Tiger Sports Roundup
A trip to Wilmington saw the Tigers square off with the host Wildcats in a conference battle. The game was a low scoring battle that saw the Tigers drop a 2-1 heartbreaker in the late innings. Both offenses were mostly held in check by strong pitching performances with the Tigers only...

When it comes to weddings, in the casino capital of the world – and the land of a gazillion megawatts – swapping the vicar for Elvis Presley is pretty much the norm.
But then, so is ziplining across the Las Vegas Strip in a bridal gown and swapping neat finger foods to risk cardiac failure with a reception at the Heart Attack Grill’s all-you-can-eat buffet.
In fact, want to get married by a pirate at a gun store? That’s cool in Vegas. Fancy saying your vows under neon lights while playing mini golf? That’s good too. And if you’re short on time… Sign up to the drive-thru package – with a ceremony in a pink limo lasting no more than five minutes.
Although The Wedding Travel Company has reported a 50% increase in demand for vows in Vegas since January 2022 alone, getting spliced in Sin City is nothing new.
One of the area’s most famous venues, A Little White Wedding Chapel, has been going since the 1950s and is said to have married around 800,000 couples, from Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in 1958 to Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in 2019.
Yet the novelty of a Nevada wedding day is still going strong, with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, secretly marrying in a low-key ceremony just last month in front of an Elvis impersonator at the One Love Wedding Chapel.
Kourtney wrote on her instagram: ‘Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2am, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (with no license).’
Although without a licence, the marriage isn’t valid, Kourtney added: ‘Practice makes perfect.’
She later revealed that the venue refused to grant a licence in the early hours – despite their pleas – but they went ahead and had the ceremony anyway.
The lovebirds are the latest to join the likes of Lily Allen and David Harbour, Britney Spears and Jason Alexander and Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton – all of whom tied the knot in a Vegas ceremony.
However, saying your vows here certainly isn’t something exclusive to the rich and famous. Weddings in Sin City have become a popular – and economical – choice for everyday Brits.
After all, at the Marriage Capital of the World, you can easily acquire a marriage licence the same day you want to get spliced. Then, there’s the cost. While the average cost of a wedding in the UK in 2021 was £17,300, according to the Hitched National Wedding Survey, here you can get wed for as little as £100.
Like Kourtney and Travis, Jane Worthington-Cobb and her husband Matt were married by ‘Elvis’. Is Vegas tacky? ‘Cripes yes’, she laughs. ‘But it’s the most fun place ever.’
It was Jane and Matt’s second marriage. They were both widowed young, and had dream weddings the first time around.
The 51-year-old lawyer from Warrington says: ‘We chose Vegas because I love Elvis. And we just wanted to do something completely mad. Our first weddings were perfect. They were absolutely lovely. We had exactly the weddings we wanted, and we didn’t want to do anything similar this time.’
So in February 2020, they packed their bags, along with their four children, Emily, William, Lizzie and Alex, and flew to the States, where they were married by the King in a fun, yet romantic, ceremony.
‘It was so cool, the whole day was just a blast,’ Jane remembers. ‘After the ceremony, we went to Fremont Street and we went to the Heart Attack Grill where you get spanked by nurses if you don’t finish your meal.
‘You have to put on medical costumes because the place is really unapologetic about how calorific the food is. It was really good fun as we were in our wedding clothes, with hospital
gowns on top. You weigh yourself before you go in. We all piled our food onto our eldest son, 18-year-old Alex’s plate so he got the spanking. The little-uns laughed their heads off at that.’
As part of their bag day, the family strolled down the strip in their finery; Jane in her wedding frock, the girls in bridesmaid dresses and the boys looking like Peaky Blinders in bowties and tweed jackets.
Their favourite wedding picture is the six of them posing with a nun with her boobs out and an adult baby in a nappy. ‘It was bonkers’, remembers Jane.
‘Matt and I did a twin zip wire all the way down Fremont Street through all the neon lights. I don’t think people are used to seeing brides flying through the air because people are quite precious about preserving their wedding dresses. But I just thought – I don’t care. Life is for living now. That’s what we learned through being widowed.
‘It was the best day ever. I love my family dearly and I loved our first weddings, but it’s quite stressful when you’re getting married. And the idea of getting our elderly parents to Vegas… They would have hated it. So it was just the six of us – our little tribe. It was amazing. Vegas is the best place to get married. Everybody should do it.’
According to Diana Gomez, if you’re clever about it, a Vegas wedding can cost you nothing – and she should know, as Diana and her husband Jason Burns managed to pay for their whole trip through the winnings they made in the casinos.
‘The hotel, the food, the drinks, the car hire; all our expenses were covered by our winnings. Every day we made a little bit of money and used it to pay for something,’ she says.
The pair stayed in a suite at the luxurious Venetian Resort Hotel where they got upgraded thanks to the hotel being empty due to Covid and spent thousands on the day, all of which they won back through playing dice. ‘My husband is really good at craps’, adds Diana.
The couple decided on a Vegas do, after Diana ‘proposed’ to Jason at a tube station in 2020 when the nation was in lockdown and her American musician partner had to go to the States for a gig. She was worried he wouldn’t get back into the country, due to visa and Covid restrictions, and that she wouldn’t be able to get out to see him.
She spontaneously suggested they get married as she kissed him goodbye, and by the time he had arrived at Heathrow and was ready to fly. Diana flew out to meet him later.
Diana, a fashion and celebrity photographer from London says they had Vegas as their own personal playground; the normally bustling city was deserted because of Covid.
Rockers Diana and Matt met at a music festival in 2017 and the pair have music in their DNA. Jason makes musical instruments www.blastcult.com and both are big Elvis fans, so their obvious choice was to get married at the Graceland Chapel by the King of Rock and Roll himself.
The happy couple wore black leather suits inspired by Elvis’ 1968 comeback and their only guests were two friends – one of whom came from France, the other was already out there – and the whole day was a party.
‘It was the most fantastic wedding,’ recalls Diana. ‘We had a big limousine and we partied at the Venetian hotel afterwards. The beautiful thing was that there was no one around.
‘The casinos were open, but the shows weren’t. Public spaces were still shut. We just stayed there for four days, had loads of fun, and then I flew back and we had a marriage certificate straight away.
‘It was four incredible days. Very short and sweet. No hassle. No-one knew that I was getting married. I didn’t know either, until the last minute. We had an improvised hen night with my
friends at the pub in London on the Friday. We flew out on Saturday morning and it all fell into place. It was no fuss and no stress. It was great and we had an amazing time.
‘I love Vegas anyway, but when it is empty, it is pretty amazing. And then flying back it was a relief because Covid was such a hard time for everyone, but we did what we wanted to do; we escaped in a very rebellious and fun way.
‘I am not a person who had this dream of the big white wedding. I just wanted it to be fun; a great party. It was an amazing day. Really memorable. It was the most fun you could ever have in Vegas because we were there for such an incredible reason.’
Jo and Steve Berry went to Vegas to get remarried after everything that could go wrong in their first wedding in the 90’s – did.
The catalogue of disasters included tension between relatives, a guest proposing to another guest and then announcing their news that same day, and another wedding party stealing all the wedding gifts.
To top it all off, the photographer pulled out at the last moment. Jo’s dad scrabbled to find a new one and came through with someone – whose day job was taking pictures of bodies at the morgue.
Not ideal when, Jo jokingly admits, ‘when I get photographed, I look like a corpse anyway.’
While on the day, the stand-in took great pictures, and the couple were left with really happy memories – Joand her husband Steve wanted a do-over to get their perfect wedding day, and decided Vegas was the perfect location.
They renewed their vows in the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in 2015, having booked the whole thing online and paid the $150 cost up front, which included the trip to the chapel, a ten-minute journey in a white stretch limo.
It was a huge departure from their first wedding, which cost £8,000. Even the bridal gown was world’s away from her original choice, with kid’s movie reviewer Jo wearing a white £50 Asos lace maxi dress, which she got altered and still wears today.
Talking about their special day, she says, ‘It was just me, my husband and our son Danny.
‘I loved my first wedding but actually this was almost nicer. It was just us. There was no fuss.
‘My son was 10. And he started to cry and I didn’t know what happened and it was just because he was so happy. That was so sweet. Of course the one person that’s normally not at your wedding is your child. So it was really lovely to have the two most important people there.’
Jo loves Vegas, but admits it’s an ‘odd place’ like a ‘grown-ups’ playground,’ although the vibe is ‘fun, light hearted and very chilled.’
‘That’s what I like about it,’ she adds. ‘I mean, you know you can walk down the street and pass somebody in an evening gown and the next person is wearing a bikini and a pair of flip flops.’
Getting re-married in the same room that Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow were wed was ‘kind of cool’, she says. ‘On the day, we were completely sober. It wasn’t like we had just ploughed in there like Ross and Rachel from Friends.
People might think it is tacky and frivolous and silly, but the chapel was really pretty. We said our vows off the cuff because it was just the three of us. And I just loved it because I was with the two people I love most in the world.’

After months of testing the features in the beta version, WhatsApp is finally rolling out some of the key features like reactions on messages, enabling larger file sharing limits and raising the limit for the number of members in a group.
Message reactions are one of the more exciting features that are expected to arrive in the coming weeks to the app. after the recent cashback offer announcement from the company last week. Similar to the emoji reactions that we see on Instagram and Facebook Messenger, the new feature will allow you to react to messages in groups or personal chats and also see other reactions from members.
There have also been reports that reaction options from Instagram’s Stories and Reels will also find their way to WhatsApp Stories in a future update. Recently, WhatsApp also launched cashback offers to compete with Google Pay and PhonePe for instant mobile payments.
The most awaited feature however is the increased file sharing limit of up to 2GB per file from the insufficient 100MB limit. Many users have opted for using Telegram for the very reason that the app allowed file sharing in groups and personal chat in the past. Now that WhatsApp has got the functionality, it's expected to give Telegram users another reason to be more active on the app.
In 2011 we introduced Group Chats, and we haven't stopped improving since. In the coming weeks, we'll roll out the ability to share files up to 2GB and add more people to your groups so you can continue creating and nurturing meaningful, private connections. https://t.co/mcJpQVIVTUMay 5, 2022
Groups of 512 members
Meta Platforms app has also increased its limit for the number of members in a group from 256 to 512 which has been confirmed by WABetaInfo. This may be in line with the Communities feature that was unveiled last month which allows creating a single group for members from other groups as well based on their interests.
The latest features are being rolled out in a phased manner and are not available immediately for everyone. So you would need to keep an eye on the updates in the coming weeks.
Will we see a WhatsApp Premium as well?
It’s great to see that WhatsApp is turning a new leaf with the addition of many of these features that users have been asking for years. But, it does beg the question if the company will opt in to provide more premium features too down the line to sustain its business model. There has been no addition of ads to the app yet, and there is no clear picture yet if it would make its way too to the app.
While Telegram acquires its funding through premium content as well, the company has restricted these to public channels and has not tampered with the free features for its users. We could see a similar strategy through the Communities groups where sponsored content or ads could popup in between messages. | https://www.techradar.com/in/news/whatsapp-is-rolling-out-new-message-reactions-features-for-all-users | 2022-05-07T08:11:40Z | https://www.techradar.com/in/news/whatsapp-is-rolling-out-new-message-reactions-features-for-all-users | false | 1 |
A 50-year-old man has been arrested from Samastipur in Bihar after a video of him allegedly raping his daughter went viral on social media.

If the numbers released by the American Quilter’s Society and the National Quilt Museum are any indication, Paducah’s QuiltWeek has picked up where it left off in 2019.
The annual quilt shows were canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year, the AQS pieced together a successful event.
Bill Schroeder III, the grandson of AQS founders Bill and Meredith Schroeder, said he was pleased with QuiltWeek in his first year as co-owner of the American Quilter’s Society.
“QuiltWeek exceeded my expectations in every possible way,” he said. “The buzz was crazy, and the quilters were really excited to be back in person.
“Obviously, I didn’t know what to expect going into my first quilt show, and all of the pressure that I had on me that a lot people didn’t know — taking over for the family and could I make it what it always has been — and I’m just glad the week was as successful as I could possibly imagine.”
Schroeder said when he bought the AQS, he had no idea what it would look like after the pandemic.
“Our demographic was one of the hardest hit by it, but they showed up and they were here just like any regular quilt show,” he said. “I was very pleased with it.”
Bonnie Browning, the executive show director of the American Quilter’s Society, said the turnout this year was comparable to the previous show in 2019.
“Our attendance was 30,144,” she said. “That was about 500 people less than we had in 2019, so we came real close to meeting our same number from 2019. Based on our high numbers of registration early on and right up until we opened the show, we knew we would have a good crowd. We just didn’t know what that number would be.
“So, we are extremely pleased that we came so close to hitting the same number from 2019 because that was our 35th annual show, and we had a big celebration that year, and the numbers were up that year. If we came this close to being the same as 2019, we consider that to be a very successful show.”
The attendance for the 2018 show was 30,487, which shows little change in the last three QuiltWeek events.
“Any time we can hit over 30,000, it’s a win to me,” Schroeder said. “I bought this company 90% because of that week, and I told our employees before the quilt show that I’m from Paducah, Kentucky. I know what this event does for the city and the community. Everybody rallies behind it.”
The AQS QuiltWeek event was held April 27-30 at the Schroeder Expo Center — named for AQS founders Bill and Meredith Schroeder — as well as at the Dome Pavilion. The event featured vendors, classes and displays for quilters from around the world.
“I know that the quilters were excited to get here and I know they had a great time,” Browning said. “Best of all, we had amazing quilts for them to see.
“We had a (world) map to show where everyone was from. The yellow stickers that were on the map were from all over the world. We had some from Japan and The Netherlands and Norway, and I believe we had Germany, Canada and Australia.”
Matt Collinsworth is in his first year as the chief executive officer for the National Quilt Museum, and he said the number of visitors to the museum this year was also comparable to the 2019 attendance.
“QuiltWeek 2022 was very good here at the National Quilt Museum,” he said. “I don’t have final totals yet — because I don’t know how many tickets were pre-sold through AQS — but I can tell you that the tickets that we sold at the door were in line with other shows in the past.
“It looked like — from our perspective — a return to normal for QuiltWeek. We were slightly below 2019 by 70 people in terms of in-house tickets sold, and those numbers may be made up on the pre-sold end, but we were about 350 above where we were in 2018.”
Collinsworth said his first QuiltWeek event was “great” and heard good things from visitors.
“What I heard most from people is just how much they love coming to Paducah,” he said. “They look forward to this all year, and it had been three years, so everyone was really excited and very positive.
“It was the first time around for many of us here at the museum, and we had a good time.”
Michelle Campbell, the executive director for the Carroll Convention Center and the Schroeder Expo Center, said those facilities and the Dome Pavilion were ready for this year’s QuiltWeek.
The convention center was used for classrooms, while the expo center and Dome Pavilion housed vendors and displays.
“It was a good attendance coming out of COVID, but it was not 2019,”
Campbell said, “Our vendors — the vendors who were in the parking lot — all noticed the decline.
“Industry-wide, there’s a 30- or 40-% decline across the board in this industry (hospitality). So, they had a good show coming off of COVID, but was it 2019? I didn’t see those numbers.”
Campbell said the facilities did the job, but said the Dome Pavilion needs to be addressed.
“The Dome was a temporary fix for the Executive Inn when that square footage went away,” she said. “We have to figure out a more permanent building because the Dome is coming up on the end of its life expectancy.
Asked about the Quilt Week event for next year, Schroeder said he is anticipating next year’s quilt show.
“For me to sit here and say ‘I’m not thinking about ‘23” would be a lie,” he said. “I’m always looking for Paducah — whatever the next year is. I’m trying to make it the best we can possibly do.
“Yes, I am glad that ‘22 is over and behind me and it’s not a question anymore if they’re going to show up. For ‘23, we’re looking to do better than ‘22 and, hopefully, all of the quilters will see all of the hard work we’re doing and come back to Paducah. It’s my hometown and I love it.”

Mortgage lender HDFC Ltd on Saturday announced an increase in its benchmark lending rate by 30 basis points (bps), a move that will make loans dearer for both existing and new borrowers.
The move comes just days after several lenders, including ICICI Bank, Bank of Baroda and Bank of India, raised interest rates following the Reserve Bank of India's surprise repo rate hike on Wednesday.
"HDFC increases its Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR) on housing loans, on which its Adjustable Rate Home Loans (ARHL) are benchmarked, by 30 basis points, with effect from May 9, 2022," the housing finance company said in a statement.
The revised rates for new borrowers range between 7 per cent and 7.45 per cent, depending on credit and loan amount. The existing range is 6.70 per cent to 7.15 per cent.
For existing customers, the rates would rise by 30 basis points or (0.3 per cent).
Earlier this month, HDFC had increased its benchmark lending rate by 5 basis points making EMI for existing borrowers expensive.
HDFC follows a 3-month cycle for repricing its loans to existing customers. So, the loans will be revised in sync with increased lending rate based on the date of the first disbursement.
Financial institutions are on an interest rate hike spree following increase in repo rate and cash reserve ratio (percentage of total deposit of the banks kept with RBI) by 40 basis points and 50 basis points respectively announced by the RBI earlier this week.
After an out-of-turn Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, the Reserve Bank on Wednesday hiked the benchmark repo rate -- the short-term lending rate it charges to banks - by 0.40 per cent to 4.40 per cent with immediate effect, aimed at taming soaring inflation.

