- Lynn Good says company 'leading largest clean energy transition' in U.S.
- Customer focus, energy affordability remain key priorities.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) in 2021 continued to make rapid progress in its multi-year transition to clean energy sources, Chair, President and CEO Lynn Good told investors during the company's annual shareholders meeting today.
"Our more than 27,000 teammates rallied behind our mission to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050," she said. "Our promise is to continue this momentum. Our five-year enterprise capital plan includes $63 billion of investment, and 80% is directed to our clean energy transition."
Good cited several milestones:
- "We surpassed 10,000 megawatts of owned, operated or purchased renewables on our system, and remain on track to reach 16,000 megawatts of renewables by 2025 and 24,000 megawatts by 2030.
- "We filed for Subsequent License Renewal of Oconee Nuclear Station – our largest nuclear plant – and we plan to file requests for our remaining units to maintain this vital source of carbon-free energy for another 20 years.
- "We worked with stakeholders to help achieve bipartisan support in what's been called the most comprehensive piece of energy legislation in North Carolina history – setting the course for carbon reduction and regulatory reform.
- "We look forward to delivering a Carbon Plan to the North Carolina Utilities Commission later this month that will map out a variety of paths to achieve a 70% carbon reduction.
- "We continued to oversee the largest planned retirement of coal in our industry. We retired almost 1,000 megawatts of coal between the Carolinas and Indiana – bringing us to 7,500 megawatts retired since 2010."
"Already in 2022, we've taken aggressive action, expanding our net-zero emissions goal to include Scope 2 and certain Scope 3 emissions. We also announced we're targeting energy from coal to represent less than 5% of our total generation by 2030, and a full exit by 2035," she said.
"We look forward to continued progress on our goals across our jurisdictions – retiring coal units, adding renewables and battery storage, investing in the grid, advocating for new zero-emission technologies, and collaborating with state and federal policymakers, regulators and stakeholders to meet the unique needs of each state," Good said.
Customer focus, energy affordability
In 2021, "we continued to surpass our benchmark targets for our internal customer satisfaction metrics, and improved our J.D. Power rankings, year over year, in nearly all of our jurisdictions," she said.
Duke Energy also continued to actively work to keep energy affordable for customers.
The company offered energy-saving tips and innovative efficiency programs to help customers manage and reduce their energy use. For example, the Home Energy House Call is a free in-home energy assessment that provides customers with comprehensive information about how they use energy – and strategies to save money on their monthly energy bills.
In addition, Duke Energy worked aggressively to assist financially struggling customers – offering customized bill-payment programs, connecting customers to financial assistance programs run by government agencies and nonprofit organizations, and donating funds to community organizations that help individuals and families in need.
The company in 2021 established a dedicated team of customer advocates to partner with government assistance agencies and nonprofit organizations. Through this model, the company helped customers receive more than $100 million in financial support to help pay their energy bills.
Duke Energy also assisted low-income customers with utility bills, providing $3.2 million through the Share the Light Fund and other donations.
Other business
Also at today's meeting:
- Good fielded shareholder questions on a range of topics. The company will post responses to questions on its website.
- Shareholders elected all 14 nominees to the company's board of directors.
- A nonbinding shareholder proposal did not receive a majority of shareholder votes cast.
A replay of the meeting will be posted on Duke Energy's investors page.

Citroen’s ‘Posh’ arm DS has revealed a prototype of the DS E-Tense Performance Concept which uses motor regen instead of brakes.
It’s six years since the first DS E-Tense Concept arrived, just a year after DS was created as a standalone Citroen brand, and was said to preview a future DS GT EV with a healthy 396bhp powered by a 53kWh battery and good for 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds.
Of course, it didn’t turn into a production model, but in February DS was back with a new take on the DS E Tense with the DS E Tense Performance Concept, still in a strange shade of green but this time around sporting a drivetrain nicked from DS’s Formula E single-seater with a whopping 793bhp and good for 62mph in just 2.0 seconds.
Now DS is back with a new prototype of the E Tense Performance, and this time it has no brakes. Yes, you read that right – no brakes.
Instead of brakes to bring the car to a stop, DS has decided it can be done using just regenerative braking from the electric motors.
Of course, we already see EVs offering a degree of regen braking, and in many EVs you can ‘One Pedal’ drive, using the accelerator as a means to slow down. And, especially in town, it soon becomes intuitive and a lot easier than constantly prodding the brake pedal.
Beatrice Foucher, DS CEO, said:
Formula E is about maximising performance and efficiency, and the DS E TENSE PERFORMANCE is our vision of a road car utilising our race-winning technology. Regenerative braking is a very powerful way to not only slow the vehicle down, but also help improve battery performance. The DS E TENSE PERFORMANCE takes the technology to a new level, with regenerative braking used solely to slow the vehicle down. | https://www.carsuk.net/electric-ds-e-tense-performance-an-ev-with-no-brakes/ | 2022-05-06T03:16:54Z | https://www.carsuk.net/electric-ds-e-tense-performance-an-ev-with-no-brakes/ | false | 1 |

Building collapse in China's Changsha kills 53
Article content
Fifty-three people died when a housing block collapsed in the Chinese city of Changsha last week, state broadcaster CCTV reported on Friday after days of rescue efforts.
Rescuers have pulled 10 survivors from the rubble of the eight-story “self-built” house in Hunan province that collapsed on April 29, according to CCTV.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation by local authorities and several people have been arrested, according to the report.

Portland's Jamieson Ballantyne selected in Young Guns side against Vic Metro under 18s on Saturday
Greater Western Victoria Rebels coach David Loader says Portland prospect Jamieson Ballantyne has the ability to have an impact at AFL level if given the opportunity.
The young midfielder has been selected in the Young Guns side for its clash against Vic Metro Under 18s on Saturday in Werribee - one of two Hampden league prospects alongside Camperdown's Hamish Sinnott.
"Boys like Jamieson with little to no football because of COVID, we still saw improvement in him 2021, him being a nice type to becoming a really, really good player," Loader told The Standard.
"Jamieson is one that has built on and put in a couple more layers to his game.
"He's such a wonderful kid to work with, he's a star of a person to work with.
He's such a wonderful kid to work with, and he's a star of a person.
David Loader
"So I couldn't think of a better person to have his named called (from an AFL club) to go onto a list at some point."
The top Victorian mid-season draft hopefuls will be under the watchful eye of AFL recruiters, who will be looking to bolster their lists ahead of the mid-season draft on Wednesday June 1.
Loader said it was a terrific opportunity for Ballantyne, who had worked 'incredibly' hard on areas of his game.
"He's been solid so far, he didn't play last weekend he had a game with the Western Bulldogs VFL side which is a wonderful experience for him to play against AFL-listed players," he said.
"Anytime our kids can get the chance (to play VFL) it's a great experience.
"We've changed his role a bit this year, he's gone from being an outside mid type player to playing inside mid.
"So with that can come some small adjustments and obviously a bit more contested footy.
"He's put five kilos on of pure muscle since last year so he's better physically prepared in those contested situations."
Loader said the mid-season draft was a unique opportunity for emerging youngsters across the country, especially with COVID-19 still impacting AFL clubs greatly.
"The mid-season draft will be purely needs basis, if a club has two ruckman go down in the next two weeks then all of a sudden they'll be in demand," he said.
"Same with small forwards or midfielders so it'll be really different, the mid-season draft will be needs basis."
Camperdown prospect Hamish Sinnott - plying his trade with the Rebels in the NAB League and pushing his case with Carlton's VFL side - is another to watch on the day in the Young Guns team.
The endurance specialist is on the Blues' VFL list, coached by Warrnambool export Dan O'Keefe, and piqued interest from AFL clubs coming through the NAB League program last season.

Bidens host Mexico first lady at Cinco de Mayo celebration
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden marked Cinco de Mayo on Thursday by honoring the impact that Mexican Americans and other immigrant communities have had in the United States as he hosted a White House party with Mexico’s first lady as the guest of honor.
Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller, wife of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, joined Biden and first lady Jill Biden for the Rose Garden reception that featured tables draped in orange, blue, lime-green and other party colors.
“We are an immigrant nation. We say that, but people act like they don’t believe it,” said Biden who briefly left the podium to personally greet Gutiérrez Müller. “That is our strength.”
The president urged lawmakers to approve an immigration overhaul he sent to Congress his first week in office that remains stalled. He said that if that measure does not pass, action could still be taken on smaller initiatives that have bipartisan support, including protecting people brought to the United States illegally as children.
About 100 attendees ate steak tacos, pork tamales, empanadas, ceviche, jicama salad and watermelon, as well as chocolate-dipped churros. Margaritas on the rocks, beer and other drink options, were also served, as a chef mashed avocados for guacamole in a large molcajete.
The day marks Mexico’s triumph on May 5, 1862, over the French in the Battle of Puebla, where Mexican soldiers beat back Napoleon III’s forces despite being vastly outnumbered. Cinco de Mayo has become more popular in the United States than it is in much of Mexico. It gives Mexican Americans a chance to celebrate Mexican heritage, but the day also is heavily promoted for commercial purposes by beer and snack companies.
“Our relationship with Mexico is special,” Jill Biden said, adding, “Joe always says that politics is personal. And I’m grateful to continue building our friendship.”
U.S. presidents from both parties have tried to use Cinco de Mayo to celebrate the contributions of Mexican-Americans — a growing and powerful voting bloc.
The exception was President Donald Trump, whose centerpiece campaign promise before his 2016 election was vowing to wall off the entire U.S.-Mexico border. The 45th president didn’t attend Cinco de Mayo ceremonies, though he released statements, including one in 2018, that hailed “the significant contributions of Mexican Americans to the United States.”
Trump also tweeted about the holiday before being banned from the social media site. As a candidate in 2016, he wrote that “I love Hispanics” while lauding the taco bowls on the menu at the Trump Tower office building in Manhattan.
Last year, Biden commemorated the day by visiting a Washington taqueria that had benefited from Biden administration program to help eateries that lost business because of the coronavirus pandemic.

NEW YORK, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) (NYSE: ED) today reported 2022 first quarter net income for common stock of $602 million or $1.70 a share compared with $419 million or $1.23 a share in the 2021 first quarter. Adjusted earnings were $522 million or $1.47 a share in the 2022 period compared with $491 million or $1.44 a share in the 2021 period. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2022 and 2021 periods exclude the effects of hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) accounting for tax equity investments in certain renewable and sustainable electric projects of Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (the Clean Energy Businesses) and the net mark-to-market effects of the Clean Energy Businesses. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2022 period exclude the tax impact on the parent company of HLBV accounting and mark-to-market effects of the Clean Energy Businesses. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2021 period exclude the impact of the impairment loss related to Con Edison's investment in Stagecoach Gas Services LLC (Stagecoach).
"Our innovative and engaged employees are enabling us to lead the transition to a clean energy future while delivering safe, reliable service to our customers and providing strong, stable returns to our investors," said Timothy P. Cawley, the chairman and chief executive officer of Con Edison. "During the quarter, we helped our customers surpass 400 megawatts of solar capacity, placed another battery project into service, and continued installing curbside chargers with New York City. We are building transmission lines under our Reliable Clean City program to support renewable energy in New York City and proposing solar investments to benefit our low-income customers."
For the year of 2022, Con Edison reaffirmed its previous forecast of adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.40 to $4.60 per share. Adjusted earnings per share exclude the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity investments in certain renewable and sustainable electric projects of the Clean Energy Businesses and the related tax impact of such HLBV accounting on the parent company (approximately $40 million or $0.11 a share after-tax) and the net mark-to-market effects of the Clean Energy Businesses and the related tax impact of such mark-to-market effects on the parent company, the amounts of which will not be determinable until year end. Con Edison is considering strategic alternatives with respect to its Clean Energy Businesses. Con Edison's forecast of adjusted earnings per share for the year of 2022 does not include the impact, if any, that may result from such evaluation.
See Attachment A to this press release for a reconciliation of Con Edison's reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share and reported net income for common stock to adjusted earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. See Attachment B for the estimated effect of major factors resulting in variations in earnings per share and net income for common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the 2021 period.
The company's 2022 First Quarter Form 10-Q is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A first quarter 2022 earnings release presentation will be available at www.conedison.com. (Select "For Investors" and then select "Press Releases.")

Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations and not facts.

The forward-looking statements reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time.
Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as those identified in reports Con Edison has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, that Con Edison's subsidiaries are extensively regulated and are subject to substantial penalties; its utility subsidiaries' rate plans may not provide a reasonable return; it may be adversely affected by changes to the utility subsidiaries' rate plans; the failure of, or damage to, its subsidiaries' facilities could adversely affect it; a cyber-attack could adversely affect it; the failure of processes and systems and the performance of employees and contractors could adversely affect it; it is exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of its subsidiaries' operations, including increased costs related to climate change; its ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries; changes to tax laws could adversely affect it; it requires access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements; a disruption in the wholesale energy markets or failure by an energy supplier or customer could adversely affect it; it has substantial unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities; it faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic; its strategies may not be effective to address changes in the external business environment; and it also faces other risks that are beyond its control, including inflation and supply chain disruptions.

This press release also contains financial measures, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, that are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income for common stock or net income per share, respectively, each of which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate the analysis of Con Edison's financial performance as compared to its internal budgets and previous financial results and to communicate to investors and others Con Edison's expectations regarding its future earnings and dividends on its common stock. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful and meaningful to investors to facilitate their analysis of Con Edison's financial performance.

Social Security supports teachers online
The past two years have been difficult for everyone, including educators and students. Our nation’s teachers have adapted and provided for their students in so many ways. This year, we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week from May 2 through May 6, and honor all educators who prepare our children for the future.
We know that well-informed instructors can have a powerful and positive influence on their students. That’s why we created an Educator Toolkit. It’s a shareable online resource for teachers to engage students and educate them on Social Security. The toolkit includes:
- Lesson plans with objectives.
- Infographics and handouts for each lesson plan.
- Links to Social Security webpages.
- Talking points.
- Quiz questions and answers.
You can access the toolkit at www.ssa.gov/thirdparty/educators.html.
We value and welcome the efforts all teachers make to educate America’s young people. We want to help spark discussion with students about Social Security. Please share our toolkit with the educators in your communities today!

