There was a 6-foot-4, 220-pound hole in the Washington lineup in Game 2 against the Florida Panthers.
Tom Wilson’s injury is one of many around the NHL playoffs that could tip the balance of a series. The Pittsburgh Penguins are down to their third-string goaltender against the New York Rangers, while the Nashville Predators will be without their starter again in Game 3 against the heavily favored Colorado Avalanche, who are up 2-0.
Washington and Florida are tied going into Game 3 on Saturday (1 p.m. EDT, ESPN), though the first two were polar opposites. Wilson scored a power-play goal early in the opener before leaving with a lower-body injury and the Capitals built off that and pounced on opportunities before the Panthers took over in Game 2 with the rugged right winger sidelined.
“When you lose a player like Tom, it’s tough,” Capitals coach Peter Laviolette said. “It would have been great if we could have just moved from Game 1 to Game 2 and had the same lineup, but that opportunity wasn’t there, it wasn’t present and so we have to move forward.”
Panthers interim coach Andrew Brunette wondered if Wilson might play for the Capitals sooner rather than later. His likely replacement, rookie Brett Leason, is gritty but Wilson set career highs with 24 goals, 28 assists and 52 points this season. He’s also an enforcer.
“Definitely for them, losing him hurts,” Brunette said. “He epitomizes the power forward playoff kind of player. … He brings that component to the game and he brings an edge and he brings a hardness that you have to be very aware of, and he’s got some skill. He’s a very valuable player to their team.”
RANGERS at PENGUINS, series tied 1-1 (7 p.m., TNT)
Tristan Jarry was valuable to the Penguins before a lower-body injury late in the regular season knocked him out and set up Casey DeSmith as the playoff starter. DeSmith was injured midway through the second overtime of the series opener at New York and was replaced by Louis Domingue, who stopped all 17 shots he faced in relief.
The Rangers beat Domingue and Pittsburgh to even the series. After DeSmith underwent core muscle surgery and was ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs and with Jarry not close to returning, it’s now Domingue’s show.
“He’s got experience — he’s a really good goalie,” forward Teddy Blueger said. “We’re all behind him. We know he can get the job done. I think he’s played really well for us.”
AVALANCHE at PREDATORS, Colorado leads 2-0 (4 p.m., TNT)
Connor Ingram played very well in relief for Nashville on Thursday night, stopping 49 of 51 shots in a 2-1 OT loss at Colorado. With starter Juuse Saros out with a lower-body injury, Ingram got the call after the Avalanche lit up David Rittich for five goals on 13 shots in the series opener.
Predators coach John Hynes on Friday ruled out Saros for Game 3, so Ingram appears in line to get the nod again. But offense is a bigger problem now for Nashville after going 0 for 4 on the power play in Game 2 and getting outshot 51-26.
“We’ve got to still find a way to close on them, not give them as much time,” Predators defenseman Alexander Carrier said. “We all know in this room that we’ve got to be better.”
FLAMES at STARS, series tied 1-1 (9:30 p.m., TNT)
The Pacific Division champion Calgary Flames also expect better now that they are tied with the Dallas Stars after a 2-0 shutout loss. Each team is relatively healthy, and yet the series has featured only two goals scored against a goaltender — a far cry from the high-scoring trend across the league in the first round.
Credit Calgary’s Jacob Markstrom and Dallas’ Jake Oettinger for that, along with some old-school coaching by Darryl Sutter and Rick Bowness.
“The only thing that matters is wins,” Oettinger said. “They have a great goalie on the other end and we know it’s going to be tight, so the margin for error for me is very slim.”

MUCC Call to Action! Critical Federal CWD Legislation Pending
Tell Senator Stabenow that CWD research and management is a priority for her constituents!
On April 28, Sens. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) introduced legislation to provide federal aid to states for CWD research and management.
This legislation, S.4111, is nearly identical to HR 5608 which passed out of the House of Representatives by an overwhelming, bipartisan 393-33 vote in December of last year.
This bill would authorize both research and management programs by providing funding to state and tribal wildlife and agriculture agencies to manage and/or mitigate CWD outbreaks, as well as research institutions to study the disease.
It would authorize $70 million in total spending: $35 million each for research and management and require 75% of the management dollars be allocated to state and tribal wildlife agencies. The bill also directs the USDA secretary to review the Herd Certification Program, governing captive cervid operations.
The time to act is now.
The legislation has been referred to the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee chaired by Michigan’s Sen. Debbie Stabenow. Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) urges our members, and all concerned conservationists, to call or write Senator Stabenow’s office asking her to take up this bill in her committee, sign on as a cosponsor, and move it to the full Senate for a vote as quickly as possible.
Please use the form provided found on MUCC’s website here to send Sen. Stabenow an email now! Feel free to edit the message as you see fit.
If you prefer, you can call her office at (202) 224-4822 or email her via her email form found here. A paper letter can be mailed to:
Senator Debbie Stabenow
731 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510-2204

(CNN) — In their search for a missing former jailer and an inmate facing murder charges, authorities announced a key discovery Friday: They located the car they believed the couple was traveling in.
The car had been sitting in a Tennessee tow lot for about a week after local officials found it abandoned in the woods and without any identifying information last Friday, the same day the pair went missing, and towed it away.
It means the two drove about two hours north to Williamson County, Tennessee, after disappearing from a county jail in Florence, Alabama, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said during a news conference Friday. .
But authorities know little about what came after that.
“Now we know where the car is, we know which way they went,” the sheriff said. “We’re trying to canvass the area for witnesses, also trying to investigate, see if there were any reported stolen vehicles in that area during that time.”
Authorities believe the vehicle may have had mechanical problems that caused it to stop abruptly in the area. But the sheriff said investigators still don’t know if the couple stole another vehicle or if someone else drove them and where they went.
“We’re kind of back to square one,” he said. “After Friday afternoon, when they abandoned that car, which way they went from there, we don’t know.”
Vicky White, 56, and Casey White, 38, have been missing for more than a week. The two, who authorities say may have had a romantic relationship, are not related.
Prison officer using aliases
Vicky White, who was deputy director of corrections for Lauderdale County, released Casey White from the county jail Friday morning, saying she would take him in for a mental health evaluation.
She said that she was going to get medical attention after leaving the inmate because she was not feeling well.
The two have not been seen since. The patrol car that the officer and the inmate took out of jail was found abandoned in a shopping center parking lot. Authorities believe the couple left the lot in a different vehicle: the 2007 Ford SUV that Vicky White purchased and parked there the night before, Singleton previously said.
The couple had known each other since at least 2020 and had developed a romantic relationship, the sheriff told CNN earlier this week.
Prior to her disappearance, Vicky White had announced plans to retire and sold her home for well below market value.
He now has an active warrant for his arrest for allegedly allowing or facilitating flight in the first degree. She is no longer an employee of the sheriff’s office, the office said, adding that although Friday was her last day of work, her paperwork was never finalized. Her jail keys, radio and handcuffs were found inside the abandoned truck.
Investigators believe Vicky White had a large amount of money when the couple disappeared, Singleton said Friday, adding that authorities are working to find out more details.
“His knowledge of corrections and his knowledge of the procedures that we use here at the sheriff’s office definitely played to his advantage. I think this was a very well thought out plan,” Singleton said during Friday’s news conference.
“His knowledge left us… lost,” the sheriff added. “It’s a very calculated plan.”
Vicky White has also used aliases, the sheriff added, including to purchase the vehicle. “I guess she probably got rid of those aliases and now she probably got some new identities.”
Officials share photos and rewards
The couple must be considered dangerous and may be armed with weapons including an AR-15 rifle, handguns and a shotgun, the US Marshals Service said.
The agency said Casey White threatened his ex-girlfriend and her sister in 2015 if he ever came out, “he would kill them and he wanted the police to kill him.” Authorities warned the inmate’s “potential targets” and took steps to protect them, the Marshals Service said.
The service also published several photos of Casey White and her tattoos, as well as photographic depictions of what Vicky White, who was blonde when she disappeared, would have looked like with darker and shorter hair.
A photographic rendering from the US Marshals Service showed what Vicky White would look like with darker hair.
The agency is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to the inmate’s capture and up to $5,000 for the jailer.
On Friday, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced additional rewards of $5,000 each for information leading to the capture and arrest of Vicky White and Casey White.
Asked Friday what he would say to Vicky White if she could hear him, the sheriff said: “You know we’re going to find you. Hopefully we find you safe.”
“If you’re safe right now, still safe, get out while you can and turn yourself in to local authorities, wherever you are,” Singleton said.

