The opener of a three-game series between the Dodgers and Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago was rained out on Friday, with the two teams expected instead to play a split doubleheader on Saturday.
Saturday’s games will start at 10:05 a.m. PT and 4:40 p.m. PT.
The Dodgers will use the same starting pitchers as previously planned, just in a different order. Clayton Kershaw starts the first game, while Tyler Anderson is set to pitch the nightcap. Chicago originally planned to start left-hander Justin Steele on Saturday, but changed things up a bit with Friday’s rainout.
From Cubs: Saturday's probable starters will be Drew Smyly (Game 1) and Daniel Norris (Game 2).
— Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) May 6, 2022
Smyly will be returning from MLB's bereavement list. It'll be Norris first start since Aug. 2, 2020, with the Tigers.
It’s the first rainout for the Dodgers since almost exactly one years ago, May 3, 2021, when a series opener against the Cubs at Wrigley Field was postponed. The doubleheader played the next day included two games scheduled for seven innings, though under the new collective bargaining agreement, doubleheader games are back to nine innings.
The Dodgers did have a long rain delay earlier this season, when the eighth inning featured an 88-minute weather break in a 7-2 win over the Twins at Target Field in Minnesota.
For the doubleheader on Saturday, both the Dodgers and Cubs will be allowed to carry a 27th player on the active roster, with that one extra player available for the second game. That player is not subject to the normal waiting period if it was a player who was optioned (10 days for position players, 15 days for pitchers). The one day up in the majors would still count as part of his optional assignment for purposes of counting days, and getting sent back to the minors would not count against the five-option limit this season.
The extra player can, and almost certainly will, be a pitcher, with teams allowed to carry 15 pitchers on the 27-man roster for one game rather than the current 14-pitcher limit.
The Dodgers and Cubs also play a four-game weekend series this season on July 7-10 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, followed by a shared off day for both teams on Monday, July 11. | https://www.truebluela.com/2022/5/6/23021486/dodgers-cubs-rainout-wrigley-field | 2022-05-06T17:52:31Z | https://www.truebluela.com/2022/5/6/23021486/dodgers-cubs-rainout-wrigley-field | true | 1 |
Thursday was yet another solid day on the recruiting front for Ohio State. After seeing some more positive momentum for the 2023 class in terms of visit dates being scheduled and making a top schools list, you get the feeling the next couple of months are going to be pretty exciting times for this class and the Buckeyes overall. Without further hesitation, here’s a look at yesterday’s happenings.
Official visit set for nation’s best safety
Ohio State currently has two safeties committed in their 2023 recruiting class. Thanks to commitments from both Cedrick Hawkins and Malik Hartford, position coach Perry Eliano is off to a really solid start in his short time with the Buckeyes on the recruiting trail. Still, with the defense that Coach Knowles runs, Ohio State is still actively pursuing elite safeties to join the fold, and are fortunate enough to be in the mix for some of the top guys this cycle has to offer.
On Thursday, the top target on Ohio State’s board at the safety spot gave the coaching staff some good news for later this summer. The nation’s top safety and the 10th best player overall per 247Sports, Caleb Downs took to his Twitter account to share that his official visit with the Buckeyes was locked in for June 24-26, which is already shaping up to be one of the biggest recruiting weekends of the summer for Ryan Day and his crew. Having Downs on-hand for this visit will be a major opportunity for the Buckeyes, and hopefully can put them over the top as he continues his recruitment process.
At 6-foot, 185 pounds, Downs has every intangible and asset any college program is looking for in their safety prospects. The Georgia native has range, ball skills, and the ability to come downhill in run support with the best of them. At nearly 40 offers to his name from every major program in the country, it’s easy to see why Downs is considered the top player at his position in the 2023 class and a unanimous five-star target.
Getting him back to Columbus is everything the coaching staff wants and certainly the red carpet will be rolled out in full display as they look to land their top guy on the board.

Bucks make the cut for top-10 receiver prospect
If you watched the recent NFL Draft, it didn’t take long for Brian Hartline to further be cemented as the nation’s best receiver coach. His recruiting is off the charts and the development he’s provided has followed suit. Sure, he’s had some incredible players to work with, but nobody can deny what Coach Hart is doing in Columbus for his group of players year in and year out. As long as he’s at Ohio State, the receivers are going to be at or near the top of the college landscape.
In the 2023 class, the Buckeyes currently have one receiver committed in Bryson Rodgers. The first of what could be three to even four receivers in this class, Hartline is very keyed in on a few names right now and looking to be in great position for each of them. Guys such as Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss, and Noah Rogers are among the top players in the country at their position, and while none of the three have given the verbal yet, it’s not out of context to believe Ohio State and can land all three of those guys, which would be yet another epic haul.
On Thursday, the Buckeyes did make the cut for another top-10 receiver when the nation’s seventh best player at the position, Jalen Hale, trimmed his list to a top six schools that still remain for his services. The 40th best player nationally has nearly 40 offers so getting down to single digits couldn’t have been easy, but fortunately for the Buckeyes, they join the likes of USC, Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, and Texas to still be in the running.
The Texas native does have one Crystal Ball prediction submitted, but that pick is for Oklahoma, and with them not making his top six it’s a little bit more clear that this recruitment is still there for the taking. As mentioned, Ohio State has some other names they have been more closely linked to, but this talent would be too good to pass up if Hale was that serious about what’s going on in Columbus.

Quick Hits
- 2024 Virginia native tight end prospect Luca Puccinelli has plans to get to Columbus and camp at Ohio State on June 6. A 6-foot-7, 225 pound tight-end, Puccinelli is currently the 12th best player at his position per the 247Sports Composite rankings and a three-star prospect. Offers from Virginia Tech and Duke have come so far, but him hitting the camp circuit shows he’s looking to get a little more exposure to his name.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — An initiative by a Massachusetts district attorney to clear a backlog of more than 1,100 untested rape kits from his jurisdiction has resulted in an indictment in a 2010 sexual assault, authorities said Friday.
It is the first time someone has been indicted since Bristol District Attorney Thomas Quinn launched the Untested Rape Kit Initiative with a federal grant nearly three years ago.
A 47-year-old suspect is facing charges of aggravated rape and assault and battery in connection with the 2010 attack on a 23-year-old woman in New Bedford, according to a statement from Quinn's office.
The victim submitted to a sex assault evidence collection kit at the time, but it was never fully tested. It was finally tested in February and resulted in the discovery of DNA that matched the suspect, authorities said.
The district attorney's office is now in the process of getting more than 1,100 kits tested by a private lab using the federal grant.
“This case demonstrates the importance of fully testing all sexual assault kits. If we did not obtain the grant to have all these kits fully tested, this case never would have been solved and the statute of limitations would have expired,” Quinn said in a statement. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Suspect-indicted-in-connection-with-2010-rape-in-17154417.php | 2022-05-06T17:53:43Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Suspect-indicted-in-connection-with-2010-rape-in-17154417.php | false | 12 |

Anna Shevchenko waters the few surviving flowers outside her destroyed home in the Ukrainian town of Irpin on the outskirts of Kyiv. The house, built by the 35-year-old woman’s grandparents, was leveled during Russian bombing in late March.
But in her beloved flowerbed this week, some roses, lilies, peonies and daffodils survived, giving her hope. “It is new life. So I tried to save my flowers,” she said.
The house was left a pile of splintered wood, a closet filled with the family's dust- and debris-covered clothing visible amid the destruction. In one day, the family lost their house and Shevchenko’s father lost his leg to an explosion as he tried to flee Irpin.
Shevchenko’s flowers were among signs of Ukrainian resilience and resistance during a week of devastating death and loss in the war. In Irpin alone, block upon block of homes were destroyed.
In Zaporizhzhia, Vera Velakanova and Lyudmila Vondarenko were among the many residents who gathered in cemeteries on Sunday, the day Ukrainians mark the day of the dead. The women ate lunch at a table amid the tombstones in the Kapustyanyy cemetery.
Sunday was also the day that some 100 women, children and the elderly were the first to be evacuated from a steel plant in the strategic port of Mariupol where they had been under Russian bombardment for weeks along with about 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers in the tunnels beneath the Azovstal steelworks. They arrived in Zaporizhzhia a day later.
The week was also marked by horrific images that offered a rare glimpse of the death and atrocities of the war. In Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, which has been under sustained Russian attack since the beginning of the war in late February, bodies were everywhere.
Among them was the charred corpse of a man, unidentifiable, propped on an anti-tank barrier made of crossed I-beams outside the town, which has been under the control of both sides in recent days.
Elsewhere, the body of another man lay face down in an apartment as Russian bombardments continued in a village recently retaken by Ukrainian forces near Kharkiv.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The previous 330 times the New York Mets trailed by six runs in the ninth inning, they had lost.
“I’m sure everyone counted us out,” Brandon Nimmo said. “These guys, they don’t give up. With that mentality, anything is possible.”
The Mets staged a most remarkable comeback Thursday night, erasing a six-run deficit in the ninth inning to beat the flabbergasted Philadelphia Phillies 8-7.
Nimmo delivered a tying, two-run single, then scored on Starling Marte’s tiebreaking double to end a string of 857 consecutive losses by MLB clubs when trailing by six runs or more in the ninth, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
“I’m an optimist, I just keep going until they blow the whistle,” Nimmo said. “You just never give up. The stats can say all they want. They can say it can’t be done. But that’s why you play the game.”
With the Mets trailing 7-1, Marte led off the inning with an infield single against James Norwood and scored on Francisco Lindor’s two-run homer. Mark Canha added an RBI infield single that clanked off pitcher Corey Knebel (0-2), and J.D. Davis had a pinch-hit RBI double before Nimmo and Marte finished off the high point of the NL East-leading Mets’ season so far.
“Just strung a lot of good at-bats together by good hitters,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said.
It’s the first time New York trailed by at least six runs in the ninth and won since Sept. 13, 1997, when Carl Everett hit a tying grand slam with two outs in the ninth and the Mets went on to beat the Montreal Expos in extra innings. It was just the third time in Mets history they have come back from at least six runs down in the ninth to win, according to Elias.
Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos homered for the Phillies, and Aaron Nola pitched seven sharp innings. The Phillies have lost five of six.
“That’s about as hard as I’ve been through,” Phillies manager Joe Girardi said. “This is as tough as it gets.”
Marte also had a solo homer in the sixth.
The Mets avoided consecutive losses for the second time this season in amazing fashion, continuing the optimism in New York after a fast start.
“Nights like tonight make you realize what it can be,” Showalter said.
It looked like Nola was going to earn his second victory when the Mets came to bat in the ninth having scored just one run on three hits.
Edwin Diaz pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save in seven chances. Adonis Medina (1-0) allowed one hit in 2 2/3 scoreless innings.
PHILLY’S FAST START
Philadelphia jumped on Taijuan Walker for four runs in the first inning.
Harper had an RBI double, J.T. Realmuto and Jean Segura added RBI singles and Castellanos had a run-scoring groundout. The Phillies were helped by a costly error by shortstop Lindor on Alec Bohm’s grounder early in the inning.
Philadelphia went in front 7-0 in the fourth on back-to-back homers by Harper and Castellanos.
WALKER’S NIGHT
Walker, making just his third start due to a stint on the injured list with a shoulder injury, lasted just four innings and surrendered six earned runs on nine hits with two strikeouts and two walks. All three of his outings have been against Philadelphia.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: Castellanos left the game in the sixth inning after getting hit by an 86-mph changeup from Medina. Castellanos has a right wrist contusion. X-rays were negative and he is day-to-day, the Phillies said.
UP NEXT
Mets RHP Max Scherzer (4-0, 2.61) is scheduled to face Phillies RHP Kyle Gibson (2-1, 2.93) in the second game of the four-game set on Friday night.

Fortnite players have expressed their concern regarding the state of the Item Shop. In the past few months, not a lot of great cosmetics have been up for grabs, and the developers have been reluctant to bring back the items that the community wants.
It is evident that Epic Games is focusing more on crossovers. As a result, there's a significant decline in authentic skins based on the storyline of the title.
This article will explain if the Item Shop is in its worst state ever.
Fortnite and Epic Games' obsession with crossover skins
At the time of writing, here are the skins available in Item Shop on May 6, 2022:
- Scarlet Witch
- Master Chief
- Delta-One from Gears of War
- Star Wars
- Book of Boba Fett cosmetics
- Street Fighter cosmetics
- El Chapulin
Apart from these crossovers, some authentic outfits like Scimitar and Dark Bomber are available in the Featured section. Also, the Omega Knight Level Up Quest pack has been released for 1200 V-Bucks.
Clearly, the Item Shop is dominated by crossover skins. And it is no surprise that a limited number of players buy such skins, while the majority feel left out.
It is worth noting that the aforementioned state of the Item Shop is nothing new. If not for Star Wars, it would be full of cosmetics from other franchises like Marvel and DC.
Here's how famous YouTuber AussieAntics reacted to an Item Shop that contained ten layers of Marvel skins.
Crossover skins are undoubtedly great for promotion. From Naruto to Master Chief, a ton of characters from different universes are now a part of Fortnite. Having said that, the developers' current approach might lead to many players feeling overwhelmed and betrayed.
Similarly, there was a time when Fortnite used to release silly and comforting emotes. This has now been replaced by dance emotes that are primarily based on viral songs from Tik-Tok and other social media platforms.
What do Fortnite players expect from the Item Shop?
Naturally, the prominence of crossovers affects Epic Games' willingness and ability to bring back OG skins. A ton of cosmetics from Chapter 2 haven't returned for a long time, and this leads to Uncommon and Rare outfits becoming valuable for no logical reason.
A perfect example of the same is Special Forces, a skin that hasn't returned in over 1000 days.
The community's expectations from Fortnite are simple. Loopers do not have a problem with crossovers unless and until they hinder the availability of authentic skins. If not 50 percent, original skins should at least make up for 30 percent of the Item Shop cosmetics daily.
All in all, a plethora of Star Wars cosmetics have arrived in Epic Games' battle royale game on the occasion of Star Wars day. Fans of the franchise are delighted to see them in the game for obvious reasons, while others patiently wait for the original skins or skins from the franchises they like. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/fortnite/is-fortnite-item-shop-curation-getting-worse-day | 2022-05-06T17:57:12Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/fortnite/is-fortnite-item-shop-curation-getting-worse-day | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday named Karine Jean-Pierre to be the next White House press secretary, the first Black woman and openly LGBTQ person to serve in the role. Incumbent Jen Psaki is set to leave the post next week.
Jean-Pierre takes on the role as the White House faces an uphill battle to help Democrats hold onto the House and Senate in this fall’s midterm elections, and as the administration struggles to address Americans’ concerns about soaring inflation and the state of the economy. She also comes into the job as Biden faces a daunting array of foreign policy challenges, including the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and North Korea’s escalating nuclear testing program. Biden is set to visit South Korea and Japan later this month and Europe in June.
Biden is also bringing back longtime Democratic strategist Anita Dunn as his senior adviser. She had served in the Biden White House last year for several months after Biden was sworn into office.
“Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a statement praising Jean-Pierre, who has served as his principal deputy press secretary since Inauguration Day.
Psaki, who leaves the White House on May 13, praised her successor as a “partner in truth,” noting the significance of the history-making appointment.
“Representation matters and she is going to give a voice to so many and show so many what is truly possible when you work hard and dream big,” Psaki said.
Taking the lectern briefly while Psaki briefed the press Thursday, Jean-Pierre said she was “still processing” the significance of her hire, calling it “an honor and privilege to be behind this podium.”
“This is a historic moment, and it’s not lost on me,” she said. “It’s a very emotional day.”
Psaki said Biden offered the job to Jean-Pierre Thursday in the Oval Office. White House staffers were gathered after the offer and greeted Jean-Pierre with applause, an official said. Two “warm bottles” of champagne were procured for a toast in White House paper cups, the official added, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal gathering.
Jean-Pierre had occasionally taken the lectern in the press briefing room instead of Psaki and more frequently held off-camera “gaggles” with reporters when Biden was traveling on Air Force One. She traveled with Biden to Europe last fall and in March instead of Psaki, who had tested positive for COVID-19 before both trips.
Before joining the Biden presidential campaign, Jean-Pierre was the chief public affairs officer of the progressive group MoveOn.org and a former political analyst for NBC and MSNBC. She also worked in political affairs in the Obama White House and on his reelection campaign.
The press secretary is responsible for holding daily briefings with the news media and leading a department of more than a dozen staffers who help address queries from the press.
When she took the job, Psaki, who has two young children, said publicly she aimed to remain in the job for about a year. She is expected to join MSNBC later this year. She was expected to remain as the public face of the administration until her departure next Friday.
Biden said Psaki “has set the standard for returning decency, respect and decorum to the White House briefing room.”
“I want to say thank you to Jen for raising the bar, communicating directly and truthfully to the American people, and keeping her sense of humor while doing so,” Biden said. “I thank Jen for her service to the country, and wish her the very best as she moves forward.”

