- African American women are three times more likely to die from complications due to pregnancy.
- Black women are disproportionately burdened by chronic conditions, such as anemia, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and obesity.
- Evidence exists that racial differences in socioeconomic (education and employment) and housing outcomes results in systematic unequal treatment of Black women.

The event scheduled on Wednesday, May 18 is two-fold with student assemblies in the morning and an adult program beginning with a reception at 5:30 p.m. and a program at 6:30 p.m.
While the student portion of the event will focus on physical and mental health, the adult session will add a discussion on sexual health as a component. Health questions from the audience will be answered by black medical professionals who commonly address the health care needs unique to Black women. Admission is free with registration.

Australian central bank hikes rate for 1st time in 11 years
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s central bank on Tuesday lifted its benchmark interest rate for the first time in more than 11 years. The cash rate rose from 0.1% to 0.35% in a move potentially damaging to a government that will seek reelection on May 21. A...

Fed hawks Waller, Bullard push back on 'behind the curve' view
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
May 6 (Reuters) - Two of the Federal Reserve's most outspoken policy hawks on Friday pushed back on the view that the U.S. central bank has missed the boat on the fight against high inflation, citing a tightening of financial conditions that began well before the Fed began raising interest rates in March.
"How far behind the curve could we have possibly been if, using forward guidance, one views rate hikes effectively beginning in September 2021?" Fed Governor Christopher Waller said, noting the rise in yields on the two-year Treasury note that began last fall.
"What may appear as a policy error to some was viewed as appropriate policy by others based on their views regarding the health of the labor market," Waller said in remarks prepared for delivery at a conference at Stanford University titled "How monetary policy got behind the curve."

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, also in remarks prepared for delivery at the conference, took note of the rise in the yield on the two-year Treasury note, seen as a good measure of near-term expectations for the Fed's policy interest rate. The Fed raised the latter to a range of 0.75% to 1% earlier this week, a level that critics say is far too low to fight inflation running at three times the Fed's 2% target.
Given that the two-year Treasury yield this week was around 2.7%, "the Fed is not as far 'behind the curve'" as such critics suggest, Bullard said, "although (the Fed) would still have to raise the policy rate to ratify the forward guidance."
Waller and Bullard were among the first Fed policy makers last year to call for a rapid removal of easy monetary policy and a quicker start to raising interest rates.

The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is now into its fourth week, and Amber Heard has taken to the stand for the first time in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against her.
Heard has accused Depp of multiple instances of alleged assault – all of which he has denied.
Depp is suing Heard for $50m (£40m) over an article she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018, in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse”.
Although Heard did not name Depp in the article, he claims it has cost him acting roles. She has counter-sued him for $100m (£80m).
Will Amber Heard take the stand again?
Amber Heard’s trial will resume on Monday, 16 May, with Heard returning to the stand to continue her testimony.
The trial is scheduled to last five weeks in total. The fourth week began on Monday, 2 May.
However, Judge Penney S. Azcarate has a previously scheduled conference engagement from 9-12 May, so the trial will be put on hold for a week.
Where can I watch the Johnny Depp trial?
The trial is being streamed live on YouTube by the following outlets:
You can also watch it live on the Law & Crime Network and Court TV websites.
The trial is running every Monday to Thursday from Fairfax, Virginia – where The Washington Post is printed. It starts at 10am local time and finishes at 5pm.
That means it starts at 3pm in the UK, and finishes at 10pm.
When will the verdict be?
The trial is set to conclude on Thursday, 19 May.
The trial is before a jury, which means we will need to wait for them to deliberate before a verdict is announced. This could take a matter of hours or several days.
The jury will decide whether, on the balance of probabilities, Heard did defame Depp in the Washington Post article, and this will determine whether Depp is granted damages. | https://inews.co.uk/news/where-watch-johnny-depp-trial-how-to-watch-amber-heard-testify-live-1615087 | 2022-05-06T23:30:50Z | https://inews.co.uk/news/where-watch-johnny-depp-trial-how-to-watch-amber-heard-testify-live-1615087 | false | 1 |

DEAR KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN CO-CEOS SABIR SAMI & COL. HARLAND DAVID SANDERS — Revered gentlemen, I take digits to keyboards to complain. Guess what. It’s about chicken. Actually, I’m embarrassed taking your time because you poor two must spend every waking moment discussing, well — chicken.
I can only imagine corporate board meetings. A million six useless middle management types around a conference table the size of an aircraft carrier. Somebody asks: “What should we talk about today?”
Long, poignant silence. A hand from a young veep, possibly from KFC’s crackerjack Beaks & Feet Division, sheepishly raises his hand to query: “Chicken?”
Anyway. Sabbi. Harland. The other night, a half-hour before closing, I had the fried bird vibes worse than Wile E. Coyote. I pull into a Santa Clarita KFC outlet. I can’t say where because my teenage editor gets the heebie-jeebies when I note that it’s in the part of our valley rich in Section H housing, meth labs, drive-by shootings and sidewalks teeming with pedestrians wearing loudly beeping ankle monitors.
I mosey through the drive-through. A disinterested voice asks: “What.” I order my usual: “The extra-crispy Four-Piece Combo — EXTRA CRISPY. Two Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, No Biscuit and an extra-large Coke.” (pause) “EXTRA (pause) CRISPY…”
I pause.
“That’s the chicken, extra crispy, not the Coke.”
That’s me. Entertainment Source To All Smiling-Out-Of-Context Providers Of Early Heart Disease.
Whether I engaged someone living a life of quiet desperation or a fentanyl sufferer, my simple order always kicks off an argument. First, the D.I.E. (Disinterested Intercom Engineer) will correct me that a four-piece combo only comes with ONE quarter-ounce mashed potato cup. I respond that yes, I know, but I’d like to buy a second one and that I’m not a homeless person at the loudspeaker outside and would be giddy to pay cash money. The KFCmeister then informs that they don’t have extra-large drinks. Just large and medium. I note that would mean that my large, by default, would therefore be, an extra-large. Or perhaps, extra medium? Three ice cubes? To their credit, the KFC staff at this particular outlet in fab SCV Hoodlumtown are honest and point out they don’t have Coke, but rather, Pepsi.
I could point out to the 23-year-old in the soul-sucking clown costume with four children, alimony and a $912-a-month truck payment who paid not one iota of attention in grades K-12 that Pepsi is swill. Chinese prison officials use it to send prisoners on death row to Commie B-Word H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.
“All it takes is just 3 ounces of Pepsi. Then your eyelids flutter, you foam at the mouth, your heart races to 4,016 bpm and you go ‘heeb-beeb-beeb-beeb-beeb’ just like one of the Stooges before you’re deader than the Macarena.” I don’t say that. But, sometimes, I’ll ask: “When ARE you getting Coca-Cola?” I pick the Dr. Pepper, although it’s a crapshoot whether Dr. P will be flat, ant-spray-tasting diet or face-making too sweet.
Always, the KFC helper repeats the order, adding “original recipe.” I frantically correct into the box “EXTRA CRISPY!!”
“Oh. You want that extra crispy?”
I press my lips together to let not escape what is dying to be free: “No. I want two lesbians, a glass of water and half a doughnut hole…”
This last time, Sabbi & Harland, was different. The order taker informed me that they only had extra crispy in legs but they could give me the rest of my order in Original Recipe, which I don’t like, no offense, because you can sneeze on an O.R. drumstick and the chicken will fly off the bone and stick to a wall 40 feet away.
The gal said that for some reason (poor counting, I’m guessing) they had tons of extra crispy legs left over. Which was fine with me because I LOVE KFC legs. I asked just give me all extra crispy legs. There is an ex-wife joke in there, but it’s not a topic shared over a fast food intercom during the #MeToo Movement. Seeing that I’m getting considerably less chicken, I asked if they could just give me five or six legs to make up the difference.
Mind you, this is 30 minutes before closing. KFC staffer says by biblical canon, they can’t switch from leg, wing, breast and thigh not even if Jesus were coming. It’s nearly 10. Dinner time for me. I crumple and order five extra crispy legs, no biscuit and a mashed potato, no drink (I keep Coke at home). Tired, she responds: “That’ll be $29.86 at the first window, please.”
Un-man-like, I screamed.
I asked if I heard that right because I’ve purchased actual, running automobiles for the price of 10 chicken legs. I spoke with the manager. I was going to point out that what chicken (and I’m guessing it was all extra crispy) the staff didn’t take home for a late-night Orgy of Grease (same title as a 1957 Steve Reeves Hercules movie) the KFC late shift would throw in the garbage. I didn’t point that out because it would have given the manager the straight line of telling me to come back after 10 and check the trash bin.
Fellas. Six bucks? Per midget-chicken wing? I can get an entire fowl at the local Santa Clarita Piggly Wiggly for about six bucks. Already barbecued. I’m not good at math, but I think that comes out to something like 37 legs.
So Sabbi. Col. Sanders. I know times are tough as we head toward the One Brain Cell Dopey Joe Biden/Democrat Party-caused End Of Times Depression. Everything’s costing more.
I ended up driving through nearby Taco Bob Cow No Bueno, open 24 hours, which sells lesbians, water and mini-mini doughnut holes along with “six petite” crunchy tacos. It’s the No. 246 combo. $1.19, limit of two sauces.
Just thought you guys wanted to know. Sincerely, I remain…

The Ohio Supreme Court is deliberating over maps that have already been reviewed and rejected by justices two months ago.
On Thursday, the Ohio Redistricting Commission voted to re-adopt maps they passed at the end of February. With that decision, the commission failed a court order to adopt new maps.
The resubmitted maps, now known as Map 3, created 54 Republican and 45 Democratic House seats along with 18 Republican and 15 Democratic Senate seats.
However, 16 of the 45 Democratic House seats and six of the 15 Democratic Senate seats are within a 3% margin of competitiveness. The supreme court invalidated the maps March 16 for unduly favoring the GOP because of that disproportional number of Democratic seats that were toss-up districts.
By resubmitting unconstitutional maps to the supreme court for review, state Republican leaders appear to be leaning on a federal court ruling to take hold.
Even if the supreme court rejects the maps again, the federal court will implement the unconstitutional Map 3 anyway. Federal judges ruled they would intervene by May 28, if Ohio officials can't break the redistricting logjam.
The federal court decision is the result of a lawsuit filed by a group of Republican voters in February. That lawsuit argued state officials involved in the redistricting process — Ohio Supreme Court and Ohio Redistricting Commission — were at an "impasse." That lawsuit was filed a day after the redistricting commission failed to meet a court-ordered deadline to adopt a third set of maps. The commission ended up adopting a plan seven days later.
Once the redistricting commission submitted and the supreme court rejected a fourth set of maps, a federal three-judge panel ruled that Ohio had until May 28 to implement constitutional maps.
Republican redistricting commissioners argued that Map 3 had to be implemented because it's the only plan that would allow elections officials to carry out an Aug. 2 primary. That primary, which has yet to be scheduled by the legislature, would be for Ohio House and Ohio Senate races. Those races were removed from the May 3 ballot because the maps were still in limbo.
Voting rights advocates, community organizations, and national Democratic groups argue that the redistricting commission has failed in its constitutional duty to adopt maps that follow Ohio's laws.
The last time the redistricting commission failed to meet a court-ordered deadline, Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, a Republican, filed a motion for every commissioner to explain why they should not be held in contempt. That request was lifted once the commission went back to work on drawing new maps.

Story at a glance
- The Phoenix Union High School District in Arizona this week passed a resolution supporting transgender student athletes.
- The resolution challenges a state law passed in March that bars transgender women and girls from competing on sports teams aligning with their gender identity.
- The district’s governing board in its resolution said it opposes the law, which could have damaging and lasting effects on the mental health of LGBTQ+ students in Arizona.
An Arizona high school district on Thursday passed a resolution to support its transgender student athletes, challenging a state law passed in March that bans transgender youth from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity.
In a resolution passed Thursday evening pledging to support transgender youth in Arizona, the Phoenix Union High School District’s governing board wrote that it believes “every child deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and provided fair access to opportunities” regardless of their gender identity or gender expression.
The district added that it believes all students should be able to attend school in a “safe and inclusive environment” that is “free from discrimination.”
In March, Arizona’s Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed into law legislation requiring public and private schools in the state to designate sports teams based on student athletes’ “biological sex,” writing in a signing letter that the measure merely recognizes “that there are inherent biological distinctions that merit separate categories to ensure fairness for all.”

“This legislation simply ensures that the young girls and young women who have dedicated themselves to their sport do not miss out on hard-earned opportunities including their titles, standings and scholarships due to unfair competition,” Ducey wrote.
In enacting that law, Arizona joined more than a dozen other states passing legislation to keep transgender students out of athletics. Since then, Kentucky and Georgia have also signed transgender athlete bans into law.
The Phoenix Union High School District in its resolution cited research from the LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention group The Trevor Project, which in a report published earlier this week found LGBTQ+ young people who do not feel affirmed in their identity are more likely to attempt suicide and self-harm.
“The Governing Board opposes legislation that is an attack on the safety of trans children and youth including legislation requiring them to participate in athletic competitions based on their sex assigned at birth,” the resolution, signed by Governing Board President Lela Alston and Governing Board Clerk Stanford Prescott, reads.
Changing America has reached out to the Phoenix Union High School District for comment.
Earlier this week, the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) voted unanimously to ban transgender student athletes in the state from competing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity, doubling down on a state law that already prevent transgender youth from participating in athletics. | https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/3479720-arizona-school-district-passes-resolution-opposing-states-transgender-sports-ban/ | 2022-05-06T23:54:35Z | https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/3479720-arizona-school-district-passes-resolution-opposing-states-transgender-sports-ban/ | true | 1 |

Finance Minister Colm Imbert. – Parliament
FINANCE Minister Colm Imbert has said his ministry has received some 247,999 returns for residential property for payment of the property tax, paving the way for the collection of that tax.
He was replying to a listed question by Couva South MP Rudranath Indarsingh in the House of Representatives on Friday.
In a supplemental question, Indarsingh asked if these returns had let the Government meet the legal threshold of returns required for the implementation of the tax.
Imbert replied that the country has 400,000 residential properties, some 247,999 returns were received, and the threshold is a 50 per cent submission rate.
By Newsday’s calculation, the number of residential returns lodged did in fact meet and exceed the 50 per cent requirement.
Imbert said the ministry had also received 10,303 returns for commercial lands, 17,663 agricultural returns and 18,495 mixed-use returns.
In September 2021, a paid press advertisement said non-compliance would incur a $5,000 fine.
The Valuation of Land Act in fact listed this sum as a fine for obstruction of officers of the Valuation Division, saying any non-submission of a return would be penalised by a $500 fine.
Oropouche West MP Davendranath Tancoo gave an immediate response to Newsday. “We maintain that the imposition of this tax at this time, and on the basis on which it is calculated – annual rental value for properties that earn no revenue – is a burden on the backs and necks of citizens at a time when many are unable to bear it, especially in light of rising food prices, higher utility rates coming, higher transport costs and falling standards of living.” | https://trinidadtribune.com/imbert-247999-property-tax-returns-received-for-private-homes/ | 2022-05-06T23:57:32Z | https://trinidadtribune.com/imbert-247999-property-tax-returns-received-for-private-homes/ | true | 2 |

