required to wear face masks when they are indoors in class, the health department said on Thursday.
The department sought to clarify an “unfortunate and regrettable” error in a statement it issued on Wednesday saying that the requirement of wearing a face mask in indoor spaces did not apply to children at school.
“This is not part of the gazetted health regulations, and is therefore retracted to avoid any misunderstanding of the regulations.
“Therefore, children, like other people, are expected to continue complying with the provisions of regulation 16A on face masks in the classrooms and general indoor gatherings, unlike outdoors in playgrounds and sports fields,” the department said.
The department said face masks are an effective non-pharmaceutical intervention against the spread of the Covid-19 virus, and it was more relevant now as the number of Covid-19 positive cases is rising once again.
The department said it has been receiving a lot of feedback from the public since announcing the extension of the public consultation process on Wednesday, together with the introduction of limited health regulations meant to manage the spread of Covid-19 and future notifiable medical conditions.
“We would like to urge all South Africans to continue to share their feedback because we believe it will assist the process as we move forward to finalise the regulations.”

Trawlers killing Pilbara’s bottlenose dolphins at ‘unsustainable rates’
Up to 60 of Western Australia’s protected bottlenose dolphins a year could be dying trapped in Pilbara trawling nets, which scientists fear will result in a 50 per cent population decline.
The study, published in the Conservation Biology journal by an international team of researchers, is focused on the Pilbara Fish Trawl Interim Managed Fishery, whose two trawlers supply up to 40 per cent of WA’s market, targeting emperor, snapper, trevally, cod and grouper.
The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment late last year found that “relatively large numbers of dolphins,” 11 to 17, were being killed within the fishery per year.
But the peer-reviewed study has suggested that independent fishery observers estimated at one point bycatch deaths were between 45 and 60 dolphins per year.
Modelling found that if just 50 dolphins were killed each year in trawl nets, the population would decline by 50 per cent over the next 100 years.
Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia and Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol Dr Simon Allen, who contributed to the research, said there had been some monitoring of bycatch since 2006, but no study into the number of dolphin deaths was ever carried out.
“We set out to model different levels of dolphin capture, including those reported in fishers’ logbooks and those reported by independent observers,” he said.
“Our results show clearly that even the lowest reported annual dolphin capture rates are not sustainable.”
He said turtles and sea snakes, as well as a variety of threatened sharks, rays and critically endangered sawfish were also unintentionally caught, including the critically endangered green sawfish.
The study’s lead author Dr Oliver Manlik, an assistant professor at the United Arab Emirates University, said the type of modelling used, a new approach incorporating chance events, showed current dolphin bycatch was unsustainable.
“This not only raises concerns for the dolphin population but highlights a problem with other assessments that don’t account for random events like heatwaves because these environmental fluctuations are becoming more frequent and intense with climate change,” he said.
WA Fishing Industry Council chief executive officer Darryl Hockey said concerns had been raised about the study using “old data sets” and being “loaded with assumptions.”
“This report is based on an untested model which utilises old datasets and is loaded with assumptions that could bias the outcomes,” he said.
“The data used is based on a point in time from around 15 years ago and doesn’t reflect the current situation, reporting requirements, fishing practices and a reduction in the number of commercial fishing vessels in the region.”
Hockey said there was a range of other factors impacting the dolphin population, particularly mining, and that commercial fishing had a “minimal impact” in comparison.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development aquatic resource management director Nathan Harrison said the level and type of interactions with protected species was reported in compulsory logbooks.
“Industry and researchers have invested heavily over the past 20 years... to reduce interactions with wildlife such as dolphins. This has included adopting bycatch reduction devices on fishing gear, modifying fishing practices and establishing an Industry Code of Practice,” he said.
“Since 2009, improvements in fishing practices focused on trawl net stability, such as eliminating sharp turns during trawling and hauling, and monitoring otter board performance using sensors, have reduced dolphin mortalities by a further 20 to 59 per cent.”

Cam Gigandet (Never Back Down, Burlesque) is on the wrong end of a heist betrayal in the new Collider exclusive trailer for the action film Blowback. It has all the hallmarks of a good Summer popcorn film with a bank heist gone wrong, intense shootouts, and one man's quest for revenge against those that turned on him. There's also a new poster that harkens back to classic action films like Face/Off with stars Gigandet and Randy Couture (The Expendables) side-by-side ahead of their on-screen confrontation. The film hits theaters alongside a digital and on-demand release on June 17.
The trailer sees Nick (Gigandet) getting a crew together and prepping for a big-time bank robbery which will set everyone involved up for life. The main target is a highly sought-after briefcase that he wants all to himself, while the rest of the bank's cash will go to the crew. Once they pull off the heist though, the ruse is revealed and Nick is gunned down with the double-crossers securing the briefcase for Jack (Couture). Nick manages to survive though and gives up the chase for the briefcase, so he can take down everyone that set him up. He even goes back to the man he stole the case from and offers to take it back for him. From there, he goes on a hunt, investigating, torturing, and shooting his way closer to the case, and to the man that tried to have him killed.
Blowback will really ratchet up the tension for Nick's hunt to find the briefcase, which contains an untold fortune in cryptocurrency. While he investigates, both the police and the mob will be closing in, meaning his life depends on retrieving that case. It'll be a three-sided race for the fortune as we'll swap between Nick, Jack, and the police in what's sure to be a tense thriller.
Alongside Couture and Gigandet, Blowback stars Michele Plaia (Sleepy Hallow) and Louis Mandylor (Rambo: Last Blood, The Offer). Tibor Takács will direct the film as one of his two upcoming action films starring Gigandet. His other film, Black Warrant, will see Gigandet star alongside Tom Berenger in a covert spy thriller centered around saving the world from a cyber attack that could take down the entire power grid. Matthew Eason, Robert Giardina, and Robert Edward Thomas wrote the screenplay for Blowback.
Blowback releases in theaters and on-demand on June 17. Check out the exclusive trailer and poster below to see a preview of this high-octane Summer action flick. | https://collider.com/blowback-trailer-heist-randy-couture-cam-gigandet/ | 2022-05-05T18:49:26Z | https://collider.com/blowback-trailer-heist-randy-couture-cam-gigandet/ | false | 1 |

Newly-launched ‘Chennai Bus’ to help commuters reach destinations hassle-free
“The app will help people reach railway stations and other major destinations in the city without a hassle. Initially, it is available only on android phones,” said Sivasankar.
Published: 05th May 2022 07:10 AM | Last Updated: 05th May 2022 02:33 PM | A+A A-
CHENNAI: Transport Minister S S Sivasankar on Wednesday launched a mobile app, “Chennai bus”, which will provide the location of Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) buses on a real-time basis. The app, developed by the MTC in collaboration with ‘Chalo’ — a transport technology company — helps monitor the movement of 3,233 MTC buses with location tracking devices. The buses run through 602 routes, and halt at 6,026 stoppages including destinations.
“The app will help people reach railway stations and other major destinations in the city without a hassle. Initially, it is available only on android phones,” said Sivasankar. The users can also send distress signals to their contacts or police through the app, in case of emergency, added Sivasankar.
While the ‘trip planner’ option in the app can be used to know route numbers of a bus to reach a destination, the location of any bus can be accessed with the search option ‘bus route’ on the home page, or the ‘stops’ option under the menu.
When a user clicks the ‘bus route’ option and enters the route number, all the operational buses will be displayed on the screen. “By clicking on the route option, a user will be able to view the location of buses running between two destinations, and will know the expected time of their arrival,” said an MTC official.
Besides, users can click on the ‘stops’ option under the main menu and enter the bus terminus or stop where they are going to board. “The buses which are parked at the stand/terminus, and those which are approaching them will be displayed,” added the official.
To a query on more school students travelling on footboards in mofussil and ordinary buses, Sivasankar said, “Doors will be installed in mofussil and ordinary buses, and the number of services will be increased.” Sivasankar assured that the number of night services after 9.30 pm will be increased on routes with high demand.
How to use the “Chennai bus”
- Install
- Log on
- Choose ‘Trip planner’ under the main menu
- Enter boarding point and destination point
- Find the route number of the bus

Current Mortgage Rates Climb to Highest Level Since 2009
After a brief rest last week, the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is up to 5.27%, according to Freddie Mac.
The 30-year rate has increased by more than 2 full percentage points since the start of the year. Weekly increases have been particularly large since the beginning of March, including a 0.31 percentage point jump in a single week. That pattern was briefly broken last week, when the average rate slid a modest 0.01 percentage points — the decrease first in over two months.
Today’s 0.17 percentage point increase brings the 30-year average to its highest point since 2009. It’s the fourth week in a row the rate has been at 5% or higher.
The average rates for both the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage and the 5/1 adjustable-rate loan also moved higher this week.
For its rate survey, Freddie Mac looks at rates offered for the week ending each Thursday. The average rate represents roughly the rate a borrower with strong credit and a 20% down payment can expect to see when applying for a mortgage right now. Borrowers with lower credit scores will generally be offered higher rates.
On the other hand, Money’s daily mortgage rate survey is based on the previous day’s lending activity and represents the average rate a borrower with a 700 credit score and 20% down should expect. Keep in mind that available rates vary by lender and change constantly.
If you are offered a rate that is higher than you expect, make sure to ask why and compare offers from multiple lenders. (Money’s list of the Best Mortgage Lenders is a good place to start.)
Mortgage interest rates for the week ending May 5, 2022
Mortgage rate trends
Mortgage rates moved higher this week —
- The current rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 5.27% with 0.9 points paid, up 0.17 percentage points from last week. Last year, the 30-year rate averaged 2.96%.
- The current rate for a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage is 4.52% with 0.8 points paid, an increase of 0.12 percentage points week-over-week. The 15-year rate averaged 2.30% this same week last year.
- The current rate on a 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage is 3.96% with 0.3 points paid, 0.18 percentage points higher than last week. The average rate was 2.70% a year ago.
Today’s mortgage rates and your monthly payment
The rate on your mortgage can make a big difference in how much home you can afford and the size of your monthly payments.
If you bought a $250,000 home and made a 20% down payment — $50,000 — you would end up with a starting loan balance of $200,000. On a $200,000 home loan with a fixed rate for 30 years:
- At 3% interest rate = $843 in monthly payments (not including taxes, insurance, or HOA fees)
- At 4% interest rate = $955 in monthly payments (not including taxes, insurance, or HOA fees)
- At 6% interest rate = $1,199 in monthly payments (not including taxes, insurance, or HOA fees)
- At 8% interest rate = $1,468 in monthly payments (not including taxes, insurance, or HOA fees)
You can experiment with a mortgage calculator to find out how much a lower rate or other changes could impact what you pay. A home affordability calculator can also give you an estimate of the maximum loan amount you may qualify for based on your income, debt-to-income ratio, mortgage interest rate and other variables.
Other factors that determine how much you’ll pay each month include:
Loan Term:
Choosing a 15-year mortgage instead of a 30-year mortgage will increase monthly mortgage payments but reduce the amount of interest paid throughout the life of the loan.
Fixed vs. ARM:
The mortgage rates on adjustable-rate mortgages reset regularly (after an introductory period) and monthly payments change with it. With a fixed-rate loan payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan.
Taxes, HOA Fees, Insurance:
Homeowners’ insurance premiums, property taxes and homeowners association fees are often bundled into your monthly mortgage payment. Check with your real estate agent to get an estimate of these costs.
Mortgage Insurance:
Mortgage insurance costs up to 1% of your home loan’s value per year. Borrowers with conventional loans can avoid private mortgage insurance by making a 20% down payment or reaching 20% home equity. FHA borrowers pay a mortgage insurance premium throughout the life of the loan.
Closing Costs:
Some buyers finance their new home’s closing costs into the loan, which adds to the debt and increases monthly payments. Closing costs generally run between 2% and 5% and the sale prices.
The latest information on current mortgage rates
Will current mortgage rates last?
Mortgage rates saw a big jump once again. Moving forward, mortgage rates are likely to continue to rise, but most experts believe at a more moderate pace.
As expected, the Federal Reserve announced a 0.50 percentage point increase to the federal funds rate yesterday. The increase is in line with market expectations and is the largest increase in decades. As a result, “The coming week will bring with it interest rate volatility,” according to Skylar Olsen, principal economist at fintech startup Tomo.
Markets, however, reacted positively to the news that the Fed is taking the possibility of a 0.75 percentage point rate increase off the table for now. This would have been an even more aggressive approach to fighting inflation.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury opened at 2.964% Thursday morning. The 30-year mortgage rate tends to be 1.8 percentage points higher than the 10-year Treasury.
How are mortgage rates impacting home sales?
The total number of mortgage applications increased by a little over 2% for the week ending April 29, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. It’s the first increase in applications in over seven weeks.
- Purchase applications were up 4% from the previous week and 11% lower than the same week last year.
- The number of refinancing was almost unchanged, decreasing by 0.2 percentage points from a week ago. However, applications were 71% lower year-over-year and now make up only 33% of all applications.
Current Mortgage Rates Guide
Should I lock in my mortgage rate today?
Locking in a rate as soon as you have an accepted offer on a house (and find a rate you’re comfortable with) can help guarantee a competitive rate and affordable monthly payments on your home mortgage. A rate lock means that your lender will guarantee you an agreed-upon rate for typically 45 to 60 days, regardless of what happens with average rates. Locking in a competitive rate can protect the borrower from rising interest rates before closing on the mortgage
It may be tempting to wait to see if interest rates will drop lower before getting a mortgage rate lock, but this may not be necessary. Ask your lender about “float-down” options, which allow you to snag a lower rate if the market changes during your lock period. These usually cost a few hundred dollars.
What are points on a mortgage?
Discount points are a way for borrowers to reduce the interest rate they will pay on a mortgage. By buying points, you’re basically prepaying some of the interest the bank charges on the loan. In return for prepaying, you get a lower interest rate which can lead to a lower monthly payment and savings on the overall cost of the loan over its full term.
A mortgage discount point normally costs 1% of your loan amount and could shave up to 0.25 percentage points off your interest rate. (So, with a $200,000 mortgage loan, a point would cost $2,000.) The exact reduction varies by lender. Always check with the lender to see how much of a reduction each point will make.
Discount points only pay off if you keep the home long enough. Selling the home or refinancing the mortgage before you break even would short circuit the discount point strategy.
In some cases, it makes more sense to put extra cash toward your down payment instead of discount points If a larger down payment could help you avoid paying PMI premiums, for example.
What is a good interest rate on a mortgage?
A good mortgage rate is one where you can comfortably afford the monthly payments and where the other loan details fit your needs. Consider details such as the loan type (i.e. whether the rate is fixed or adjustable), length of the loan, origination fees and other costs.
That said, today’s mortgage rates are near historic lows. Freddie Mac’s average rates show what a borrower with a 20% down payment and a strong credit score might be able to get if they were to speak to a lender this week. If you are making a smaller down payment, have a lower credit score or are taking out a non-conforming (or jumbo loan) mortgage, you may see a higher rate. Money’s daily mortgage rate data shows borrowers with 700 credit scores are finding rates around 3.6% right now.
What credit score do mortgage lenders use?
Most mortgage lenders use your FICO score — a credit score created by the Fair Isaac Corporation — to determine your loan eligibility.
Lenders will request a merged credit report that combines information from all three of the major credit reporting bureaus — Experian, Transunion and Equifax. This report will also contain your FICO score as reported by each credit agency.
Each credit bureau will have a different FICO score and your lender will typically use the middle score when evaluating your creditworthiness. If you are applying for a mortgage with a partner, the lender can base their decision on the average credit score between both borrowers.
Lenders may also use a more thorough residential mortgage credit report that includes more detailed information that won’t appear in your standard reports, such as employment history and current salary.
What is the difference between the interest rate and APR on a mortgage?
Borrowers often mix up interest rates and an annual percentage rate (APR). That’s understandable since both rates refer to how much you’ll pay for the loan. While similar in nature, the terms are not synonymous.
An interest rate is what a lender will charge on the principal amount being borrowed. Think of it as the basic cost of borrowing money for a home purchase.
An APR represents the total cost of borrowing the money and includes the interest rate plus any fees, associated with generating the loan. The APR will always be higher than the interest rate.
For example, a loan with a 3.1% interest rate and $2,100 worth of fees would have an APR of 3.169%.
When comparing rates from different lenders, look at both the APR and the interest rate. The APR will represent the true cost over the full term of the loan, but you’ll also need to consider what you’re able to pay upfront versus over time.
How are mortgage rates set?
Lenders use a number of factors to set rates each day. Every lender’s formula will be a little different but will factor in current federal funds rate (a short-term rate set by the Federal Reserve), competitor rates and even how much staff they have available to underwrite loans. Your individual qualifications will also impact the rate you are offered.
In general, rates track the yields on the 10-year Treasury note. Average mortgage rates are usually about 1.8 percentage points higher than the yield on the 10-year note.
Yields matter because lenders don’t keep the mortgage they originate on their books for long. Instead, in order to free up money to keep originating more loans, lenders sell their mortgages to entities like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. These mortgages are then packaged into what are called mortgage-backed securities and sold to investors. Investors will only buy if they can earn a bit more than they can on the government notes.
How do I get the best mortgage rate?
Shopping around for the best mortgage rate can mean a lower rate and big savings. On average, borrowers who get a rate quote from one additional lender save $1,500 over the life of the loan, according to Freddie Mac. That number goes up to $3,000 if you get five quotes.
The best mortgage lender for you will be the one that can give you the lowest rate and the terms you want. Your local bank or credit union is one place to look. Online lenders have expanded their market share over the past decade and promise to get you pre-approved within minutes.
Shop around to compare rates and terms, and make sure your lender has the type of mortgage you need. Not all lenders write FHA loans, USDA-backed mortgages or VA loans, for example. If you’re not sure about a lender’s credentials, ask for its NMLS number and search for online reviews.
Why is my mortgage rate higher than average?
Not all applicants will receive the very best rates when taking out a new mortgage or refinancing. Credit scores, loan term, interest rate types (fixed or adjustable), down payment size, home location and the loan size will all affect mortgage rates offered to individual home shoppers.
Rates also vary between mortgage lenders. It’s estimated that about half of all buyers only look at one lender, primarily because they tend to trust referrals from their real estate agent. Yet this means that they may miss out on a lower rate elsewhere.
Freddie Mac estimates that buyers who got offers from five different lenders averaged 0.17 percentage points lower on their interest rate than those who didn’t get multiple quotes. If you want to find the best rate and term for your loan, it makes sense to shop around first.
Should you refinance your mortgage when interest rates drop?
Determining whether it’s the right time to refinance your home loan or not involves a number of factors. Most experts agree you should consider a mortgage refinancing if your current mortgage rate exceeds today’s mortgage rates by 0.75 percentage points. Some say a refi can make sense if you can reduce your mortgage rate by as little as 0.5 percentage points (for example from 3.5% to 3%). It doesn’t make sense to refinance every time rates decline a little bit because mortgage fees would cut into your savings.
Many of the best mortgage refinance lenders can give you free rate quotes to help you decide whether the money you’d save in interest justifies the cost of a new loan. Try to get a quote with a soft credit check which won’t hurt your credit score.
You could increase interest savings by going with a shorter loan term such as a 15-year mortgage. Your payments will be higher, but you could save on interest charges over time, and you’d pay off your house sooner.
How much does the interest rate affect mortgage payments?
In general, the lower the interest rate the lower your monthly payments will be. For example:
- If you have a $300,000 fixed-rate 30-year mortgage at 4% interest, your monthly payment will be $1,432 (not including property taxes and insurance). You’ll pay a total of $215,608 in interest over the full loan term.
- The same-sized loan at 3% interest will have a monthly payment of $1,264. You will pay a total of $155,040 in interest — a savings of over $60,000.
You can use a mortgage calculator to determine how different mortgage rates and down payments will affect your monthly payment. Consider steps for improving your credit score in order to qualify for a better rate.