Which Windows tablet is best?
Desktop and laptop computers are great, but sometimes a tablet is the most useful way to consume media or complete work and school assignments. In those cases, it’s not always easy to switch from a versatile Windows PC to a slightly more limited iPad or Android-based tablet.
If you need the ultimate in portability and convenience but don’t want to sacrifice functionality, consider a Windows tablet. The best one right now is the Lenovo ThinkPad X12. It sports powerful hardware and a better battery life than most competitors.
What to know before you buy a Windows tablet
Why to use a Windows tablet
Windows is the leading desktop and laptop operating system in the world by a large margin, and for good reason. It’s not only highly versatile and suitable for a variety of enthusiasts’ needs, it’s also easier than ever for beginners to use. With the current, highly refined Windows 10 release and the upstart 11th generation of the iconic OS, there are more straightforward and convenient apps, widgets and other integrations than ever.
There are some limitations
It takes some compromises to pack enough hardware into a half-inch-thick package to run Windows quickly and reliably. At a basic level, there’s just not enough space for most high-end chipsets and components. There’s also the issue of heat buildup, one of the biggest hurdles for PCs in general.
Tablets also tend to compromise in terms of battery life. Batteries — especially high-capacity ones — take up the most space and generate the most heat of any component in an ultraportable laptop.
Convertible vs. detachable 2-in-1s
A 2-in-1 laptop is one that works as both a laptop and tablet. Windows tablets fall into this category by necessity, as it would be immensely difficult to use a Windows tablet for a very long time without connecting a keyboard.
As their name implies, detachable 2-in-1s let you remove the keyboard and use the device like a true tablet. In contrast, convertible 2-in-1s sport extended-range hinges so you can fold the keyboard underneath the display, creating a de facto tablet.
There are plenty of convertible 2-in-1 Windows laptops from major manufacturers. They’re generally similar to standard laptops in terms of size and weight, which means they’re usually tough to use with one hand. Detachable 2-in-1s, however, deliver nearly the same portability, convenience and performance as Android tablets and iPads (although Windows tablets are almost always heavier).
What to look for in a quality Windows tablet
Performance
To keep costs down and battery life up, a decent number of manufacturers make significant compromises when it comes to performance. The problem is that Windows is somewhat of a resource hog that can easily bring an old processor or tiny solid-state drive to its knees. Avoid Windows tablets from generic or otherwise questionable manufacturers, as you’re unlikely to have a good user experience.
Battery life
None can compete with full-size laptops, but some Windows detachables do offer just about all-day battery life. Most commonly, though, you’ll see roughly six hours of real-world run time from a Windows tablet. To get more from your device without plugging it into the wall, consider a USB-C Power Delivery power bank that can put out at least 45 watts.
Storage capacity
Microsoft claims you can install Windows on a 32-gigabyte drive, but don’t believe it. You’ll need at least 64 GB for a passable experience, and 128 GB is a much better target. If you opt for a tablet with only 64 GB of storage, you might have a better time keeping the Windows installation in high-efficiency S Mode.
System memory
Once again, Microsoft claims that 4 GB is plenty of RAM for Windows. It’s certainly possible to get by with just the bare minimum, but you’ll have a noticeably better experience with 8 GB of RAM or more.
How much you can expect to spend on a Windows tablet
The most budget-friendly options run about $350, although you’ll have to spend a bit more on accessories such as a keyboard and stylus. At the top end, you can invest as much as $2,000 in a Windows tablet that performs as well as a normal laptop.
Windows tablet FAQ
Can you play games on Windows tablets?
A. You can absolutely play casual games on a Windows tablet. There are even some that work better on tablets than notebooks due to touchscreen controls. You won’t have any luck playing graphically intensive games, though, due to the inherently bad heat dissipation and relatively below-average performance of Windows tablets.
How do you improve battery life?
A. Some changes to the way you work can offer minor battery life increases. Keep the screen brightness as low as comfortable. Minimize multitasking, as background programs siphon valuable power from the memory and processor. Keep the Windows Battery Saver option turned on whenever possible. Make sure to disconnect and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when you’re not using them.
Then there’s undervolting. The opposite of overclocking, undervolting involves reducing the amount of electricity your CPU and GPU use. You can do so without reducing the processors’ clock speeds, and you may see a noticeable increase in battery life. If you reduce clock speeds or disable your CPU’s turbo boost, you’ll see even better results.
You’ll want to find a guide on undervolting. There are many such guides. Unlike overclocking, undervolting works with a huge range of everyday laptops and isn’t dangerous, especially if you exercise caution.
What’s the best Windows tablet to buy?
Top Windows tablet
What you need to know: It’s packed with premium hardware and, surprisingly, doesn’t cost an absolute fortune.
What you’ll love: Move over, Microsoft, because there’s a new sheriff in town when it comes to ultraportable Windows machines. Part of arguably the most famous laptop family in history, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X12 offers the kind of performance you’d expect from a full-size notebook PC. While most competitors cost an arm and a leg and come in limited configurations, you can get a surprisingly good deal on the X12, especially if you order the perfect model for your needs directly from Lenovo.
What you should consider: It doesn’t have any USB-A, HDMI or Ethernet ports, and the keyboard is sold separately.
Where to buy: Sold by Lenovo and Amazon
Top Windows tablet for the money
What you need to know: This highly compact option truly fills the role of a tablet, as the smallest and most affordable model that actually works well.
What you’ll love: It’s tiny compared to almost all its competitors, and indeed it’s the smallest device we’ve ever seen that can run Windows without any major issues. It’s also reasonably priced, which you can’t say for most of Microsoft’s in-house laptops. It’s even available with optional 4G LTE connectivity for the ultimate in portability.
What you should consider: While handy, its performance is somewhat limited by the high-efficiency CPU. To mitigate the performance issue, the Surface Go ships with a special Windows S Mode that limits which programs you can install and how fast they run. You can disable S Mode and run the standard Windows 11 installation at any time.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
What you need to know: For a long time, the Surface Pro lineup was the only high-performing Windows tablet in existence.
What you’ll love: It runs just about as smoothly as any traditional clamshell laptop and comes in several configurations to meet your specific needs. The display, though, is where it really shines. It’s bright and colorful, with high contrast and a 120-hertz refresh rate, something even most standard notebook PCs can’t claim.
What you should consider: This kind of engineering feat and feature set does not come cheap. In fact, you still have to purchase the keyboard separately.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon

Just 10 miles from the Rio Grande, Mike Helle's farm is so short of immigrant workers that he’s replaced 450 acres of labor-intensive leafy greens with crops that can be harvested by machinery.
In Houston, Al Flores increased the price of his BBQ restaurant’s brisket plate because the cost of the cut doubled due to meatpacking plants’ inability to fully staff immigrant-heavy production lines. In the Dallas area, Joshua Correa raised prices on the homes his company builds by $150,000 to cover increased costs stemming partly from a lack of immigrant labor.
After immigration to the United States tapered off during the Trump administration — then ground to a near complete halt for 18 months during the coronavirus pandemic — the country is waking up to a labor shortage partly fueled by that slowdown.
The U.S. has, by some estimates, 2 million fewer immigrants than it would have if the pace had stayed the same, helping power a desperate scramble for workers in many sectors, from meatpacking to homebuilding, that is also contributing to supply shortages and price increases.
“These 2 million missing immigrants are part of the reason we have a labor shortage,” said Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California at Davis, who calculated the shortfall. “In the short run, we are going to adjust to these shortages in the labor market through an increase in wages and in prices.”
The labor issues are among several contributors to the highest inflation in 40 years in the United States — from supply chains mangled by the pandemic to a surge in energy and commodity prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Steve Camarota, a researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for less immigration, believes a spike in illegal immigration under President Joe Biden will make up whatever shortfall lingers from the pandemic. He also contends wage increases in low-paying sectors like agriculture are minor contributors to inflation.
“I don't think wages going up is bad for the poor, and I think mathematically it is not possible to drive down inflation by limiting wages at the bottom,” Camarota told The Associated Press.
Immigration is rapidly returning to its pre-pandemic levels, researchers say, but the U.S. would need a significant acceleration to make up its deficit. Given a sharp decline in births in the United States over the past two decades, some economists forecast the overall pool of potential workers will start shrinking by 2025.
The immigrant worker shortage comes as the U.S. political system is showing less of an appetite for increasing immigration. Democrats — who control all branches of the federal government and more recently have been the party more friendly to immigration — haven’t tried to advance major legislation permitting more new residents to the country. A recent Gallup poll showed worries about illegal immigration at a two-decade high. With a tough election for their party looming in November, Democrats are increasingly divided about the Biden administration’s attempt to end pandemic-related restrictions on seeking asylum.
“At some point we either decide to become older and smaller or we change our immigration policy,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, an economist and former official in President George W. Bush's administration who is president of the center-right American Action Forum. He acknowledged a change in immigration policy is unlikely: “The bases of both parties are so locked in.”
That’s certainly the case in Republican-dominated Texas, which includes the longest and busiest stretch of the southern border. The Legislature in 2017 forced cities to comply with federal immigration agents seeking people who are in the U.S. illegally. Gov. Greg Abbott sent the Texas National Guard to patrol the border and recently created traffic snarls by ordering more inspections at border ports.
The turn against immigration distresses some Texas business owners. “Immigration is very important for our workforce in the United States,” said Correa. “We just need it.”
He's seeing delays of two to three months on his projects as he and his subcontractors — from drywallers to plumbers to electricians — struggle to field crews. Correa has raised the standard price of his houses from $500,000 to about $650,000.
“We’re feeling it and, if we’re feeling it at the end of the day as builders and developers, the consumer pays the price,” said Correa, who spoke from Pensacola, Florida, where he brought a construction crew as a favor to a client whose hasn’t been able to find laborers to fix a beach house damaged by Hurricane Sally in 2020.
The share of the U.S. population born in another country — 13.5% in the latest census — is the highest it has been since the 19th century. But even before Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election vowing to cut immigration, migration to the United States was slowing. The Great Recession dried up many jobs that drew workers to the country, legally or illegally. Rising standards of living in Latin America have prodded more people to stay put — or to return from the United States.
Flores, who runs a chain of Mexican restaurants as well as his barbecue restaurant, said while the COVID-19 pandemic was a bigger shock to his industry, the immigration slowdown has hit it hard — and not just for meatpackers that supply his restaurant’s brisket. “You’ve got a lot of positions that aren’t being filled,” he said.
He's steadily raised pay, up to $15 an hour recently. “This is a culmination of years and years,” said Flores, who’s president of the Greater Houston Restaurant Association.
Helle, who raises onion, cabbage, melons and kale just outside the border town of McAllen, Texas, is also paying more to his workers, who are almost exclusively immigrants. People born in the U.S., he says, won’t work the fields regardless of the pay.
Before he could find farmworkers just in the region. Now he’s joined a federal program to bring agricultural workers across the border. It’s more expensive for him, but he said it’s the only way he can keep his crops from spoiling in the ground.
Helle, 60, has farmed the area for decades. “I live 10 miles from the Rio Grande river and I never in my life thought we’d be in this situation.” | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Less-immigrant-labor-in-US-contributing-to-prices-17156264.php | 2022-05-07T14:27:20Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Less-immigrant-labor-in-US-contributing-to-prices-17156264.php | true | 32 |

Sheffield United vs Fulham. Sky Bet Championship.
Bramall Lane.
Report and free match highlights from the Sky Bet Championship clash between Sheffield United and Fulham at Bramall Lane as goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Iliman Ndiaye, Sander Berge and Enda Stevens sealed victory for the Blades.
Saturday 7 May 2022 15:09, UK
Sheffield United secured a play-off spot after sweeping aside champions Fulham 4-0.
Knowing a win would guarantee the extension of their season, the Blades were 3-0 up after 25 minutes following goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge.
Enda Stevens rounded off the scoring early in the second half, with Nottingham Forest next up in the play-offs for Paul Heckingbottom's men.
The hosts formed a guard of honour as the Fulham players came out of the tunnel before kick-off, the champions looking for a 28th win of the season, and Bobby Decordova-Reid had an early shot blocked before United took the lead.
The goal came in the 10th minute when Ben Osborn played the ball back to Oli Norwood, whose cross was met by a near-post header from Gibbs-White with the ball going in off Paulo Gazzaniga's left-hand post.
Gibbs-White threatened again soon afterwards with a shot which hit the side netting, while at the other end, Kenny Tete tried a rising shot from distance which cleared the bar.
The home side continued to press with Ndiaye having a shot deflected wide and Jack Robinson putting a glancing header over from the resulting corner.
United increased their lead when Berge took advantage of a Jean Michael Seri slip and found Gibbs-White in the area and he squared to Ndiaye (21) who fired past Gazzaniga from around 12 yards out.
It was 3-0 four minutes later when Gibbs-White headed the ball on to Ndiaye whose low cross was swept in by Berge at the near post.
Fulham boss Marco Silva made a change after half an hour with Josh Onomah taking over from Nathaniel Chalobah.
Onomah was soon involved in the action, firing a shot from the edge of the area straight at Wes Foderingham.
The visitors threatened again when Neeskens Kebano sliced an angled shot wide and then Fabio Carvalho saw his effort saved by Foderingham with his legs.
Stevens added a fourth goal four minutes after the restart when Berge found him unmarked inside the area following a flowing move and he applied the finish.
The hosts eased off the pressure after the fourth goal went in; Gibbs-White put an effort over while John Egan saw his goal-bound header blocked.
Fulham were restricted to a low shot from Kebano which was deflected wide and a header from Rodrigo Muniz which was saved by Foderingham down low to his right.
It was an impressive performance from United which will boost their confidence going into the play-offs, with Forest eventually confirmed as their opponents after late drama in their game at Hull.

Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Alexander Skarsgård lost his voice — and found catharsis — as a Viking berserker: The Swedish actor describes himself as "quite a mellow guy." Playing a Viking warrior in the film The Northman gave Skarsgård a chance to tap into his animalistic nature.
Bonnie Raitt extends the boundaries of her signature sound with 'Just Like That ...': More than 50 years after the release of her first album, Raitt's voice remains a subtle instrument: earthy with an ache around the edges. Its sly intimacy is, as always, a deep pleasure.
Comedy writer Jessi Klein reflects on the disorienting experience of new motherhood: Having a baby changes everything: "There's just no way to comprehend how completely your old identity vanishes," Klein says. Her new book is I'll Show Myself Out: Essays on Midlife & Motherhood.

Mysore/Mysuru: After the successful construction of hi-tech, eco-friendly and animal-friendly enclosures for primates including orangutans and gorillas out of the funds released as per the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of companies, Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo) is all set to get enclosures for sloth bears.
The enclosures have come in for great public appreciation and the primates are thriving in them. The sloth bear enclosure will be built out of the CSR funds of Bank Note Paper Mill India, Mysuru (BNPM) that has already contributed money towards the orangutan enclosures. In addition, the BNPM will contribute to ring-tailed lemur enclosure.
The BNPM had contributed a sum of Rs. 70 lakh for constructing the enclosure for orangutans and will contribute an additional Rs. 99 lakh to build enclosure for sloth bear and Rs. 91 lakh for one more enclosure to orangutans. Funds to construct enclosure for ring-tailed lemur would also be released in due course.
A proposal has been sent to Infosys Foundation seeking Rs. 3.6 crore to build near-natural enclosures for female gorillas that will be brought from Germany. The Foundation has already spent Rs. 3.3 crore on building enclosures for 14-year-old male Thabo and 8-year-old male Demba that were brought from Germany. In all, the Foundation will spend about Rs. 7 crore for the enclosures.
The foundation stone for sloth bear enclosures was laid on May 4 under the leadership of Zoo Authority of Karnataka (ZAK) Chairman L.R. Mahadevaswamy. Welcoming the gesture of companies who have come forward to contribute their CSR funds that is resulting in the overall development of the Zoo, he said that contributing to the welfare of the animals would bring fame both to the companies and to the Zoo.
BNPM General Manager Dr. N. Krishnaswamy said that while the BNPM had contributed many things to the Zoo, it was ready to contribute natural enclosures for sloth bear and ring-tailed lemur.
N.G. Murali and N.A. Reddy of BNPM, Zoo Executive Director Ajith M. Kulkarni, ZAK members Gokul Govardhan and Jyothi Rechanna, Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA) Chairman A. Hemanthkumar Gowda, Kannada Book Authority Chairman Nandeesh Hanche and others were present. | https://starofmysore.com/city-zoo-to-get-enclosures-for-sloth-bear-ring-tailed-lemur/ | 2022-05-07T14:43:41Z | https://starofmysore.com/city-zoo-to-get-enclosures-for-sloth-bear-ring-tailed-lemur/ | false | 1 |
My Move To Sign Luis Diaz Rejected By Man United Board – Rangnick
Manchester United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, has his request to sign a striker late in the January transfer window was rejected by the club’s board.
The German had requested to sign the likes of Luis Diaz, Dusan Vlahovic or Julian Alvarez in January.
He stated this ahead of Man United’s away Premier League tie with Brighton on Saturday evening.
“The answer at the time was no, there was no player on the market that could really help us – 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,” Rangnick was quoted by Sky Sports as saying.
“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,” he said. | https://concise.ng/435408-2/ | 2022-05-07T14:44:00Z | https://concise.ng/435408-2/ | false | 1 |
Cobb didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with eight strikeouts in five innings.
Making his second start since returning from the IL, Cobb retired the first 10 Cardinals but slowed down from there with the outing ending in a two-run Harrison Bader home run. Manager Gabe Kapler opted to pull Cobb after the fifth despite a reasonable 74 pitches, meaning the 34-year-old has now failed to surpass five innings in each of his four starts. He'll carry a 4.80 ERA and 1.53 WHIP into his next start, tentatively slated to come Wednesday against Colorado. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/giants-alex-cobb-whiffs-eight-in-five-innings/ | 2022-05-07T14:57:32Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/giants-alex-cobb-whiffs-eight-in-five-innings/ | true | null |
Houma murder trial begins for man accused in Christmas Eve shooting
Jury selection was underway Wednesday for a suspect accused of killing a Houma man on Christmas Eve in 2019.
Tyler Payne, 29, of Montegut, is charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. He is accused of taking part in a drive-by shooting Dec. 24, 2019, that claimed the life of 35-year-old Courtney Carter.
The shooting also left another man injured.
Two other suspects were also charged in the shooting. Torrance Verdin, 18, was convicted in January of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.
The third suspect, Desmond Verdin, 26, was convicted of domestic violence-related crimes in July and was sentenced to life in prison April 20 after being ruled as a repeat offender. His murder charges are still pending.
The shooting took place at the intersection of St. Louis Canal and North Hollywood roads while the two victims were inside a vehicle, authorities said. After the shots were fired, the suspect vehicle made a right turn onto North Hollywood Road and headed toward West Park Avenue.
Also:Houma man gets life sentence on domestic-violence charges. He also awaits murder trial.
Carter died early Christmas morning from his injuries, police said.
On the day of the shooting, Carter and Desmond Verdin encountered each other while shopping at Southland Mall and an argument ensued, prosecutors said. Payne, Desmond Verdin and Torrance Verdin then followed the victims in a car after they left the mall.
When they stopped at the intersection, the defendants pulled up and started shooting at them, prosecutors said.
During jury selection, attorneys on both sides ask potential jurors a series of varied questions designed to create a six-person jury capable of making a bias-free judgment. Attorneys will also select four alternates who will serve on the jury if the need arises.
All juries in criminal trials must be unanimous to convict a defendant.
Payne is being represented by John Thomas of New Orleans. Assistant District Attorney Chris Erny is prosecuting the case, and state District Judge Juan Pickett is presiding over the trial.
If convicted of second-degree murder, Payne faces a mandatory life sentence without parole or early release.