This story was updated in May 2022 to ensure all portable air conditioners tested and vetted by Good Housekeeping Institute Chief Technologist were in stock and reflected current pricing.
If you don't have central air and need to cool a room ASAP, the first question you have to address is whether you want to buy a portable AC unit or a window air conditioner. When deciding whether or not to buy a portable air conditioner, the experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute take into account how well they perform, how efficient they are and whether they are easy to use. A portable air conditioner is the best route if you can't install a window air conditioner in your space because of design limitations or building restrictions. It’s also a better pick if you’d like a mobile air conditioning unit that can be moved from room to room or stored away at the end of the season.
The experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute rounded up the best portable air conditioners on the market based on categorical expertise from brands we trust, love and use. Since the onset of the pandemic we have road tested nearly 24 models, and reviewed documentation on newer variants of ones we've previously reviewed. We look to see how easy they are to set up, how efficiently they cool a space and how intuitive they are to operate and maintain. The following models were selected because they are efficient at cooling and cutting down on high humidity and easy to use and install. Here are the best portable air conditioners you can buy:
This powerful portable AC from Whynter has a dual hose so it can cool down a room faster than other portable units. Our engineers were impressed by its year-round versatility; in dehumidifier mode, it removed up to 101 pints in a 24-hour period and as a heater it can generate heat up to 77°F. Testers also like the programmable timer that lets you set a schedule for throughout the day, for example programming it to turn on 30 minutes before you'll be home from work. and you can monitor temperature on the digital readout. The exhaust hose extends up to five feet so you'll have some flexibility in placing it, but you'll definitely want to clear the area. The storage bag is a nice added convenience if you do need to stow the unit away throughout the year.
This inexpensive evaporative air cooler is ideal for a small office or bedroom in dryer climates (where humidity stays under 45%). You'll get more of a cool breeze than intense cold air, but it's a solid affordable option for a room that needs a chill. Because it cools air by the evaporation of water, it doesn't need to be hooked up to a window in order to work, so you have more flexibility in choosing where to place it and it only weighs 11.2 pounds, making it easy to move around. The included remote is an extra bonus — control it without needing to leave your bed.
Look to this unit to cool your bedroom without keeping you up at night. It's quieter than other portable air conditioners and at 53 pounds, you won't strain a muscle moving it. It has a smaller suggested cooling area, so it's best for an office or small bedroom. The filter slides out of the back for easy access for cleaning, and the included remote means you won't have to pause working or get out of bed to change the settings.
Similar to our best overall pick from Whynter, this double-hosed cooler and dehumidifier is rated for rooms up to 400 square feet. Our engineers note the instructions and setup are clear-cut and easy to follow, the whole setup was done in about five minutes. The 24-hour programmable timer and included remote helps you better manage cooling throughout the day. Whynter claims it can dehumidify up to 76 pints per 24 hour period. The manufacturer's claimed noise level is under 52 dBA, and in our test environment our lead analyst found it easy to sleep through its operation. The included storage bag helps keep all parts and accessories together for storage in the winter.
If you need to cool down an extra-large space, like a great room or big studio apartment, this DeLonghi is a great choice, with its chart-topping 700-square-foot cooling capacity. "Like all portable ACs, it makes some noise at full power, but the quiet mode setting cuts the clamor in half, good for bedrooms," says DiClerico. Our engineers also like the washable filter screen, making the unit a good fit for allergy sufferers. DeLonghi also says that the UV-C technology zaps airborne viruses in the room, but we haven't tested the claim, so our recommendation is based on the AC's impressive cooling power. In our hands-on review, we found it was able to quickly and efficiently cool the test space.
This all-in-one heater, dehumidifier, fan and cooler will get you through the year with multi functionality. Whynter claims this unit can cool up to 400 square feet, and it can dehumidify up to 96 pints over 24 hours. The two-hose operation helps it cool a room faster than single-hosed portable ACs, and the front facing read out helps you monitor the temperature with ease. You can program it up to a 24 hour period.
In our road tests. we found this unit to be relatively quiet for its output and simple to move as needed. With the built-in WiFi you can start or stop your cooling remotely, helping to optimize a room before you enter. Or you can opt for using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device to control it for ultimate flexibility and ease. You can set it to cool mode, fan mode or dry mode, helping to find the ideal environment based upon what sort of day it is (e.g. hot and humid or rainy and damp). We also found the controls to be clear and easy to use on the machine.
If you like to control your lights, thermostat, doorbell, and more by your smart phone or voice control, you’ll probably want that same convenience with your portable AC. This model from LG is one of the smartest from our tests, thanks to its patented LG ThinQ technology, which integrates with the smart phone app, as well as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It’s also a highly versatile machine, able to cool, dehumidify or just circulate air in its fan-only mode. Adds DiClerico, "this particular LG is also a good choice if brownouts are common in your area, since it will automatically turn itself back on after a power outage."
Since a portable AC is constantly conditioning the air in a room, it’s a good opportunity to filter out dust and other airborne particles. That’s what sets this Frigidaire apart — an onboard washable filter that helps cut down on dust (though it’s no substitute for regular vacuuming!). The Frigidaire offers other features our testers look for, like intuitive controls, a dry mode for humid spaces and a helpful child lock. It’s also very quiet at low and high speeds alike, making it another good choice for bedrooms. As it is WiFi connected and works with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you can control remote on/off through the compatible app or voice control.
Black _ Decker is known for combining value with capable performance, and that’s our testers take on this unit. Other top picks deliver better cooling output, but the Black+Decker does a respectable job, plus it doubles as a heater for year-round use. It also features dehumidification and fan-only modes for even more versatility. Add in a price tag that’s $100 or more lower than many competitors and it’s clear why this portable AC is worth a look.
What to look for when shopping for a portable air conditioner
While useful features and aesthetics are nice, most importantly, you'll have to find a portable air conditioner with the correct British thermal units (BTUs) or Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) rating for capacity. Too strong and you’ll waste unnecessary power, too weak and you’ll likewise use too much energy continuously running the machine on full power and still feeling too warm.
✔️ BTUs: This is how conditioner capacity is measured. It equates to a particular room size for cooling. BTU stands for British Thermal Units.
✔️ SAAC: More recently, the Department of Energy (DOE) introduced new standards were introduced. SACC is a rating in BTU/hour that is meant to more accurately portray the capabilities of the machine by providing a weighted average based on a variety of test conditions, not just an average use case (think a combination of normal usage, muggy day, a particularly hot or dry day, etc.). This new rating is measured in BTU per hour and is a weighted average based on a variety of test conditions. You may have to size up if your room is atypical, such as having high ceilings or being in a particularly sunny place.
Are portable air conditioners as good as window units?
If you have the ability to window-mount, you’re likely going to have more success cooling a room. You may be able to find comparable portable AC units to those that have to be wall or window mounted, but you’re likely going to pay more for them. While portable air conditioners are meant to be easier to move about (they're on wheels after all), they do tend to be louder, since all their mechanicals are sitting right there in the room, instead of out the window. They can also be larger than their counterparts, weighing up to 80 pounds. That and the fact that an exhaust hose is necessary for venting, they’re not as portable as one may imagine.
Portable AC units take up floor space, so it’s important to make sure you have the extra square footage for one. You want to place the unit away from walls so the airflow isn’t restricted, but that will likely mean a longer hose and more space taken up. Which is another drawback, as they require an exhaust tube to be removed and re-installed each time it is moved to another space. For proper efficiency, you need to make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible as kinks can limit the effectiveness.
Do portable ACs have to be vented out a window?
Yes. A portable AC does not work without an exhaust hose. "We hear about consumers who didn't know about the hose and as a result end up with a serious case of buyers' remorse," says Good Housekeeping Institute Home Improvement Director, Dan DiClerico. The machines have to be vented to the outside because they are extracting the hot air that you want released outside of the room. You can choose to vent through a window (most common), wall, ceiling or even door in theory.
Since there are no portable ACs without an exhaust hose, you may want to consider an evaporative cooler if you want a portable unit with no venting to the outside. They require a large amount of water to cool the space and are ideal in dry climates where humidity levels are low and the air is hot.

Meek Mill wants a piece of the action.
Elon Musk made one of the biggest acquisitions in media last month after dropping $44B to buy out Twitter. There have been plenty of mixed reactions to the news. Some felt that it's dangerous to have a single owner of a platform like Twitter while others think that Elon Musk's leadership is necessary for the sake of free speech.
Mike Coppola/Getty Images
It seems that some feel that Musk should've opened the floor for other investors to chip in. Meek Mill went to Twitter where he said that Elon Musk should've allowed others to invest with him. “Elon musk let us invest in Twitter with you ‘big homie,'” Meek wrote. No word on if Elon saw the tweet but he has yet to respond.
Elon Musk already has some big plans ahead after acquiring Twitter. For one, he said that he plans on making Twitter private, which would impede any plans Meek has to invest in the company. Secondly, Elon Musk hinted at the idea of charging commercial and government users a slight fee for using the platform.
According to Rolling Stone, Musk did have a few investors who chipped in on the $44B acquisition quietly. An SEC filing revealed that this included the Saudi Royal family and some rich Trump supporters.

A couple from Marrero pleaded not guilty Friday in connection with a fatal shooting in the parking lot of a Brother's Food Mart that claimed the life of a Harvey man.
Kentrell Perkins, 18, was indicted on a second-degree murder charge for the death of 20-year-old Parnell Doris III. Perkins and his girlfriend, Ayanna Sims, 21, were also charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly tampering with evidence, court records show.
Although suspects have been identified, Doris' mother, Trezzle Landry, 39, said she doesn't know why anyone wanted to harm her son.
"He was loved by so many. Why would they do that to my baby?" she asked.
The shooting occurred about 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 13 at the Brother's location in the 3600 block of Lapalco Boulevard, Harvey, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Homicide Detective Steven Mehrtens said.
Doris was gunned down just moments after he parked at the business and stepped out of his vehicle. The store's video surveillance system captured the shooting, revealing that the gunfire came from the rear passenger seat of a gold sedan that was parked next to Doris' car, Mehrtens said.
Perkins was later identified as the gunman who'd been sitting in the rear passenger seat of that vehicle at the time of the shooting, according to authorities. Sims was sitting next to him.
Perkins and Sims were already at the store when Doris pulled up. They'd arrived earlier in the sedan with two other people, Mehrtens said.
Several minutes before the shooting, Perkins, Sims and the sedan's driver got out and made purchases from the business. Investigators used video from inside the store to help identify Perkins, according to Mehrtens.
"At one point during the footage in the store, [Perkins] actually looks up at the camera and is smiling," he said.
The trio returned to the sedan, with Perkins taking the back passenger seat, authorities said. They were still sitting in the parking lot when Doris pulled into a space next to their vehicle.
The shooting occurred quickly with seemingly no interaction between Doris and his alleged killer, according to authorities.
"The driver of the second vehicle [Doris] exits, and he's immediately struck by gunfire and falls to the ground," Mehrtens said.
The video shows a gun's muzzle flash coming from the rear passenger seat, according to authorities. The sedan then fled from the parking lot as bystanders called 911.
Investigators eventually identified the sedan's owner as well as the occupants who'd been in the vehicle. The three occupants identified perkins as the gunman, Mehrtens said.
Perkins is accused of disposing of the murder weapon. Sims allegedly discussed how to get rid of the gun, according to authorities. She also is accused of helping her boyfriend alter his appearance by cutting his hair, Mehrtens said.
The couple was arrested Jan. 19 in New Orleans by the U.S. Marshals Service.
The Sheriff's Office did not release any details about a suspected motive in Doris' death. His mother said he worked as a music engineer and wasn't into any trouble.
"He was a lovable kid," Landry said. "All he wanted to do was travel the world and inspire people."
Doris' loss has been difficult for his friends and family.
"I can't smile anymore," Landry said.
But just as she taught her children to never harbor ill will, Landry said she doesn't wish any harm on the people accused of killing her son.
"I wish that they would fall on their knees and ask God to forgive them and that justice be served," she said.
Perkins and Sims were being held Friday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bond for Perkins was set at $750,000 while bond for Sim was set at $250,000. | https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_5993e800-cd82-11ec-bf0f-279417618676.html | 2022-05-07T00:26:07Z | https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_5993e800-cd82-11ec-bf0f-279417618676.html | true | 1 |

Mathieu van der Poel and Biniam Girmay are so strong their rivals are literally falling over trying to follow them.
On an opening day of the Giro where much of the pre-stage debate surrounded the likelihood of the sprinters’ ability to get up the final climb, the race’s first maglia rosa was still contested by three of the peloton’s fastest finishers.
Ad
Mark Cavendish had checked himself out of contention long before the road to the castle at Visegrad tilted up to its maximum eight percent; Arnaud Demare, for all his Poggio prowess, did not go the distance, while Fernando Gaviria was one of the last to let the elastic snap.
Giro d'Italia
'That's bizarre!' - Shock as Van der Poel fires Prosecco cork into his face on podium
But after the thrills and spills that saw both Lawrence Naesen and Lennard Kamna try gutsy long-range attacks, and Cavendish’s Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team-mate Davide Ballerini crash out of the reckoning, came the moment that, in retrospect, seemed utterly inescapable.
Spoiler: it didn’t include Mathieu van der Poel. Or if it did, none of us could see him – perhaps on account of that olive green camouflage jersey, which worked a treat as Alpecin-Fenix’s main man ghosted past his fading colleagues, biding his time and keeping his powder dry until the last possible moment.
- Van der Poel grabs thrilling Stage 1 victory at Giro as Ewan crashes in final dash
- Giro d’Italia – Stage 1 as it happened: Van der Poel times it right
'It is incredible!' - Van der Poel overjoyed and exhausted after Stage 1 win at Giro
No, the slap in the face came when Girmay and Ewan found themselves on the front inside the last few hundred metres and it all dawned on us that, of course, the in-form Eritrean and his pocket-rocket Australian counterpart had the uphill armoury to last the course.
When they struck out for the line, Van der Poel was forced to give up his back seat and to react. The 27-year-old Dutchman won on a similar slope at Mur de Bretagne in his debut Tour de France last year on his way to a maiden maillot jaune. But he did so from the front, having already taken bonus seconds on the first ascent of the climb.
This time, Van der Poel came from behind with all the venom of a rider who earlier this spring added a second Tour of Flanders triumph to his name. It was somewhat fitting that the man he needed to beat to ensure the win was another rider who had enjoyed something of a flourishing spring: Girmay, whose victory at Gent-Wevelgem was a first ever for an African in a cobbled classic.
'It was a really hard finish but I'm happy' - Girmay on second place on Giro Stage 1
Van der Poel and Girmay are both making their debuts at the Giro but treated their Corsa Rosa curtain-raiser as if they were old hands at this game. Relatively speaking, Van der Poel is an old hand – his eventful week in France last July filled with more experiences than some achieve in an entire career. That perhaps makes what Girmay did out there under the Hungarian sun all the more impressive – for this was his first roll of the Grand Tour dice, at an age considerably younger than his counterpart, with a result far more impressive than Van der Poel’s own 20th place finish in the opening stage of the 2021 Tour.
For a brief moment it looked like the 22-year-old Eritrean had written himself another fine chapter in his meteoric rise; another historic moment for African cycling, and a feel-good result to be savoured by all. Victory and the pink jersey at the first time of asking would have been a fitting reward for a rider whose presence we will surely see atop the podium over the next couple of weeks.
But for all Girmay’s grit, Van der Poel is from another planet. Like Taylor Swift, the indefatigable Dutchman has a knack of delivering hit after hit; like Tyson Fury, no one can knock him down; like Midas, whatever he touches turns to gold – or, at least, turns to whatever colour the relevant race represents. So, after delivering the yellow jersey that always eluded his grandfather Raymond Poulidor, it was only natural that Van der Poel should become Van der Pink.

'Bizarre' moment Van der Poel fires Prosecco cork into his face after Giro victory
Of course, it was harder than simply deciding he’d like to change jerseys. As Van der Poel admitted afterwards, he found himself boxed in on the final climb and needed to dig deep to fight back into contention. But where other riders would have thrown in the towel, Van der Poel – by far the most talented all-round rider of his or any generation in the current pro peloton – found what he needed to deny what would have been an equally deserved victory for Girmay.
The two were head and shoulders above the others – so much so that Ewan, who had done admirably to stay in contention on the climb, made the rookie mistake of touching his front wheel to the back wheel of Girmay with the finish line gaping. The Australian hit the deck hard but will live to contest another day.
At this point it’s worth noting that this is not the first time Ewan has ended up in a heap on the finishing straight after a freak accident. Something similar happened in Stage 3 of the Tour last year, ending his race and with it his plans to ride all three Grand Tours in 2021.