A series of wild boar attacks in northern neighborhoods of Rome, Italy’s capital, has prompted residents to establish an informal curfew in the region. The problem is not recent, but it has intensified in recent weeks.
According to the British newspaper Guardian, in the most recent attack, a wild boar pushed a woman and went over her head on Sunday (1). The terrifying encounter was the final straw for locals trying to protect themselves from the wild animals that have roamed Rome for years.
“In the chats [nas redes sociais] among people in the neighbourhood, and especially in dog tutor chats, the advice given is not to go out after 8:30 pm”, said Gianluca Sabino, a resident of the region, to the newspaper La Repubblica.
Many of them also fear that an unsuspecting child will fall victim to a wild boar. A bite or a step from these animals can be fatal for them.
The government is also trying to help solve the problem, and has announced that it will put up fences in regions with a greater presence of wild pigs, in addition to ordering more frequent garbage collection, as the food attracts the animals.
Animal protection organizations point out that such attacks only occur when wild boars feel that their young or food sources are threatened.
The advice given to residents is not to approach pigs eating or with young ones nearby.
In 2019, several cities in Europe faced similar problems, when wild boars invaded regions and attacked residents.

The annual salmon Invisible Migration Event is cancelled for 2022 due to staff shortages and deaths in the community, announced Lake Babine Nation Fisheries and the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition on May 5.
The invisible migration is the journey of 300 million juvenile salmon as they travel to the Skeena River estuary, the event website states. These young salmon will eventually continue on to the Pacific ocean where they will grow before returning to the Skeena in two to five years. It is called the “invisible” migration because the rivers are in flood during this time so the brown waters hide the fish from view.
This would have been the seventh year of the Invisible Migration event at the Babine River.
“All the communities around will definitely miss it. It was a great networking event that was just no politics and all about celebrating the smolts and wishing them a safe journey,” said Donna MacIntyre, fisheries director at Lake Babine Nation Fisheries.
More than 600 people attended the last in-person event in 2019. The day’s activities included education sessions about the salmon and conservation programs, as well as drumming, and singing, with bannock and grilled salmon to eat. The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic and there was a virtual event in 2021.
“Celebrating the out-migration is sort of like blessing the fish and hoping that as many as possible will come back,” said Shannon McPhail, co-executive director of the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition. “The Babine is where 90 per cent of the sockeye salmon come from for the whole Skeena watershed.”
The salmon populations are a keystone species, explained McPhail.
“How salmon populations are doing is directly responsible for things like how much does the forest grow. You can look at growth rings on a tree and know how many fish were in the river that year,” said McPhail.
“It’s time to really take the cautionary principle and implement some conservation and restoration measures but instead what we’re actually seeing is more permitting for industrialization in wild salmon habitat.”
The virtual resources from the 2021 Invisible Migration event are still available online. The event is expected to return in 2023. | https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/05/06/annual-salmon-invisible-migration-event-cancelled.html | 2022-05-06T18:02:04Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/05/06/annual-salmon-invisible-migration-event-cancelled.html | true | 1 |
G7 leaders, Ukraine's Zelenskiy to hold talks on Sunday
Article content
WASHINGTON — Group of Seven (G7) leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden will hold a video call on Sunday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a show of unity the day before Russia marks its Victory Day holiday, the White House said.
Talks will focus on the latest developments in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, efforts to bolster the country and ways to demonstrate “continued G7 unity in our collective response, including by imposing severe costs for Putin’s war,” a spokesperson for the White House’s National Security Council said on Monday.

The leaders of the G7 countries, which include the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Canada and Italy, will hold their virtual meeting with Zelenskiy on Sunday in the U.S. morning, the spokesperson added.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as Biden flew to Ohio for the day, Psaki said the timing of the session was significant because it will take place a day before Putin participates in Victory Day. The holiday on Monday marks the end of World War Two and includes military parades across Russia.
“While he expected to be marching through the streets of Kyiv, that certainly is not going to happen,” she said.
Psaki also said U.S. officials are discussing imposing more sanctions on Russian oligarchs and companies as well as taking steps to avoid Russians previously sanctioned from evading them.

The United States and its allies have previously united on a host of sweeping sanctions targeting Russian banks, officials and other entities aimed at punishing Moscow for its actions, including alleged war crimes. Russia characterizes its invasion as a special operation to demilitarizes and “denazify” Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Biden said he planned to discuss potential additional measures against Moscow for its continuing and intensifying war in neighboring Ukraine, adding that the United States was always open to more sanctions.
“I’ll be speaking with the members of the G7 this week about what we’re going to do or not do,” he told reporters this week, after the European Union proposed its toughest sanctions yet against Russia, including a phased oil embargo.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who will participate in the call, is also scheduled to give a televised address to the German people on Sunday.
Victory Day takes on special meaning this year given that Ukraine and Russia — both victims of Nazi Germany — are now at war, a German government spokesperson said.

[Episcopal News Service] Episcopal Church leaders, facing increasing concerns about the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks at the 80th General Convention, will convene a special meeting of Executive Council on May 11 to discuss safety precautions for this summer’s churchwide gathering.
Executive Council will meet at 9 a.m. Eastern May 11 on Zoom, according to information shared online May 5 by the House of Deputies. The special meeting was called, under a rarely used provision in the church’s Canons, by six members of Executive Council, including the chairs of the governing body’s four standing committees.
The purpose will be to discuss “public health and pastoral protocols and procedures that should be in place for General Convention attendees and the relative merits of meeting in Baltimore,” according to the House of Deputies’ post.
The 80th General Convention initially had been scheduled for 2021 but was postponed for a year because of the pandemic. It now is set to take place July 7-14 in Baltimore, Maryland. Masks and proof of vaccination will be required of all attendees, and church leaders continue to consider additional precautions as necessary.
Some of those who are scheduled to attend General Convention, however, have expressed apprehension in recent weeks over the plan to meet in person at such a large churchwide gathering, which also serves as the meeting of the church’s primary governing body.
This week, in a blog post shared widely on Twitter, the Rev. Megan Castellan, a priest in Ithaca, New York, argued that holding an in-person General Convention would be “a huge mistake.”
“It is not like our church is unaware of the pandemic; I believe the leadership is trying to address it while also trying to convene Convention. The problems, though, are legion, and do not disappear because of those good intentions,” wrote Castellan, who serves as a deputy for the Diocese of Central New York. “We need to cancel Convention. Until we can do it safely. Until we can do it without being hypocrites. Until we can do it within the Gospel.”

The Rev. Scott Gunn, a deputy for the Diocese of Southern Ohio and executive director of Forward Movement, shared Castellan’s blog post and echoed her concerns.
“If you are a deputy or bishop in the Episcopal Church, read this and ponder,” Gunn said on Twitter. “Does it really make sense to have #gc80 in person? Should we do it online this time?”

The Rev. Nurya Love Parish, a priest and deputy in the Diocese of Western Michigan, also shared Castellan’s blog post on Twitter. “This is a compelling argument that the #Episcopal Church should not gather this summer for General Convention, and is worth attention,” Parish said.

Several members of Executive Council raised their own concerns during their April 20-23 meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, about the propriety of holding General Convention in person at a time when the coronavirus, though greatly diminished from its winter peak, is still circulating widely. In the past month, new subvariants have begun pushing case counts in higher in the United States, though hospitalizations and fatalities have remained relatively low. Some council members also noted the dangers of long COVID and the increased risk to older people and those with underlying health conditions.
The Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, president of the House of Deputies, responded at that time by saying the General Convention Office continued to prepare for a range of public health scenarios while planning for the in-person gathering in Baltimore. The Joint Standing Committee on Planning and Arrangement, meanwhile, is expected soon to release a set of guiding principles it will follow in responding to the evolving coronavirus threat. The church’s presiding officer also have met with public health experts on additional risk mitigation steps, and Executive Council approved $50,000 for a public health expert to advise Jennings on policies and procedures.
The potential risks of a large in-person gathering were underscored when at least eight people, including Jennings, tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the Executive Council. About 60 council members, staff and visitors had attended the meeting in San Juan, while some of the council’s 40 voting members attended online.
Separately, news that at least 41 people in the Diocese of Pennsylvania tested positive for the virus after attending a clergy conference last week has fueled additional anxiety among church leaders over COVID-19 risks. The Pennsylvania clergy reported mild symptoms, and none were hospitalized, according to a letter to the diocese from Bishop Daniel Gutiérrez.
As a bicameral governing body, General Convention splits its authority between the House of Bishops and House of Deputies. General Convention typically meets in a different city every three years and is a hub for legislative activity, networking and fellowship. Hundreds of bishops and deputies attend, as well as thousands of church staff members, representatives of church-affiliated organizations, vendors and observers.
The one-year postponement has allowed committees to hold some meetings and hearings online for the first time; the hearings are now ongoing. Holding hearings online also has helped the church achieve its goal of reducing the triennial gathering’s duration from 10 to eight days.

New Executive Regulation of Industrial Property Law complements UAE’s Legislative Patent System
Terming the issuance of the new Executive Regulation as a vital development, H.E Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of State for Entrepreneurship and SMEs said that the UAE has achieved remarkable results in proliferating the role of innovation and promoting intellectual property while encouraging innovators and inventors following the issuance of Federal Law No (11) of 2021 on the Regulation and Protection of Industrial Property Rights in line with the Cabinet Resolution No (6) of 2022.
H.E said that the new Executive Regulation complements the legislative system of Industrial Property Rights and patents in the country using developing transparent measures of patent applications, speeding up the granting of these patents, and increasing their numbers in the upcoming stage.
Al Falasi added: “The regulation assists in providing a comprehensive legislative environment that encourages innovation and patent applications in the UAE. It will further project UAE as a top destination for innovators in various fields – including technology, new economy, research, and development. Moreover, it will promote its position as a competitive and attractive environment for fundamental investments, hence boosting the pillars of the new economic module based on knowledge and innovation. It will also promote the UAE’s leadership in global competitive indexes, such as the Global Innovation Index (GII), the Global Entrepreneurship Index, and Global Competitiveness Index.”
The Regulation further lays the legal foundation for companies and individuals to bring forward their latest ideas and innovations. Through this regulation, various procedures, conditions, requirements, and disciplines regarding industrial property applications have been clarified. It further illustrates various roles and stages through which the application goes, starting from the stage of application to the registering of the industrial property right, along with its consequent rights, privileges, and objections. This comes in line with the best international practices in the field, especially those relating to patents, industrial projects, Utility Certificates, integrated circuits, and the protection of undisclosed information.
The Executive Regulation additionally considers key provisions stipulated in international agreements relating to industrial property rights, guaranteeing the speed, flexibility, and effectiveness of the inspection and registration of industrial property applications, and providing protection for owners of inventions. It further offers extra flexibility and concessions for patents and industrial property for entrepreneurship, SMEs, startups, academic institutions, as well as facilities and companies – including departments for research, development, and innovation, and international companies. All of which are set to effectively benefit from the industrial property services offered by the Ministry of Economy by registering patents for its activities.
The regulations also include knowledge-sharing procedures for new inventions to make use of research and development in the private sector, academic institutions, and SMEs and startups in the country. The regulations also specify the time during which patients’ examination results would be announced, achieving the ministry’s goal to use these regulations to reduce the periods from 42 months to six months.
The regulations also define mechanisms for substantive and formal examinations and the documents related to industrial property rights applications, as well as the controls for formulating protection claims under international requirements. They also define the technical and legal bases in calculating the principle of priority submission for the same invention, requirements, and data of the industrial property rights registry, as well as specify the requirements and procedures related to correcting and amending industrial property rights applications. In addition, the regulations clarify various aspects related to the international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, overseen by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the mechanisms of calculating annual fees for industrial property rights, the scope of protection and assignment of these rights, and other related aspects.
The executive regulations detail the new procedures and rights introduced by the new Industrial Property Law in various categories of industrial property rights that were not embedded in previous legislation. These include the protection of integrated circuit layout designs, which play an important role in stimulating and protecting electronic innovations and inventions, that in turn supports the path of advanced technology in the country. This is in addition to protecting undisclosed information, which encourages research and development in the industrial and commercial fields.
The executive regulations also include various provisions related to urgent requests, turning patent applications into benefit certificate applications and vice versa. They provide the possibility to divide the applications for patents, benefit certifications, and industrial designs into multiple applications, which facilitates securing various stages of their progress and helps to organize the mechanisms of reclaiming applications and the complaints mechanisms related to application results.
The patents and benefit certificate applications submitted to the ministry between the years 2020 and 2021 achieved a growth rate of 26.7 percent. On the other hand, the applications’ growth rate in the first quarter of 2022 was 17.8 percent compared to the same period in 2021. The main fields and activities included in those applications were transportation, construction and mining, electricity, textiles, and paper, among other vital fields. | https://www.dubaichronicle.com/2022/05/02/new-executive-regulation-of-industrial-property-law/ | 2022-05-06T18:11:34Z | https://www.dubaichronicle.com/2022/05/02/new-executive-regulation-of-industrial-property-law/ | false | 1 |