Dave Chappelle’s alleged attacker, Isaiah Lee, is facing four misdemeanor charges.
via Page Six:
“What should have been an evening of laughter at The Hollywood Bowl this past Tuesday night was suddenly interrupted when suspect Isaiah Lee allegedly charged onto the stage attacking comedian Dave Chappelle,” Feuer explained.
“The suspect was allegedly carrying a weapon,” he added. “This alleged attack has got to have consequences.”
Lee, 23, is facing the following charges: battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault, unauthorized access to the stage area during a performance and commission of an act that delays the event or interferes with the performer.
Feuer ended his message by saying that his office “takes protecting public safety extremely seriously” and promised to “vigorously prosecute” the case.
As Page Six previously reported, Lee stormed the stage and tackled Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday while allegedly armed with a gun-like knife, authorities said.
The suspect’s older brother, Aaron Lee, told Rolling Stone that he is struggling to understand the motive behind his younger sibling’s violent attack.
“He doesn’t have any type of animosity toward [Chappelle] that I know about,” Aaron told the outlet.
Aaron did mention that Isaiah has many transgender friends but isn’t certain if Chappelle’s offensive jokes about the trans community had anything to do with his brother’s decision.
“Yeah, it could have definitely been a factor, but I really don’t know,” Aaron said, adding that Isaiah allegedly “has a history of mental health issues” but isn’t known to “lash out.”
“He’s not the type of person to attack you for no reason,” he continued. “But if he’s not on his medication, and if he feels everyone is against him, maybe that’s it.”
We don’t know what possessed that man to do what he did, but it did NOT work out for him the way he thought it would. | https://www.lovebscott.com/dave-chappelles-alleged-attacer-isaiah-lee-facing-4-misdemeanor-charges | 2022-05-06T03:48:31Z | https://www.lovebscott.com/dave-chappelles-alleged-attacer-isaiah-lee-facing-4-misdemeanor-charges | true | 1 |

Hiring event for new North Augusta emergency room
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - Aiken Regional Medical Centers had a hiring event in Riverside Village for their new freestanding emergency room coming this summer to Exit 5.
The center is still under construction at Austin Graybill Road, and Market Plaza Drive is less than two months away from seeing the center open.
The 24/7 center is set to have ten treatment areas, a full-service laboratory, and more medical options for North Augusta.
“I want to get my feet wet. I want to help. I want to be here,” said Monique Peeples, participant.
Peeples already works in patient access in Aiken but came to the hiring event to expand her career.
“I heard it’s ten beds, and I think from what we experience at the ER in Aiken County, in the city of Aiken, that an extra ten beds would be helpful,” she said.
Residents who live off Exit 5 must drive around 20 minutes each way to Aiken Regional or the medical district in downtown Augusta.
This offers a growing area a quicker option.
Bridget Denzik, chief nursing officer, Aiken Regional Medical Center said: “That’s really what Aiken Regional is all about, is providing care for the community not just inside Aiken, but inside North Augusta as well.”
Denzik says they’re doing well with finding new hires.

Panarin, Vatrano help Rangers beat Penguins 5-2 in Game 2
NEW YORK -- New York coach Gerard Gallant was confident the Rangers would bounce back from a tough loss in the marathon series opener, and they did just that.
Artemi Panarin and Frank Vatrano each had a goal and two assists and the Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2 in Game 2 on Thursday night to even the best-of-seven first-round series.
Chris Kreider, Andrew Copp and Ryan Strome also scored for New York. Igor Shesterkin made 39 saves two nights after stopping 79 shots in a triple-overtime loss in Game 1.
'It's an 82-game regular season and we've done it all regular season long,' Gallant said. 'We've got a talented hockey club and when we want to play real good hockey, sound hockey we're a good team.'
Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist, and Jake Guentzel also scored for the Penguins. Louis Domingue, getting the start after replacing the injured Casey DeSmith in the second overtime of Game 1, finished with 34 saves.
'It's a hard-fought game, we can take a lot of positives," Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. 'When we were in our end zone I thought we defended hard. We had some looks in the offensive zone. One area we need to improve and get better is special teams, on both sides.'
Game 3 is Saturday night in Pittsburgh.
With the Rangers leading 3-2 after 40 minutes, the Penguins came out strong in the third period with the first nine shots on goal. Shesterkin stopped them all.
Panarin then extended the lead to 4-2 when his centering pass from beyond the goal line deflected off Penguins defenseman Mike Matheson and past Domingue at 8:02.
'It was for (Jacob) Trouba, I was trying to get the pass to him,' Panarin said through a translator. 'It hit the skate of the opposing player.'
Vatrano gave the Rangers a three-goal lead when he got around Matheson in the right circle, skated in and beat Domingue inside the right post at 9:49.
'Definitely a good showing today, a good first step in the right direction,' Panarin said. "We'll keep accelerating from here.
Shesterkin was down on the ice for several minutes following a collision with Pittsburgh's Jeff Carter as the goalie was trying to get back in position from behind the net with about two minutes left.
The Rangers took a 2-1 lead during a power play early in the second period when Adam Fox's slap shot through traffic was deflected by Strome in front at 2:59.
Minutes later, the Penguins had an odd-man rush but Bryan Rust fired a shot wide off the end boards, and Crosby's sharp-angle attempt from the left side on the rebound was kicked aside by Shesterkin. That got the Madison Square Garden crowd, roaring since Strome's go-ahead goal, to break out in chants of 'I-gor! I-gor!'
Kreider pushed the Rangers' lead to 3-1 when he deflected Frank Vatrano's point shot past Domingue for his second of the series at 7:54.
Crosby pulled the Penguins within one on a rush as he scored from the middle on the rebound of Rust's backhander with 1:26 left in the middle period.
'You don't want to get down two, we've done that a couple of times now.' Crosby said. 'It's not something we want to make a habit of. We get that late one and we had some really good chances early in the third and didn't convert, and they got a bounce. That's what it came down to.'
The Rangers outshot the Penguins 14-11 in a fast-paced and physical first period.
Copp got the Rangers on the scoreboard first as he got a pass from Panarin and scored from the inside edge of the right circle at 6:50. It was his second goal of the series.
Guentzel tied it with his third of the series as he fired a slap shot off the rebound of a shot by Marcus Pettersson past Shesterkin at 8:52.
'Every time we seemed to get some momentum going, we gave it back to them and we can't keep doing that,' Gallant said. 'We have to play better, stronger hockey in our D zone.'
MILESTONES
Guentzel scored his 29th career postseason goal, tying Boston's Brad Marchand for the third-most since 2017. Only Tampa Bay's Brayden Point (37) and Washington's Alex Ovechkin (30) have more in that time. ... Crosby's assist on Guentzel's first-period goal gave him 125 points to move past Sergei Fedorov (124) for eighth place on the NHL list. Crosby is one behind Jarri Kurri (127) for seventh. ... Kreider played in his 82nd postseason game, tying Brian Leetch for the eighth most in franchise history. ... Kreider's goal gave him 42 career playoff points, tying Jean Ratelle for 14th place in franchise history.
LINEUPS
Rangers D Ryan Lindgren (lower body injury) and F Barclay Goodrow (lower body injury) were out. Lindgren was a game-time decision but did not play and Gallant said Goodrow was 'week to week.' They were replaced by D Justin Braun and LW Dryden Hunt.
The Penguins were without RW Rickard Rakell, who left in the first period of Game 1, and D Brian Dumoulin. LW Drew O'Connor and D Mark Friedman returned to the lineup. LW Jason Zucker (lower-body injury) took part in pregame warmups but did not play.

The Board denied post grant review in Palo Alto Networks, Inc. v. Centripetal Networks, Inc. under 35 U.S.C. § 325(d) after applying the Advanced Bionics1 framework as informed by the factors outlined in Becton.2 IPR2021-01520 (March 22, 2022). The patent-in-question is US 9,686,193 (the '193 patent), which was issued from a continuation of the application for US 9,124,552 (the '552 patent). Id. at 17.
Here, the Petitioner urged the Board to institute a review of the '193 patent by relying on Sourcefire, a prior art reference. Id. at 20-21. Sourcefire was not identified or considered during the initial prosecution of either patents. Id. However, in previous post grant proceedings, the Board invalidated the '552 patent and denied institution for the '193 patent over Sourcefire. Id. at 17. This denial led to an ex-parte reexamination of the '193 patent where Sourcefire was considered and ultimately the claims' patentability was confirmed. Id. at 17-18. Still, the Petitioner in Palo Alto Networks argued that instituting a review over Sourcefire was warranted because it was not identified or considered during the patents' initial examination. Id. at 20-22. Notably, the Petitioner did not address the reexamination proceedings in the petition or point to any errors committed during the process. Id. The Petitioner also contended that the previous IPR proceedings poorly presented Sourcefire, which deprived the Board from having "a proper opportunity to consider the challenged claims. Id.
Section 325(d) provides the Board with discretion to deny post grant review. This discretion is guided by a two-step framework as laid out in Advance Bionics. IPR2019-01469, Paper 6. The first step involves a determination of whether a previous petition by the Petitioner or another party presented the same or substantially the same prior art or arguments. Id. at 7-8. If the first step is met, then the Board must determine "whether the Petitioner has demonstrated that the Office erred in a manner material to the patentability of challenged claims." Id. at 8. In deciding these questions, the Board weighs six non-exclusive factors as set forth in Becton. The factors are:
(a) the similarities and material differences between the asserted references and the prior art involved during prosecution;
(b) the cumulative nature of the asserted references and the prior art evaluated during prosecution;
(c) the extent to which the asserted references were evaluated during prosecution, including whether a rejection rested on any reference;
(d) the extent of overlap between the arguments made during prosecution and Petitioner's reliance on the asserted references or Patent Owner's contentions concerning them;
(e) whether Petitioner has pointed out sufficiently how the Examiner erred in analyzing the asserted references; and
(f) the extent to which additional evidence and facts presented in the petition warrant reconsideration of the asserted references or arguments.
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. IPR2021-01520 at 16 (citing Becton, IPR2017-01586, Paper 8 at 17-18).
In its analysis of the first step of the Advanced Bionics framework, the Board evaluated Becton factors (a), (b), and (d). Id. These factors weighed against institution because the Petitioner presented the same prior art reference and substantially similar arguments to those previously presented during the reexamination proceedings. Id. Moreover, the Board found that the Patent Office confirmed the patentability of the claims over similar arguments presented by the Petitioner. Id. at 24. The Board then turned to the second step where it evaluated Becton factors (c), (e), and (f). Id. at 24-25. The inquiry was "'whether the Petitioner has demonstrated that the Office erred in a manner material to the patentability of challenged claims.'" Id. at 25 (citing Advanced Bionics, Paper 6 at 7-8, 10). Factor (c) weighed against institution because of Sourcefire was considered during the reexamination proceedings, which is included in the patent's prosecution history. Id. As for factors (e) and (f), the Petitioner argued that the Examiner failed to properly apply the Board's decision when it invalidated the '552 patent and that the Examiner mistakenly relied on "purported distinctions" between the claims of the '193 patent and the '552 patent in issuing the reexamination certificate. Id. The Board was not persuaded, finding that it was insufficient to rely on the invalidity determination of the '552 patent to establish an error in the reexamination of the '193 patent since the claims of the two patents are materially different. Id. at 26.
Takeaway: In considering the Becton factors, references considered during ex parte reexamination proceedings are considered part of the prosecution history of a patent similar to those presented during the initial prosecution process. If a petitioner is relying on previously considered references, it should sufficiently point out how the Examiner erred in evaluating these references and/or distinguish its arguments from those previously considered by the Patent Office.

LONDON: English county cricket club Essex have been fined £50,000 ($61,500) and reprimanded following a racist remark made by their former chairman, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced Thursday.
The county admitted John Faragher used the highly offensive term during a board meeting in 2017 and accepted they had failed to hold a timely investigation into the matter.
Faragher, who resigned last November, has denied using the phrase.
An independent cricket discipline panel concluded that a points deduction would be inappropriate and instead settled on a financial penalty, of which £15,000 has been suspended.
The incidents at Essex, based in Chelmsford, came to light following the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.
The former spinner told a parliamentary committee in November about the abuse he suffered while playing for Yorkshire, saying he had been driven to thoughts of suicide.
His revelations led to a mass clear out of senior boardroom figures and coaching staff at Yorkshire, as well as leading to the unearthing of racist incidents at several other first-class counties.
The independent panel looking into the Essex case praised John Stephenson, the Essex chief executive and interim chairman, for attempting to tackle the situation on his appointment last year but added he had been hampered by “a lamentable logjam at board level”. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40171060/essex-cricket-club-fined-50000-after-racist-remark | 2022-05-06T04:15:27Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40171060/essex-cricket-club-fined-50000-after-racist-remark | true | 2 |
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis authorized spending up to 1 million euros to free a Colombian nun kidnapped by al-Qaida-linked militants in Mali, a cardinal testified Thursday, revealing previously secret papal approval to hire a British security firm to find the nun and secure her freedom.
Cardinal Angelo Becciu’s bombshell testimony could pose serious security implications for the Vatican and Catholic Church, since he provided evidence that the pope was apparently willing to pay ransom to Islamic militants to free a nun, who was eventually let go last year.
Ransom payment are rarely if ever confirmed, precisely to dissuade future kidnappings, and it’s not known how much — if any Vatican money — actually ended up in the hands of the militants. Prosecutors have accused a Becciu co-defendant of embezzling around half the amount on high-end luxury items for herself.
Becciu, who was once one of Francis’ top advisers as the No. 2 in the Vatican secretariat of state, had withheld his testimony from the Vatican tribunal for nearly two years as a matter of state and pontifical secret. But he spoke freely Thursday in his own defense after Francis released him from the confidentiality requirement, providing the most anticipated testimony of the yearlong trial to date.
Becciu is one of 10 people accused in the Vatican’s sprawling financial fraud trial, which originated in the Holy See’s 350 million euro investment in a London property and expanded to cover other alleged crimes. Prosecutors have accused the defendants of a host of crimes for allegedly fleecing the Holy See of millions of euros in fees, commissions and bad investments.
Becciu, the lone cardinal on trial, is accused of embezzlement, abuse of office and witness tampering, all of which he denies. On Thursday, his testimony covered the charges concerning his relationship with an Italian self-styled intelligence specialist, Cecilia Marogna.
Marogna has told Italian media that she helped negotiate the release of Catholic hostages in Africa on behalf of the Holy See. Vatican prosecutors accuse her of embezzling 575 million euros, citing bank records from her Slovenian holding company that show nine wire transfers from the Vatican in 2018-2019 for unspecified humanitarian ends, and expenditures out of the account at Prada, Luis Vuitton and fancy hotels. Marogna has said the transfers were reimbursements for expenditures and compensation for her services.
Becciu testified Thursday that he hired Marogna as an external security consultant, impressed by her grasp of geopolitical affairs and the trust she enjoyed of two of Italy’s top secret service officials, Generals Luciano Carta and Gianni Caravelli, who accompanied her to a meeting with Becciu in the Vatican in October 2017.
Becciu said he turned to Marogna for help following the February 2017 kidnapping of a Colombian nun, Sister Gloria Cecilia Narvaez, in Mali. She had been kidnapped by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, which has bankrolled its insurgency by kidnapping Westerners. During her captivity, the group periodically showed Narvaez on video asking for the Vatican’s help.
Becciu said he had heard from the Vatican’s nuncio in Colombia as well as other sisters from the nun’s religious order asking for help. He said he brought the matter to Francis as well as Marogna, who he said advised him that she could work with a British intelligence firm, The Inkerman Group, to secure the nun’s release.
Becciu testified that Francis authorized him to proceed with the Inkerman operation, and forbade him from telling anyone else about it, including the Vatican’s own police chief. Francis was concerned about the security and reputational implications if the news leaked, Becciu said.
Becciu said he and Marogna met with Inkerman officials at their London office in mid-January 2018.
Inkerman officials said there were no assurances of success and that the total expenditure could reach 1 million euros, Becciu said. Because the Vatican wanted to remain external to any operation, Marogna became the key intermediary and the one to receive periodic payments from the Vatican secretariat of state for the operation, Becciu testified.
Becciu said he provided Francis a preliminary oral readout of the London meeting on Jan. 15, 2018, while the pope was en route to Peru.
“He listened to me and confirmed my intention to proceed,” Becciu testified. “In a subsequent meeting with the Holy Father, once in Rome, I spoke to him in more detail about the conversation we had with the Inkermans and the sum that we should have estimated in broad terms: about 1 million euros, part to pay for the creation of a network of contacts, and part for the effective liberation of the nun.”
“I pointed out that we shouldn’t have gone beyond that figure. He approved. I must say that every step of this operation was agreed with the Holy Father,” Becciu testified.
Narvaez was released in October, 2021, after more than four years in captivity. Soon after, she met with Francis at the Vatican.
Vatican prosecutors say they have evidence that the secretariat of state, in addition to the transfer of 575,000 euros sent to Marogna’s Slovenian accounts, sent an equivalent amount directly to a British bank account held by Inkerman.
Becciu also responded to claims against him concerning Cardinal George Pell, who left his job as the Vatican’s financial czar in 2017 to face historic sex abuse charges in his native Australia, for which he was ultimately acquitted. Pell clashed repeatedly with Becciu during his time at the Vatican and has repeated Italian media claims that Becciu approved money transfers from the Vatican to Australia that in some way aided in the sex abuse prosecution against him.
Becciu on Thursday produced two letters to refute the claims: One from the current secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, explaining that the 1.46 million euros that was wired to Australia was to pay for a domain name “.catholic.” And the other, a Sept. 11, 2015 letter authorizing that expenditure, signed by none other than Pell. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/cardinal-pope-authorized-1m-payment-to-free-kidnapped-nun/ | 2022-05-06T04:21:21Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/cardinal-pope-authorized-1m-payment-to-free-kidnapped-nun/ | true | 31 |