That latest DNF meant the Lotto Soudal sprinter has only finished two of his eight Grand Tours to date. And he won’t finish this one, either. He said as much: Ewan aims to pack his bags and concentrate on his preparation for the Tour once he’s picked up a win or two. There’s no shame in that. But you sense both Van der Poel and Girmay will stick things out a little longer at this Giro. One of them may even bring home the maglia ciclamino. But for now, it’s not purple that adorns their respective jerseys.
Van der Poel’s latest triumph means his Alpecin-Fenix team have now won the opening sprint of the previous four Grand Tours: after Tim Merlier’s Giro-Tour double, fellow Belgian Jasper Philipsen kept the run going at the 2021 Vuelta. If it’s amazing that Van der Poel was not part of that run previously, it’s somewhat inexorable that he is now.
Stars of the spring, Van der Poel and Girmay, in pink and white, are on course to become stars of this early summer, too. And we’ve yet to even touch foot on Italian soil.

‘UNDOUBTEDLY SAVED LIVES’: North Carolina trooper uses his own car to stop suspected drunk driver
NewYou can listen to the Gadget Clock article now!
A North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper is being credited with saving a life by putting his life on the line to prevent a suspected drunk driver from entering an interstate misdirection.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol said Trooper Cody Thao used his own patrol car as a barrier to stop the driver who increased the speed of the exit ramp in the wrong direction. The dramatic accident was captured on dashcam video.
NC rollercoaster riders stuck in the middle for half an hour: ‘Big deal when you just face the ground’
Police said that on the morning of April 8, Trooper Thao was called in to assist in an operation. As soon as the troops arrived, the pursuit moved to the I-40 Eastbound ramp on Rock Quarry Road in Wake County. The suspect started driving in the wrong direction on the ramp.
The video shows Trooper Thao deliberately driving his own car in the direction of the suspected drunk driver to prevent him from entering the interstate in the wrong way. Surprisingly, the army was not injured.
Col. Freddie L. Johnson Jr., commander of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, said, “I can’t be proud of the quick decision to stop Trp. Thao and his misguided driver. His actions undoubtedly saved lives.” The statement said, “Representing the life-saving work that our members do every day, they are willing to take risks. Putting others before themselves is not just a matter of law enforcement, it is a reality of what we do for the betterment of the communities.”
Trooper Thao told Fox 12 that he did not even think about how he could be seriously injured.
“Once I saw the car, I decided to stop right there,” Thao said. “This is exactly what we have agreed to do.”
He added, “All the credit goes to the other soldiers who inspire me every day, especially here in Wake County.”
North Carolina parents angry over school ‘devil club’
Thao has been with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol for less than a year.
“Before, I was actually working on a tractor supply,” he said. “I have no previous experience in law enforcement. I have always had the heart of a servant and I have always wanted to help people.”
The suspect, Joshua Ray Vive, 26, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

HONOLULU (AP) — There are currently 71 people statewide hospitalized with COVID-19, including five in intensive care units. Less than a month ago, there were no coronavirus cases in intensive care, Hawaii News Now reported.
Hilton Raethel, CEO of the Healthcare Association of Hawaii, said cases are rising more slowly now than earlier in the pandemic and are manageable.
“However, we don’t know how high these numbers are going to go. If we get to 100 patients in our hospitals, that will start to cause more concern,” he said.
About 30% of Hawaii hospital patients had COVID-19 during the pandemic’s delta and omicron surges. Right now, that number stands at about 3%.
The state Department of Health said Hawaii had a seven-day average of 515 new cases as of Monday, up from 435 the previous week. The figure doesn't include those who tested positive using at-home tests but still shows a steady rise in infections over the past few weeks.
Hawaii public health officials are encouraging people to wear their masks indoors and when they can't keep their distance from others not in their household. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/71-COVID-patients-in-Hawaii-hospitals-considered-17155669.php | 2022-05-07T01:07:01Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/71-COVID-patients-in-Hawaii-hospitals-considered-17155669.php | true | 10 |

A look at what's happening around the majors on Saturday:
___
A LUCKY NON-BREAK
The Twins avoided a daunting injury when it was determined star shortstop Carlos Correa's right middle finger is not broken as was initially feared after he was hit by a pitch Thursday.
“Thank you Lord,” Correa tweeted.
Correa will be evaluated day to day, and he won’t have to go on the injured list.
For now, top prospect Royce Lewis will replace Correa. Lewis was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to make his major league debut at home against Oakland, filling the roster spot of infielder Luis Arraez, who was put on the COVID-19 list.
After a slow start at the plate in his first season with Minnesota, Correa was hitting .412 (14 for 34) with eight RBIs in his last eight games for the AL Central leaders.
Correa signed a three-year, $105.3 million contract with the Twins that comes with an opt-out clause after this season and next. He has provided instant leadership and a steady presence at shortstop where he won the 2021 AL Gold Glove Award.
TO THE SHOWERS
A day after six games were rained out, the weather could still cause scheduling problems in some places this weekend.
The Royals-Orioles in Baltimore and Rangers-Yankees in New York were called off and set to be made up Sunday as part of doubleheaders. But rain is the forecast for both places Saturday and could make it tough to play the entire series.
The Blue Jays-Guardians in Cleveland and Dodgers-Cubs at Wrigley Field are scheduled for split doubleheaders Saturday. It's supposed to be clear and chilly in those cities for the twinbills. This will be the third doubleheader of the season for José Ramírez and the Guardians at Progressive Field.
There's no rush to make up the Mets-Phillies in Philadelphia because they play each other plenty. They'll catch up with a doubleheader in August at Citizens Bank Park.
NL Central rivals Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were postponed at Great American Ball Park and will make up the game in July.
PITCHING A SHUTOUT
Blue Jays newcomer Kevin Gausman tries to keep a zero in two key categories when he pitches at Cleveland in the first game of a doubleheader.
Gausman hasn't allowed a walk or home run in five starts this season. He's 2-1 with 2.27 ERA through 31 2/3 innings so far.
Former AL Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber (1-1, 2.45) opposes Gausman in the opener.
CEASE AND EXIST
White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.48 ERA) looks to follow up his splendid start earlier this week when he pitches at Fenway Park.
Cease struck out 11 while allowing only one hit in seven shutout innings in his last start Monday against the Angels.
Struggling righty Nick Pivetta (0-4, 7.84) is set to go for Boston.

The 2020 Ferrari Challenge Asia-Pacific race series commences once again, this time kicking off from the iconic Bahrain International Circuit from 5th-7th March 2020. The Ferrari Challenge is open to Ferrari drivers from all over the world, who are divided into three classes; the Trofeo Pirelli AM, Coppa Shell and the Coppa Shell AM, split according to their experience and driving level. This year, participants seen in action will race in the latest 488 Challenge EVO, which made its debut during the Ferrari Finali Mondiali in October 2019 at the Mugello Circuit. Three years after the presentation of the 488 Challenge, the Prancing Horse has developed a kit that increases the car’s overall performance and its consistency in race conditions, and also improves the handling for even better feedback and driving pleasure. The 488 Challenge EVO is the eighth car used in the one-make series after the 348 TB/TS used between (1993-1996); the F355 Challenge (1995-2001); the 360 Challenge (2000-2006); the F430 Challenge (2006-2011); the 458 Challenge (2011-2013); the 458 Challenge EVO (2014-2017) and the 488 Challenge (2018 – 2019). The field of drivers harnessed the power of their 488 Challenge EVO cars on the F1 track to full effect in a breathtaking display of Ferrari’s sporting heritage. Yudai Uchida (Rosso Scuderia), Kazuyuki Yamaguchi (Cornes Osaka) and Baby Kei (Cornes Osaka) dominated their respective classes on the first day of Round 1 of the 2020 Ferrari Challenge APAC series in the beautiful setting of Bahrain International Circuit. On the second day, Ernst Kirchmayr (Baron Racing) took the Trofeo Pirelli AM classification despite the fierce battle within the field, while Yamaguchi and Kei repeated their wins from Race 1 in their respective classifications.
Trofeo Pirelli AM. The battle for victory in Race 1 was an all-Japanese affair. Pole-sitter Uchida streaked across the finish line in first place following an assured performance, with Go Max (M Auto Hiroshima) holding a safe second place until the checkered flag The duel for third animated the whole race, with a fierce battle between Nobuhiro Imada (Rosso Scuderia), Kirchmayr and Yosuke Yamazaki (BUZZ), the trio switching places lap after lap. Kirchmayr managed to overtake Yamazaki and Imada with three laps to go, but his chances for a podium were ended by a spin at Turn 12. Imada made the most of it, crossing the line ahead of Yamazaki to take the last step on the podium. In Race 2, Uchida, victor of day one, entered the race keen to maintain his winning streak. However, the eventual champion was Kirchmayr, who seized the opportunity to go ahead when a contact between Uchida and Max put the leader out of contention, Max never recovering from the consequent drive-through penalty. Imada and Yamazaki took the second and third positions respectively. Uchida tops the standings table with 25 points, followed closely by Imada with 23 points and Kirchmayr with 22 points. With these leaders being very close in the championship standings, the duel will probably last for the entire season.
Coppa Shell. In the Coppa Shell class there was an early leader: Jay Park (Forza Motor Korea), after a fantastic lap in qualifying, kept the lead at the start and seemed ready for his first win of the season. However, Yamaguchi kept up his relentless pursuit of Park throughout the race at an amazing pace. Then with 2 laps to go, Yamaguchi finally succeeded in overtaking Park to take first position. Park had to settle for second while Yanbin Xing (CTF Beijing) took the last step on the podium. Race 2 definitely saw Yamaguchi being crowned “driver of the weekend” as he doubled Friday’s win to leave Bahrain with a strong leadership in the championship. Besides winning in his class, his blistering performance also saw him coming in second overall in Race 2 with just 0.441 seconds off race winner Kirchmayr and beating other more experienced drivers in the Pirelli AM class. Yamaguchi is proving one to watch closely in subsequent races. Xing came in second while Park was third in Race 2. With both wins, Yamaguchi is first in the standings with 33 points, followed by Park with 25 points and Xing in third with 23 points.
Coppa Shell AM. Race 1 was quite a show right from the start in Coppa Shell AM. Kei who had a disappointing qualifying time that had him start at the back of his class, drove a blistering race that saw him come from the back to win the race, much to the delight of his supporters. Liangbo Yao and Yansheng Liang (both from CTF Beijing) took the second and third positions respectively. Kei’s success in qualifying first in his class for Race 2 must be attributed to his increased knowledge and experience of the track from Race 1. The final results in Race 2 were similar to Race 1. As a result, Kei tops the standings in his class with 32 points, followed by Yao with 28 points and Liang with 21 points.
Schedule. The next round of the Ferrari Challenge APAC series will be at Fuji, in Japan, from 24 – 26 April. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/an-exciting-weekend-in-bahrain-for-the-challenge-asia-pacific | 2022-05-07T01:11:17Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/an-exciting-weekend-in-bahrain-for-the-challenge-asia-pacific | false | 4 |

Jamie Clarke (Stratstone Manchester) finally got his hands on a first place trophy after four successive second place finishes, all of which have been behind Jason Baker (Dick Lovett Swindon). This time, though, it was Jamie on the top step of the podium after another action-packed race.
Trofeo Pirelli. Spectators at Croft were treated to a fantastic race, with action throughout the field from lights-to-flag. Jason Baker and Jamie Clarke began to pull away and continued their season-long duel, with Jamie staying within a second of Baker for the majority of the race. It looked to be a repeat of the previous four races, until the pair caught back-markers. Jason Baker tangled with Stuart Willson (Graypaul Nottingham) down at Clervaux, leaving Baker facing the wrong way. After fighting back through the field, Baker eventually came home in fifth place. The podium was concluded by Josh Kirkwood-Jones (H.R. Owen London) in second and Henry Simmons (Maranello Sales) finishing on the podium for the first time in third.
Coppa Shell. Once again the Coppa Shell lived up to expectations. Jamie Thwaites (JCT600 Brooklands Leeds) drove a perfect race and converted his pole into a first win, producing yet another new winner in the unbelievably competitive Coppa Shell class. The field behind Thwaites produced constant position changes and thrilling battles from start to finish, entertaining spectators with excellent, close racing for the duration of the race. Richard Guy (Charles Hurst) came home in second place, with Gary Redman (Graypaul Nottingham) completing the podium in third. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/maiden-win-for-clarke-at-croft | 2022-05-07T01:28:48Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/maiden-win-for-clarke-at-croft | true | 4 |

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli closed out the 2020 edition of Ferrari Racing Days with a thrilling pair of races on Sunday afternoon. Temperatures soared in the early afternoon as the sunny skies persisted to provide a gorgeous backdrop for Ferrari Challenge action.
Trofeo Pirelli. Cooper MacNeil (Ferrari of Westlake) completed another perfect day in Ferrari Challenge competition, earning pole position, fastest lap and the race win. While Cooper's win seemed like a foregone conclusion after he opened a seven second lead in the opening two-thirds of the race, was soon thrown into doubt by a late caution period. Ultimately, however, the American driver secured the win, leading home Martin Burrowes (Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale) and Ross Chouest (Boardwalk Ferrari) who finished second and third respectively.
Trofeo Pirelli AM. Dave Musial (Ferrari of Lake Forest) took the top step of the podium, making an impressive turn of speed throughout a tightly fought thirty minute contest. Brian Davis (Ferrari of Palm Beach) took second beating out Daytona star John Megrue (Ferrari of Long Island) who rounded out the podium with third.
Coppa Shell. Jason McCarthy (Wide World Ferrari) drove away from the Coppa Shell field, taking the win by nearly 18 seconds over his fellow rivals. Jim Booth (Ferrari of Atlanta) took second place and also the Gentleman's Cup trophy, also finishing well in front of the rest of the Coppa Shell category. Kevan Millstein (Ferrari of San Diego) rounded out the podium in third, just beating out a hard-charging Osvaldo Gaio (Miller Motorcar).
Coppa Shell AM. Michael Watt (Ferrari of Atlanta) took the win on the road, but was hit with a 30 second penalty for passing under a local yellow condition that existed for much of the race. He was not alone, five other drivers also incurred similar penalties for similar reasons, significantly shuffling the final finishing order. After it had all shaken out, Michael Quattlebaum (Ferrari of Houston) claimed the win, ahead of Todd Coleman (Ferrari of Denver) and John Cervini (Ferrari of Ontario) who finished second and third respectively.
Schedule. Ferrari Challenge will return to the track April 17 - 19 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for round 3 of the North American championship. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/racing-days-concludes-on-high-in-atlanta | 2022-05-07T01:33:17Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/racing-days-concludes-on-high-in-atlanta | true | 4 |

All-Star aces Max Scherzer, Shane Bieber and Gerrit Cole all got early showers Friday.
So did many other players after six games were rained out, the most Major League Baseball postponements in a day because of inclement weather since 2018.
Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium and Camden Yards were among the ballparks where games were wiped out. And there's no guarantee the rain will go away this weekend, either.
The last time there were a half-dozen games called off because of weather was April 15, 2018, when snow, sleet, wind and rain conspired to close ballparks. Those were the most since Sept. 12, 2008, when there also were six — Hurricane Ike battering the Gulf Coast contributed to those postponements.
Heavy rain in the East Coast and out in Ohio and Illinois dampened this weekend's schedule.
The rainouts: Kansas City at Baltimore, Texas at the New York Yankees, Toronto at Cleveland, Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago Cubs, New York Mets at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh at Cincinnati.
Teams playing division rivals pushed back makeup dates until late this summer, with the Pirates and Reds rescheduling for July and the Mets and Phillies until August.
Bieber and the Guardians will try to host Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays in a traditional doubleheader Saturday. Cleveland has had four home games called off by inclement weather this season and this will be its third doubleheader at Progressive Field.
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is expected to pitch Saturday in a split doubleheader against the Cubs. It's supposed to be clear but cool at Wrigley for those games.
The Royals-Orioles and Rangers-Yankees games are scheduled to be made up as part of doubleheaders Sunday. But it's still shaky on whether those two series will be played to completion — rain is in the forecast Saturday in Baltimore and New York.