Cuthand: Indigenous women fight racist narrative that fuels violence
Our people have fought back and the red dress movement is one vehicle where we take back the control over our lives.
Article content
Back in 1998, I produced a documentary called Circle of Voices. It was about a group of young people in Saskatoon who were using theatre as a way of expressing themselves and telling stories about their lives and challenges.

Article content
One of the participants was a high school student, Daleen Muskego. Later, she would marry Jeremiah Bosse and continue her studies at the University of Saskatchewan. She planned to be a teacher.
In 2004 she went missing and in 2008 her remains were found and the killer charged. It would be six more years until the killer would go to trial and be found guilty of second-degree murder.
Her parents, Pauline and Herb Muskego, never gave up on her. They put up posters, kept in touch with the police and held awareness marches to get information out.
Her cousin was a friend of mine and worked for me as a freelancer. He told me that they had no leads and the trail had gone cold. The former members of the Circle of Voices were also worried about her departure.
Daleen had a wide circle of friends and supporters but, sadly, she was just one of hundreds of Indigenous women who have gone missing and been found murdered over the years.
Her murder left her parents without a daughter, a husband without a partner and a little girl without a mother. In each murder the pain radiates out and friends and family are left mourning a loss.
Thursday was the national day of awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. It was a day to remember and mourn the loss of those women who have gone missing and been murdered. Events including marches, speakers and ceremonies were held across the country.
According to the fact sheet issued by the Native Women’s Association of Canada, Indigenous women represent 10 per cent of the murders nationally, despite the fact that our population only represents three per cent of the national population.

Article content
The majority of the murders occur in urban areas with 70 per cent of missing women reported from urban areas and 60 per cent of murdered Indigenous women occurring in urban areas.
While many of the perpetrators are Indigenous men, we can’t overlook that a frightening number are non-Aboriginal men with little or no knowledge of the Indigenous woman they have assaulted and killed.
The NWAC fact sheet states that 16.5 per cent of the women were murdered by a stranger. This compares with six per cent of non-Aboriginal women who were murdered by strangers.
When you examine the men who have been charged and found guilty of murdering Indigenous women, a few things jump out. These guys are usually loners and losers.
They have bought the racist narrative that Indigenous women are easy, vulnerable and expendable. No matter how low they are in the pecking order, they feel that they are superior to an Indigenous woman.
They regard Indigenous women’s lives as cheap and feel that they are superior. This is a narrative as old as this country and it runs through the society like a plague.
It goes back to removing Indigenous children from their families to residential schools or the ’60s Scoop, or Indian agents and missionaries running people’s lives or forced integration. In all cases, we lost control of our lives and many of our people were broken down and became vulnerable to outside influence.
But our people have fought back and the red dress movement is one vehicle where we take back the control over our lives.

Article content
We are going through a period of reconciliation and enlightenment where people are learning and becoming aware of our history and women have seized the leadership with the red dress movement or the orange shirt symbolism.
There is a Cheyenne proverb that our elders often quote: “A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then it is finished, no matter how brave its warriors or how strong their weapons.”
Today the tables are turned. Indigenous women have seized the initiative and are showing how much more powerful they are. In the end, they will bring strength and rebirth to our people.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fred Savage has been dropped as an executive producer and director of the rebooted “The Wonder Years” amid allegations of inappropriate conduct, the television show's production company has confirmed.
“Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched. Upon its completion, the decision was made to terminate his employment as an executive producer and director of 'The Wonder Years,'" a statement Saturday from 20th Television said.
20th Television did not immediately provide any additional details. A spokesperson for Savage did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Savage, 45, was a child star when he appeared in the original series, which ran on ABC from 1988-93 and followed a suburban white family in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A new version of the show, which features Don Cheadle as the narrator, premiered last fall. The new series revolves around a Black family living in Montgomery, Alabama, in the late 1960s. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Fred-Savage-dropped-from-The-Wonder-Years-amid-17156359.php | 2022-05-07T15:31:59Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Fred-Savage-dropped-from-The-Wonder-Years-amid-17156359.php | false | 32 |

LANSING, Mich. — A $250,000 grant will help connect 225 veterans with registered apprenticeships in Michigan’s construction industry.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity awarded the grant to Helmets to Hardhats to support the Michigan Construction Apprenticeship post-Military Opportunity Program.
“The MiCAMO program offers active-duty and retired military veterans meaningful career opportunities in Michigan’s construction industry.
“To continue fixing our roads and bridges so people can go to work or drop their kids off at school safely, we need high-quality construction completed by highly-skilled workers.
“The MiCAMO program will empower those who served land a good-paying, high-skill and in-demand job and help employers fill open positions,” said Governor Whitmer.
This program will help transitioning active-duty and retired military service members, National Guard, reservists and veterans with registered apprenticeship paths to in-demand, high-wage construction jobs.
MiCAMO aims to give participating veterans long-term economic security and improved access to GI Bill benefits.