NATHIAGALI: The scenic valleys in Northern Khyber Pakthunkhwa have attracted an influx of tourists during Eidul Fitr holidays where they enjoyed water sports, trekking and traditional trout fish in a pleasant weather.
Peoples visited Nathiagali, Ayubia, Dongagali, Bagnotar and Khanspor in Abbottabad, Saiful Malok lake, Manshera, Kalam, Bahrain and Malam Jabba and Kumrat valley.
Nathiagali-a famous hilly resort in Abbottabad district located on Murree-Abbottabad Road witnessed influx of domestic tourists where all hotels and motels were jam-packed with tourists mostly arrived from plains districts of Khyber Pakthunkhwa and Punjab to spend Eid holidays in its pleasant weather after heavy rains the other day.
The KP Culture and Tourism Authority’s rest houses, hotels, motels and guest houses have received record booking orders from tourists this year as compared to last year.
Eco-tourists and mountaineers visited the nearby Ayubia tourist resort to enjoy a free ride on a chairlift amid great fun and laughter.
The hide and seek between sun and clouds with moderate to erratic rainfalls over snow-clad mountains peaks of Mukshpuri and Miranjani in Ayubia on western Himalayan hills and calmness of Nathiagali took tourists into a lap of serene.
Ayubia-Nathiagali, Dongagali-Ayubia and Mukshpuri Top were the most frequented sites where local guides and horse riders were seen moving around to make a quick buck.
A substantial number of tourists along with families have been seen on fast moving swings and Ayubia chairlift amid thrill and excitement.
“Chairlift ride at Ayubia took tourists to a new height of thrill and excitement,’” said tourist, Ehtisham Khan, (26) a tourist from Pabbi Nowshera while talking to APP at Ayubia on Thursday.
He said the natural beauty of nearby Khanspur, Dongagali and Bagnotar valleys have left a lasting imprint on the minds of visitors and picnickers.
He said weather of Nathiagali was very pleasant and people came here to enjoy its natural beauty, cool breeze and lush green valleys. “Prior to Nathiagali, I visited Malam Jabba, Swat on the first day of Eid where floating clouds mesmerize the tourists.”
He said high charges of hotels and high prices of daily use commodities needed to be checked by the district administration and proper arrangements should be made for car parking at tourists places.
Likewise, tourists also thronged to Naran and Kaghan valleys in Manshera where owners of hotels, restaurants and houses earned great profits during Eid days. The local people have vacated extra rooms of their houses for tourists to earn profits.
Many tourists have installed tents at Kaghan, Naran, Ayubia, Khanuspor, Bharagali, Dongagali and Thandyani. Tourists having low income have brought their own beds by staying under an open sky to enjoy pleasant weather in Naran and Kaghan valleys, Saif-ul-Malook lake, Lalazar Babusar, Noori and Purbi Valleys where they enjoyed waterfalls, horse ridding and boating besides trout fish of River Kunhar in a pleasant weather.

Tourists were directed to get travel advisory from the tourist receptions at toll plaza Manshera, Abbottabad and Swat or see it online on KP Culture and Tourism Authority before restarting their journey or extending stays at Kaghan, Naran, Nathia Gali and Kalam.
Unscrupulous business elements in hotels and restaurants industries were fully exploiting the situation by fleecing tourists due to shortage of accommodation at Nathiagali, Naran, Kaghan, Swat and adjoining scenic resorts.
Riaz Khan, a tourist told APP said that no hill station carried more natural and mountainous beauty in the world than Nathia Gali and Kalam where tourists were being heavily charged these days.

Former Conservative minister Nick Boles has revealed he voted Labour for the first time since Tony Blair’s 1997 general election landslide.
It comes as polling stations closed in the local elections across England, Scotland, and Wales, with voters casting their ballots in thousands of council seats to select local representatives.
Mr Boles – the former Tory MP for Grantham and Stamford – tweeted earlier on Thursday: “First time I’ve voted Labour since an equally glorious May morning in 1997”.
Mr Boles, who served in David Cameron’s government, quit the Conservatives in April 2019, after accusing his former party of failing to compromise over Brexit and walked out of the Commons chamber.
First elected under the Tory banner at the 2010 election, he remained as an Independent MP until November 2019 before deciding he would not seek re-election as a snap election sought by Boris Johnson.
After sharing his decision to vote Labour on Thursday, Mr Boles also retweeted a message from Sir Keir Starmer, which read: “Today is our chance to send the Tories a message they can’t ignore: Britain deserves better.”
“Make a plan to vote and tell your friends and family to do the same,” it added.
In England, more than 4,000 councillors in 146 councils were standing for election in major cities including Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and all 32 London boroughs.
All of Scotland’s 32 councils – last contested in 2017 – and 22 Welsh councils are also up for grabs.
With counting now underway, the first results, including major Labour London targets of Wandsworth and Barnet, are expected to declare in the early hours of Friday morning.
The results will be considered a major mid-term test for the Conservatives amid the ongoing Partygate scandal, with police still investigating events in No 10, and the deepening concern over the cost-of-living crisis.
Writing for The Independent before voters headed to the polls, the polling expert professor Sir John Curtice claimed: “At first glance, the omens are not good for Boris Johnson.
“His party shows no sign of recovering the poll lead it enjoyed in this parliament until his probity and ethics became the subject of controversy. On average the Conservatives currently trail Labour by six points. That represents as much as a nine-point swing since the 2019 general election.”
He suggested the election could “well produce Tory losses of a few hundred seats – but it would not necessarily look like a tsunami that threatened to sweep Johnson out of Downing Street”.

The claims that Covid-19 vaccine are “safe and effective” now comes with a “But.”
The US Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday that the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen Covid-19 vaccine should only be used in emergencies. Its use is now intended only for people 18 and older for whom other vaccines aren’t appropriate or accessible, or for those whose only option is a J&J shot.
The FDA said in a statement that the change is because of a risk of a clotting condition called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) from use of the vaccine.
Thursday’s announcement is sure to fuel further concerns among those who have resisted Covid-19 vaccinations. Many people have cited concerns about vaccinations that were rushed to market without the usual years-long vetting on potential long-term effects. While those fears have been derided as “conspiracy theories,” today’s ruling will give pause on whether the resistance was grounded in logic. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine-limited-by-us-food-drug-advisory-the-hamden-journal/174033/ | 2022-05-06T04:27:42Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine-limited-by-us-food-drug-advisory-the-hamden-journal/174033/ | true | 1 |

The newly announced 'Deep Pink' Xbox controller is super pretty and kind of reminds us of Kirby?
Announced by Xbox on May 3, the new perfectly pink Xbox controller is just one of many recently unveiled new Xbox controllers following on from the pastel wired controllers at the end of March 2022. The Deep Pink controller is available to buy now for $64.99 from select retailers - although we're currently only seeing it at the official Microsoft Store.
On Wednesdays we play in Pink (and every other day) 💖 Introducing the all new Deep Pink Xbox Wireless Controller: https://t.co/pAoSqqYpAB pic.twitter.com/uK6ZxifAW7May 3, 2022
The new controller’s design features a deep pink color scheme that gives off hot pink vibes, but a little more sophisticated. The bottom half of the controller is white and the buttons feature the same berry color as the top of the device. No worries if you feel like you might struggle to recognize the buttons if they’re not their signature green, blue, yellow, and red coloring as four colored dots representing each of the buttons appear in the middle of the A, B, Y, X controls.
According to the Xbox official website, the Deep Pink controller has sculpted surfaces and refined geometry for "enhanced comfort during gameplay." It also includes a textured grip and a hybrid D-pad which will help players to "stay on target." Like most other Xbox controllers, this new one also has a dedicated Share button and can be paired with the Xbox Series X/S, PC, Android, and iOS.
As to be expected, there was a mixed reception to the new controller as many Twitter users shared if they were a fan, hated it, or didn’t understand why Microsoft felt the need to release even more controllers for its games.
One thing several players could agree on though was the fact the pink colouring makes it look as though Nintendo mascot Kirby had used 'mouthful mode' on the controller to give it its pink hue.

A guard room was built by the MCD a few years ago but it remains empty during the day.
(Photo: Ashna Butani/The Quint)
A school run by the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) in North East Delhi where two minor girls were allegedly assaulted and ‘forcibly undressed’ by an outsider on 30 April, Saturday, does not have a guard at the entrance or a CCTV camera installed on its premises, The Quint found out when this reporter visited the school on Thursday, 5 May.
The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on 4 May had issued summons to the EDMC, alleging that a man barged into the primary school and sexually assaulted the two eight-year-old students.
Paintings inside the MCD school read quotes such as 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.'
EDMC officials said that they have suspended the principal and a teacher who were on duty at that time. They have also terminated another teacher and issued warning to a deputy director over the ‘security lapse.'
However, the school administration maintained that the CCTVs are supposed to be installed by the EDMC themselves, and guards are to be employed by the body, too.
Talking to The Quint, a senior administrator in the afternoon school batch said,
EDMC officials pinned the missing CCTVs on the paucity of funds. Mayor Shyam Sunder Aggarwal told The Quint, “We have been short on funds for some time. As soon as this is resolved, we will install CCTVs in all our schools and employ guards on day duty.”
According to school officials, the incident took place on the morning of 30 April, just after students went to class after their morning assembly.
During the day, an attendant who takes care of the school, is expected to keep vigil at all times. However, the attendant told The Quint that "his duty requires him to take rounds of the school, making it impossible for him to guard the gates throughout the day."
In addition, a sanitation workers keeps an eye out, trying to ensure that nobody enters the school from outside.
A guard room was set up in the school two years ago, but it stays empty during school hours. A night guard mans the gates from 6 pm to 7.30 am.
The guard room, which was built by the MCD two years ago, remains empty during the day.
There's another related problem. The school – like many other MCD schools – allows parents inside the premises to take their children to their respective classes before their classes start for the day. The attendant said that he has tried to stop this tradition but in vain.
Mayor Shyam Sunder Aggarwal told The Quint that the unidentified person could have entered the school along with the parents and "gone unnoticed."
The school has around 700 female students during the day and 700 male students in the afternoon batch. The students study from nursery to class 5. Most of the students are from nearby areas, and the school offers mid-day meals to both batches.
After the incident was highlighted by the DCW, the office of DCP North East Delhi said that a case has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the investigation was underway. “It was an MCD school and no CCTV was found to be installed at the entrance or inside the school. However, a number of CCTVs have been examined in the vicinity to trail the suspect/accused persons,” the police said.
On 5 May, a portrait of the accused, prepared on the basis of the identity revealed by the girls, was shared by Delhi Police. Two suspects have been zeroed in on thereafter.
The police said that they were working in tandem with the school officials.
A parent, whose child used to study in the school till class 5, told The Quint, "I had never seen guards in this school when I used to drop her. But we are still worried … if such incidents are happening here, it could happen in other schools too." Her daughter has now moved to the senior secondary school in the area, also run by the EDMC.
An EDMC employee in another school, who did not want to be named, claimed that only one in 10 schools have CCTV cameras. He said, “I work as a chowkidaar on night duty in a school in Mohan Puri. But there is nobody on day duty. Many years ago, I used to send my daughters to this school. But then I put them in a private school instead because of lack of safety and discipline.”
A painting about child abuse that is accompanied with boards that highlight the issue.
Recently, the EDMC had blamed the Delhi government for withholding funds, due to which they were unable to pay salaries of teachers. A few weeks ago, the EDMC had said that they could not print certificates for their vendors due to the same reason.