With an authoritative one-two, Emanuele Maria Tabacchi sealed a perfect first weekend in the Trofeo Pirelli, laying the ground for a first attempt to break away in the standings. The Rossocorsa driver achieved a commanding win in Race-2 after the morning record pole position. It was an equally triumphant weekend for Matúš Vyboh, who also won twice at Imola in the Trofeo Pirelli Am. The Coppa Shell saw an unexpected triumph for Ernst Kirchmayr who took advantage of Grouwels' slowdown on the last lap when on the cusp of repeating Saturday's victory. In the Am category, Michael Simoncic pulled off his first one-two in the Challenge Europe.
Trofeo Pirelli. Emanuele Maria Tabacchi won the race and extended his lead in the overall standings, after his record-breaking pole in the morning. The reigning Trofeo Pirelli Am champion repeated Saturday’s performance, breaking away in the first few metres before managing his lead over his pursuers as they battled it out for second. In the end, Fabienne Wohlwend prevailed over Thomas Neubauer (Charles Pozzi - Courage) who had done well to pass her at the start. The Frenchman, overtaken by the Octane 126 driver on lap 9, defended third place against the attacks of Michelle Gatting (Niki Hasler) in the final stages. Tabacchi clocked the fastest lap of the race in 1:44.221. In the Trofeo Pirelli Am, Matúš Vyboh (Scuderia Praha) repeated his victory in Race-1, finishing ahead of Frederik Paulsen and Olivier Grotz. The Slovak driver, starting from pole, took advantage of the intense in-house struggle between the two Formula Racing drivers to cross the finish line unmolested. "AC" (Rossocorsa) took third place on the podium, followed by Roman Ziemian (Octane 126).
Coppa Shell. Ernst Kirchmayr (Baron Motorsport) celebrated his first win of the season in the Ferrari Challenge, after his second place in Race-1. The victory came in the final moments of the race when Roger Grouwels (Kroymans Automotive), who was heading for a one-two, slowed down dramatically, finishing in sixth overall and fourth in his class. Fons Scheltema (Kessel Racing) and Alex Sartingen (Lueg Sportivo) joined the Austrian driver on the podium. Michael Simoncic (Baron Motorsport) recorded a one-two in the Coppa Shell Am, continuing on from Saturday afternoon's performance. Laurent De Meeus (HR Owen) took his first podium of the year, crossing the line in second, while “Alex Fox” (SF Grand Est Mulhouse) in third, confirmed his competitivity after yesterday’s second place. Thomas Gostner, author of the pole position, didn’t start the race, as the team proved unable to repair the car damaged in an accident in qualifying, from which the driver emerged unhurt.
Rankings. The first round of the season also yielded the first championship rankings. In the Trofeo Pirelli, Tabacchi leads on 34 points, while in the Trofeo Pirelli Am Matúš Vyboh tops the standings on 33. The Coppa Shell leader is Ernst Kirchmayr on 28 points, while in the Coppa Shell Am Michael Simoncic is out in front on 35.
Next round. The Ferrari Challenge will be back on track in two weeks at the Barcelona circuit. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/tabacchi-and-kirchmayr-clean-up-at-imola | 2022-05-07T01:35:40Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/tabacchi-and-kirchmayr-clean-up-at-imola | true | 4 |
Imola 05 luglio 2020
Thomas Gostner, driver with the CDP – MP Racing team, tackling a ninth season in the Ferrari Challenge, chronicles how this weekend unfolded in Imola, where he featured among the top protagonists.
The Sunday qualifying session was certainly a particular one for Thomas Gostner: “My first outing on the track was a very positive one, even though the tyres weren’t quite ready for it. In fact, I was even able to establish a notable time which earned me pole position. On the second lap I was able to up the pace, but I overdid it – coming out of the Villeneuve Curve I started to lose control and wasn’t able to keep a grip on the car which then span off track.”
A bittersweet weekend, given that, in spite of the pole position claimed in Race-1, Gostner had to sit out the Saturday race after a mechanical issue. Then, this morning, after chalking up the fastest time in the second qualifying session, the driver from Alto Adige ended up putting the car out of action. “A really unlucky weekend, not just for me, but also for my daughter Corinna - she also had an accident in yesterday’s racing. But I guess that’s the way motorsport goes. We are well aware of that. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it goes against you”.
The optimism, however, wasn’t lacking: “I hope things get better next time, in fact I’m sure that’s the way it will turn out”.
The driver wrapped things up with a statement about the Imola circuit: “I love this racetrack, it’s one of my favourites. That’s why I just can’t wait to get back on the track here as soon as possible because it really is thrilling.” | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/thomas-gostners-ninth-symphony | 2022-05-07T01:38:09Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/corse-clienti/articles/thomas-gostners-ninth-symphony | true | 4 |

One of the founders of Woofin Palooza, which advertised itself as a pet rescue and adoption organization in Oregon’s Multnomah and Columbia counties, pleaded guilty Friday to scamming more than 280 customers by concealing that the animals up for adoption had medical and behavioral problems.
Tori Lynn Head, 26, pleaded guilty to two charges, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and dispensing animal drugs without proper labeling.
Head, who remains out of custody, will be sentenced Nov. 18 before U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez in federal court in Portland.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight said Woofin Palooza also collected more than $82,000 in “sham” adoption fees, claiming the fee was necessary to obtain the pets from boarders.
In fact, many of these animals were sick or suffered from behavioral issues, and required additional veterinary care costing more than $142,580, Knight said.
Head and others also required customers to pay more than $23,000 in spaying or neutering fees, claiming the business would reimburse those adopting the pets once the procedures were completed. Yet those reimbursements didn’t occur, according to the prosecutor.
Further, Head and others ordered drugs from Florida and Nebraska using fraudulent prescriptions, and obtained drugs that were prescribed to pets in Merced, California, according to the government.
Head and others mixed the drugs in bottles and did not disclose to customers what was really inside, mislabeling the bottles, Knight said.
The fraud occurred from December 2019 through January 2021.
Head also faces a separate criminal indictment carrying more than 200 animal abuse and neglect charges in Multnomah County Circuit Court, alleging Woofin Palooza inappropriately housed and confined more than 100 dogs and cats. The indictment in state court was filed in May against Head and fellow owner Samantha Miller, 52. Both have pleaded not guilty to the state charges.
Multnomah County Animal Services launched an investigation in the summer of 2020 after receiving complaints about the Portland business, which was located in the 2300 block of Northeast 82nd Avenue. The agency did an inspection on Aug. 1, 2020 and found dogs crowded together in dirty kennels and unsanitary conditions.
Miller has a federal civil suit pending against the county, arguing that the investigation of Woofin Palooza was motivated by a county animus towards the owners and that the business owners had committed no crimes.

(NEXSTAR) – More than 100 candy and chocolate products made by Strauss Israel and sold in the United States are now under recall, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Salmonella was found in both the production line and in liquid chocolate at the Israeli factory that made the affected items, according to the FDA news release.
The FDA warns that the items could be infected with salmonella, which can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. In infants, people 65 or older and people with weakened immune systems, salmonella may cause serious illness or even death.
Strauss Israel said the voluntary recall involves products sold in the kosher market across the country under the brand name Elite. The sweets were primarily distributed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California and Florida, but they were also sold straight to consumers via online vendors such as Amazon.com, Fresh Direct, Passover.com and all Retailer Online Sites.
The recall covers all U.S. product codes for the items, which include Elite Chocolate, Cakes, Wafers, Energy Grain Snacks, Energy Chocolate Rice Cakes, Chewing Gum and Toffee Candies.
Israeli health officials released a scathing report Sunday that accused the Strauss Group of a number of oversights and failures that may have contributed to the salmonella spread, according to the Times of Israel.
Among several issues that may have contributed to the salmonella danger, investigators said there had been an intrusion of pigeons into the facility, according to The Jerusalem Post. Strauss Israel acknowledged that the birds did enter a liquid chocolate factory toward the end of March, but said in a statement on their website that the production line itself wasn’t exposed and someone was “immediately” called to remove the pigeons. According to the report, no tests were done that might have linked bird droppings to the salmonella contamination.
The report also alleged the following infractions: making chocolate while the facility was undergoing maintenance, failing to employ a food safety manager after replacing the quality-control team last year and not following milk thawing and storage guidelines that help prevent salmonella contamination.
“We’ve never dealt with an event like this and it’s the biggest recall in Strauss history,” Strauss Group chairperson Ofra Strauss said at a press conference on April 28, the Times of Israel reports. “We will only open the factory when we are sure that everything is safe. I am the chairperson of the company and have been part of all the decisions over the past week. We have all been working hard throughout this week.”
As of Sunday, there were 21 possible salmonella cases in Israel that had links to Strauss Israel, according to the Health Ministry. No illnesses had been reported in the U.S. as of publishing time, the FDA reports.

In his farewell letter to shareholders last year, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced a new mission for his company: “Earth’s best employer and Earth’s safest place to work.” The company has since added these goals to its list of corporate values.
As the second largest employer in the United States (behind Walmart) and an employer of increasing scale in Canada and around the world, this declaration is good news. Amazon has the potential to positively impact the lives of over a million employees.
But the company still has a lot of work to do. Amazon has been dogged by negative reports about working for the organization, including gender and racial bias toward workers and “abusive mistreatment” by managers, an intensive pace of work leading to high incidence of worker injury and workers being underpaid.
If Amazon truly wants to be the “Earth’s best employer,” it needs to start by listening to its employees and prioritizing their needs.
Amazon’s anti-union history
So far, Amazon has vehemently opposed trade union recognition, engaging in union suppression practices, like resisting trade union recognition through coercion.
For example, Amazon has been holding mandatory meetings with workers and distributing written information in a bid to influence union votes and situating mailboxes for ballots in parking lots that are near security cameras. There have even been accusations of Amazon using former FBI agents to disrupt organizing efforts.
At the same time, Amazon employs union substitution practices to reduce the perceived need for a union among workers, such as raising wages in response to the campaigns for union recognition.
Amazon’s vehement opposition to trade unions reflects a view of organized labour known as the monopoly face of trade unions. Trade unions are understood to have a negative economic impact on companies by restricting the options available to management. Unions are believed to increase the wages and improve the terms and conditions of its members beyond levels that are economically beneficial for firms.
From another perspective, trade unions are the collective voice of workers and provide the company with economic value. For instance, without trade unions to give workers an effective voice, workers might leave their firms and take invaluable tacit knowledge with them — knowledge that is difficult and expensive, if not impossible to replace.
Unfortunately, employee retention isn’t a benefit that would sell trade union recognition to Amazon, where efforts have been made to encourage workers to leave the organization as their productivity diminishes and desire for better terms and conditions grow.
Benefits of trade unions
Employee retention aside, trade unions play an important role in identifying operational problems and forcing management to resolve them, rather than to seek cost effective and ultimately counterproductive “fixes.”
In this way, trade unions impose beneficial constraints on firms through which they constrain managerial activity. For instance, unions force management to invest, rather than reduce costs, for the long term benefit of the company and its workers.
The use of algorithmic management rather than human managers at Amazon means that there is limited human supervisory oversight and day-to-day managerial insight into operations. In this vacuum, trade unions provide an important means of ensuring effective and safe working practices to the benefit of employees and the company.
Whereas the impact of trade unions on productivity is mixed, the results are often positive, and rarely negative. It’s safe to say that they have an overall positive impact on productivity.
However, there is a value in Amazon engaging with workers through trade unions and collective voice that has less to do with its own competitive advantage and more to do with its broader symbolism.
Meaningful work
If Amazon provides its employees with a meaningful involvement in the organization and a voice at work, there are implications for the nature of work elsewhere.
Amazon is symbolic of success — what it does, other firms copy, a process known as mimetic isomorphism, where firms imitate the market leader in the hopes of replicating its success. Amazon could set an important precedent for other companies to follow and fundamentally change the nature of work in North American and beyond.
In a time of growing inequality, insecurity, vulnerability and destitution for many, coupled with worsening political turmoil and social unrest because of the ongoing pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Amazon can be a beacon of hope.
It has the financial resources and market dominance to be an employer of choice: a destination of aspiration, not degradation. In short, Amazon can become the Earth’s best employer, but this must involve democratizing the workplace, recognizing the legitimate right of employees to organize and cooperating with labour representatives. | https://theconversation.com/if-amazon-wants-to-be-the-earths-best-employer-it-needs-to-listen-to-employees-182016 | 2022-05-07T02:10:18Z | https://theconversation.com/if-amazon-wants-to-be-the-earths-best-employer-it-needs-to-listen-to-employees-182016 | false | 3 |

Carlos Alcaraz edges Rafael Nadal in Madrid quarterfinals
Article content
Rising teen Carlos Alcaraz upset one tennis legend on Friday and earned the right to face another on Saturday.
Alcaraz, seeded seventh, topped third-seeded Rafael Nadal 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 in an all-Spanish quarterfinal at the Mutua Madrid on Friday.
Next up for Alcaraz, who turned 19 on Thursday, is a semifinal against top-seeded Novak Djokovic. The Serb rolled past 12th-seeded Hubert Hurkacz of Poland 6-3, 6-4.
The Friday victory was history-making for Alcaraz, who became the first teen ever to register a clay-court win against Nadal. A year ago, when Alcaraz was ranked 120th in the world, he fell 6-1, 6-2 to Nadal in the second round at Madrid.

Speaking about the Friday result, Alcaraz said, “It means a lot to me. All the hard work that I put in every day pays off today. To beat Rafa, to beat the best player in history on clay, it means a lot to me.”
Even after Nadal dominated the second set to level the match, Alcaraz remained calm, recording the only service break of the final set in the fourth game. Alcaraz never faced a break point in the third set.
“When I lost the second set, I (just) thought that I was able to come back, to do my best, try everything on court, fight until the last ball,” Alcaraz said. “It was the key.”
Alcaraz had also lost to Nadal in the semifinals at Indian Wells, Calif., in March. He subsequently produced championship runs in Miami and Barcelona. Alcaraz and Djokovic have never faced off before.

Djokovic never faced a break point and won 81 percent of his first-serve points in a comfortable victory against Hurkacz.
“I was serving really well in the second set, I think that kept me alive,” said Djokovic, a three-time Madrid champion. “I was pleased with the way I was constructing points. I tried to make him run and miss and overall It was a solid performance.”
The other semifinal will feature second-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany and fourth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece.
Zverev topped eighth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada 6-3, 7-5, and Tsitsipas downed sixth-seeded Andrey Rublev of Russia 6-3, 2-6, 6-4.
When Tsitsipas served for the match in the final game, Rublev had two break points to pull even at 5-5, but Tsitsipas held on.
“It’s never easy playing him, and I really had to survive that last game with my best strength and give out my soul, pretty much, to finish it in such a good way,” Tsisipas said.