Gloria Steinem is in her late 80s now.
She has spent a lifetime fighting for women's rights — including their right to control their own reproductive choices.
She had some thoughts when she read the leaked draft opinion, suggesting the Supreme Court may be about to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"It felt both new and angering and ancient," she says.
Gloria Steinem spoke with All Things Considered host Mary Louise Kelly, and here are highlights from their conversation.
The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Interview highlights
On her reaction to the leaked document that suggests the Supreme Court may be about to overturn Roe v. Wade
There have always been efforts to control women's birth-giving. I remember sitting in the Kalahari Desert, talking to women who were showing me the plants that they used for abortifacients and to increase fertility. This is not a new issue. And the very definition of patriarchy is trying to control women and birth-giving.
On how we got here and whether this was the direction she anticipated
I think it's important to connect the ancient to the new, because otherwise we don't understand the strong thread of patriarchy and racism that has been with us and continues to be to be with us.
This affects some states and not others, so it does not affect the whole country. It's completely wrong. As the great Florynce Kennedy used to say: "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." But we have to contend with it, and we will.
On equality and the impact of potentially striking down Roe v. Wade
It's a huge impact, potentially, on women because we have to be able to make decisions about our own physical selves. It's a very differential impact on women, depending on what part of the country they're in, what their economic situation is, [and] their race, ethnicity. It affects all women, but not all women equally. But I do note in all the surveys that all women are devoted to making sure we maintain reproductive freedom.
On Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion stating the Constitution makes no mention of abortion
His comment that this is not mentioned in the Constitution is ridiculous since women weren't mentioned in the Constitution. It's quite possible that reproductive freedom would have been up there with freedom of speech if everyone had an equal say. But medical needs should not be distributed geographically. They are way too distributed by class and economics as it is, because we don't have national healthcare as we should. And this makes it far worse for the female half of the population.
On whether her life's work is being stripped down
No, I don't feel my work or the work of all the women and men who care about racial and sex equality has been struck down. It's just that it has a roadblock that is, theoretically, coming from the highest court in the land, but actually will impose hardships unequally. But it will not change the basic fact that we either have decision-making power over our own bodies — women and men — or there is no democracy.
On whether other laws are threatened by a rollback of Roe v. Wade
The first thing it makes me think about is the racial balance in this country. Because it's also true that the first generation of babies, that is, majority babies of color has already been born. And clearly, we are going to become a majority people of color nation, which will make us more like the rest of the world. And I wonder how much of a part, consciously or unconsciously, racism plays in trying now to suddenly control reproduction. Only they can speak to this, I can't pass judgment on them. But it does seem mysterious that at this juncture when the nation is changing to majority people of color, this suddenly would be coming back.
On the next move for supporters of abortion rights
It's not that we should all make the same move, because some of us might go and support our local Planned Parenthood clinic or any place that supports abortions. However, each of us as an individual, we can wear buttons, we can carry banners. We each probably have a very fervent way of doing it. And I think, you know, it's very important that we state our opinion.
On whether she thought this fight would be ongoing in 2022
Yes, because of the fact that a) — we still live in some degree of patriarchy; and b) — that women have the unique power of giving birth means that there is likely to be this and other patriarchal efforts to control the bodies of women.
It is much different from my earlier days, when abortion was way more likely to be illegal and way more difficult to find. We have made a lot of progress. And we have made a lot of progress in contraception and the morning after pill and many ways of making sure that we don't need to have abortions. It's not a pleasurable experience. It's not an experience that any woman would choose unless she had to.
On her determination and belief in activists shaping discourse and changing laws
One thing I've learned over time, over and over again, is that politics and deep change and everything we're trying to do is like a tree. And too often we think the tree grows from the top, from Congress. Trees grow from the bottom. So what you and I do every day, what's possible in our community.
I mean, today, we could thank the physicians who are supporting and providing reproductive freedom. We can give money to the elected figures who are supporting this vast majority view. And we can just refuse to be intimidated by the protestations of a losing minority.

The fashion retailer Express, a mall-culture staple, is on a mission to transform itself for the digital era. It manages a flock of social-selling influencers and is using data to personalize the experience of browsing its hot-pink crop tops and sequined statement blazers. The finishing touch on this brand makeover? A partnership with the buy now, pay later (BNPL) company Klarna to cobrand digital ads and offer Klarna’s “Pay in 4” product—which splits shopping-spree expenditures into four interest-free biweekly payments at checkout. “We want to give customers with a certain perception of us an opportunity to change that perception,” says Brian Seewald, SVP of e-commerce at Express. “We’re taking the risk out of a purchase with BNPL,” he says, adding that Express customers who opt to use Klarna have a higher average-order value. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2589410917065/5-free-must-have-apps-for-your-return-to-the-office | 2022-05-06T18:24:27Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2589410917065/5-free-must-have-apps-for-your-return-to-the-office | false | 10 |
Man who stormed Capitol in caveman costume gets prison
(AP) – A New York City judge’s son who stormed the U.S. Capitol wearing a furry “caveman” costume was sentenced on Friday to eight months in prison.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg told Aaron Mostofsky that he was “literally on the front lines” of the mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
“What you and others did on that day imposed an indelible stain on how our nation is perceived, both at home and abroad, and that can’t be undone,” the judge told Mostofsky, 35.
Boasberg also sentenced Mostofsky to one year of supervised release and ordered him to perform 200 hours of community service and pay $2,000 in restitution.
Mostofsky had asked the judge for mercy, saying he was ashamed of his “contribution to the chaos of that day.”
“I feel sorry for the officers that had to deal with that chaos,” said Mostofsky, who must report to prison on or after June 5.
Federal sentencing guidelines in his case recommended a prison sentence ranging from 10 months to 16 months. Prosecutors recommended a sentence of 15 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
Mostofsky was one of the first rioters to enter the restricted area around the Capitol and among the first to breach the building itself, through the Senate Wing doors, according to prosecutors. He pushed against a police barrier that officers were trying to move and stole a Capitol Police bulletproof vest and riot shield, prosecutors said.
“Mostofsky cheered on other rioters as they clashed with police outside the Capitol building, even celebrating with a fist-bump to one of his fellow rioters,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
Inside the building, Mostofsky followed rioters who chased Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman up a staircase toward the Senate chambers. He took the police vest and shield with him when he left the Capitol, about 20 minutes after entering.
Mostofsky was carrying a walking stick and dressed in a furry costume. He told a friend that the costume expressed his belief that “even a caveman” would know that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Mostofsky frequently wears costumes at events, according to his lawyers.
“To put the matter with understatement, the New Yorker is quirky even by the standards of his home city,” they wrote.
A New York Post reporter interviewed him inside the Capitol during the riot. He told the reporter that he stormed the Capitol because “the election was stolen.”
Mostofsky has worked as an assistant architect in New York. His father, Steven Mostofsky, is a state court judge in Brooklyn.
“The fact that his father is a judge means that he should have been better able than other defendants to understand why the claims of election fraud were false,” said Justice Department prosecutor Michael Romano.
Boasberg said none of the supportive letters submitted by Mostofsky’s family and friends explain how he “went down this rabbit hole of election fantasy.”
“I hope at this point you understand that your indulgence in that fantasy has led to this tragic situation,” the judge added.
Aaron Mostofsky pleaded guilty in February to a felony charge of civil disorder and misdemeanor charges of theft of government property and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds. Mostofsky was the first Capitol rioter to be sentenced for a civil disorder conviction.
Mostofsky’s lawyers asked for a sentence of home confinement, probation and community service. Defense attorney Nicholas Smith described Mostofsky as a “spectator” who “drifted with the crowd” and didn’t go to the Capitol to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power.
“He did things he should not have done,” Smith said. “But there’s a big difference between an ideologue who is motivated to commit violence and someone who ends up doing bad things when they find themself in a crowd.”
More than 780 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot. Over 280 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors. More than 160 defendants who have been sentenced, including over 60 who have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from 14 days to five years and three months. Approximately 100 others have trial dates.

For a study, researchers sought to create and verify a prediction model for post-discharge opioid usage in cesarean delivery patients. They did a prospective cohort study of patients with cesarean delivery. Patients were enrolled after surgery and completed pain and opioid usage questionnaires 14 days later. Clinical information was extracted from the electronic health record (EHR). At discharge, participants were given 30 pills of hydrocodone 5 mg–acetaminophen 325 mg and asked about their post-discharge opioid usage. The main result was the total number of morphine milligram equivalents consumed. They built three proportional odds prediction models of postdischarge opioid use: a comprehensive model with 34 variables available before hospital discharge, an EHR model that removed questionnaire data, and a simplified model. The reduced model employed forward selection to add predictors incrementally until 90% of the full model performance was obtained. A priori, predictors were graded based on data from the literature and past research. Discrimination was used to calculate predictive accuracy (concordance index).
Between 2019 and 2020, 459 people were registered, with 279 completing the standardized study prescription. Participants used a median of eight pills (interquartile range 1–18 tablets) after discharge of the 398 with outcome assessments, 23.5% used no opioids, and 23.0% used all opioids. Each of the models predicted post-discharge opioid usage with great accuracy (concordance index range 0.74–0.76 for all models). They chose the reduced model as the final model since it had an identical model performance with the fewest number of predictors, all of which were collected from the EHR (inpatient opioid use, tobacco use, and depression or anxiety).
A model based on three variables revealed in the EHR—inpatient opioid usage, cigarette use, and depression or anxiety—exactly predicted post-discharge opioid use. It represented a chance to tailor opioid prescriptions following cesarean delivery. | https://www.physiciansweekly.com/validation-of-a-model-to-predict-post-discharge-opioid-use-after-cesarean-birth/ | 2022-05-06T18:24:44Z | https://www.physiciansweekly.com/validation-of-a-model-to-predict-post-discharge-opioid-use-after-cesarean-birth/ | false | 1 |

Climate change and the accelerated occurrence of natural disasters could arguably be one of the greatest threats facing humanity.
Just in the last few weeks, we have seen the disastrous impact that unprecedented flooding has had in our own KwaZulu-Natal. It is now essential to accurately predict climate change well in advance to help us better plan for its potentially devastating impact on population and infrastructure security.
Successful AI-based studies in the United States (US) are already predicting weather movements in California as well as floods in the US Midwest. Over 40 years, we’ve seen 5000 billion tons of ice melt in the Artic. Studies are happening right now looking at Canada, Greenland, and other Arctic areas, that are using the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to analyse the movements of the Greenhouse effect – i.e. the process that causes the planet to warm.
AI deployed and run on the correct infrastructure can predict the behaviour of extreme weather events across the globe and do so days in advance. At 100,000 times faster than traditional numerical weather models, this is a significant step towards building a digital twin Earth – a virtual model of a real-world object, machine, or system that can be used to assess how the real-world counterpart is performing, diagnose or predict faults, or simulate how future changes could alter its behaviour.
AI tools such as convolutional neural networks can analyse large-scale circulation patterns and high-precipitation events associated with extreme weather. There are also other AI models, such as NVIDIA’s FourCastNet, which emulates the dynamics of global weather patterns and predicts extremes with unprecedented speed and accuracy. A seven-day forecast is done in a fraction of a second, five orders of magnitude faster than Numerical Weather Predictions (i.e.,100 000 times faster).
When it comes to weather and climate prediction, AI tools can help with short-term predictions (± seven days) and long-term predictions. Stanford researchers developed a machine learning model that uses atmospheric patterns to predict extreme precipitation, which may lead to flooding. This tool can be used in the short term for predicting when disaster may strike and in the long term for building infrastructure that is resilient to climate change.
The SA weather service has been using global best practice meteorological tools. However, these tools run on ageing infrastructure. However, late last year, the SA Weather Service set out to procure and implement a high-performance ICT infrastructure. Yet, this ostensibly only performs the same as traditional Numerical Weather Prediction forecasting models. It is expensive, time-consuming, and limited. Where are the AI tools that we need for weather prediction in this country?
The reality is that Public Cloud and High-Performance Super Computers, specifically designed and engineered to perform AI are needed to run models on tera-bytes of data, analyse these datasets, predict patterns, and visualise the data using earth system models and geo-spatial mapping. Data Scientists, Meteorologists, IT infrastructure, and Engineering staff are now an integral component of numerical weather predictions. Based on the recent flooding, I would say we are in desperate need of this predictive power.
What we see and hear from the global climate modelling community is that the AI models, along with the science, are getting much stronger. In South Africa, I would recommend we pool our economic resources together, championed by the SA Weather Service and research institutes, to co-invest not only financial resources but time and effort to implement the correct models, geo spatial mapping, and earth modelling frameworks to proactively predict extreme precipitation events. The open-source algorithm "software" is free to implement, but putting this together with the right minds, financiers, and collaborators is the only way to yield successful results.
In KwaZulu-Natal, for instance, this cost could range between R25m-R100m or more, depending on the full scope. Yet, between the public and private sectors, and based on the rampant destruction of the recent flooding, I’m sure a plan can be made. It must.

Three people killed and three others seriously injured are the toll of an attack that took place in Elad, near Petah Tikva, in the central part of Israel.
Those responsible for the attack were two men, one of them armed with an ax and the other with a pistol and they would have acted in two different points of the city. The Jerusalem Post reports it, explaining that a car would be on the run. Checkpoints have been set up along the main streets of the city as a helicopter flies over the skies.
Emergency services are operating at the scene of the attack, while the municipality of Elad has asked the inhabitants to stay indoors.
Hamas applause to the attack launched on the anniversary of Israel’s independence. “The terrorist attack on Elad is an answer to the anger of our people for the attack of the Occupation against our sacred places“Qassem Hazem, spokesman for the Palestinian Islamist movement that controls Gaza, told Al Aqsa TV.