“There is no need to beat around the bush,” he said. “When we began our nuclear activity, our goal was indeed to build a bomb.”
The politician, who is the son of an Ayatollah, admitted that the goal of constructing a nuclear bomb was to use it as a “means of intimidation and to strike fear in the hearts of the enemies of Allah”.
Motahari continued by stating that the plan by the regime had been to keep the nuclear programme secret until such time as they were ready to perform a nuclear bomb test.
“It would then have been a done deal, like in Pakistan,” he said, arguing that the world tends to take seriously countries that have nuclear bombs like Pakistan and North Korea. They are “taken into consideration on the global stage”, he said.
During the interview, Motahari said: “From the very beginning, when we entered [into] nuclear activity, our goal was to build a bomb and strengthen the deterrent forces.
"But we could not maintain the secrecy of this issue and the secret reports were revealed by the group of hypocrites."
The pejorative term ‘hypocrites’ is used by the clerical regime when referring to the People’s Mojahedin of Iran/Mojahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK) – the main democratic opposition group.
The PMOI/MEK famously shocked the world when they revealed the Iranian regime’s secret nuclear programme at a special press conference in Washington DC back in 2003.
Western intelligence agencies had failed to detect the clandestine activity. The exposure of the regime’s top-secret Lavizan-Shian nuclear site in north-eastern Tehran by the Iranian resistance triggered the intervention of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and forced the regime to hide its nuclear activities underground.
Since that time the mullahs have strenuously denied they were attempting to build a nuclear bomb, while accelerating their construction of thousands of centrifuges used for the enriching of uranium to weapons’ grade capacity, now believed to be around 60 per cent purity – only a fraction short of weapons’ grade.
Despite this, the regime has continued to insist that their nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful and only for passive energy generation.
Motahari told ISCA that states wishing to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes don't begin with enriching nuclear materials. "But the fact that we enrich directly creates the illusion that we want to make a bomb," he added.
While US President, Barack Obama negotiated the controversial Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal with Iran in 2015, in a desperate attempt to create some sort on international legacy from his otherwise uninspiring two terms in office.
The ten-year deal prohibited IAEA inspectors from entering any of the regime’s military sites, where, of course, all the covert nuclear activity is underway.
President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the JCPOA in 2018, calling it the worst deal in US history and imposing a tough raft of sanctions in his “maximum pressure” campaign against the mullahs’ regime.
However the current US President, Joe Biden, is now keen to reinstate the tattered pact, although it has only three more years to run and talks have been going on in Vienna for more than a year in a bid to resurrect the agreement.
The Vienna talks have stalled while the mullahs demand the lifting of sanctions and the removal of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) – the equivalent of the regime’s Gestapo – from international terrorist blacklists.
The IRGC and its extra-territorial Quds Force control around 70 per cent of the Iranian economy and also finance and maintain proxy wars in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, and Gaza, exporting conflict and terror across the Middle East and the wider world.
There is growing opposition to any notion of de-listing the IRGC and removing sanctions, which would revitalise the Iranian economy, embolden the mullahs and encourage the regime’s policy of aggressive meddling and expansionism and export of terror.
But appeasers, led by the EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell, have sought to placate the fundamentalist regime for decades and are desperately seeking any excuse to reconstitute the deeply flawed JCPOA. The startling TV admission by Motahari will have done little to curb their enthusiasm.
Although Motahari ended his interview by carefully pointing out that Iran’s Supreme Leader – Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – is against the bomb and “believes that building nuclear weapons is completely impermissible”, his contentious comments were quickly taken down from the ISCA site and replaced with a statement by him that claimed he had been “incorrectly understood”.
He will almost certainly now face severe reprisals from the mullahs and the IRGC for exposing their lies and duplicity.
Reeling from a broken economy, raging poverty, a catastrophic pandemic and international disapproval for their support of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the mullahs are punch drunk, wondering where the next blow will come from.
President Biden should do nothing to lighten their burdens. The West must now throw their support behind the 80 million Iranians and their courageous PMOI/MEK resistance units, who are sick to death of this venally corrupt and oppressive regime.

Most stocks of regional interest lose with Wall Street’s plunge
UPDATED: Thu., May 5, 2022
From staff and wire reports
A sharp selloff left the Dow Jones Industrial Average more than 1,000 points down Thursday, lowering the stock values of most area companies, as worries grow that higher interest rates will slow the economy.
The benchmark S&P 500 fell 3.6%, marking its biggest loss in nearly two years, a day after it posted its biggest gain since May 2020.
The Nasdaq slumped 5%, its worst drop since June 2020.
The losses by the Dow and the other indexes offset the large gains from a day earlier.
Wednesday’s “sharp rally was not rooted in reality and (Thursday’s) dramatic selloff is a reversal of that misplaced exuberance,” said Ben Kirby, co-head of investments at Thornburg Investment Management, told the Associated Press.
The fate of stocks of regional interest reflected the tumultuous day Thursday on Wall Street, with nearly all posting substantial drops by the end of the trading day.
The only local stock to rise on Thursday was Key Tronic, which posted a 2.9% gain.
Those hardest hit Thursday were Amazon (down 7.5%), Kaiser Aluminum (7.4%) and Hecla Mining (5.9%). Those with the smallest percentage drop included W.T.B. Financial Corp., the holding company for Washington Trust Bank, (down 1%); and Avista, Umpqua Holdings and Clearwater Paper (all down 2.1%).
The S&P 500 fell 153.30 points to 4,146.87, while the Nasdaq slid 647.16 points to 12,317.69.
The Dow briefly skidded 1,375 points before closing down 1,063.09 points, or 3.1%, to 32,997.97.
Smaller company stocks also fell sharply. The Russell 2000 fell 78.77 points, or 4%, to 1,871.15.
The markets’ swings reflected the degree of investors’ uncertainty and unease over the array of threats the economy is facing, starting with inflation running at the highest level in four decades, and how effective the Federal Reserve’s bid to tame higher prices by jacking up interest rates will be.
“The biggest issue is there are just a lot of moving parts and the unanswered question is to what extent as the Fed attempts to tame inflation will that result in economic slowing, and perhaps, a recession,” said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced a widely expected half-percentage point increase in its short-term interest rate.
Stocks bounced around following the move but then sharply rose as bond yields fell after Fed Chair Jerome Powell reassured investors by saying the central bank wasn’t considering shifting to more aggressive, three-quarters point rate hikes as the Fed continues with further rate increases in coming months.
But whatever relief Powell’s remarks gave stock investors vanished Thursday. Stocks slumped and bond yields climbed. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.04%. Rising yields are sure to put upward pressure on mortgage rates, which are already at their highest level since 2009.
Higher oil and gas prices have been contributing to the uncertainties weighing on investors as they try to assess how inflation will ultimately impact businesses, consumer activity and overall economic growth.
Homebuilders fell broadly as average long-term home loan rates climbed. D.R. Horton slid 5.8%.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 5.27% this week, its highest level since 2009, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.
A year ago, it averaged 2.96%. Mortgage rates tend to follow moves in the 10-year Treasury yield.
The sharp increase in mortgage rates has strained affordability for homebuyers after years of sharply rising prices.
Below are Thursday’s closing prices per share for several stocks of regional interest and the closing volumes for Wall Street’s three major indexes, followed by the percentage change:
Alaska Airlines: 52.51, 51.14 down 4.4%
Amazon.com: 2518.57, 2,328.14 down 7.5%

You may have noticed the U.S. has been on the wrong end of recent cyberattacks.
A report titled America's Data Held Hostage by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security found attempted ransomware attacks hit record levels in 2021. The U.S. was targeted the most with nearly 422 (421.5) million attempts, a 98% increase from 2020.
Cybercriminals are grabbing hold of U.S. systems with a common tactic known as phishing.
That’s when scammers try to get you to share personal information by disguising themselves as a credible person in a text, email, or phone call.
You may have also heard the word “ransomware”. It’s a program that hackers use to hold digital information hostage until they receive a specified payment. It’s become the top choice of malware for criminals in recent years.
And it’s becoming a business.
According to the White House, ransomware payments reached over $400 million globally in 2020.
Last may, a ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline forced the company to shut down for nearly a week.
And it caused gasoline shortages and price hikes across several southeastern states.
That ransom cost the company nearly $5 million to hackers in order to regain access.
A Russian group called Darkside was blamed for that attack.
Months later, JBS, the world’s largest meat producer, also announced it too was targeted by a cybersecurity attack.
You may have heard or even felt the impact of these hacks.
Yet others often go unreported. According to a 2016 FBI report, only 15% of Americans report internet crimes to law enforcement.
Many of these hacks happen to everyday businesses like hospitals.
Just think of all the personal and private information you typically share with your doctor, which ends up being stored electronically.
When it comes to identifying the culprits for these attacks, Russian cybercriminals have established a reputation for cyber crimes.
Those attacks and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused President Biden to issue a warning in march to all major U.S. companies.
Many American businesses haven’t implemented tougher cybersecurity systems, mostly because they’ve never legally had to.
And that’s concerning to the Biden administration, as most of our major infrastructure is not run by the government.
But that’s changing soon.
In March, President Biden signed a bill into law that will legally require critical infrastructure businesses to report cyber attacks to the government within 72 hours.
Cybersecurity experts say it’s also costly for companies to up their IT security. And it’s proving difficult to find businesses that do, leaving critical offices vulnerable to attacks.
The Biden administration also announced it removed malware from computer networks around the world, in an attempt to stop any attempted attack, before it is too late.
Even with increased federal action, lawmakers say the threat for another major attack remains a top concern. | https://www.newsy.com/stories/what-makes-the-u-s-vulnerable-to-cyberattacks/ | 2022-05-06T05:09:38Z | https://www.newsy.com/stories/what-makes-the-u-s-vulnerable-to-cyberattacks/ | false | 1 |

Ronald Lamola’s comments come after Hillary Gardee’s family expressed their lack of faith in SAPS’ ability to bring her killers to book
Minister Ronald Lamola. [Photo: GCIS]
Justice Minister Ronald Lamola has urged people to have a lot more faith in the SAPS and NPA’s ability to concluding the murder case of Hillary Gardee, the daughter of former EFF secretary-general Godrich Gardee.
The 28-year-old woman was found dead outside Mbombela in Mpumalanga on Tuesday, just days after she was reported missing by her family.
Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her murder. Gardee is set to be laid to rest on Saturday, 7 May 2022.

Ronald Lamola visited the Gardee family on Thursday and called on communities to work together with police and the NPA to ensure that those responsible for her murder face the full might of the law.
“I don’t think as a nation we should just throw our hands in despair that we are losing the fight against violence. To win the fight is in the hands of all of us as the society, because criminals are born and they live within ourselves. They are known by someone in the community and society. We should work with the police and also the NPA to ensure that the perpetrators of the crime are brought to book.”
Justice Minister Ronald Lamola
Lamola’s utterances come as the Gardee family has expressed lack of confidence in SAPS after learning that she had apparently been shot execution-style before being forced to withdraw R1 300. The family says law enforcement did not pick up on the fact that she had succumbed to gun fire.
“…the police did not conduct thorough investigation of the crime scene and, at this point, it is too late – that crime scene has been contaminated, people were doing walkabouts with the media there when the police on the ground had failed to identify that there was a bullet wound … They have not located cartridges, they do not know what happened in terms of the location there,” said family spokesperson Sinawo Thambo.

Srikakulam (Andhra Pradesh) [India], May 6 (ANI): Four of a family in Elamanchili village in Andhra Pradesh's Srikakulam district attempted self-immolation in which a woman and her daughter succumbed while her other daughter and son sustained severe burns on Thursday morning, police said.
According to police, a property dispute in the family could have been the reason for the extreme step.

The deceased has been identified as Chintu Chinamani (45) and her daughter Jahanavi (18). The injured identified as the brother-sister duo of Venkata Sai Sushank (15) and Sri Ranjini have been admitted to the Pinnacle Hospital in Vishakhapatnam.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Pari Naidu, Jalmuru said that the woman decided to take the extreme step as she was unhappy with her mother-in-law for allegedly refusing to give 'her share' in the property. Chinamani's mother-in-law wanted to share the major proportion of her property with her daughter and wished to give the remaining to her son.
"A mother and her three children committed suicide by self-immolating, in which the mother and a daughter died on the spot while the other two were seriously injured and have been hospitalised," Sub-Inspector (SI) Pari Naidu said.
The deceased's mother-in-law used to live with her daughter in the same village (in Jalmuru mandal) and wanted to give the major proportion of her property to the daughter and the remaining part to the son (Chinamani's husband). The other sister-in-law of the woman who died lives in Vishakhapatnam.
According to the police, the magistrate has taken the dying declaration from Ranjini, in which she has stated that her father did not look after them and had not asked for the property from their grandmother, which allegedly caused her mental stress.
In her statement, she also mentioned that their father used to support his mother for not giving them the property, and hence they decided to commit suicide.
As per the statement from Ranjini, the police have registered a case and further investigation into the matter is on. (ANI)

SpaceX brings 4 astronauts home with midnight splashdown
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX brought four astronauts home with a midnight splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, capping the busiest month yet for Elon Musk’s taxi service.
The three U.S. astronauts and one German in the capsule were bobbing off the Florida coast, near Tampa, less than 24 hours after leaving the International Space Station. NASA expected to have them back in Houston later in the morning.
NASA’s Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron, and the European Space Agency’s Matthias Maurer, embraced the seven astronauts remaining at the station, before parting ways.
“It’s the end of a six-month mission, but I think the space dream lives on,” Maurer said.
SpaceX brought up their U.S. and Italian replacements last week, after completing a charter trip to the station for a trio of businessmen.
That amounts to two crew launches and two splashdowns in barely a month. Musk’s company has now launched 26 people into orbit in less than two years, since it started ferrying astronauts for NASA. Eight of those 26 were space tourists.
“Welcome home,” SpaceX Mission Control radioed at splashdown. “Thanks for flying SpaceX.”
“That was a great ride,” replied Chari, the capsule commander. As for the reintroduction to gravity, he noted: “Only one complaint. These water bottles are super heavy.”
The newly returned astronauts said their mission was highlighted by the three visitors and their ex-astronaut escort who dropped by in April, opening up NASA’s side of the station to paying guests after decades of resistance.
On the down side, they had to contend with a dangerous spike in space junk after Russia blew up a satellite in a missile test in mid-November. More than 1,500 pieces of shrapnel spread across Earth’s orbit for years to come.
While the war in Ukraine has caused tensions between the U.S. and Russia, the astronauts have stood by their Russian crewmates, and vice versa. Flight controllers in Houston and Moscow also continued to cooperate as always, according to NASA officials.
As he relinquished command of the space station earlier this week, Marshburn called it “a place of peace” and said international cooperation would likely be its lasting legacy. Russian Oleg Artemyev, the new commander, also emphasized the “peace between our countries, our friendship” in orbit and described his crewmates as brothers and sisters.
Up there now are three Russians, three Americans and one Italian.
It was Marshburn’s third spaceflight, and the first for the three returning with him. Chari and Barron’s next stop could be the moon; they are among 18 U.S. astronauts picked for NASA’s Artemis moon-landing program. Two others in that elite group are now at the space station.