Kamloops man found guilty of sexually assaulting niece who was trying to immigrate to Canada
A Kamloops man has been convicted of sexually assaulting his niece while she was living with his family and working to become a Canadian citizen.
A jury found Nihal Maligaspe guilty Friday on two of three counts of sexual assault related to incidents that took place between 2002 and 2008.
Maligaspe, now 71, helped Dinushini Maligaspe emigrate from Sri Lanka and was one of her instructors at a local university where she studied nursing.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sharon Matthews lifted a publication ban in the case making it possible to share the victim's name.
During her testimony, Dinushini, now 40, had a trauma service dog by her side as she explained how he assaulted her up to 15 times a month before she moved out of his house in 2006.
Dinushini was bent over rocking back and forth as she heard the verdict.
Maligaspe was acquitted on a charge involving abuse that allegedly happened after his niece moved to Calgary.
Bail conditions include staying away from his niece unless they're both in court and surrendering his passport. He is also banned from having any foreign students living in his home.
Maligaspe is due back in court on May 16 when a date will be set for his sentencing. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/kamloops-man-found-guilty-sexually-020817197.html?src=rss | 2022-05-07T02:26:07Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/kamloops-man-found-guilty-sexually-020817197.html?src=rss | false | 2 |
MANILA, May 7 ― The son and namesake of the Philippines' late dictator Ferdinand Marcos is on track to win Monday's presidential poll, after a massive misinformation campaign whitewashed the family's past and smeared his main rival.
Leni Robredo, the incumbent vice president, is the last obstacle to the controversial clan achieving their goal of returning to the presidential palace they fled in disgrace in 1986 following a popular uprising.
Social media groups supporting Ferdinand Marcos Jr's bid for the top job have bombarded Filipinos with false and misleading posts about Robredo on platforms where they rank among the world's heaviest users.
A string of doctored photos and videos viewed tens of thousands of times have sought to portray Robredo, 57, as stupid, unfriendly towards voters, and a communist.
Dozens of other bogus claims targeting her have flooded social media.
Here are the five most shared posts debunked by AFP:
Bungled interview
Pro-Marcos accounts that have sought to discredit Robredo as unintelligent and cold-hearted have had a huge impact online.
A clip from an interview with a Filipino journalist back in December 2016 shows Robredo looking baffled by a question over allegations she cheated Marcos Jr.
Robredo came from behind to narrowly beat Marcos Jr for the Philippines vice presidency that year ― which he then spent five years trying in vain to overturn.
The clip was posted on Facebook on February 19, less than two weeks after the presidential election campaign season kicked off, and has been viewed more than 78,000 times.
Similar posts were uncovered by AFP Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and TikTok.
AFP fact checkers debunked the posts, reporting that portions of the original interview with news programme TV Patrol had been omitted.
Legal career
Before entering politics in 2013, Robredo worked as a lawyer for more than a decade representing battered women and poor farmers.
But a post on a pro-Marcos Facebook page in March quoted the Public Attorney's Office as saying she had “handled zero cases”.
It was shared hundreds of times by the account named “Bbm-Sara Around the World 2022” that has 24,500 followers.
“So that's why she has a clean record... literally no cases,” one user wrote.
The Facebook page features a manipulated header image of Marcos Jr and his running mate Sara Duterte wearing military hats, with a Philippine flag and cartoon-like images of a tiger and an eagle in the background.
The government's law office told AFP fact checkers it did not issue the statement.
'Secret husband'
Even Robredo's personal life has been the target of misinformation following the death of her husband.
Jesse Robredo, a respected cabinet member in former president Benigno Aquino's administration, died in a plane crash in 2012.
Since Robredo won the vice presidency in 2016, a photo has circulated in false posts claiming it shows her with a “secret first husband” who “also died in a mysterious plane crash”.
A Filipino couple living in the northern province of Pampanga told AFP fact checkers it was their wedding photo that was being shared.
“I wish people would respect other people's privacy,” husband Daniel Canlas said.
'Leaked ballot'
Marcos supporters have repeatedly accused Robredo of voter fraud since the 2016 vice presidential contest ― and even alleged that the national election agency was involved.
Pro-Marcos accounts claimed that a video posted on Facebook and TikTok showed a leaked ballot paper, which they said proved the Commission on Elections had cheated for Robredo.
The video was viewed more than a million times.
But a commission spokesman told AFP that the document, which was missing various features included on official election ballots, was only a sample.
Wrongly counted vote
After Filipinos living overseas began voting in April, a video showing a woman in Hong Kong complaining that her vote for Marcos Jr had been wrongly counted for Robredo went viral.
The clip was viewed tens of thousands of times on Facebook, but an AFP investigation found it had been doctored.
There was no mention of Robredo in the unedited version of the video, which had been circulating online since at least 2016.
The Commission on Elections told AFP it had not received complaints of wrongly counted votes during early overseas voting this year. ― AFP | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/05/07/pro-marcos-misinformation-targets-main-rival-in-philippine-polls/2057508 | 2022-05-07T02:27:17Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/05/07/pro-marcos-misinformation-targets-main-rival-in-philippine-polls/2057508 | false | 5 |

Police investigating possible connections to shootings near 7th Ave & Pima Rd
The family of a drive-by victim calls for justice on Friday afternoon. Police say they are investigating possible connections to other shootings in the same area.
Former sprint star Bruny Surin drew inspiration from Canadian athletes at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Canada climbed the podium 24 times in Tokyo to finish 11th in total medals, despite facing some of the tightest COVID-19 restrictions in prior months of any country competing. And the pandemic meant no fans were permitted in Tokyo. “The athletes really showed they’re resilient,” he said.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils shook up their assistant coaching ranks Wednesday, firing Mark Recchi while not renewing the contract of Alain Nasreddine.

Australian Goldfields Lithium Exploration Landsat Program
VANCOUVER, May 5, 2022 - Australian Goldfields Ltd. (the "Company") (CSE: AUGF) (OTC: GRXXF) (Frankfurt: G0A) is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Nortia Project (19 blocks totaling 5,510 hectares) and the Cuprite East (6,936 hectares) and Cuprite West (2,980 hectares) Projects, all located in Pilbara, Western Australia.
The Company has retained Perry Remote Sensing, LLC of Denver, Colorado, to conduct a digital satellite analysis program on the Nortia, Cuprite East and Cuprite West Projects. The intent of the program is to provide target information for a planned future ground program. The image analysis program will include mineral modelling of surface exposures that may indicate pegmatites, including lepidolite and other varieties of muscovite that often characterize pegmatites. This will be combined with high-spatial resolution (or Hi-Res) satellite imagery that can enhance exposed fault zones and dikes, which further may constrain locations and provide targets for the upcoming field program.
Mining History of The Pilbara Region
The Pilbara region has a recent history of lithium production, beginning in 2017 with Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) Wodgina Lithium Mine, which is among the world's largest hard rock lithium operations. Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) Pilgangoora lithium operation, and Global Lithium Resources Marble Bar Lithium Deposit, are also located in the Pilbara mining region.

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

So far the Maple Leafs and Lightning have each won a game, scored five+ goals, and ridden their special teams to wins.
Lightning coach Jon Cooper has said that he won’t be making any changes to the lineup that controlled the game on Wednesday night. The Maple Leafs are moving players around and in and out, including reuniting John Tavares and William Nylander. Ondřej Kaše is expected to play tonight, but didn’t participate in morning skate; Joey Anderson took his spot. It looks like Kyle Clifford and Wayne Simmonds are out on the road trip, Jason Spezza is making his playoff debut for 2022 as well.
In case you didn’t see the FTB headline on the front page, the Maple Leafs have removed Rasmus Sandin from IR and he could be close to playing? Maybe?
It won’t be a home crowd for the Leafs, but I’m sure lots of Leafs Nation will have made the trip south. Nothing better than a hockey game you can wear shorts to.

Health insurer Cigna Corp (CI.N) raised its annual adjusted profit forecast on Friday, following a decline in COVID-related costs and no sign of pent-up demand for medical procedures that were delayed due to the pandemic.
Shares of the company shot up nearly 5% to $263.7 in early trading, after it also reported first-quarter profit above estimates.
Health insurers came under pressure from volatile medical costs during the pandemic, but some of that was offset by people postponing non-urgent medical procedures.
“We are not seeing any acuity spikes or pent-up demand emerge for things like blood screenings, preventive exams, mammograms, colonoscopy,” Chief Financial Officer Brian Evanko said during a post-earnings call.
“Non-COVID shaping up very much in line with what we had been expecting this year.”
A drop in COVID testing and treatment costs also helped Cigna report a lower-than-expected medical care ratio (MCR), the amount spent on medical claims versus income from premiums.
Total medical customers of its health plans rose to 17.8 million in the quarter, boosted by growth in U.S. commercial membership.
“Cigna turned in better-than-anticipated operating results for Q1 that allowed management to boost its 2022 outlook a bit, primarily due to strength in its medical insurance operations where its commercial operations really shined for the first time since the pandemic began,” said Morningstar analyst Julie Utterback.
The company moderately raised its forecast for 2022 adjusted profit from operations to at least $22.60 per share, from a minimum of $22.40 per share expected earlier.
“Company offers attractive value, especially if COVID-related pressures continue to improve in 2022,” Oppenheimer analyst Michael Wiederhorn said in a note.
Excluding special items, Cigna’s income from operations was $6.01 per share, above analysts’ average estimate of $5.18, according to Refinitiv IBES data.

Up to Four New Directors to Join Board: Andrew W. Evans, H. Russell Frisby, Jr., Henry P. Linginfelter and Andrew J. Teno
Expands Strategic Transactions Committee
Company Continuing Expeditious Strategic Alternatives Process to Maximize Stockholder Value
LAS VEGAS, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SWX) ("Southwest Gas" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a settlement agreement (the "Agreement") with Carl Icahn ("Mr. Icahn") and his affiliated entities. Pursuant to the Agreement, at least three, and up to four, new directors will join the Southwest Gas Board of Directors (the "Board"). Following the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), the Board will continue the previously announced review of a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value including a sale of the Company, a separate sale of one or more of its business units and/or the spin-off of Centuri, which is expected to be tax-free to stockholders. Under the terms of the Agreement, the composition of the Board will be amended as follows:
- Mr. Icahn has the right to appoint at least three directors effective immediately following the Annual Meeting: Andrew W. Evans, H. Russell Frisby, Jr., and Henry P. Linginfelter.
- A fourth director (Andrew J. Teno, unless he is otherwise already appointed to the Board, in which case one of Mr. Evans, Mr. Frisby, Jr. or Mr. Linginfelter will be appointed instead) will join the Board in the event that the Company determines to not spin-off Centuri. The decision whether to spin-off Centuri will be made within 90 days after the date of the Agreement.
- Mr. Icahn may elect to have Mr. Teno replace one of the three new directors within 90 days after the date of the Agreement.
- Current Board members, Robert L. Boughner and Thomas A. Thomas, have resigned effective immediately following the Annual Meeting.
- Current Board member, José A. Cárdenas, will resign from the Board if and when a fourth new director joins the Board.
- Current Board member, E. Renae Conley, will be appointed as Chair of the Board following the Annual Meeting.
In a separate release issued today, the Company announced that the Southwest Gas Board has appointed Karen S. Haller, Executive Vice President, as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Ms. Haller succeeds John P. Hester, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hester has also resigned from the Board, effective immediately. Ms. Haller will be appointed to the Board, immediately following the Annual Meeting.
Following the changes in the composition of the Board, the Board will comprise 11 directors, 10 of whom will be independent.
"Acting as an independent Board, we heard the valuable feedback from our stockholders and determined our best course of action was to eliminate the uncertainty of a proxy contest so as to concentrate our focus on the strategic process," said incoming Chair of the Board Ms. Conley. "We intend to work with the new directors to maximize value for all stockholders. We commit to continued valuable engagement with our investors as we execute on our strategic plan."
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Board's Strategic Transactions Committee (the "Committee") will be expanded following the Annual Meeting to comprise six members: three current directors and Committee members, Anne Mariucci, Carlos Ruisanchez and Jane Lewis-Raymond, and three new directors, Mr. Evans, Mr. Frisby, and Mr. Linginfelter. If Mr. Teno joins the Board, he may replace one of the new Committee members at Mr. Icahn's discretion. Ms. Mariucci will continue to serve as Chair of the Committee.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Icahn will withdraw his slate of director nominees with respect to the Annual Meeting and vote in favor of the Company's nominees. The Company will amend the terms of its stockholder rights plan to increase the triggering percentage from 10% to 24.9%. In addition, Mr. Icahn will amend his $82.50 tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of Southwest Gas to extend the expiration date to the date that is 10 business days following the date of the amendment, and will purchase shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of that date, subject to a cap on his aggregate ownership of 24.9%. Mr. Icahn will not further extend or amend the tender offer.
The Agreement includes customary standstill and voting commitments that will extend until 30 days prior to the end of the advance notice period for the submission of director nominees in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In the event there is a definitive agreement for the sale of the entire Company or its natural gas utility, Southwest Gas Corporation, prior to that date, the standstill will extend until 30 days prior to the end of the advance notice period for the submission of director nominees in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
While the standstill is in effect, Mr. Icahn has agreed to vote all of his shares in favor of any Board-approved sale of the entire Company or its natural gas utility, Southwest Gas Corporation.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Icahn has withdrawn his litigation against the Company.

Singer Jewell Caples, who became known as the “First Lady of Death Row Records,” died Friday, according to a published report. She was 53.
Caples — who also went by Jewell Peyton, Ju-L, or more often simply Jewell — died at 5 a.m., according to Vibe, citing the former head of Death Row security Reggie Wright Jr.
No official cause of death was given.
Rapper and producer Daz Dillinger shared an emotional tribute on Instagram to his former Death Row labelmate.
“RIP, rest n peace, @iamjewellcaples.” Dillinger wrote in all caps, in a message punctuated by red-rose emoji.
“I’m sad. This really hurt but Jewell passes this morning. Wow Death Row for life. We gone miss yer classic music. Family over everything,” he added.
Earlier this year Caples posted a message on Instagram revealing a recent health scare that had almost taken her life.
“I was Hospitalized on March 2, 2022. Released on March 5, 2022 went home, 8lbs of fluid on my heart, lungs, and legs!” she wrote.
Breaking News
“Went back to hospital March 16th until Today March 21, 2022. I Almost Died!,” Caples continued, adding that God had reversed her and extended her some grace.
“And gave me more time with my Family and Friends! Thank you JESUS for saving my life again! GOD IS REAL!” she wrote.
The Chicago-native signed with Death Row Records in 1992, and went on to appear in albums by Dr. Dre (“The Chronic”) and Snoop Dogg (“Doggystyle”).
In 1994, her rendition of Shirley Brown’s “Woman to Woman” peaked at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at No. 16 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart.
In 2015, she self-published a memoir, which she co-wrote with Felicia St. Jean, titled “My Blood My Sweat My Tears.”
A review on Good Reads calls her life story “heartbreaking.”
“She never really made it in the industry cause she got screwed over by shady record deal after record deal, especially from Suge Knight. She also went through a tremendous amount of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse from men she was romantically involved with. Heartwrenching but a great story!,” the reviewer wrote. | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-jewell-caples-first-lady-death-row-records-dies-dr-dre-snoop-dogg-2pac-20220507-yfeuidnfjvbvrbnubrscqzgs5q-story.html | 2022-05-07T02:38:22Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-jewell-caples-first-lady-death-row-records-dies-dr-dre-snoop-dogg-2pac-20220507-yfeuidnfjvbvrbnubrscqzgs5q-story.html | false | 1 |

David Bennett Sr.—the first-ever recipient of genetically modified pig heart — died a few weeks ago after receiving the heart back in January.
Now, researchers have an idea as to why.
via Complex:
The 57-year-old Maryland man underwent the experimental surgery back in January, after he was deemed a bad candidate for a human heart transplant or artificial heart pump. During the procedure, doctors noticed Bennett’s aorta was beginning to come apart, so they implanted a graft and stent to prevent further complications. Other than the artery incident, the surgery was initially deemed a success; however, Bennett began experiencing severe health problems just weeks after surgery.
According to USA Today, the man’s recovery was far from smooth. Doctors reportedly had to perform not one, but two surgeries on his abdomen to treat an intestinal infection. He was later prescribed a mix of antibiotics, antiviral medication, and an immune-boosting treatment, but he ultimately died in March after his pig heart became swollen with fluid and stopped functioning.
On Thursday, researchers confirmed they had found an animal virus harbored inside the pig heart Bennett had been carrying for months. It’s unclear if the virus—called porcine cytomegalovirus—was the cause of Bennett’s death, as they found no signs that the organ had caused active infection in the patient. Doctors also said there were no signs that the pig organ was being rejected by Bennett’s body.
Researchers say the pig that provided the heart was considered healthy, and was subjected to a variety of tests ordered by the Food and Drug administration. Revivicor, the biotech company that raised the animal, has not commented.
“What was the virus doing, if anything, that might have caused the swelling in his heart?” said Dr. Bartley Griffith, the surgeon who performed the historic transplant. “Honestly we don’t know.”
You would think that heart would’ve been examined throughly before being put inside of a whole human — but obviously not. | https://www.lovebscott.com/researchers-found-animal-virus-pig-heart-transplanted-man-eventually-died | 2022-05-07T02:41:05Z | https://www.lovebscott.com/researchers-found-animal-virus-pig-heart-transplanted-man-eventually-died | true | 1 |
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.