Text description provided by the architects. The project in question, is a renovation and expansion of the second floor of a 1950s building, in the interior of Minas Gerais, Brazil, with the aim of transforming an old residence into a bar and restaurant. The architecture was guided by the critical project intertextuality, a search for contemporary solutions and time-spatial arrangements that, at the same time, revere the past.
The consolidated urban context in which the project is inserted, guided not only the design strategies but also a sensitive look at an area of little interest in the city center.
The old properties were quite deteriorated, not only due to the wear and tear of time but mainly due to the misuse of the old tenants. The project sought to treat existing spaces and surfaces respectfully, and value construction and its original elements, exalting them to the limit.
With 210 m², the project is organized in a large interior hall, with a counter dedicated to cocktails in the center, whose shape plays with the idea of a freshly opened egg spreading towards the edges of the house, meeting a curious corridor, backyard, kitchen, bleachers and open-air tables.
The material palette is extensive, it creates soft and elegant contrasts throughout the ensemble. Apparent bricks painted in white, not regularized walls, preserved local paintings, and original wooden flooring, design the main hall.
The counter, the main element of the project, PVC pipes in blue, wood coated with fiberglass, enhance the soft and organic curves, and last but not least, metalwork completes the piece. The idea was an inversion of values, with the counter as the most desired area of the bar.
The space transition from the indoor to an outdoor area is done through the color palette and lighting, looking for a single objective: to provoke the senses. We look for the exact shade of the existing tile and apply it to all the walls and ceilings.
The backyard organizes a kitchen, washing area, laundry room, staff area, bathrooms, bleachers, and an open-air lounge.
The Gema bar was created with the aim of operating almost 24 hours a day. It's a restaurant, bar, and nightclub on weekends, where the DJs rock the house from inside the amoeboid counter. | https://www.archdaily.com/981257/gema-bar-no-arquitectura | 2022-05-05T19:01:11Z | https://www.archdaily.com/981257/gema-bar-no-arquitectura | true | 1 |
A$AP Rocky has finally released his single “D.M.B.” after teasing it for the better part of a year, but his more famous partner (and mother of his child) Rihanna takes the spotlight in the accompanying video. Watch it below.
The self-proclaimed “ghetto love tale” depicts the many aspects of the celebrity couple’s relationship, whether they’re in the Bronx hanging out on fire escapes, getting their hair done together, or competing in a game of dice.
And when it’s time to bail Rocky out of jail, Rihanna’s there every single time. Three minutes into the video, Rocky asks Rihanna “Marry me?” through his grill, to which she responds in kind with “I do.”
Co-produced by Rocky with Skepta, Shlohmo, Hector Delgado, and Kelvin Krash, the song features the Harlem rapper describing their relationship while taking a shot at Chris Brown. “I don’t beat my bitch, I need my bitch,” he raps. “She clean my crib, she feed my friends/ She keep my secret, she keep my fridge packed, my freezer lit.”
“D.M.B.” was first previewed in an ad for the online financial services company Klarna back in June 2021. Rocky and Rihanna were later spotted shooting the video in the Bronx that July. It’s expected to appear on Rocky’s long-awaited album All Smiles, which he has said could feature Morrissey.
Rocky has been ramping up his musical production of late, recently appearing on Nigo’s “Arya” and “Lost and Found Freestyle 2019.” Last month, he featured on Swedish House Mafia’s “Frankenstein.” He last released Testing in 2018.
In non-music news, Rocky was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport last month in connection to a November 2021 shooting.

…As OSIWA, NESG warn of ECOWAS debt crisis
…Commend FG’s debt data transparency
Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief
Faced with rising debts, Africa must look inwards, the Director-General (D-G) of the Debt Management Office (DMO), Ms. Patience Oniha, has advised.
She spoke at the launch of the report of a Debt Sustainability study commissioned by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) under the Debt Management Roundtable (DMR), in Abuja, this afternoon.
According to her, the stark realities confronting Sub-Saharan Africa were such that only a new focus on revenue generation from within, could save the region from a debt crisis.
She said, “The timing of the launch of the report could not have been more appropriate with the global debt levels already rising pre-COVID-19 and still growing since the COVID-19 0pandemic started in the year 2020.
“Concerns around debt sustainability have expectedly heightened. According to the Word Bank’s World Economic Outlook, ‘Globally, sovereign debt grew from 49. 1 per cent of GDP in 2014 to 57. 9 percent in 2019. And in Sub-Saharan Africa, from 35.1 per cent of GDP in 2014 to 55. 4 percent in 2019.’” The respective figures for 2021 were 66.7 percent and 60. 3 percent.
“The indications are that the trend will continue as the economic consequences of COVID-19 may linger for a longer period, coupled with the increased economic pressures in the form of rising inflation from higher food and energy prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine War.”
With the current situation, Ms. Oniha opined that most of the adversely affected nations would continue to borrow but that members of ECOWAS should seek the most credible alternative to borrowing , which she identified as expansion of the revenue base.
According to her, “Concerns about debt sustainability and the need for restructuring have been stronger for Sub-Saharan Africa, due to high debt service costs when compared to revenues.
“It is therefore, an absolute necessity for West African countries to place sharper focus on domestic resource mobilization. Nigeria is already on that path through the Strategic Revenue growth Initiative (SRGI) and the Finance Acts that have been enacted since 2019.”
The Report said that member nations of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) faced risks of debt crisis, unless urgent steps were taken by their various governments to address rising debts.
According to the report, “In ECOWAS, five major research issues emanated from the debt situation. To begin with, numerous ECOWAS countries benefitted from debt elimination during the debt relief tsunami of 2005- 2008.
“However, public debt has increased to the point where it is approaching crisis proportions just over a decade later. Debt sustainability needs corrective actions such as debt restructuring and the discovery of viable debt alternatives.”
The report which was presented by the Chairman of the OSIWA-NESG DMR, Dr. Taiwo Oyedele, indicated that the rising debt portfolio of the sub-region was directly linked to the sustained deficit fiscal positions of member nations.
“The overall fiscal environment in ECOWAS has remained in an uninterrupted deficit since 2009. The COVID-19 pandemic , which engendered a global disruption in the economy’s demand and supply side has consequently led to an unprecedented increase in fiscal deficit to a tune of 6.8 percent of the nominal GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
“The fiscal deficit of ECOWAS in 2020 expanded by 53 percent to $46.22 billion. Meanwhile, the fiscal deficit expanded by 17.6 per cent , 122.4 percent and 170 percent in Nigeria, Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire in order of the size of their economy, respectively.
“This makes Nigeria, the country with the largest fiscal deficit in the region in 2020, while Ghana recorded the largest increase in the budget deficit in the year.”
While fielding questions on Nigeria’s debt management, Dr. Oyedele commended the federal government for the public debt data transparency policy adopted by the Debt Management Office.
“He said, one policy of the federal government that is worth commending is the public debt data transparency. This is commendable. The federal government has also been very intentional with the debt mix- both external borrowing and domestic borrowing.”
The chairman urged that the federal government could do better with its project-tied borrowings as exemplified with the Second Niger Bridge and the Sukuk, which would ensure that borrowed funds are transparently utilized to engender economic growth. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/rising-debts-we-must-look-inwards-dmo-boss/ | 2022-05-05T19:10:16Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/rising-debts-we-must-look-inwards-dmo-boss/ | false | 1 |
Inmate Casey White, 38, and Lauderdale County Assistant Director of Corrections Vicky White, 56 -- who are not related -- should be considered dangerous, the U.S. Marshals Service warned.
Authorities said they believe Vicky White willingly participated in the escape from the Lauderdale County facility.
The pair "may be armed with an AR-15 rifle, handguns and a shotgun," the U.S. Marshals Service said.
At the time of his escape, Casey White was facing two counts of capital murder for the stabbing death of Connie Ridgeway, a crime he allegedly confessed to, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Ridgeway, an Alabama mother, was found dead in her living room on Oct. 23, 2015, in an apparent murder-for-hire, AL.com reported.

He could face the death penalty if convicted, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said.
"We really need to get Casey White behind bars again as soon as possible before someone else is hurt," Ridgeway's son, Austin Williams, told ABC News this week.
Casey White was previously convicted of a 2015 crime spree involving a home invasion, carjacking and a police chase, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
After a crime spree in Alabama, Casey White stole an SUV and drove to a rest stop in Giles County, Tennessee, where he allegedly tried to carjack a semi-truck, Giles County Sheriff Shane Hunter said. Casey White allegedly opened fire but no one was hit, Hunter said.
Casey White then tried to carjack a woman and fired shots into her car, the sheriff said. She was shot and survived, he said.
He then allegedly carjacked a man at gunpoint and led police on a chase, the sheriff said. Casey White fired at police and was later arrested, Hunter said.
Casey White was sentenced to 75 years for the 2015 crime spree, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
He has also been convicted of trying to kill an ex-girlfriend and kidnap her roommates, AL.com reported.
SEE ALSO: Escaped Alabama inmate, missing corrections officer had 'special relationship,' sheriff says
The U.S. Marshals warns that, after his arrest in 2015, Casey White "made threats against his ex-girlfriend and her sister," saying "if he ever got out, he would kill them."
Now that he's on the run, the U.S. Marshals said authorities have spoken to Casey White's "potential targets" and "have taken appropriate protective actions."
Casey White previously planned an escape from the Lauderdale County Detention Center in the fall of 2020, but officials thwarted the plot before he could attempt it, Singleton said. When officials got word of the plot, they found a homemade knife in his possession and learned that he was planning to take a hostage, the sheriff said.
Casey White was subsequently transferred to a state prison, where he remained until February 2022, when he returned to the Lauderdale County facility for court appearances related to Ridgeway's murder, the sheriff said.
Vicky White and Casey White disappeared on Friday morning, after Vicky White allegedly told her colleagues that she was taking Casey White to the Lauderdale County Courthouse for a "mental health evaluation," the sheriff said. He didn't have a court appearance scheduled, Singleton said.
Vicky White also allegedly told her colleagues that she was going to seek medical attention after dropping the inmate off at court because she wasn't feeling well, but Singleton said his office confirmed that no appointment was made.
Vicky White planned to retire; Friday -- the day of the escape -- was her last day, the sheriff said.
The pair may be driving a 2007 orange or copper Ford Edge with minor damage to the left back bumper, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