Cade O’Neill has wanted to be a doctor for almost his entire life. When he graduated Butte High School in 2018 as one of the valedictorians, he decided to go to Montana Technological University like his sister before him, who graduated with a degree in mining engineering.
Now, four years later after starting at Montana Tech, O’Neill is graduating with a 4.0 and a degree in biological sciences, cell and molecular track. And, like high school, he will again be graduating as one of the valedictorians. He starts coursework at University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Grand Forks in July.
O’Neill is proud of his alma mater, particularly the biological sciences department, which he called “one big happy family.”
“It’s kind of a hidden gem at Montana Tech,” he said. “I’ve been pretty blessed with the teachers that I’ve had and my peers. I attribute all my success to them.”
He said that of the 12 people he’s graduating with, one is going to physical therapy school and one is going into dentistry, so there’s “a little bit of everything.”
People are also reading…
Born and raised in Butte, he hopes to return to Montana and be a rural doctor. Rather than be a general practitioner, he wants to specialize, probably in ophthalmology, but cardiology and neurology have also piqued his interest.
If O’Neill chooses cardiology, he’s looking at about 11 years of school, he said, the longest amount of time in school out of his three potential choices. The summer after this one will be his last “free summer” he said, where he’ll have about six weeks off.
“He’s always had an insatiable appetite for learning,” said O’Neill’s dad, Jim O’Neill. “He loves learning, loves school. Since kindergarten, he’s never had anything close to a B.” He echoed his son’s sentiment that Montana Tech’s biological sciences department helped him out a lot.
The reason Cade O’Neill wants to be a doctor is because he has personal experience with doctors, a lot more than most people. Every summer, O’Neill travels to Salt Lake City and sees four doctors. He’s been seeing doctors since he was 2 weeks old and has traveled to Salt Lake City over 100 times for doctor’s appointments.
Why? He was born with micropthalmia, a congenital condition that resulted in O’Neill being born with a very small left eye. Now, he has a prosthetic.
Approximately one in every 5,200 babies is born with anophthalmia/microphthalmia, according to the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Anophthalmia is a birth defect where a baby is born without one or both eyes, and microphthalmia is a birth defect where one or both eyes didn’t fully develop and is small.
The condition is not very common, and O’Neill thought that if he could be a doctor to a child with his condition, it would help them feel less afraid and out of place.
“When I was a kid, I’d go into the doctor’s office, and I’d be scared,” O’Neill said. “I would be kind of scared to death, and really wouldn’t know what would go on or anything. And I think having a doctor with that kind of relatability would really ease a lot of those scared feelings in a way.
“If I was a kid with this condition, and I had a doctor who had the same exact thing, I’d be like ‘Oh my God, this isn’t a hurdle. It isn’t something that’s going to end my life’ … So, just giving that sense of relatability to kids is something that would really give me a sense of fulfillment.”
O’Neill was part of a group of 62,443 people who applied to medical school in 2021, a record number and 17.8% increase in applicants from 2020, according to a report published by the Association of American Medical Colleges.
To say the competition was tough would be an understatement, especially as a medical student from Montana, which doesn’t have an in-state medical school. Because of this, O’Neill said, he was encouraged to apply to a wide selection of medical schools. So he did.
He applied to schools in Arizona, South Carolina, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, and of course, North Dakota.
The North Dakota State University School of Medicine and Health Sciences is ranked among the top 10 rural medicine programs in the country by U.S. News & World Report, which is partially why O’Neill wants to go there. He also thinks he’ll be comfortable there because the class size is smaller than cohorts at other medical schools.
The university’s school of medicine accepts 78 students each year, according to its website. O’Neill said he feels blessed to have gotten in.
“I went (to Grand Forks) over spring break, and it’s really a lot like Montana,” he said. “All the people are super friendly and I didn’t feel out of place.”
In his four years at Montana Tech, O’Neill has tried his hardest to be involved. He’s part of the university’s student ambassador program, was an orientation leader for incoming freshmen last fall, was in the Biology, Chemistry and Pre-Professional Health Club, and was mentor in the Upward Bound Program, where he helped high school students who would be first-generation college students develop interest in science.
He’s also been involved in a considerable amount of research with his professors. As early as his freshman year, O’Neill looked for ways to get involved in the biological sciences department. He started by conducting research with one of his professors, Joel Graff.
“One peculiar thing about Cade is that he always wear shorts in winter,” Graff said. When O’Neill visited Grand Forks during spring break, there was a cold snap Graff said, and O’Neill told him it was the coldest weather he’d ever experienced.
“And I said “Maybe you’ll have to learn how to wear pants’,” Graff said.
Graff said he often recruits students from his freshman classes in hopes that they’ll research with him for the next few years while they’re at Montana Tech. In the wake of COVID-19 and the restrictions put in place because of it, O’Neill missed out on one of those years, but was still a great addition to the lab.
One thing Graff said about O’Neill is that he never gives up, and works hard.
“In class, he puts more effort into answering every question than is typical,” Graff said.
He also said that the lab work O’Neill had to do for the research “is like threading a needle,” when using a pipette, but that O’Neill didn’t let his micropthalmia slow him down.
“He figured out his own way to use the pipette accurately,” Graff said. He said he’ll miss O’Neill and looks forward to see how he’ll do in medical school.
O’Neill also researched with the director of the biological sciences department, Amy Kuenzi. Kuenzi’s research focused on studying the Hantavirus using field mice.
She said O’Neill is very smart and interested in helping. She said his strength is in lab research, but he was always game to go out in the field, where much of the research was. One memory she remembers with fondness is how intimidated he was by the field mice at first.
Although it took him three years to handle the mice, he didn’t give up, she said. She also noted that it was unusual for students to be involved in research for as long as O’Neill was.
“Most students get involved in research later on,” she said.
In addition to graduating as one of two biological sciences valedictorians and one of four total valedictorians, he’s also graduating with high honors. He’s also one of seven Highest Scholastic Standing in the Arts & Sciences Awardees and a recipient of an Outstanding Student Departmental Award in biological sciences.