Birmingham's had plenty of well-loved public events, festivals and fairs over the years. The Christmas markets and New Year's Eve fireworks are still big attractions, and we've got a good tradition for music festivals like the old Party In The Park and the newer MADE festival.
There's one missing from the modern lineup though, absurdly popular with an electric atmosphere that rivalled Nottingham's famous Goose Fair. It was called the Onion Fair - and for the version that people still remember, the name doesn't do it justice.
It had its roots in the Michaelmas fairs going back centuries, and the Onion Fair precursors really did sell onions, alongside other things. People travelled from miles around, even from France, to sell or grab something to spice up their drab, basic meals.

Other stalls, job fairs and amusements began to spring up around these markets, and we start to see the future Onion Fair take shape in the latter half of the 1800s. The entertainment part of the fair split from the markets - and this is the start of the Onion Fair we remember.
Traditionally it was centred around the Bull Ring, but it was kicked out of council-held grounds in 1875. Irish showman Pat Collins took over the fair, eventually bringing it to the Serpentine Grounds around 1910, which used to exist just east of Aston Hall and Villa Park.
Here, it exploded in popularity. Tens of thousands would descend onto Aston in late September every year to see what the Fair had in store for them.
Boxer Randy Turpin, conqueror of Sugar Ray Johnson, sparred at the Onion Fair alongside other famous fighters from his era. Travelling menageries gave 20th Century kids their first look at real-life lions and tigers.
The explosion of light and colour was magnificent, getting even better as the sun went down. Classic fairground staples like dodgems, wheels and waltzers gave plenty of laughs and scares to Brummie kids.
Alongside the carnival atmosphere was every kind of game of skill and chance that you could think of. Shoot targets, toss rings, and throw coconuts - and hope that the stall owner was an honest sort if you wanted a prize at the end.
The Onion Fair also ran in more innocent times, when children had the freedom to go out on their own and make mischief without adult supervision. For young eyes and minds, seeing this town of fun pop up in your local neighbourhood must have been the best thing ever.
Reading back on newspaper reviews of the various Onion Fairs, it was very much "of its time". The World's Ugliest Woman, Siamese pigs, giant men, and cows with six legs all got a mention in a review from 1957.
With how the world has changed, it's hard to see an exact replica of the Onion Fairs of old making a return. But for nearly 60 years, that's how it was for those tens of thousands who attended every year without a care in the world.
When plans for the Aston Expressway got underway, everything changed. The future A38 would snake through the Serpentine Grounds, and the Onion Fair had to find somewhere new after 1969.
Tragically, it never did. The motorway section cut through Aston, bringing down some of the old housing stock in the area, and the Fair with it.
Apart from a brief Brindleyplace revival in the early 90s, the greatest show in Birmingham hasn't been seen since. Even the most high-budget Bonfire Night displays seem to have failed to recapture the magic, sights and smells that our parents and grandparents would have experienced.

You’re never 100% safe from cyberattacks, no matter how careful you are. From malware to viruses to breaches, the best you can do is take precautions to lower your risk.
You may think it’s easy to detect a hacker on your phone. It’s not. The longer a hack goes undetected, the more damage it can do. Tap or click here to learn about signs that your phone is under attack.
Your first line of defense is an antivirus program. While it’s easy to turn to the countless free apps you can find online, remember that nothing is truly free. Keep reading to see why free antivirus apps are a terrible idea and one solution to protect all your devices.
Tracking, not protecting
Researchers at Cybernews looked at the 40 highest-ranking cleaning and antivirus apps on the Google Play Store. These apps have collectively been downloaded close to a billion times. Yikes!
You would think the most popular apps would be the best options. If so, you’re wrong.
Here are the three worst offenders by tracker count:
- Nova Security – Virus Cleaner: 30 trackers
- Fancy Booster – Cleaner, Antivirus & Speed Up: 23 trackers
- Antivirus, Virus Cleaner, Booster – Fancy security: 23 trackers
Super Antivirus and Virtual Guard were the only apps found to be completely free of trackers.
RELATED: Check your phone – Antivirus apps caught spreading banking malware
Failing the test
Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) is a mobile app that tests, analyzes and assesses the security level and vulnerability of apps for Android, iOS and Windows. Cybernews compiled a list of apps according to the MobSF security score, ranging from zero to 100.
The three lowest MobSF scores on the list were as follows:
- Smart Cleaner: 15
- Nova Security – Virus Cleaner: 10
- Safe Security – Antivirus, Booster, Phone Cleaner: 9
The three highest MobSF scores were better but still not great:
- Keep Clean Cleaner, Antivirus: 54
- Fancy Booster – Cleaner, Antivirus & Speed Up: 46
- Clean Guard Phone Cleaner: 41
High risk
The report shows that six of the apps contained “likely malicious links,” which can be used to steal your private information, banking credentials and more.
Malicious links were detected in the following apps:
- Dr.Capsule Antivirus, Cleaner: Three malicious links
- GO Security – Antivirus, AppLock, Booster: Two malicious links
- Virus Hunter 2021 Virus Scanner and Phone Cleaner: Two malicious links
- AVC Antivirus & Virus Cleaner: One malicious link
- Fancy Booster – Cleaner, Antivirus & Speed Up: One malicious link
- Phone Junk – Clean Master: One malicious link
Free at a cost
Aside from tracking you, antivirus apps that advertise themselves as free more often than not make up for it by other means:
- The no-cost angle is just an introduction. Do you want better protection? Break out your wallet.
- An antivirus app may not cost you money, but it will cost you privacy when it sells your data.
- Some free antivirus programs offer little or no protection at all.
- Low-quality apps have poor or malicious coding that can do more harm than good.
RELATED: Antivirus isn’t just for your computer – Here’s why you should protect your smartphone, too
Delete the offenders
If you installed any of the antivirus apps mentioned in the study or others that you got for free, you should get rid of them now. Here’s how:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- At the top right, tap the Profile icon.
- Tap Manage apps & devices > Manage.
- Tap the name of the app you want to delete.
- Tap Uninstall.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manny Machado seemed as happy to see brother-in-law Yonder Alonso as he did with hitting two home runs.
Machado, one of the hottest hitters in the majors, had two impressive homers and Nick Martinez threw seven strong innings to lead the San Diego Padres to a 2-1 victory against the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.
Alonso, who played with the Padres for four seasons during his big league career, made a surprise visit to the clubhouse to chat with Machado afterward. Alonso is currently an analyst with MLB Network.
“I just got surprised by that,” Machado said. “He just showed up. I just saw him in the booth in Denver this morning. He caught a flight and came over here. That's what family does. He's the best. I love him.”
Both homers by the $300 million third baseman came off left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Machado homered to straightaway center field with two outs in the first inning and then hit a shot into the second deck in left field with one out in the fourth.
Machado took over the team lead with seven homers. It was his first multi-homer game of the season and 31st of his career.
“I'm playing good baseball,” Machado said. “Continue doing that, it's all that matters.”
Machado and Eric Hosmer have been carrying the Padres in the absence of star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., who is out until mid-June or later with a broken left wrist. Machado came in leading the majors with 35 hits and tied for first with 23 runs and second behind Hosmer with a .365 average.
“I think we're playing good baseball overall,” Machado said. “Obviously myself and Hos are preforming at a high level but I think we're playing really good baseball overall as a group.”
San Diego’s Bob Melvin was at the ballpark but did not manage due to a non-COVID illness. He was replaced by bench coach Ryan Christenson.
Martinez (2-2) held the Marlins to one run and four hits in seven innings, struck out four and walked one. Taylor Rogers pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 12 chances.
“He's a freaking stud, man,” Martinez said of Machado. “He steps to the plate and is always a plate. Talk about a guy who can do it all, he can do it all. It's awesome to have that kind of player on your side, especially with this team and with him leading the way, you're always in the game. That gives pitchers a lot of confidence.”
Luzardo (2-2) allowed two runs and three hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked three.
After Machado's first homer, the Marlins tied it on Jesús Aguilar's one-out RBI single in the third. Martinez allowed consecutive singles to open the inning. After Aguilar's single, the right-hander got Jorge Soler to ground into a double-play.
HR NUMBERS
It was the 50th career homer at Petco Park for Machado, who signed with the Padres before the 2019 season. It was his ninth career multi-homer game at the downtown ballpark, the most by any player. Hunter Renfroe is next with six.
MOMENT OF SILENCE
The Padres held a moment of silence before the game for retired Associated Press photographer Lenny Ignlezi, who died Friday in Las Vegas at 74. Ignelzi spent nearly four decades producing breathtaking images of Hall of Fame sports figures, devastating wildfires and other major news in San Diego. Hall of Fame closer Trevor Hoffman said earlier this week that although Ignelzi photographed many other sports, the Padres were his “go-to team.”
UP NEXT
RHP Sandy Alcantara (2-1, 2.90) of the Marlins and RHP Yu Darvish (2-1, 4.44) of the Marlins are scheduled to start Friday night in the second game of the four-game series.

In the fifth episode of ‘Komi Can’t Communicate’ season 2, titled ‘Snowmen, Snowball Fight, Year’s End, and New Year’s Day,’ the show revolves around Najimi, Tadano, and Komi as they celebrate the first winter snow by playing outside and building a snowman. The titular protagonist later visits her grandmother, where she meets her cousin Akira, and the two have a great time together. Here’s everything you need to know about the ending of ‘Komi Can’t Communicate’ season 2 episode 5. SPOILERS AHEAD!
Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2 Episode 5 Recap
As she wakes up in the morning like any other ordinary day, Komi looks out of the window but surprisingly finds Najimi and Tadano standing and waving toward her. She wastes no time in joining them and learns that Najimi saw the snowfall early in the morning and decided to head to Tadano’s house immediately so that they could call others and play. When Tadano makes a small snowman, Najimi suggests to Komi that they should make a bigger one.
With each other’s help and a lot of hard work, the trio manages to build a huge snowman just outside Komi’s house. They take some break, after which they are joined by a few of their classmates and a group of elementary kids for a snow fight. While Najimi, Tadano, and the rest of the classmates form the high school team since the elementary kids are a player short, Komi has to join them. When the fight begins, Komi naturally becomes very defensive and cannot even manage to throw the snowballs at her classmates.
Meanwhile, an overexcited Najimi and Tadano just outplay the elementary team, who were initially determined to prove themselves. Within a few minutes, almost all of their players are eliminated, leaving Komi and Shiota as the only ray of hope. Having watched his comrades fall to the ground one by one, Shiota loses his patience and tries to go out on an all-out offensive attack leaving the protection of snow barriers behind. He manages to eliminate Tadano and Agari within a few seconds.
However, walking right in front of the enemy camp turns out to be a big mistake, and just when Shiota is about to turn his attention to other players from the opposing team, he receives a direct hit on his stomach and is immediately eliminated. Realizing that Komi is the only surviving member of their team, the elementary kids mentally give up the fight but are shocked when Komi walks straight toward the enemy team and eliminates Yamai to win the game.
Turn out that Yamai had eliminated her own team members because she wanted Komi to win the game. On new year’s eve, Komi’s family visits her grandmother’s place, where the titular protagonist meets her cousin Akira. The duo immediately hit it off, and Akira even teaches Komi to play hanafuda. Just when they are about to play against each other, their grandmother comes to the room and challenges the duo to play against her one by one.
Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2 Episode 5 Ending: Who Wins the Hanafuda Game?
The first match is played between Akira and Komi’s grandmother, who is absolutely confident of winning. Akira does not take her lightly and comes up with intelligent moves in the hopes of defeating her, but the grandmother turns out to be too good for her. She eventually manages to turn things around at the very last moment and wins. Meanwhile, when Komi’s turn comes to play the game, Akira has high hopes for her, but she also knows that her cousin has just barely familiarized herself with the hanafuda.
In the first few minutes, Komi follows one of Akira’s earlier advice to use the beautiful cards first. While this is a good strategy for beginner hanafuda players, it is not necessarily the best thing to do. As one move after another seems to backfire, Akira begins to lose all hope, but Komi has somehow used Five brights consecutively, which is the highest-scoring combination, and ends up winning the game.
How Does Komi Celebrate the New Year’s Day?
On new year’s day, Komi visits a shrine with her cousin and grandmother. She wears a traditional dress and looks so ravishing that she manages to draw the attention of everyone there. When she offers her prayers and makes a wish, her grandmother checks with Komi whether her last year’s wish came to be true. When she replies in the affirmative, her grandmother asks her to offer gratitude for the same, which Komi does without any questions.
Since one of the shrine maidens is missing that day, Komi joins Inaka to offer her assistance to the people. When she struggles to communicate properly, Inaka gives her a paper so that she can write instead of trying to speak to everyone. After a bit of struggle, she manages to do well. Later, when their work is over, Komi thanks Inaka and wishes that they will hopefully get along with each other this year.

Rubina Dilaik, who gained national fame after taking part in and winning Bigg Boss 14, has always managed to stay in the public eye ever since. Be it her fashion statements or travel vlogs with husband Abhinav Shukla, she has always enjoyed the attention of her fans and followers.
And now, she is at it again — this time, displaying her sync with nature. In her recent social media post, Rubina posted photos in some serene natural backgrounds that showed her enjoying a vacation in the hills.
The actor is enjoying a vacation in her hometown of Chaupal in Himachal Pradesh. She captioned the post “My village needs no filter” and we cannot agree more as the place is astoundingly beautiful. In a sophisticated black crop top and low-waist joggers, the Bigg Boss winner was seen on a casual stroll amid nature, exploring her home village.
She accessorised her look with black sunglasses, a sleek hairdo, and a cross-body bag. The post had 168,968 likes in less than 24 hours and an array of comments. Rubina’s sister Jyotika, who appears to have clicked the photos, hilariously demanded photo credits in the comment section.
Rubina is right now gearing up to perform some high-octane stunts for the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 12. The actor was recently confirmed as the first contestant on the show, hosted by Rohit Shetty. The 12th season will be shot in Cape Town, South Africa.
Confirming the news, Rubina said, “I have endured many obstacles in life that have made me stronger, and I am very motivated and excited to be on Khatron Ke Khiladi. I am confident that with Rohit Shetty sir’s guidance, I will be able to achieve more than I have set for myself. Much love to all my fans and I want them to support me in this new endeavour.”