David Warner (92 not out) and Rovman Powell (67 not out) set the tone with an unbeaten 122-run partnership and Khaleel Ahmed followed it up with a 3/30 haul as Delhi Capitals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 21 runs in Match 50 of the IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium here on Thursday.
Warner and Powell propelled Delhi Capitals from 95/3 to 207/3 in 20 overs, batting in contrasting styles. Warner showed sublime touch and superb placement as he found gaps with the precision of a neurosurgeon to score 92 not out off 58 deliveries, hitting 12 fours and three sixes. Powell was all power as he hammered 67 not out off 35 deliveries, hitting three fours six sixes. They added 122 runs for the fourth wicket partnership off 66 balls as Delhi Capitals posted a huge score.
In reply, Nicholas Pooran struck a half-century and Aiden Markram blazed to a 25-ball 42 but their efforts went in vain against a big score as they ended with 186/8 in 20 overs.
Chasing a huge target of 208, Pooran struck 62 off 34 balls, 4×2, 6×6, while Markram scored a brisk cameo but in the end, their efforts were not enough as Sunrisers Hyderabad could manage only 188/8 in 20 overs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a poor start as they lost Abhishek Sharma (7) in the second over with the score of 8 runs as he struck a half-volley on his pads down the throat of the fielder at short fine-leg.
They were soon down to 37/3 with skipper Kane Williamson (4), who edged behind off Anrich Nortje, and Rahul Tripathy (22) wasted his start by picking out deep backward square with a short-arm jab off Mitchell Marsh.
Pooran and Markram came together to raise 60 runs for the fourth wicket, both hitting some aggressive shots as they resurrected the innings. But Markram was out while trying to hit another big one and was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Khaleel Ahmed as SRH fell to 97/4 in the 13th over.
Pooran tried to take the battle to Delhi Capitals as he completed his half-century off 29 balls. SRH continued to lose wickets at the other end as Shashank Singh (10) and Sean Abbott (7) departed, leading Pooran to continue waging the lone battle.
He was the seventh batsman to get out, caught by Powell off Shardul Thakur. miscuing a waist-high full toss and sending it straight to long-on, as the run rate continued to mount.
Khaleel Ahmed was the most successful Delhi Capitals bowler with 3/30 off four overs while Shardul Thakur ended with 2/44.
The win took Delhi Capitals to 10 points from 10 matches and maintained their hopes of making it to the playoffs as they trail Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore (both with 12 points) at fifth spot. SRH are at sixth spot with 10 points but an inferior net run rate.
Warner played like he had a few scores to settle against his former team that had unceremoniously dumped him after removing him as captain midway through the 2021 season. He played some brilliant shots and blasted 12 fours and three sixes in his 58-ball unbeaten 92.
He shared a 48-run partnership with skipper Rishabh Pant, who scored a 16-ball 26 — majority of those runs coming one over of Kartik Tyagi in which he scored three fours and one six before dragging the ball onto his stumps off the last delivery of that over.
Warner, however, continued to torment Sunrisers as he completed his half-century off 34 balls, with a four off Kartik Tyagi. He thrived on the bowling, chose the balls well, and found the gaps to score 12 boundaries. It was a superb display of controlled aggression.
He hammered Umran Malik for two successive fours and a superb six in the fourth over, the over costing Sunrisers 21 runs as the J&K bowler did not help his cause by bowling a couple of wides, one of which beat the keeper to the boundary. He smashed Aiden Markram for a six — the 400th for Warner in all T20 matches, planting his front foot down and launching the ball over long-on. He also struck Tyagi for fours off successive deliveries in the sixth over — the second one a brilliant off-drive on a delivery bowled full and outside off.
He also struck Tyagi for fours off successive deliveries in the sixth over — the second one a brilliant off-drive on a delivery bowled full and outside off.
While Warner was looking for gaps and placing his shots well, Powell was not bothered about such niceties. He dealt with power and power alone as he blazed to 67 off just 35 deliveries.
He struck Shreyas Gopal for a six in his second over and then hammered Abbott for sixes off successive balls in the 17th over. He blasted Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kartik Tyagi for a six each and then struck Umran Malik for three fours in a row after a six off the first delivery of the 20th over.
Malik was carted around by both Warner and Powell as he conceded 52 runs in his four overs while Shreyas Gopal was blasted for 37 off three. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the best Sunrisers bowler on Thursday as he finished with 1/25 off four overs.
Brief scores: Delhi Capitals 207/3 in 20 overs (David Warner 92 not out, Rishabh Pant 26, Rovman Powell 67 not out; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1/25) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 186/8 in 20 overs (Nicholas Pooran 62, Aiden Markram 42, Rahul Tripathi 22; Khaleel Ahmed 3/30, Shardul Thakur 2/44).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Soon after being elected to the U.S. Senate, Joe Biden was pulled aside by a Democratic colleague who wanted to know how he was going to vote on abortion.
Biden explained that while he was personally opposed to abortion and would resist federal funding for the procedure, he didn’t want to impose his view on others by overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
“That’s a tough position, kid,” said Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut. Then Ribicoff offered him some advice, Biden recalled years later in a memoir: “Pick a side. You’ll be much better off politically. Just pick a side.”
During five decades in elected office, Biden has tried to avoid picking a side on abortion whenever he could. Now that’s impossible as the Supreme Courtseems poised to strike down the constitutional right to abortion. A draft copy of the court’s majority opinion was published by Politico earlier this week, and a final decision is expected this summer.
As the Democratic president who happens to be serving when the Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda reaches its crescendo, Biden is being drafted into the kind of fight that he’s sidestepped for much of his career.
It’s not a natural role for him, despite his longtime defense of a woman’s right to choose whether to end her pregnancy. Like many Catholic Democrats, he’s expressed conflicting opinions on abortion, which his church regards as a sin but his political party views as a legal right.
Mini Timmaraju, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said Biden “understands there’s a difference between his personal view and what he would do in his personal life, and what he and his party stands for in terms of protecting freedoms for the American people.”
Although Biden called for protecting Roe v. Wade in his State of the Union speech in March, since becoming president he had never publicly uttered the word “abortion” until this week, when the draft court decision leaked. And he still prefers to frame the issue around privacy and people’s ability to make their own decisions free from government interference.
“This is about a lot more than abortion,” he said Wednesday at the White House. He often references other court decisions on same sex marriage or birth control. “What are the next things that are going to be attacked?”
It’s the kind of rhetoric that he deployed successfully during the 1987 confirmation hearings for Robert Bork, President Ronald Reagan’s nominee to the Supreme Court.
Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he focused his questioning on Griswold v. Connecticut, a 1965 decision that allowed married couples to buy birth control.
“If we tried to make this a referendum on abortion rights, for example, we’d lose,” he wrote in his 2007 memoir, “Promises to Keep.”
Biden’s handling of the issue was a sharp contrast with colleagues like Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who said in a speech that “Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions.”
“No one could have ever confused then-Sen. Biden with being a culture warrior,” said Jim Manley, a longtime Senate staff member who worked for Kennedy and Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Bork’s nomination was defeated, preventing a rightward shift on the Supreme Court that could have jeopardized Roe v. Wade.
But there was still lingering suspicion about Biden’s support for abortion rights. Victoria Nourse, a lawyer who worked for Biden in the Senate, said the distrust became an obstacle when he was working on the Violence Against Women Act, which passed in 1994 and increased protections against sexual assault and domestic abuse.
“The women’s groups wouldn’t come on board, because they thought he was weak on abortion,” she said.
The issue returned in 2019, when Biden was running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Biden faced criticism for his support of the Hyde Amendment, which banned federal funding for abortions, and he swiftly reversed courseon his longtime position.
Biden explained his shift by saying “circumstances have changed” because Republican-led states were enacting new abortion restrictions.
“I make no apologies for my last position,” he said. “I make no apologies for what I’m about to say.”
It was a change that mirrored a broader shift in American politics. Michele Swers, a professor of government at Georgetown, said it used to be more common to find anti-abortion Democrats and Republicans who support abortion rights.
Biden became a U.S. senator in January 1973, the same month the Roe v. Wade decision was issued, and he criticized the Supreme Court for going “too far.” When it comes to abortion, he told an interviewer, he was “about as liberal as your grandmother.”
However, activist groups at each end of the political spectrum have gained influence within the parties, Swers said, creating a clearer partisan split on the issue.
There’s little room for politicians who hold what Biden once described as “middle-of-the-road” views.
“If you want to move up in national politics, it is definitely harder,” Swers said. “I don’t think that someone who took the positions that he used to take could run for president now.”
During the presidential campaign, Biden also promised to support legislation that would codify Roe v. Wade in law. However, there’s little chance of that passing the Senate, despite the slim Democratic majority, leaving the White House with limited options to protect abortion rights.
Advocates and White House officials have spent months engaged in conversations about steps that could be taken if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Some ideas under consideration include highlighting the ability to obtain abortion pills through the mail, something that the Food and Drug Administration recently approved, or finding ways to help women travel to get abortions in states with more permissive laws.
“We want to see more, of course,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood. “We want to see all of the creative solutions in their arsenal right now, particularly at a moment where we’re in the greatest crisis.” | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/health-2/ap-health/once-conflicted-biden-embraces-role-as-abortion-defender/ | 2022-05-05T19:16:42Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/health-2/ap-health/once-conflicted-biden-embraces-role-as-abortion-defender/ | true | 29 |
Pakistan Rejects Report Of So-called Delimitation Commission For IIOJK
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published May 06, 2022 | 12:00 AM
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th May, 2022 ) :Pakistan on Thursday summoned the Indian Charge d'Affaires (Cd'A) to foreign ministry and handed over a demarche conveying the categorical rejection of the report of the so-called 'Delimitation Commission' for Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmuir (IIOJK).
The so-called commission was aimed at disenfranchising and disempowering the Muslim majority population of the IIOJK, the Foreign Office spokesperson said in a statement.
He said the Indian side was conveyed that this entire exercise was farcical and had already been rejected by the cross-section of political parties in IIOJK. Through this effort, India only wanted to lend 'legitimacy' to its illegal actions of August 5, 2019, he added.
It was emphasized that the ulterior motive of the Indian government was evident from the fact that, under the garb of so-called delimitation, the representation of Muslims in the re-designated Constituencies had been reduced to their disadvantage.
"This shattered the rationale pushed by the Indian Government that the 'delimitation effort' was aimed to 'empower' the local population.
However, in reality, the new electoral boundaries would further disempower, marginalize and divide the people of the occupied territory. It would only pave the way for installing yet another puppet regime backed by the BJP-RSS combine," it was conveyed.
It was underscored to the Indian Cd'A that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute was an internationally recognized dispute and a long-standing item on the agenda of the UN Security Council.
It was told that any illegal, unilateral and mischievous attempt by India to allow disproportionately higher electoral representation to the Hindu population to the detriment of the Muslim population, was a mockery of all norms of democracy, morality and India's obligations under the UN Security Council Resolutions and international law.
It was also stressed that the Indian Government must refrain from bringing about any illegal demographic changes in the occupied territory, stop forthwith its oppression in the IIOJK, and let the Kashmiri people determine their own future through a free and fair plebiscite under the UN auspices as enshrined in the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts, in ordering an investigation into an “egregious breach of trust” in the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion on abortion, tasked a relatively unknown court official to carry out what could be one of the most high-profile investigations in decades.
The marshal of the Supreme Court has now undertaken the investigation to try to identify the source of the leak — a nearly unprecedented breach of protocol that sent shock waves through the Supreme Court and Washington legal community.
“This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here,” Roberts said in ordering the investigation.
But many questions remain about how the investigation will be carried out and whether a federal crime was committed. Separately, there are questions about what powers the Marshal may use to find the person who leaked the documents.
“To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed,” Roberts said. “The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.”
Despite the Biden administration’s curtailing the government’s ability to seize records from reporters, the court’s marshal operates outside of that chain of command, opening the possibility for an investigation without traditional guardrails to protect journalists’ sources.
Here’s a look at the investigation and how it could play out.
IS IT A CRIME?
That’s a matter of legal dispute, but many experts say bringing a criminal case would be extremely difficult.
“There is no special statute that makes it a crime to disseminate a draft Supreme Court opinion or other private court documents,” Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, said in a tweet.
Nevertheless, some lawmakers, particularly Republicans in the Senate, have called for an extensive investigation and prosecution of the person who leaked the document.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., demanded the FBI investigate the leak. And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called for the Justice Department to “pursue charges if applicable.” He said the “lawless action should be investigated and punished as fully as possible.”
Generally, the Justice Department pursues leak investigations when classified information is unlawfully released to the public, but that isn’t the case here. And while there may be an argument that the release of the draft could amount to the theft of government property, the Justice Department’s guidelines suggest a prosecution would be unlikely.
Federal law prohibits the theft or receiving of stolen government information. But Justice Department guidelines say it is “inappropriate to bring a prosecution” under that law if the person had legitimate access to the information or documents and then used it “for the purpose of disseminating it to the public.”
WHO IS THE MARSHAL DOING THE INVESTIGATION?
The court’s marshal, Col. Gail A. Curley, came to the court from the U.S. Army and has been on the job for less than a year. As marshal, she wears several different hats in overseeing the administrative side of the court. She is the court’s chief security officer, overseeing a staff of approximately 260 employees including the police force that provides security for the justices and the Supreme Court building. But she is also the building’s facilities administrator. And when the court hears arguments it’s her job to bang a gavel and announce the justices’ entrance into the courtroom with a traditional cry that includes the phrase “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!” which means “hear ye.”
Curley began her job of marshal in the summer of 2021 following the retirement of the court’s longtime Marshal Pamela Talkin. The court said then that while working for the Army, part of Curley’s duties included providing legal advice and support on national security law to senior Army leadership. Her military career included time in Germany and Afghanistan.
Curley graduated from the U.S. Military Academy and has a law degree from the University of Illinois College of Law. She received two different master’s degrees from military schools.
WHAT DOES AN INVESTIGATION LOOK LIKE?
It is very unclear at this point. The marshal could carry out the investigation herself, but she’s perhaps more likely to bring on help.
The group of people that has access to a draft opinion includes the court’s nine justices, a small number of staff and some three dozen law clerks, young lawyers who help the justices with their work for a year. The marshal could theoretically hire an outside law firm to assist in the probe. And in other cases involving judicial records, the FBI has sometimes been called in to help.
A Justice Department spokesman said Tuesday that the department had not been asked to help assist in finding the person who leaked the document.
All law clerks sign a code of conduct promising confidentiality. “The law clerk should take particular care that Court documents not available to the public are not taken from the Court building,” a copy of the code from 1989 says.
An investigation is likely also to focus on how and why the information was leaked, whether it was intentionally provided to Politico by a court employee or inadvertently made available to someone who then sent a copy of the draft to the news organization, or whether a different circumstance occurred.
CAN THE MARSHAL SEIZE THE RECORDS OF THE JOURNALISTS?
Maybe. In most cases, though, investigators need to spell out exactly why they believe a crime was committed in order to obtain the records from the companies who would hold telephone or email records.
The investigation is somewhat unprecedented, and the Supreme Court hasn’t searched for anyone who leaked information on this scale in the digital age.
The Biden administration has significantly curtailed the use of subpoenas and warrants to seize the records of journalists in leak investigations. But the marshal of the Supreme Court doesn’t report to the executive branch of the government, so those restrictions likely wouldn’t apply in this investigation.
In July, Attorney General Merrick Garland formally prohibited prosecutors from seizing journalists’ records as part of leak investigations after an outcry over revelations that the Justice Department — in the Trump administration — had obtained records belonging to journalists at The Washington Post, CNN and The New York Times as part of investigations into who had disclosed government secrets related to the Russia investigation and other national security matters.
Garland’s policy — which includes limited exceptions when prosecutors could obtain the records — reversed years of Justice Department policy and aimed to resolve an issue that long vexed prosecutors trying to weigh the media’s First Amendment rights against the government’s desire to protect sensitive and classified information.
The marshal of the Supreme Court, however, reports directly to the court and the chief justice and wouldn’t be subject to those restrictive guidelines. It isn’t clear if the marshal or any others involved in the investigation could issue subpoenas or attempt to collect the records of the Politico journalists or others.
The marshal of the Supreme Court has served a subpoena before, though the one publicly known instance came in 1915 after a dispute where a Civil War soldier took Martha Washington’s will, which was later sold to a wealthy New York banker. The state of Virginia later brought the case to the Supreme Court and the subpoena was issued in an effort to collect the will.
WHAT’S NEXT?
It’s hard to say. Roberts said only that he had directed the marshal to investigate the source of the leak. He didn’t say how long the investigation would take. He didn’t say whether it would be limited to the court or extend to the journalists involved in the opinion’s publication. And he didn’t say whether the results would eventually be made public.
The beginning of the investigation comes during a particularly busy time of year for the court. The justices just finished hearing arguments in cases at the end of April. They spend May and June completing their work on opinions, and those are issued before they take a summer break. They return to the bench to begin hearing new cases in October. | https://www.news10.com/news/politics/whats-next-in-the-investigation-of-the-supreme-court-leak/ | 2022-05-05T19:19:11Z | https://www.news10.com/news/politics/whats-next-in-the-investigation-of-the-supreme-court-leak/ | true | 32 |

After a strong end to last year, there were multiple questions surrounding guard R.J. Hampton entering his second season.
How much would Hampton’s success with the Magic, which included him being named the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for May, translate after being traded from Denver in March 2021?
What role would first-year Magic coach Jamahl Mosley and his staff envision for Hampton? And how would Hampton fit alongside the ballhandlers/guards he didn’t play with last season?
Hampton’s 2021-22 season provided clarity for some of those questions, but others remain.
Hampton averaged 7.6 points, 3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 21.9 minutes (64 games, 14 starts) in his sophomore season.
His production was down from the 11.2 points, 5 rebounds and 2.8 assists (25.2 minutes) that he averaged in his 26 games with the Magic last year because of his role change and usage, as well as a decline in efficiency at the rim.
With the drafting of Jalen Suggs and the late-season comeback of Markelle Fultz, Hampton wasn’t the primary ballhandler as frequently.
For Hampton, that meant fewer opportunities to run the offense in a traditional sense — being the ballhandler in pick-and-rolls.
Hampton’s most frequent play type in Orlando’s offense was as the pick-and-roll ballhandler (33.8%), with the Magic scoring 0.7 points per possession on those plays.
He was involved in fewer pick-and-rolls this past season (22.8% frequency as the pick-and-roll ballhandler), with more of his usage coming in spot-up situations (28.2% frequency compared to last season’s 21.8%) and handoffs (9.6% compared to 5.2%).
Handoffs were a staple of Mosley’s offense, with the Magic leading the league in handoff frequency at 7.8%.
“Sometimes you fall into a lot of dribbling,” Mosley said. “The dribble handoff allows you to get direct line drives to a rim. When you dribble handoff or throw-and-go, it allows the defense to be in the coverage. For young guys, it allows seeing exactly what that coverage is.
“Sometimes if you’re driving in the pick-and-rolls, you don’t recognize what that big or guard is doing. The dribble handoff forces you to understand exactly what’s happening.”
A problem for Hampton was that those drives to the basket weren’t as fruitful as they were a year ago.
Hampton shot 33% on his 6.7 drives per game during the 2021-22 season, down from 43.4% on 4.7 drives. With his size (6-6), speed and athleticism, getting into the paint hasn’t been an issue for Hampton but finishing at the rim has.
He shot 49% (62-for-126) within four feet of the rim, a subpar mark for a combo guard, according to Cleaning The Glass, after making 68% (38 of 56) with the Magic during 2020-21. Hampton didn’t have the best control on his drives and didn’t show the strength to finish through contact.
Hampton’s process as a playmaker was up and down, resulting in an 11.6% turnover rate (20.7% in pick-and-rolls, 17.5% on handoffs). He’d make the right reads, but the timing on his passes would be off.
His defensive improvements were notable and his refined shooting from beyond the arc helped make the transition to a more off-ball role smoother.
Hampton made 35% of his 2.9 3-point attempts after converting 31.9% of his 2.7 attempts with the Magic his rookie season. After a hot start (41.7% on 3s in his first 29 games), his outside shooting tailed (30.6% in his final 35 games).
Hampton’s four-game absence because of health and safety protocols and 14-game absence because of a medial collateral ligament sprain and bone bruise in his left knee didn’t help his rhythm.
This offseason and the 2022-23 season will be crucial for Hampton, the No. 24 pick in the 2020 draft. He’s entering the third year of his rookie-scale contract, with a $4.22 million team option for the 2023-24 season.
Hampton made improvements in some areas while regressing in others. The question heading into next year will be which step will he take in his development.