Rajasthan Royals comfortably beat Punjab Kings by six wickets in their IPL match here on Saturday. Batting first, Jonny Bairstow was back among runs with a fine half-century as Punjab Kings put up a challenging 189 for 5.
Bairstow scored 56 off 40 balls with eight fours and a six. Jitesh Sharma (38 not out off 18 balls) and Liam Livingstone (22 off 14 balls) also played nice little cameos at the back-end to spruce up the total. For the Royals, Yuzvendra Chahal was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 28 in 4 overs.
In reply, the Royals scored the required runs in 19.4 overs with Yashasvi Jaiswal making 68 off 41 balls. Arshdeep Singh was the best bowler with 2/29 in 4 overs.
Brief Scores: Punjab Kings: 189 for 5 in 20 overs (Jonny Bairstow 56, Jitesh Sharma 38 not out; Yuzvendra Chahal 3/28).
Rajasthan Royals: 190 for 4 in 19.4 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 68, Jos Buttler 30; Arshdeep Singh 2/29). | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/cricket/ipl-2021/rajasthan-royals-beat-punjab-kings-by-6-wickets-8470231.html | 2022-05-07T15:48:50Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/cricket/ipl-2021/rajasthan-royals-beat-punjab-kings-by-6-wickets-8470231.html | false | 4 |
There are currently 17 games on Saturday’s MLB schedule, headlined by a doubleheader on FSI featuring Tigers-Astros and Cardinals-Giants. This large amount of games gives DFS fans plenty of opportunities to find the ideal lineup. Here’s a look at the top targets and values for Saturday’s MLB action.
Top Pitchers
Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers vs. Cubs ($10,000) — Kershaw is 3-0 this season with a 2.35 ERA and goes against a team that has scored nine runs in the last six games. Back the Dodgers ace to keep shutting down the Cubs Saturday. The price point is high, but the production has been stellar.
Max Scherzer, Mets vs. Phillies ($10,000) — It’s another high-priced pitcher but Scherzer remains a dominant force in the sport. He’s 4-0 with a 2.61 ERA and is striking out 12.2 batters per nine innings. The Phillies have a decent lineup, but Scherzer is in the zone right now.
Top Hitters
Manny Machado, Padres vs. Marlins ($5,600) — Machado has been on fire in this series, scoring 47.0 fantasy points over the last two contests. Look for him to keep things going for the Padres, who have been off to a great start this season.
Mike Trout, Angels vs. Nationals ($6,000) — The Angels outfielder has struggled of late, but tends to break out of slumps quickly. Trout followed three subpar performances recently with a 29-point outing against the White Sox. He’s averaged 6.0 fantasy points in the last four games, so a breakout contest Saturday seems likely.
Value Pitcher
Kyle Freeland, Rockies vs. Diamondbacks ($6,400) — The Diamondbacks are one of the worst offensive teams in baseball, ranking 22nd in runs scored and tied for 28th in total hits. Freeland is coming off a strong outing against the Reds, which got him his first win of the season. He should keep up the good work against another poor offensive unit.
Value Hitter
Jesus Aguilar, Marlins vs. Padres ($4,400) — Aguilar is no longer as big a name as he was in Milwaukee, but the slugger can still produce solid games. He’s hitting .279 with three home runs and 14 RBIs on the season while getting consistent at-bats for the Marlins. He’s put up 63.0 fantasy points in the last six games, so there’s a solid production floor here at a great price point. | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/5/7/23059219/mlb-dfs-picks-draftkings-targets-fantasy-baseball-lineups-kershaw-scherzer-machado-trout-freeland | 2022-05-07T16:01:12Z | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2022/5/7/23059219/mlb-dfs-picks-draftkings-targets-fantasy-baseball-lineups-kershaw-scherzer-machado-trout-freeland | false | 1 |
Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB), a statewide grassroots environmental and community improvement non-profit organization, recently named Keep Irving Beautiful (KIB) a Gold Star Affiliate, a designation granted to 86 of KTB’s nearly 300 affiliates. Gold Star recognition is the membership recognition highest status any community affiliate can achieve.
In 2004, the organization introduced the concept of Gold Star recognition to reward those communities who sought to go above and beyond the established requirements. To remain in good standing with KTB, community affiliates must submit a report, pay dues, attend training and participate in a KTB-endorsed activity annually.
To achieve Gold Star status, affiliates must share information on their mission and goals, answer questions about their economic development and diversity and inclusion practices or participate in the Beautify Texas Awards or Governor’s Community Achievement Awards programs, and provide a letter of support from their community. KTB will formally recognize Gold Star communities during its 55th Annual Conference in June.
“Our affiliates are the backbone of our organization. We are proud to honor those going above and beyond to keep their communities clean and beautiful,” says Suzanne Kho, Executive Director of Keep Texas Beautiful. “Our Gold Star Affiliates are educating and engaging community members, actively recruiting and managing volunteers, hosting cleanup and beautification events throughout their community and so much more.”
In 2021 alone, KTB affiliates engaged 41,550 volunteers who contributed 190,094 hours to collect 3.25 million pounds of waste and recyclables from Texas roadways, trails, and waterways. Keep Irving Beautiful successfully implemented programs to clean up litter, reduce and recycle waste, educate local citizens, and beautify and enhance the local community. Working with all sectors of the community, KIB’s 2021 totals were 5,665 volunteers, 8.081 volunteer hours, 18,698 pounds of trash and recyclables collected in cleanups, and 133 trees planted in public spaces.
“Maintaining the Gold Star level with Keep Texas Beautiful is very important to our organization,” said KIB President Scott Wilson. “It shows the commitment we have to this community and to our state affiliate, but it also reflects the dedication of our volunteers in helping us to keep Irving clean, green and beautiful.”
About Irving
The City of Irving ranks #1 per capita among cities with at least 5 Fortune 500 corporate headquarters with a population greater than 100,000. Centrally located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Irving continues to attract top talent from around the world.
About Keep Texas Beautiful
Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to making Texas the best place to live, work, and play by deploying resources for community improvement projects, clean-ups, and youth engagement efforts across the state. Through our Keep Texas Recycling program, we provide assistance and education to support recycling in rural and underserved communities.
Everything we do is focused on mobilizing volunteers to take action by providing them with tools, resources, and training. Our fieldwork includes research on best practices for litter reduction along with the development of community programs to prevent the flow of litter to the Gulf.
Founded in 1967, Keep Texas Beautiful’s work is driven by its network of nearly 300 affiliate member communities, volunteers, and supporters that reach 17 million Texans annually.

As reproductive-rights protests continue after a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas says the court can't be "bullied" into making a decision that some would prefer.
"We can't be an institution that can be bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want," Thomas told a group largely comprised of lawyers and judges Friday at the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference in Atlanta, NBC News reported. "The events from earlier this week are a symptom of that."
"We are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the outcomes we don't like," Thomas said.
Thomas, one of the more conservative justices on the bench, made some references to protests against the leaked draft opinion.
A day earlier at the same conference, Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak "absolutely appalling." Earlier this week, the court confirmed the authenticity of the draft published by Politico and Roberts ordered an investigation of the leak.
In a statement issued by the court on Tuesday, Roberts said: "To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way."
The court statement said the leaked draft opinion doesn't represent the court's final position.

Napoli beat Torino to consolidate third spot in Serie A
Issued on: Modified:
Turin (Italy) (AFP) – Napoli strengthened their hold on third place in Serie A on Saturday after beating Torino 1-0 to keep Juventus at bay.
Luciano Spalletti's side took advantage of fourth-placed Juve's shock 2-1 defeat at Genoa on Friday to move four points ahead of their rivals with two matches left to play.
Fabian Ruiz's strike in the 73rd minute secured the points for Napoli after Lorenzo Insigne's penalty was saved by Etrit Berisha just after the hour mark.
Napoli have already qualified for next season's Champions League but will want to finish as high as possible after their bid to claim a first league title in over 30 years faltered in the final weeks of the campaign.
Southern Italy's biggest club last won the league in 1990, when Diego Maradona was still strutting his stuff, and had topped the table on several occasions this season.
However two awful defeats to Fiorentina and Empoli -- and a home draw with Roma -- in April crushed their hopes, even though they are still mathematically in with a shout of the Scudetto.
They are five points behind leaders Inter Milan who claimed top spot on Friday with a come-from-behind 4-2 win over Empoli, but can be finally ruled out of the race by AC Milan on Sunday.
Seven-time European champions Milan are at Verona and will regain the summit with either a win or a draw at the Stadio Bentegodi.
The defeat meant little for Torino, who stay 10th and are playing for pride.

Pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. will accelerate investments in low-carbon technologies as the war in Ukraine drives global concerns about energy supply and security, chief executive Al Monaco said Friday.
Monaco’s comments came the same day that Calgary-based Enbridge announced plans to partner with Denver-based Humble Midstream LLC on a low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production and export facility to be located at Enbridge’s Ingleside Energy Center near Corpus Christi, Tex.
While a final investment decision will be subject to obtaining sufficient customer support as well as regulatory approval, Enbridge said the goal is to produce hydrogen and ammonia — both of which have zero CO2 emissions at point of use — for both domestic and global use.
Up to 95 per cent of the CO2 generated in the production process at the facility will be sequestered in newly developed carbon capture infrastructure, Enbridge said.
On a conference call with analysts Friday, Monaco said conventional energy from North America as well as new, clean technologies are urgently needed to help ease geopolitical tensions created by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“North America will be the (energy) supplier of choice,” Monaco said, pointing to this week’s news about a proposed ban on Russian oil imports by the European Union.
Monaco said he believes natural gas exports represent the largest opportunity for North America, adding Enbridge is seeing a strong pick up in commercial interest from Asia and Europe to secure export capacity.
Enbridge currently serves four operating LNG (liquefied natural gas) facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Monaco said three more LNG developments in the U.S. — Plaquemines LNG, Rio Grande and Texas LNG — are moving toward the final investment decision stage and Enbridge has secured projects to serve those facilities if they go ahead.
Monaco said Enbridge will also need to “pick up the pace” on low-carbon investments like renewable natural gas (RNG), hydrogen, and especially, carbon capture and storage.
He called the Trudeau government’s recent announcement of a federal tax credit for companies investing in carbon capture projects a step in the right direction. (Enbridge has proposed a carbon capture hub project in Alberta together with partners Capital Power and Lehigh Cement).
On Friday, Enbridge reported first quarter earnings of $1.93 billion compared with $1.9 billion in the same quarter last year.
The profit amounted to 95 cents per share for the quarter ended March 31 compared with 94 cents per share a year ago.
The company said cash provided by operating activities hit $2.94 billion in the first three months of the year, compared with $2.56 billion in the same period of 2021.
On an adjusted basis, Enbridge said it earned 84 cents per share for the quarter, up from an adjusted profit of 81 cents per share in the same quarter last year.
Revenues increased 24 per cent to $15.1 billion from $12.1 billion a year earlier.
Enbridge was expected to earn 85 cents per share in adjusted profits on $13.65 billion of revenues, according to financial data firm Refinitiv.