Should You Investigate Mitchells & Butlers plc (LON:MAB) At UK£2.10?
Mitchells & Butlers plc (LON:MAB), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the LSE, rising to highs of UK£2.66 and falling to the lows of UK£2.10. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Mitchells & Butlers' current trading price of UK£2.10 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Mitchells & Butlers’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.
See our latest analysis for Mitchells & Butlers
What's the opportunity in Mitchells & Butlers?
Good news, investors! Mitchells & Butlers is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £3.25, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Mitchells & Butlers’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
What does the future of Mitchells & Butlers look like?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. In Mitchells & Butlers' case, its revenues over the next couple of years are expected to double, indicating an incredibly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? Since MAB is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

22 killed in Havana hotel blast
Havana: A powerful explosion at a luxury hotel in central Havana has killed at least 22 people, with 64 people injured, the Cuban Presidential Office said in an update on Saturday.
President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who visited the site of the blast and a local hospital, said: “The explosion was not a bomb nor an attack, but a regrettable accident,” reports Xinhua news agency
A gas leak is thought to be the cause of the massive explosion at Hotel Saratoga, according to the Presidential Office.
Located opposite the island’s National Capitol building, the five-star hotel was preparing to reopen on May 10 as part of reviving the island nation’s tourism industry which was badly hit in the wake of of the Covid-19 pandemic.
At present, rescue operations are still underway as traffic has been diverted from the surroundings of the hotel.
“Patients are currently treated in eight health facilities in Havana, including two paediatric hospitals,” said Julio Guerra, head of the Health Ministry’s hospital services.
Havana Governor Reinaldo Garcia stressed the importance of solidarity of the population after the tragic event.
The blast also caused damage to buildings near the hotel, he said, adding that “thousands of people continue volunteering to donate blood”.
An investigation into the explosion is underway, local media reported. | https://www.mangalorean.com/22-killed-in-havana-hotel-blast/ | 2022-05-07T08:38:10Z | https://www.mangalorean.com/22-killed-in-havana-hotel-blast/ | false | 4 |

The American fascination with true crime is well-established; you can find myriad podcasts, books and TV programs that prove as much.
But there's something about watching a potential crime unfold live -- this month, it's the disappearance of Alabama corrections officer Vicky White and convict Casey White -- that scratches another, more urgent itch.
From the weeks-long search for Brian Laundrie after his fiancée Gabby Petito was found dead, to the hunt for White and White (no relation), audiences are fascinated by ongoing manhunts and fugitives evading capture. Hollywood has capitalized on this, too, with fictional fare like "The Fugitive," while true crime media has proven to be a lucrative and enduring venture for decades.
But what is it about a manhunt that can grab our attention and hold it for weeks, even months?
Amanda Vicary, an associate professor of psychology at Illinois Wesleyan University, points to the immediacy and unfinished story.
"Not only could we be in danger ourselves, but there's the mystery element -- where is the person and what are they going to do?" said Vicary, who studies the drivers behind women's interest in true crime.
Sordid crime stories have interested us for "thousands of years," Vicary said, but watching a manhunt unfold live is different from watching a "Dateline" episode about a crime that took place years prior. The danger is real, and with few answers, those following along are coming up with their own conclusions like the law enforcement officials on a fugitive's tail.
The story is stranger than fiction
Vicary's research has shown that women tend to consume true crime media more often than men, a trend she said is partly driven by a need to "learn something" from a violent incident so they can prevent it from happening to them (particularly if the true crime tale involves a woman victim).
"Members of the general public want to know how dangerous somebody is -- that's going to be the thing that gets people to look up from their breakfast cereal," said Dr. Michael Bourke, former chief psychologist for the US Marshals Service and current instructor at George Washington University.
But in the case of White and White, theirs is a story that sounds like it's ripped from a film script -- Vicky White was, Vicary said, "by all accounts ... a respectable and reliable employee," working on the side of the law. Casey White, who was serving 75 years for several crimes in 2015, is also facing two counts of capital murder.
"It sounds like a movie but is real life," Vicary said. "It's not surprising people are following along."
The fact that White was an established law enforcement official who suddenly left her job with a convict lends the case a degree of "romance," Bourke said -- a hook for viewers.
Internet sleuths enjoy following along
When Gabby Petito disappeared, TikTok sleuths composed a picture of what her life had been like in the days before she went missing using law enforcement footage, Instagram deep-diving and triangulating her last known location based on other users' posts. When Brian Laundrie went on the run after Petito's body was found, those sleuths set out to virtually follow his trail.
Vicary said the same amateur detectives who sought clues in Petito and Laundrie's case may be drawn back into the fray for the Alabama corrections officer and convict: Those following along "are enjoying thinking about where (White and White) went and where they may be hiding."
Bourke said many people who follow tales of criminals on the run do so to exact justice, to "feel a part of mitigating that threat" in their community. But some of them also enjoy trying to "beat (law enforcement officials) at their own game" and "solve" a mysterious disappearance along with the pros.
"Mysteries are fascinating to people," Bourke said. "People are looking for the clues; people want to solve the puzzle."
The clues keep coming in the case of the Alabama officer and the convict: Details about their lives are emerging and continuing to feed audiences' cravings for answers.
Media coverage holds our attention -- even when it's disproportionate
Certainly, the constant media coverage of crimes unfolding is one reason viewers become entangled in a story: It's hard to look away from what NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik called a "vicious cycle" of coverage through nonfiction series or live reporting on cable news.
But the cases that get heavier media attention are often focused on a particular demographic of victim. The 2021 case of Petito and Laundrie took off, many argued, because she was a blonde White woman, just as audiences glommed onto the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, another blonde White woman, in 2005 and closely followed the search for suspects. Meanwhile, many missing people of color received little-to-no national coverage or continued airtime like Petito's case did.
"These are subjective choices to elevate them to national attention, and it's also hinged on the idea that the default of who -- somebody that you're going to want to know about is going to be somebody White and female," Folkenflik said on NPR.
It's a twisted form of escapism
In the same way that some true crime enthusiasts fancy themselves amateur, independent investigators, some are drawn in by watching someone else make an extreme choice, like going on the run with a criminal, Vicary said.
Leaving a stable job for a convict is a major deviation from societal norms, Bourke said.
"It's that fall from grace," he said. "What makes someone like that go bad? There's a magnetism, a pull toward things that are so aberrant, so out of our realm of normality that we're intrigued by it."
Deep down, "a lot of people wonder how they could also 'escape' their everyday lives and start over," Vicary said, which may very well play a part in why these stories hold our attention. But while it may be tempting to consider going on the run and developing a new identity, she noted that fugitive stories "usually don't have a happy ending."

There was a big milestone for Sarah Doherty, who participated in her first ever half marathon at the London Landmarks Half.
The London Landmarks Half is a closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster. Runners pass many famous landmarks including Nelson’s Column, the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye.
Sarah, along with her partner Martin Sales, ran for Guide Dogs and raised over £880: “Six years ago, Martin had a stroke which left him with permanent visual impairment. The Eastbourne Blind Society have been hugely supportive and shortly after having his stroke, Martin took up jogging and joined the Polegate Plodders,” she said.
“It took some time for me to catch the running bug too but Saturday morning jaunts at Eastbourne parkrun certainly helped. Having got our own pet dog earlier this year, we know first-hand how much he has lifted our spirits. How special must it be for those with visual impairment to have a trusted and loyal friend?”
In perfect running conditions – cloudy, sunny and a slight breeze – Sarah came through in 2 hours 24 mins and 49 seconds, 15 minutes quicker than her aim of 2 hours 40. Martin was a second back in 2:24:50.
“The support at the start was subdued but got going eventually; at 9 miles the Guide Dogs Stand gave us a huge wave and shout out. There were loads of bands, singers and choirs on route,” she said.
“Since testing positive for Covid over Christmas, I have suffered with bad sciatica and it kicked in quite early on in the race; I was very emotional at the end after realising I had beaten my aim by more than 15 minutes.”
Sarah had a few special people to thank after crossing the line: “Sue Fry for getting my body in shape beforehand with a thorough massage, Martin for his incredible continued support and the Pawleys who made a weekend of it with us – Ben was participating and Debs volunteered at the finish line, dressed as Henry 8th,”
“As I was so consumed at the end with my emotions, I missed her but she has been fantastic.
Going forward, Sarah wants to concentrate on improving her 5k and 10k times: “I am not keen on the longer distances because the training is too time consuming, huge kudos to any runners that want to do another 13 miles for a full marathon,” she said.
Despite feeling unprepared and apprehensive due to an ankle injury, Helen Blewitt came through in 2:04:05. She raised over £400 for Epilepsy Society: “The support from the crowds was super, choirs, bands and raves throughout; I would highly recommend this lively event.”
For Liam Brooks, it was his third half in 29 days following Eastbourne and Hastings. He finished in a time of 1:37:34, his second fastest half marathon. His fastest coming in 2018.
Further down south on the same weekend, Marco Fortmann participated in the Goodwood Motor Circuit Marathon and finished in 4:25:55.
To conclude April, three Plodders competed in the Rathfinny 10k at the world-famous wine estate in Alfriston. Runners had to endure hot conditions over hilly but beautiful terrain. Following on from her London Landmarks exploits, Helen Blewitt finished in 1:14:1. Nikki Loats in 1:07:41 and Shauni Wells 1:45:10. | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/other-sport/london-race-attracts-plenty-of-plodders-3681692 | 2022-05-07T08:46:35Z | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/other-sport/london-race-attracts-plenty-of-plodders-3681692 | true | 1 |
They played a full part in front of a record-breaking crowd of more than 22,000 watching Newcastle United Women play at St James’ Park for the first time.
And there is strong belief that the publicity it has generated will help women’s football kick on in Northumberland.
Alnwick Town Ladies manager Peter Hately said: “It’s massive for women’s football in the North East. There is no question the publicity from this match will encourage others to get into it.”
He admitted it was ‘a pretty surreal’ weekend as it became clear a bumper crowd was gathering, resulting in a 15-minute delay to kick-off to allow spectators queuing outside the stadium to be admitted.
Peter said: "I spent some time with the staff of Newcastle United throughout the week and we both hoped it might get a crowd of up to 10,000 but to get over 22,000 is just incredible for a fourth tier women’s match. We’re not talking WSL (Women’s Super League) here.”
Indeed the 22,134 gate for Sunday’s FA Women’s National League Division One North clash pulled in more spectators than the men’s Premier League fixture between Watford and Burnley a day earlier.
Although Alnwick went down to a 4-0 defeat, Peter was proud of the way his team handled the occasion.
"It’ll be a day they remember for the rest of their lives,” he said.
“The whole day from start to finish was fantastic from being in the dressing rooms to walking out on the pitch to Local Hero and the unfurling of a huge banner at the Gallowgate End. Newcastle did a great job in promoting the game and treated us superbly.
"The result wasn’t what we wanted but I thought the girls handled the occasion very well. In the first half in particular we kept a good shape and even though we didn’t have a lot of possession we made it difficult for them.
"They have put Alnwick Town on the map, not just the ladies team but the whole football club.”
He has been involved with the team since it was formed in 2017 on the back of the club’s success in setting up several girls age group teams.
“This is our fifth season and we’ve seen the appetite for women’s football grow hugely in that time,” said Peter.
“We set up a ladies team so the girls had somewhere to carry on after finishing age group football.
"We’ve got lots of girls playing age group football now and the Foundation are doing lots of great work at Greensfield so participation levels are continuing to grow.”
Organisers of this summer’s Berwick’s Charities Cup are also hosting a mini-tournament for women’s teams for the first time, with Alnwick Town Ladies among the entrants.
Three of Alnwick Town’s under 10 girls team – Izzy mole, Gracie-Mae Arkle, and Immy Rickaby – were also lucky enough to have their names drawn from a hat to have the privilege to walk out with the ladies.
Alnwick Town Ladies round off their season at home to Bradford on Sunday at 2pm. | https://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/people/womens-football-in-the-north-east-set-to-kick-on-after-huge-success-of-alnwick-match-3681070 | 2022-05-07T08:51:06Z | https://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/people/womens-football-in-the-north-east-set-to-kick-on-after-huge-success-of-alnwick-match-3681070 | true | 1 |

Wanda and Vision had such a love for one another that Marvel had to create a show just for the two characters, even if one of them was technically deceased.
It would seem that the actors care a great deal for each other as well, with Elizabeth Olsen stating she would love to work with co-star Paul Bettany once again. With the way WandaVision ended, it isn’t entirely off the cards. In an interview with ComicBook, the front half of the titular duo expressed her desire to continue their ongoing onscreen romance.
“Yeah! I always want to be reunited with Paul Bettany painted faces. that face is amazing.”
WandaVision has left it a little open-ended as to whether or not we will see the synthezoid again, but it may not be the version we have come to know so far. S.W.O.R.D, the governmental intelligence agency, took ownership of Vision’s now broken body and (against his own wishes) reanimated him, sans the soul stone.
The result of this was White Vision, a sentient weapon that was told to find and destroy Wanda due to the threat she and her Hex posed. White Vision is confronted by Wanda’s Vision and they battle, arguing about who is real, using the Ship of Theseus debate, with Vision eventually unlocking his opposite number’s memories.
This allows Vision to return in future MCU projects, though there has been nothing confirmed so far. Fans have pointed out his absence as a major plot hole in Sam Raimi’s sequel, but there’s no doubt an explanation coming somewhere down the line.
You can now see Wanda as she helps Stephen Strange in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, now in cinemas. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/elizabeth-olsen-would-love-to-be-reunited-with-paul-bettany-in-the-mcu/ | 2022-05-07T09:00:12Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/elizabeth-olsen-would-love-to-be-reunited-with-paul-bettany-in-the-mcu/ | true | 1 |

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday asserted that he attached 'no importance' to his administration's uncharitable assessment by Prashant Kishor, who has taken the political plunge giving up his earlier role of a backroom operator for other players.
Kumar was asked by journalists about the remarks of Kishor, popularly known as PK, who on the previous day here launched Jan Suraaj, a campaign aimed at providing a political alternative in the state which might, at a later stage, evolve into a party fighting elections.
“I give no importance to whatever somebody says. It is for you journalists to decide whether or not my administration has been able to meet expectations,” said Kumar with a smirk.
Kishor had contended that Kumar's administration had brought in economic growth but did not succeed in propelling Bihar for a great leap forward, a reason why the state was still at the bottom of the country in terms of various development indices.
Incidentally, Kishor had also handled Kumar's campaign for the 2015 assembly polls and, upon a huge success at the hustings, was later rewarded by the latter as he was appointed as an advisor to the chief minister -- a cabinet rank post.
The chief minister, however, ducked queries about Union Home Minister Amit Shah's averment that the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act will be implemented once the COVID pandemic is over.
“This is a policy decision of the Centre which we will look into separately. As of now, our primary concern is COVID cases are again on the rise and protecting people against the fresh surge is our priority,” said Kumar.
The CAA has been a thorny issue for Kumar's Janata Dal-United which voted in favour of the bill proposing expedited citizenship for non-Muslims fleeing Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan because of “religious prosecution” but has been opposed to a nationwide NRC which the BJP keeps pressing for as a subsequent measure.
Kishor, who had by then been inducted into the JD-U and elevated to the post of national vice-president, had adopted a strident stance on the issue of CAA and NRC.
It ultimately brought him into conflict with Kumar, who then headed the party, and culminated in his expulsion from JD-U.
Kumar was also asked about the power crisis which has resulted from a decline in coal supplies.
“We will make all possible efforts to alleviate the situation. This crisis is very widespread,” replied the chief minister. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/nitish-rubbishes-former-advisor-pks-rating-of-his-govts-performance/20220506.htm | 2022-05-07T09:26:42Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/nitish-rubbishes-former-advisor-pks-rating-of-his-govts-performance/20220506.htm | false | 5 |

LONDON: Pakistan quicks Mohammad Abbas and Mohammad Amir dominated the second day of an English County Championship match between Hampshire and Gloucestershire on Friday.
Abbas produced superb line and length bowling, taking six wickets for 45 runs as hosts Hampshire reduced Gloucestershire to 124 for nine on the second day of four at Southampton.
However, Ajeet Singh Dale and Jared Warner then added 55 for the last wicket to reduce the deficit to 163.
Then Amir, bowling for Gloucestershire, carried on where his compatriot had left off in a superb spell of three for 11 as Hampshire slumped to 28 for four in their second innings at stumps in this First Division clash.
The south coast side, however, still had a lead of 191 runs. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/415536-pakistans-abbas-and-amir-star-in-english-county-clash | 2022-05-07T09:41:40Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/415536-pakistans-abbas-and-amir-star-in-english-county-clash | true | null |

CS Victims: Credit Suisse faces another lawsuit alleging trust failures and political pressure
LONDON, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the ongoing failures at Green Vals Trust, the beneficiaries have filed a lawsuit in the Guernsey Court alleging significant failures and political pressure by the Trustee appointed by Credit Suisse. The lawsuit was the result of serious violations of the Trustee's obligations concerning the management of the beneficiaries' assets and disregarding the lawful interests of the client. The beneficiaries had raised those breaches a number of times in letters sent to the Trustee, which also confirmed that the Trust had been proposed and instituted by Credit Suisse to protect the interests of the beneficiaries and ensure disbursement as required.
On 4thMarch 2022, the beneficiaries requested a disbursement which the Trustee authorized only on 4th of April 2022, causing financial damage to the beneficiaries. During that time, the Trustee made unreasonable requests for information and referenced the "geopolitical environment in Eastern Europe" as justification for the delay, thereby failing to operate its primary function – managing the trust assets in the best interests of the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries have no links to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and have not been subject to any sanctions. Bidzina Ivanishvili, the former Prime Minister of Georgia, holds dual nationality with France and Georgia only, is not and cannot be in any manner related to the list of sanctioned organizations and individuals. This information is publicly available and yet the Trustee failed to make even basic checks and suggests that Mr. Ivanishvili has not only been discriminated against by the Trust but is also subject to a campaign of political pressure by Credit Suisse.
The failed instruction of 4thMarch 2022 was not an isolated case. The same methods were utilized following the client's instruction of 14thApril 2022, when the client issued written instructions for a further distribution of funds and included information to address outstanding issues. Despite this, the disbursement remains outstanding in violation of the rights of the beneficiaries. The assets managed by the Trustee and the amounts, which were to be distributed, are not related to any of the legal disputes or their outcomes; these assets are separate financial structures.
A spokesperson for Mr. Ivanishvili commented:
"Mr. Ivanishvili is extremely unhappy by how his assets continue to be managed. In fact, we are in a situation when the actions of the Trustee are in total conflict with the purpose and principles of the Trust. The reality is that the actions of the Trustee are contradictory, having no economic rationale and establishing a dangerous precedent. This position of the beneficiaries was clearly established in letters of 14th and 29thApril 2022, while the latter was never responded to by the Trustee as it is clear it has nothing left to say. It is most interesting that the Bank is linking its actions or inactions to international politics, taking the form of political pressure or whether this has been driven by other factors. The client has his own explanation for this development and will provide details in due course. This is unrelated to the court disputes between the client and the bank or with the results thereof – the outcomes of the legal disputes are mostly clear and foreseeable."
The global litigation initiated by Mr. Ivanishvili against Credit Suisse and its units has been progressing for many years. On 29thMarch 2022, the Supreme Court of Bermuda handed down its judgement, fully granting the claims of the Plaintiffs, including Mr. Ivanishvili and his family. It is noteworthy that the Court of Singapore will consider the next chapter of the dispute in September 2022. Considering the similarity between the two cases, it is likely that Mr. Ivanishvili's claims will prove successful.
In addition, Mr. Ivanishvili is continuing to publicize his efforts to seek redress, the purpose of which is to inform the public of the proper assessment of the matter. In the coming weeks, Mr. Ivanishvili is intending to organize a series of press conferences for the international media. These will demonstrate in detail, how Credit Suisse and, in general, the Swiss banking system operate and how unprotected any client could be when investing in the Swiss finance sector. In addition, they will detail what type of investment products are offered to clients for managing investments, including trust structures which restrict the rights of clients and beneficiaries; and how the 'goodwill' of trustees can limit and even prevent access to disbursements. How the Swiss regulator – FINMA – has no effective tools to prevent gross violations in the Swiss banking system; how the Swiss Prosecutors' Office protects the Banks and is unable to hold them to account, instead bring charges only against one individual, described as a 'lone wolf.' The Swiss Judiciary, which ordered the Bank to repay funds confirmed as stolen to clients only once the funds had been recovered from third parties while the Prosecutor had already indicated that the funds should have been returned by the Bank. Despite this, the Bank has not repaid the stolen funds, arguing that these need to be recovered from third persons, including the deceased Relationship Manager.
Mr. Ivanishvili will dedicate each of the meetings with the media to each of the above topics and will break down the myths associated with so-called untainted image of Swiss banking and the judiciary. Alongside with the said topics, Mr. Ivanishvili will specifically speak regarding the recent political pressure and what he has discovered about the Bank and the Trustee.

NATIONAL SUMMARY
A rainstorm will move from the central Appalachians to the
mid-Atlantic coast today. The steadiest rain will taper off

will persist through Mother's Day. Dry weather is forecast
to linger over northern New England and expand over the
Great Lakes region as showers and thunderstorms push across
Florida. A heat wave will begin over Texas and the southern
Plains as more temperate air holds over the North Central
states. As dry air and locally gusty winds in the Southwest
continue, the wildfire risk will remain high. As rain and
snow push inland in the Northwest, an even colder storm will
approach from the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.