Three members of a Laurelton family have been charged with multiple crimes, including grand larceny, forgery, perjury, identity theft, defrauding the government and official misconduct for their roles in multiple scams over the past decade, according to Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
Stephanie Bailey, 50, of 225th Street in Laurelton and Latonya Bailey Dostaly, 45, of West 28th Street in Brooklyn, were arraigned before Queens Criminal Court Judges Denise Johnson and Anthony Battisti on felony complaints charging them with multiple crimes, Katz announced Wednesday, May 4. Stephanie Bailey’s daughter, Chianti Bailey, 31, of 225th Street in Laurelton, remains at large and warrants have been issued for her arrest, according to the DA’s office.
According to the complaint, retired Port Authority accountant Rusell Butler died in 2010, leaving personal documents inside his empty home at 137-47 225th St. in Laurelton. As alleged, Stephanie Bailey moved her family into Butler’s home in 2014 and shortly thereafter, Chianti Bailey filed a fake will in Bronx Surrogate’s Court claiming she was the heir to Butler’s estate. She was granted ownership of the house in 2020 and promptly took out a $200,000 mortgage. She also used fake documents to obtain more than $100,000 in unclaimed funds owed to the butler estate.
While her daughter was allegedly stealing Butler’s house, Stephanie Bailey allegedly stole almost $100,000 from the Housing Choice Voucher program commonly known as Section 8.
According to the complaint, Stephanie Bailey applied for housing assistance with New York State Homes and Community Renewal in September 2014 and included in her application a fake lease — listing a fictitious landlord — for the Laurelton house. The federal government sent rent payments of almost $90,000 to the fake landlord, which Chianti Bailey and Latonya Bailey Dostaly deposited into their own bank accounts.
Katz said the defendants allegedly filed fake tax returns seeking refunds from the state Department of Taxation and Finance. More than 30 victims had their identities stolen in the defendant’s scheme, and more remain under investigation, according to the DA. In 12 fake tax returns, the defendants attempted to steal more than $52,000 from the NYS Tax Department and succeeded in stealing almost $38,000.
“As alleged, these defendants used virtually every trick in the book to pull off an assortment of illegal scams over more than a decade — including taking control of the $700,000-plus home of a longtime Laurelton resident who died in 2010,” Katz said. They stole people’s identities — including the identities of at least 20 children — to use in a large-scale tax fraud scheme, ripped off Section 8 and COVID relief funds, and filed $200,000 worth of false unemployment insurance claims. These defendants will now be held to account for their one-family crime spree.”
According to the complaint, Chianti Bailey’s sister Latonya Bailey Dostaly used her position at the NYC Human Resources Administration to access HRA’s electronic files. She allegedly accessed application files and stole the identities of more than 20 children for use as dependents in her family’s fake tax return scheme.
“The HRA employee who is charged here allegedly preyed on the very clients she was supposed to assist, using her access to City files to steal,” Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn Stauber said. “Those who seek help from City-administered programs should not thereby become victims of wrongdoing by City employees and others, and we will work with our law enforcement partners to hold such wrongdoers accountable.”
The defendants were ordered to return to court on June 8. If convicted, each faces up to 52 years in prison. | https://qns.com/2022/05/laurelton-family-scam-artists-charged-crimes/ | 2022-05-05T19:19:44Z | https://qns.com/2022/05/laurelton-family-scam-artists-charged-crimes/ | false | 1 |

Have you ever wondered why there were so few female rulers in HBO’s Game of Thrones? It’s the same reason why there aren’t that many in this world. In the new trailer for the prequel series, House of the Dragon, King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) sets up what should be a peaceful transfer of power. The major houses of Westeros have all come to bend the knee and swear loyalty to Viserys and his chosen heir: His daughter, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). Everyone follows the script except one: Her uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith).
Most of the trailer seems to take place from Daemon’s perspective, as he walks out of the throne room without supporting his niece or his brother. Instead of being shunned, he is cheered by his followers. Daemon is willing to let the kingdom slip into war just to satisfy his urge for power. And as warned in the trailer, history doesn’t remember the blood spilled on the way to the throne. It remembers the names of those who claimed it.
One of the other striking aspects of this trailer is the prevalence of dragons, and the almost religious awe surrounding dragon eggs. Perhaps the dragons are more scarce outside of King’s Landing. Regardless, both Rhaenyra and Daemon are skilled dragon riders. When they go to war against each other, and they will, their battle will play out in the sky in a duel of dragons while their armies battle below.
House of the Dragon was created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan J. Condal. The first episode will premiere on HBO and HBO Max on August 21.

TCU defensive end transfer Ochaun Mathis did not take his decision on what school to transfer to lightly and treated it as a “business trip” when he visited both Nebraska and Texas, his top two schools.
Mathis joined HuskerOnline’s Sean Callahan for a one-on-one interview on Husker Chat Live after the defensive end committed to Nebraska on Saturday. He detailed why he chose Nebraska over Texas and the major factors in his decision in his first interview of the portal process.
The Texas native had a list of reasons why he will be wearing red next season but one theme emerged: the fan base.
“Coming to Lincoln, it was more of a business trip,” he said. “Coming out, it was a little bit of uncertainty of knowing what is actually out there besides corn but it just set the high bar for me whenever I came up. I was more than welcome, just the genuinity of the people who are surrounding that area, were showing so much love to me and my family, and, of course, the recruiting staff also showed their love and compassion.”
The 6-foot-5, 260-pound end said while he was walking through the academic area, he said a group of people setting up the red balloons that Husker fans release after the first touchdown.
“There were like senior citizens all over the place just helping out and just seeing that also just brought it to light how dedicated the people around Lincoln are,” he said. “Walking through there, they cheered me on and stuff like that. It made me feel really good inside.”
The top defensive end in the transfer portal said he also paid attention to what and how many Husker fans were commenting on his social media posts.
It also helped that his mother, sister, brother and best friend all loved Nebraska.
In fact, that was the first time Mathis’s family rode on an airplane. He said he was grateful to be able to experience that with them and was able to do that for them.
“They all enjoyed it, they had nothing but good things to say about it, and they treated us like the VIP guests of the whole thing it was really good to have all the eyes on me and my family, and they enjoyed the attention,” he said. “Coming back to the Texas area, they had nothing but great things to say and they just reminisced on it for the next few weeks going on to the Texas visit.”
Another big factor in Mathis’s decision was meeting several former Husker football players including Jason Peter, Rich Glover and Trev Alberts, Nebraska’s athletic director.
“Just having insight on coming to Nebraska itself, they weren’t too pushy,” Mathis said of the former players. “They weren’t doing the recruiting just putting in my face, like the normal recruitment of a normal high schooler. It was more of a business approach and they treated everything like a profession. That’s what I liked the most about it.”
When he met Alberts, the former linebacker pointed out the names etched into Memorial Stadium including Alberts’s. Mathis said he was surprised when Alberts told him to come to Nebraska and break his sac record.
“He laid it out for me and he told me, man to man, that I’m going to change the game and I’m going to come in there and be a true impact on the team and he wants me to beat his sac record,” he said. “That’s one thing that sat with me on the plane ride back.”
Former TCU running back coach Bryan Applewhite, that left the Horned Frogs for Nebraska, was a major factor in Mathis’s decision to pick the Huskers.
“Just having that similar connection in another program, I say, for the most part, would help me a lot just getting and fitting in the shoes or whatnot and just coming in and feeling really good about being there,” Mathis said. “I say for the most part that coach Applewhite had a big impact on me going to that school. He recruited me hard and I trust that man with my heart.”
But Mathis also had a coach he knows very well at Texas, TCU’s former head coach Gary Patterson, who is now a special assistant to Texas’s head coach Steve Sarkisian.
Mathis, who went to high school 15 miles away from Austin, said he felt pressure to pick his hometown school.
“I went there and saw a lot of day-one supporters come into the spring game and almost changed my mind, but I was like, “I can’t just fall back onto the support system,” he said of his Texas visit. “Nebraska, you guys have the most loyal fan base ever. I felt like if anything, it was the equivalent of just the day-one supporters, and I love everything about the Nebraska supporters and the support system itself.”
Before he announced his decision on April 30, Mathis had a three-hour long conversation with someone who knows both programs well, Husker quarterback Casey Thompson, who transferred from Texas.
“He gave me the rundown, he made me feel good about the decision I was looking forward to,” Mathis said. “If anything, if I were looking the other way towards Texas, he would have not had an impact on my decision but along with him just being trustworthy enough to give me the good information and not hiding any shadiness had a great impact on my decision for sure and he did a great job of is laying out everything going from his experience being up there.”
He said Thompson didn’t say anything bad about Texas, he just tried to tell it to him straight.
The reason Mathis waited to commit until the end of April was to see how the Big Ten did in the NFL draft compared to the Big 12, he said.
Mathis has two years of eligibility remaining but hopes to enter the next NFL draft and saw several Big Ten defensive ends get selected.
“I seek for that to be a good part of my decision,” he said. “One thing is just looking forward to that draft next year, I want to be in a good position. The Big Ten has a lot of competition to showcase my talent against big linemen and just having that type of feeling will help me out further along down in my career.”
During his official visit to Nebraska for the Red-White scrimmage on April 9, Mathis and his family sat down with head coach Scott Frost and defensive coordinator Erik Chinander as they detailed what his role will look like as a Husker.
Mathis’s eyes likely light up with excitement.
“They pointed out the things that would have me doing on first and second down, which is of course just running plays most likely, then whenever there’s third down, it’s on and popping,” he said. “They’re just going to have me on the one-on-one with the weakest link of the offense and have me just wreak havoc on the quarterback. That’s one thing that I wanted to do for the longest time is showcase my ability to come off the edge and play like an animal.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/tcu-transfer-ochaun-mathis-details-why-he-chose-nebraska-over-texas/173390/ | 2022-05-05T19:22:10Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/tcu-transfer-ochaun-mathis-details-why-he-chose-nebraska-over-texas/173390/ | false | 3 |
Mortgage rates resumed their ascent this week, as the key 30-year loan reached its highest point since 2009.
The increases came in the week preceding the widely anticipated action by the Federal Reserve, announced Wednesday, to intensify its fight against the worst inflation in 40 years by raising its benchmark interest rate by a half-percentage point and signaling further large rate hikes to come. The Fed’s move, its most aggressive since 2000, will bring higher costs for mortgages as well as credit cards, auto loans and other borrowing for individuals and businesses.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate rose to 5.27% from 5.1% last week, when it edged down after seven weeks of increases. By contrast, the average rate stood at 2.96% a year ago.
The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, jumped to 4.52% from 4.4% last week.
With inflation at a four-decade high, rising mortgage rates, elevated home prices and tight supply of homes for sale, homeownership has become less attainable, especially for first-time buyers.
Some economists suggest that home sales this year could decline as much as 10% from 2021 levels.
In a statement Wednesday following their two-day meeting, Fed policymakers noted that Russia’s invasion and war on Ukraine is worsening inflation pressures by raising oil and food prices. Inflation, according to the Fed’s preferred gauge, reached 6.6% last month, the highest in four decades. It has been accelerated by a combination of robust consumer spending, chronic supply bottlenecks and sharply higher gas and food prices.
Add to that — higher housing costs. At the current 30-year average, a borrower with a $300,000 mortgage would pay $1,660 a month, $377 more than at the end of last year.
“While housing affordability and inflationary pressures pose challenges for potential buyers, house-price growth will continue but is expected to decelerate in the coming months,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in the statement.
Families typically spent 18.7% of their income on mortgage payments in the first quarter, up from 14.2% a year earlier, data from National Association of Realtors showed this week.
“With much higher monthly payments, buyers who don’t have savings for a large down payment risk being priced out of the market,” said Joel Berner, senior economic research analyst from Realtor.com. “Unfortunately, this is occurring just as nationwide rents reach an all-time high, making saving more difficult for those looking to buy their first home.”
Tight inventory is beginning to crimp purchases. But plenty of pent-up demand from the past couple of years and a rising share of cash buyers make a crash in home sales unlikely, according to Matthew Pointon, senior property economist at Capital Economics.

LONDON (AP) — Energy giant Shell reported record first-quarter earnings after a surge in oil prices, fueling calls for the British government to impose a tax on energy companies’ windfall earnings to help consumers struggling with the soaring cost of living.
London-based Shell said adjusted earnings — which exclude one-time items and fluctuations in the value of inventories — rose to $9.1 billion from $3.2 billion in the same period last year. That beat analyst expectations of $8.2 billion.
High oil and gas prices, partly due to uncertainty about supplies from Russia, are boosting the profits of major energy companies and feeding inflation around the world. In Britain, where households face the biggest drop in living standards on record, that has triggered demands for a special tax on energy company earnings to help consumers.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday rejected calls for a windfall profits tax, saying it would reduce investment in Britain just as the country is trying to diversify its energy industry and increase production from renewable sources. But opposition parties stepped up pressure after Shell’s earnings report.
The government’s “refusal to tax the super-profits of energy companies is completely unforgivable when people are too terrified to heat their homes,” said Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats. “This one-off levy would raise billions of pounds that could help vulnerable families with their energy bills now. It is a no-brainer.”
Brent crude, a benchmark for global oil prices, averaged $102.23 a barrel during the first quarter, 67% higher than during the same period last year.
The British media is filled with stories about people forced to skip meals or go into debt as they struggle to heat their homes after a 54% increase in household energy prices took effect April 1. Even before those increases, inflation accelerated to a 30-year high of 7% in March.
Shell rival BP on Tuesday reported its highest quarterly profit in more than a decade. The London-based company said adjusted earnings rose to $6.2 billion in the first quarter, from $2.6 billion in the same period last year.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK, criticized politicians for “grandstanding” with calls for a windfall profits tax, pointing out that Shell last month announced plans to invest 25 billion pounds ($31 billion) in renewable energy in the U.K. BP made a commitment to invest 18 billion pounds in U.K. energy this week.
“That’s a lot more than a windfall tax would raise and would probably be better spent,” Hewson said.
Shell said Thursday that it would take a $3.9 billion charge to cover the cost of exiting investments in Russia, which it pledged to do after the invasion of Ukraine.
First-quarter net income, which includes such one-time items, rose to $7.3 billion from $5.8 billion in the same period last year.
“The war in Ukraine is first and foremost a human tragedy, but it has also caused significant disruption to global energy markets and has shown that secure, reliable and affordable energy simply cannot be taken for granted,” CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement. “We have been engaging with governments, our customers and suppliers to work through the challenging implications and provide support and solutions where we can.” | https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/international-headlines/shell-reports-record-1st-quarter-earnings-as-oil-prices-soar/ | 2022-05-05T19:28:58Z | https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/international-headlines/shell-reports-record-1st-quarter-earnings-as-oil-prices-soar/ | false | 33 |

LEWISBURG — The William Cameron Engine Company has announced the delay in the mailing of 2022-2023 ambulance membership forms. The current memberships expire May 31.