CHICAGO (NewsNation) — Almost one million fewer students are attending college now than there were at the start of the pandemic.
The data comes from research conducted by the National Student Clearinghouse Center, which states that over the last year, undergraduate enrollment fell by 3.6%, bringing the total undergraduate enrollment down by 6.6% from fall 2019 to fall 2021.
Obvious signs point to the pandemic, as COVID-19’s stay-at-home measures have disrupted the traditional high school to college pipeline, but the novel disease also set off a chain of economic events, including the supply chain crisis and inflation, which have exacerbated the issue, causing money constraints and increasing costs.
Data from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, filings confirm these findings. According to data from Department of Education obtained by the National College Attainment Network, FASFA applications are down 9%. Similarly, FAFSA renewals fell by 12%.
Public universities and community colleges experienced the biggest drops, despite institutions welcoming back in-person learning and making a stronger push toward shorter-term credentials and career-driven pathways.
Bill Debaun researches and writes about college access for the national college attainment network. He sees the decline as a sign of things to come.
“If we see declines in FAFSA applications or renewals, then that, you know, is kind of the canary in the coal mine … about how many students would expect to be on campus in the fall,” Debaun said on NewsNation’s “Rush Hour” on Wednesday.
Brain Taylor is a managing partner of Ivy Coach — a college counseling company. He had a different reaction to the data, praising students on Wednesday’s “Rush Hour” for finally catching on.
“I would argue what took them so long,” Taylor said. “Apologies to the University of Phoenix but is a degree from the University of Phoenix really worth the paper it’s written on?”
Another reason for the decline in college admissions is the pay raise in traditionally low-wage jobs.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that wages and salaries increased 4.2% for the 12 months ended in September 2021, with other employers either vowing or already having surpassed the $15 an hour threshold.
Debaun spoke to this point and suspects the current job market is enticing young people away from academic pathways — the exact opposite of what happened during our last recession.
“When wages are high, like they are now and when jobs are abundant, then the cost of forgoing the opportunity to be in the workforce is high for students. Right? And that is especially true for students from low income backgrounds,” Debaun said.
Taylor argues that much of the trend is a class issue.
“The fact is, a college education at most of the 900 schools across America is still a luxury good and in (a) downturn, a luxury good is the first thing to go,” he said.
According to Taylor, it’s a factor that also speaks to why some colleges are expiercing losses while others are doing well, as the number of college applications being sent out is actually increasing year-over-year — up about 10% each of the last two years and up 150% in the last two decades.
“The difference is that of the 900 universities, there are about 50 highly selective universities. Enrollment is not down at these schools. Applications are surging at these schools, they surged last year and they surged even more this year,” Taylor says.
“So enrollment is down at most schools but among the highly selective schools — the schools that are not luxury goods — enrollment is not down and interest has never been greater. It’s the tale of two colleges.”
This is a challenge for colleges that have to go through more applications and students who are spending money and stretching themselves thin for no reason.
“The post secondary educational experience can’t exist in a vacuum anymore. We really need to be connecting students to their next best step after college too,” Debaun said. | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/why-more-people-arent-attending-college/ | 2022-05-06T18:39:47Z | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/why-more-people-arent-attending-college/ | false | 32 |
WhatsApp rolls out emoji reaction to messages, 2GB file sharing
JOHANNESBURG - Instant messenger WhatsApp users can now use emojis to react to messages and also share files that are up to 2GB in size compared to the 100MB limit.
The Meta-owned app announced the changes on Thursday and said that a select few emojis would be available but that more would be rolled out at a later stage.
In 2011 we introduced Group Chats, and we haven't stopped improving since. In the coming weeks, we'll roll out the ability to share files up to 2GB and add more people to your groups so you can continue creating and nurturing meaningful, private connections. https://t.co/mcJpQVIVTU
— WhatsApp (@WhatsApp) May 5, 2022
Users can access the reactions by opening the chat they want to react to and then pressing and holding the message for the emoji to pop up. In the case of WhatsApp, hover the message for a few seconds and the emojis will pop up for selection.
The selected emojis include the high five, red heart, thumb up, laughing face, surprised face and teary face emoji.
“We’re excited to share that emoji reactions are now available on the latest version of the app. Reactions are fun, fast, and they reduce overload in groups too. We’ll continue improving them by adding an even broader range of expressions in the future,” the company said in a statement.
“In addition, you can now send files within WhatsApp up to 2GB in size at a time, protected by end-to-end encryption. This is an increase from the previous limit of 100MB and we think will be helpful for collaboration among small businesses and school groups. We recommend using WiFi for larger files and we’ll display a counter while uploading or downloading to let you know how long your transfer will take.”

Algeria’s Travel Industry Has A prominent Future, Washington Post Report Says
The American newspaper “The Washington Post” published an article on Algerian tourism, in which the writer Henry Wismayer tells the details of his trip to Algeria, the “sleeping tourism giant” as he described it.
Henry Wismayer, a freelance writer residing in London, visited several Algerian cities to recount the reasons for his travels in a lengthy article entitled “A revelatory road trip along the Algerian coast.”
What Henry said about Algeria is “huge, certainly, the 10th-biggest in the world by area. But also that it is obscure, hidden behind barriers both geographical and artificial”.
In his topic, the writer talked about every region he visited in detail to praise the history and authenticity of the Kasbah region and what it witnessed during the liberation revolution and spoke about the nobility of the city of Constantine and its suspended bridges; “About 200 miles east of Algiers, Constantine, known to its Numidian founders as Cirta, is today a sprawling conurbation of more than 400,000 people. But its centre still occupies the site first chosen for its impregnable location: a limestone promontory, which rises precipitously 500 to 1,000 feet above the Rhumel River….”, then he limped on the archaeological and historical areas such as Timgad (Batna) and Djemila (Setif).
He devoted an important space to food and population; “The homogenizing forces of Western culture remain in abeyance. The food — kebabs, fragrant bowls of couscous, and sizzling platters of chakhchoukha, a vegetable stew mixed with shreds of flatbread — was wonderful. In the restaurants, as elsewhere, spontaneous exclamations of, “Welcome to Algeria,” were common… There is zero hassle in the population at large”.
The writer considered that the Corona pandemic was a setback in a long campaign to awaken a sleeping giant intended for tourism in Algeria, to conclude that Algeria is considered one of the most culturally distinguished places.

Which countertop ice maker is best?
Few situations are as frustrating as when the ice runs out at a party or picnic. Leaving the get-together to make an ice run is equally irritating, so why not spring for a countertop ice maker?
Ensuring you’ll always have fresh ice available, a quality countertop ice maker can be a worthwhile investment if you host gatherings frequently. The best ones, like the Newair Countertop Ice Maker, are compact, easy to use and produce large quantities of ice at an efficient rate.
What to know before you buy a countertop ice maker
How it works
Unlike commercial ice makers or those built into refrigerators, a countertop ice maker doesn’t require an external water line. All you need to do is pour water into the tank, turn it on and you’ll have a fresh batch of ice cubes within minutes. Some ice makers take 10-15 minutes to produce ice, but the best ones work quickly and can pump out a bucketful in 7-10 minutes.
Portability
Most countertop ice makers are compact, lightweight and excellent for traveling. They’re convenient for parties and outdoor get-togethers where accessing a refrigerator to retrieve ice constantly is impractical. However, more expensive models with compressor freezer technology are much more robust, so they’re not nearly as easy to move around.
Power and output
Portable countertop ice makers aren’t as powerful as commercial ice makers, so although one would suffice for a small-to-medium-sized gathering, it wouldn’t produce enough ice at an efficient rate for larger parties. Generally, the more powerful the appliance, the more ice it can produce per day. Most countertop ice makers can crank out roughly 25 pounds of ice a day, but more powerful models can make double that amount.
What to look for in a quality countertop ice maker
Timers and alerts
The best ice makers have convenient timers for starting and stopping ice production. Many models also have a function that automatically turns off the machine once the ice bucket is full, which helps conserve energy and prevents jamming.
Ice shape and size
The cheapest ice makers produce standard-looking ice cubes, but more expensive models can make ice in two or three sizes. Some machines can even make ice in different shapes, the most popular being cubes, cylinders, nuggets, gourmet and crescent. However, it’s worth noting this is a feature more commonly found in commercial ice machines.
Style
Most countertop ice makers have a similarly compact and lightweight design, but you’ll notice some differences in style across models. Some have a modern design with a stainless-steel finish, while others have a sturdier build with a stripped-down aesthetic that makes them more suitable for traveling or outdoor use. Also, some models are available in several colors, some of the most popular being black, white, silver, blue and red.
How much you can expect to spend on a countertop ice maker
There are some affordable ice makers in the $100-$200 range, but for one that’s more powerful and can produce more ice, expect to pay up to $400.
Countertop ice maker FAQ
What’s better, a countertop ice maker or one built into a refrigerator?
A. A countertop ice maker is more efficient, and portability is one of its primary advantages. Ice makers built into refrigerators are sufficient for everyday use, but countertop ice makers are more convenient for gatherings.
Should I use filtered water in a countertop ice maker?
A. It’s advisable to use filtered water because countertop ice makers don’t have built-in filtration systems. Filtered ice cubes are healthier, safer and have a crystal-clear look. Ice cubes made from unfiltered tap water usually have a cloudy look on the inside from the mineral buildup.

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — When the moist concrete walls deep below ground and the mold and the cold and the weeks without fresh fruit or vegetables became too much to bear, some in the bunker underneath Elina Tsybulchenko’s office decided to visit the sky.
They made their way, through darkness lit by flashlights and lamps powered by car batteries, to a treasured spot in the bombarded Azovstal steel plant, the last Ukrainian holdout in the ruined city of Mariupol. There, they could look up and see a sliver of blue or smoky gray. It was like peering from the bottom of a well. For those who could not, or dared not, climb to the surface, it was as distant as peace.
But seeing the sky meant hope. It was enough to make Elina’s adult daughter, Tetyana, cry.
The Tsybulchenko family was among the first to emerge from the steel plant in a tense, days-long evacuationnegotiated by the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross with the governments of Russia, which now controls Mariupol, and Ukraine, which wants the city back. A brief cease-fire allowed more than 100 civilians to flee the plant.
They arrived safely in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia this week. There, they described for The Associated Press their two months at the center of hell, and their escape.
Hundreds of civilians and Ukrainian fighters remain trapped at the plant and Russian forces have pushed their way inside. The seizure of Mariupol is expected to play a central role in Moscow’s celebration on May 9 of Victory Day, historically marking the end of World War II.
In the earliest days of Russia’s invasion Tsybulchenko, 54, was shocked by the bombardment of her city. Like many residents with memories of civil defense drills, she knew the steel plant had the only real bunkers in town. When she, her husband Serhii, her daughter and her son-in-law Ihor Trotsak decided to hole up in the one under her office, she assumed they would stay a few days.
“We didn’t even take toothbrushes,” Elina said. But a few days turned into 60.
They had brought only their documents, three blankets, two dogs and fruit carried in a basket they used for Orthodox Easter. They didn’t think they would mark the holiday there weeks later.
The steel plant has a maze of more than 30 bunkers and tunnels spread out over its 11 square kilometers (4 miles), and each bunker was its own world. Evacuees had little or no communication with those elsewhere in the plant; they would eventually meet on the buses to Zaporizhzhia and compare experiences.
Their isolation complicates estimates of the number of civilians and Ukrainian fighters who remain. A few hundred civilians are still trapped, the Ukrainian side said this week, including more than 20 children. Another evacuation effort was reported underway Friday.
The number of those surviving underground threatens to drop every day. Some evacuees recalled watching in horror as the wounded succumbed to their injuries while first aid supplies, even clean water, ran short or ran out.
“People literally rot like our jackets did,” said 31-year-old Serhii Kuzmenko. The weary foreman at the plant fled along with his wife, 8-year-old daughter and four others from their bunker; 30 were left behind. “They need our help badly,” he said. “We need to get them out.”
In another bunker, the Tsybulchenko family lived among 56 people, including 14 children ages 4 to 17. They survived by dividing among themselves the bare rations that fighters brought down —tinned meat, porridge, crackers, salt, sugar, water. There was not enough to go around.
The family’s old cocker spaniel suffered, shivering and staring at them with wide eyes. The dog had to die, they decided. It was an act of mercy. They asked a soldier for sleeping pills, but he said the dog might survive and suffer more.
“Let me shoot it,” he said.
The dog was given a hurried burial above ground amid the shelling; rubble and scrap metal were placed atop it, to protect it from other, starving pets.
There was little comfort. The bunker shook from bombardment. “We went to bed like this every night and thought, ‘Will we survive?’” Elina said.
The Tsybulchenkos and others slept on benches padded with the uniforms of steel plant workers. For toilets, they used buckets. When the bombardment became too heavy to empty the buckets upstairs, they used plastic bags. To pass the time, people made up board games or played cards. One carved bits of wood into toys.
A room in the bunker became a playground for the children. People found markers and paper and held an arts and crafts contest, with the children drawing what they would like to see the most. They drew nature and the sun. As Easter approached in late April, they drew Easter eggs and bunnies.
The drawings were posted on walls that dripped with moisture. Dank-smelling mold crept from the corners and migrated to clothing and blankets. The only way to keep something dry was to wear it. Even after evacuation and after their first proper showers in months, the Tsybulchenkos worried they smelled of mold.
While they tried to collect rainwater, they often used sanitizer to clean themselves and their dishes, to the point where Elin’s hands showed an allergic reaction. In the early days, she went up to her office and brought down lotion, deodorant and a few other personal items she had left there.
Then it became too dangerous to go above. Half the building, including her office, collapsed in the bombardment.
Again and again over the two months, people in the bunker would hear word of possible evacuations from Mariupol, only to learn they had failed. When news arrived of the U.N.-negotiated evacuation, there was skepticism and fear. But the planning began with decisions on who should leave first.
Others said the Tsybulchenkos should go because Elina’s cramped legs had started to blacken and give her trouble. “But there are small children here, and they should go,” she said. The others insisted. They assumed the evacuation would continue in the days ahead and take everyone, even the fighters. Some hesitated, wanting to see whether the first evacuation was a success.
A small girl staying behind, Violeta, took a marker and drew a flower, a heart and “Good luck” on Elina’s arm. The bunker residents had shortened the girl’s name to Leta, or “sunlight.”
Everyone in the bunker agreed to meet to celebrate at a cafe in Zaporizhzhia when the evacuation was complete.
“We’re so sorry,” the Tsybulchenkos told the others as they started toward the surface.
“Don’t worry,” they replied. “We’ll follow.”