Voters will decide on Saturday whether incumbent Mark Loffgren or challenger April Butler will occupy the Victoria City Council Super District 6 seat moving forward.
The county elections offices close at 7 p.m.
Loffgren has dueled against Butler, a businesswoman, for the seat. Loffgren, who has held the office since 2019, said competition reminds candidates of what to focus on for their voters.
Super District 6 encompasses districts 3 and 4, generally the northern half of the city, to the north and west of Houston Highway and Sam Houston Drive.
"I think the city is going in the right direction and I'm proud of that," Loffgren, 73, said. Since being elected to the council, Loffgren has focused on repairing local roadways and cutting taxpayer debt.
"Things are going good, but I'm glad the election is going to be over," he said.
As his father served in the U.S. Air Force, Loffgren grew up in England and France and taught for the University of California education system. He was recruited to work at H-E-B store in Victoria, where he worked for a quarter-century before retiring as the store director.
Butler, 48, brings 20 years of customer service experience to the race. She is owner of the Wood House Day Spa in Victoria and the "I Fix Computers Guy" information technology company.
A focus of her campaign has been making the actions of the city council more transparent so voters will have a better understanding of the issues facing the city.
Butler's campaign has focused on the council's use of tax money and ways to benefit current residents as well as future ones.
She has tried to visit all the constituents in her district, joking Friday that she needed more comfortable shoes.
"Win or lose, it's been a heck of a ride," Butler said.
She said meeting with so many residents, as well as taking phone calls from them and exchanging email, made her aware of the many concerns locals had.
"It's all about what the voters want," Butler said. "For the most part, I tried to hit every single neighborhood in my district. I really have enjoyed meeting all the people."
With a current focus on bringing more business to Victoria, a planned expansion of U.S. 59 into Interstate 69 would create a transportation route from Mexico to Canada, Loffgren said. This could benefit Victoria as a hub for all the traffic passing through the county.
While downtown Victoria has received attention for revitalization, Butler said the council had to realize that the rest of the city needed attention as well.
If Victoria wants to be a strong community, she said, it has to retain existing businesses as well as focus on public safety so residents feel safe. | https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/election_central/loffgren-faces-challenge-from-businesswoman-april-butler-in-city-district-6-race/article_460476b2-cd53-11ec-8db8-ff167006ed52.html | 2022-05-07T09:54:15Z | https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/election_central/loffgren-faces-challenge-from-businesswoman-april-butler-in-city-district-6-race/article_460476b2-cd53-11ec-8db8-ff167006ed52.html | true | 1 |
HONG KONG (AP) — China is installing a career security official as the new leader of Hong Kong in the culmination of a sweeping political transformation that has gutted any opposition in the Asian financial center and placed it ever more firmly under Beijing’s control.
John Lee, formerly the city’s No. 2 official, is the only candidate Sunday in what is an election in name only. Well over half of the 1,500-member Election Committee that selects the chief executive has already endorsed him and he needs only a simple majority to win.
Speaking to supporters Friday, Lee acknowledged that Hong Kong has deep-rooted problems and reiterated his intention to bring a “results-oriented” approach.
“Hong Kong has to seize its opportunity, we cannot afford to wait, we cannot be late,” the 64-year-old former police officer said. “We will have to consolidate Hong Kong as an international city, to develop Hong Kong’s potential as a free and open society, to connect the mainland of China and the world.”
Lee will replace Carrie Lam on July 1. Her 5-year term was marked by Hong Kong’s most tumultuous period since the former British colony was returned to China in 1997.
The election follows major changes to Hong Kong’s electoral laws last year to ensure that only “patriots” loyal to Beijing can hold office. That also saw the legislature reorganized to all but eliminate opposition voices.
The elaborate arrangements surrounding the pre-determined outcome speak to Beijing’s desire for a veneer of democracy. Though they will vote in a secret ballot, Hong Kong’s electors have all been carefully vetted.
“Even autocracies today feel obligated to go through the motions of staging an election in order to project greater legitimacy to their own population and to the international community,” said Yvonne Chiu, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College who has written extensively about Hong Kong politics.
The city’s previous four chief executives were also all effectively Beijing appointees. A push to elect the leader by popular vote foundered in 2014 amid protests demanding Beijing also relinquish the right to approve candidates.
Lee’s rise grew out of massive pro-democracy protests in 2019 that spiraled into violent clashes. As security secretary, he led the campaign to confront protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets, then rounded many of them up for arrest later.
Lam implemented Beijing’s orders and was widely seen as the face of the crackdown. But the career bureaucrat still seemed out of step with China’s hardline president and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping.
For her successor, Beijing opted for Lee, a former top police official and staunch advocate of the new National Security Law that outlaws subversion, secession, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces. More than 150 activists and others have been arrested since its implementation.
Following passage of the law in 2020, the United States sanctioned Lee, Lam and other Hong Kong and mainland Chinese government officials, for “undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy and restricting the freedom of expression or assembly.”
Almost all government critics have been jailed, fled abroad or been intimidated into silence. Thousands of residents have voted with their feet, with many professionals and others leaving the city of 7.4 million people.
Lee has tried to soften his public image since emerging as the sole candidate for chief executive. He started his brief remarks Friday with a childhood anecdote that evoked his humble origins, describing his father saving money to buy a television, and family and neighbors gathering to watch it.
“Back then, it wasn’t an easy thing to buy a TV set,” he said. “In general, it was already not bad if you had a radio. So we were very happy, every time after eating, we would sit down and feel the warmth of togetherness watching TV.”
The intensity of the 2019 protests appeared to have caught Beijing by surprise, prompting the imposition of the National Security Law the following year and the reorganization of the legislature to put pro-Beijing forces firmly in charge in 2021.
Among the unintended effects has been the further alienation of Taiwan, the self-governing island democracy China claims as its territory. Beijing’s crackdown was seen as a major factor ensuring the re-election in 2020 of pro-independence President Tsai Ing-wen.
While Lee has said he would boost Hong Kong’s competitiveness to ensure it remains “a gateway and bridge between our country and the world,” his selection leaves little question that maintaining political stability is the priority.
That could come at the expense of Hong Kong’s reputation as a safe place to do business with a clear regulatory structure and independent judiciary. Britain has removed two judges who had been appointed to Hong Kong’s top court to ensure rule of law, saying their presence was “no longer tenable” because of increasingly oppressive laws enacted by China.
China’s long-ruling Communist Party maintains that stability sets the stage for economic growth and development.
Hong Kong’s once thriving free press has taken a beating, with the pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily shuttered and its founder, Jimmy Lai, in jail.
Public broadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong has been brought to heel, and Hong Kong plummeted 80 places in the Reporters Without Borders 2022 World Press Freedom Index. The local Foreign Correspondents Club canceled its annual Human Rights Press Awards this year over national security concerns.
Fearing political repercussions, universities have cut ties with their student organizations, while the government has severed relations with the largest teacher’s union.
People in Hong Kong still have greater freedoms than their counterparts in mainland China, but any hopes for greater democracy have been snuffed out and replaced by concern that the city is increasingly becoming like other Chinese cities, albeit one that is “a good place for everyone to pretend that it’s just business as usual with China,” Chiu said.

TEDPIX gains 14,000 points on Saturday
TEHRAN- TEDPIX, the main index of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE), rose 14,078 points to 1.543 million on Saturday (the first day of Iranian calendar week).
As reported, over 8.257 billion securities worth 54.682 trillion rials (about $200 million) were traded at the TSE.
The first market’s index rose 12,018 points, and the second market’s index gained 23,074 points.
TEDPIX rose 145,000 points (10.5 percent) in the past Iranian month Farvardin, the first month of the Iranian calendar year (March 21-April 20).
A capital market expert said that the Iranian economy is expected to experience significant growth in the next two years, adding: "This will be a good thing for the capital market and we will see a positive effect on the market as well."
In an interview with IRNA on April 25, Hamid Mir-Moeini pointed to the return of growth to the trend of stock exchange transactions and the factors affecting it, saying: “After the downward trend in the past [Iranian calendar] year (ended on March 20), the capital market finally returned to an uptrend in the last days of the year, paving the way for some optimism in the market for the current year.”
“The resumption of growth in the stock exchange transactions over the last week of Esfand (last month of the Iranian calendar year) was due to the optimism that was influenced by the nuclear talks and this event affected the whole market,” he added.

Cost of dying puts low-income families thousands of dollars in debt
The cost of dying is causing low income families to fall months behind on rent, struggle to pay for food, and take on thousands of dollars in debt.
At least 300 people a year contact the Citizen’s Advice Bureau for advice about how to stretch overdrawn budgets to meet funeral costs. Some of them end up breaking KiwiSaver, while others take on loans they can’t sustain, or default on other payments.
Ben Rauhihi’s (Ngāti Pikiao, Te Arawa, Ngāti Raukawa) brother died two months ago and financial stress now keeps him up at night. He took on debt – $3279 – to pay for the funeral.
"I barely sleep. The money weighs heavily on my mind," the Lower Hutt man said.

At $5560, the funeral was modest. The bill covered things like transport, embalming, dressing, and a coffin. Extended family pooled together money for the cremation – about $650 – but the majority of the bill, in Rauhihi’s name, remains unpaid.
That’s despite him accessing the maximum funeral hardship grant from Work and Income – $2280, or about 41% of the total bill.
“Somehow, I’ve got to try and find the extra money,” he said. “I haven’t had the chance to mourn yet.”
However, with the bill still unpaid, he was charged another $500 in interest on Friday.

Citizen’s Advice Bureau national adviser Sacha Green said funeral arrangements were costly and put families in dire situations.
“Even if they are eligible for the grant, there’s often a sizeable gap between that and the actual cost of the funeral,” Green said.
The cost of a simple funeral ranges between $6000 and $8000, with Consumer New Zealand estimating the average cost at somewhere between $8000 and $10,000.
It’s a gap which some have urged the Government to close. Leading the charge are the Funeral Directors Association (FDA), who say the grant hasn’t increased since 2003, outside of minor Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments.
“It’s supposed to cover a whole lot of costs that it actually doesn’t,” chief executive Gillian Boyes said.
She proposed a simple solution – upping the grant to $6300. Such an increase, Boyes contends, has precedent in the ACC funeral provision for those who die due to injury. “Why can’t poor people get what a person who dies from an injury gets?”
And, yet, despite years of lobbying, the Ministry of Social Development had been noncommittal, she said.
The Ministry’s client service delivery director Graham Allpress said the grant was “not intended to cover the whole cost” of a funeral.
CPI adjustments, meanwhile, had resulted in a 47% increase to the grant since 2003, he said.
Others argue excessive increases risk simply transferring wealth from the Government to the funeral industry.
Consumer New Zealand chief executive Jon Duffy said an increase would be a boon for the industry and mourners alike.
“Both parties would stand to benefit,” Duffy said. Offering a bigger grant, however, would mean fewer people were forced to “skimp on funerals”.
Green supported increasing the grant, but hoped “some broader thinking” might shake up the status quo of the funeral industry.
New Zealand might look overseas for inspiration, she suggested, with not-for-profit funeral services emerging as a “transparent, low-cost option” in Australia and the UK.
Duffy also referred to “a perceived lack of transparency” across the industry, and suggested directors itemise costs to ensure people weren’t caught out by unexpected invoices. People should also be wary of funeral insurance – as premiums sometimes added up to more than the cost of a funeral over time.
Tighter regulation of the industry is a contentious topic. A recent Ministry of Health review was welcomed by some in the field, and led to assertions of “dodgy operators” from others.
Boyes rubbished claims funeral directors prey on people as “a myth”. Costs had gone up, and this was unavoidable, she said. Wood for caskets was more expensive, for instance, and chemicals used for embalming had also gone up due to offshore delays.
The FDA’s members – who conduct about 75% of funerals around the country – had to provide “a written estimate of costs”, and advise the bereaved if they changed, Boyes said.
Cemeteries and crematoriums were typically managed by councils, with prices also trending upwards. The cost of burial plots went up 23% between 2014 and 2021, with the cost of cremations going up 27% over the same period.
Only last month Wellington City Council proposed numerous cost of dying fee increases.
Rauhihi’s friend had applied for a loan to help settle the bill, and avoid further interest charges. Even if that application were successful, Rauhihi believed repaying his friend might take years – as it is, he has only $43 a week left after paying rent and other bills.
He worried about the future as well. A second brother had just been given “one month to live”, while a third was in bad health.
Rauhihi wanted the Government to increase the funeral hardship grant, along with bolstering other kinds of income support, and ensuring low-wage workers, like himself, earned “a living wage”.
Trevor Paul (Ngāti Pikiao, Te Arawa) died from a heart attack, on March 12.
He was a famous face around Wellington’s inner-city streets for several decades – known as Koro to some, and “the grandfather of Wellington’s homeless” to others.
His early life was hard, and that led him later in life to altruism. He helped out at The Compassion Soup Kitchen, and ran a music programme in Berhampore.
“I’ve never heard anyone play guitar like my brother – and I guess I never will,” Rauhihi said. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/128515278/cost-of-dying-puts-lowincome-families-thousands-of-dollars-in-debt | 2022-05-07T10:06:37Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/128515278/cost-of-dying-puts-lowincome-families-thousands-of-dollars-in-debt | true | 1 |

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has revealed that the club could have made a couple of transfers during the January transfer window only for the board to deny making a move. The Red Devils in absence of Cristiano Ronaldo are currently lacking a goalscoring option. While Anthony Martial has been sent on loan, Cavani and Rashford have struggled to score, whereas Mason Greenwood is missing after being suspended on suspicion of rape, assault and threats to kill.
Rangnick, while speaking to reporters, stated that he had asked the club to land a striker and zeroed down on Dusan Vlahovic, who has now ended up at Juventus. The other target he spoke about was Luis Diaz - now at Liverpool - and incoming Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez.
He said: "The answer at the time was no, there was no player on the market that could really help us. [But] there were a few: Diaz who is now at Liverpool, Alvarez who will be at Manchester City in the summer, Vlahovic who at the time still was with Fiorentina. Those are just three of them that come across my mind now."
He further added, "We had four days off at the time and on Sunday I was informed about the issues with Mason Greenwood and obviously Anthony Martial had already left and then I was aware that within four days we had some strikers missing and it might make sense. We were still in three competitions - Champions League, FA Cup and fourth in the league, but that's in the past and it doesn't help us anymore".
"I spoke to the board and said 'shouldn't we at least speak and try and analyse if we could get a player either on loan or as a permanent deal', but in the end, the answer was no. I still believe that we should have at least tried. If we would've found and been able in 48 hours, 48 hours is short notice but it's still 48 hours. It might have been worth trying and internally discussing but we didn't and it was not done."
Erik ten Hag will be taking over the Manchester United reigns from Ralf Rangnick next season and the outgoing manager is hoping that the Dutch tactician will be fixing the problems next season. He said, "If there is a good thing about the poor season we had so far it is that everybody now should be aware how big and where the problems are, what needs to be done to raise the level again and to be a serious title contender again. This is what it's all about. To me, it's obvious what needs to be done, this is what is most important," | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/football-news/luis-diaz-alvarez-vlahovic-rangnick-reveals-man-united-said-no-to-3-transfer-demands-articleshow.html | 2022-05-07T10:07:14Z | https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/football-news/luis-diaz-alvarez-vlahovic-rangnick-reveals-man-united-said-no-to-3-transfer-demands-articleshow.html | true | 1 |
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.

God's desire is for a closer relationship with us! He has done all He can do by sending Jesus to die on the cross. We are given the opportunity to be set free from our past and being restored. This is not based on our works, but only by a confession of Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
‘Are we seeking?'
He paid it all, now it is up to us to seek that peace and forgiveness provided for us. God has made it easy to get into the right relationship with Him. Psalm 105:1-4 says,
"Oh, give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!
Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!"
He’s concerned that we might not remember that we were created in ‘His image’ and wanting that closeness of being our Heavenly Father! He walked daily with Adam and Eve and that relationship was lost because of Satan deceiving them, and then sin was released upon us.
Our all knowing God, because of His love, provided us with redemption through Jesus. We now can again have conversation with Him, now being welcomed into the throne of Grace! Matthew 6:31-34 says,
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
God knows what we are in need of before we ask. Then by seeking Him we get to know Him and the love given us. However, a strong relationship is not built only on what He gives but recognizing He desires our love in return.
Let’s ask ourselves: ‘Are we seeking’ God at all, or are we seeking something other than the relationship with Him? When truly seeking God and drawing near to Him, we will cease from asking for things and begin to approach with hearts of thanksgiving!
‘Are we seeking?' If so, the rewards and blessings are available just by having faith in Him! He is the Great, ‘I AM’ (Exodus 3:14).

Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 7 issued a firm warning against the population who questioned and criticised the zero-COVID policy implemented in the country.
The move was deemed necessary because right after the outbreak, Shanghai residents took to social media to plead for help. Many people used social media platforms to vent anger against the government due to a lack of food and healthcare. This has been continuing for the past five weeks, according to a CNN report.
Supreme Politburo Standing Committee from the ruling communist party vowed to “unswervingly adhere to the general policy of ‘dynamic zero-COVID,” at a meeting held by Jinping. They also agreed to fight against any verbal protests that go against, question, or even deny the country’s policies on the prevention of the disease.
According to the state media, this is the first time that the Chinese president has made an “important speech” that contained public remarks regarding the country’s fight against COVID-19 since the public protests over the Shanghai lockdown took place.
As per government news agency Xinhua, the seven-member committee stated, “Our prevention and control strategy is determined by the party’s nature and mission, our policies can stand the test of history, our measures are scientific and effective.”
“We have won the battle to defend Wuhan, and we will certainly be able to win the battle to defend Shanghai,” the members added.
Despite this, the highly suffocating lockdown is only angering the masses, say political observers. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/xi-jinping-warns-masses-against-criticising-countrys-zero-covid-policy-8469231.html/amp | 2022-05-07T10:25:58Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/xi-jinping-warns-masses-against-criticising-countrys-zero-covid-policy-8469231.html/amp | false | 2 |
LONDON -- Britain's governing Conservatives suffered local election losses Friday in their few London strongholds and other parts of the United Kingdom -- a barometer of public opinion ahead of Britain's next national election, which must be held by 2024.
Voting held Thursday for thousands of seats on more than 200 local councils decided who will oversee garbage collection and the filling of potholes.
The left-of-center opposition Labour Party, which has been out of power nationally since 2010, won control of Wandsworth, Barnet and Westminster, three London boroughs long held by the Conservatives, and also made gains in Wales and Scotland, as well as some regions of England.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's party also lost ground to the centrist Liberal Democrats in the Conservatives' southern England heartlands, where many middle-class voters are opposed to Brexit -- a cause Johnson championed -- and dismayed by lockdown rule-breaking by the prime minister and sexual misconduct allegations against other senior Tories.
With results in from most districts in England, Scotland and Wales, the Conservatives had lost more than 450 council seats and lost control of 10 local authorities to either Labour or the Liberal Democrats.
"We are hemorrhaging support in parts of the country. There's some serious issues going on," said Conservative lawmaker Tobias Ellwood.
The election came months after Johnson became the first prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law in office. He was fined $62 by police for attending his own surprise birthday party in June 2020 when lockdown rules barred social gatherings.
Johnson has apologized but denies knowingly breaking the rules. He faces the possibility of more fines over other parties -- police are investigating a dozen gatherings -- and a parliamentary investigation into whether he misled lawmakers about his behavior.
The prime minister tried to shrug off the losses as midterm blues.
"We had a tough night in some parts of the country," Johnson said. "But on the other hand, in other parts of the country, you are still seeing Conservatives going forward and making quite remarkable gains in places that haven't voted Conservative for a long time, if ever."
In some comfort to the Conservatives, Labour did not make big gains outside of the capital, especially in working-class northern England -- areas that Johnson successfully wooed in the 2019 election with promises to improve local economies and opportunities after Britain's exit from the European Union.
Labour's national campaign coordinator, Shabana Mahmood, said the results showed Labour was building a solid foundation to regain power after four successive national election defeats.
Labour leader Keir Starmer said the election was "a big turning point for us."
"We've changed Labour, and now we're seeing the results of that," he said.
Under Starmer's hard-left predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, fighting between Labour's left wing and more centrist wings roiled the party, which suffered its worst election defeat in more than 80 years to Johnson's Conservatives in 2019.
In Northern Ireland, voters were electing a new 90-seat Assembly, with polls suggesting the Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein could win the largest number of seats and the post of first minister, in what would be a historic first. Full results there are not expected until today, but early returns showed Fein increasing its vote share to become the most popular party, besting the long-dominant Democratic Unionist Party.
Across the U.K., election campaigns were dominated by the increasing prices for food and fuel, which have sent household bills soaring.
Opposition parties have demanded that the Conservative government do more to ease the cost-of-living crunch -- driven by the war in Ukraine, disruptions from the covid-19 pandemic and economic aftershocks from Brexit.
The prime minister also faces discontent within his own party and the election losses could convince some Conservatives to try to replace Johnson with a less tarnished leader. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/may/07/johnsons-party-dealt-uk-election-setback/ | 2022-05-07T10:30:38Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/may/07/johnsons-party-dealt-uk-election-setback/ | false | 3 |

Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga has, once again, stolen the spotlight.
The BJP leader was arrested from his Delhi residence by the Punjab Police on Friday, 6 May, after he allegedly issued death threats to Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
After a series of events involving police officers of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, Bagga returned to Delhi in the evening, a few hours after being arrested.
You can read about the controversy in full here.
This is not, however, the first time that Bagga has raked up such a boiling controversy. So, who is Tajinder Bagga? How did he rise to fame? What are some of his most controversial moments?
The 36-year-old BJP leader, according to his Twitter bio, is a national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP.
He is also in charge of the youth wing of the Uttarakhand BJP, and a spokesperson for the Delhi BJP.
He has a huge Twitter following, with more than 9,00,000 followers. In fact, he was, in 2015, he was part of the #Super150, which was a gathering of social media influencers hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his official residence in the backdrop of the Digital India launch.
Delhi BJP Spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga arrives at his residence after being produced before the Duty Metropolitan Magistrate.
Delhi BJP Spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga arrives at his residence after being produced before the Duty Metropolitan Magistrate.
Bagga's earliest claim to fame was when he launched ‘Operation Prashant Bhushan’ in October 2011.
He was behind the attack in which a member of the Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena attacked Bhushan in his office and repeatedly slapped, punched, and kicked the lawyer in the face, and even tore his shirt while abusing him for his “separatist” remarks.
He had tweeted after the attack – “He try to break my Nation, I try to break his head. Hisab chukta. Congrats to all. Operation Prashant Bhushan successful [sic].”
Bagga again made headlines in 2011 when he barged into an event at Delhi’s India Habitat Centre and disrupted the book launch of author Arundhati Roy’s, calling her works “anti-Army and pro-Kashmir azaadi”.
He even tweeted about it proudly seven years later.
The following year, he was accused of heckling Syed Ali Shah Geelani at an event organised by the Centre for Study of Developing Studies in Delhi.
Apart from these antics, he also has a track record for spreading fake news. One instance is when, in the wake of CAA protests in Mumbai, Bagga on 5 January, posted a video on Twitter, falsely claiming that “Muslim and Leftists students in Mumbai again Raised Slogans ‘Hinduo se Aazadi’”.
Additionally, his group has defaced walls around the Pakistan High Commission, with posters demanding Balochistan's independence.
He even ordered footwear online and got it delivered to the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi to protest against the “ill- treatment” meted out to the mother and the wife of former navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, who is lodged in a jail in Pakistan.
Bagga also once put up a massive poster of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi outside the BJP headquarters, with the words, "The father of mob lynching".
Bagga is also a businessman and he runs an online store called "T-Shirt Bhaiyya", that sells illustrated T-shirts, kurtas, jackets, and even home decorations and jewellery.
He has plans to open a new business called : "Kulhad Biryani: India's First Jhatka Biryani Brand", which will act as a counterweight to Halal meat (preferred by most Muslims).

Which teeth whitening pens are best?
If you have light to medium stains on your teeth, a teeth whitening pen can help. By using one as part of your dental hygiene routine, you can remove most surface stains in as few as seven days. Some whitening pens are for those with sensitive gums, such as the Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pen, which effectively removes tough stains while still being gentle.
What to know before you buy a teeth whitening pen
Application
Teeth whitening pens are easy to use, especially if you want to remove stains on specific teeth. Before using one, brush your teeth and floss thoroughly to remove any food. Then, dry your teeth with a cotton swab or ball. From there, twist the bottom of the pen so that the whitening gel can come out and coat the brush.
Once you’ve covered the brush with the gel, brush your teeth with the whitening pen in vertical strokes. Go slowly so that you don’t miss any areas. This will help ensure even application and whitening. Avoid letting the gel come in contact with your gums as much as possible, especially if you have a sensitive mouth. If it does, use a Q-tip or cotton swab to dab it away gently.
After applying the gel, avoid drinking or eating anything for at least 30 minutes. Try to keep your mouth open for at least a couple of minutes, so no saliva gets on your teeth.
If you need to do a simple touch-up after the initial application, wait at least 10 minutes before using the pen again. If you want to reduce wait time, get a quick-drying whitening pen.
Stain removal and previous dental work
As with other home teeth whitening products, such as teeth whitening toothpaste or strips, these pens don’t work on all stains. In particular, they can’t cut through tough stains that are gray or brown. They also don’t work well on teeth that have been previously treated with things such as fillings, crowns or veneers. Depending on the ingredients, these pens can usually help combat stains caused by:
- Coffee or tea
- Soda
- Red wine
- Sports drinks
- Tomato-based foods
- Balsamic vinegar
- Smoking cigarettes
Side effects and sensitivity
Using any teeth whitening solution at home, including pens, comes with a few potential side effects. These include:
- Sore gums: This happens when the whitening gel comes in direct contact with the gums and isn’t promptly removed. It’s fairly common wherever your lips come in contact with your teeth since this causes your saliva to move the gel toward the gums. People with sensitive gums are more susceptible to this.
- Stomach or throat irritation: Ingesting large quantities of whitening gel could result in minor throat irritation or an upset stomach.
These side effects generally only occur when using whitening products that contain abrasive ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide. They’re also temporary and should clear up on their own after a day or two.
What to look for in a quality teeth whitening pen
Active ingredients
Teeth whitening pens are usually formulated with either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Both are known bleaching agents, are similarly effective and can break down concentrated stains and remove discolorations, which is why they’re found in most teeth whitening solutions.
- Hydrogen peroxide: This works more quickly than carbamide peroxide but can more easily lead to tooth and gum sensitivity.
- Carbamide peroxide: Although it works more slowly than hydrogen peroxide, this ingredient reduces the risk of tooth sensitivity.
Most whitening pens consist of between 10% and 30% of either active ingredient. The lower the concentration, the less effective the gel is on tougher stains.
Size
Pens for whitening your teeth are generally measured in fluid ounces or milliliters. Most are small at around 2 milliliters or .067 fluid ounces. Some manufacturers list how many uses you can get out of each pen, such as 20 times.
Frequency
Some teeth whitening pens are more potent than others, meaning you won’t need to use them as often. However, if you consume a lot of beverages or foods that stain the teeth, you might need to use the pen more often. When dealing with more difficult stains, use the whitening pen once in the morning and once at night.
Other teeth whitening options
Consider visiting a dentist for professional treatment if your teeth whitening pen isn’t working as well as you want it to. Some dentists recommend using an at-home solution in conjunction with the professional one.
If you don’t want to go to a dentist, here are some other over-the-counter solutions:
- Teeth whitening strips that use the same active ingredients but stay on the teeth longer for more effective results
- Teeth whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush to cut down on food and stains
- Teeth whitening kits with gel and trays you can wear on your upper and bottom teeth to whiten them
How much you can expect to spend on a teeth whitening pen
The price depends on such factors as the number of pens included in the pack and their size, but most whitening pens for your teeth cost $10-$25.
Teeth whitening pens FAQ
Do these pens come in any flavors?
A. There aren’t a lot of options when it comes to flavors. Most come with either a neutral or minty taste.
Can teeth whitening pens do long-term damage to your teeth?
A. Generally, any side effects from using teeth whitening solutions are temporary and disappear once you stop using them. If they do not go away, consult a doctor immediately.

Before Democrats and Republicans — and Libertarians and independents — can face each other in the November general election, the two major parties must choose which specific candidates will carry their banner in that election.
Democrats and Republicans voting in the May 24 primary election are spoiled for choice. Conservatives energized by their opposition to President Joe Biden’s administration and Democrats eager to build on the gains their party has made over the past couple elections have flocked to the race, creating several crowded primaries.
But the May 24 election is not just about choosing party nominees. Cobb voters in west Cobb, east Cobb and Vinings are being asked whether they want to incorporate. Last week, the Marietta Daily Journal published a voter’s guide to cityhood that included maps of the proposed cities and answers to frequently asked questions about how incorporation might affect residents’ taxes, service delivery and more.
There are also several nonpartisan races on the ballot. Statewide, three state Supreme Court justices and three state Court of Appeals judges are seeking reelection, though only Justice Verda Colvin has drawn a challenger.
In Cobb, Superior Court Chief Judge Rob Leonard is facing two challengers, while five are jostling for the open seat held by retiring Superior Court Judge Robert Flournoy. Other Cobb judges seeking reelection are doing so unopposed.
In Smyrna’s Ward 2, voters will choose someone to fill the City Council seat vacated earlier this year by former Councilman Austin Wager, who left to take a job with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.
Early voting began Monday, and will run until May 20, the Friday before Election Day.
The GOP
On the Republican side, incumbents up and down the ticket are facing a slew of primary challengers, many who have been pushed by former President Donald Trump to avenge his loss in the November 2020 presidential election.
Most prominent among them is former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who is challenging incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. Although courts have found such allegations meritless, Perdue and other Trump-backed candidates believe the November 2020 presidential election was stolen from the former president, and that Republican leaders who oversaw that election were complicit in its theft.
“(Kemp) let it happen,” Perdue said in the most recent gubernatorial debate, referring to election fraud. “He denied it happened. He’s covering it up.”
Incumbent Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger crossed Trump in early January of last year when he refused in a taped phone conversation to try to “find” the votes necessary for Trump to overcome his loss in Georgia to Democrat Joe Biden. Raffensperger is also facing primary challengers who believe his office did not do enough to investigate claims of voter fraud.
Known across the state for his exploits on the football field, former UGA star Herschel Walker leads the pack of Republicans seeking the party’s nomination and a shot at unseating incumbent U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, in November. Also in the race are Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black and veteran Latham Saddler, who have argued that Walker’s lack of political experience and run-ins with the police would spell his — and their party’s — doom in November.
Nine Republicans are running for the 6th Congressional District, three are running for the 13th and five are trying to dethrone Republican incumbent Marjorie Taylor Greene in the 14th.
In state Senate District 37, which covers a large swath of northwest Cobb and part of Bartow County, three Republicans are trying to succeed retiring Sen. Lindsey Tippins: Georgia Board of Education member Scott Johnson, Ed Setzler, a state representative from Acworth; and David Delk, the metro Atlanta director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Two seats on Cobb’s governing board, the Board of Commissioners, are up for reelection this year. In west Cobb, incumbent commissioner Keli Gambrill is running unopposed. In northeast Cobb, incumbent JoAnn Birrell is facing a primary challenge from attorney Judy Sarden.
The Democrats
Atop the Democratic ballot are gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, each facing little to no opposition. Down ballot, however, the races get crowded.
Nine Democrats are running for lieutenant governor, including state Rep. Erick Allen, D-Smyrna. Five are running for secretary of state, including Michael Owens, former chair of the Cobb Democratic Committee.
Three Democrats are running to become Georgia’s next insurance commissioner, five to become its next labor commission and four to become its next state school superintendent, including Cobb Board of Education member Dr. Jaha Howard and former state Rep. Alicia Thomas Searcy, D-Austell.
State Senate District 6 is up for grabs, with incumbent Jen Jordan, a Democrat, seeking the attorney general position this year. Democrats Jason Esteves and Luisa Wakeman have qualified to run in that race.
In state Senate District 38, which covers part of Fulton County and south Cobb, three candidates — Melody Bray, Michael Carson and Adam Petty — are seeking to unseat incumbent Sen. Horacena Tate, D-Atlanta.
Five are running for the open seat in state House District 39, which covers Mableton and the Six Flags area in south Cobb: Terry Cummings, Monica Delancy, Deborah Johnson, Wanda Lesteranthony and Tamarre Pierre.
Two Democrats are vying for the solicitor general position in Cobb. The solicitor general’s office prosecutes misdemeanors and other low-level offenses, and Chris Lanning, Cobb’s chief assistant solicitor general, has racked up endorsements from Cobb Sheriff Craig Owens, Cobb Attorney General Flynn Broady and Cobb Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Lisa Cupid, among others.
FinTech executive and Smyrna resident Andres Sandate and teacher Becky Sayler, of south Cobb, are running to replace Howard on the Cobb Board of Education. | https://www.mdjonline.com/elections/cobb-voters-spoiled-for-choice-in-crowded-primary-elections/article_dad45130-cb06-11ec-b541-c7b1e8d93709.html | 2022-05-07T10:43:58Z | https://www.mdjonline.com/elections/cobb-voters-spoiled-for-choice-in-crowded-primary-elections/article_dad45130-cb06-11ec-b541-c7b1e8d93709.html | true | 1 |
Which boho comforter set is best?
If you’re considering changing up the look of your bed, a boho comforter set is a bold choice. Bohemian style mixes loose and layered fabrics with new and old pieces. It also gives you the freedom to blend rich colors and textures to your liking. The rule is that there are no rules.
A top pick is the CozyTide Three-Piece Boho Comforter Set With Tassels, which is luxuriously soft and comes in green, white or taupe.
What to know before you buy a boho comforter set
Boho style defined
Boho, short for bohemian, erupted as a counterculture after the French Revolution. It evolved from low-income but often well-traveled artists who pieced together wardrobes from old, new and recycled items.
While the iconoclastically nomadic style derived from necessity, it has withstood the test of time and is still popular today. Contemporary boho design is considered chic at any price range, and you can add as much or as little of it to your decor as you want.

Many boho comforter sets feature delicate decorations such as braiding, tassels and lace, which can easily fall off or get damaged in your washing machine or dryer. Follow the included care instructions when you purchase your boho comforter set to ensure that it lasts and remains intact.
Included items
The average boho comforter set includes one comforter and two pillow shams. If you want more pieces, it would be a good idea to search for a bed in a bag boho comforter set. They typically include seven or more items, such as a sheet set, pillow shams and a comforter.
What to look for in a quality boho comforter set
Material types
When you pick out your boho comforter set, consider whether you are a hot or a cold sleeper. If you often get hot and toss blankets off your bed at night, you might want to reach for a lighter, natural fabric such as bamboo, cotton or linen. Go for thick wool, flannel or microfiber if you usually wake up cold and shivering.
Available sizes
Boho comforter sets are typically available in king, queen and full. However, some fantastic brands also carry less-common sizes, such as twin and California king.
Boho details
To ensure that you strike the right chord with the best boho comforter set, look for one that includes details such as loose layers, relaxed textures, macrame, braids, velvet, wrinkled linen, tassels and lace.
You also have the option to reach for a bold boho print. They are an eclectic blend that includes Eastern medallions, vintage paisley and rainbow patterns. You can also aim for retro designs of a sun setting over the hills or cacti under a mauve sky.
How much you can expect to spend on a boho comforter set
The cost of your boho comforter set will vary by brand, details, included items and material selection. Expect to pay around $60 for a synthetic material like microfiber and about $100 for a natural fabric such as cotton.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid spent the week groggy from a concussion. His busted thumb needs surgery.
MVP form? Not yet. But Embiid wore his black mask and injected the 76ers — and a skittish fanbase – with revitalized championship aspirations.
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.
“We have a good chance to win it all,” Embiid said. “We’ve got to stay healthy.”
The Heat lead the series 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia.
Wearing a hammer-tested mask, Embiid had 18 points and 11 rebounds after missing the first two games of the series 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 and tired as the game went on. 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.
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 Jimmy Butler as the only Heat in double digits. Butler led the Heat with 33 points.
“You add Jo to any team, home or away, the game, the scouting report, it changes drastically,” Butler said. “It’s been like that for his entire career.”
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.
“Even when he’s not his normal self, he helps us a ton,” Green said.
Embiid said he was cleared a day earlier and just the hope he could play had Philly buzzing. When he jogged out for warmups wearing the mask, Sixers fans roared 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.
“I knew his presence would have an impact,” Rivers said. “I was positive of that.”
He was only 5 of 12 from the floor in 36 minutes. Embiid is still playing with a right thumb ligament injury that will require offseason surgery.
“It’s about doing whatever possible to protect it as much as possible,” Embiid said.
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.
“I was really (angry) watching another big man play well against my team,” Embiid said.
Embiid had a laugh, though, after the game on social media. He tweeted a picture of “The Wire” character Stringer Bell with a quote from the scene in the show: “I want you to put the word out that we back up.”
The big man is indeed back up — and so are the 76ers.
“This is what you have to expect,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “He’s an MVP-caliber player.”

P.J. Tucker jawed at Matisse Thybulle and double technicals were called in the fourth. Tucker elbowed Thybulle to start the commotion.
“It’s funny and fun to see,” Green said. “It’s part of the game that you live for.”

HAVANA, Cuba – A deadly explosion hit a well-known hotel in downtown Havana on Friday, May 6, tearing a gash several floors high in the side of the building, killing at least 22 people and injuring upwards of 70, witnesses and state media said.
Speaking from the scene on Cuban television, President Miguel Diaz-Canel said the blast at the historic, high-end Hotel Saratoga appeared to have been caused by a gas leak.
“In no case was it a bomb or an attack,” he later told Reuters as he left the capital’s Calixto Garcia hospital, where many of the injured were treated. ‘It’s just a very unfortunate accident.”
The blast nonetheless sent a brief wave of panic through the historic old Havana neighborhood, which has gradually begun reopening to tourists after the pandemic battered the Caribbean island’s crucial travel sector.
Hundreds of Cubans and tourists alike gathered near the property under a hot sun as police cordoned off the area around the hotel. Many speculated about the cause of the blast as ambulances and rescue workers carried victims from the wreckage.
The explosion rattled a nearby school with more than 300 students in attendance, health authorities said. At least 15 children were reported injured as of late Friday evening, the health ministry said, and one child had died.
Cuba’s tourism minister, Juan Carlos Garcia, said no foreigners were killed or injured in the blast, according to initial reports.
The hotel, housed in a more than century-old building, had been closed and only workers were inside at time of the explosion, state-run TV said, citing Roberto Enrique Calzadilla, a representative of the military-run company that operates many of the country’s hotels.
In a broadcast interview, Calzadilla said the 96-room hotel had been set to re-open in the next few days and that the workers on site were making final preparations.
He also said a gas leak appeared to be the cause.
“The workers were … making repairs and doing all the work to open the property and in the morning they were resupplying the gas and it seems some accident caused an explosion,” he said.
The blast shrouded the building and surrounding streets in plumes of black smoke and dust rising from the rubble.
Police and rescue workers moved quickly to cordon off some nearby government buildings, including the historic Capitolio, or capital building.
A photo from the scene showed what appeared to be at least one body with a white cloth over it. A block from the blast, a man carried a woman screaming in pain to a clinic, as onlookers begged for information about loved ones.
The neoclassical style Saratoga Hotel was remodeled by a British company after the fall of the Soviet Union and for many years was considered the place to stay by visiting government officials and celebrities.
Recently, it had lost some of its shine with the opening of new hotels in Havana, but was still a five-star venue. – Rappler.com | https://www.rappler.com/world/latin-america/gas-leak-blamed-blast-havana-hotel-saratoga/ | 2022-05-07T11:14:52Z | https://www.rappler.com/world/latin-america/gas-leak-blamed-blast-havana-hotel-saratoga/ | false | 10 |

THE TALIBAN HAS imposed one of the harshest restrictions on Afghanistan’s women since seizing power, ordering them to wear the all-covering burqa in public.
The militants took back control of the country in August last year, promising a softer rule than their last stint in power between 1996 and 2001, which was dominated by human rights abuses.
But they have already imposed a slew of restrictions on women – banning them from many government jobs, secondary education, and from travelling alone outside their cities or Afghanistan.
Today, Afghanistan’s supreme leader and Taliban chief Hibatullah Akhundzada announced a strict dress code for women when they are in public.
“They should wear a chadori (head-to-toe burqa) as it is traditional and respectful,” said a decree in his name released by Taliban authorities at a ceremony in Kabul.
“Those women who are not too old or young must cover their face, except the eyes, as per sharia directives, in order to avoid provocation when meeting men who are not mahram (adult close male relatives),” it said.
The order was expected to spark a flurry of condemnation abroad. Many in the international community want humanitarian aid for Afghanistan and recognition of the Taliban government to be linked to the restoration of women’s rights.
Akhundzada’s decree also said that if women had no important work outside it was “better they stay at home”.
During their first regime, the Taliban had made the burqa compulsory for women.
Since their return to power, their feared Ministry for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has issued several “guidelines” on what women should wear but Saturday’s edict was the first such national order.
The hardline Islamists triggered an international outrage in March when they ordered secondary schools for girls to shut, just hours after reopening for the first time since they seized power.
Officials have never justified the ban, apart from saying the education of girls must be according to “Islamic principles”.
That ban was also issued by Akhundzada, according to several Taliban officials.
Women have also been ordered to visit parks in the capital on separate days from men.