LYNDONVILLE — The leader of the Kingdom East School District’s health team is both a doctor and a nurse — and Dr. Nurse Hall was recently selected to be honored with both state and national awards.
“…{Hall] has transformed Kingdom East School District’s nursing practices across our schools, created leadership and vision and helped us stay positive through such a tumultuous time,” the district announced in a release.
Hall stepped into much bigger shoes and responsibilities at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, taking on an unprecedented level of trust and pressure as the global pandemic wreaked havoc on how schools would be able to safely re-open and operate amid the ongoing health concerns.
According to Kingdom East Superintendent Jen Botzojorns, “During the pandemic, Dr. Soph Hall provided exceptional leadership. This includes timely responses, thoughtful implementation, and collaborative teaming around absolutely everything COVID-related. And, every weekend, for hours on end, she supported other nurses.
“Her Zoom calls and assistance with contact tracing for all seven schools in our district were coupled with positive upbeat messages, laughter and the promise that we will get through this period of time … She has an ability to develop trust in all our nurses, families, schools and students.”
Hall received two awards recently. She was named VT School Nurse Administrator of the Year from the Vermont State School Nurses’ Association and the Outstanding School Nurse Administrator 2022 award is from the National Association of School Nurses.
In addition to her work with Kingdom East, Hall also served as President of the Vermont State School Nurses’ Association from July 2017 through June of 2021 - during the height of the pandemic. She was the KESD Covid Coordinator/Lead School Nurse from July 2020 to June 2022.
“When the pandemic hit, I advocated for school nurses to be at the decision-making table addressing the health crisis and its impact on the school children we serve,” Hall said. “This advocacy for the expertise of the school nurse was successful; I was invited to serve on the Agency of Education Secretary’s Advisory committee which led to my appointment as the School Nurse on the VDH/AOE team that wrote Strong and Healthy Start: Safety and health guidance for re-opening schools 2020. School nurses were part of the VT NEA meetings planning for re-entry to in-person school.”
Thanks in part to Hall’s leadership, she said “School nurses were identified as the ideal person to become the COVID Coordinator for every school district as a return to in-person learning was desirable.”
She said “the pandemic has shined the light on the specialty of school nursing, the heavy load the school nurse carries as the sole health care professional in the school building, the necessity of every student having easy access to a school nurse, and the vital role the school nurse and their expertise plays in guiding student success for learning.”
Hall, who recently earned her doctorate in Nursing Practices, also volunteers in the community for vaccination and immunization clinics on weekends, helps out local medical professionals, and coordinates regional information sessions with local pediatricians, Kingdom East officials said.
Hall was honored on April 25th at the Vermont State School Nurses’ Association (VSSNA) annual meeting.
She will be receiving the 2022 Outstanding School Nurse Administrator Award at the NASN Conference in Atlanta Georgia in June.
“This National Award is huge - it recognizes that the work Dr. Soph Hall has done at the local, district and state level was noticed nationally and impacted school nursing everywhere,” the Kingdom East announcement said.
Superintendent Botzojorns shared that, “Each day Dr. Nurse Soph Hall shows up at Millers Run School. She takes care of all things great and small related to nursing in our individual school where she serves as ‘Nurse Soph.’ She helps children who have not made it in time to the toilet. She helps students with diabetes or nut allergies. She calls parents and patiently walks them through their needed responses to illness. She facilitates medical 504 meetings — all with the utmost professionalism.”
“What I appreciate most is her participation with Girls on the Run. Children, some fit, some just learning to exercise, join her on the upbeat short jogs,” Botzojorns went on. “She is helping them improve their lives forever. This contribution goes beyond all others. Ms Hall is grounded, kind, forward-thinking. We all offer her our greatest appreciation and heartfelt congratulations!”
National Association Award
In a separate announcement to the press, the National Association of School Nurses also touted the skills and service of Hall.
“Every year the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) recognizes the School Nurse of the Year and the Outstanding School Nurse Administrator of the Year from each state. Until COVID, Vermont only had too few school nurse administrators in the state to participate in the latter,” the press release stated. “With the creation of COVID Coordinator positions in many school districts in the 2020-21 school year, districts around the state saw the value in having a school nurse leader at their decision making table. The Vermont State School Nurses’ Association (VSSNA) decided to start awarding this honor in our state beginning this school year. This will be the first year that a Vermont Outstanding School Nurse Administrator of the year will be recognized among other state awardees at the NASN Conference in June.”
Hall is the association’s first in the new category.
“She leads by example and is the first to give her talents to help others succeed,” the NASN announcement said. “Soph is so incredible that not only did she keep Vermont School Nurses afloat amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and serve many hours representing school nurses in multiple state meetings, but she also completed a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree! Soph Hall puts the A in ‘Amazing,’ and embodies all of the criteria this award represents. It is the VSSNA’s pleasure to announce the 2021-22 Vermont School Nurse Administrator of the Year, Dr. Sophia R. Boyle Hall.” | https://www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local/kingdom-east-nurse-dr-nurse-soph-earns-state-national-honors/article_438a2c7d-eaa7-5fdc-acca-8ba3169ba14e.html | 2022-05-05T19:45:08Z | https://www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local/kingdom-east-nurse-dr-nurse-soph-earns-state-national-honors/article_438a2c7d-eaa7-5fdc-acca-8ba3169ba14e.html | true | 1 |
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit against Alec Baldwin over online harassment filed by the family of a Wyoming Marine who was killed in Afghanistan.
The judge said the Wyoming court has no jurisdiction.
The sisters and widow of Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum claimed Baldwin subjected them to online harassment after one of the sisters, Roice McCollum, shared a picture from Jan. 6, 2021, online.
She was in Washington during the riot. However, she said she did not enter the Capitol and hasn't been charged with a crime.
After seeing the picture, the suit alleges that Baldwin sent Roice a private message, calling her a “January 6th rioter.” He also apparently reposted the photo to his Instagram. In the post, he mentioned his donation to the family and criticized those who participated in the riot.
The family claims they were continually harassed after Baldwin's post.
The Wyoming judge did not rule on the merits of the case. An attorney for the McCollums says the lawsuit will probably be refiled in New York or California. | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/defamation-lawsuit-against-alec-baldwin-dismissed | 2022-05-05T19:45:10Z | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/defamation-lawsuit-against-alec-baldwin-dismissed | false | 11 |

How prisons are using COVID-19 containment measures as a guise for torture
By Jessica Evans, Assistant Professor, Sociology, Toronto Metropolitan University
Linda Mussell, Postdoctoral fellow, Political Studies, L’Université d’Ottawa/University of Ottawa
Solitary confinement is still a common feature of prisons across Canada and in its most populous province, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a practice that amounts to torture.

Horse racing’s new governing body in rush to starting gate
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — With interest among the general public at its highest with the 148th Kentucky Derby coming up Saturday, horse racing is once again under intense scrutiny.
The industry has been rocked by scandal in recent years, including the disqualification of last year’s Kentucky Derby winner, a horse doping conspiracy involving trainers and veterinarians, and the punishment of its highest-profile trainer.
The sport’s seeming inability to police itself drew the attention of the federal government in 2020. The result is the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act set to go into effect July 1.
The act will be implemented in stages, with the racetrack safety program starting immediately. The antidoping and medication rules aren’t expected to begin until early 2023, leaving states in charge for now.
“We have to do it,” said Tom Rooney, new president and CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. “We have to have the same standards in every jurisdiction.”
Unlike the central offices that govern the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, the 38 U.S. racing states operate under patchwork rules that vary from track to track. Horses, owners, trainers and jockeys move frequently between states to compete. Locales honor punishments meted out elsewhere, but inconsistencies can create confusion and make it possible to game the system.
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert is serving a 90-day suspension imposed by Kentucky racing officials that will keep him out of the Derby on Saturday, a race he’s won six times. The punishment came after 2021 Derby winner Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test. The colt was later disqualified.
East Coast trainer Jorge Navarro is serving five years in prison for his role in a horse doping conspiracy. He also was fined $25.8 million.
Trainer Jason Servis is set for trial next year as part of the same case. He has declared his innocence. Servis trained 2019 Kentucky Derby winner Maximum Security, who was disqualified for interference during the race.
Navarro and Servis were among over two dozen people indicted after a lengthy FBI investigation.
Despite such hits to the sport’s reputation, there appears to be growing trepidation in the industry over the prospect of sweeping change brought by HISA.
The program has already been challenged in the courts, with two lawsuits seeking to kill it.
In late March, a lawsuit filed by the National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and a group of its affiliates questioned HISA’s constitutionality. It was dismissed by a federal judge in Texas and is being appealed.
The second suit filed in Kentucky by the state of Oklahoma and eight other states is similar to the NHBPA’s suit. It has yet to be heard.
Whether the implementation of HISA is a reaction to placate vocal critics or representative of meaningful change is an ongoing debate within the industry.
“As trainers, we have mixed emotions because we’re going to have people making decisions that aren’t very educated in our sport,” said D. Wayne Lukas, a Hall of Fame trainer. “It just seems hard to tell where they’re going to go.”
Rooney, a former Republican congressman from Florida, believes training fresh eyes on the sport is crucial.
“Having a large group of people who are not horse people is a positive as long as they’re not out to hurt the industry,” he said. “They’ve agreed to sign on to this board to help horse racing succeed.”
Steve Asmussen, North America’s winningest trainer, comes from a family-run horse training operation in Laredo, Texas.
“I worry that all the decisions are being made by people that have other forms of income and would be eliminating people like my family, where lower-level racing was all of the income,” he said. “I would think that would be very negative for the sport going forward.”
Trainer Tim Yakteen is based in California, where some of the strictest rules involving medications, drug testing and veterinary examinations were enacted after dozens of horses died at Santa Anita in 2019.
“I embrace what we have coming our way because I think it will create unity amongst our industry. It should benefit us because we have been very much fragmented,” said Yakteen, who has two horses in the Kentucky Derby. “I’m hoping that this unity that we’re starting with will carry over into other aspects of our industry that can be capitalized on.”
HISA is in a headlong rush to the starting gate with the July deadline fast approaching.
Lisa Lazarus began her job as CEO of HISA’s board of directors in mid-February. She completed her first major task this week: hiring an independent enforcement agency to oversee the antidoping and medication rules.
After negotiations with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency fell through, HISA chose Drug Free Sport International, a Missouri-based company that works with the NFL, NBA, MLB and NASCAR, among other leagues. The company will set up an integrity and welfare unit overseen by a five-member advisory council, headed by Jonathan Taylor, a London-based attorney with experience in antidoping in international sports.
Lazarus said she’s aiming for transparent investigations and speedier resolutions of disputes.
California, Kentucky and Minnesota are the first states that have agreed to work with HISA by paying their prorated share of costs.
“We’re close to reaching agreements with the vast majority of racing commissions,” Lazarus said. “We’re learning as we go, but we’ve made a lot of headway.”
A cleaner and fairer sport may boost horse racing’s popularity among a younger generation and help it cash in on the online sports betting gold rush.
“Maybe we can get our fanbase built up,” Yakteen said.
HISA’s greatest influence may be in leveling the playing field.
“We need to show the world we’re doing everything we can to protect the athlete, the jockeys and the integrity of the sport,” Rooney said.

Airbus said Wednesday that its profit in the first three months of 2022 more than tripled to 1.22 billion euros ($1.28 billion), helped by an increase in aircraft deliveries as airlines recover from the worst of the pandemic.
Airbus said it plans to speed up production of its A320 family of planes that compete with Boeing 737s to 75 per month by 2025. To hit that rate, Toulouse, France-based Airbus will build a second final assembly line at its plant in Mobile, Alabama, CEO Guillaume Faury told reporters.
The ramp-up in A320 production builds on a current Airbus goal to build 65 A320s a month by the middle of 2023. The company hopes to take advantage of strong demand for short- and medium-range planes. Boeing is also trying to churn out more 737 Max jets but is producing only about 30 a month.
Richard Aboulafia, an analyst for the consultant AeroDynamic Advisory, said Airbus’ aggressive plans should worry the European company’s rival, Chicago-based Boeing Co.
“The market for single-aisle jets is extremely strong, and the A321neo is doing particularly well,” Aboulafia said. He said Airbus’ objective is to gain 70% of that market, leaving only 30% for Boeing, “and they just might get there.”
While it is forging ahead with ambitious production plans, Airbus suffered a setback in building a new plane, the A321 XLR. Airbus now expects the plane to begin carrying passengers in early 2024, not late 2023. Airbus has encountered more difficulty than it anticipated in meeting certification requirements set by Europe’s aviation regulator.
The market for “narrowbody” planes like the A320 and 737 families is much stronger than demand for bigger, two-aisle “widebody” planes that are mostly for long-haul international flights — a segment of the travel market that has been slower to recover.
Some analysts question whether the supply chain is strong enough to let Airbus hit production targets. Airbus officials said on a call with analysts that suppliers have assured the company they can produce the necessary parts.
Airbus said, however, that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting ban on Russian imports has increased the company’s exposure to supply-chain disruptions. Before the sanctions, the company used titanium from Russia in aircraft parts.
In the first quarter, Airbus delivered 142 airline planes, up from 125 a year ago. Revenue rose 15% from a year earlier, to 12 billion euros ($12.645 billion).
The company stood by its targets of delivering 720 airliners this year and producing 5.5 billion euros ($5.8 billion) in adjusted profit before taxes, even with rising risks due to the “complex geopolitical and economic environment,” Faury said. | https://www.yourbasin.com/business/airbus-posts-profit-plans-new-jet-assembly-line-in-alabama/ | 2022-05-05T20:02:09Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/business/airbus-posts-profit-plans-new-jet-assembly-line-in-alabama/ | false | 33 |

Ben Simmons underwent what was determined to be a successful back surgery in Los Angeles on Thursday. The Brooklyn Nets are hoping that he is fully recovered before the start of training camp this fall.
Simmons will need about three weeks for an “initial recovery period,” the Nets said, before he can start his rehabilitation program. The procedure Simmons had was called a microdiscectomy, in which a small fragment of a herniated disc is removed to relieve pressure on the spinal column.
Training camp will start in late September.
Simmons last played a game on June 20, 2021. He missed this entire season — some with Philadelphia before being traded to the Nets in the move that sent James Harden to the 76ers — for a variety of reasons, including mental health concerns before the trade and then what were originally called back spasms after the trade.
The hope is the surgery will allow Simmons to get back on the court, play without pain and become another key piece of a title-contending group led by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving that Brooklyn envisions. Working through the mental issues that Simmons is dealing with, Nets coach Steve Nash said toward the end of Brooklyn’s season, will remain a top priority for the team as well going forward.
“There is a mental component with everything,” Nash said late last month. “I think Ben has addressed that there is a mental component with what he’s going through. But how much and where he’s at with that is not for me to speak about. But as far as an organization, we’re really pushing to support Ben in any way we can to help him improve physically and get back on the court.”
This was the second full season that Simmons has missed in the past six years. He was picked No. 1 in the 2016 NBA draft but didn’t debut that season because of foot issues. He was rookie of the year in the following season, 2017-18, and was picked for the NBA All-Star games in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Simmons has three years and nearly $114 million remaining on his contract.