Elina didn’t recognize her workshop. The roof had been blown away. Walls were in ruins. The ground was pocked with craters and strewn with unexploded shells.
As they emerged from an opening in the rubble, the family and other evacuees blinked. After two months, the sunlight hurt their eyes.
It was quiet. The Russian bombardment, for once, had stopped.
“The weather was brilliant,” said Ivane Bochorishvili, the U.N. deputy humanitarian chief in Ukraine, who approached the plant to await the evacuees. “The one when you are waiting for the perfect storm, like the blue sky.”
A dangerous stretch lay ahead. A railway bridge near the plant was the receiving point for evacuees. The waiting buses were another kilometer away.
For the evacuation, the Russians had tried to retrieve the mines they had planted. But the machine hadn’t detected everything, Bochorishvili said.
As he and a colleague approached in their vehicle, the Russians shouted from hundreds of meters away — “Don’t move!” The U.N. workers were told to get out and go back carefully to the last checkpoint on foot. The de-mining machine was brought in again. Eight more mines were found.
Ukrainian soldiers walked ahead and behind the evacuees as they finally emerged, making sure the column of people placed their feet safely.
“Thank God we didn’t see any bodies along the way,” Elina said. The Russians had removed them.
Twenty-one people emerged the first day. The rest came out the next. As the second group met the first, “there were all these hugs and kisses. They’d been in Azovstal but hadn’t seen each other, didn’t know what happened to each other,” said Osnat Lubrani, U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine.
The buses set off through a ruined city. Makeshift graves lined the streets. People held their heads in grief and disbelief or hugged each other. “These people are going to have longtime nightmares,” said Esteban Sacco, the U.N. official responsible for the first leg of the bus journey to safety.
And yet they could still see signs of life. It was market day. There were people walking or biking, even children. Some peered through windows of bombed-out buildings.
The evacuees were still far from safe. The buses at first headed not west toward Ukrainian-held territory but east toward Russia. Even the U.N. staffers at first thought they were going there, Sacco said.
In a camp at Bezimenne, near the border, the evacuees said they faced pressure from the Russians to go to their side. The Russians even tried to board the buses, saying they wanted to offer the children candy, but they were kept out.
A Russian priest asked evacuees why they were going to Zaporizhzhia. “Ukraine will cease to exist very soon,” Elina Tsybulchenko recalled him saying.
The evacuees were questioned and searched, even stripped at times to check for military-style tattoos. Some Russians were polite, said Ihor, Elina’s son-in-law. Others were mocking or insulting, especially if he slipped and spoke Ukrainian instead of Russian. “Why are you speaking a foreign language?” they asked.
The buses turned west for the slow route toward Zaporizhzhia and safety. “We always had this fear,” Ihor said. “We knew we could’ve ended up going to Russia.”
As the convoy slowly arced around Mariupol, they could see faraway flashes as the Russian bombardment resumed. Two civilian women at the steel plant were killed and 10 civilians wounded, said Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of Ukraine’s Azov Regiment there.
Ukrainian authorities said Russian forces pushed into the plant’s perimeter with “heavy, bloody battles.”
The evacuees had entered their bunkers in winter. They emerged to a black-and-gray landscape, a grotesque spring. Only after passing through no man’s land did Elina notice green and yellow fields again.
They entered Ukrainian-held territory after a harrowing, final stretch of more than 20 checkpoints.
Ukrainian officials had urged residents of Russian-controlled communities to climb aboard the convoy along the way. But in the end, the buses were not allowed to take them. Elina and other evacuees cried as they passed people standing near the road, waiting in vain.
“We really felt shame,” Elina said. “We never stopped.”

MONROE, La. (KTVE/KARD) — Over the past month, the Monroe Police Department received information from a cooperating witness who advised that the owner of Tobacco and Liquor on the 1400 block of North 18th Street, 43-year-old Jiteshbhai Soma Rathod, was selling THC Delta 9 vape pens from inside of the store. On April 17, 2022, and May 5, 2022, an undercover officer of Monroe Police entered the store, purchasing a “Blue Dreams” flavored THC vape pen.
According to authorities, the undercover officer purchased two THC vape pens from Rathod during these purchases. The vape pens were $50 apiece.
Officers then obtained a search warrant for the store and on May 5, 2022, around 3:50 PM, authorities executed the warrant. During the search, officers located a brown bag containing a small narcotic bag, two orange pill bottles with torn labels, one bottle containing five Methadone pills and 20 Morphine pills, and two boxes containing four multi-flavored THC vape pens.
Rathod was placed under arrest and transported to the Ouachita Correctional Center. He was charged with five counts of Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/store-owner-behind-bars-after-selling-narcotics-to-undercover-officer-police-say/ | 2022-05-06T18:43:31Z | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/store-owner-behind-bars-after-selling-narcotics-to-undercover-officer-police-say/ | false | 18 |
Arsenal icon Ian Wright has praised the club for extending the contract of both Mikel Arteta and Jonas Eidevall. Arteta’s new deal for the men’s team runs until 2025, while Eidevall’s contract expires in 2024.
The Spaniard has guided his young squad to fourth in the Premier League, in pole position to claim the final Champions League place for next season. There’s still plenty of work for them to do, but it has shown an upturn in form since their back-to-back eighth-placed finishes.
On the new deal, the 40-year-old said: “We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams. In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League.

“We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
As for the women’s team, they currently sit just one point behind league leaders Chelsea, having put together an incredible run to get so close. Swedish coach Eidevall has been at the head of this, signing a new deal until 2024 at the same time as Arteta, saying: “ It allows me to continue to work for a club that I love so much and be around people that I really, really like, and to be able to achieve things together, so I’m really looking forward to that.”
And Arsenal hero Wright took to Twitter to praise the club’s decision to keep both managers on for a longer period of time. He said: “This is great, Well done @Arsenal @ArsenalWFC.”
Both sides still have a lot to play for this season, but their extensions show the faith in them, whether they reach their lofty goals or not. While the long-term future looks bright, a lot of that could depend on what happens in the short-term. | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/ian-wright-verdict-arteta-contract-23888495 | 2022-05-06T18:50:29Z | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/ian-wright-verdict-arteta-contract-23888495 | true | 1 |
Anthony Germain to host CBC Radio's On The Go
Anthony Germain, whose broadcasting career has taken him from Beijing to Bonavista, is heading back to radio.
Germain, who has been co-hosting Here & Now for the last five years, is the new host of CBC Radio's On The Go.
He will move behind the microphone of the show — which airs weekday afternoons on CBC Radio across Newfoundland and Labrador — late next week.
Germain, whose broadcasting career at CBC has included hosting the St. John's Morning Show and The House, the network's main political affairs program, said he is looking forward to the in-depth interviews that On The Go affords.
"A show like On The Go really gives you the chance to explore things in a deeper, longer format," Germain said.
"I've loved Here & Now and I like television quite a bit, but there's something special about the legacy of an afternoon show that has kind of a more laid-back vibe than the Morning Show, but still can explore things with a certain amount of depth."
Ted Blades, who had hosted On The Go for 18 years, retired last fall. Jane Adey, who has been covering hosting duties for much of the recent period, has moved back to television to host Land & Sea.
Germain said he will miss a lot from Here & Now, particularly "that energy rush from 3 p.m. until we go on the air" and how the team responds to breaking news at airtime.
That said, he noted, a radio show allows for some options not available in television.
"Here's the thing. On television, when you have a mishap, you can't play a song," he said with a laugh.
Germain said he's a fan of On The Go's style, which often includes longform interviews with newsmakers and longer takes on pressing issues.
"There's a warmth to the show," he said. "There's a nice connection with the audience, where they really feel that you're right there in the car with them, or it's the afternoon, and you're sharing a pint or cup of tea. You can talk with them for a lot longer period of time than on other shows. That's a big thing." | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/anthony-germain-on-the-go-1.6444462?cmp=rss | 2022-05-06T19:04:42Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/anthony-germain-on-the-go-1.6444462?cmp=rss | true | 1 |
Turkey’s Constitutional Court has ruled that recording conversations between inmates and their visitors during non-contact visitation, in which the parties are separated by a partition and speak on a phone, in prisons violates the constitution, Turkish Minute reported.
The court made its ruling on March 2 based on individual applications filed by a group of inmates in various prisons across Turkey at different times who claimed that their right to communication and their right to respect for private and family life had been violated.
The top court’s decision concerning non-contact visitation in prisons was published in the Official Gazette on Friday. In its ruling the court said there is no law that permits authorities to record the conversations of inmates and their visitors during non-contact visits in prisons.
The court ruled that the applicants’ right to communication and right to respect for private and family life had been violated and ordered the payment of TL 13,500 ($900) to each of them in non-pecuniary damages.
Turkey’s prisons are notorious for their human rights violations, which frequently find their way into the reports of the rights organizations. According to a report from the Association for the Freedom of Lawyers (ÖHD) earlier this year, human rights violations of detainees and inmates are continuing with increasing cases of unlawful strip-searches, abuse and torture in Turkey’s prisons.
ÖHD interviewed inmates and their families and found that inmates were increasingly subjected to physical and psychological violence.
The report said that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, inmates were frequently transferred between prisons against their will. In each transfer they were made to undergo strip-searches, and if they resisted the searches, they were beaten by guards or subjected to disciplinary punishment.
The number of inmates who have received disciplinary punishment has risen by 365 percent in the last 10 years, the report said. | https://stockholmcf.org/top-court-rules-recording-of-conversations-during-non-contact-visits-in-prisons-unlawful/ | 2022-05-06T19:09:44Z | https://stockholmcf.org/top-court-rules-recording-of-conversations-during-non-contact-visits-in-prisons-unlawful/ | false | 1 |

This is why mental health is so important.
Southern University student Arlana Miller was found dead in the Mississippi River after leaving a suicide note on her Instagram page. The HBCU cheerleader shared a lengthy message detailing her life’s troubles and the emotions that she had been dealing with. She wrote that she had been having mental battles for a while and that it wasn’t her first suicidal note.
“I have fought this urge since my early teenage years.. I gave this life all the fight I had. To everyone who has entered my life I’m so grateful and I can only imagine how this may find you. I have been surrounded by people who may have honestly thought that I was okay, but I havnt been okay for a while,” she explained.

“I struggled so much through just this year alone. From covid, to tearing my acl, to nearly failing all of my classes,” Miller wrote. “To the people in my life I pray you learn to vocalize your feelings and get help always!!! I failed at that and I’m afraid it’s to late.”
In her note, the Dallas native spoke to her mom and shared that it wasn’t her fault and the importance of being present and checking on your “strong friends.”
“MOM, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I pray you know I’m at rest now! You would’ve given anything to see me happy, you have given everything to see me happy,” Miller said. “I’m happy in the water where everything is still and peaceful. I have written so many suicide notes in my life but finally, I’ve reached my end.”
“I hope this teaches everyone to check on your “strong” friends, be present always! I’m contradicting myself but NEVER give up!!! I know that I’m letting a lot people down by what I’m about to do,” Miller wrote. “But… truth is I’ve already let down so many people throughout my life and it just feels unbearable. I’ve lost my connection to God. The devil seems to have won. & that is okay, I blame no one for this!”

Qazaq-Khaneh: a former military edifice in downtown Tehran
TEHRAN - In the vicinity of the grand bazaar in the heart of Tehran, stands the Qazaq-Khaneh (Cossack's quarters), a centuries-old edifice that still shows off a minimal architecture.
The monument was originally a military fort in the Qajar era, serving as a base hosting Qazaqs (Cossacks), a special military force created under an agreement between Iran and Russia and led by Reza Shah and Colonel Vladimir Platonovitch Liakhov.
Qazaq-Khaneh was converted into the Ministry of War during the Pahlavi epoch. Now, it serves the University of Art for educational purposes.
The three-story structure has halls on the first floor as well as corridors with different rooms on the upper floors. Besides the main building, two other structures once served as dormitories for soldiers.
Its architecture is a mixture of Iranian and European arts, reflected in various porches built with nice views. The porches were raised to serve as platforms for high-ranking figures to watch military ceremonies used to be held in the nearby areas.
In fact, The Qazaq-Khaneh building is the core of the Meydan-e Mashq, a military shooting range covering around 160,000 square meters.
However, in subsequent urban developments, this rifle range was turned into a garden and its well-known gate was built under Reza Shah’s command
The area formerly known as Mashq Square is a must-see where you can easily spend a day visiting its different museums and sites.
As mentioned by Lonely Planet, Tehran is so much more than a chaotic jumble of concrete and crazy traffic blanketed by a miasma of air pollution.
Embracing the lower slopes of the splendid, snowcapped Alborz Mountains, the city is the nation's dynamic beating heart and the place to get a handle on modern Iran and what its future will likely be.
Exploring this fascinating metropolis will transport you on a journey through more than 250 years of Iranian history – from the glittering Golestan Palace and the adjacent Grand Bazaar to the beautiful Azadi Tower and the notorious former U.S. embassy.
Then there are the city's many excellent museums and serene gardens. In such places, as well as in contemporary cafes, traditional teahouses, and on the walking trails in the mountains, you can relax and enjoy all that's good about Tehran.

Researchers at the Baker Center for Children and Families have released their findings on the stressors of the COVID-19 pandemic on kids.
According to the center, the pandemic has dramatically increased anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts in children as young as kindergarten through college age. As many as 175,000 children in the U.S. have lost a caregiver due to COVID-19.
One mother, Jessi Champion, said she was breaking as a mom as her son struggled through the pandemic.
"We had hitting, kicking, punching, biting and screaming," she said.
She turned to the Baker Center for Children and Families in Boston, where after six months of family therapy and summer camp, her son has learned to manage his emotions and his now enjoying life.
"He snuggles me all the time. He's so empathetic," Champion said.
Being willing to seek help is one of the recommendations from the startling new report from the Baker Center examining COVID-19's impact on the mental health of children.
"It's an epidemic of need that we're seeing across the state," said Dr. Bob Franks, CEO of the Baker Center.
The report says emergency departments saw a 51% increase in suicide attempts for adolescent girls and a 4% increase of adolescent boys since the pandemic began.
Despite increased access to online therapy, there are wait times up to 12 months for outpatient care for children.
"Just imagine these rates of anxiety and depression and trauma related issues our children are facing," Franks said. "Every child in every community across our state deserves access to high quality care that works. We need to invest in care." | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/findings-on-impact-of-pandemic-on-mental-health-in-children-released-in-new-study/2779012/ | 2022-05-06T19:28:03Z | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/findings-on-impact-of-pandemic-on-mental-health-in-children-released-in-new-study/2779012/ | false | 12 |

“I have fought in the Olympics, for a world title, and was ranked No. 1 in the world, but this is the most important fight of my career. La Bomba is a world champion for a reason. He is a great opponent, and this is going to be an exciting fight.” h/t Bad Left Hook
Gonzalez may pursue a rematch with Kosei Tanaka, who is the top-ranked fighter in the division, if he beats Barriga this year.

I have known Pat Malone for more than 30 years.
Our daughters were in school together, and we are neighbors out here in the Kings Valley area. He is a wonderful, caring man and an exceptional rural business owner. Now he has shown to be a successful county commissioner.
I smiled when I read the April 27 article on Pat and Helen Higgins “Candidates talk homeless, climate change”). It made me think of the Aesop’s Fable “The Tortoise and the Hare.” Slow and steady wins the race!
Reelect Pat Malone for Benton County commissioner!