Some Afghan women initially pushed back strongly, holding small demonstrations and protests where they demanded the right to education and work.
But the Taliban cracked down on these unsanctioned rallies and rounded up several of the ringleaders, holding them incommunicado while denying they had been detained.
In the 20 years between the Taliban’s two reigns, girls were allowed to go to school and women were able to seek employment in all sectors, though the country remained socially conservative.
In a deeply conservative and patriarchal Afghanistan, many women already wear the burqa in rural areas. | https://www.thejournal.ie/taliban-orders-afghan-women-wear-burqa-5757384-May2022/ | 2022-05-07T11:21:32Z | https://www.thejournal.ie/taliban-orders-afghan-women-wear-burqa-5757384-May2022/ | true | 11 |

BOSTON, May 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowe & Mulvey, a personal injury firm in Boston, has been sued by a former client for alleged Legal Malpractice. The lawsuit, filed by Brian Evans, alleges that the firm failed to depose or call witnesses during his mother's wrongful death trial, and failed to object when a juror member stated that "anyone can have a heart attack," despite the fact that the juror member did not have Sleep Apnea.
39 United States governors have issued Sleep Apnea Awareness Proclamations, many of them mentioning Evans mother by name. Those Proclamations can be seen at helen-bousquet.com.
The Massachusetts Appeals Court stated in an Order that the firm failed to object during trial to the issue in what would be a cause to appeal. The firm also did not do a conflict check on the judge, Lawrence Suprerior Court Judge Salim Tabit, who was married to a doctor with at least admitting privileges in the very same hospital Evans was suing.
Evans has named Florence Carey, an attorney at the firm and another attorney, as well as the firm itself.
"During the trial, my own attorney stated that the going rate for a 62-year-old, my mother, was $750,000," Evans says. "I was sickened."
The Massachusetts Bar Association issued a warning against the firm after they posted a video of Evans on YouTube praising the firm, but only doing so after Evans gave notice of his intent to sue and never before. YouTube, citing a violation of Evans copyright, immediately removed the video.
"This firm represented me and deposed none of my witnesses nor called any of them to testify," says Evans. "Then they post a video of me praising them after I advised the law firm I intended to file suit, but never before. I am appreciative that both the Massachusetts Bar sent them a warning letter and that YouTube confirmed their violation of my copyright by the removal of the website. In my opinion, this firm seeks settlements, and were completely unprepared for trial."
Evans is being represented by Massachusetts attorney Richard Chambers.
Evans also claims the firm failed to depose any of his witnesses, including his father, a former police chief, and failed to file a Notice of Appeal to preserve his rights. The firm also never filed to withdraw from the case nor received permission by the court in Lawrence, Massachusetts to do so.
"The firm failed to discover the judge was connected to the defendants, didn't object when they should have during the trial, failed to file any post-verdict motions, and other matters that now have me having to pursue what I am in court," says Evans.
Evans' original case for which he is now suing Crowe & Mulvey is now before the United States Supreme Court. Evans appeal regarding the judge will be reviewed by The United States Supreme Court and will be at conference on May 19th, 2022. "If I lose the appeal, I'll file for a Motion for Rehearing. I lost my mother this was not some small claims case and that's how I believe Crowe & Mulvey treated it."
"I see opinions posted online by other firms on their blogs who know absolutely nothing about what I'm alleging in the case. They know nothing about it and spew off opinions knowing nothing," said Evans about an article he reviewed by a firm with no relation to the case.
"That's why I decided it was my turn to make it clear what this firm did, or in my case, didn't do, and the retaliatory actions they took when they knew I was going to file a legal malpractice case. Having to go through this over what happened to my mother has been the worst experience of my life," concludes Evans.
"My father, a former police chief, was on my witness list and heard co-defendant Dr. Ronald Marvin say "Probably," when my father asked if had my mother been monitored would it had made a difference. Crowe & Mulvey never even deposed him despite telling me they would, and never called my father as a rebuttal witness to Marvin's testimony. Like the original case, I will take this case as far as I must and justice will be had," says Evans.
Evans said comments by Edward S. Cheng, a professional liability attorney at Sherin and Lodgen in Boston, claiming that he, as a non-party to all of the cases "sees rough sailing ahead for Evans in his case against Crowe & Mulvey," is ridiculous.
"Who is Ed Cheng? I love how these lawyers who have nothing to do with the case seek to get their name out there by commenting about cases about trials they never sat through and do not know all of the details. It's a ridiculous and sad attempt to get attention in legal publications, really," says Evans.
Evans was deposed on May 6th, 2022, and depositions are set for June 1, 2022 with Evans father, and Crowe & Mulvey defendant Florence Carey.
"I am not the first client to sue Crowe & Mulvey," says Evans. "In my opinion they are a quick settlement firm and not a trial firm. This is my mother, and unlike what Florence Carey said to me and my friend, there was no "going rate" for my mother.

Which kids’ thermos is best?
Whether it’s homemade soup, stew or mac and cheese, you don’t want your child’s hot food to be cold when it’s time for lunch. Using a thermos that comes in fun colors and prints is the best way to ensure their meal is still appealing to them several hours after you pack it. There are also thermoses with straws that can keep beverages like milk and water chilled all day.
The best kids’ thermos to store food in is the DaCool Insulated Lunch Container. It comes with a fold-up spoon and can maintain an internal temperature for up to 12 hours.
What to know before you buy a kids’ thermos
Kids’ thermos types
Kids’ thermoses come in two types: bottles and jars.
- Bottles are meant to hold your kids’ drinks, no matter the temperature, such as milk and hot chocolate.
- Jars are much squatter than bottles and are meant to hold foods of any temperature. Their wide bodies and mouths make it easy for children to eat from them directly, and many include foldable spoons that can be stored in or on the jar.
Size and capacity
Kids’ thermos sizes and capacities are relatively narrow.
- Size: Size is a combination of type and capacity. The biggest concern with sizing is whether it fits in your or your child’s bag. Otherwise, size is one of the least important factors.
- Capacity: Kids’ thermos capacities are much smaller than adults — typically between 7-16 ounces or a little more. Jars tend to have lower capacities than bottles.
What to look for in a quality kids’ thermos
Insulation
Insulation is not made equally in kids’ thermoses despite it being the most important factor. Some can only keep foods hot or cold for a few hours, others can maintain their temperature for almost an entire day.
Insulation quality is often given in terms of time, with hot times always being shorter than cold times. The best hot times are roughly 6-8 hours while the best cold time are roughly 8-12 hours. Make sure your prospective thermos has at least 4 hours of insulation for both hot and cold.
Ease of use
Older kids can typically use any kids’ thermos without issue, but younger kids can struggle. The best kids thermoses for the youngsters are those with lids that aren’t too tight and are small enough overall to be comfortably held. Some kids’ thermoses have handles on the sides for the especially young.
Design
Kids’ thermoses are often placed in the lunchbox for school, so it’s important for your child to have a thermos design they can be happy about and proud of. Listen to what your child likes or have them share the shopping experience with you as a bonding activity.
How much you can expect to spend on a kids’ thermos
Kids’ thermoses typically cost $10-$30. The largest and those with the most attractive designs or included accessories start around $20. Everything else is roughly $15-$20.
Kids’ thermos FAQ
How long can foods and drinks stay safely inside a kids’ thermos?
A. That depends mainly on the temperature of the food. For hot foods, anything that has dropped below 140 degrees for two hours or more should be disposed of to be safe. For cold drinks, such as milk, anything that has warmed up to and above 40 degrees for two hours or more should be disposed of.
How should I wash a kids’ thermos?
A. Technically, many kids thermoses can be washed safely in the dishwasher. However, many dishwasher-safe thermoses with special designs can have their designs damaged in the dishwasher. So, it’s typically best to wash your kids thermoses by hand no matter what.
How can I get rid of stains and smells from a kids’ thermos?
A. Thankfully, it’s simple. Just add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and half a cup of white vinegar to the thermos before filling it the rest of the way with boiling water and let it sit for roughly 10 minutes. Drain it, scrub any remnants out with a soft sponge and give it a good rinse. The lid and any other parts are cleaned similarly, only they need to soak in a small separate container.

Raiders announce Dan Ventrelle out as president in cryptic tweet
What is going on in Las Vegas?
The Raiders team president, Dan Ventrelle is “no longer with the organization” franchise owner Mark Davis said in a tweet posted by the team Friday. No reason for Ventrelle’s departure has become public.
Ventrelle was first introduced as interim president to replace Marc Badain in July.
The abrupt brief statement could indicate that drama could be playing out behind-the-scenes within the organization.
The statement came a day after another Raiders executive, Chief Operations and Analytics Officer Jeremy Aguero, resigned after only seven months on the job. And there was no explanation provided for his departure, either.
The apparent offseason dramatics months after major turnover with the organization.
Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden resigned last October amid his involvement in a disturbing email controversy. Gruden announced his resignation after emails from 2011 through 2018, obtained by the New York Times, exposed his use of racist, homophobic and misogynistic language.
Las Vegas hired Josh McDaniels as head coach in January, after having spent 18 years with the Patriots, including 13 seasons as the team’s offensive coordinator. That same month, the Raiders fired general manager Mike Mayock after three seasons.
The Raiders are poised to have a successful season on-the-field with the blockbuster acquisition of All-Pro receiver Davante Adams — who signed a record five-year, $141.25 million deal in March after eight seasons with Green Bay.
The Raiders recently signed Derek Carr to a three-year, $121.5 million extension as Las Vegas prepares to contend in a stacked AFC West that includes the Chiefs, Chargers and Broncos, which acquired quarterback Russell Wilson last month from the Seahawks.

Searching for sought-after spirits? Virginia ABC now distributes them randomly
CHESAPEAKE, Va. - On a cold, rainy Tuesday morning in March, 12 people lined up outside of the ABC Store on East Liberty Street.
David Hillery was near the front of the line.
"I'm hoping for a new release of Elmer T. Lee [bourbon]," he said.
Hilley said he knew it was a delivery day at the store, but wasn't 100 percent sure Elmer T. Lee would be available.
"You take a chance," he said. "I knew there was supposed to be a delivery, or was supposed to be, but I'm hoping for the best."
At 10 a.m., the store opened and those in line got what they were looking for and paid about $40.
"I'll be happy and enjoying a pour of this tonight," Hillery said at the time. News 3 asked whether it was worth the wait. "Yes, because it's rare," Hillery answered.
As people lining up outside of stores appeared to be happening more frequently, Virginia ABC recently announced changes to how limited-availability products are distributed.
"We were really seeing instances where folks were starting to camp out at stores before they opened. They were following trucks. That would create disruptions in our ability to unload or open for business," said Travis Hill, the CEO of Virginia ABC.
Now, ABC will post on social media and send out emails alerting people when and where certain bottles are available. On Wednesday, ABC posted that the ABC store off of Colley Avenue would have these products, including sought after bourbons like Blanton's and Eagle Rare.
People quickly flocked to the shop to try and buy the products.
"What we decided to do was randomize it a little bit, so that it discouraged folks from camping out and gave opportunities for folks to have real time opportunities to make purchases," said Hill.
News 3 spoke with customers with mixed reaction to the changes. "This system, though chaotic, does give it a better playing field," said one customer.
"I'm not really a fan of the new system, rushing to your car and rushing to grab a bottle," another customer said. "It is what it is, but it's hard to beat this stuff at MRSP."
The ABC says it's all about making things more fair. "If somebody isn't able to make it one day, maybe the next week it's a different time that's better and suits their schedule," said Hill. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591987107505/searching-for-sought-after-spirits-virginia-abc-now-distributes-them-randomly | 2022-05-07T11:33:07Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591987107505/searching-for-sought-after-spirits-virginia-abc-now-distributes-them-randomly | true | 1 |
ROME (AP) — The Italian Coast Guard on Friday rescued more than 100 migrants and recovered two bodies after a sailboat ran aground near a jetty in southern Italy.
A pair of rescue divers had to coax one survivor, who was clinging to a metal pylon jutting up from the water, to jump into the sea so they could bring him to safety. He was taken by motorboat to Siderno, a town on the west coast of Calabria, the region that forms the “toe” of the Italian boot-shaped peninsula.
One diver shouted, “Jump, jump!” and “Bravo!” to try to boost the man’s courage. Eventually, he leaned down to grab a diver’s outstretched hand.
In all, 108 migrants had been aboard the double-masted sailboat, which had beached and overturned on a sandy shore adjacent to the jetty, the coast guard said.
Sailboats and yachts usually carry far fewer migrants than traffickers’ unseaworthy fishing boats, which often attempt to sail from Libya to the Italian island of Sicily. In that way, the sailboats often avoid detection by appearing to be pleasure boats as they aim for remote stretches of Italy’s long Calabrian coast.
A police helicopter and an Italian coast guard helicopter searched the waters near the jetty in case there were any other survivors or victims, but the coast guard said no one appeared to be missing.
Italian state TV said most of the migrants were from Afghanistan.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Updates:
- Net revenues totaled $5.2 million, a year-over-year decrease of 18% when compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.
- GAAP loss from operations was ($5.3) million, resulting in a GAAP operating margin of (103%), as compared to a GAAP loss from operations of ($2.4) million and a GAAP operating margin of (39%) for the first quarter of 2021.
- Non-GAAP loss from operations was ($4.3) million, resulting in a non-GAAP operating margin of (84%), as compared to a non-GAAP loss from operations of ($2.5) million and a non-GAAP operating margin of (40%) for the first quarter of 2021.
- In January 2022, an aggregate principal amount of $3.1 million of the loan that the Company obtained pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was forgiven. In February 2022, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the loan of approximately $0.2 million.
- Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below, under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Financial Outlook:
Marin is providing guidance for its second quarter of 2022 as follows:
Non-GAAP loss from operations excludes the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of internally developed software, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of internally developed software, non-recurring costs associated with restructurings, and certain professional fees that the Company has incurred in responding to third-party subpoenas that the Company has received related to governmental investigations of Google and Facebook.
Additionally, the Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP loss from operations, due to variability between revenues and non-cash items such as stock-based compensation. The GAAP loss from operations includes stock-based compensation expense, which is affected by hiring and retention needs, as well as the future price of Marin's stock. As a result, a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures cannot be made without unreasonable effort.
Quarterly Results Conference Call

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Marin uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Marin uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. Marin believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures that Marin uses may differ from measures that other companies may use.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP expenses, measures and net loss per share. Marin defines non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of internally developed software and intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, non-cash expenses related to debt agreements, capitalization of internally developed software, CARES Act employee retention credit, non-recurring costs associated with restructurings, and certain professional fees that the Company has incurred in responding to third-party subpoenas that the Company has received related to governmental investigations of Google and Facebook. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA. Marin defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization of internally developed software and intangible assets, capitalization of internally developed software, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, benefit from or provision for income taxes, CARES Act employee retention credit, other income, net, non-recurring costs associated with restructurings, and certain professional fees that the Company has incurred in responding to third-party subpoenas that the Company has received related to governmental investigations of Google and Facebook. These amounts are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of its operating performance because it assists in comparing the operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the operations that Marin believes, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to a series of Southern California attacks that killed five men and injured seven others was sentenced Friday to life in prison without possibility of parole.
Ramon Escobar, 50, received multiple life sentences after entering guilty pleas to murder with special circumstances and attempted murder. In a Zoom call hearing, he also pleaded guilty to the 2018 killings of his aunt and uncle in Houston, Texas. He received additional life sentences for those slayings but will serve them consecutively in California.
Prosecutors said Escobar fled Texas after killing his relatives and was homeless when he began attacking people in Los Angeles and Santa Monica over the course of about two weeks in September 2018.
Prosecutors said Escobar bludgeoned victims with bolt cutters or a baseball bat as they lay sleeping on streets or the beach. All but one were homeless.
In an interview with police, Escobar said he killed some of the victims because they “irritated him, they were disrespectful to law enforcement, or he robbed them because he needed money,” according to a prosecution sentencing memorandum.
Surveillance video showed him ransacking the pockets and belongings of some victims in downtown Los Angeles.
Escobar had fled Texas after being questioned over the disappearance of his aunt and uncle, with whom he’d been staying. He drove 1,500 miles (2,414 kilometers) to California, arriving about a week before the attacks began there, authorities said.
Houston police later said Escobar confessed that he had killed siblings Dina Escobar, 60, and Rogelio Escober, 65.
Escobar told police he beat his uncle to death because he felt disrespected, and then killed his aunt after hiding in her van when she went to look for her brother two days later.
Escobar said he left the bodies in two different dumpsters, and they were later found at a landfill.
Escobar had a previous criminal record that included a five-year prison term for burglary in Texas and misdemeanor convictions for assault and trespassing, authorities said.
Escobar, who originally was from El Salvador, also had been deported six times from 1997 to 2011 but returned illegally, authorities said. In 2017 he was released from federal immigration custody after winning an appeal of his latest deportation case in an immigration court, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/ap-top-headlines/man-gets-life-for-killings-in-california-texas/ | 2022-05-07T11:36:21Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/ap-top-headlines/man-gets-life-for-killings-in-california-texas/ | false | 21 |
Neighbors dismayed about a recent Telluride Planning & Zoning Commission ruling on the ultimate design of the Transfer Warehouse have taken a legal appeal of that board’s March decision to Telluride Town Council. The amendment to the planned unit development would allow for a redesign of the roof of the historic structure, which is owned and operated by the Telluride Arts District. Council will hear the appeal at its Tuesday meeting, beginning at 9 a.m.
This latest legal gambit is yet another move by neighbors of the open-air structure on the corner of South Fir Street and Pacific Avenue, who have dogged the nonprofit arts organization as it moves ahead with plans to redesign the stone building as a multi-use building with gallery space, and performance venue and community gathering space. Plagued by what they say are excessive noise levels, the appeal that council will rule on addresses the design of the roof, which is slated to partially cover the building, leaving some of the interior open to the elements. The appeal comes on the heels of a failed bid to reverse the town’s liquor licensing board’s granting of a liquor license to Telluride Arts. Council upheld that board’s hearing officer Lois Major’s approval of the Transfer Warehouse's art liquor license under the conditions that two clean and fully stocked porta-potties would be installed, all amplified music would stop at 9 p.m., and alcohol sales would cease at 9:30 p.m.
At Tuesday’s hearing, council has the ability to uphold or reverse the P&Z decision, with or without conditions. Council can also remand the application to P&Z with or without instructions, which may include requirements for additional hearings, further findings or other specific action on the application, according to council’s memo from staff. Any decision made must be made by an extraordinary majority (five votes, if all seven members of council are in attendance).
Representatives of Telluride Arts, which has an Oct. 27 deadline to raise $12 million for the project, expressed frustration with this latest maneuver from a Transfer Warehouse neighbor.
“After failed attempts to derail the Transfer Warehouse through challenging HARC, P&Z and the Liquor License Board, a tiny group of disgruntled naysayers have decided to launch a legal challenge against the Town of Telluride itself through this PUD appeal,” Telluride Arts board president Penelope Gleason said. “This a not a case of neighbors trying to work out differences together in a reasonable dialogue. This is assault on the community at large.”
Thomas A. Archipley II, represented by Denver legal firm Otten Johnson, is alleging a number of claims in his attempt to reverse P&Z’s decision to allow a design that would leave a courtyard area of the building as an open-air space. Archipley, whose condo is located to the south of the Transfer Warehouse, says through his legal representatives that when he purchased his condo in 2019, he understood that the building would eventually be fully enclosed. The roof of the historic building (built in 1906) collapsed in 1979. A partial roof, he said, “will allow amplified and other performances to continue forever, without any limitation, impacting the use and enjoyment of his condominium unit and other nearby residences.”
He further alleges the amendment approved by P&Z will encourage a “perpetual nuisance,” as it will result in a loss of peace and quiet, as his letter to council states.
Gleason called Archipley’s allegations “baseless.”
“While Telluride Arts is not the defendant in this new tactic of attacking the Town’s PUD process, the Transfer Warehouse public benefit would be the actual casualty if this baseless attack succeeds,” Gleason said. “The very best response is to hold true to our mission of sustaining the greatest community cultural benefits forever. Community support in forms of public testimony combined with financial pledges of any amount are the best way for folks to show that a few will not destroy our present and future Telluride culture.”
Letters in support of Telluride Arts’ ambitious plan to create a cultural touchstone in the heart of town’s commercial core are voluminous. With venue space in town limited, supporters say that the Transfer Warehouse embodies community values with its unique, partially enclosed design. Many supporters point to the venue’s value during the pandemic, when its open-air space provided the setting for safe community gatherings and performances.
“The warehouse was able to continue with many productions, presentations, and events during the recent pandemic,” wrote Susan Dalton. “We have not seen the last of COVID-19, nor have we seen the last of new strains of virus. I am very much in favor of the warehouse retaining an open-air space.”
Telluride Arts Executive Director Kate Jones, like Gleason, doesn’t veil her frustration at this latest challenge to the Transfer Warehouse’s design and operations.
“The attempts to derail the project have been intensely frustrating and the antithesis to the 10 years of planning and process, which have included hundreds of hours of the community coming together to ensure this treasured site is redeveloped in the best way possible and serves the Telluride community for generations to come,” Jones said. “It’s been rigorous, slow, complex, and shaped by the values of this community, which are baked into the design, preservation plan, cultural programming, and welcoming quality of the spaces.”
With the fundraising deadline looming, Telluride Arts Development Director Jessica Manno spoke to the urgency of being able to achieve the nonprofit’s goal, though she remains optimistic.
“The overwhelming and durable support has only grown,” Manno said. “Yet, unfortunately, these antics have created confusion among some donors and caused intentional delays to our approvals and fundraising. We are on an extremely tight timeline, needing to raise the balance of the money, $12,000,000, by October.”