‘A hard case.’ Lexington man gets probation after murder charge is reduced to assault
A man originally charged with murder for a deadly fight received a five-year probation sentence Thursday after he previously agreed to plead guilty to second-degree assault.
Mervil Spencer Jr., 50, was given probation by Fayette County Judge Lucy Vanmeter two years after he was originally charged with murder for the death of 59-year-old Michael Coyle. Originally, Spencer was charged alongside William T. Justus, who died in February 2021.
Spencer’s attorney, Whitney Kirk, said in her statement “this is a hard case.”
“Someone passed away and Mr. Spencer is very remorseful for that,” Kirk said. “However there were some things in this case leading up to this resolution. I know the court is familiar with all of those and I am not going to rehash all of those arguments but this offer was extended because, while I am not going to blame the victim for his demise, he did brandish a machete at Mr. Spencer and his co-defendant and it resulted in a physical altercation that resulted in his death.”
Kirk added the situation was something her client “never wanted to have happen,” and that it had a significant impact on his life emotionally and financially.
Prosecutors said in court Thursday they would “take no position” on Spencer getting probation.
Coyle was originally charged with assault when the fight ensued between him, Justus and Spencer in December 2019. However, as police were able to speak with more witnesses and obtain more evidence, they determined Coyle was the victim in the beating, and that he died from blunt force trauma injuries in January 2020.
The Herald-Leader previously reported police were called to an apartment complex at 1401 Bayou Court on Dec. 14 for a fight involving a machete.
At that time, both Spencer and Justus told police Coyle left his apartment shouting with a machete in hand, according to court records. However, when authorities were able to interview Coyle, he said Justus and Spencer knocked on the door, and Coyle was wielding a machete because he “never knew what he would find when he answered the door,” according to police.
Police said that Coyle told investigators Spencer and Justus offered to shake his hand and then the men “sucker punched him” and began to beat him. Witnesses confirmed they saw Spencer and Justus drag Coyle out from the apartment before the fight began, according to police.
Coyle was taken to the hospital after the altercation and remained there for two weeks. After his release in December, Coyle stayed with his sister where he died a few weeks later. The Fayette County Coroner’s office reported the death was caused by blunt force trauma injuries he sustained in the fight with Justus and Spencer.
However, in court, it was revealed by Vanmeter that Coyle died due to an sepsis infection he suffered while he was being treated in the hospital.
Spencer originally pleaded not guilty in April 2020 at his arraignment. He later pleaded guilty in March 2022.
Defense: ‘Not trying to make light of’ deadly altercation
Kirk said Spencer was in the process of trying to get his life back on track, and she asked Vanmeter for a sentence of probation so he had an opportunity to do so.
“We understand this is a very serious situation and I am not trying to make light of it in asking for probation,” Kirk began. “But I truly think this is a case where probation is warranted. This was an altercation that everyone was impacted by.”
She argued Spencer did not have a violent past, and he had spent 293 days incarcerated in addition to adhering to the conditions of his bond.
“He is a good man who got into a bad situation and no one could have predicted this outcome because this was not a scenario where he brought a gun and shot somebody or brought a weapon or anything. In fact, he and his co-defendant are the ones who called the police after the incident happened. No one could have predicted this, and no one could be more remorseful than Mr. Spencer is.
“I just hope the court can see that.”
Vanmeter agreed, and said the case’s facts were unusual.
“Originally charged with murder, the amendment is assault second(-degree) under extreme emotional distress,” Vanmeter said. “Under the facts of the case, that seems to be the most appropriate charge for what we have here.”
She affirmed the assault on Coyle was a serious one, but felt it was significant that the victim in the case did not directly die because of the beating.
“He was not beaten to death,” she said. “There was a fight, his hand was cut. He went to the hospital and several weeks later he contracted sepsis. He died of sepsis, of an infection. That is an intervening instance. It is significant to me, that he was not beaten to death because that would be an entirely different case.” | https://news.yahoo.com/hard-case-lexington-man-gets-193152146.html | 2022-05-05T20:09:51Z | https://news.yahoo.com/hard-case-lexington-man-gets-193152146.html | false | 2 |
DUBLIN, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Cable Operator Market by Technology, Residential Services (Wireless, Internet, Entertainment, Security, Home Automation, and IoT based Apps), SMB and Enterprise Applications 2022 - 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report evaluates cable MSO ecosystem players, technologies, solutions, and market opportunities. This includes traditional residential and SMB services as well as the broader B2B market for fixed network providers, IoT market opportunities, wireless/mobility, and other consumer services.
The report evaluates these market opportunities and provides forecasts for every major sub-segment from 2022 through 2027. The report also evaluates the impact of 5G and edge computing on cable MSO network operators.
The report also assesses the cable MSO business service environment, landscape, and investment strategies such as the impact and opportunities surrounding developments with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS).
Looking beyond simply the migration from coaxial cable to fiber networks, the report takes into consideration important technical matters such as cable MSO converged IP/MPLS network architectures, IoT networks, and functionality.
The report also evaluates how these technical considerations relate to market opportunities such as cable MSO IoT vertical coverage. The report also evaluates the impact of artificial intelligence on cable MSO providers. In addition, the report also provides a summation with conclusions and recommendations for all industry constituents.
Cellular network operators will go head-to-head with cable companies for many of their B2B services including business Internet and backhaul solutions. For example, Comcast Business has introduced the Comcast Business Gateway, its next-generation Advanced Gateway, and the company's first WiFi-6 certified device capable of delivering true multi-gigabit speeds of Wi-Fi connectivity to businesses.
The ability to compete with cellular communications providers is extremely important to cable service operators. In fact, it is seen as a substantial strategic issue for MSOs and will continue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, purchasers of this report will also receive 5G Market Assessment: Vendor Strategies, Technology, and Infrastructure Outlook and Application Forecasts at no additional cost.
The term multiple-system operator (MSO) refers to a network operator of multiple cable or direct-broadcast satellite television systems. We use the terminology cable MSO in this report as MSOs are predominantly fixed connection providers that utilize fiber and largely cable for connectivity to homes and businesses. This category includes residential Internet, Voice over IP (VoIP), TV, and security services as well as a variety of business services.
Cable MSOs such as Cox Communications and Charter Communications have provided SMB services for a long time. With the advent of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) business model, many cable MSOs have launched consumer wireless offerings as an MVNO. More recently, cable MSO providers seek to leverage their assets to offer various Internet of Things (IoT) related applications and services.
In terms of IoT-related services, cable MSO companies hold a key role in connected home applications and services including home automation. Service areas include home security (monitoring, access control, automated lighting, etc.), connected appliances (refrigerator, washer/dryer, whole house vacuum, etc.), HVAC systems, irrigation systems, and entertainment including TV service, video on demand, and competition with Over-the-Top (OTT) service providers.
One of the ways that cable MSOs can differentiate themselves versus OTT providers is to become one themselves by leveraging telecom APIs. In fact, there are a few good arguments for cable companies using the OTT model only for wireless service rather than a traditional MVNO model.
On the business to business (B2B) front, traditional cable MSOs have new competition from Google Fiber as well as other companies seeking to provide high-speed fixed network connectivity. Due to the commercial introduction of 5G, and more specifically 5G New Radio (5GNR), cable MSO providers will have new competition from wireless carriers for connectivity, especially for enterprise communications.
More specifically, 5GNR uses millimeter-wave RF propagation, which enables both high capacity and low latency data transport as a competitive offering to fiber and cable.
Select Report Findings:
- Wireless carriers will lose the battle for residential ISP services
- Cable MSOs have a key role in consumer IoT and connected homes
- OTT service providers are at a competitive disadvantage to Cable MSOs
- Overall cable MSO B2B services will grow at 11.9% CAGR during the study period
- Strategic focus of cable MSOs is optimal infrastructure and ensuring high-quality services

Prosecutors in Los Angeles say they won't bring a felony charge against the man who attacked comedian Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl. The case has been referred to the city attorney as a possible misdemeanor case.
The LA Police Department had filed a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, against 23-year-old Isaiah Lee, alleging he had been in the audience, jumped on stage with what turned out to be a replica handgun with a knife blade attached, and tackled Chappelle.
The comedian and others were performing in the Netflix is a Joke Festival.
The District Attorney's Office says there was not enough evidence to charge Lee with the felony.
The attack was videotaped by audience members who sneaked cell phones into the venue. Ironically during his standup routine before the incident, the comedian had talked about his beefed-up security. Others noted that Chappelle had spoken about the recent Oscars incident in which best-actor winner Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock over a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith's hair. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences investigated the incident and banned Smith from all its events, virtually or in person, for 10 years.
Chappelle reportedly said both Smith's and Rock's actions had resonated with him.
Some audience members also posted video of Chappelle as he was joined on stage later by actor Jamie Foxx and by Chris Rock. "Was that Will Smith?" Rock asked, as the audience laughed.
Foxx appeared in a large hat. "Make some noise for Foxx. Whenever you're in trouble, Jamie Foxx will show up in a sheriff's hat," Chappelle said. "I thought that was part of the show," Foxx said.
"I grabbed the back of [the attacker's] head — his hair was spongey. Absorbent," Chappelle said. Foxx responded: "I just want to say, man, I've had an incredible time. This man is an absolute genius. We gotta make sure we protect him at all times, man."
Chappelle appeared unharmed, and reportedly joked that his attacker "was a trans man." Earlier in the set, he said he felt attacked by transgender people who criticized his past material as transphobic. For example, in his Netflix special The Closer last October, Chappelle joked about trans women and their genitalia.
Just after the incident, Chappelle and security guards could be seen chasing the man backstage. When he returned, he called his assailant "clumsy" and said, "I've been doing this 35 years. I just stomped a [n-word] backstage — always wanted to do that."
The LAPD did not give many details about the suspect; they say Lee was injured while security guards detained him. He was seen leaving the Hollywood Bowl on a stretcher, with apparent injuries, and being booed by Chappelle fans. He was treated medically and remains behind bars at the Hollywood jail with a $30,000 bail bond.
Chappelle's PR representative Carla Sims said the comedian is cooperating with the active police investigation. "Dave Chapelle celebrated four nights of comedy and music during the festival, tying with Monty Python for the most headlined shows by any comedian at the Hollywood Bowl," Sims said in a statement sent to NPR. "He refuses to allow last night's incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment."
Sims added, "As unfortunate and unsettling as the incident was, Chappelle went on with the show. Jamie Foxx and Chris Rock helped calm the crowd with humor before Chappelle introduced the last and featured musical guests for the evening, hip-hop artists Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli, a.k.a. Black Star."
After the incident, Netflix sent a statement to NPR that read, "We care deeply about the safety of creators and we strongly defend the right of stand-up comedians to perform on stage without fear of violence."
This is not the first incident in Hollywood since the "slap heard 'round the world" at the Academy Awards. In March, a man reportedly pulled out a gun at a Hollywood comedy club attended by former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. In that case, the club patron reportedly said it was a joke, not a threat, and told Tyson he was a fan. The ex-boxer is said to have responded to him with a handshake and a hug.

With the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned in the US, it’s no surprise that Canadians are asking if abortion might be banned here.
Abortion was decriminalized in Canada in 1982. Since then, politicians have made frequent attempts to roll back access to abortions in Canada.
Ontario political party leaders are officially out on the campaign trail ahead of the June 2 election. Not surprisingly, all four have had to make their stand on abortion in the province clear.

- Here's what you need to know about the Ontario election
So, where do the political leaders stand? It is important to note that while the political leaders refer to abortion as a women’s issue, it is not only women who access abortions. All patients seeking an abortion should have proper, safe and timely access to the procedure.
Doug Ford – Progressive Conservatives
Doug Ford, Leader of the Progressive Conservatives, said that he would make zero changes to abortion in the province if re-elected.
“We’re not changing anything in Ontario. We’re keeping it exactly the same,” Ford said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Depending on where you live in the province, this could be unwelcome news. Access to abortion is extremely limited outside of the southern region. Abortion providers are only located in urban centres, despite the province having a large rural population.
Ford has come under fire for PC candidate Sam Oosterhoff’s comments that he wants to make abortion “unthinkable in our lifetime.” The comment was made in 2019, and in 2021 he spoke at an event held by a group that compared abortions to the holocaust. He was a sitting MPP at the time of both incidents and was involved in re-writing Ontario’s sexual education curriculum.
A list of Ontario abortion providers, and the specific services they provide, can be found here.
Steven Del Duca – Ontario Liberals
Liberal leader Steven Del Duca has pledged to invest millions in “women’s health.” While the policy announcement doesn’t mention the word abortion at all, Del Duca said that some of the $20 million earmarked for “women’s health” will go towards abortion services.
“These are rights that cannot be taken for granted. They are frail. There are always those in society who are prepared to try to move us backwards in this regard,” Del Duca said.
He said that under a Liberal government, abortion access would be expanded. While he pledges to expand access, he has come under fire for continuing to commit funding to catholic schools in the province despite anti-abortion teachings and assignments.
Andrea Horwath – Ontario NDP
Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath put out an official statement condemning the draft opinion on Roe v. Wade the day after the news broke. She said that if elected, she would expand abortion services to more northern and rural areas of the province.
“Every woman, every person that needs abortion services should be able to get those services without any worries, without any trouble and without any lengthy waits that would prevent them from having a safe procedure,” Horwath said.
Women’s rights are always at risk. I don’t want the next generation to have to fight the same battles our moms and grandmothers did.
Let’s expand access to family planning — like making all birth control free — not roll it back. #ONpoli #RoeVWade pic.twitter.com/HcWx1W4RkL

Mike Schreiner – Ontario Greens
Green leader Mike Schreiner also condemned the draft opinion on Roe v. Wade. He acknowledged that while decriminalized, access to abortion in the province keeps a lot of hurdles in place.
“In particular, in northern, remote and rural communities, women often have to travel long distances for access to these clinics,” Schreiner tweeted.
He committed to providing funding for abortion clinics in the province if elected.
Ontario Greens understand how important standing up for women’s rights is.
That’s why we are committing funding in our costed platform to expand the number of women’s health clinics & abortion clinics in Ontario. 2/3#onpoli #WomensHealth

ONE of India’s best kept musical secrets is stunning singer and composer Suchismita.
Her wide array of achievements include being AR Rahman’s protégé, lighting up internationally acclaimed film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, singing for major Bollywood blockbusters and delivering cutting-edge singles like her recent release Damaru, which is an up-tempo EDM collaboration with renowned composer Ricky Kej. With a focus on the international market, she is looking to cross more frontiers and currently shuttles between Los Angeles and Mumbai.
Eastern Eye caught up with the classically trained artist hailing from Kolkata, to discuss her new spiritual single, close connection to music and singing hero.
What first connected you to music?
I have had a deep love of music for as long as I can remember. One key moment for me was listening to an audio cassette of legendary vocalist Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. His magical voice started that life-long connection to music, which gets stronger with each project.
Which of your songs has been closest to your heart?
All the songs I have been fortunate enough to sing are a part of me and that will never change. If I had to single out a few songs then Jagao Mere Des Ko, Desi Romance, Ek Lamha, Kinare and my most recent song release Damaru. These are very special songs for different reasons.
You have collaborated closely with AR Rahman. What is he like to work with?
I have been lucky enough to work with some great musical talents and AR sir is one of the very best we have. He is quite easy to work with as long as one can understand his thought process and expectations.
You are a versatile singer, but what genre do you most enjoy?
I have loved exploring different styles of music because each can teach you something new. Ones I particularly enjoy singing are classical based ones like thumri, dadra and ghazal. I also really love the big symphony orchestras and jazz. But beyond that, I am always open to exploring new genres.
How much has being classically trained helped you?
It helped a lot and enabled me to do such an interesting variety of work. If you know the fundamentals of a subject, it’s always a bit easier to understand the intricacies and venture into new musical territories.
What led towards your latest song Damaru?
I am an ardent follower of Lord Shiva and always wanted to compose a song on him, and that’s why Damaru happened. I am pleased with the response this track has received from all ages, including those who don’t understand the language.
How does this compare to your other songs?
I think it is unfair to compare songs because each has its own unique journey, from being created to going out into the world and making that connection with a listener. Damaru is an extremely powerful track, and has multiple elements, which is quite different from my other tracks. I enjoyed composing and co-writing the lyrics with Jataneel Banerjee. It was great working with (producer) Ricky Kej and (rapper) Maya Miko.
Musically, what can we expect next from you?
There is some really interesting collaborative work on the way with singles, albums and film work. I am looking forward to sharing a lot of new music.
Who would you love to work with?
There are so many people I would love to work with, but top of the list is Hans Zimmer. He always creates magic with his music.
Who is your own musical hero?
My musical hero is Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan because his recordings were the reason for me to choose to learn classical music. He was a master of his craft and there is so much to admire about him.
What music dominates your own playlist?
I really enjoy listening to symphony orchestras because their compositions are musically rich and always have a live feel, which I love.
What is it that inspires you as a singer as well as a composer?
I love the process of making songs, which excites me the most and rendering a song beautifully is another excitement altogether.
How much does live performance mean to you and what has been the most
memorable one?
I feel a deep connection with live performances and being on stage is the place where I belong. It is where I am most comfortable and happiest. It is difficult to mention one memorable concert as there are so many stage memories, but Jodhpur Riff was pretty amazing.
What does music mean to you?
Music means everything to me. It is who I am. It gives me freedom. It is liberation

Ex-cricketer hails women’s sport as being at ‘highest point’ as she collects MBE
Women’s sport in the UK is “at the highest point it has ever been”, according to former cricketer Ebony-Jewel Rainford-Brent as she collected her MBE at Windsor Castle.
Rainford-Brent, now a commentator, was joined by England Women’s Six Nations rugby star Emily Scarratt when receiving their honours from the Prince of Wales on Tuesday.
Speaking after the ceremony, Rainford-Brent said women’s cricket had come a long way since she started in the sport 28 years ago.
She said: “Women’s sport is at the highest point it has ever been and I think actually I feel special seeing both sides of the coin.”
Rainford-Brent was the first black woman to play for the England team after captaining the Surrey women’s team.
She has since been a pundit for Test Match Special, and was one of the first female summarisers to commentate on men’s international cricket matches. She became part of Sky Sports’ cricket commentary team in 2020.
On the future of women’s cricket, Rainford-Brent said: “I think awareness and visibility is starting to happen. Next is investment.
“I think if you look from a women’s sport perspective, we need more money going in to increase the standard which then gets more broadcasting and then it kind of creates this cycle.
“I want to see the gender pay gap closed. At the moment, there’s still a huge gap in pay for females. It is closing, but it’s still a long way to go and I would like to see that accelerated.”
Rainford-Brent was also recognised for her charity work after launching Surrey’s African-Caribbean Engagement (ACE) programme in January 2020, which aims to encourage black teenagers into cricket.
“I was honoured to be the first black woman to play but I always wanted to make sure that there were more young people that had that chance,” she said.
“It’s been a long, long journey but I think it’s an honour to be able to see the young people hopefully enjoy cricket and sport as much as it’s given me not just from a professional side, but also just developing yourself as a person.”
Scarratt, 32, arrived in Windsor just three days after the England side won their fourth consecutive Women’s Six Nations title in France.
She described collecting her MBE as “strange to do by yourself” given the nature of the team sport, but added it was a “huge honour”.
Reflecting on the progress of women’s rugby over the course of her career, she said: “Certainly since when I first started playing rugby and in the last however many years it’s just skyrocketed.
“We’ve broken attendance records at every home game we’ve had at this Six Nations, which is crazy, and I know lots of other nations have done the same at their respective venues.”
She added: “Giving these girls an opportunity to give their best by making them professional – we’ve seen the results of it by being professional ourselves – it just makes a massive, massive difference.”