Leicester fans 'proud' of players after A.S Roma match
In a city known for glorious history, Leicester were closing to making their own, but it simply wasn't to be.
To be here in the Stadio Olimpico for the match was to witness something spectacular on the atmosphere alone. Over 60,000 Romans, so starved of success themselves, hungry for a win to put them into a first European final since 1991.
It was electric. Flags were flown, songs sang- it was deafening.
3,500 Leicester fans made themselves known but nothing could compete with the sheer volume of the Romans.
Sadly though, in the battle of the Roma Wolves against the Leicester Foxes in Roma's colosseum, there was only one winner.
At the start of the match, a banner was unfurled in Italian, it read, 'Everyone in Britain dreads the name of the Romans'.
There is history of course.
The Roman invasion and conquest of Britannia had a lasting impact on the British Isles but there was to be no such reverse last night. Brendan Rodgers men battled hard, but in the end, Rome remained unconquered.
Leicester City fans react to the match.
It could have been different- perhaps it should. Leicester fans, Brendan Rodgers and his players were critical of the referee's performance. The Foxes should have had a penalty and countless other decisions went against them. Each was cheered and roared on in the hot cauldron of the Olimpico.
But yet, Leicester can be proud of their progress. Far from being a third tier competition, huge teams have been in the Europa Conference League. Beating PSV was spectacular, going toe to toe with Jose Mourinho's Roma was equally impressive.
I spoke to fans the morning after and as disappointed as they were, they know its been a fantastic journey. Let's not forget this isn't their European tournament of choice. The aim is Champions League, but the participation has been in the Europa and Conference League. This won't dampen their experience though as they came close to challenging for yet another trophy.
It's worth remembering that this is largely a young squad and Brendan Rodgers will hope to see these players grow after this experience whilst also adding that quality in the summer that he needs to keep the club competitive.
The issue is that the bar is now set high at Leicester and fans don't just hope, they expect.
There is still the rest of the Premier League season too don't forget. The Foxes in 11th can still finish in the top 7 and I'm sure that's something the boss will remind his players of.
However, it is looking unlikely that Leicester will be in Europe next season and as fans headed home to the Midlands, they will expect that next season will see a stronger challenge in the league and on the Foxes on the hunt for European glory soon after. | https://www.itv.com/news/central/2022-05-06/leicester-city-fans-proud-of-their-progress-after-as-roma-defeat-in-rome | 2022-05-06T19:40:36Z | https://www.itv.com/news/central/2022-05-06/leicester-city-fans-proud-of-their-progress-after-as-roma-defeat-in-rome | true | 1 |

ATLANTA – A judge in Georgia on Friday found that U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is qualified to run for reelection, concluding that a group of voters who had challenged her eligibility failed to prove she engaged in insurrection after taking office. But the decision will ultimately be up to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Before reaching his decision, state Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot held a daylong hearing in April that included arguments from lawyers for the voters and for Greene, as well as extensive questioning of Greene herself. He also received extensive briefing from both sides.
State law says Beaudrot must submit his findings to Raffensperger, who has to decide whether Greene should be removed from the ballot.
Raffensperger is being challenged by a Trump-backed candidate in this month's GOP primary and would likely face huge blowback from right-wing voters if he was to disagree with Beaudrot’s finding.
A Raffensperger spokesperson said in an email that the secretary of state had received Beaudrot's recommendation and “will release his final decision soon.”
The challenge to Greene’s eligibility was filed by voters who allege the GOP congresswoman played a significant role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. That puts her in violation of a seldom-invoked part of the 14th Amendment having to do with insurrection and makes her ineligible to run for reelection, they argue.
During the April 22 hearing on the challenge, Ron Fein, a lawyer for the voters who filed the challenge, noted that in a TV interview the day before the attack at the U.S. Capitol, Greene said the next day would be “our 1776 moment.” Lawyers for the voters said some supporters of then-President Donald Trump used that reference to the American Revolution as a call to violence.
“In fact, it turned out to be an 1861 moment,” Fein said, alluding to the start of the Civil War.
Greene is a conservative firebrand and Trump ally who has become one of the GOP’s biggest fundraisers in Congress by stirring controversy and pushing baseless conspiracy theories. During the recent hearing, Greene was questioned under oath. She repeated the unfounded claim that widespread fraud led to Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, said she didn’t recall various incendiary statements and social media posts attributed to her and denied ever supporting violence.
Greene acknowledged encouraging a rally to support Trump but she said she wasn’t aware of plans to storm the Capitol or to disrupt the electoral count using violence. Greene said she feared for her safety during the riot and used social media posts to encourage people to be safe and to remain calm.
The challenge to her eligibility is based on a section of the 14th Amendment that says no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.” Ratified shortly after the Civil War, it was meant in part to keep representatives who had fought for the Confederacy from returning to Congress.
Greene “urged, encouraged and helped facilitate violent resistance to our own government, our democracy and our Constitution,” Fein said, concluding: “She engaged in insurrection.”
James Bopp, a lawyer for Greene, argued that his client engaged in protected political speech and was, herself, a victim of the attack on the Capitol, not a participant.
Beaudrot wrote that there's no evidence that Greene participated in the attack on the Capitol or that she communicated with or gave directives to people who were involved.
“Whatever the exact parameters of the meaning of ‘engage’ as used in the 14th Amendment, and assuming for these purposes that the Invasion was an insurrection, Challengers have produced insufficient evidence to show that Rep. Greene ‘engaged’ in that insurrection after she took the oath of office on January 3, 2021,” he wrote.
Greene's “public statements and heated rhetoric" may have contributed to the environment that led to the attack, Beaudrot wrote, but her statements are protected by the First Amendment right to free speech and expressing such political views, “no matter how aberrant they may be” before she was sworn in as a member of Congress does not amount to insurrection.
The challenge to Greene’s eligibility to run for reelection was filed by five voters who live in her district, and the procedure for such a challenge is outlined in Georgia law. Beaudrot’s decision is not binding on Raffensperger, who must determine if Green is qualified to run for reelection.
Once Raffensperger makes his decision, either side has 10 days to appeal it in Fulton County Superior Court. Raffensperger is facing a primary challenge on the May 24 ballot after he refused to bend to pressure from Trump to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia. Raffensperger has decried the Capitol attack, writing in his book that he found it “highly objectionable” that “people are now trying to minimize what happened on January 6.”
The Georgia complaint was filed by Free Speech for People, a national election and campaign finance reform group, on behalf of the five voters. The group filed similar challenges in Arizona and North Carolina.
Greene has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of the law that the voters are using to try to keep her off the ballot. That suit is pending. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/politics/2022/05/06/judge-marjorie-taylor-greene-is-qualified-for-reelection/ | 2022-05-06T19:48:01Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/politics/2022/05/06/judge-marjorie-taylor-greene-is-qualified-for-reelection/ | true | 42 |
Avoiding social media for just one week can lead to significant improvements in improving mental wellbeing and decreasing depression and anxiety, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Bath studied the effects of a week-long social media break on adults aged from 18 to 72.
For the small-scale study, participants were asked to stop using social media for one week or continue scrolling as normal.
For some participants, this meant an additional nine hours of free time a week which would otherwise have been spent scrolling Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
The analysis, published in the Cyberpsychology, Behaviour and Social Networking journal, found that the wellbeing of those who took a one-week break from social media climbed from an average of 46 to 55.93 on The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale.
Levels of depression in this group dropped from 7.46 to 4.84, while anxiety fell from 6.92 to 5.94 on the scale.
Lead researcher from Bath’s Department for Health, Dr Jeff Lambert, said that scrolling social media is “so ubiquitous that many of us do it almost without thinking”.
“We know that social media usage is huge and that there are increasing concerns about its mental health effects, so with this study, we wanted to see whether simply asking people to take a week’s break could yield mental health benefits,” Lambert said.
“Many of our participants reported positive effects from being off social media with improved mood and less anxiety overall. This suggests that even just a small break can have an impact.”
The number of UK adults using social media has increased from 45 per cent in 2011 to 71 per cent in 2021 and has hit 97 per cent in people aged 16 to 44, the study said.
“Scrolling” through content is the most common activity that social media users perform.
The research supports previous studies in the US and the UK which have linked social media to increased levels of depression and anxiety.
Researchers said they want to build on the study to see whether taking short breaks from social media can help different populations, such as younger people or those with diagnosed mental health conditions.

Daily PH Covid-19 cases average under 200: OCTA
The daily average of Covid-19 cases nationwide remains under 200 with a positivity rate of 1.2 percent, the OCTA Research Group said Thursday.
In a televised public briefing, OCTA Research Group fellow Dr. Guido David said the nation’s daily average in the recent week is 193, slightly higher than last week’s 187.
He noted that the country’s numbers are low and “there’s no real increase in the cases”.
“Nothing concerning at this time, iyong hospital utilization natin pati sa NCR [National Capital Region], ay mababa pa rin, nasa 21 percent (our hospital utilization including the NCR, still low, at 21 percent),” he said.
Data from the Covid-19 tracker showed the active cases were below 5,000 as of May 4. The total tally reached 3,686,375 with 159 new cases added.
In the NCR, a total of 1,109 active cases were logged. Its total number of Covid-19 infections reached 1,172,673.
Among the NCR cities, David said Manila logged the most number of new cases at 10.
It is followed by Makati, Pasig and Pasay with eight new cases each.
While the country’s Covid-19 numbers remain low, David urged the public to continue observing the minimum public health protocols to prevent any possible surge if a subvariant enters the country.
“Mayroon pa ring danger na baka magkaroon ng pagtaas ng bilang ng kaso dahil nakikita natin na tumataas sa South Africa at saka sa India pati rin sa US [United States], umabot na naman sila ng (There is still a danger of an increase in cases as it happened in South Africa and India and the US, they reached) 100,000 cases per day,” he said.

Powerful blast at Havana hotel kills at least 8, injures 40
A powerful explosion apparently caused by a natural gas leak Friday killed at least eight people and injured 40 when it blew away outer walls from a five-star hotel in the heart of Cuba's capital.
No tourists were staying at the 96-room Hotel Saratoga because it was undergoing renovations, Havana Gov. Reinaldo Garcia Zapata told the Communist Party newspaper Granma.
"It has not been a bomb or an attack. It is a tragic accident," President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who visited the site, said in a tweet.
The blast sent smoke billowing into the air around the hotel with people on the street staring in awe, one saying "Oh my God," and cars honking their horns as they sped away from the scene, video showed. It happened as Cuba is struggling to revive its key tourism sector that was devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Cuba's national health minister, Jose Angel Portal, told The Associated Press that hospitals had received about 40 injured people, but estimated that the number could rise as the search continues for people who may be trapped in the rubble of the 19th century structure in the Old Havana neighborhood of the city.
Granma reported that local officials said 13 people were missing. An elementary school next to the hotel was evacuated and local news media said no children were hurt.
Police cordoned off the area as firefighters and rescue workers toiled inside the wreckage of the hotel, which is about 110 yards (100 meters) from Cuba's Capitol building. The hotel has been used frequently by visiting VIPs and political figures.
Photographer Michel Figueroa said he was walking past the hotel when "the explosion threw me to the ground, and my head still hurts.... Everything was very fast."
Worried relatives of people who had been working at the hotel showed up at a hospital in the afternoon to look for them. Among them was Beatriz Cespedes Cobas, who was tearfully searching for her sister.

"She had to work today. She is a housekeeper," she said. "I work two blocks away. I felt the noise, and at first, I didn't even associate" the explosion with the hotel.
Yazira de la Caridad said the explosion shook her home a block from the hotel: "The whole building moved. I thought it was an earthquake."
"I've still got my heart in my hand," she said.
Besides the pandemic's impact on Cuba's tourism sector, the country was already struggling with the sanctions imposed by the former U.S. President Donald Trump that have been kept in place the Biden administration. The sanctions limited visits by U.S. tourists to the islands and restricted remittances from Cubans in the U.S. to their families in Cuba.
Tourism had started to revive somewhat early this year, but the war in Ukraine crimped a boom of Russian visitors, who accounted for almost a third of the tourists arriving in Cuba last year.
The explosion happened as Cuba's government hosted the final day of a tourism convention in the iconic beach town of Varadero aimed at drawing investors.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is scheduled to arrive in Havana for a visit late Saturday and Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said the visit would still take place.
Mayiee Perez said she rushed to the hotel after receiving a call from her husband, Daniel Serra, who works at a foreign exchange shop inside the hotel.
She said he told her: "I am fine, I am fine. They got us out." But she was unable to reach him after that.

A fired Dallas police officer who was cleared of ordering two killings in 2017 is now suing the detective who secured his arrest warrant.
Former Officer Bryan Riser is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and court costs from Detective Esteban Montenegro in the civil rights lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Dallas, according to the lawsuit first reported by The Dallas Morning News.
An attorney for Montenegro did not immediately return a phone call for comment Friday.
Dallas Police Cpl. Melinda Gutierrez said the department is aware of the filing but does not comment on pending litigation.
The lawsuit alleges Montenegro, in requesting to arrest warrant, provided false information and used information from a man linked to one slaying and known to be an unreliable witness.
“The arrest was based entirely on the uncorroborated statements of (Emmanuel Kilpatrick) directly linked to … murders,” according to the lawsuit.
Kilpatrick is currently serving a life in prison sentence for an unrelated murder conviction.
“Montenegro knew the witness was entirely unreliable” and “had been informed by a fellow Dallas police officer that Kilpatrick was not only unreliable, but also had a history of attempting to con law enforcement,” the lawsuit states.
The legal action also notes that Montenegro falsely reported when seeking the arrest warrant that cell phone data had placed Riser near the scene of the unconnected killings of Liza Saenz and Albert Douglas.
The claim was “an error on my part,” Montegro testified during the court hearing which Riser was ordered released.
Riser spent about a month in jail before being released in April 2021 by a judge after prosecutors said that they did not have probable cause to move forward with the capital murder case against him.
Montenegro is under investigation for perjury during the hearing and providing false information in the probable cause affidavit, according to the lawsuit.
Montenegro has been on paid leave since December, Gutierrez, the police spokesperson said Friday, but declined to elaborate why.
Riser, who was fired after his March 2021 arrest, is appealing his dismissal, seeking back pay, benefits and reinstatement as a police officer.
Gutierrez said Riser has not been reinstated.

ROME (AP) — The Italian Coast Guard on Friday rescued more than 100 migrants and recovered two bodies after a sailboat ran aground near a jetty in southern Italy.
A pair of rescue divers had to coax one survivor, who was clinging to a metal pylon jutting up from the water, to jump into the sea so they could bring him to safety. He was taken by motorboat to Siderno, a town on the west coast of Calabria, the region that forms the “toe” of the Italian boot-shaped peninsula.
One diver shouted, “Jump, jump!” and “Bravo!” to try to boost the man’s courage. Eventually, he leaned down to grab a diver's outstretched hand.
In all, 108 migrants had been aboard the double-masted sailboat, which had beached and overturned on a sandy shore adjacent to the jetty, the coast guard said.
Sailboats and yachts usually carry far fewer migrants than traffickers' unseaworthy fishing boats, which often attempt to sail from Libya to the Italian island of Sicily. In that way, the sailboats often avoid detection by appearing to be pleasure boats as they aim for remote stretches of Italy's long Calabrian coast.
A police helicopter and an Italian coast guard helicopter searched the waters near the jetty in case there were any other survivors or victims, but the coast guard said no one appeared to be missing.
Italian state TV said most of the migrants were from Afghanistan.