LRT-2 to give free rides for PWDs on elections day
MANILA, Philippines — The Light Rail Transit Authority said it is giving free rides to persons with disabilities (PWDs) who will use the LRT-2 on elections day in a bid to provide accessible transportation to members of the sectors who will be casting their ballots.
Those who present their PWD IDs to the train personnel may avail of the LRT-2's free rides, which will run from 5 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Antipolo station) and 9 p.m. (Recto station) on May 9.
“The provision of accessible transportation is one of the main requirements for PWD to be able to participate in the national elections. LRT-2 is ready and available to accommodate them," LRTA Administrator Jeremy Regino said in a statement shared on the transport company's Facebook page on Saturday.
Regina also encouraged all PWDs taking the train to their voting precinct to stay at the special boarding area, where senior citizens and pregnant women are also allowed to stay.
The LRT-2 trains also have designated areas for PWD users.
LRT-2 claimed it is designed to be "commuter-friendly", explaining that its stations have several accessibility features such as ramps, facilities with braille markings, and yellow path-finding tactiles for the blind.

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) earlier said it will establish emergency accessible polling places (EAPPs) for PWDs, the elderly and pregnant so they can exercise their right to vote.
The EAPPs can be in the form of a classroom or a temporary polling place on the first flour or ground floor near the voting centers, according to a Comelec resolution.
PWDs have historically faced mobility problems come elections season, with reports of many struggling up the stairs of barangay facilities and schools to cast their votes.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service RENO NV
358 AM PDT Sat May 7 2022
...WINDY AND COLDER MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND WITH SNOW SHOWERS...
* Winds: Periods of strong winds will continue through the
weekend. The most widespread strong winds will be on Sunday,
with localized strong winds in the Eastern Sierra on Saturday.
* While not major wind events, we will likely see rough air for
plane travel. Travel restrictions for high profile vehicles are
possible. Check with CalTrans and/or NDOT for the current road
information. Areas of blowing dust are possible, and backcountry
and ski recreation will be impacted along with rough conditions
on area lakes this weekend.
* Temperatures: A strong cold front will roll through on Sunday.
This front will usher in a much colder airmass Mother's Day
into the first half of next week. Temperatures will be 15-25
degrees below normal. While there is still some uncertainty due
to winds and cloud cover, it's likely we will have frost and
freeze concerns Sunday through Tuesday nights. Watch those
sprinklers and protect any sensitive vegetation ahead of time.
* Rain and Snow: We will see periods of rain and snow/pellet
showers along with slight chances for thunderstorms Sunday
through Tuesday. The best chance for accumulating snows in the
mountains appears to be Sunday afternoon and evening as the cold
front moves in. Check travel conditions Sunday before heading
over the hill. Outside of that, rain and snow showers will be
more scattered in nature through Tuesday, but accumulations will
be hard to come by.
Sorry mom. We'll do better next year.

When Stephanie Mejia Arciñiega drove her friend to the Planned Parenthood in Ann Arbor, Mich., they were surrounded by anti-abortion protestors as soon as they tried to pull in to the clinic.
"They come up to your car super fast," Mejia Arciñiega said. "You don't want to run their feet over, so we had to stop and be like, 'OK, no thank you.' But then they started throwing a bunch of papers and resources at us. We tried to go inside, but we couldn't."
The clinic, which offers abortion care as well as birth control, cancer screenings, and STD treatment, has long been the target of anti-abortion protestors. Protestors' efforts to limit abortions in the state may soon get a huge boost, if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.
In Michigan, this would have an immediate impact. Overnight, nearly all abortions would become a felony carrying a penalty of up to four years, even in the cases of rape and incest. That's under an old state law, last updated in 1931, that was never repealed, even after Roe made it unenforceable in 1973.
Mejia Arciñiega is only 18. She's never imagined a world where abortion is illegal. "You wouldn't think that in 2022, we'd be worrying about women's rights, reproduction rights," she said. "You wouldn't want someone young that isn't ready [to] have to have a baby because the law says 'No.' It's not fair."
Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel has a similar concern. The Democrat said she won't enforce the law if it springs back into effect. But Michigan has 83 local county prosecutors, and Nessel said they could do whatever they want. "I don't think that I have the authority to tell the duly elected county prosecutors what they can and what they cannot charge," Nessel said at a press conference earlier this week.
The way the law's written, Nessel said it's possible that prosecutors could go after anyone who provides an abortion, as well as the person who takes medications to end their own pregnancy.
That could potentially "create a scenario where if a woman has self-aborted and she seeks medical care after that, will the doctor then have to report that to law enforcement?"
Speaking to reporters, Nessel also discussed the abortion she'd had years ago — one that would be illegal in the state if Roe falls. She was pregnant with triplets and doctors told her the embryos weren't growing in utero, she said.
"And I was told very, very specifically that there was no way that all three would make it to term...But if I aborted one, that it was possible that the other two might live. ...I took my doctor's advice... And you know what? It turned out that he was right. And now I have two beautiful sons."
Under the 1931 law, there's just one exemption: for abortions that are "to preserve the life" of the woman. Yet doctors say they have no idea how to interpret that. Say a woman has severe heart disease, and her chance of dying in pregnancy is around 20% to 30%.
"Is that enough of a chance?" asked Dr. Lisa Harris, a University of Michigan professor and OB-GYN, speaking this week on Michigan Radio's Stateside. "I hate to even put it that way, but is that enough of a chance of dying that that person would qualify under Michigan's ban for a lifesaving abortion? Or would their risk of dying need to be 50% or 100%?"
Or what if a pregnant person has cancer, and needs to end the pregnancy to begin chemo? "There's not an imminent risk of dying, but there might be a risk of dying years later if they didn't have chemotherapy...immediately. So these are the kind of situations doctors are wondering about."
It's also unclear whether a woman whose pregnancy would only become life threatening in its later stages, would be required to delay termination until then.
"We see people with things like kidney disease or other problems, where they're actually okay during early pregnancy. But if the pregnancy were to continue and they were to give birth, then they would have a very high chance of dying," Harris explained.
The state legislature is controlled by Republicans, but Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, filed a preemptive lawsuit last month seeking to block the 1931 law from going into effect. Planned Parenthood filed a similar suit as well. And there's a campaign to collect enough signatures to put abortion on the ballot in November. But that would be long after the US Supreme Court makes its final ruling on Roe.
In the meantime, the confusion and uncertainty caused by the 1931 law could be enough for some health care professionals to simply stop offering abortions, Nessel said.
"I think that this will have the kind of chilling effect that doctors just simply will not perform this procedure really under any set of circumstances, because they don't want to get dragged into court," she said. "They don't want to face the possibility of being prosecuted and the possibility of going to jail or prison. So I think that that honestly, you'll have doctors that really have to violate their Hippocratic oath and just say, 'I'm sorry, I can't help you.'"

Meanwhile, Pereira (5-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will get a highly ranked opponent in just his third UFC fight.

Interestingly, Sable, who specializes in 3000 metres steeplechase and has broken the national record eight times, the latest timing of 8:16:21 sec set at the Indian Grand Prix 2 in March 2022, has recently started participating in 5000m races, adding it as a new event in his repertoire.
Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the 1500m champion at Tokyo Olympics, won the gold in 13:02.03. Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei holds the men’s 5000m world record, courtesy of a 12:35.36 finish in Monaco in 2020.
The Sound Running Track Meet, a World Athletics Continental Tour bronze level event, was only his second competition race in 5000m for the 27-year-old Sable from Mandwa village in the Beed district of Maharashtra.
Sable had represented India in the Tokyo 2022 Olympics, setting a national record of 8:18.12, which he improved in March this year. Sable is a silver medallist in 3000m steeplechase in Asian Championships, finishing second in 2019 at Doha. | https://www.india.com/sports/athletics-avinash-sable-breaks-30-year-old-national-record-in-5000m-5379458/ | 2022-05-07T13:04:14Z | https://www.india.com/sports/athletics-avinash-sable-breaks-30-year-old-national-record-in-5000m-5379458/ | false | 4 |
How Optimizing Your Vitamin D Status Promotes Muscle Health & Function*
In ancient Greece, rooms with prime sun exposure were recommended to strengthen muscles, and Olympians were told to train outside in the sunshine for optimal performance. No, they weren't just trying to look tan in their togas—as it turns out, the Greeks recognized the vitamin D/muscle connection long before the science was well understood.
Though vitamin D's contributions to bone health are far more researched, the sunshine vitamin's involvement in muscle health is just as important. Evidence suggests that vitamin D plays a vital role in many skeletal muscle activities—including early development, mass, function, and metabolism.*
Vitamin D health benefits.
Vitamin D receptors (VDR) have been found in skeletal muscle (aka the muscles on your bones that help you move), suggesting vitamin D plays a crucial role in the maintenance of muscle form and function.*
If you think vitamin D isn't a top priority for your own musculoskeletal health because you aren't a pro athlete, think again: Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 35% of total body mass in females and 42% in males, making it an important factor in overall body composition, metabolism, and physical function. Sufficient vitamin D levels are a must for healthy muscles, no matter how you're using them.*
Support muscle function.
According to nutrition musculoskeletal scientist Christian Wright, Ph.D., vitamin D modulates a number of cellular pathways and functions that maintain muscle health—such as skeletal muscle differentiation (i.e., dividing cells decide to become muscle cells!), growth, and even regeneration.* "Having adequate levels of vitamin D is essential for optimizing the benefits of vitamin D on muscle,"* says Wright. (More on vitamin D levels here.)
vitamin D3 potency+
Supports bone and muscle health.*
The research supports his insight, demonstrating vitamin D's ability to improve muscle function when given to those deficient in vitamin D (i.e., correct the deficiency).* With vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency affecting 29% and 41% of U.S. adults, respectively, a significant portion of the U.S. population can benefit from the muscle health benefits that healthy levels of vitamin D support.*
Beyond its direct impact on muscle health, vitamin D also helps maintain calcium homeostasis.* This vitamin-mineral partnership is crucial to muscle contraction—i.e., the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles to accomplish a physical activity.
That means hitting the gym (or this dance break workout we're loving) isn't the only critical way to benefit from muscle health support—vitamin D is helping you with everything from making your morning coffee to running to catching the train on your evening commute to the workout of your choice.*
Maintain healthy muscle mass & overall body composition.
The total amount of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles in your body make up your muscle mass, and sufficient vitamin D throughout life is required to maintain a healthy percentage.*
Higher muscle mass is related to a number of health benefits—including slowing down muscle loss with age, improving metabolism, and even longevity.* Indeed, older adults with more muscle mass were found to live longer than those with less in a 2014 clinical study published in the American Journal of Medicine.
Maintaining healthy muscle mass isn't as easy as adding some vitamin D to your diet (which rarely provides enough of the essential fat-soluble vitamin to affect your vitamin D status and health in a meaningful way). While a vitamin D supplement is a no-brainer for achieving and maintaining vitamin D sufficiency throughout life, your muscle mass will also benefit from an overall nutrient-dense dietary pattern (with a particular focus on high-quality and adequate protein) and regular physical activity, too.*
Additionally, there are many facets of body composition (the percentage of fat, bone, and yes, muscle) unique to each individual that affect the amount of vitamin D needed.
Nutrition scientist and vice president of scientific affairs at mbg Ashley Jordan Ferira, Ph.D., RDN, previously shared that, "Adiposity, or the amount of body fat one has, is one key facet of body composition (as are lean mass and bone density). Research has repeatedly demonstrated that fat tissue is inversely correlated with vitamin D status (i.e., higher adiposity, lower vitamin D levels)."
The reasons for this are varied and "involve perturbations in storage, dilution, and complex feedback loops," explains Ferira. She goes on to say, "One major factor is that fat tissue has a tendency to store fat-soluble compounds like vitamin D, making less of this essential nutrient available to circulate and be activated to support our cells, tissues, and organs throughout the body.”*
Additionally, according to Wright, there appears to be little to no additional benefit of vitamin D on muscle mass once sufficiency status is achieved. "Overall, vitamin D does not help increase muscle mass if circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are at or above recommendations," says Wright. But as Ferira jokes, "That would be an excellent problem to have since 93%-plus of Americans aren't even eating their way to 400 IU of vitamin D3 a day."
What does this mean for us? Well, evidence suggests that muscle mass is greatly improved by vitamin D supplementation for those deficient or insufficient in the essential vitamin (again, 29% and 41% of American adults, respectively), so a significant number of the U.S. population can benefit from adding some vitamin D to their supplement routine.*
Of course, managing to squeak just above the cutoff for vitamin D insufficiency (30 ng/ml) is not the goal to aim for but a boundary to avoid. (More on vitamin D levels to achieve for lifelong health here.)
Aid skeletal muscle metabolism.
Wait, hold up—what is skeletal muscle metabolism, exactly? Well, it's a highly coordinated process involving communication between immune and muscle cells.
Skeletal muscle metabolism largely depends on mitochondrial oxidative capacity, and, according to Wright, vitamin D has been shown to influence factors of energy metabolism such as mitochondrial density and function.*
Increasing the size and number of your mitochondria, aka the powerhouse of the cell (thanks, high school biology class), helps the mitochondria convert energy (aka from the foods we eat throughout the day) into ATP, which is the primary carrier of energy in cells for all of their reactions and hard work. This process, called mitochondrial biogenesis, allows your muscles to work harder for longer.
Wright explains, "Increasing vitamin D concentrations is shown to increase mitochondrial biogenesis, oxygen consumption, and phosphate uptake, all the while decreasing oxidative stress."* In other words, vitamin D aids metabolic activities in skeletal muscle and supports the overall health of muscle cells, making it a powerful teammate for us and our daily movement and overall health.*
The takeaway.
Vitamin D is a critical nutritional player in our muscle health, not only when we exercise but for daily physical activity and functions as well.* The widespread prevalence of vitamin D nutritional inadequacy in the United States makes the vitamin D and muscle connection a vital topic of discovery, and while the research is ongoing, it's clear that sufficient vitamin D levels contribute to musculoskeletal health and function.*
Because it's practically impossible to restore vitamin D levels from food and sunshine alone, vitamin D supplementation is also an important consideration when trying to achieve optimal muscle health.* In addition to providing an effective level of vitamin D3 (5,000 IU) from sustainable organic algae, mindbodygreen's vitamin D3 potency+ is optimized with built-in absorption technology to support your muscle, bone, immune, and whole-body health.*
Whether you're training for the Olympics, trying to master a yoga inversion, or simply looking to support day-to-day activities, consider (expert vetted and recommended) vitamin D supplementation—your muscles will thank you!*

On Friday, May 6, 2022, the state legislature of New England's Texas, also known as New Hampshire, voted to pass the HB1178 bill, which makes it illegal for anyone to enforce any federal gun laws. No seriously this is what it says:
This bill prohibits the state of New Hampshire, a political subdivision of this state, or any person acting under the color of state, county, or municipal law from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer, or cooperate with any law, act, rule, order, or regulation of the United States Government or Executive Order of the President of the United States that is inconsistent with any law of this state regarding the regulation of firearms, ammunition, magazines or the ammunition feeding devices, firearm components, firearms supplies, or knives.
The bill also makes it clear that state, county, or local officials are still allowed to cooperate with a law enforcement agency that's investigating a violation of federal gun laws, provided that the person of interest has also violated some other New Hampshire laws.
I don't know how enforceable this legalized non-enforcement will actually be, but I suspect it's going to turn into one helluva legal precedent. It might just also turn Hampton Beach (the only part of the state that's not landlocked) into an even more wretched hive of scum and villainy, if, say, it were to become a hub of international arms trafficking to circumvent other US federal regulations. But hey, you can play some skeeball on the boardwalk and buy a bazooka in one quick trip! How convenient!
Unfortunately, it might take more than a bazooka to stop the state's entire bear population from evicting libertarians.