Natural digestive aid for cattle is made from a red seaweed proven in trials to reduce enteric methane emissions by more than 80%
SAN DIEGO and KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Ocean Barns announced today that the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has authorized commercial use of the company's seaweed-based supplement as a digestive aid for cattle.
The decision followed a highly successful trial at Straus Organic Dairy Farm in Marin County, the largest and longest yet conducted with seaweed and dairy cows. CDFA's Safe Animal Feed Education Program provided technical assistance, feed sampling, and analysis during the trial.
Brominata is a variety of red seaweed proven in published scientific trials to promote higher energy yield from the digestion of hay and grasses and to reduce cows' methane emissions by 80% or more. The livestock industry has long needed a feed additive to reduce the wasted energy that cattle naturally burp into the atmosphere. Over the past four years, multiple studies by major universities have shown that the supplement is safe for cows and doesn't change the chemistry or taste of milk or meat.
Following the Straus trial, Blue Ocean Barns' independent conclusion that the product is Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS) was reviewed by California's Commercial Feed Regulatory Program and Livestock Drug Program. Those two programs have regulatory oversight and authority over all commercial livestock feeds and livestock drugs/remedies sold within or into the state. CDFA issued a "No Objections Letter" and granted provisional certificates of registration for both the certified organic and nonorganic formulations of Brominata, approving both labels under the state's Livestock Drug Program.
Animal scientists for decades have tested a number of feed additives — garlic, lemongrass, as well as synthetic ingredients — aimed at reducing methane outputs from cow burps. Those emissions account for about 4% of all greenhouse gas produced globally each year. But none of those other supplements reduced nearly the amount of greenhouse gas as the red seaweed called Asparagopsis taxiformis; still, that seaweed has never been cultivated at scale despite the need to feed the supplement to nearly 100 million cows in the U.S. and about 1.5 billion worldwide. Blue Ocean Barns solved the problem of growing at scale and began ramping up production on a commercial level beginning in 2020 to serve Straus Family Creamery and other farm families throughout the state.

Chiropractic Expert Dr. Mary Negri, D.C: Chiropractic Care and Relief of Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic Care and Relief of Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a very shallow ball and socket joint which makes it naturally unstable and depends heavily on muscular support. The rotator cuff is the name of the most important group of muscles giving support and stability allowing the shoulder to function through a wide range of motion. This motion of the joint allows us to perform an amazing variety of tasks with our arms.
The muscles along with tendons and ligaments around the joint can get inflamed, stretch, and tear causing pain in the joint along with limited range of motion leading to tendonitis, bursitis and even frozen shoulder. This can also lead to problem in the neck and upper back. Chiropractic care is commonly sought by people for issues of the spine, including back and neck pain. Chiropractors are not limited to only care of the spine but are trained to treat shoulder issues along with other joints including wrists, ankles and feet. Shoulder pain can be caused by joint irritation and chiropractic relief for shoulder pain can be achieved through manipulation of the shoulder and use of modalities.
In my office we incorporate Massage along with modalities such as ultrasound, electric stimulation and even Laser therapy. These along with adjustment can improve joint motion and coordination, relieve joint pain and discomfort, improve flexibility and decrease inflammation. Specific orthopedic tests help to diagnose the problem and isolate the muscles of the shoulder joint that are affected. X/rays and MRI can also be helpful if needed. Chiropractic is a great non-surgical treatment for relief of shoulder pain and dysfunction.

Embiid returns from injury, 76ers beat Heat 99-79 in Game 3
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA – Joel Embiid inspired the 76ers with his return from a facial injury, Danny Green and Tyrese Maxey each scored 21 points and Philadelphia beat the Miami Heat 99-79 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Friday night.
Wearing a black mask, Embiid had 18 points and 11 rebounds after missing the first two games of the series.
Jimmy Butler scored 33 points for the Heat, who lead the series 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia.
Embiid sat out the first two games with a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion suffered in the last round. Embiid wasn’t the dominant force he was throughout the season. With Green, Maxey and James Harden all crushing Heat rallies with big buckets, Embiid didn’t have to carry the Sixers.
But the 76ers sure were glad he was back.
“Any plan where you can have Joel as part of the plan is a much better plan,” coach Doc Rivers said before the game.
Even Rivers couldn’t draw up a plan that included the play that helped put away the game: Maxey made a full-court sprint to save a basketball with an over-the-shoulder toss. The 76ers kept the ball and Embiid buried a fallaway bucket and sank the free throw for an 86-74 lead.
Embiid was good. Green was better. Green buried made 6 of 7 3-pointers through three quarters, highlighted by ones that snuffed Miami runs and stretched the Sixers’ lead to 54-50 and 57-51. Green missed 9 of 10 3s in Game 2.
Tyler Herro, though, had two critical 3s of his own in the final minute and pulled the Heat to 68-65 to close the third. He had 14 and joined Butler as the only Heat in double digits.
Maxey's last 3-pointer made it 92-77, and, suddenly, the Sixers have new life in the series.
The 76ers have never won a playoff series in 19 tries after losing the first two games.
The NBA scoring champ’s return kind of helps those odds.
Embiid’s status was upgraded from out to doubtful leading into the game, and Philly was buzzing the big man would play. When he jogged out for warmups wearing the mask, Sixers fans erupted and started the “MVP! MVP!” chants that are a staple at the arena. When Sixers public address announcer Matt Cord announced “there are no injuries” on the pregame report, Sixers fans went wild. Embiid easily heard the loudest ovation during lineup introductions and the Sixers were energized by his presence. It was hard to tell at times Embiid had missed so much time.
“Because of the concussion stuff, he couldn’t do anything,” Rivers said. “So he’s not been able to run and doing other stuff that all of us great athletes would be doing.”
Embiid is still playing with a right thumb ligament injury that will require offseason surgery. Embiid -- who led the 76ers with 30.6 points and 11.7 rebounds this season -- effected Game 3 just by his presence. Miami All-Star center Bam Adebayo, who scored 24 points in Game 1 and 23 in Game 2, was held to just five in the first half.
Harden even shone with 15 points in the half after games of 16 and 20 points in the series. He finished with 17.
TESTY, TESTY
P.J. Tucker jawed at Matisse Thybulle and double technicals were called in the fourth. Tucker elbowed Thybulle to start the commotion.
TIP-INS
Heat: G Kyle Lowry started for the Heat after he missed four straight playoff games with a strained left hamstring. The Heat went 4-0 without the former Villanova star.
76ers: Green had his 11th career playoff game with at least five threes. ... The Heat’s 34 points were the second-fewest they scored in a first half this season. The Heat scored 33 on Nov. 21 against Boston. ... Seth Curry, traded to Brooklyn in the Harden trade, sat courtside. He’s also Rivers’ son-in-law. ... Maxey was scoreless in the first half.

Eight Ultimatums later! The first season of The Ultimatum made waves when it premiered, but did the bold premise work for any of the couples?
The Netflix show followed eight duos on the brink of an engagement. After an Ultimatum is issued by one person in the relationship, they begin a trial marriage with one of their costars, living with a new partner of their choice from the show for three weeks. At the end of the three-week period, they move in with their original significant other and must decide whether they want to stay together and get engaged, leave solo or pursue things with their trial marriage partner.
Madlyn Ballatori and Colby Kissinger were one of the only couples in which the man gave the Ultimatum. Fans were shocked when the twosome not only got engaged in the April 2022 finale but also tied the knot moments later.
“At the end of filming, we talked everything out. I mean, every single detail we’re, like, ‘We are married, there can be no secrets,’” Madlyn told Us Weekly in March 2022. “So I don’t know if we were really surprised by anything [watching it back]. I guess we were more surprised by, like, what was chosen to be left in verses left out. It was better than we expected, honestly.”
Colby told Us that he was always planning to give Madlyn the chance to get married moments after he proposed if she said yes.
“Once I knew I was committed in [the] engagement, I knew I was ready for the next big thing, which was marriage and, like, wasting another beat when you got it right there on the biggest stage? Why not take advantage of the opportunity?” he said to Us. “And I figure since she said yes to the engagement, why not say yes to the marriage.”
Madlyn added that she didn’t have any hesitations.
“I knew that going into it, if I was gonna say yes to the proposal, I’ve gotta be ready to fully give it all,” she explained. “I think you saw I was kind of, like, ‘What the heck, let’s do it.’ I never wanted a big wedding anyways.”
The duo haven’t wasted any time taking the next step, either. Madlyn confirmed via social media in May 2022 that they welcomed a baby girl.

Two missing defensive standouts could light the fuse for backcourt fireworks when the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors continue their Western Conference semifinals series with Game 3 on Saturday night at San Francisco.
Two days after missing a buzzer-beating layup that could have won Game 1, Ja Morant took over to draw the Grizzlies even 1-1 in the best-of-seven series with a 47-point explosion in a 106-101 home win in Game 2 on Tuesday.
More double-team and trap looks from the Warriors are “on the menu” for Morant, Golden State coach Steve Kerr said Friday.
The Warriors are shifting the rotation out of necessity. That’s because Game 2 featured an ugly incident in the third minute when the Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks leveled Golden State’s Gary Payton II from behind on a break-away attempt, sending the guard crashing to the court and fracturing his left elbow.
Payton has been ruled out for the rest of the series and could miss three weeks.
The NBA issued Brooks a one-game suspension on top of the ejection he received after the play.
Brooks will sit out Game 3, when Golden State will attempt to shake off one of the worst 3-point shooting efforts in its postseason history. Memphis will try to use its superior size to gain a rebounding advantage for the first time in the series.
“We understand what we need to do,” Warriors star Stephen Curry said in the wake of a 3-of-11 shooting effort from 3-point range in Game 2.
Teammate Klay Thompson was even worse from distance, going 2 of 12 on 3-pointers, as Golden State misfired on 31 of 38 tries, producing its worst percentage (18.4) in a playoff game since going 3 of 17 (17.6 percent) against the Los Angeles Lakers in May of 1991.
“We’ve been in a lot of different series that’s taken a lot of twists and turns,” Curry said. “Lot of adversity, a lot of adrenaline and emotion. We’ve just got to win four games somehow, some way.”
Payton had been a surprise starter in the first two games of the series after coming off the bench in all five games of Golden State’s opening-round triumph over the Denver Nuggets. Now the Warriors have to rely heavily on Andrew Wiggins and Thompson in their effort to slow down Morant.
Andre Iguodala, another Golden State defensive standout, also will miss the game, as well as Game 4 on Monday, with a neck injury.
Morant scored Memphis’ final 15 points in Tuesday’s win in a stretch that began with the Grizzlies down 95-91 with 4:33 remaining and staring at a second straight series-opening defeat.
He scored mostly on drives and free throws, but also connected on his fifth 3-pointer of the game, one more than he had in Memphis’ six-game win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round.
Morant also found time for eight rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a second straight game in which the Warriors earned an advantage on the boards. It was 52-47 in Game 1 and 52-49 in Game 2.
The Grizzlies could get big man Steven Adams back for Game 3 after he was released from the NBA’s health and safety protocols. He could cut into the minutes void created by Brooks’ suspension.
“It’s going to be even more of a grind,” Memphis’ De’Anthony Melton said of the ongoing series. “It’s going to take mental focus and physical focus even more. We’ve played without guys before. We just have to go in and continue to play hard and play our game.”

Which computer monitor with a camera is best?
Remote work got a huge boost during the global pandemic, and many people have realized that it can be beneficial to continue working from home or other distant locations. Just because you are out of the office doesn’t mean that the video calls or online meetings stopped.
You could use your mobile phone’s camera for video conferences, but that presents challenges. If you work on a desktop computer or a laptop, the best solution is to get a monitor with a webcam built into the frame. The Dell 27-Inch 75-Hertz Video Conferencing Monitor is a good option, as it has a high-resolution camera with additional privacy features.
What to know before you buy a computer monitor with a camera
The monitor’s size
A computer monitor, whether you are using it for work or video games, must be the appropriate size for your activities. Too small a display, and you won’t see any details clearly. On the other hand, a monitor that’s too large will take up more space than necessary. A good size for a monitor, especially if you buy it for the built-in camera, is 24 to 27 inches.
Multiple connection methods
In the early days of computers, most had one standard connection method. But today, there are many ways to connect your monitor to your PC, and you may want to use the monitor with different computers. Therefore, it will be beneficial if the monitor incorporates the various connection types, such as HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA.
And before you buy a monitor, check which connection methods your PC’s graphics card supports or what is available on your laptop.
The camera is for more than just meetings
You might be looking at a built-in camera for video conferencing or online meetings, but it can be used for much more. If your camera’s resolution is high enough, you can also record your own video on it, or create content for YouTube without having an expensive vlogging setup.
What to look for in a quality computer monitor with a camera
High-resolution camera
If you buy a monitor specifically for the camera, you must ensure that it is of good quality. There is no point in spending hundreds of dollars on it otherwise. A good-quality camera in a monitor should, at a bare minimum, be full HD with a resolution of 1080p. Also, keep in mind that a higher resolution requires a faster internet connection, as the transmission data is larger. With most camera software it is possible to limit the broadcasting resolution.
Tilting and swivel features
All humans are different, so hardly anyone is perfectly framed the first time they sit in front of the camera. You can make adjustments to the monitor for a better viewing angle, but to get the framing right, the camera must also be adjustable. So, a good-quality built-in camera can tilt up and down and swivel from side to side. This comes in handy when your seating arrangements change.
Built-in speakers
You probably want to look your best when sitting down for an online meeting, but bulky headphones can quickly ruin your style. To get around that, a good-quality monitor has built-in speakers so you don’t need to use headphones or earbuds. You don’t need to worry about reverb, though, as the monitors are engineered to listen for your voice and temporarily mute the speakers to prevent feedback.
How much you can expect to spend on a computer monitor with a camera
The price depends largely on the monitor’s size and the camera’s capabilities. A small monitor with a lower-quality webcam costs $100-$150, while a large monitor with a high-definition camera retails for $200-$300.
Computer monitor with camera FAQ
Do the cameras have privacy features?
A. Some do. For example, some have a slider that closes the lens, while others only pop out when you are in an active call.
Is there any difference between a regular monitor and one with a camera?
A. No, they are essentially the same device and are used just like a regular monitor. The only difference is that one has a camera built in and the other doesn’t.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the playoff series Friday against Miami after sitting out the first two games with a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion.
Embiid warmed up in a protective mask as he makes his comeback with the Sixers trying to win their first game of the Eastern conference semifinals. The Heat lead the series 2-0.
“He really hasn’t been able to do a lot,” coach Doc Rivers said before the game. “We just have conditioning and how he looks on the floor.”
Embiid led the 76ers with averages of 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game during the regular season. And even though he’s bothered by a right thumb ligament injury that will require offseason surgery, he also averaged 26.2 points and 11.3 rebounds in the six games against Toronto in the first round.
Embiid is one of three finalists for MVP, along with Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Kyle Lowry also returned to the starting lineup for the Heat after he missed the last four playoff games with a strained left hamstring. The Heat went 4-0 without the point guard.