Goodwill find in Texas turns out to be ancient Roman bust
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A marble bust that a Texas woman bought for about $35 from a Goodwill store is temporarily on display at a San Antonio museum after experts determined it was a centuries-old sculpture missing from Germany since World War II.
The bust, which art collector Laura Young found at Goodwill in 2018, once belonged in the collection of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, according to the San Antonio Museum of Art, which is temporarily displaying the piece until it is returned to Germany next year.
The ancient Roman bust dates to the first century B.C. or first century A.D. and historians believe it may depict a son of Pompey the Great, who was defeated in civil war by Julius Caesar, the museum said. The sculpture was last seen in Aschaffenburg, Germany, and experts believe a soldier took the sculpture and brought it to the United States, the museum said.
A Sotheby’s consultant identified the work and it was further authenticated, the museum said.
“We are very pleased that a piece of Bavarian history that we thought was lost has reappeared and will soon be able to return to its rightful location,” said Bernd Schreiber, president of the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens, and Lakes.
Young said there were a few months of “intense excitement” after learning the history behind the piece, which she found on the floor beneath a table at a Goodwill in Austin, Texas.
Young reached a deal to return the bust to Germany with the help of an attorney who specializes in international art law, Austin radio station KUT reported. Terms of that deal were confidential.
“But it was bittersweet since I knew I couldn’t keep or sell the (bust),” she said. “Either way, I’m glad I got to be a small part of (its) long and complicated history, and he looked great in the house while I had him.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Months ahead of Oregon’s Democratic primary, many believed the race was former House Speaker Tina Kotek’s to lose.
The progressive’s political resume, leadership experience and support from colleagues had the Portland lawmaker in an enviable position.
But Oregon Treasurer Tobias Read hopes to capitalize on voter unrest and a seeming tack back to moderates when Democrats choose their candidate May 17 for the state’s highest office.
Read, Kotek’s most prominent primary opponent, has gained traction over the past two months. The 46-year-old has been endorsed by two former Oregon governors, attracted some supporters of Nicholas Kristof — a former New York Times columnist who was declared ineligible to run for governor due to not meeting residency requirements — and has placed part of the blame for Oregon’s problems directly on Kotek.
Christopher Stout, an associate professor of political science at Oregon State University, says recent polling shows that the May 17 primary is close with Read within “striking distance” of Kotek and more than half of Democrats remain undecided.
Winning the Democratic primary usually means an almost certain victory in the fall, as a Republican hasn’t been governor in Oregon in 35 years. But this year former longtime Democratic state Sen. Betsy Johnson is running as an independent and expected to be a strong candidate in November. Johnson doesn’t have to compete in a primary.
Many Oregonians are critical of the handling of the pandemic, the homeless crisis, school closures, lack of affordable housing, increasing gun violence and a growing political divide.
During a recent debate both candidates were asked to use one word or phrase to describe Oregon right now. Kotek said, “It is always beautiful.” Read responded, “Strained.”
Read says in conversations with voters he can hear their “visceral sense of anger, dissatisfaction and anxiety” that stems from a “lack of follow through”, including delays in unemployment benefits, dispersing rental assistance checks and the rollout of the state’s long-anticipated paid family and medical leave program.
“You don’t get to just take credit for the good things and not take some accountability for what’s delayed,” Read said to Kotek during a recent debate. Kotek rebutted by saying state agencies are overseen by Gov. Kate Brown, who can’t run again due to term limits.
Stout says Read is trying to position himself as “an outsider,” a move that could benefit him as many residents are not happy with the status quo in Oregon. Oregonians displeasure with current politics has been evidenced in Brown’s historically low approval ratings. Opponents of Kotek have dubbed her as “Kate Brown 2.0,” linking similarities — both are liberal women who have represented Portland and identify as LGBTQ.
“To say, ‘Look we’ve kind of gone through this process before. As an outsider I can actually change things.’ That could be effective,” Stout said.
Read, who grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Boise, Idaho, got his first taste of living in Oregon when he attended Willamette University in Salem. There he joined campaigns and staff for local lawmakers.
In 1999, he moved to Washington D.C., where he worked in the U.S. Treasury Department as executive assistant to Sheryl Sandberg, who at the time was chief of staff for then-Secretary of Treasury Lawrence Summers.
Sandberg is now the chief operating officer of Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.
Read returned to the Pacific Northwest in 2001 to earn an MBA at the University of Washington. He says the degree helped him understand how to marry the interests of private enterprise and government.
Despite presenting himself as an outsider, Read has spent years immersed in Oregon politics.
The Democrat won his first legislative race in 2006 and served in the state House of Representatives for a decade, where he focused on economic matters — sitting on the House Revenue Committee, chairing the House Committee on Transportation and Economic Development, elected to Speaker Pro Tempore and a member of the primary budget writing body for the Legislature.
“He’s shown throughout his career that he can do big things. From passing full-day kindergarten to implementing the first of its kind state retirement savings program, Tobias has delivered,” said Sheryl WuDunn, the wife of ineligible gubernatorial candidate Kristof.
In 2016 Read was elected state treasurer, where he serves as the custodian of public funds, chief investment officer and oversaw growth of assets owned by Oregon’s public retirees from $73 billion in 2017 to more than $100 billion in 2022.
Read said his legislative and executive office experience sets him apart from other gubernatorial candidates. “I think that’s another really important distinction and contrast in the race,” he said.
Former colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, have described him as hardworking, mild-mannered and pragmatic.
While Kotek has received significantly more endorsements — including from a third of current Oregon lawmakers, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, unions and large organizations such as Planned Parenthood — Read got the coveted nod from Barbara Roberts, Oregon’s first female governor. She says the state “needs a governor with a statewide record of tackling tough issues.”
In the eyes of some, Read has also positioned himself as more moderate-minded.
The split between progressives and moderates within the party has become increasingly evident.
The battle lines drawn during the 2020 primaries — largely between liberals like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Warren and a group of moderates from which President Joe Biden emerged — continue to shadow the party in 2021 elections, specifically in some of the nation’s most liberal cities, including Seattle and New York, progressive candidates stumbled.
Stout says although progressives and moderates have different names, they are nearly the same in other ways with “very similar” voting records and ideals — as seen with Read and Kotek.
When it comes to the homeless crisis both say they would be more aggressive in addressing the issue, expand shelter availability and make available more affordable housing options. Both say it is important to adequately fund police. Both are adamant in protecting access to abortions. And both take strong stances with ambitious goals when it comes to climate change.
When asked by The Associated Press if Read identifies himself as moderate he replied, “I am a Democrat. I am happy to let others describe the positioning or the label associated with that.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — National park rangers in Alaska on Friday resumed an aerial search for the year’s first registered climber on North America’s tallest peak after he didn’t check in with a friend.
Because it’s so early in the climbing season, Matthias Rimml, a 35-year-old professional mountain guide from Tirol, Austria, is alone on the upper part of Denali, a 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain about 240 miles (386 kilometers) north of Anchorage. The climbing season usually runs from May through mid-July.
Other climbers and rangers are camped below the 14,000-foot (4,267-meter) level.
Rimml is not considered overdue compared to his planned return date and food and fuel supply, according to a statement from Denali National Park and Preserve on Thursday.
However, a friend who had been receiving periodic check-ins from Rimml contacted mountaineering rangers Tuesday after not receiving a call for days, the statement said.
Park officials say Rimml was already acclimated to the altitude because of recent climbs. He had planned to climb Denali “alpine style,” or traveling fast with light gear. His goal was to make the summit in five days even though he carried enough fuel and food to last 10 days.
The average Denali expedition is 17 to 21 days for a round trip, with climbers making the summit on day 12 or 13, according to the National Park Service.
Rimml began his climb April 27 from the Kahiltna Glacier base camp at 7,200 feet (2,194 meters), officials said.
His last known call to his friend was on April 30, when he reported he was tired but not in distress.
Rimml reported his location as just below Denali Pass, at 18,200 feet (5,547 meters) elevation on the West Buttress, the most popular route for Denali climbers.
On Wednesday, a pilot and mountaineering ranger in a National Park Service helicopter looked for Rimml. Intermittent clouds didn’t allow a thorough search, but they did not see any signs of him.
They saw his tent at 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) but didn’t observe any recent activity, the statement said. High winds and poor weather prevented the helicopter from landing at the campsite, but the helicopter returned Thursday when weather was better. Rangers confirmed Rimml hadn’t returned to the tent.
Clouds prevented the helicopter from flying above 17,200 feet (5,243 meters) on Thursday, but park spokesperson Maureen Gualtieri told The Associated Press a helicopter with two rangers aboard took off Friday morning from Talkeetna, the nearest community, to resume the search.
Weather conditions on the mountain have been cold, which park officials say is normal this time of the year. Daytime highs have been around minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-3.89 degrees celsius) with winds at the two base camps registering up to 30 mph (48 kph). Five inches (13 centimeters) of new snow have fallen in the past week on the upper mountain.
On the website for his guide business, Rimml said he always has been close to mountains and nature.
He trained as a carpenter after receiving his high school diploma. In 2015, after he completed military service, Rimml switched to being a freelance ski instructor in Austria and outside Europe.
He became a professional mountain guide in 2015, the fourth generation of his family to do so, his biography states. His specialty is long, technically difficult combined tours. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/05/06/rangers-conduct-aerial-search-for-climber-on-alaskas-denali.html | 2022-05-06T20:12:13Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/05/06/rangers-conduct-aerial-search-for-climber-on-alaskas-denali.html | true | 29 |

Michael Shvo and Deutsche Finance Group secured a $162.4 million construction loan from Northwind Group for their Mandarin Oriental-branded condos at 685 Fifth Avenue.
The new funding replaces a $120 million construction loan by CIM Group from December 2019. The loan should help the investors finish up work at the 69-unit project on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 54th Street, which launched sales in December.
Shvo didn’t immediately return a request for comment on why his eponymous firm elected to refinance. But the Federal Reserve’s efforts to push up interest rates suggest borrowing may soon get more expensive, creating an incentive to lock in today’s rates before they get even higher.
Northwind is a Manhattan-based real estate private equity firm founded in 2008 by Ran Eliasaf. While it owns several buildings across the city, Northwind’s debt arm focuses on loans between $10 million and $250 million, according to its website.
News of the loan first broke on Traded, the mysterious social media advertising company that has taken the commercial brokerage scene by storm.
The condo project is an unusual one for the neighborhood: Most of its neighbors are the high-end retail shops that made Fifth Avenue an international shopping destination. But its amenity-rich sales pitch aims to draw buyers with, among other perks, a private restaurant by Daniel Boulud.
The building formerly housed the Gucci headquarters and stands near some of Midtown’s busiest tourist attractions, just a block from the Museum of Modern Art and four blocks north of Rockefeller Center. | https://therealdeal.com/2022/05/06/shvo-gets-162m-loan-for-mandarin-oriental-residences/ | 2022-05-06T20:14:14Z | https://therealdeal.com/2022/05/06/shvo-gets-162m-loan-for-mandarin-oriental-residences/ | false | 1 |

Eileen Celestina Garcia raced down the mountain that overlooks her parents’ ranch home in northern New Mexico where friends and family have gathered for decades and where she has sat countless times among the stillness of the Ponderosa pines.
A wildfire was raging and Garcia knew she had just minutes to reach her parents and ensure they evacuated in time. Her hands grazed the trees as she spoke to them, thinking the least she could do is offer them gratitude and prayer in case they weren't there when she returned.
“You're trying not to panic — maybe it's not real — just asking for miracles, asking for it not to affect our valley and stop," she said.
Like many New Mexico families, Garcia's is deep-rooted not only in the land but in their Catholic faith. As the largest wildfire burning in the U.S. marches across the high alpine forests and grasslands of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, many in its path have pleaded with God for intervention in the form of rain and calm winds, and protection for their neighbors and beloved landscape.
They've invoked St. Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, the Virgin Mary as the blessed mother and the various patron saints of scattered villages. The fire has marched for several weeks across more than 262 square miles (678 square kilometers), destroying dozens of homes and forcing thousands of families to evacuate.
Favorable winds recently helped firefighters, but conditions are expected to worsen over the weekend, with consecutive days of red flag warnings. Forecasters warned of potentially historic conditions.
“There's not going to be any letup in these winds,” said John Pendergrast, an air resource adviser on the fire.
During trying times, the largely Hispanic working-class neighborhoods here also rely on community and the lessons of those who came before them. Simply put, it’s querencia — a love of home or attachment to a place.
Some described fleeing the wildfire and imagining the faces of their neighbors in the lush valleys who they've helped with baling hay, fixing cars or harvesting firewood.
“One of my neighbors described it as seeing the mountains around us burn is really like seeing a loved one burn,” said Fidel Trujillo, whose family evacuated from the tiny town of Mora. “And I don’t think that’s any kind of exaggeration.”
Religion is infused in homes across the mountains, where crosses hang above many doors. Elected officials and fire managers frequently credited prayer when winds calmed enough to allow firefighters to get a better handle on the blaze. They prayed even more when things got tough. Some started novenas, or nine-day prayers, and encouraged family and friends to join in.
The preservation of faith in this region was somewhat out of necessity. The Spanish settled the area centuries ago, but the Catholic Church as an institution was far away. Even now, deacons and priests rotate among the mission churches for Mass or to perform sacraments. People like Trujillo and his wife serve as mayordomos, or caretakers of those churches.
Also layered on the landscape are historic Spanish land grants, large ranches, traditional irrigation systems known as acequias, and moradas, which are meeting spaces for a religious brotherhood known as penitentes.
Prayer is intertwined in everything, Trujillo says, something that was passed down through generations. His dad has marked spots along hiking trails with crosses as a reminder to “pause, pray and give thanks," Trujillo said.
By the grace of God, he said, his father-in-law's ranch house in El Carmen survived the fire, and so did his childhood home in Ledoux. He's unsure about his current residence in Mora amid a valley prized for its Christmas trees.
“Sometimes when things are beyond your control, you have to lean on that faith,” Trujillo said. “That’s what faith is.”
For many New Mexicans, regardless of where they live, the pull back home is strong.
Felicia Ortiz, president of the Nevada board of education, recently bought 36 acres (14.5 hectares) behind one of the mission churches to maintain roots in New Mexico. The land burned, but she's hopeful some trees remain.
Nearby at her childhood home in Rociada, she remembers stomping on the dirt to make adobe bricks and peeling logs her family harvested to build a barn. She and her sister skated on a frozen pond in the yard and sledded down the hills. They watched the full moon rise over a tree next to their playhouse as her dad played “Bad Moon Rising” on vinyl.
Flames destroyed the house.
“I look at the pictures, and it looks like something out of a horror movie,” Ortiz said. “The tree that I had a swing on, it’s just a stick. The big piñon tree where we picked piñon, it’s like palitos (little sticks) now.”
Las Vegas Mayor Louie Trujillo called northern New Mexicans physically, emotionally and spiritually strong — “a breed of our own.” Many residents invoked the teachings and resilient spirits of their ancestors when offering up their homes to evacuees, feeding them, rescuing animals and starting fundraisers.
Garcia and her 9-year-old son, Leoncio, took refuge during the coronavirus pandemic at her parents' ranch in Sapello and haven't left. It's where her family milked cows and made cheese to sell to neighbors. It's where she sat among the trees overlooking the valley and dreamt about going to college and helping her family.
More recently, the trees gave her the solace she needed to write a chapter in a book about female trailblazers.
When fleeing, she grabbed pictures of relatives and a bag with religious items that she carried on a 100-mile (160-kilometer) pilgrimage she organized and walked for 10 years.
“If our ranch and our trees are still there, what I keep seeing is an opportunity to offer space for healing for folks to come and sit with the trees that they've lost," she said.