One way to shut down debate on a contentious subject is to declare that there is no debate on the subject. Everyone, absolutely everyone, agrees with one side, so why are you even trying to argue? It's settled.
The Biden administration is doing that now on what officials call "gender-affirming care" for young people who believe they are transgender. "There is no argument among medical professionals -- pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, adolescent medicine physicians, adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, etc. -- about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care," Dr. Rachel Levine, who, as U.S. assistant secretary for health, is the highest-ranking transgender person in the administration, told National Public Radio Friday. The next day, Levine made the case in a speech at the "Out for Health" conference at Texas Christian University.
A month earlier, to observe "International Transgender Day of Visibility," Levine's agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, released an information sheet on "gender-affirming care" for youth. "For transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender-affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the health care system," the department said.
People are also reading…
The information sheet included a chart detailing "gender-affirming care." It listed four specific types of care, with a definition and comment on whether or not it was "reversible." The first type of care was "social affirmation," which it defined as "adopting gender-affirming hairstyles, clothing, name, gender pronouns, and restrooms and other facilities." That can be done "at any age or state," HHS said, and is "reversible." Indeed, while there is debate about the wisdom of such efforts, they are, in fact, reversible.
But the department listed three other approved treatments that are not reversible -- puberty blockers, hormone therapy and "gender-affirming surgeries." The chart defined the first as "using certain types of hormones to pause pubertal development," which it recommended "during puberty." It called such treatment "reversible," although there is great debate about that, and in any event, it is hard to see how delaying the age at which a child reaches puberty can be reversed, since the child will never be that age again.
HHS defined hormone therapy as "testosterone hormones for those who were assigned female at birth" and "estrogen hormones for those who were assigned male at birth," recommended from "early adolescence onward" and labeled "partially reversible."
"Gender-affirming surgeries" were defined as "'top' surgery -- to create male-typical chest shape or enhance breasts," or "'bottom' surgery -- surgery on genitals or reproductive organs," or "facial feminization or other procedures." Such measures are "typically used in adulthood or case-by-case in adolescence" and are obviously "not reversible."
Levine says there is "no argument" about the value and importance of these treatments. But in fact, all three of them -- puberty blockers, hormone therapy and "gender-affirming" surgeries -- are quite controversial. Just look at some of the commentary from an organization called the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, which is made up of the type of "medical professionals" to whom Levine referred. In the group's own words, "We are an international group of over 100 clinicians and researchers concerned about the lack of quality evidence for the use of hormonal and surgical interventions as first-line treatment for young people with gender dysphoria."
You might have seen more about the group, except members' views are sometimes censored by major medical organizations. For example, last year The Wall Street Journal reported that the American Academy of Pediatrics barred the SEGM from setting up a booth at the AAP's annual conference. The AAP is "working very hard to give an appearance that everything's been decided and there's no debate," a SEGM member, Dr. Julia Mason, told the Journal.
And now, that is what the Biden administration is trying to do, too. Levine has declared the argument among medical professionals over. The new consensus, amazingly enough, agrees with Levine. The administration now will move to the next step. Since the debate is over, since there is a scientific consensus in favor of "gender-affirming" treatment, those who are still criticizing are not debating the facts. They are attacking their fellow human beings.
"Those who now attack our LGBTQI+ community are driven by an agenda that has nothing to do with medicine, nothing to do with science, and nothing to do with warmth, empathy, compassion or understanding," Levine said in the speech at Texas Christian University. "They're rejecting the value of supportive medicine, rejecting well-established science and rejecting basic human compassion. They prefer slander, bigotry and gender-baiting hate speech."
Who would want to do that? Who would want to risk being accused of slander, bigotry and gender-baiting -- risk reputation and livelihood -- for questioning the wisdom of "gender-affirming care" for minors? Better to just be quiet. After all, Levine says the argument is over, at least as long as Levine and the Biden administration are in power.

KUALA LUMPUR: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan (pix) will share Malaysia’s good practices in addressing the issue of forced labour during his working visit to Washington DC, in conjunction with the prime minister’s visit to attend the US-ASEAN Special Summit from May 10 to 13.
In a statement here today, Saravanan said he will also explore opportunities for bilateral cooperation with the United States government as part of efforts to ensure Malaysian companies and products are free from forced labour practices in their supply chains.
“During my visit, I will be pursuing the forced labour initiative agenda subsequent to my recent trip to Geneva and London to deposit the ratification of International Labour Organization (ILO) Protocol 29 on Forced Labour and discussion with the United Kingdom on the same issue.
“As such, I am scheduled to meet with relevant departments in the US, namely the US Department of Labour and US Customs and Border Protection, including a session with the Responsible Business Alliance,” he said. — Bernama | https://www.thesundaily.my/local/saravanan-to-highlight-malaysia-s-efforts-to-tackle-forced-labour-issue-during-washington-visit-FX9167227 | 2022-05-07T13:31:08Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/local/saravanan-to-highlight-malaysia-s-efforts-to-tackle-forced-labour-issue-during-washington-visit-FX9167227 | true | 3 |
MANILA — The last show of force for supporters of Vice President Leni Robredo and her running mate Sen. Kiko Pangilinan before the end of the campaign period turned into a street party at the heart of Makati’s business district.
Many supporters sat on the sidewalk and roads around the stage of the meeting de avance at the corner of Ayala and Makati Avenue.
Those far from the stage are monitoring the program via LED screens placed at portions of the 2 main roads. However, during the program some of the LEDs and speakers did not function, but were later fixed.
A number of supporters also brought home-made placards with different messages.
As in previous rallies, volunteers lined the sidewalks and roads offering free water and food like pink-colored bread and ice cream.
Others took to selling campaign paraphernalia such as bag tags, pins, stickers, t-shirts, and baller IDs.
Organizers and supporters were hoping this miting de avance will gather at least half a million or even up to 1 million participants, and be the largest gathering of Robredo-Pangilinan supporters in the campaign.
Ayala Avenue is also a historic lane, which has seen mass gatherings in pivotal points of the Philippines’ recent history.
Among them a massive anti-dictatorship protest before the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s, and the funeral procession of the late democracy icon Corazon Aquino in 2009. All of which were followed by a change in leadership for the nation.
It is this sense of historical import many supporters of Vice President Robredo are holding on to, even as the latest electoral preference survey sees the VP at second place.
But many Kakampinks are optimistic this will not be the last rally for the so-called people’s campaign.
As one placard read: There’s still a victory party after this final rally, when they hope Robredo would win the presidency.

Wightlink wins a top business award to recognise its achievements in sustainability
Wightlink is celebrating winning The News Business Excellence Award for Sustainability 2022.
The achievement recognises the successful introduction of Wightlink’s new flagship Victoria of Wight, England’s first large ferry powered by hybrid energy, and the ferry company’s campaigns to cut carbon emissions and operate as sustainably as possible. Initiatives include improving recycling, installing EV charging points for electric vehicles, buying from local suppliers and promoting a range of environmental projects. Wightlink supports partners to re-establish oysters in the Solent, support crucial seagrass beds in Ryde and re-introduce white-tailed eagles to the Isle of Wight.
The trophy for the Sustainable Business of the Year was presented at a ceremony at Portsmouth Guildhall by Professor Jeremy Howells, Dean of the University of Portsmouth’s Faculty of Business and Law. Another Award for sustainability went to the Package Free Larder, Portsmouth’s first plastics-free supermarket.
Chief Executive Keith Greenfield says: “Wightlink is proud to sail through some of the most beautiful coastal waters in the UK, if not the world. As we cross the Solent 364 days a year, we are always conscious of our responsibility to protect the land, sea and air around us. Our next ambition is to commission and operate an all-electric ferry.”
Editor of The News, Mark Waldron, says: “Each year we celebrate local business success whatever the challenges – and this year’s awards are extra-special after all that we’ve been through with Covid-19. Now restrictions have been lifted and society returns to a new normality, it is a good moment to reflect on and celebrate how much has been achieved, even in the face of adversity.”

Frontenacs' comeback attempt falls short in 6-4 Game 1 loss
Article content
Prior to the start of Kingston’s second-round playoff series, Frontenacs head coach Luca Caputi said earlier this week that showing up on time and getting a good start would be the key to victory over the North Bay Battalion.
In Game 1 of their Ontario Hockey League Eastern Conference semifinal on Friday night in North Bay, it was the home-ice Battalion who got off to good starts in all three periods on their way to a 6-4 win.
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m., also in North Bay.

To lead off the three periods, the Battalion scored their first goal just under six minutes into the game, their third goal just 22 seconds into the second period, giving them a 3-0 lead, and their fourth goal, a short-handed effort, two minutes into the third, giving them a 4-1 advantage.
Trailing 4-1 early in the third period after North Bay’s Owen Van Steensel’s short-handed goal, Kingston made a game of it by scoring two goals less than two minutes apart — by Paul Ludwinski, his sixth of the playoffs, and North Bay native Lucas Edmonds, his fourth — to pull Kingston within one of the Battalion.
However, Mitchell Russell scored into an empty net, his second goal of the game, to give the Battalion a 5-3 lead with 1:45 remaining, and after Martin Chromiak scored with 1:11 left to lift Kingston back to within a goal again, Russell scored his third goal of the game, and second empty-netter, with 14 seconds remaining to seal the win.
Kingston almost tied the game earlier as Alec Belanger, normally a defenceman but playing forward in the game, hit a goalpost behind Battalion goaltender Joe Vrbetic with just over three minutes left.
Kingston’s Jordan Frasca had an opportunity to tie the game a couple of minutes earlier with just over five minutes left, but his close-in shot was stopped by Vrbetic’s right pad.
Kingston outshot North Bay 14-11 in the third, but the Battalion outshot the Frontenacs 40-29 overall.
North Bay opened the scoring 5:53 into the game after Russell’s wrist shot bounced off Frontenacs goaltender Leevi Merilainen’s trapper and right onto the stick of Brandon Coe in the high slot. His one-timer found the back of the net.

The Frontenacs got a power-play opportunity right after the Battalion goal but couldn’t score.
North Bay took a 2-0 lead with just over five minutes left in the first period. Kyle McDonald shoved in a close-in shot off Merilainen as Frontenacs defenceman Jake Murray fell into the net. Referee Jason Faist initially called off the goal, but after video review, the officials called it a good goal, finding that the puck went into the net before Faist whistled down the play.
North Bay took the play to Kingston in the first period outshooting the Frontenacs 16-7.
With the Frontenacs trailing 2-0 after the first period, any hopes of cutting into the Battalion’s lead was quickly dashed 22 seconds into the second when Russell scored after sneaking in behind the Kingston defence. The net was off its moorings when the puck went in, but the officials ruled Merilainen had knocked the net off himself.
Kingston was able to cash in on its only offensive chance of the second period when Francesco Arcuri took advantage of a North Bay giveaway in the Battalion zone with just under five minutes left in the period. It was Arcuri’s third goal of the playoffs.

Anton Vlaschenko often hears shelling outside his office in Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv, not far from the front lines of the war. He sometimes even sees smoke rising from Russian tanks hit by missiles.
But the 40-year-old zoologist continues his work, dissecting and labeling bat tissue, as he probes the disease ecology of the flying mammals. When news of the war overwhelms him, he says, it helps to have something familiar to do with his hands.
He also sees it as an act of defiance.
"Our staying in Ukraine, our continuing to work — it’s some kind of resistance of Russian invasion,” Vlaschenko said via Zoom, a barrage of shelling audible in the background. “The people together in Ukraine are ready to fight, not only with guns. We don’t want to lose our country.”
His resolve isn't unique. Like other Ukrainians whose labors aren't essential to the war effort, the scientists and academics want to continue their important work where they can.
A common refrain is that they want to stay connected to their scholarly community, which provides a shard of normalcy amid the chaos and violence, and “keep the light of Ukrainian science and humanities alive,” said Yevheniia Polishchuk, who teaches at Kyiv National Economic University.
As vice chair of the Young Scientists Council at Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science, Polishchuk organized an online survey of academics to assess their situation and needs after the Feb. 24 invasion. An estimated 4,000 to 6,000 scholars had left Ukraine by early April — mostly women with families — but about 100,000 stayed.
Most who went abroad wound up in Poland and elsewhere in Eastern Europe, getting temporary positions at European institutions. Some scientists have received grants from the Polish Academy of Sciences, U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and other organizations. Polishchuk, now in Krakow with her children and husband, is a visiting professor at a university for May and June but says she hopes to return to Kyiv when fighting stops.
“We don’t want the war to result in a brain drain from Ukraine,” she said.
While Ukrainian scholars are appealing to international scientific bodies for assistance — including remote work opportunities and access to journals, datasets, archives and other materials — there is also a will to prevent the war from permanently sapping talent and momentum from the country’s academic and professional ranks, which will be needed to rebuild after fighting stops.
“Most of our scholars do not want to move abroad permanently; they want to stay in Ukraine,” Polishchuk said.
Shortly after the war began, Ivan Slyusarev, a 34-year-old astronomer, helped the director of Kharkiv National University’s observatory move computers, monitors and other materials into the basement, which had sheltered equipment and historical artifacts when Nazi forces occupied the city during World War II.
The observatory’s main telescope is located in a field in Russia-occupied territory, about 70 kilometers (43 miles) from Kharkiv on the road to Donetsk. Slyusarev said he doesn’t know its condition, but thinks Ukrainian forces blew up a nearby bridge to stop the Russian advance.
He is relying on scientists outside Ukraine to continue his work. Astronomers in the Czech Republic have sent him observational data from their telescope so he can keep analyzing the properties of metallic asteroids. He also can see data from a small robotic telescope in Spain's Canary Islands. He operates mostly from a home office on the outskirts of Kharkiv.
Slyusarev, who says he became an astronomer because of “romantic” ideas about the stars, finds refuge in scientific discovery. Astronomy “produces only positive news” and is a welcome respite from daily life, he said.
“It’s very important in wartime,” he added.
After the war started, theoretical physicist and astronomer Oleksiy Golubov left Kharkiv to join his parents in Batkiv, a village in western Ukraine.
Although the buildings of the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology were “bombed and shelled and virtually destroyed,” Golubov said, the school continues to offer some remote classes. He has been keeping in touch with students online — in Kharkiv, in western Ukraine and in Poland and Germany.
The 36-year-old scientist is also a coordinator and trainer for the Ukrainian students preparing to compete in the International Physicists Tournament, a competition for tackling unsolved physics problems that is being held in Colombia this month. The students, who had been training online, met this week in Lviv for the first time — following train journeys delayed by the war.
“We still want to take part and prove that even inconveniences like war can’t stop us from doing good science and having a good education,” he said.
Golubov, who was turned down from joining the military because of a paralyzed hand, submitted a paper in March to the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics and wrote in the acknowledgements, “We are grateful to Ukrainians who are fighting to stop the war so that we can safely finish the revision of this article.”
Some scholars, like Ivan Patrilyak, dean of the history department at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, have enlisted. Eighteen months ago, he was hosting a speaker series on the legacy of World War II and lecturing about the Holocaust. Now, he's with a territorial defense unit in Kyiv.
Igor Lyman, a historian at the State Pedagogical University in Berdyansk, had to flee when Russian forces occupied the port city early in the war. Before leaving, he had seen the troops break into dormitories to interrogate students and order administrators to teach in Russian, rather than Ukrainian, and use a Moscow-approved curriculum. He said the directors "refused and resigned.”
He later settled in a camp for internally displaced persons at Chernivtsi National University, living in a dormitory with academics from Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Kherson and other cities.
“Each of these families has its own terrible story of war,” he wrote in an email. “And everyone, like me, dreams of our victory and coming back home.”
He said the Russian forces “are doing everything they can to impose their propaganda.”
Vlaschenko, the Kharkiv zoologist, wanted to protect 20 bats in his care from the shelling, so he carried them to his home, a walk of about an hour. It also helped to preserve his valuable research, which couldn't be easily replaced, even if buildings and labs can be rebuilt after the war.
“All the people who decided to stay in Kharkiv agreed to play this dangerous and potentially deadly lottery," he said, “because you never know in what areas a new rocket or new shell would hit.”
As he scrambles to record data and safeguard his rare samples, he sees it as part of his mission — “not only for us, but also for science in general.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Is there a new American motto: In nothing we trust?
By lots of measures, most in the U.S. lack much confidence in large institutions and have for years. Congress? Two big thumbs down. The presidency? Ehh. Americans are also distrustful of big business, unions, public schools and organized religion. Indeed, they hold abysmal views of the functioning of democracy itself.
The Supreme Court has been something of an exception. The one branch of government not dependent on public opinion has traditionally enjoyed higher public esteem than the branches elected by the people. Its above-the-fray reputation, cultivated with exquisite care, once served it well.
Now the justices face a reckoning over the audacious leak of an early draft opinion that strikes down the constitutional right to abortion, an episode that has deepened suspicions that the high court, for all its decorum, is populated by politicians in robes.
Republican members of Congress are suggesting a sinister left-wing plot to derail the outcome of the final decision. Liberals are alleging machinations from the right to lock the justices into their preliminary vote. For all that speculation, neither side knows who leaked the draft to Politico and why.
What’s clear is that the affair has popped a deferential bubble around the court.
“My confidence in the court has been rocked,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, one of the few Republican senators in favor of abortion rights, said with alarm. Vice President Kamala Harris accused the justices of mounting a “direct assault on freedom” if they vote as they signaled. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Trump-nominated justices of lying to Congress about their abortion views in their hearings.
Elected officials do not normally talk this way about the justices. But now, it seems, the jurists are fair game, just another contingent of power players in the Washington viper pit.
In contrast, after mounting a fierce legal fightto settle the implausibly close 2000 election, Democrat Al Gore held back his grievances about political taint on the court when it crushed his hopes in a decision that made Republican George W. Bush the president.
Gore didn’t hesitate to “accept the finality of this outcome,” as much as he said he disagreed with it. The deferential bubble was evident. But that decision became seen as the modern starting point in the erosion of trust in the court.
In the years since, Democrats gutted the filibuster on one front to help them populate the lower federal courts with as many judges as possible, knowing they were setting a precedent that could bite them in the future.
Then Republicans did the same for Supreme Court nominees in the judicial equivalent of nuclear escalation.
And there was Donald Trump. During his presidency, Trump specialized in what’s known by the political class as saying the quiet part out loud. This included his sizing up the judiciary as a political beast, made up of Democratic judges or Republican ones.
For the justices, who have long cloaked themselves in the notion that the politics ends once they ascend to the bench, it was a step too far when Trump accused “Obama judges” of standing in his way and otherwise disparaged judges he didn’t like.
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in an unusual statement rebuking Trump’s comments. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”
Yet people in the United States, in recent times, have grown suspicious about judicial independence, with a strong majority believing justices should keep their political views out of their decisions but not even 1 in 5 polledbelieving they do an excellent or good job of that.
As controversial as the Roe v. Wade decision affirming abortion rights was in 1973 and in the years since, it was not a ruling driven by partisanship. The vote was 7-2, with five of the justices in the majority nominated by Republican presidents.
Now, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a liberal on the conservative-majority court, warns that a reversal in 50 years of abortion rights would shatter the idea that American justice is blind to partisanship or party.
“Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?” she asked in a Mississippi abortion case in December. She said she thought it wouldn’t survive that.
OUT OF SIGHT
Except when a monumental decision like this abortion one comes out, or when Congress is screening court nominees in its performative hearings, the Supreme Court works largely out of sight and out of mind. But in New York City, the leak got Sequoia Snyder thinking about the court. Is it just one more institution not to be trusted?
“When you think about it, the power is not in the hands of the people,” said Snyder, 22. “We don’t vote on that. The Electoral College … the popular vote is ignored. The police are not very regulated, kind of can do what they want with impunity.
“Like every every facet of our society you go to, we don’t really have the power or a voice. So I just think it’s crazy that nine people have the final say on like everything in the country and they can never lose their job. It just seems weird.”
In Charleston, outside West Virginia’s only abortion clinic, Dennis Westover, a 72-year-old retired electrical engineer, sat in a lawn chair with an anti-abortion sign. He, too, sees weird doings from the court.
“One side or the other did it for a political motive to stir up some kind of stink,” he said of the leak. “We human beings do what we do for whatever we think is a good reason. … What was the reason? It couldn’t be a good one because you leaked Supreme Court privileged information.”
TRUST DEFICIT
In an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll last month, only 18% of U.S. adults said they have a “great deal” of confidence in the Supreme Court. About 27% have hardly any confidence in it.
The high court has historically received better ratings than the other branches and that remains so. In the most recent poll, just 4% have a great deal of confidence in Congress; 51% have hardly any. And 36% have hardly any confidence in the executive branch.
Still, the court’s standing has been deteriorating in recent years. The 2021 General Social Survey suggested confidence in the high court was among its lowest points in the last half century.
In September, a Gallup poll found 54% said those surveyed had at least a “fair amount” of confidence in the court, down from 67% in 2020. Only one other time in five decades has that confidence fallen below 60%.
The poor ratings of government couple with grim views of U.S. democracy and a disenchantment with the pillars of society almost everywhere you look.
Gallup has tracked public opinion of 14 core institutions across the spectrum — organized labor, the church, the media, the medical community among them — and found confidence in them sagging, with the share expressing high confidence never rising above 36% on average over 15 years. Only the military and small businesses get a resounding vote of confidence.
Overlaying everything is a sense that the very foundation of the republic is in trouble. In January, 53% said in an AP-NORC poll that democracy in the U.S. is not working well; only 8% thought it was working very or extremely well.
That state of affairs emanated from a 2020 election that saw Trump fight fiercely and futilely to reverse Democrat Joe Biden’s clear White House victory. Trump’s false allegations of a rigged election have resounded across the country as the two parties square off over state election laws in response.
In his effort to cling to power, though, Trump also confronted the limits of political influence in the judiciary as he and his campaign brought a battery of far-fetched legal challenges to courtrooms only to have them systematically fail.
“Trump judges” didn’t save him.