May 5 sees a big set of elections across the UK. In England, there are contests across 146 councils. In London, every council seat is up for election across all 32 boroughs. Elsewhere where there are elections, at least one-third of the council seats are being contested, with some authorities holding all-out polls. There are also elections for council mayors in Croydon, Hackney, Lewisham, Newham and Tower Hamlets, plus one for South Yorkshire metro mayor.
Every council seat is also up for grabs in Scotland and Wales. There are 1,219 seats up for election across 32 local authorities in Scotland and 1,234 in Wales across 22 local authorities.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland is holding a very important election for its 90-seat Assembly.
In total, across the country, nearly 35 million people will be entitled to vote, including 16 and 17-year-olds in Scotland and Wales.
England: Labour defends councils, Johnson fights for his career
In England, Labour has the most councils to defend, 62 in total, as it is mainly metropolitan boroughs and district councils being fought, rather than county “shire” councils, which tend to be Conservative held. The Conservatives are defending 46 councils and the Liberal Democrats 12. There are 26 other authorities that are currently under no overall control of any party so aren’t considered anyone’s to “lose”. In London, Labour defends twice as many seats as the Conservatives.
The key comparison for English local elections is with 2018, as most of the councillors fighting on Thursday were elected for four-year terms back then. That year, the Conservatives and Labour tied in share of the vote, at 35% each. Current opinion polling has Labour almost six points ahead so Keir Starmer’s party can expect to make some headway, gaining a few hundred council seats.
Such gains would also represent significant improvement for Labour from last year’s local elections when the party performed poorly. Labour, on 29% of the vote, trailed the Conservatives by seven points, Boris Johnson’s party gaining 235 seats and Starmer’s losing 327. It is highly unusual for a governing party to do so well mid-term.
Since then the prime minister has been embroiled in various controversies – “partygate” being the most prominent. Labour hopes to capitalise. The Conservatives will hope that the government’s “levelling-up” money will help the party in key northern councils. That would indicate the party can hold the swath of unlikely “red wall” parliamentary constituencies gained at the 2019 general election.
A poor Conservative performance would increase the pressure already mounting on Johnson. At the moment, enough of his MPs regard him as an electoral asset to keep him in post. But that could change if the elections go very badly. If they want change, MPs must submit letters of no confidence in Johnson to Sir Graham Brady MP, the chair of their parliamentary party. Once 54 have been sent in, a vote of no confidence would be triggered.
Wales: Tories fret over a key council
In Wales, half of the councils last elected in 2017 are under no overall control. Most may remain so, although Labour, long the largest party in Westminster and Senedd/Assembly contests, may add slightly to its tally of seven councils.
The Conservatives will be anxious to hold onto their solitary council of Monmouthshire but three seat losses will push it into no overall control. Plaid Cymru should retain Gwynedd, the one council the party controls outright.
Scotland: a battle for second place
Scotland uses the “single transferable vote” system for its local elections, which contributes greatly to no party having outright control of any council – although the SNP has minority control (sometimes in coalition) of nearly half.
The SNP has remained dominant in the elections that have been held for seats in Westminster and Holyrood since the last set of local contests took place in in 2017.
In those 2017 contests, the SNP won 35% of the 1,227 council seats up for election. The Conservatives and Labour will battle for second place (and effectively leadership of the anti-independence vote, an issue which arguably pervades even local contests) having obtained 276 and 262 seats respectively. Labour might reverse the order.
Northern Ireland: a seismic shift on the horizon?
Potentially the most dramatic contest will take place in Northern Ireland. Republican party Sinn Féin starts favourite to become the largest party in a country whose title they do not use (preferring “north of Ireland” or “the North”) and which they want to replace, via a border poll, with a united Ireland.
Becoming the biggest Assembly party would allow Sinn Féin to nominate Michelle O’Neill as first minister, a post previously held by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). However, there are doubts whether a governing devolved power-sharing executive can be reconstituted. The DUP withdrew its first minister in February, which meant, under the power-sharing rules, that O’Neill also lost her job as deputy first minister (the powers of the posts are identical).
Unless the post-Brexit sea border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland is removed, the DUP says it would not cooperate in the executive. What therefore comes next after the assembly elections, whether Sinn Féin emerges as the largest party of not, is very unclear.

Lodeiro sends a ‘recadito’ to Pumas and the entire Liga MX
The Seattle Sounders managed to cut the winning streak of the Liga MX in the Concacaf Champions League by defeating the Pumas, which has generated a tide of criticism towards the auriazul team and a series of praises for the team led by Schmeitzer.
However, at the end of the match, one of the protagonists, Nicolás Lodeiro, celebrated euphorically with his teammates and sent a clear message to the Pumas and to Liga MX, indicating that they needed to ‘hit the table’.
Also read: Pumas: Morales celebrates and mocks the defeat against Seattle Sounders
“If there was a team in MLS that deserved it, it was us. I want to dedicate it to all the clubs in MLS because they make the league more competitive every day. We put Seattle in the world, and MLS gave a blow on the table breaking the hegemony of the Mexican teams”
If there is a guy who deserves all the successes and that his arrival changed the history of the team, that was ����Nicolás Lodeiro.

Lodeiro indicated that Seattle was the team that deserved to lift the trophy for what they had been doing both in Concacaf and in MLS, mentioning that in the future there may be more United States champions, but the first will never be forgotten.
“It means a lot because the club deserved it, we kept fighting for the finals and winning for many years, we deserved this title. The MLS deserved a continental title, and being the first will go down in history. Then surely others will win it, but the first is never forgotten

Shares in UK Oil & Gas PLC recorded their best one-day share rise in nearly five years on Thursday after the Environment Agency granted a full production permit for its Horse Hill oil field onshore England.
The AIM-listed company said that, to date, the project had operated under the umbrella of prior testing consents, which excluded any ability to reinject produced saline formation water.
UKOG, which owns 85.635% of Horse Hill, said it can now convert the Horse Hill-2z well into a water injector during 2022. This removes the need for costly transportation and disposal of saline formation water, it said.
Shares at 0842 GMT were up 0.08 pence, or 68% at 0.19 pence, marking its best one-day percentage rise since June 2017.
Shares of Alba Mineral, which has an 11.765% interest in the field, were up 0.02 pence, or 24%, at 0.24 pence.
"We look forward to hearing of the operator's plans for enhancing productivity and delivering on the inherent, and to date largely untapped, value of the Horse Hill oil field," Alba's Chairman George Frangeskides said.

Specialty Films Market Is Poised To Expand Steadily at a CAGR Of 4.9% During The Forecast Period 2026
NEWARK, NEWARK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, May 5, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Packaging is widely observed as one of the largest marketplace, with products finding applications in several industrial verticals. Specialty films remains a key commodity in the packaging world, and advent of new products entails the use of advanced packaging films.

In 2017, more than US$ 18 Bn worth of barrier films are estimated to be sold in the global specialty films market. While the demand for anti-fog films is likely to dwindle towards the latter half of the forecast period, the report projects that conductive films will register rapid sales through 2026. Over the forecast period, conductive films are expected to register a value CAGR of 7.1%.
APEJ to Dominate Global Specialty Films Market
A regional forecast on the global specialty films market has been provided in the report, which reveals that the Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) region will register highest sales of specialty films.

High Demand for Barrier Films; Conductive Films to Register Fastest Sales
In terms of products sold in the global specialty films market, barrier films are pegged to incur highest share on global market value. In 2017, more than US$ 18 Bn worth of barrier films are estimated to be sold in the global specialty films market. While the demand for anti-fog films is likely to dwindle towards the latter half of the forecast period, the report projects that conductive films will register rapid sales through 2026. Over the forecast period, conductive films are expected to register a value CAGR of 7.1%.
APEJ to Dominate Global Specialty Films Market
A regional forecast on the global specialty films market has been provided in the report, which reveals that the Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) region will register highest sales of specialty films. The report further reveals that Europe and APEJ will be representing the leading markets for specialty films, followed by North America. Higher presence of food and beverage companies in the APEJ and Europe regions is expected to drive the sales of specialty films, pertaining to their greater end-use in these regions. Over the forecast period, the APEJ specialty films market is likely to expand at the highest CAGR of 7%, while sales of specialty films in European countries will attain a sub-par growth.
Further analysis from the report reveals that food & beverage industry will remain the largest end-user of specialty films. Throughout the forecast period, more than two-fifth of specialty films sold in the global market will be used for packaging of food items and beverages. The report also reveals that a majority of specialty films being produced in the global market will be made of polyethylene materials. Low density of PE specialty films, coupled with their abilities in terms of water and thermal resistance and durability, will drive their sales globally through 2026.

The celebration of world Quds days this year was exceptionally distinguished due to many reasons inside and outside Palestine.
As for Palestine itself, the commemoration of the day that was first initiated by late Imam Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, was very significant this year, the Palestinian resistance has proved its efficiency and the Palestinian people have further demonstrated their commitment to liberate their country from the ‘Israeli’ occupation.
The Palestinians who have held a permanent sit in inside the holy al-Aqsa Mosque have confronted the ‘Israeli’ occupation forces and the Zionist settlers who attempted many times to storm the mosque, tens of thousands of Palestinians have flocked to the place to defend their sacred shrine.
The Palestinian youth also, have proved their sober attention and their awareness and keenness to defend the cause as they carried many courageous operations against the enemies killing many of them.
This has put the Palestinian issue in the front of the events and proved all the ‘Israeli’ efforts to subjugate their will are meaningless.
Moreover, the spread of the celebrations of the International Quds Day all over the world have shown clearly that no matter how hard the enemies and their collaborators have tried to brainwash the Islamic Umma about its first cause, the Muslim people still prioritize Palestine as their first and most important cause.
Muslims this year, and after so many years of conspiracies to busy them with different internal crises all over, have slapped the world arrogance and its proxy governments in the Arab and Islamic world in the face and proved how genuine and real their commitment to Palestine and the Aqsa is.
This is very promising, as it clearly shows the kind of synchronization and deep harmony on three levels:
First, the presence and readiness of the Palestinians in the battlefield to defend their cause, especially among the young generation whether they belong to certain organized groups or not.
Second, the high efficiency and self-confidence among the Palestinian resistance groups, especially Hamas and Islamic jihad to consolidate the defense equation they produced and to intensify their efforts and go into a new confrontation to defend their people and cause.
Third, the crystallization of the forces of the Axis of Resistance and their consensus to consider al-Quds as the center and heart of this axis.
The speeches delivered by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah on the occasion have shown a fixed commitment to support and defend the cause.
This threefold coordination along with the commemoration of the event all over the world with rising awareness as shown by the mounting numbers of participators prove that the ‘Israelis’ have almost lost the battle of awareness.
Moreover, the kind of reactions the ‘Israeli’ leadership is making clearly proves it has lost control. Through tough measures, military incursions, and continuous aggressions, it is showing the world its ugly face of being an apartheid criminal regime that gives no value or respect to laws and regulations or human rights. This hopefully will deepen its crisis of legitimacy it is suffering from in the eyes of the international community and the world’s public opinion.
All observers agree that a new horizon is on the making now in Palestine. A horizon of hope that will usher in a new era, an era of systematic gradual liberation, independence and victory.

Party insiders claim calls for such a coalition have been growing louder since CCC interim party leader, Nelson Chamisa, called on opposition parties to join forces with them at their maiden rally at White City Stadium in Bulawayo on March 5, 2022.
In his words, Chamisa said: “We are saying to ZAPU, Lovemore Moyo come, let’s work together and to all those who are in the other parties to come. This is not about positions, it’s about the change we want for the people in Zimbabwe.
Sources noted the party’s districts want ZAPU to pass this resolution at its highest decision-making body, the National People’s Council (NPC) but the council has not yet sat after its elective congress.
ZAPU spokesperson, Msongelwa Ndlovu, refuted these claims saying no formal invitation was made by CCC to the party.
However, sources alleged Chamisa sent emissaries to meet ZAPU president, Sibangilizwe Nkomo, for that formal invitation but he has been giving them the runaround.
“After the invitation from Chamisa, ZAPU leadership have been dilly dallying but membership, after the by-elections, has become restless. Districts, such as Matabeleland North are pushing their province to pass a resolution at NPC or at the provincial council, for ZAPU to go into an electoral pact with Chamisa for our survival. We can’t afford to lose another election and hope to be a serious party after 2023,” sources said.
“If the party can get even five seats, even at local authority level, it will be for our survival. At least we will have access to funds. This is what people are saying, ‘let’s go into a coalition with Chamisa.’ People are pushing an agenda that is not being pushed by their leader.”
Sources further alleged that out of frustration, some senior party members were ‘strongly’ thinking of leaving the party.
“Their belief is ZAPU is not making progress so it’s time to change tactic and have this coalition,” sources said.
Party insiders added the party was in financial doldrums, as it had not even paid its polling agents.
“There is a high likelihood that even next year, we can fail to pay our polling agents. Plus we have a candidate crisis, consider this, our council candidate that was fielded at Njube for the by-election was our former MP candidate in the previous elections, so there’s no depth,” sources said.
“What also depressed people is in Matabeleland North where the president was campaigning, the party lost. Therefore, the clear message from people is we need to be relevant and our relevance comes from the coalition.”
ZAPU spokesperson emphasized that a serious invitation about a serious political problem cannot be made at a public rally if they were to find a serious political solution.
“ZAPU’s NPC being the highest decision-making organ of the party between congress cannot be privately engaged with a matter raised for the public gallery,” Ndlovu said.
He, however, said party members are allowed and encouraged to discuss the direction they wish their party to take for its survival and growth.
“Consultations are ongoing and the party will stand guided by what our members want,” said the spokesperson, highlighting that there were consultations on any possible coalitions by their members.
“For now, we’re preoccupied with building the party in preparation for 2023. We’re seized with crafting an irresistible programme of action, which will provide us with the roadmap to 2023 and beyond. The survival of ZAPU depends on this road map, its acceptability by our people and our application thereof. Anything in between will be a bonus.”

Rihanna once sang about diamonds, but maybe a gold grill from A$AP Rocky will do?
On May 5, the rapper, 33, dropped the romantic music video for his new single titled "D.M.B." and he cast his girlfriend—who is currently expecting their first child—as his leading lady.
In the video, Rihanna, 34, appears as a bride, wearing a red wedding dress and matching veil, while carrying a bouquet of red roses. The camera pans to a grinning A$AP, whose gold teeth spell out the words, "Marry me?" In response, the "What's My Name" singer flashes her own bedazzled gold grill reading, "I do."
In the song, A$AP seems to confess his love for Rihanna, rapping, "My angel and my Goddess, when my head get clouded/My head get cloudy, my thoughts get cloudy/You're my soulmate, my Goddess (My soulmate)/And baby (I fell in love with you)."
After years of remaining pals, A$AP and the Fenty Beauty founder began dating in 2020. The Anti singer told Vogue last month that the rapper was initially in the "friend zone," but things became more serious between the two during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"He became my family in that time," she told the magazine, adding, "I love the simple things but also the grand adventures. There's no pretentious my-brand-your-brand bullsh-t, it's just us living. I just feel like I can do any part of life by his side."
Now A$AP and Rihanna are preparing to take the next step in their relationship by becoming parents. In March, the "Diamonds" singer—who is currently in her third trimester—shared the best guidance she's received since announcing the pregnancy.
"Probably the best advice is to sleep now because I won't get much later," she told Elle. "I need to work on that before it's a thing of the past." | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1329833/a-ap-rocky-proposes-to-rihanna-with-gold-teeth-in-new-music-video | 2022-05-05T20:30:04Z | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1329833/a-ap-rocky-proposes-to-rihanna-with-gold-teeth-in-new-music-video | true | 4 |

Building Solutions Asia Pacific: Revenues grew to $623 million, up 5% year over year on higher project installations and services, driven by strong growth in Commercial Applied HVAC & Controls and Industrial Refrigeration equipment.