Woodward Radio Group’s station 95.9 KISS FM (WKSZ-FM) is naming new hosts and staff.
Reed Petitpren is the station’s new afternoon host and digital content creator and Edgar Ybarra is the station’s new music director and midday host.
“I am excited to work with the great crew here at WRG.” Petitpren said. “There is something about the vibe here that is just different. WRG does radio the way radio is supposed to be done, local and community oriented.”
Petitpren was previously at GO 96.3 (KQGO) in Minneapolis.
“I found the elusive unicorn in Woodward Radio Group. I’m excited to join the team,” Ybarra said. “The opportunity to be live and local and to be able to create fresh and new content on KISS-FM for northeast Wisconsin is one I couldn’t pass up. The team that has been put together for KISS-FM and all of Woodward is top notch. It’s a rare vibe to find in the radio business these days and I’m really happy to be part of it.”
Ybarra is a veteran of the Green Bay/Appleton/Oshkosh market. Most recently YBARRA worked for V-Creative and Cumulus.
“Losing two major talents of the station (Heather Storm and Drake Webb) in the last six months was a huge hit, but taking the time and doing it right, both Petitpren and Ybarra should be staples of the station for years to come,” Brand Manager Joe Marroe said.
Petitpren started his afternoon show Monday and Ybarra jumps on board May 9. | https://www.wi-broadcasters.org/green-bay-station-names-new-staff/ | 2022-05-06T20:22:51Z | https://www.wi-broadcasters.org/green-bay-station-names-new-staff/ | true | 1 |

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Kings raised the Stanley Cup for the second time in June 2014, punctuating a phenomenal three-year run in which the longtime NHL afterthoughts won 10 playoff series as one of the most tenacious teams in hockey.
And then the Kings won just one playoff game in nearly eight years between that Cup title and Monday’s series-opening victory in Edmonton.
Getting to the pinnacle of the sport was a long, laborious process for a Second Six franchise that won one conference title in its first 43 seasons of existence. That three-year period of success from 2012-14 was a comfort to LA’s long-suffering fans well after their team slipped back into the NHL pack.
With a roster that exceeded many expectations this season just by making the playoffs, the Kings are starting to believe that getting back to the top might not take decades again.
Coach Todd McLellan loves the progress Los Angeles has made heading into Game 3 on Friday night tied 1-1 with the star-studded Oilers in their first-round series. The Kings are still underdogs, but they are confident they are building something.
“I think it gives us a marker on the line of evolution, and the marker moves each year,” McLellan said of the Kings’ first playoff berth in four years.
“The marker on the line was actually moving backwards the first few years, and now it’s come back to even, and starting to move towards where we need to take it,” McLellan added. “That’s a reflection on the plan, the resiliency of the plan, the scouting staff, development team, everybody and anybody that’s involved in the organization, including the players.”
The Kings slid slowly from their peak while former general manager Dean Lombardi’s front office mightily tried to preserve a championship-winning culture. They handed out enormous contracts with baffling regularity, and they ended up regretting many of them.
Trapped between reloading and rebuilding, the Kings finally were forced to change nearly every key component of their franchise over the past eight seasons. The team that takes the ice in downtown Los Angeles for Game 3 on Friday night has only a few things in common with the champions who raised the two title banners hanging in the rafters.
Yet the Kings managed to preserve a remarkable, nearly unique foundation in the modern game.
Four players remain on the roster from their two championship teams. Because star defenseman Drew Doughty is out for the season after wrist surgery, only three are playing against the Oilers — and with Dustin Brown’s pending retirement, only three will be back next season.
What a quartet it is, however: Brown, Doughty, Anze Kopitar and Jonathan Quick were drafted and developed by the Kings between 2003 and 2008, and they’ve been together for the past 14 seasons.
Few teams in all sports can boast of such continuity — and while the Kings overhauled their front office, made three coaching changes and replaced every other player on the roster since their championships, those four have stayed to give Los Angeles an identity, a ticket-selling focal point and an institutional memory of success.
“Those four guys take the lead,” general manager Rob Blake said. “That’s the reason this team is where it’s at. … It makes it a heck of a lot easier from our point of view because they have been able to win. A lot of times, you’re like, ‘Well, do we keep (the core)? Have they been able to (win)?’ They’ve been able to do that.”
Yet the Kings treaded water for several seasons in a mediocre stretch that continued even after Blake took charge of the front office in 2017 and McLellan took over behind the bench in 2019. The current season loomed as a vital stage in the process after the Kings finished seventh and sixth in the Pacific Division in McLellan’s first two years.
But the current Kings developed a clear identity that resulted in a 44-27-11 regular season and 99 points — their most since 2016.
Los Angeles wins by relentlessly clogging the neutral zone, doggedly defending its opponents’ top players and doing enough offensively to score 235 goals, fewer than every playoff team except Dallas. Their defense is bolstered by an incredible bounce-back season from Quick, the former Conn Smythe Trophy winner whose career in LA appeared to be all but over a season ago.
While Brown and captain Kopitar provide leadership and points, the second generation of talent is emerging alongside Blake’s canny acquisitions of veterans Phillip Danault and Viktor Arvidsson. Adrian Kempe had career highs of 35 goals and 54 points in his All-Star season, and Southern California native Trevor Moore chipped in with a career-high 48 points.
The Kings persevered through a 1-5-1 start to the season and ensuing injury problems to emerge as the third-best team in the Pacific Division. Even if they don’t manage to upset the Oilers, Los Angeles is building a base of success for its next generation.
“Some of the young guys have taken on (leadership) roles that maybe necessarily weren’t expect from them just because we had so many guys hurt throughout the season,” Kopitar said. “They’ve handled a bit more pressure than maybe we should’ve put ’em through to begin with, so I like where our team is at.”

PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Mercury open the season at home Friday night against the Las Vegas Aces.
One player who won't be on the bench will be prominently on everyone's minds: Brittney Griner.
As the Mercury and the rest of WNBA move forward in the 2022 season, Griner is nearing the three-month mark of her detention in Russia, with no timetable for her release.
“We think about her every day,” Mercury guard Skylar Diggins-Smith said recently. “We love her and we’re going to continue to carry her legacy, her voice and play in her honor until she gets back here with us.”
Griner was detained on Feb. 17 after authorities at the Moscow airport said they found vape cartridges that allegedly contained oil derived from cannabis in her luggage, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. The Biden administration determined Griner is being wrongfully detained and she has a hearing set for May 19.
The WNBA will honor Griner with a floor decal with her initials on her No. 42 in arenas across the league as she continues to be detained.
A 6-foot-9 center, Griner and WNBA career leading scorer Diana Taurasi have been the key cogs for a Mercury franchise that won the 2014 WNBA title and reached the final last season, losing to the Chicago Sky.
Griner is a six-time All-Star and won consecutive WNBA Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2014-15. She had one of the best seasons of her nine-year WNBA career in 2021, leading the WNBA in blocked shots while finishing second in scoring and sixth in rebounding.
Griner again was expected to play a key role for the Mercury this season after the team bolstered its roster with the additions of Tina Charles and Diamond DeShields.
Now Phoenix must adjust to playing without Griner.
“Once you bounce the ball, you start blowing the whistle, that’s all you’re really focused on when you’re a competitor,” Mercury first-year coach Vanessa Nygaard said. “In basketball, at any time, somebody could be injured or something could happen and they wouldn’t be available, and you got to fight with what you got in the moment."

Although not a technology company in the traditional sense, Ember has developed a mobile app to facilitate owner operation, communication and service needs.
Are you receiving Inman’s Agent Edge? Make sure you’re subscribed for the latest on real estate technology from Inman’s expert Craig Rowe.
Ember is a tech-forward co-ownership real estate company with a mobile app for homeowners.
Platforms: iOS app; Android pending
Ideal for: All brokerages, teams and agents
Top selling points:
- Engaging calendar UI
- Clear, fast date reservation
- Stay tracking
- Built-in “anti-date monopolization”
- Simple, secure property access
Top concern:
I’d like to see a way to certify that the owner is the one entering the home, or at least has granted formal permission for use. The only way co-owned homes could get negatively associated with short-term rentals is by owners sharing them with less-than-responsible friends or family members. Once the access codes to the home are shared, the risk of “pop-ins” and inadvertent overlapping stays goes up.
What you should know
Ember is another entry in the co-ownership market, a small but growing segment of the market that profits from selling shares of luxury homes. Properties are secured by Ember under an LLC and sold off, typically in 1/8, but up to 1/2, shares with corresponding occupancy equity, furnishings and professional care and management. Although not a technology company in the traditional sense, Ember has developed a mobile app to facilitate owner operation, communication and service needs.
Agents who work with luxury buyers to secure a share of an Ember home should be aware of how this unique purchasing model operates, thus I thought it would be worthwhile to explore the primary interface between your client and Ember, the seller.
With an Android app on the way, Ember’s iOS app is, overall, a relatively streamlined method for coordinating how co-owners work together to manage who stays in the home and when. The company is noticing a trend of owners securing shares in multiple homes, so the app displays a list of each property with which a user is associated.
There’s cool, tile/card UI that sharply consolidates app content and features, making adoption quick and logical.
The company wants to “absorb complexity and deliver simplicity,” according to chief experience officer Jeff Lyman, who demonstrated the product for me. Their take on software design certainly exemplifies that approach.
Because the app is primarily designed to juggle stays in each home among multiple parties and likely their friends, the performance of its calendar functionality is paramount.
Users are allowed six and a half weeks per year with a 1/8 share and no more than seven days at a time to ensure availability, and the calendar visibly confirms the limitations and alerts users should they mistakenly aim for more days. The app allows for bookings with as little as 24 hours notice.
Professional cleaning is included with an Ember home, but users can choose to self-clean.
Access to each home is made evident upon log-in, with clear lock access information, Wi-Fi network logins, pet policy reminders and all contacts for the local concierge team. I use Airbnb a lot, and I wish its app was more like Ember’s.
With the former, access information simply isn’t as easy to find. I often have to scroll, tap into a content field and hope the owner entered it correctly or didn’t forget to tell me the codes were changed. Having a central source for how to enter and use a home’s systems is a better solution.
Owners can track previous and upcoming stays, any cancellations and how many stays they have left.
Remember, co-ownership models make the most sense for vacation homes because the use periods emulate common occupancy habits for second homeowners. I live in a resort townm and at one time, had only vacation homeowners for neighbors. I never met one of them over a two-year period.
Maybe Ember, and its chief colleagues in the category, Pacaso and Kokomo, can actually make vacation homeownership make sense for those who only spend a few weeks per year in their homes. I don’t want to see these companies be “competitors.” There’s a worthwhile idea here, and plenty of big, glamorous homes to go around.
If these companies can continue to avoid removing median-priced housing stock from their respective markets (so far, so good), continue to pay agents for bringing them buyers and provide business to local service providers, I’d like to see this innovative form of ownership continue to evolve.

Mother turns to social media as baby formula shortage grows
PHOENIX (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) - One mother has discovered that finding the specific type of formula she needs for her infant son is becoming increasingly more difficult amid supply chain issues.
Arizona’s Family reports Jessica Contreras’ son Hartford, who is 6 months old, is dealing with medical issues that limit the type of formula he can use. Hartford has severe allergies and battles moderate eczema.
“Our routine consists of steroids twice a day, pretty much throughout his body,” Contreras said. “Two different types of steroids, moisturizing ointment a few times a day, daily allergy medicine, probiotics and bleach baths three to four times a week.”
The skin conditions have left Hartford with scabs, cuts and bruises all over his skin.
“We found out he was allergic to eggs and casein, which is a protein found in most mammals’ milk, cow’s milk and goat’s milk, so that was helpful because we found out the formula he was using had casein, which most formulas do,” Contreras said.
Contreras can’t breastfeed Hartford, so she turned to social media for help finding the right formula for her child.
“It was beyond what I ever imagined when I posted on Facebook. I really thought I was just asking my friends and family to keep an eye out when they went to the store,” Contreras said. “Within days, I had moms not only in Arizona but throughout the country offering to help me.”
Hartford now has enough formula for a few months, and Contreras acknowledges she is lucky.
“I purchased some formula on OfferUp, and I sent money to women throughout the country, and thankfully they returned formula, but that’s not always the case,” she said.
Contreras now hopes to pay it forward, already sending formula she will not be using to other moms in need.

The metal band, Cult Of Luna, has transformed their music video for their song “Cold Burn” into an interactive gaming experience. The gaming experience was in collaboration with creative agency North Kingdom/NoA.
According to Brave Words, he player’s mission is to help a “lost light” to escape the darkness, and to find its way home through a dystopian maze. The player can also gather other lights and bring them to The Mother Light, at the center of the maze. The single has been rebuilt in the real-time tool Unreal Engine, to dynamically adapt to how the player navigates the gaming experience’s world. This makes each experience unique in the dynamic version.
The gaming experience can be found on Steam. The Swedish creative agency North Kingdom/NoA, who helped create the game, has a long-running experience of collaborating with gaming and tech companies such as EA, Riot Games, and Google, according to Brave Words.
Johannes Persson, the vocalist and guitarist of Cult Of Luna, released a statement on the gaming experience, per Brave Words.
“For as long as we have known Linus Johansson of North Kingdom, which spans from the Leave me here video in 2004, he’s always tried to push interactivity and blur the line between the artist and the art,” Persson said in the statement. “So it came as no surprise to us when he suggested making a video game out of the Cold burn video. ‘Go right ahead,’ we said, and now we are as intrigued by the result as we hope you are.”
Music-wise, Cult Of Luna recently released their thirteenth studio album in February, titled The Long Road North. “Cold Burn” was the intro track off of that album. This was their first album since 2021’s The Raging River. The band has been releasing albums for over 20 years, with their first album, which was self-titled, being released in 2001.