5 Safe And Cheap Dividend Stocks To Invest In (May 2022)
Summary
- This article is part of our monthly series where we highlight five companies that are large-cap, relatively safe, dividend-paying, and are offering large discounts to their historical norms.
- It's always a good idea to keep your wish list ready by separating the wheat from the chaff.
- We go over our filtering process to select just five conservative DGI stocks from more than 7,500 companies that are traded on US exchanges, including OTC networks. In addition, we present two other groups of five DGI stocks, each for investors who need higher yields.

Obviously, we have been on a roller coaster ride since the beginning of this year. As we write this, the S&P 500 is once again hovering under SPX4200. Once again, the focus is on the Fed. The Fed is behind the curve and now in a tight spot to balance the situation between dealing with the persistent inflation but at the same time not pushing the economy into a recession. Will the Fed be successful in taming inflation while still avoiding a full-blown recession? It is anybody's guess, but the market is very wary of their ability to do so. The only silver lining at the moment is that almost everyone is bearish, and that, in fact, may be a good sign for a bull rally, at least in the short term. Long term, it will really depend on if we are able to avoid a recession or not.
As always, being long-term investors, we don't pay too much attention to short-term market noise and keep the focus on the long-term game plan. We should always remind ourselves that there's only one thing certain in markets, and that's "uncertainty," and our portfolios should be structured in such a way that they provide decent and proportionate returns when the market is booming but preserve the capital when times get tough.
As long-term DGI investors, we need to pay attention to the quality of companies that we buy and the price we pay. Naturally, it helps to buy such companies when they're being offered relatively cheap. The goal of this series of articles is to find companies that are fundamentally strong, carry low debt, support reasonable, sustainable, and growing dividend yields, and also trade at relatively low or reasonable prices. These DGI stocks are not going to make anyone rich overnight, but if your goal is to attain financial freedom by owning stocks that should grow dividends over time, meaningfully and sustainably, then you are at the right place.
The market is not easy to navigate, even during the best of times. At the same time, we do not want to lose our sleep over our investments. So, it's all the more important that we invest in companies that have many years of dividend history, pay growing and sustainable dividends, and have low or manageable levels of debt. We remain on the lookout for such companies when they are trading cheap on a relative basis to the broader market as well as to their respective 52-week highs. We believe in keeping a buy list handy and dry powder ready so that we can use the opportunity when the time is right. Besides, we think, every month, this analysis is able to highlight some companies that otherwise would not be on our radar.
This article is part of our monthly series, where we scan the entire universe of roughly 7,500 stocks that are listed and traded on US exchanges, including over-the-counter (OTC) networks. However, our focus is limited to dividend-paying stocks. We usually highlight five stocks that may have temporary difficulties or lost favor with the market and offer deep discounts on a relative basis. However, that's not the only criteria that we apply. While seeking cheaper valuations, we also demand that the companies have an established business model, solid dividend history, manageable debt, and investment-grade credit rating. Please note that these are not recommendations to buy but should be considered as a starting point for further research.
This month, we highlight three groups of five stocks each that have an average dividend yield (as a group) of 4.78%, 6.14%, and 7.37%, respectively. The first list is for conservative and risk-averse investors, while the second one is for investors who seek higher yields but still want relatively safe investments. The third group is for yield-hungry investors but comes with an elevated risk, and we urge investors to exercise caution.
Notes: 1) Please note that when we use the term "safe" regarding stocks, it should be interpreted as "relatively safe" because nothing is absolutely safe in investing. Also, in our opinion, for a well-diversified portfolio, one should have 15-20 stocks at a minimum.
2) All tables in this article are created by the author unless explicitly specified. The stock data have been sourced from various sources such as Seeking Alpha, Yahoo Finance, GuruFocus, and CCC-List (dripinvesting).
Goals For the Selection Process
Note: Regular readers of this series could skip this section to avoid repetitiveness. However, we include this section for new readers to provide the necessary background and perspective.
We start with a fairly simple goal. We want to shortlist five companies that are large-cap, relatively safe, dividend-paying, and trading at relatively cheaper valuations in comparison to the broader market. The objective is to highlight some of the dividend-paying and dividend-growing companies that may be offering juicy dividends due to a temporary decline in their share prices. The excess decline may be due to an industry-wide decline or some kind of one-time setbacks like some negative news coverage or missing quarterly earnings expectations. We adopt a methodical approach to filter down the 7,500-plus companies into a small subset.
Our primary goal is income that should increase over time at a rate that at least beats inflation. Our secondary goal is to grow the capital and provide a cumulative growth rate of 9%-10% at a minimum. These goals are by and large in alignment with most retirees and income investors as well as DGI investors. A balanced DGI portfolio should keep a mix of high-yield, low-growth stocks along with some high-growth but low-yield stocks. That said, how you mix the two will depend upon your personal situation, including income needs, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
A well-diversified portfolio would normally consist of more than just five stocks and preferably a few stocks from each sector of the economy. However, in this periodic series, we try to shortlist and highlight just five stocks that may fit the goals of most income and DGI investors. But at the same time, we try to ensure that such companies are trading at attractive or reasonable valuations. However, as always, we recommend you do your due diligence before making any decision on them.
Selection Process
The S&P 500 currently yields less than 1.30%. Since our goal is to find companies for a dividend income portfolio, we should logically look for companies that pay yields that are at least similar to or better than the S&P 500. Of course, the higher, the better, but at the same time, we should not try to chase very high yields. If we try to filter for dividend stocks paying at least 1.30% or above, nearly 2,000 such companies are trading on US exchanges, including OTC networks. We will limit our choices to companies that have a market cap of at least $10 billion and a daily trading volume of more than 100,000 shares. We also will check that dividend growth over the last five years is positive, but there can be some exceptions.
We also want stocks that are trading at relatively cheaper valuations. But at this stage, we want to keep our criteria broad enough to keep all the good candidates on the list. So, we will measure the distance from the 52-week high but save it to use at a later stage.
Criteria to Shortlist
- Market cap > $10 billion
- Dividend yield > 1.30%
- Daily average volume > 100,000
- Dividend growth past five years >= 0.
By applying the above criteria, we got roughly 500 companies.
Narrowing Down the List
As a first step, we would like to eliminate stocks that have less than five years of dividend growth history. We cross-check our current list of over 500 stocks against the list of so-called Dividend Champions, Contenders, and Challengers originally defined and created by David Fish. Generally, the stocks with more than 25 years of dividend increases are called dividend Champions, while stocks with more than ten but less than 25 years of dividend increases are termed, Contenders. Further, stocks with more than five but less than ten years of dividend increases are called Challengers.
After we apply this filter, we're left with 245 companies on our list. However, so far in this list, we have demanded five or more years of consistent dividend growth. But what if a company had a very stable record of dividend payments but did not increase the dividends from one year to another. At times, some of these companies are foreign-based companies, and due to currency fluctuations, their dividends may appear to have been cut in US dollars, but in reality, that may not be true at all when looked at in the actual currency of reporting. At times, we may provide some exceptions when a company may have cut the dividend in the past but otherwise looks compelling. So, by relaxing some of the conditions, a total of 71 additional companies were considered to be on our list. We call them category 'B' companies. After including them, we had a total of 316 (245+71) companies that made our first list.
We then imported the various data elements from many sources, including CCC-list, GuruFocus, Fidelity, Morningstar, and Seeking Alpha, among others, and assigned weights based on different criteria as listed below:
- Current yield: Indicates the yield based on the current price.
- Dividend growth history (number of years of dividend growth): This provides information on how many years a company has paid and increased dividends on a consistent basis. For stocks under the category 'B' (defined above), we consider the total number of consecutive years of dividend paid rather than the number of years of dividend growth.
- Payout ratio: This indicates how comfortably the company can pay the dividend from its earnings. We prefer this ratio to be as low as possible, which would indicate the company's ability to grow the dividend in the future. This ratio is calculated by dividing the dividend amount per share by the EPS (earnings per share). The cash-flow payout ratio is calculated by dividing the dividend amount paid per share by the cash flow generated per share.
- Past five-year and 10-year dividend growth: Even though it's the dividend growth rate from the past, this does indicate how fast the company has been able to grow its earnings and dividends in the recent past. The recent past is the best indicator that we have to know what to expect in the next few years.
- EPS growth (average of previous five years of growth and expected next five years growth): As the earnings of a company grow, more than likely, dividends will grow accordingly. We will take into account the previous five years' actual EPS growth and the estimated EPS growth for the next five years. We will add the two numbers and assign weights.
- Chowder number: So, what's the Chowder number? This number has been named after well-known SA author Chowder, who first coined and popularized this factor. This number is derived by adding the current yield and the past five years' dividend growth rate. A Chowder number of "12" or more ("8" for utilities) is considered good.
- Debt/equity ratio: This ratio will tell us about the debt load of the company in relation to its equity. We all know that too much debt can lead to major problems, even for well-known companies. The lower this ratio, the better it is. Sometimes, we find this ratio to be negative or unavailable, even for well-known companies. This can happen for a myriad of reasons and is not always a reason for concern. This is why we use this ratio in combination with the debt/asset ratio (covered next).
- Debt/asset ratio: This ratio will tell us about the debt load in relation to the total assets of the company. In almost all cases, this ratio would be lower than the debt/equity ratio. Also, this ratio is important because, for some companies, the debt/equity ratio is not a reliable indicator.
- S&P's credit rating: This is the credit rating assigned by the rating agency S&P Global and is indicative of the company's ability to service its debt. This rating can be obtained from the S&P website.
- PEG ratio: This also is called the price/earnings-to-growth ratio. The PEG ratio is considered to be an indicator if the stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly priced. A lower PEG may indicate that a stock is undervalued. However, PEG for a company may differ significantly from one reported source to another, depending on which growth estimate is used in the calculation. Some use past growth, while others may use future expected growth. We're taking the PEG from the CCC list wherever available. The CCC list defines it as the price/earnings ratio divided by the five-year estimated growth rate.
- Distance from 52-week high: We want to select companies that are good, solid companies but also are trading at cheaper valuations currently. They may be cheaper due to some temporary down cycle or some combination of bad news or simply having a bad quarter. This criterion will help bring such companies (with a cheaper valuation) near the top, as long as they excel in other criteria as well. This factor is calculated as (current price - 52-week high) / 52-week high.
- Sales or Revenue growth: This is the average growth rate in annual sales or revenue of the company over the last five years. A company can only grow its earnings power as long as it can grow its revenue. Sure, it can grow the earnings by cutting costs, but that can't go on forever.
Below we provide a table (as a downloadable Excel spreadsheet) with weights assigned to each of the ten criteria. The table shows the raw data for each criterion for each stock and the weights for each criterion, and the total weight. Please note that the table is sorted on the "Total Weight" or the "Quality Score." The list contains 316 names and is attached as a file for readers to download:

Selection of the Top 50
To select our final 30 companies, we will follow a multi-step process:
We will first bring down the list to roughly 50 to 60 names by automated criteria, as listed below. In the second step, which is mostly manual, we will bring the list down to about 30.
- Step 1: We will first take the top 20 names in the above table (based on total weight or quality score).
- Step 2: Now, we will sort the list based on dividend yield (highest at the top). We take the top 10 after the sort to the final list. We only take the top three from any single industry segment because, otherwise, some of the segments, like energy, tend to overcrowd (selected 12 names).
- Step 3: We will sort the list based on five-year dividend growth (highest at the top). We will take the top 10 after the sort to the final list (selected 11 names).
- Step 4: We will then sort the list based on the credit rating (numerical weight) and select the top 10 stocks with the best credit rating. However, we only take the top two or three from any single industry segment because, otherwise, some of the segments tend to overcrowd (selected 11 names).
- Step 5: We will also select ten names that have the largest discount from their 52-wk highs, as long as they meet other criteria.
From the above steps, we had a total of 64 names in our final consideration. The following stocks appeared more than once:
Appeared two times: BHP, BLK, RIO, SCCO, SWK, TROW (6 duplicates)
After removing seven duplicates, we are left with 58 names.
Since there are multiple names in each industry segment, we will just keep a maximum of three or four names from the top from any one segment. We keep the following:
Financial Services, Banking, and Insurance:
Banking- Regional:
Financial Services - Others: TROW, BEN
Investment Banking: MS
Insurance: MFC
Business Services:
Conglomerates:
Industrials:
Chemicals:
Materials/Mining/Gold:

Energy:
Pipelines/ Midstream: EPD, ENB, MMP
Utilities:

Final Step: Narrowing Down to Just Five Companies
This step is mostly a subjective one and is based solely on our perception. The readers could certainly differ from our selections, and they may come up with their own set of five companies with a target yield, but they should pay attention to keeping the group diversified among different sectors or industry segments. Below, we make three lists for different sets of goals, dividend income, and risk levels. We try to make each of the groups highly diversified and try to ensure that the safety of dividends matches the overall risk profile of the group. Nonetheless, here are our three final lists for this month:
Final A-List (Conservative Safe Income):
Average yield: 4.78%
Table-2A: A-LIST (Conservative Income)
We think this set of five companies (in the A-List) would form a solid diversified group of dividend companies that would be appealing to income-seeking and conservative investors, including retirees and near-retirees. The average yield is very nice at 4.78% compared to 1.35% of the S&P 500. In fact, this is a bit above our target of 4% for this group. But please keep in mind that RIO's dividend is variable, and it could come down a bit in the future. The average dividend growth history is roughly 20 years, and all of the companies have a credit rating of "A" or better. The average discount from a 52-week high is very high for these stocks at 27%.
RIO Tinto: Now, a few words about RIO Tinto. RIO has been recommended in this series for the last couple of months. Also, we may like to mention that it was first recommended by this series several months ago at much lower prices, and since then, the stock price has moved up. However, the prices have come down once again, and it is in or close to the buy range. It is also a good buy in the inflationary environment that we are currently in. The current bout of inflation is not transitory, so stocks like RIO may be a good choice as a hedge against inflation. However, investors should be aware that its dividend record is not very consistent, and it pays a semi-annual variable dividend that can change depending on market conditions. That said, RIO has paid dividends continuously for the last 12 years. At the same time, currently, the yield is very high at over 11%. Even though there is no indication of a dividend cut but since it has a variable dividend policy, and if we were to assume that the dividend amount in the year 2023 comes down by 20%, the yield would still be > 8% at the current prices.
The A-List is for conservative and risk-averse investors, and that's the reason the average dividend yield is reasonable but not very high usually (this month, it is a bit of an exception). However, if you must need even higher dividends, consider B-List or C-List, as presented below.
Final B-List (High Yield, Moderately Safe):
Average yield: 6.14%
Note: Very often, we include a few low-risk stocks in B-List and C-list. Also, oftentimes, a stock can appear in multiple lists. This is done on purpose. We try to make each of our lists fairly diversified among different sectors/industry segments of the economy. We try to include one or two highly conservative names in the high yield list to make the overall group much safer.
Table-2B: B-LIST (High Yield)
In the B-List, the overall risk profile of the group becomes slightly elevated compared to A-List. That said, the group will likely provide safe dividends for many years.
This list offers an average yield for the group of 6.14%, an average of 20 years of dividend growth history, and quite high past dividend growth. In this list, four of the five positions offer very good discounts compared to their 52-week highs. VZ and ENB offer very attractive dividends that are relatively safe. RIO was included for inflation hedge and very high dividend.
Final C-LIST (Yield-Hungry, Less Safe):
Average yield: 7.37%
Notes:
Note 1: Please pay attention that MMP is an MLP (Master Limited Partnership) and issues form K-1 at tax time instead of regular 1099-Div. Please use your due diligence.
Note 2: Oftentimes, a stock can appear in multiple lists. We try to include one or two conservative names in the high yield list to make the overall group much safer.
Table-2C: C-LIST (Yield-Hungry, Elevated Risk)
The C-List includes two stocks (BEN and RIO) with high credit ratings (A or higher), whereas the other three have investment-grade ratings. All five names provide reasonably high yields.
MPW is a medical REIT, and its yield is very attractive at 6.3%. The overall group is very diversified, and that makes it reasonably safe.
Apparently, this list (C-List) is for yield-hungry DGI investors, so we urge due diligence to determine if it would suit your personal situation. Nothing comes free, so there will be more risk involved with this group. That said, it's a highly diversified group spread among five different sectors. The average yield for the group of five goes up to 7.37%.
We may like to caution that each company comes with certain risks and concerns. Sometimes these risks are real, but other times, they may be a bit overblown and temporary. So, it's always recommended to do further research and due diligence.
Conclusion
In the first week of every month, we start with a fairly large list of dividend-paying stocks and filter our way down to just a handful of stocks that meet our selection criteria and income goals. In this article, we have presented three groups of stocks (five each) with different goals in mind to suit the varying needs of a wider audience. Even though the risk profile of each group is different, each group in itself is fairly balanced and diversified.
The first group of five stocks is for highly conservative investors who prioritize the safety of the dividend and preservation of their capital. The second group reaches for a higher yield but with only a slightly higher risk. However, the C-group comes with an elevated risk and is certainly not suited for everyone.
This month, the first group yields 4.78%, while the second group elevates the yield to 6.14%. We also presented a C-List for yield-hungry investors with a 7.37% yield. We believe the first two groups of five stocks each make an excellent watchlist for further research and buying at an opportune time.

I share my experiences on SA by way of writing three or four articles a month as well as my portfolio strategies. You could also visit my website “FinanciallyFreeInvestor.com” for additional information.
I focus on investing in dividend-growing stocks with a long-term horizon. In addition to a DGI portfolio, I manage and invest in a few high-income portfolios as well as some Risk-adjusted Rotation Strategies. I believe "Passive Income" is what makes you 'Financially Free.' My personal goal is to generate at least 60-65% of my retirement income from dividends and the rest from other sources like real estate etc.

In addition to my long-term positions, I use several "Rotational" risk-adjusted portfolios, where positions are traded/rotated on a monthly basis. Besides, at times, I use "Options" to generate income. I am also invested in a small growth-oriented Fin/Tech portfolio (NFLX, PYPL, GOOGL, AAPL, JPM, AMGN, BMY, MSFT, TSLA, MA, V, FB, AMZN, BABA, SQ, ARKK). From time to time, I may also own other stocks for trading purposes, which I do not consider long-term (currently own AVB, MAA, BX, BXMT, CPT, MPW, DAL, DWX, FAGIX, SBUX, RWX, ALC). I may use some experimental portfolios or mimic some portfolios (10-Bagger and Deep Value) from my HIDIY Marketplace service, which are not part of my long-term holdings. Thank you for reading.