BOSTON – For 16 periods over six games, the Carolina Hurricanes dominated the Boston Bruins.
Five straight wins — including two in the playoffs. Twenty-six goals to three. Never did the Hurricanes even trail the Bruins over 325 minutes, 41 seconds.
“It's been a while,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said, noting that the teams didn't play in the pandemic-shortened 2021 season, so they hadn't beaten Carolina since 2020. “Playing with a lead, we’ve talked about it enough. It makes a difference for both teams.”
Brad Marchand scored the go-ahead goal to give Boston its first lead against Carolina all season. Then he added a pair of assists to help the Bruins hold on and beat the Hurricanes 4-2 in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.
Bruins rookie Jeremy Swayman stopped 25 shots in his first career playoff start after Linus Ullmark allowed eight goals in the first two games, both Hurricanes victories. That followed a regular season in which Carolina swept all three games, outscoring the Bruins 16-1 and never trailing.
Charlie Coyle scored a short-handed goal and added an assist, and David Pastrnak had a power-play goal and an assist for Boston, which hopes to even the best-of-seven series when it hosts Game 4 on Sunday. Taylor Hall added a power-play goal for the Bruins to make it 4-1 early in the third period.
“When J.D. (Jake DeBrusk) and C.C. made that play short-handed to get us back in the game, it just changed the whole demeanor,” Marchand said. “We had been playing catch-up all series. It just felt good to know we can respond.”
Vincent Trocheck and Jaccob Slavin scored for Carolina, and backup goalie Pyotr Kochetkov made 24 saves in his first career playoff start. He took over in Game 2 after starter Antti Raanta was injured in a collision with Pastrnak.
Trocheck gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead, swiping in a rebound just as he was belatedly knocked down in front of the net. But Coyle tied it on a 2-on-1 give-and-go with DeBrusk with 2:44 left in the first.
“Obviously, that’s a huge goal for them,” Slavin said. “Our power play should be giving us momentum, not taking it away.”
Five minutes into second, Marchand fought for the puck along the boards and headed for the slot, where he picked up Patrice Bergeron’s deflected shot and went high over Kochetkov. It was Boston's first lead over the Hurricanes since eliminating them in the first round of the 2020 postseason.
“We know what the issue was,” Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said. “We had a decent first period and then the power play gave up a shorty and they got some life out of it.”
The Hurricanes took back-to-back penalties late in the second, and soon after the 5-on-3 became a one-man advantage, Pastrnak wristed one in from the left circle to make it 3-1.
PLAYER OUT
The Hurricanes lost forward Jordan Martinook in the second period when he got his legs tangled up with Hall. Martinook got back on his skates, but couldn’t put any weight on his right ankle.
He went down the tunnel and the Hurricanes said he would not return.
“That one's going to be questionable,” Brind'Amour said. “He looked pretty rough in there.”
OFFICIAL OUT
The game was delayed for about seven minutes when a section of the glass fell on NHL official Joe Foley while he was working in the Bruins penalty box.
Play was whistled dead with 5:07 left in the second period and medical staff ran across the ice to tend to the official. He was taken off on a stretcher and given a cheer by the Boston fans.
The glass separated the Boston penalty box from the stands. Play resumed with a police officer in the stands to maintain a barrier.
NHL spokesman John Dellapina said Foley was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for observation.
“We heard he’s doing all right and he’s going to be fine,” Pastrnak said.

Gold price continues to dip as dollar sustains at record high. Should you buy?
4 min read . 06:13 AM IST- Gold prices slid for the third week in a row but managed to witness a respite in the latter part of the week

Gold prices dip for third successive week but managed to pare some early week losses after the US Fed indicating a slightly less aggressive tightening of the monetary policy. On Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold future rate for June contract ended at ₹51,344 per 10 gm on Friday whereas spot fold price ended around 1883 per ounce mark. According to commodity market experts, gold prices are under pressure as Dollar Index has sustained at its 20-year high levels. They said that demand for dollar may continue to remain on the positive side but global inflation hitting major global economies may continue to support gold price. They said that spot gold price has taken support at $1850 levels while MCX gold price has immediate support placed at ₹50,500 levels.
Gold prices dip for third successive week but managed to pare some early week losses after the US Fed indicating a slightly less aggressive tightening of the monetary policy. On Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold future rate for June contract ended at ₹51,344 per 10 gm on Friday whereas spot fold price ended around 1883 per ounce mark. According to commodity market experts, gold prices are under pressure as Dollar Index has sustained at its 20-year high levels. They said that demand for dollar may continue to remain on the positive side but global inflation hitting major global economies may continue to support gold price. They said that spot gold price has taken support at $1850 levels while MCX gold price has immediate support placed at ₹50,500 levels.
Speaking on the reason for continuous fall in gold prices, Sugandha Sachdeva, VP-Commodity & Currency Research at Religare Broking Ltd said, "Gold prices slid for the third week in a row but managed to witness a respite in the latter part of the week as the US Fed indicated a slightly less aggressive tightening of the monetary policy. On expected lines, the US Fed raised its benchmark rate by 50 bps, the largest increase since 2000 in their fight against spiraling inflation. The Fed has indicated multiple half-a-percentage point rate increases at the forthcoming meetings but maintained that they are not considering a three-fourth of a percentage point rate rise. On a similar path, the Bank of England raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, the fourth in a row since December and to their highest since 2009, in an attempt to rein in unimpeded inflation and even warned about risks of a recession." She said that markets are concerned about soaring inflation that is plaguing major economies as well as the risks emanating from the current tightening cycle, which is supporting gold prices but the surge in the dollar index, which held close to a 20-year high, continued to dent gold’s appeal.

She said that markets are concerned about soaring inflation that is plaguing major economies as well as the risks emanating from the current tightening cycle, which is supporting gold prices but the surge in the dollar index, which held close to a 20-year high, continued to dent gold’s appeal.
The Religare Broking expert went on to add that a series of economic releases during the week was slightly discouraging, which underpinned the precious metal. While the claims for US unemployment benefits rose to a more than two-month high last week, China's services sector shrank at the second sharpest pace on record, last month. Europe’s biggest economy, Germany witnessed a more than expected decline in industrial production in March. However, US jobs increased more than projected in April, but wage growth slowed.
Expecting demand for US dollar to continue in near term, Anuj Gupta, Vice President — Research at IIFL Securities said, "Gold and silver prices hit 2-month low this week but rebounded after the US Fed cooled down its hawkish stance on interest rate hike. But, demand for US dollar may continue further and Dollar Index may touch 105 to 107 in near term. So, strong dollar may continue to put breaks on the precious metal price rally. Immediate support for spot gold price is placed at $1850 levels and on breakage of this support, yellow metal price may go up to $1820 per ounce levels."
On triggers that may continue to support gold price in near term, Sugandha Sachdeva of Religare Broking said, "On the geopolitical front, the European Union’s proposal for a phased embargo on Russian supplies of crude oil and refined products by the end of 2022 pushed oil and gas prices on a higher incline. Besides OPEC+ decision to raise June production by a modest 432,000 barrels per day, and expectations of higher demand from the US, as they plan to buy 60 million barrels of crude to replenish emergency stockpiles this fall further buttressed oil prices. Rising energy prices are contributing to higher inflation, and will likely boost demand for gold as a hedge against inflation."
Speaking on gold price outlook, Sugandha Sachdeva said, "Gold price has witnessed a rebound after finding a cushion near ₹50,500 per 10 gm ($1850/ounce) mark, whereas ₹50,000 per 10 gm ($1830/ounce) mark will now act as near term key support for the week ahead. Prices are likely to move higher towards ₹52,250 per 10 gm level initially, whereas a breakout above the same would lead prices higher towards ₹52,900 per 10 gm mark for the coming week."
On what if the gold price breaks its current cushion, Anuj Gupta of IIFL Securities said, "On breakage of current immediate support, MCX gold price may go up to ₹49,000 per 10 gm levels in short term."

Woodside welcomes 32 new apprentices and trainees to Karratha-based Production Training Academy
An oil and gas powerhouse has accepted 32 new apprentices and trainees into its Karratha-based training academy.
All but one of the new recruits at Woodside’s Production Training Academy are local residents.
The latest intake comprises 12 apprentices and 20 trainees, including pre-pathway, business, laboratory, logistics and operator trainees. Seven of the recruits are recent school leavers.
The new recruits take the total number of trainees and apprentices at Woodside-operated Karratha facilities to 95.
The Production Training Academy was launched in 2010 to provide employment and training opportunity for local youth, helping them gain the skills needed for future careers in the mining sector.
Production Training Academy team leader Donna Walker said this was an exciting time for the trainees and apprentices.
“It is fantastic to see such an eager group ready to learn and grasp the opportunities ahead,” she said.
“Every one of them has worked hard to get here and we look forward to supporting them as they navigate the training and development ahead. There is no limit to what our new recruits can achieve.”

A powerful explosion apparently caused by a natural gas leak killed at least 22 people, including a child, and injured dozens when it blew away outer walls from a luxury hotel in the heart of Cuba's capital.
No tourists were staying at Havana's 96-room Hotel Saratoga because it was undergoing renovations, Havana Gov. Reinaldo García Zapata told the Communist Party newspaper Granma.
"It's not a bomb or an attack. It is a tragic accident," President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who visited the site, said in a tweet.
Dr. Julio Guerra Izquierdo, chief of hospital services at the Ministry of Health, told reporters that at least 74 people had been injured on Friday. Among them were 14 children, according to a tweet from Díaz-Canel's office.
Díaz-Canel said families in buildings near the hotel affected by the explosion had been transferred to safer locations.
Cuban state TV reported the explosion was caused by a truck that had been supplying natural gas to the hotel, but did not provide details on how the gas ignited. A white tanker truck was seen being removed from the site as rescue workers hosed it down with water.
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, José Ángel Portal, told The Associated Press the number of injured could rise as the search continues for people who may be trapped in the rubble of the 19th-century structure in the Old Havana neighbourhood of the city.
"We are still looking for a large group of people who may be under the rubble," Lt. Col. Noel Silva of the Fire Department said.
A 300-student school next to the hotel was evacuated. García said five of the students suffered minor injuries.
Police cordoned off the area as firefighters and rescue workers toiled inside the wreckage of the emblematic hotel about 110 yards (100 metres) from Cuba's Capitol building.
The hotel was first renovated in 2005 as part of the Cuban government's revival of Old Havana and is owned by the Cuban military's tourism business arm, Grupo de Turismo Gaviota SA. The company said it was investigating the cause of the blast and did not immediately respond to an email seeking more details about the hotel and the renovation it was undergoing.
The Hotel Saratoga has been used frequently by visiting VIPs and political figures, including high-ranking US government delegations. Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed there during a 2013 visit to Cuba.
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 Céspedes 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."
Besides the pandemic's impact on Cuba's tourism sector, the country was already struggling with the sanctions imposed by the former US President Donald Trump that have been kept in place the Biden administration. The sanctions limited visits by US tourists to the islands and restricted remittances from Cubans in the US 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 Andrés Manuel López 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 Pérez 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. | https://www.outlookindia.com/international/cuba-explosion-at-luxury-hotel-kills-explosion-22-and-injures-dozens-news-195373 | 2022-05-07T03:24:39Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/international/cuba-explosion-at-luxury-hotel-kills-explosion-22-and-injures-dozens-news-195373 | false | 31 |
The eighth annual Greater Helena Gives fundraising event Thursday and Friday hit another record, bringing in $224,256, according to early results posted Friday night.
“WOW! Helena, you've blown us away with your kindness!” event organizers posted at 7 p.m. on the www.greaterhelenagives.org website. More money was still rolling in after the 6 p.m. deadline.
The contributions by about 925 donors will go to a record 96 nonprofit organizations that signed up to benefit from the 24-hour online giving campaign focused on raising money and drawing attention to the local nonprofit community.
“We broke the fundraising record without breaking the donor record … that means people just gave more! How generous is our community?” said Emily Frazier, executive director of the Helena Area Community Foundation (HACF), which oversees the fundraising event which started 6 p.m. May 5 and ended at 6 p.m. May 6.
The website, https://www.greaterhelenagives.org, will remain open for donations through the weekend if people still want to give.

HACF said nonprofits received unprecedented levels of donations. St. Peter’s Health raised $23,740 — also a new record, and 31 nonprofits raised $2,000 or more, which is personally significant to the Helena Area Community Foundation.
“Most of our grants are made in amounts up to $2,000, so seeing how many nonprofits raise that much or more in 24 hours really cements the value of this program in terms of helping nonprofits build infrastructure," Frazier said.
“Given all the things that are happening in our communities — donors worrying about inflation, more and more public events returning to the greater Helena area — we’re just really honored that Helena showed up in such a big way, and proved how important Greater Helena Gives to them as well, “ she said.
Organizers were hoping to bring in more than the $216,185 raised by 1,058 separate donations for 89 nonprofits last year, Frazier said. This year she had hoped to get over 1,500 donors.
So far, in its first seven years it had raised $679,511, Frazier said. Of that, $375,895 has been raised in the last two years alone. It has grown from $40,000 for 54 nonprofits in 2015 to $216,185 for 89 nonprofits in 2021.
This latest year will push the fundraising total to more than $900,000.

No felony charge for man who tackled Dave Chappelle on stage
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man who tackled comedian Dave Chappelle during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl will not be charged with any felonies, the district attorney’s office said Thursday.
Isaiah Lee, 23, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, police said, after rushing the stage toward the end of Chappelle’s set in the last of a four-night stint at the outdoor amphitheater as part of the “Netflix Is a Joke” festival.
He was carrying a replica handgun with a large blade that folded out of it similar to a pocket knife, according to a photo released by police.
“After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct,” the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said in a statement.
The case has been referred to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office, which prosecutes misdemeanors within the city. An email seeking comment from the office was not immediately returned.
Jail records showed Lee was still being held Thursday in lieu of $30,000 bail, Mendez said. It was not immediately known if he had retained a lawyer, and the motive for the attack was unclear.
People standing in the wings of the stage, including actor Jamie Foxx and rapper Busta Rhymes, rushed on to the stage to try to help Chappelle.
Security guards chased and overpowered Lee, who was taken away in an ambulance for treatment of an unspecified injury.
“The performances by Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl were epic and record-breaking and he refuses to allow last night’s incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment,” Chapelle’s publicist Carla Sims said in a statement.
Chappelle was attacked as he was wrapping up a routine in which he talked about how comedians have to worry more about their personal security in the wake of this year’s Academy Awards ceremony where the Oscar-winning actor slapped Chris Rock on live television in reaction to a joke about his wife.
Rock was also in the wings of Chappelle’s show, He grabbed the mic and jokingly asked, “Was that Will Smith?”