Police: Father charged with first-degree murder in 17-year-old daughter’s death
TINLEY PARK, Ill. (Gray News) - Authorities in Illinois are investigating a deadly incident where a 17-year-old girl was killed.
The Village of Tinley Public Safety Department reports police were called to a home about 40 minutes north of downtown Chicago regarding a possible death investigation on May 1.
Officers said they discovered the body of a 17-year-old girl, later identified as Mia Maro, on the lower level of the house. They also found her father, Mohammed Almaru, 42, with self-inflicted wounds to his wrist and throat.
Almaru had ingested pills and was taken to Christ Hospital, where police said he was able to be stabilized.
A medical examiner determined Maro died as a result of multiple injuries and ruled her death a homicide, according to the public safety department.
Police said they could not speak to Maro’s father as he was being treated at the hospital. However, once he was able to be questioned and based on the evidence found, Almaru was charged with first-degree murder.
“I’d like to offer my sincerest condolences to everyone who knew and loved Mia,” Mayor Michael Glotz said. “By all accounts, she was a lovely young woman at the very beginning of her life, a life that she will now never get to fulfill. To her family, friends and fellow students at Andrew High School, we mourn her passing with you.”

SpaceX brought four astronauts home with a midnight splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, capping the busiest month yet for Elon Musk’s taxi service.The three U.S. astronauts and one German in the capsule were bobbing off the Florida coast, near Tampa, less than 24 hours after leaving the International Space Station. NASA expected to have them back in Houston later in the morning.
NASA’s Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron, and the European Space Agency’s Matthias Maurer, embraced the seven astronauts remaining at the station, before parting ways.“It’s the end of a six-month mission, but I think the space dream lives on,” Maurer said.SpaceX brought up their U.S. and Italian replacements last week, after completing a charter trip to the station for a trio of businessmen.That amounts to two crew launches and two splashdowns in barely a month.
Musk’s company has now launched 26 people into orbit in less than two years, since it started ferrying astronauts for NASA. Eight of those 26 were space tourists.
The newly returned astronauts said their mission was highlighted by the three visitors and their ex-astronaut escort who dropped by in April, opening up NASA’s side of the station to paying guests after decades of resistance. On the down side, they had to contend with a dangerous spike in space junk after Russia blew up a satellite in a missile test in mid-November.
More than 1,500 pieces of shrapnel spread across Earth’s orbit for years to come.While the war in Ukraine has caused tensions between the U.S. and Russia, the astronauts have stood by their Russian crewmates, and vice versa. Flight controllers in Houston and Moscow also continued to cooperate as always, according to NASA officials.
As he relinquished command of the space station earlier this week, Marshburn called it “a place of peace” and said international cooperation would likely be its lasting legacy.Russian Oleg Artemyev, the new commander, also emphasised the “peace between our countries, our friendship” in orbit and described his crewmates as brothers and sisters.Up there now are three Russians, three Americans and one Italian.
It was Marshburn’s third spaceflight, and the first for the three returning with him. Chari and Barron’s next stop could be the moon; they are among 18 U.S. astronauts picked for NASA’s Artemis moon-landing programme. Two others in that elite group are now at the space station. | https://www.financialexpress.com/lifestyle/science/spacex-brings-4-astronauts-home-with-midnight-splashdown/2514878/ | 2022-05-06T06:35:50Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/lifestyle/science/spacex-brings-4-astronauts-home-with-midnight-splashdown/2514878/ | false | 28 |

A building collapse one week ago in central China killed 53 people, state media reported Friday as the search of the large pile of debris ended after rescuers found 10 survivors.
Authorities said at a news conference that all the missing had been accounted for as of 3 a.m., state broadcaster CCTV said in an online post.
The residential and commercial building in the city of Changsha suddenly collapsed on the afternoon of April 29. Aerial photos showed it pancaked to about the second story between other buildings about six stories tall. At least nine people have been arrested on suspicion of ignoring building codes or committing other violations.
Survivors were pulled out of the rubble over several days. The 10th and last one was pulled out shortly after midnight on Thursday, 5 ½ days after the collapse. All of the survivors were reportedly in good condition after being treated in a hospital.
The arrested include the building owner, three people in charge of design and construction and five others who allegedly gave a false safety assessment for a guest house on the building’s fourth to sixth floors. The building also had residences, a café and a restaurant.
Rescuers used search dogs, hand tools, drones and electronic life detectors.
In an account of Monday’s rescue of the eighth survivor, state media said rescuers faced an unstable pile of rubble that they had to work around rather than demolish. Prior to the rescue, they were able to feed in video equipment to communicate with the girl and establish that one of her legs was trapped. They also fed in saline solution for her to drink.
U.S. & World
An increase in the number of collapses of self-built buildings in recent years prompted Chinese President Xi Jinping to call for additional checks to uncover structural weaknesses.
Poor adherence to safety standards, including the illegal addition of extra floors and failure to use reinforcing iron bars, is often blamed for such disasters. Decaying infrastructure such as gas pipes has also led to explosions and collapses. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/53-dead-china-building-collapse-search-trapped-ends-after-10-rescued/2960743/ | 2022-05-06T06:38:15Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/53-dead-china-building-collapse-search-trapped-ends-after-10-rescued/2960743/ | true | 26 |

Defenders inside Ukrainian steel mill refuse to surrender
LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian fighters battling Russian forces in the tunnels beneath Mariupol’s immense steel plant refused to surrender in the face of relentless attacks, with the wife of one commander saying they had vowed to “stand till the end.”
The fight in the last Ukrainian stronghold of the strategic port city reduced to ruins by the Russian onslaught appeared increasingly desperate amid growing speculation that President Vladimir Putin wants to present the Russian people with a battlefield triumph — or announce an escalation of the war — in time for Victory Day on Monday.
“They won’t surrender,” Kateryna Prokopenko said Thursday after speaking by phone to her husband, a leader of the steel plant defenders. “They only hope for a miracle.”
She said her husband, Azov Regiment commander Denys Prokopenko, told her he would love her forever. “I am going mad from this. It seemed like words of goodbye,” she said.
GRAPHIC: Videos used may contain disturbing content.
The Ukrainian military’s General Staff said Friday that “the blockade of units of the defense forces in the Azovstal area continues” and that the Russians, with aviation support, had resumed assault operations to take control of the sprawling plant.
Monday’s Victory Day is the biggest patriotic holiday on the Russian calendar, marking the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazi Germany. But as long as Ukrainians resist the takeover of the plant, “Russian losses will continue to build and frustrate their operational plans in southern Donbas,” the British Defense Ministry said in an assessment.
Some 2,000 Ukrainian fighters, by Russia’s most recent estimate, were holed up in a maze of tunnels and bunkers beneath Azovstal steelworks. A few hundred civilians were also believed trapped there.
“There are many wounded (fighters), but they are not surrendering,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. “They are holding their positions.”
“Just imagine this hell! And there are children there,” he said. “More than two months of constant shelling, bombing, constant death.”
The Russians managed to get inside the plant Wednesday with the help of an electrician who knew the layout, said Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s Internal Affairs Ministry.
“He showed them the underground tunnels which are leading to the factory,” Gerashchenko said in a video.
Zelenskyy said the attack was preventing evacuation of the remaining civilians, even as U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said another attempt was underway. “We must continue to do all we can to get people out of these hellscapes,” Guterres said.
The Kremlin denied its troops were storming the plant and has demanded the Ukrainians surrender. They have refused. Russia has also accused the fighters of preventing the civilians from leaving.
The fall of Mariupol would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, allow Russia to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops to fight elsewhere in the Donbas, the eastern industrial region that the Kremlin says is now its chief objective.
Capt. Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of the Azov Regiment, pleaded on Ukrainian TV for the evacuation of civilians and wounded fighters from the steelworks, saying soldiers were “dying in agony due to the lack of proper treatment.”
More than 100 civilians were rescued from the steelworks over the weekend. But many previous attempts to open safe corridors from Mariupol have fallen through, with Ukraine blaming shelling and firing by the Russians.
Meanwhile, 10 weeks into the devastating war, Ukraine’s military claimed it recaptured some areas in the south and repelled other attacks in the east, further frustrating Putin’s ambitions after his abortive attempt to seize Kyiv. Ukrainian and Russian forces are fighting village by village.
The General Staff in Kyiv said Russian forces were conducting surveillance flights, and in the hard-hit areas of Donetsk and Luhansk, Ukrainian forces repulsed 11 attacks and destroyed tanks and armored vehicles. Russia gave no immediate acknowledgement of those losses.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Russian forces are making only “plodding” progress in the Donbas.
There are growing suggestions that Ukraine might try to widen its push to seize more territory from Russia outside of Kharkiv, its second-largest city.
Ukrainian chief of defense, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said Thursday that a counteroffensive could begin to push Russian forces away from Kharkiv and Izyum, which has been a key node in Russia’s control of the eastern cauldron. Ukraine in recent days has driven Russian troops some 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Kharkiv, which has been repeatedly struck by Russian shelling.
Additional Ukrainian advances may spare the city from artillery strikes, as well as force Moscow to divert troops from other areas of the front line.
On Thursday, an American official said the U.S. shared intelligence with Ukraine about the location of a Russian flagship before the mid-April strike that sank it, one of Moscow’s highest-profile failures in the war.
The U.S. has provided “a range of intelligence” that includes locations of warships, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official said the decision to target the missile cruiser Moskva was purely a Ukrainian decision.
Fearful of new attacks surrounding Victory Day, the mayor of the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk urged residents to leave for the countryside over the long weekend and warned them not to gather in public places.
And the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, a key transit point for evacuees from Mariupol, announced a curfew from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning.
Mariupol, which had a prewar population of over 400,000, has come to symbolize the misery inflicted by the war. The siege of the city has trapped perhaps 100,000 civilians with little food, water, medicine or heat.
As the battle raged there, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Russian bombardment Thursday hit dozens of Ukrainian military targets, including troop concentrations in the east, an artillery battery near the eastern settlement of Zarozhne and rocket launchers near the southern city of Mykolaiv.
The war has devastated Ukraine’s medical infrastructure, Zelenskyy said in a video link to a charity event in the U.K. Nearly 400 health care facilities have been damaged or destroyed, he said.
“There is simply a catastrophic situation regarding access to medical services and medicines,” in areas occupied by Russian forces, he said. “Even the simplest drugs are lacking.”
With the challenge of mine-clearing and rebuilding after the war in mind, Zelenskyy announced the launch of a global fundraising platform called United24.
At the same time, Poland hosted an international donor conference that raised $6.5 billion in humanitarian aid. The gathering was attended by prime ministers and ambassadors from many European countries, as well as representatives of other nations and some businesses.
In addition, a Ukrainian cabinet body began to develop proposals for a comprehensive postwar reconstruction plan, while Zelenskyy also urged Western allies to put forward a program similar to the post-World War II Marshall Plan plan to help Ukraine rebuild.