Global Products: Revenues in this segment climbed to $2,290 million, increasing 16% year over year, mainly on higher sales in Commercial and Residential HVAC and Fire & Security.

Guidance

Five seniors who will be crucial for Auburn
Auburn's senior class is filled with talented, veteran players who are key figures on this Auburn football team, on and off the field. Taking a look at five (six) who will end up being crucial for Auburn this fall:
NOTE: This is part four of a series looking at players in each class (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.). Players class is determined by what Auburn lists them as on the athletics website, not how long they've been on campus. I.e. Jayson Jones, who transferred in and is listed as a sophomore by Auburn is treated as a sophomore in this piece.
Derick Hall and Eku Leota — EDGE
Getting both EDGE rushers Derick Hall and Eku Leota back is a problem... for opposing defenses. Hall took a step forward last year and Leota transferred in and the two quickly built chemistry attacking the quarterback.
Hall racked up 52 tackles, nine sacks and two forced fumbles. Had he gone to the NFL Draft he probably could've been selected, but instead, he opted to return and has stepped up as the leader of not just the EDGE group or the defense, but the team as a whole. He's a passionate, vocal character in the locker room and on the field.
Opposite him is Leota, who had 23 tackles, seven sacks and a forced fumble. The two back for another year, with a more aggressive defensive coordinator in Jeff Schmedding should prove to be fun to watch this fall.
"Those two guys, they played for us, and I think those two guys have had a really good spring," Bryan Harsin said. "From the standpoint of coaching both those players, they're going to give you great effort. They're always going to work hard. I think they feed off each other.
"Derick's a tremendous leader. Eku is a guy that has really done a great job. So those two guys in particular are showing up every single day — weight room, football field, you name it."
Shedrick Jackson — WR
After a combined 10 career catches in his first three seasons on the Plains, Jackson broke out and was second on the team in both receptions and yardage with 40 and 527, respectively.
In a young wide receiver room, getting Jackson back for a fifth year to help lead the room was a major boost for Auburn.
Jackson isn't the fastest receiver out there, but is a plus blocker who's shown improvement in his route running and catching abilities to go alongside his 6-foot-2 frame.
Offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau described him as the "glue guy" of the WR room, and Auburn will be counting on him to do that and make some big plays this fall.
Nehemiah Pritchett — CB
Another CB who's being counted on to help replace the Roger McCreary void, Nehemiah Pritchett played a little nickel and on the outside last year as Auburn tried to find any way to get him, McCreary and Jaylin Simpson on the field all at once.
Now Pritchett should be able to play mostly on the outside and have a chance to establish himself as Auburn's next top corner.
In 2020 Pritchett had 25 tackles, 10 passes deflected and an interception. He was working his way onto mock drafts before the 2021 season started. His stock dipped a little in 2021, though, but he still put up 27 tackles, five passes deflected and an interception.
There's no reason that with a season as Auburn's CB1 he can't work his way back up and become the next Auburn corner to be drafted.
John Samuel Shenker — TE
Auburn got a double dose of good news this spring when John Samuel Shenker announced his plan to return for a fifth year and that he'd be playing football this spring, rather than playing baseball like he had the past two years.
It's not like the record-breaking tight end really needed to go through spring practice, but that added time and work with the offense certainly can't hurt him as he looks to one-up his 2021 campaign.
Shenker caught a combined 15 passes his first three years at Auburn and promptly blew that out of the water last year with 33 receptions for 413 yards.
The tight end room is extremely deep so there's not a ton of pressure on Shenker, but "'Ole Reliable" should be on the field plenty this fall to help compliment the offense.
Owen Pappoe — LB
Zakoby McClain and Chandler Wooten are gone, so all the pressure falls to Owen Pappoe to lead the linebacker room this fall.
Pappoe was a standout as a freshman and racked up 93 tackles in 2020, but injuries derailed his 2021 season and he wasn't the same player when he tried to return before being shut down for the season.
To clear things up and try and get him back to full health, Pappoe opted to have an offseason procedure done and missed spring practice. Getting him back and healthy will end up being a key part of Auburn's defense this fall.
Cam Riley and Wesley Steiner have shown improvements, plus you add in transfer Eugene Asante, but Auburn needs Pappoe to command that room. | https://auburn.rivals.com/news/five-seniors-who-will-be-crucial-for-auburn | 2022-05-05T20:41:50Z | https://auburn.rivals.com/news/five-seniors-who-will-be-crucial-for-auburn | true | 1 |

Pa. Senate poll: John Fetterman takes commanding lead among Dems; Dr. Oz and David McCormick in tight battle for GOP top spot
While Republicans remain split over their own candidates, more than half of all the registered Democratic voters who were surveyed by Franklin and Marshall College in late April said they plan to vote for John Fetterman in the U.S. Senate primary, according to a poll released Thursday.
Fetterman, Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, leads U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb 53% to 14% in the new poll, which surveyed 357 registered Democrats from April 20 to May 1. State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta registered in third place at 4%, with Jenkintown Councilwoman Alex Khalil trailing the pack at 1%.
This represents a 12-point bump for Fetterman since the last F&M poll, conducted in early April when he was at 41%. In that time frame, Lamb dropped 3 points and Kenyatta didn't move the needle.

In the GOP field for Senate, there's no clear frontrunner in the new poll of 325 registered Republicans, but Dr. Mehmet Oz appeared to get a slight bump in the last month from former President Donald Trump's endorsement.
Oz polls at 18% among registered Republicans, with former hedge fund CEO Dave McCormick trailing closely behind — within the margin of error — at 16%. Conservative commentator Kathy Barnette saw the biggest bump in comparison to the pollster's previous survey, jumping to 12%. Trailing the pack were former U.S. ambassador Carla Sands at 5%, businessman Jeff Bartos at 2% and attorney Sean Gale at 1%.
The new poll registered small bumps for Oz and McCormick in comparison to the early April poll, of 2 points and 1 point, respectively. Barnette was at 7% in the previous survey.
The heavily contested race for the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania governor has a clear hierarchy. State Sen. Doug Mastriano is in the lead with 20%, followed by former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain at 12%, former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta at 11% and businessman Dave White at 8%.
Former U.S. Rep. Melissa Hart and Dr. Nche Zama checked in at 2% and the rest — State Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale and political consultant Charlie Gerow — at 1%.
On both sides of the aisle, there's room for movement in the final two-week stretch before the May 17 primary.
The saving grace for Lamb and Kenyatta's prospects in the Democratic primary, at least according to this poll, is that 22% are still undecided about who they'll choose — and 51% of those who named a preference said they could change their mind about their choice before Election Day.
Of the Republicans surveyed, 39% were undecided in the Senate race, and 57% of those who favor a candidate believe they could opt for someone else down the line.
In the race for governor, 34% said they were undecided and 53% — of those who chose — signaled they were not firm in their cited choice.
The new F&M poll is the first test of the U.S. Senate race after a handful of big developments.
For Democrats, it's the first poll that's given time for the criticisms against Fetterman to sink in; the first televised debate was April 22, at the beginning of this polling period, and saw Fetterman face scrutiny over his electability.
Lamb and Kenyatta started to more forcefully levy those critiques against Fetterman in early April.
In the new poll, Fetterman's favorability is at 67% among registered Democrats with Lamb at 46%. But more than a third of the sampled Democrats — 39% — said they don't know enough to have an opinion about Lamb, compared to 21% who said the same about Fetterman.
As for the Republicans, it wasn't until the very end of the last polling period that Trump endorsed Oz, seen by insiders as a potential game-changer in the primary. The time frame of the new F&M survey began more than a week after the endorsement.
Among the Trump faction of GOP voters in the new survey, Oz and Barnette lead with 19% and 18%, respectively. McCormick, meanwhile, leads the traditional GOP faction at 28%. | https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/local/pennsylvania/2022/05/05/pa-senate-poll-john-fetterman-takes-commanding-lead-among-dems-dr-oz-and-david-mccormick-tight-battl/9659713002/ | 2022-05-05T20:46:08Z | https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/local/pennsylvania/2022/05/05/pa-senate-poll-john-fetterman-takes-commanding-lead-among-dems-dr-oz-and-david-mccormick-tight-battl/9659713002/ | true | 2 |

Little Mix has been getting emotional during their concerts as they approach the end of their Confetti Tour and inch closer towards their hiatus.
The Little Mix ladies are rapidly heading towards the end of their Confetti Tour, meaning that everyone is feeling just a little bit emotional.
Last year, the trio announced that they would be going on a hiatus following the conclusion of their tour, their last concert is scheduled for May 14 – not long to go until Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall focus on their solo projects!
How To Join In And Make The Most Of Little Mix’s Last Tour
Not only are the fans getting in their feels about the 'end' of Little Mix, but the girls themselves are too! Earlier this week at their Cardiff show, the girl group was visibly fighting back tears onstage.
As the musicians belted out their friendship anthem 'Between Us', they got choked up knowing that their days touring as a three-piece were coming to an end.
Concertgoers took to social media to talk about the heartwarming moment at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena on May 3.
One user posted: "All three of the Little Mix girls cried during Between Us last night and were unable to finish singing."
A clip of the band singing the song circulated on Twitter, as Little Mix struggled to sing through the tears, Jade asked the crowd to help out: "Please, do me a favour and sing it will ya?"
Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne turned their microphones to the audience during the emotional song from their greatest hits album.
Little Mix embarked on their last tour on April 9, which will see the ladies complete 28 shows in total. The Confetti Tour finale will take place at London's O2 Arena on May 14.

Lil Durk is giving back to his community in a big way and we love to see it! As a native from Chicago, it’s well known that its not always easy staying on the right track or making a positive impact on your community. Durk is determined to use his platform for the greater good.
Durk went to speak to a group of young kids to help inspire them and encourage them to be goal driven and stay out the streets. He emphasized the pursuit of higher education through his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation. Just this week the non profit organization kicked off their Career Readiness program and partnered with several organizations to change the lives of twenty students.
The Career Readiness program will offer twenty students the opportunity to go on an HBCU college tour and visit various institutions in Atlanta. Participants will also get the chance to experience the YellaWood 500, the NASCAR Playoffs at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
It doesn’t just end there for the kids that are involved with Neighborhood Heroes! The foundation will fly a segment of young men to New York City to meet with C-Suite executives from Sony, Alamo Records, and the NY Knicks! They will get he opportunity to shadow seasoned professionals that look like them and hear similar stories of their upbringings.
Durk can’t necessarily take all of the credit for these awesome strides to make a difference. The foundation thanked several partners, including; The White Sox, Champs Mentoring, the Sigma Omega Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc, Nascar, and their driver Bubba Wallace. Lastly, Michael Jordan’s 23 Eleven Racing Team for hosting the students.
Big Shoutout Lil Durk and his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation. We look forward to following their journey.

JOEY Essex hopped into bed with a Miss Universe winner as sparks flew after meeting on I'm A Celebrity Australia.
Joey, 31, got cosy with Maria Thatill overnight after she asked if he wanted a "cuddle".
The show's mics picked up Joey making noises as he appeared to share a kiss with the stunning model, 28.
Their steamy embrace was clocked by David Subritzky who looked shocked.
Meanwhile excited country singer Brooke McClymont told the jungle hut: "Ooooh! Maria and Joey are making out. They're pashing!"
Viewers have been anticipating the on-screen romance as they flirted in camp.
Describing her perfect type, Maria said: "I like people who are adventurous, creative and open."
Cheeky Joey replied: "I've pretty much got all them things. If there was a piece of paper with a load of boxes, I reckon every one would be ticked."
Most read in Showbiz
He then told the jungle hut: "It's nice to have someone in here who I can talk to, who I can be with in a friendly way but at the same time, something is there."
According to reports, Joey is being paid an incredible sum of money to appear on I'm A Celebrity Australia.
The reality star is currently one of 12 celebs taking part in eighth series of the Aussie version of the popular ITV show.
The 31-year-old former Towie star made his debut on the Network 10 programme, which was filmed back in Dungay back in September 2021, last week.
And reports have claimed that Joe was paid £211,000 to take part.
Sources also revealed that there were discussions between Joey and the producers about getting him involved in a potential "romance" with another campmate.
The source added: "They were hoping to recreate a love story similar to Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher.
"He's no stranger to reality television and ITV knew that he could deliver what they wanted without second thought."
And things are certainly steaming up between Joey and model Maria Thattil in the Australian jungle.
The Miss Universe Australia 2020 winner, 28, said that they've "really hit it off".
She confessed: “I like people who are adventurous, creative and open.”
Joey responded with: “I’ve pretty much got all them things.
"If there was a piece of paper with a load of boxes, I reckon everyone would be ticked.”
It comes after Joey was left scared for life when he got disoriented in freezing cold water surrounded by terrifying creatures in a recent trial.
He fell victim to the harsh temperatures and became disoriented as he lost oxygen, needing emergency divers to rescue him.
In the challenge, Joey had to swim through a freezing pool covered with plexiglass towards holes - and when he found the hole, he had to swim towards an 'ice block' filled with creepy crawlies to retrieve gold stars.
After retrieving the stars, Joey had to swim back towards hosts Julia Morris and Chris Brown.
But on his swim back he began to run out of oxygen and became very disoriented.
Comedian Julia who is normally full of jokes, turned very serious and called for an emergency diver to get in to save Joey from drowning.
Joey is the only British celeb taking part this year, and is joined by the likes of former NRL player and TV presenter Beau Ryan, radio host Dylan Lewis and Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm are among those taking part.
This isn't the first time Joey has taken part in the popular show.
The Essex lad placed fourth in British version of I'm A Celebrity...

The YWCA Charleston on Thursday announced plans to expand its racial equity program, moving it into its standalone building at 412 Elizabeth Street on the city's East End.
The organization had been leasing the space to a tenant who operated East End Phoenix, an artisan shop. The space had also been the site of the YWCA’s former Second Seating used furniture store.
When its tenant decided to leave last month, it couldn’t have come at a better time, said YWCA Charleston CEO Debby Weinstein.
“We had been chomping at the bit to figure out how we can have a building where we can do our racial equity and inclusion work, where we can have community meetings about complex issues around racial equity and inclusion, where we can do implicit bias training, allyship training, privilege training. And lo and behold, here we are at the YWCA Center for Racial Equity and Inclusion," Weinstein said.
Shante Ellis started as the YWCA’s director of racial equity and inclusion in September.
“Since then, we have facilitated discussions with over 1,100 people on the topics of implicit bias, meaning allyship, understanding privilege and acting with intent,” Ellis said. “We also have forged new partnerships that increased outreach with local schools.
“The YWCA Center for Racial Equity and Inclusion will allow us to be accessible to the community and expand our program and to create a welcoming, safe and brave space where uncomfortable conversations and healing can happen for all people,” Ellis said.
Once renovated, the building will offer a community library with books for children and adults where people can learn about history and culture, Ellis said. The center also plans to offer conference space and a fun, engaging space for children's activities and education, she said.
“I was once a teacher, so I use education as my platform, always and forever,” Ellis said. “And so, I always use opportunities to educate in any way that I can. Children will always hold a special place in my heart. Providing those opportunities for them that they normally wouldn't have is very important to me.”
West Virginia American Water on Thursday also announced a $125,000 donation to the YWCA, which helps the organization toward its goal of raising a total of $2 million toward its racial justice endowment.
“It’s a great leg along the way to reaching our $2 million goal,” Weinstein said of the water company’s donation.
An anonymous donor has also contributed $500,000 if the organization can match it, she said.
As the center moves into the building, the program will add a staff member and an intern, Weinstein said.
Ellis said she hopes to open the new center by the beginning of 2023. | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/kanawha_valley/ywca-charleston-to-expand-racial-equity-program/article_514a0554-e663-5ab4-8a5a-065cbd84d4d9.html | 2022-05-05T20:57:36Z | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/kanawha_valley/ywca-charleston-to-expand-racial-equity-program/article_514a0554-e663-5ab4-8a5a-065cbd84d4d9.html | true | 1 |