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Just days after a dog was found abandoned in Green Bay, Wisconsin, calls are pouring in from all over the country with people wanting to give the good girl a home.
Wisconsin Humane Society animal behavior evaluator, Kari Weishan, joined Nexstar’s WFRV on Friday to give an update on how the nearly 6-year-old dog named ‘Baby Girl’ is doing.
“She’s doing really well,” said Weishan.
Baby Girl found herself under the care of the organization after a Green Bay resident found her tied up to a fire hydrant at an intersection.
But she wasn’t found alone.
There, lying on a bed of grass beside her was a backpack filled with her things and a message from her owner.
In the message, the owner explained they could no longer care for Baby Girl – resulting in them abandoning her in a busy neighborhood.
After being found, Baby Girl was taken to the Wisconsin Humane Society and placed on stray hold, meaning she couldn’t begin adoption eligibility until after she had spent a certain amount of days at the shelter.
Well, those days are up and Weishan tells us Baby Girl is well on her way to finding her new home.
“She’s doing really well. She’s currently off her stray hold so we’re learning more about her now with our vet team and our behavior team to get more info on how she’s doing and what she looks like,” explained Weishan.
And it seems Baby Girl won’t have a tough time getting adopted.
Weishan says that people from all over the country have already contacted the Humane Society asking to adopt her.
“We’ve gotten a lot of calls,” she said. “I want to say it’s probably close to 100 between yesterday and today; calls from all over the country from California, Florida, [and] South Carolina.”
Weishan believes that a big reason why Baby Girl’s story has evoked such a strong reaction from people across the nation is that her story was able to resonate with many in one way or another.
“A lot of people were interested in her story, it resonated with them and they just wanted to share their story and their interest as well,” said Weishan.
The Wisconsin Humane Society doesn’t yet know when Baby Girl will be available for adoption but is encouraging people to keep an eye out on the Wisconsin Human Society website for her listing. | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/calls-pour-in-for-dog-found-tied-to-fire-hydrant-in-wisconsin/ | 2022-05-07T03:38:19Z | https://www.counton2.com/news/national-news/calls-pour-in-for-dog-found-tied-to-fire-hydrant-in-wisconsin/ | false | 31 |
If you’ve ever wondered just how powerful the combination of the right social media platform and the right influencer can be, consider the latest national craze: dirty soda. Last December, Grammy Award-winning, pop phenomenon Olivia Rodrigo posted a photo of herself on Instagram. She was holding a cup from a Utah-based drive-by drink shop chain called Swig. That post is being cited as the catalyst for making dirty sodas popular. Now, hashtags like #dirtysoda and #utahsoda are trending on TikTok, making the unconventional beverage hugely popular across the nation.
What is a dirty soda?
A brief history of dirty soda
Dirty soda isn’t new. It has been around in Utah for over a decade. Because of the large population of members belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah, the state has developed a fascination for soda. Members of the church are under guidelines to abstain from “strong drinks,” including coffee, tea and alcohol. This relationship with the carbonated beverage intensified a decade ago when the church clarified its position on caffeinated soft drinks, stating that caffeinated soda was fine. It was just coffee, tea and alcohol that were prohibited.
In an effort to find a wider variety of palate-pleasing beverages that fell within the church’s guidelines, nonalcoholic, chilled mixed drinks became popular. This led to the rise of chains that specialized in sweet, refreshing beverages, such as Swig, Sodalicious and Fiiz.
Ingredients found in a dirty soda
With alcoholic beverages, “dirty” refers to any drink that contains olive juice or brine. This adds a cloudy appearance to the cocktail and disrupts the “clean” taste, giving it an intriguing characteristic.
Dirty soda is similar. Ingredients are added to the drink that make it cloudy and give it a whole new flavor facet. In some ways, it is like adding creamer to your coffee. To make a dirty soda, adults add ingredients like creamers, syrups, fruits and juices. For kids, the soda is dirtied mostly by adding milk, whipped cream, candy and sprinkles.
Arguably, the most popular dirty soda at the moment is a dirty Coke. While the recipes vary slightly, you typically start with 12 ounces of Coke or Diet Coke and add crushed ice, two tablespoons of coconut syrup and two slices of lime. To create a little more cloudiness, some individuals also add one or two tablespoons of half and half, but this is optional.
Can I make my own dirty soda?
While dirty sodas might be a craze that is sweeping the nation, there is one tiny problem: The bulk of the chains that specialize in this flavorful refresher are located in a relatively small region of the U.S. The best place to get these thirst-quenching treats is Utah and other western states. While it is possible to find chains in Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio, most of the country might have a hard time finding authentic dirty sodas.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the flavorful phenomenon. Dirty sodas are made with common ingredients that are found in most households. While you might have a little more trouble procuring flavored syrups, thanks to online shopping, you can order them today and have them shipped directly to your door in just a few days. This means anyone can make their own dirty soda at home.

Abortions were already getting more expensive. Now, with the Supreme Court poised to weigh in, they’re likely to get even pricier
Sign up for the Fortune Features email list so you don’t miss our biggest features, exclusive interviews, and investigations.
An unprecedented leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion on Monday revealed that the nation’s highest court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that guarantees abortion rights.
If the decision goes through, abortion will be made instantly illegal in 13 states due to so-called trigger laws already enacted by their legislatures, and 10 more states would likely institute their own bans shortly thereafter, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights.
While the implications of the Court’s decision are just now being digested, one thing is clear: Abortions will become increasingly expensive in the U.S.
Dr. Ushma Upadhyay, an associate professor at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) and research director for the University of California Global Health Institute’s Center of Expertise in Women’s Health, Gender, and Empowerment, told Fortune that a federal abortion ban would force women in many states to travel significant distances in order to find the reproductive care they need, greatly increasing the average cost for an abortion.
“If Roe v. Wade is overturned, we expect about half of states to dramatically restrict abortion,” Dr. Upadhyay said. “So people will have to travel out of states to obtain abortion care. And we expect the cost of that travel to be exceedingly difficult for people.”
Dr. Upadhyay noted that women will have to take time off work, arrange for childcare, and plan for a multiday trip to get treatment.
Those rising costs would add yet another roadblock for those looking for access to reproductive healthcare. But even before the recent Supreme Court decision, abortion costs were on the rise nationwide.
Abortion costs were already soaring
From 2017 to 2020 the average cost of the two most common types of abortion—medication and a first-trimester procedure—increased 13% and 21%, respectively, according to research published in April by Dr. Upadhyay and her colleagues. That’s compared to an expected increase of 8% as a result of health care inflation alone.
The researchers noted that abortion costs will continue to rise due to increasing regulation around the country as well.
“As abortion provision becomes more regulated, often without any evidence that these regulations improve care, patient charges may continue to increase,” they wrote.
By 2020, the average cost for an abortion in the U.S. topped $500, according to the Guttmacher Institute. And due to the Hyde Amendment—which prevents federal funds from covering abortion care—as well as legal restrictions in many states that block private insurance plans from covering abortion costs, most patients pay for at least some of their abortion costs out-of-pocket.
Research by the UCSF Bixby Center, based on interviews with patients visiting 30 abortion clinics nationwide, found that 29% of patients paid out-of-pocket for the full cost of their abortions.
Even with roughly two-thirds of patients receiving some sort of financial assistance for their procedure, their total out-of-pocket costs neared $500. Those costs represented more than a third of the monthly income of more than half of the participants in the UCSF study.
As a result, 54% of patients reported that raising money for an abortion delayed them from obtaining care. And the effects of delaying abortions can be not only costly, but deadly.
Rising risks for lower-income people of color—and more ER visits
The number of maternal deaths associated with abortion increases from 0.3 for every 100,000 abortions at or before eight weeks of pregnancy to 6.7 per 100,000 at 18 weeks or later, data from the Guttmacher Institute shows. And according to Dr. Upadhyay, anti-abortion legislation is likely to push people to delay their abortions.
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would also be particularly devastating for people of color and those with lower incomes or limited English proficiency, she explained.
“This is extremely concerning, particularly for low-income people and people of color who don't have the means to travel. I think it will mean that people will have to resort to either self-managed abortion or carrying unwanted pregnancies to term,” Dr. Upadhyay said, adding that she also expects many to turn to “increasingly unsafe methods.”
“I worry that people will think that abortion is illegal, and that it's just not an option at all in the United States,” she said. “The lack of information is what I am worried about, that people won't know that they do have options for safe abortion care.”
Dr. Upadhyay noted that some states, including California, New York, and Connecticut, are creating abortion funds specifically for people from out of state who may need assistance in paying for their abortions.
But it’s not just people seeking reproductive care who will struggle with rising costs as a result of anti-abortion legislation. A rise in self-managed abortion will also lead to increased emergency room visits, Dr. Upadhyay said, and that could mean higher costs for taxpayers in those states. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591122625873/abortions-were-already-getting-more-expensive-now-with-the-supreme-court-poised-to-weigh-in-they-re-likely-to-get-even-pricier | 2022-05-07T03:41:35Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591122625873/abortions-were-already-getting-more-expensive-now-with-the-supreme-court-poised-to-weigh-in-they-re-likely-to-get-even-pricier | true | 1 |
The sale for Chelsea F.C. is drawing to a close as a consortium led by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly won with a $5.25 billion bid, the club announced on Friday.
Boehly is joined in the purchase by Clearlake Capital, Swiss businessman Hansjorg Wyss and Mark Walter, CEO of Guggenheim Partners and co-owner of several Los Angeles sports teams, including the Dodgers.
The announcement came as the club faces a quickly approaching deadline of May 31 set by the U.K. government. Chelsea first went up for sale in early March, a week before the government issued sanctions against Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich in response to his country’s invasion of Ukraine.
According to the official statement, $3.1 billion will be deposited to the frozen U.K. bank account of Abramovich “with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes.” The U.K. government is reportedly overseeing this transaction.
The remaining $2.16 billion of the sale will go toward “the benefit of the Club.” Specific investments include home stadium Stamford Bridge, the football academy, the Chelsea women’s team and their stadium, Kingsmeadow, and continued funding for the Chelsea Foundation.
Abramovich acquired the team in 2003 and they’ve since won two Champions League titles, most recently in 2021. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/sports/consortium-led-by-dodgers-co-owner-wins-bid-to-buy-chelsea-for-5-25-billion/3045195/ | 2022-05-07T03:42:23Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/sports/consortium-led-by-dodgers-co-owner-wins-bid-to-buy-chelsea-for-5-25-billion/3045195/ | false | 10 |

This year’s Met Gala may be over, but we’re still digesting all the iconic fashion & pop culture moments. From Cardi B in that gilded chain, Versace column dress, and Lizzo wearing that divine embroidered satin Thom Browne overcoat (with flute in tow) to La La Anthony being the queen of hosting, spearheading the official Vogue live-stream and Rihanna’s presence sheer impact through a CGI created statue.
Another moment we can’t get over is; Instagram’s official Met Gala portrait. Instagram’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, In America: An Anthology of Fashion table guests assembled for a group photo that is honestly quite iconic. Lensed by Brooklyn Native (now LA-based) photographer Juan Veloz, the image features the next generation of actors, actresses, designers, entertainers, models, and musicians.
Stars like Anderson.Paak, Chlöe Bailey, Schiaparelli’s Creative Director Daniel Roseberry, Theophilo’s Edvin Thompson, Gunna, SZA, and yes even Mr. “First Class” himself, Jack Harlow, let their couture and personalities shine through (see: Anderson.Paak and his beatles era wig and grin).
Juan, who’s shot campaigns for GUESS, and editorials for Vogue Mexico and Wonderland, also captured individual portraits of the guests. From Chlöe Bailey in her sculpted AREA couture gown to SZA in her pink, burled wood grain Vivienne Westwood gown and signature wink.
“Fashion ultimately is about story-telling and self-expression,” says Eva Chen, Vice President of Fashion & Shopping Partnerships at Instagram, via press release. “And what is Instagram if not another format of self-expression—for the creative director that wants a clean slate profile every season. For the makeup artist doing live shopping on Instagram.”

Long before Colorado became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis, its capital was nicknamed the "Mile High City."
This moniker reflected not the state of Denver's inhabitants, but the city's mile-high elevation, give or take a few hundred feet. But there are definitely spots around town that measure exactly 5,280 feet above sea level, some of which make it very easy to join the Mile High Club without going anywhere near Denver International Airport.
According to milehighclub.com, "The term 'Mile High Club' refers to two people engaging in sexual activity
(sexual intercourse) at an altitude of no less than 5,280 ft (a mile high above the earth) in an airplane."
Of course, in Denver, you don't need the airplane. You just need to know where to make your mark. Here are five possibilities:
The most obvious: When Coors Field debuted in 1995, it sported an amenity only possible in the Mile High City. In the twentieth row of the nosebleed, upper 300 sections, stretching from the left-field foul pole all the way to above the visitors' bullpen, there are 865 purple seats, marking where the ballpark measured exactly 5,280 feet on that first opening day. Have the seats settled since then? Fans' hopes for a winning season sure have.
The most scenic: The Sky Terrace on the west side of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science has a scenic view of the city and the Front Range beyond...and the deck happens to be at exactly 5,280 feet. Give the kids something to see once they're tired of the dioramas.
The most obscure: When John Hickenlooper, a major baseball fan (though "just about the worst baseball player Little League had ever seen," he confesses), was mayor of Denver, he had a purple stripe painted in his third-floor office at the City and County Building at 5,280 feet — about a foot below the ceiling. Mayor Michael Hancock has retained that line.
The most visited: The west side of the Colorado Capitol has not one, not two, but three markers commemorating the altitude. The words "One Mile Above Sea Level" were carved into the fifteenth step in 1947, after thieves made off with a circa 1903 plaque that made the same pronouncement. After some measuring, a revisionist brass marker was installed on the eighteenth step in 1969. And in 2003, as Denver settled down, then-Governor Bill Owens presided over the installation of a revised revisionist marker placed on the thirteenth step, at what was then precisely 5,280 feet.
The latest: The 176-room Rally Hotel, part of the Colorado Rockies' McGregor Square project, opened just in time for the 2021 baseball season. The eighth floor of the hotel — dubbed the “Mile High Floor" — is right at 5,280 feet, in line with the purple seats at Coors Field, and also decked out in purple, with big windows that offer guests views of the ballpark (if not the field)...and those outside the hotel views of the goings-on inside. Initially, the Rally didn't push the Mile High Club possibilities. But that changed last month.
The Rally is now offering a Mile High Club special. "Let your temptations take flight when you join The Rally’s Mile High Club, an elevated experience for guests staying on our Colorado-sunset inspired Mile High Floor," the website suggests.
"We wanted to have fun with it for sure," says Megan Copenhaver, the Rally's marketing manager. While the other floors are all family-friendly, this one is a little more "sultry, sexy, fun, date-night experience," she notes. That elevated experience comes complete with a tour of Mile High Spirits, a hotel partner, as well as "sweet and spicy aphrodisiac truffles and couple's intimacy game in your guest room," along with custom pins for those who earn their Mile High Club wings at the Rally overlooking Coors Field.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The kidnapping and safe recovery of a 3-month-old boy in San Jose made headlines in April. Two people who knew his mother from church were ultimately charged with the crime.
New information has come to light regarding the church. Police were called to the South Bay church in September for a separate incident that involved the death of a 3-year-old girl.
According to court documents, the death occurred at the Iglesia Evangelicas Apostoles y Profetas as family members were trying to rid the girl of an evil spirit.
The church operates out of the back room of a house and often posts its sermons on YouTube.
But the incident in September was a private matter, an exorcism of sorts, that resulted in the death of the little girl.
According to court documents, her mother told police she thought the child was possessed by an evil spirit "because the victim would wake up and scream or cry periodically."
She brought the child to the church where she and two family members, "held the victim around her waist and neck to help her throw up, which she believed would help her get the spirit out."
This went on for about 12 hours, leaving the child with injuries around her eyes, face, neck, and chest.
The medical examiner said ultimately the child died of asphyxia due to suffocation.
Police added, "after the victim died, they did not perform any medical assistance, and they did not call 911."
The mother, Claudia Hernandez was arrested and is being held on charges of felony child abuse.
She denied KTVU's request for an interview.