The path to keeping the Democrats' majority in the House of Representatives in November's midterms runs right through the Valley of the Sun in Arizona. Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton, a former mayor of Phoenix, won his district handily in 2020, but a redrawn map landed him on the GOP list of targeted lawmakers in 2022.
The Republican field to take him on is diverse and determined to make the race about President Biden and the Democratic majority's record in Washington, while Stanton zeroes in on local issues.
The 4th Congressional District's political breakdown could mirror that of the state's overall — roughly a third Democrats, a third Republicans and a third independents.
Border and immigration issues are prominent
Tanya Wheeless is one of the six GOP candidates vying for the nomination to challenge Stanton in November. The Republican primary is more than three months away but Wheeless stands out in the field, having secured the endorsements of top House GOP leaders like Elise Stefanik and the backing of the Congressional Leadership Fund, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's super PAC, to help her compete.
After touring 21st Century Healthcare, a vitamin and supplement manufacturing company based in Tempe, Wheeless sat down with the company's leadership.
"What are the issues that you want me to go to Washington and fight for?" she asked.
Steve Snyder, the CEO, didn't hesitate.
"My first and foremost, it's immigration. Why are we playing games with these folks? If people want to come here and they want to work, we need workers," he said, before adding with a sigh: "And get the politics out of it."
Snyder said his company has not only had difficulty filling open positions, but also keeping workers that are in Arizona on green cards and are forced to leave because of government logjams with paperwork.
Wheeless told NPR she would support a targeted, not comprehensive, immigration bill in Congress.
"[Republicans are] really passionate about getting more boots on the ground for Border Patrol, [Democrats] really want something done on Dreamers, let's talk and see what we can do," she said.
But when it comes to immigration, the debate right now is less about bringing in workers and more about border security.
Stanton deliberately put distance between himself and the Biden administration when it comes to the border, especially its plan to lift Title 42 next month — a policy put in place under former President Donald Trump that barred migrants from entering the country during the pandemic.
"I've been critical of this administration for not doing more on getting a modernized immigration system that advances our economy, including immigration reform," Stanton told NPR in his Phoenix office. "And I've been critical on the lack of preparedness for what's going to happen at the border if Title 42 goes away."
He sidestepped a question about whether the president or other high ranking administration officials need to visit the border, repeating his critique: "I need to see that this administration has a strong plan to prepare for what may happen, and I haven't seen it yet."
A new Arizona map is less favorable to Democrats
Stanton won his reelection bid two years ago in what had been the 9th Congressional District by more than 20 points. The new map, which carves out Scottsdale and parts of Phoenix and adds redder areas of Mesa to the new 4th District, is less favorable to Democrats.
But Stanton insists his strategy for the 2022 campaign won't change from his earlier bids for local office and for Congress.
"I'm going to talk a lot about my record because I am a mayor at heart," he said. "I have a track record of success and a track record of successfully reaching across the aisle to get things done for the people that I represent. That's always been how I've operated. That's always how I'm going to operate."
That record includes bipartisan efforts in Congress, including the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that passed the Senate last August. Stanton touts his seat on the panel that crafted the bill.
The Arizona Democrat spent much of the two week spring recess pointing to his track record at steering federal money – earmarks in this year's spending bill – to his district. After the GOP banned them for years, arguing the practice was corrupt and added to overspending, Democrats brought them back. Members of both parties, especially those in competitive seats, are highlighting the federal infusion into local projects.
Today I announced $300,000 in community project funding to @MayorGiles and @CITYOFMESA.
— Rep. Greg Stanton (@RepGregStanton) April 19, 2022
This funding will help downtown small businesses pay for storefront improvements and give a fresh face to Mesa’s thriving economy. pic.twitter.com/yVXrgLV3mG
"I work very closely with the cities that I'm lucky enough to represent in Congress, to go after their priorities, and the best way to do that is through the community project funding process," Stanton said. "There were some really good ones: water projects for the city of Chandler, helping small business in the city of Mesa."
But some of Stanton's constituents say, while those projects are fine, Democrats in Washington overpromised on what they could get done.
"It reminds me of a high school, like when there was someone running for class president," said Christina Sykes, an independent voter from Mesa. "They're like, 'We're going to give you pizza every day for lunch and Kool Aid in the water fountains.' So I'm like, well, you know, show up! You guys not showing up."
Democratic voters are also feeling disappointment
"They don't have anything to show. You have the House, the Senate, the White House, what did you accomplish?" asked Democrat Kelly Knepper. "I'm still waiting for student loan debt to be canceled."
Her partner Brian Knepper said Democrats made inroads in certain areas like pandemic aid and the confirmation of the first Black female Supreme Court justice, but aren't advertising their successes effectively.
"I think the things they didn't do are outshining the things they did do," he said. "In 10 years, we're going to recognize the benefits of a lot of this legislation and the impact it's had on this country, but no one is talking that up now and so no credit is being given for the accomplishments."
Knepper didn't mince words when it came to expectations for November:
"It feels like almost a foregone conclusion that they are going to lose the House and the Senate as soon as it is possible."
When asked about demoralized Democrats and concerns over potential low turnout in the midterm election, Stanton repeatedly said his strategy is keeping the conversation local and reminding constituents about his ties here.
"I've successfully won all of [my] elections by doing exactly what I'm going to do in this election: let people know who I am and what I have done," he said. "The voters know who has gone to work for them in advancing their interests and they also trust me."
COVID shutdowns loom large
Mike Tomlinson, from Chandler, is a conservative voter. He points to inflation and border security as issues people in the area are feeling now, but says he's focused on education, and that the memory of kids being kept out of classrooms during the pandemic still stings.
"Kids lost out on, gosh, 18 months, two years of schooling," he said. "I had a son that graduated in 2020, and, you know, there wasn't really a graduation."
Diane Ortiz-Parsons, a Republican from Mesa, is engaged in local campaigns and a retired teacher. She said the impact of the pandemic is still a major issue.
"I'm concerned about the amount of depression that I see. I hear of people's kids that are needing to go to therapy," she said. "Our churches are overwhelmed with people that need extra help right now."
Republican challengers like Wheeless say the way the pandemic was handled is part of the reason people will vote to switch party control of Congress.
"What I'm hearing from people is they're very unhappy with some key kitchen table issues," Wheeless said. "'My kids were locked out of school, the price of gas has gone up, it costs me more when I go to the grocery store. That ain't good and I want change.'"
Stanton said he plans to spend time back home talking about how Congress provided COVID-relief, like loans to businesses who were able to keep their doors open.
"We're going to talk about the work that we did during the worst pandemic in a hundred years to support families so that they could pay their bills and pay the rent."
Turning out the vote
Hispanic voters in the district are expected to be targeted by both parties.
Wheeless, whose grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico, says she's a candidate who can help Republicans extend the inroads they made with Hispanic voters in the last election.
"We've got a message that particularly resonates with the Hispanic community, which is about faith, freedom, entrepreneurship," she said.
Stanton maintained he's been able to attract support from voters across the political spectrum.
Ortiz-Parsons, who said Democrats have "taken Hispanic voters for granted," added that she thinks Biden's low approval ratings will help swing independent voters to her party.
"Our greatest friend right now is President Biden. I expect real close to a complete sweep, because he's showing how poorly Democrats can run the country," she said. "All those independents, I'm expecting them to come our way."

The Republican Party, which has preached “small government” and wove “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, is starting to sound more hypocritical by the day. The recent leaked Supreme Court draft set to overturn Roe v. Wade is resulting in widespread celebration by Republicans and evangelicals alike.
I argue that anyone waving “Don’t Tread on Me” flags and preaching “small government” should be disgusted by the government regulating a person’s private life. After all, it was enshrined into the Constitution in Griswold v. Connecticut that we have a right to privacy.
The Constitution is a living document, from Supreme Court interpretations to the amendments. The Constitution never was perfect, and it’s why we changed it time after time again — for women to vote, to free the slaves and dozens of other times.
Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, put the Constitution’s “living and changing” behavior as such:
“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times.”
And for evangelicals, who ultimately believe that our “nation is falling apart and straying from God,” I quote Mark 12:17: “Then Jesus said to them ‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God’s.’”
Leave God and the government separate. We aren’t Iran, Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan. Besides, why should you concern yourself with the “sins” of others? John 8:7 states “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Nigerian airlines have expressed disgust over a sudden increase in price of aviation fuel from N500 to N680.
A source within one of the airlines revealed that despite the resolution reached by stakeholders in March that the price of fuel would be pegged at N500 pending the determination of a substantive uniform price, fuel marketers have again increased the cost to N680. With the newly revised price which has already taken effect, aviation fuel now sells for N680 in Kano and its environs, N650 in Abuja and N600 in Lagos and its environs.
Daily Sun learned that this development has caused major consternation among airlines, many of which are still recovering from the very low passenger traffic of the first quarter of 2022. An airline source said that with the increase, their services will be impacted negatively and some airlines may contemplate shutting down as they would not be able to cope with the high cost of operations.
During one of the meetings held in March at the instance of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation, Airline Operators in Nigeria (AON) threatened to shut down operations over the non-availability of aviation fuel to run their operations as fuel marketers tried to convince the House on why the prices of the product have skyrocketed. | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/domestic-airlines-lament-as-marketers-increase-fuel-price-to-n680/ | 2022-05-06T06:59:14Z | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/domestic-airlines-lament-as-marketers-increase-fuel-price-to-n680/ | false | 1 |

Hollywood actress Amber Heard broke down as she told a jury that her former husband and actor Johnny Depp had sexually assaulted her with a bottle during a fight in Australia. According to 'Variety', Heard took the stand for the second day on Thursday, as she continued to recount a series of violent incidents that marked their relationship. She said the fight in Australia during filming of the fifth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film in March 2015 was prompted by Depp's jealousy and her concern about his drug use. Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard Defamation Trial Day 14 - Watch Live Streaming & Coverage of Court Proceedings from Virginia.
She said Depp had repeatedly hit her, threw bottles at her and choked her against a refrigerator, before finally getting her on top of a countertop and penetrating her with a bottle. "I remember just not wanting to move," 'Variety' quoted the actress as saying. She said she remembered thinking: "Please, God, I hope it's not broken." She said Depp repeatedly said: "I'll f***ing kill you."
Heard is defending herself in a $50 million defamation trial. Depp has accused her of fabricating her domestic violence allegations to advance her career. His lawsuit alleges that he lost out on the sixth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film and other movie roles after Heard referred to herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse" in a December 2018 op-ed. Heard began her testimony on Wednesday afternoon, recounting how she first met Depp and fell in love with him.

But she said she also discovered that Depp could become extremely jealous, especially when drunk or high, and fly into rages. On Thursday, she told the jury about a flight on a private jet in May 2014, when she claimed that Depp slapped her and then kicked her to the floor. She also told the jury of other violent episodes, in Tokyo, and on Depp's private island in the Bahamas. She said Depp could be verbally cruel, calling her a "wh***", a "s**t" and a "fat a**".
Depp has denied ever assaulting Heard. He already told the jury his own version of events surrounding the Australia fight, alleging that she severed his fingertip when she threw a bottle at him. Heard has previously testified about these incidents during a trial in the UK, but the details of the alleged sexual assault were kept confidential in that proceeding.
In her testimony on Thursday, Heard also said she ended up with cuts on her arms and feet from the broken glass. She said, at one point, Depp had held a broken bottle to her jaw, and threatened to "carve up my face". She said the next morning she found a series of messages that Depp had written on the walls in his own blood and in paint. Heard also told the jury about a fight in December 2015, when she said that Depp dragged her by the hair up the stairs. He said the two got into a shoving match, and that Depp head-butted her squarely in the nose.
She said she instantly felt searing pain in her nose. Depp previously testified that he was trying to restrain Heard from hitting him by putting her in a bear hug, and the contact was incidental. Later that night, Heard said that she told Depp that she was going to leave him. She said that Depp dragged her into another room, threw her on a bed, and kneeled on her back.
She said he repeatedly punched her, and screamed in her ear: "I fucking hate you!a She said she could not breathe. "I thought, 'This is how I die'," she said. "He's going to kill me now. He's going to kill me, and he won't even have realised it."
The trial will take a one-week break before testimony resumes on May 16, when Heard will return to the stand. She is yet to complete her direct testimony, and Depp's lawyers will then have the opportunity to cross-examine her. Judge Penney Azcarate told the jury that closing arguments are set for May 27.

What a night at Ibrox.
Rangers are off to the Europa League Final after a thrilling, emotional victory over RB Leipzig.
In a week where the club lost its beloved kitman Jimmy Bell, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's players delivered a performance and result to make the club legend proud.
A 1-0 deficit from the first leg was blown away by first-half strikes from James Tavernier and Glen Kamara to send a white hot Ibrox wild.
Christopher Nkunku's brilliant volley levelled the tie after the break before John Lundstram struck late to set up a Seville showdown with Eintracht Frankfurt.
It's Rangers ' first European final appearance since Manchester in 2008 and it's expected both clubs will descend on the Spanish city in massive numbers.
The dust has barely settled on Thursday night's rollercoaster ride as reaction from across the world continues to pour in.
Fans, pundits and yes, even some rivals, have doffed their caps to Van Bronckhorst's men on an incredible achievement.
But it could yet get even better on May 18.
Follow our LIVE blog below for all the latest reaction to an Ibrox night for the ages.
Key Events
What the pundits said
The reaction to Rangers ' momentous Europa League victory continues to pour in and the pundits have had plenty to say.
John Lundstram's strike will go down in history and it puts Gio van Bronckhorst 's team 90 minutes away from glory in Seville.
Here's what the Rangers pundits had to say after the game.
The £45m game awaits
Rangers are in line for a whopping cash bounty if they defeat Eintracht Frankfurt and lift the Europa League.
Supporters are dreaming of success both on and off the pitch after a pulsating 3-1 win over Leipzig secured a Final berth.
The Ibrox side will earn an eye-popping £7.3m for defeating the Germans in Seville - taking their total to around £20m for their endeavours in this season's tournament.
And a win will not only rewrite the Rangers history books, it will secure the club £25m and direct entry into next season's Champions League.
That will see them bank a cast-iron £45m cash windfall but that will likely exceed £50m when factoring in ticket sales and merchandise.
World media react with 'there's nowhere like Ibrox'
A night for the ages at Ibrox sets up the prospect of a triumph that will be remembered forever.
Rangers are in the Europa League Final, carried by a white-hot Ibrox shaken to its very foundations on one of the club's most famous nights.
Trailing RB Leipzig by a single goal from the first leg, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side ran out 3-1 winners to book their place in Seville for a historic showdown with Eintracht Frankfurt.
It was a night of both high drama and turbulent emotions as the club mourned the death of beloved kitman Jimmy Bell earlier this week.
The late Ibrox hero's memory was honoured with an occasion and performance to make him proud.
Goals from James Tavernier, Glen Kamara and an already iconic John Lundstram winner after Christopher Nkunku had levelled the tie sparked quite incredible scenes that have been beamed across the globe.
Rangers have forced the world's media to sit up and take notice and again there were no shortage of awestruck, stunned verdicts on Friday morning.
Here's a selection of the best.
Keith Jackson's verdict
Where do you even start? How is it possible to put into words the heroism and drama which was witnessed at Ibrox last night?
Or sum up the emotion and the passion which engulfed the old ground until it felt as if it might be suffocating?
This was not just a football match, not even a European semi-final. It was a succession of punches to the face and test of endurance like no other.
And somehow, when it was all over, Rangers emerged from the mayhem with a place in Seville secured and a shot at the Europa League title.
Good morning!
Safe to assume there wasn't much sleep to be had last night, Rangers fans?
Never mind, our LIVE blog is here to keep you basking in the glory of a Europa League night for the ages.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the spin-off prequel that takes us back to the USS Enterprise, where Captain Pike and his crew – including iconic characters Spock and Uhura – once sought new life and new civilizations. It’s the series Trekkies and Trekkers have been waiting for, and below we explain how to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds online from anywhere in the world now.

Created by Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman, Strange New Worlds is set 10 years before James. T. Kirk became captain of the USS Enterprise. Here, it’s presided over by Chris Pike (charmingly played by Anson Mount); an incidental character who emerged from the original series’ failed pilot to gain fan-favorite status nearly 60 years later.
The Enterprise and its pre-Kirk crew were featured on Discovery season 2 when their ship suffered major damage. It was the first time that actors Anson, Ethan Peak and Rebecca Romijn had portrayed the characters of Pike, Spock, and First Officer Una Chin-Riley respectively. Yet the trio were such a hit with fans that a spin-off was virtually guaranteed.
The show also stars Christina Chong, Melissa Navia, and Celia Rose Gooding as a young Nyota Uhura, in what promises to be a rip-roaring return to the optimistic tone and “alien-of-the-week” excitement of Gene Roddenberry’s original TV series. So, set your phasers to stun as we detail how to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds online – and from anywhere in the world.

A drug driver, who was high on cocaine, lost control of his car at 75mph and slammed into a tree and lamppost, leaving a mum with horrific life-changing injuries.
Michael Zainne Francis walked away with just bruising, but his 21-year-old female passenger suffered multiple fractures, two collapsed lungs, bleeding on the brain, damage to her liver, pancreas, and a kidney, and suffered a stroke, and spent two months in hospital, reports Wales Online

Following the incident, South Wales Police roads policing officers said the injuries suffered by the passenger are the worst they have ever seen in a crash where the victim survived.
In a statement which was read to the court, the victim described life-changing impact her injuries have had on her and her family. She said her daughter had almost lost her mam in the crash, and it was only the need to be there for her little girl that kept her going.
Swansea Crown Court heard Francis failed a roadside test for cocaine following the smash but refused to give a sample of blood for analysis, and sending him down a judge said even while his passenger was gravely injured in hospital the defendant had not been man enough to own up to what he had done, and was only thinking only about himself.
Brian Simpson, prosecuting, said the crash happened on the entrance to the village of Pontlliw in the early hours of August 12 last year. The speed limit where the crash happened is 30mph. Mr Simpson said 33-year-old Francis had driven his female passenger to the McDonald's drive-thru in Penllergaer to buy food, stopping at the Cross service station on Swansea Road the way to buy petrol - staff working at both these premises formed the impression the defendant was under the influence of substances due to his behaviour and the way he was speaking.
The court heard that as Francis' VW Scirocco sped along the A48 on approach to Pontlliw the driver took a bend on the wrong side of the road then left the carriageway and slammed into a tree and a lamppost. The prosecutor said such was the force of the impact, the entire passenger side of the car was "effectively torn away". Other motorists who arrived on the scene moments later used their cars to block the road, and rang 999. The court heard the passenger of the Scirocco was laying on the road while Francis was seen to be wandering around asking for his phone charger and appearing "high as a kite" and "out of it". The court heard crash investigators subsequently found the speedometer in the VW was frozen at 75mph, and that there were no signs of any emergency braking or evasive manoeuvres having been undertaken in the moments before impact.
The court heard Francis failed a roadside test for cocaine and then became aggressive with the officers who were dealing with him, spitting in the face of one and threatening to "bite his face off". He was taken to hospital where he refused to allow his blood to be tested. A subsequent search of the defendant's house uncovered a so-called zombie knife and a knuckleduster, both of which are illegal to own.
Meanwhile the female casualty was treated at the scene before being taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. The court heard she suffered fractures to her pelvis, thigh, arms, and back, two collapsed lungs, internal bleeding, injuries to her liver, pancreas, and a kidney, and bleeding on the brain, and that she subsequently suffered a stroke which has impaired her mobility and vision. She underwent nine separate operations, and was in hospital for a total of two months.
In a statement which was read to the court, the victim described the physical and emotional injuries she suffered in the smash, and the life-changing impact they have had on and her family. She said her daughter had almost lost her mam in August last year, and it was only the need to be there for her little girl that kept her going.
Francis, of Iscoed Road, Hendy, had previously pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving, assaulting a police officer, failing to provide a specimen for analysis, and two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a private place when he appeared in the dock for sentencing. He has 18 previous convictions for 27 offences including driving with excess alcohol, driving while unfit through drink or drugs, driving while disqualified, robbery, and drug trafficking.
David Singh, for Francis, said the defendant recognised the terrible impact his behaviour had had on on his passenger, and said the only real mitigation he could offer were the guilty pleas.
Judge Geraint Walters said Francis had clearly been under the influence of substances when he decided to get behind the wheel of "a potentially weapon weapon". He said in his years as a barrister and a judge he had never seen a car suffer so much damage in a crash in which people survived - adding it was "nothing short of a miracle" that nobody had been killed. The judge noted that even as Francis knew his passenger was gravely ill in hospital he had refused to allow a sample of his blood to be tested, and that "self-preservation" was his main thought, something he said which showed contempt for his victim and that he was "not man enough" to face the reality of what he had done.
He added that the maximum sentence for causing serious injury by dangerous driving was five years in prison before any discount for a guilty plea, a maximum which he and many others thought was not long enough.
With a discount for his guilty pleas Francis was sentenced to three years and four months for the driving offence and two months for assaulting the police officer to run consecutively making an overall sentence of three-and-a-half years. He was sentenced to three months for each of the two weapon offences and to two months for failing to provide a sample, all to run concurrently with each other and with the lead sentence. The defendant will serve up to half the three-and-a-half years in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community. Francis was banned from driving for a total of six years and eight months, and must pass an extended test before he can get his licence back.
Speaking after the sentencing, South Wales Police roads policing officers said the injuries suffered by the passenger were the worst they have ever seen in a collision where the victim survived.
What do you think of the sentence? Let us know in the comments section
Senior investigating officer detective sergeant Lee Christer said: "Michael Francis’s reckless actions that day left a young female with horrific life-changing injuries. If it wasn’t for the quick response from officers and emergency services at the scene, and the expert medical care she received from the staff at University Hospital Wales, I’m not sure she would’ve survived.
"I hope this sentence affords Francis the opportunity to reflect on the gravity of what he has done. I also hope it sends a strong message to other motorists and encourages them to think when they get behind the wheel. Speeding and driving under the influence of drugs are two of the leading factors in serious and fatal collisions in Wales, and when driven recklessly and irresponsibly, cars can be lethal weapons as this case has so tragically."

An Idaho taxpayer who is active in Republican politics filed a complaint with three different state agencies Wednesday afternoon asking for an investigation into whether Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin’s limited office hours violate state law.
Lynn Bradescu, a Boise-area real estate agent, sent a written complaint via email to the Idaho Attorney General’s Office, the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office and Gov. Brad Little’s office, public records obtained by the Idaho Capital Sun indicate.
McGeachin is running for governor in the May 17 Republican primary election, where she faces off against Little and a field of six other GOP candidates.
In the complaint, Bradescu flagged a section of Idaho law that pertains to office hours for public officials in the state of Idaho.
“Unless otherwise provided by law, every office must keep his office open for transaction of business from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day except upon Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and days upon which office closure is due to mandatory leave without pay,” the section of law reads.
A sign posted to the outside of the door to McGeachin’s office at the Idaho State Capitol on Wednesday indicated her office hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The voicemail greeting for McGeachin’s office also indicates the hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
An Idaho Capital Sun reporter called McGeachin’s office and knocked on the door outside her office shortly before 1:45 p.m. Wednesday but did not receive a response. A curtain was drawn over the glass in her office, and the lights appeared to be off.
“Given the Idaho Legislature funded the Office of the Lt. Governor to include three full time positions, I am asking you on behalf of taxpayers to investigate if the office is in violation of this law,” Bradescu wrote in her complaint.
McGeachin’s office faces budget shortfall over her lawsuit loss
McGeachin is working without a paid staff after state officials have repeatedly warned her that she is projected to run a budget deficit at the end of the 2022 fiscal year, which ends June 30.
McGeachin’s budget problems began after an Idaho district judge in 2021 ordered her to pay almost $29,000 in legal fees and costs to the Idaho Press Club, which sued McGeachin for access to public records she improperly withheld. The Idaho Press Club won the case, and the judge ordered McGeachin to turn over the records, which showed public comment was heavily critical of McGeachin and her 2021 education task force.
The state has also paused vendor payments from McGeachin’s office, and McGeachin has told state officials to withhold her salary and benefits to avoid a budget shortfall. However, on Monday, a state budget administrator warned McGeachin that state law places limitations on the ability to reduce an elected constitutional officer’s salary midterm in order to prevent a budget shortfall.
The Idaho Constitution prohibits the state and elected officials, such as the lieutenant governor, from spending more money than authorized by the Idaho Legislature.
On Monday, McGeachin issued a statement saying her office budget is balanced.
“The media continues to manufacture controversy where none exists,” McGeachin said in her statement. “The Lt. Governor’s budget is balanced. Our office had some unanticipated legal expenses due to the Idaho Press Club suing us because of our efforts to prevent conservative Idahoans and their children from being doxed by the media.
“Our office has made the necessary cuts and adjustments to cover those costs, and Idaho taxpayers will not need to provide any additional funding for this office,” McGeachin added.
During the recent 2022 legislative session, McGeachin tried to get the Idaho Legislature’s Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee to approve almost $29,000 in additional taxpayer funding for her office, but JFAC never acted on McGeachin’s request.
McGeachin was not at her office Wednesday, but she was preparing for and promoting a Wednesday evening gubernatorial campaign event that is set to feature an appearance by former Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin, who the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti Defamation League says has ties to, and has appeared on stage with, white nationalists.
Complaint stems from Idahoan active in Republican politics
Bradescu, the Idahoan who filed the complaint, is active in local Republican politics and has made campaign donations to several GOP candidates running for office in 2022, including Ed Humphreys, one of McGeachin’s primary opponents.
Bradescu is president of the Ada County Lincoln Day Association, and is a District 19 legislative chairwoman and a neighborhood precinct committeewoman.
In March, Bradescu wrote an opinion piece that ran in the Idaho Capital Sun calling for McGeachin to resign and urging more Republicans to condemn her.
Publicly available online campaign finance records indicate that Bradescu has also made campaign contributions or in-kind donations to lieutenant governor candidate Priscilla Giddings, secretary of state candidate Phil McGrane, legislative candidate Sebastian Griffin, Ada County sheriff candidate Douglas Traubel, former Boise City Council candidate Greg MacMillan, as well as Humphreys and the Blaine and Gooding county Republican central committees.
The winners of the May 17 primary election advance to the Nov. 8 general election.

Technavio presents a detailed picture of the market by the way of study, synthesis, and summation of data from multiple sources. Our market report covers the following areas:
CBD Skincare Market 2020-2024: Driver
The skincare benefits offered by CBD is one of the key drivers supporting the CBD skincare market growth.

Therefore, the numerous skincare benefits of CBD make it a popular ingredient in many skincare products.

The easy availability of counterfeit products is one of the factors hindering the CBD skincare market growth. Counterfeiting has increased over the past few years, as consumers prefer low-priced products to expensive ones. The digital era makes it possible for counterfeiters to sell their products without a prior product review or inspection. Therefore, the presence of numerous counterfeit products can lead to market fragmentation, which can lead to the lack of price standardization, an uneven competitive scenario, and the erosion of market share held by international vendors. Moreover, there are several countries across the world where the selling of CBD skincare products has yet not been legalized. This has led to the illegal sales of CBD skincare products in these countries where the products offered by the manufacturers do not adhere to the general standards associated with the manufacturing, labeling, and selling of these products. Such factors are hindering market growth.

Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc on Wednesday gave an early glimpse of its first physical store, which features a floor-to-ceiling screen for showing off games on its virtual reality headsets and rooms for testing video calling devices.
The store, set to open on May 9, is located at the main campus for Meta's Reality Labs unit, in the Silicon Valley town of Burlingame, California. The unit is developing the hardware products the company aims to sell there, including Ray-Ban smart glasses, Portal video-calling devices and Oculus VR headsets.
With blonde wood and minimalist decor, the store design echoes the aesthetic pioneered by Apple Inc when it set up retail stores more than two decades ago.
The opening of the Meta store makes tangible what is largely a theoretical future business for the world's largest social media company, which has invested heavily in virtual and augmented reality in a push to build the "metaverse," a term used to describe immersive, shared virtual spaces.
Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg says the metaverse could be the world's next big computing platform, but he has warned that it may take about a decade for the company's bets to pay off.
In the meantime, with growth slowing and the company still almost entirely reliant on digital ads for revenue, Meta is cutting back on some of its long-term investments.
In addition to promoting its hardware devices to consumers, Meta is increasingly pitching them to businesses. It gave a demonstration at the store of conference calls that can feature a mix of virtual reality avatars and traditional video calling.
The company is experimenting with augmented reality technology that would enable users to join conferences as avatars via Portal, without donning headsets, said Micah Collins, a director of product management working on the enterprise tools.
Collins acknowledged the enterprise metaverse business is nascent, and a spokesperson said most usage of Horizon Workrooms, the VR conferencing technology, comes from inside Meta.
Still, Collins said, the company senses opportunity.
Although many products are still very early stage and known in their consumer context, "there's enough there that's giving us a lot of confidence to attack the space," he said. | https://www.ndtv.com/business/facebook-owner-meta-gives-preview-of-its-first-physical-store-2950994 | 2022-05-06T07:51:00Z | https://www.ndtv.com/business/facebook-owner-meta-gives-preview-of-its-first-physical-store-2950994 | true | 12 |

Grosjean borrows from 'Days of Thunder' in response to Rahal
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Romain Grosjean used a line from the movie "Days of Thunder" to shrug off criticism from Graham Rahal following late contact between the two in last week's IndyCar race.
"Racing is rubbing, or rubbing is racing," Grosjean told The Associated Press on Thursday in the paddock ahead of this weekend's Formula One Miami Grand Prix. "I don't know, I was on for some good points and I wanted more."
Grosjean was then stopped by an old acquaintance; warmly greeted by a former team member; and greeted in French by a fellow countryman. He's been out of F1 since his fiery wreck in late 2020 and now races in IndyCar, where in one season he was voted the series' most popular driver and moved into a seat with Andretti Autosport.
Grosjean has relocated his family from Switzerland to the Miami area and is back in the paddock for the inaugural event as a race ambassador. He is also coming off a Sunday incident at Barber Motorsport Park in Alabama that drew a scathing rebuke from Rahal.
The two were battling for seventh and eighth and Rahal felt he gave Grosjean enough room for a fair race for position. Instead, he alleged Grosjean intentionally hit him and then attacked Grosjean's reputation.
Grosjean was winless in 10 seasons in F1, was suspended one race a decade ago for his role in a crash and escaped burning to death when he freed himself from fiery wreckage with two races remaining in his F1 career.

"Another driver in the series told me, `You can´t teach an old dog new tricks,´ and that´s kind of been his reputation his whole career in Europe," Rahal said. "We´re learning his reputation quickly here. To me, if race control doesn´t want to do anything, then they´re not going to do anything. But when we go and punt him, they better not do anything to me, when in the past, I´ve been penalized for a lot less than that."
Grosjean was unbothered by Rahal's assessment.
"It was racing. That's it. Yeah," he shrugged.
His focus was on his return to the F1 paddock, where he remains a popular figure. Grosjean is thrilled for former teammate Kevin Magnussen - the two lost their jobs together at the end of 2020 but Magnussen was called back to Haas this year - and has been pleasantly surprised by Haas' improvement.
"I'm really happy for Kevin. Every time we spoke, even at Sebring testing, he was really looking to get back into a single-seater," Grosjean said. "He wanted to do IndyCar and then a couple of weeks later, he's back in Formula One with a team that is able to give him a good car. So that's very nice."
His hands still bare the scars of his crash but Grosjean has moved on. He's content in IndyCar driving the full season for Andretti and ready to make his Indianapolis 500 debut later this month. Grosjean is eighth in the standings, but has one podium finish and was fifth in the season-opener.
"Andretti is going pretty good," Grosjean smiled. "We need to start winning."
And then The Phoenix was off to another appearance.