Preston Ries Commits to Iowa Football
Preston Ries announced on Saturday that he was verbally committing to Iowa Football. The Class of 2024 Monticello (IA) High athlete brought the Hawkeyes' pledge total in the cycle to four.
Ries (6-2, 200) joined three other in-state verbal commits in the Iowa '24 Class. Cody Fox (Winthrop), Cam Buffington (Winfield) and Derek Weisskopf (Williamsburg) already were in the fold.
The Hawkeyes offered Ries a scholarship during a visit last month, his third stop on campus. He chose them ahead of an offer from Iowa State, where he also visited three times. Nebraska also offered recently.
Iowa sees Ries as a linebacker, at least for now. Position coach Seth Wallace is his lead recruiter.
"I would say we have built a really good relationship," Ries told HN last month after receiving the Iowa offer.

Monticello utilized Ries' athletic ability on both sides of the ball last fall. He threw for 2,594 yards and 20 touchdowns as a quarterback, while running for 1,343 yards and 14 more scores. He paced the Panthers with 68.5 tackles (46.0 solo, 18.0 for loss) and 8.5 sacks. He added an interception and handled the team's punting duties.
Ries started all 26 games for a Monticello basketball team that reached the semifinals of the state tournament his past winter. He led the team in scoring (18.1 PPG) and rebounding (7.0 RPG).
In track this spring, Ries has posted his team's top 100 time (12.44) and its third best discus throw (121-11). As a freshman in baseball last summer, he started all 30 of Monitcello's games, leading the squad with 55 total bases while posting a .973 OPS.
The Iowa Print Sports Writers Association tabbed Ries as a second-team all-state pick as a quarterback this past fall. The organization named him to its all-state basketball third team during the winter.

Thursday, we will continue to see very warm temperatures in the lower 90s. Shower and storm chances look to be lower for Thursday with more of an isolated chance.
Inland and isolated storm chances look to hang around through the end of the week and into the weekend continued heat in the 90s through Mother’s Day weekend. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591710368125/forecast-more-storms-on-the-way-with-warm-temps | 2022-05-07T16:36:47Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591710368125/forecast-more-storms-on-the-way-with-warm-temps | true | null |
Today’s game between the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees has been called due to inclement weather, it has been announced. The game will be made up on Monday, May 9, 2022, at 12:05 p.m. Central.
The Rangers were to be playing the fifth of six games against the Yankees today, according to the original 2022 season schedule. Instead, due to the late start to the season due to the lockout and the rainouts yesterday and today, the Rangers have played zero games against the Yankees. So that’s fun.
The spate of off days earlier this week also means that the Rangers will have gone three straight days without playing, and will have had just two games in a six day stretch. It means the bullpen will be well-rested for Sunday’s doubleheader, though you do have to wonder how the extended inactivity will impact some of the players. Garrett Richards hasn’t pitched since Friday, April 29, and Brett Martin has faced two batters since April 28. Glenn Otto, who was slated to start today’s game, hasn’t pitched since April 27.
The Rangers will return home on Tuesday to start a ten game home stand, then will travel to Houston for four games against the Astros before their next off day on May 23. Thus, losing Monday’s off day isn’t as bad as it could be, given the lack of travel Texas will be doing in that time. The Yankees, on the other hand, will not have an off day again after today until May 30, a stretch that includes an eight game road trip to Chicago and Baltimore as well as a four game series in Tampa. | https://www.lonestarball.com/2022/5/7/23061240/saturdays-nyy-tex-game-banged-will-be-played-monday | 2022-05-07T16:37:08Z | https://www.lonestarball.com/2022/5/7/23061240/saturdays-nyy-tex-game-banged-will-be-played-monday | true | 1 |
BERLIN (AP) — Patrik Schick scored twice to shoot Bayer Leverkusen into the Champions League with a 4-2 win at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Union Berlin stunned Freiburg 4-1 to dampen its Champions League hopes. Union secured at least a place in the Europa Conference League for the second season in a row after already achieving its best Bundesliga season.
Sixth-placed Union, which was promoted only in 2019, has a two-point lead over Cologne in their tussle for Europa League qualification. Cologne lost at home to Wolfsburg 1-0.
Also, second-placed Borussia Dortmund defeated already relegated Greuther Fürth 3-1 away in Stefan Leitl’s last game as Fürth coach. Leitl, who led the team to promotion last season, is leaving after 3 1/2 years in charge.
Leverkusen was made to work hard for its result against Hoffenheim, which was hoping to keep its European qualification chances alive.
Schick scored twice to take his season tally to 24 in 26 league appearances. Leverkusen twice came from behind to secure third place, irrespective of what happens in its final game against Freiburg next weekend.
The top four in Germany qualify for the Champions League.
Freiburg’s defeat at home to Union gave Leipzig the chance to move to fourth by avoiding defeat at home to Augsburg on Sunday.
Freiburg, which also faces Leipzig in the German Cup final on May 21, was rocked by three first-half goals from Union.
Freiburg coach Christian Streich was booked for his furious reaction to an apparent infringement though it was unclear what it was.
Streich’s team pushed hard after the break and duly pulled one back. But Union substitute Andras Schäfer sealed the result with a fine individual goal in the last minute.
Cologne made a furious start against Wolfsburg but failed to score and was caught out before the break when Yannick Gerhardt finished off a team move from the visitors.
Cologne fans stormed the pitch in celebration of a good season despite the loss. Cologne captain Jonas Hector, who was lying on the field in disappointment, quickly left.
Hertha Berlin could secure its survival with a win at home over Mainz late.

Russia’s most senior lawmaker on Saturday accused Washington of coordinating military operations in Ukraine, which he said amounted to direct US involvement in military action against Russia.
“Washington is essentially coordinating and developing military operations, thereby directly participating in military actions against our country,” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel.
Washington and European members of the transatlantic NATO alliance have supplied Kyiv with heavy weapons to help it resist a Russian offensive that has resulted in the occupation of parts of eastern and southern Ukraine but failed to take Kyiv.

However, the United States and its NATO allies have repeatedly said they will not take part in fighting themselves, in order to avoid becoming parties to the conflict.
US officials have said the United States has provided intelligence to Ukraine to help counter the Russian assault, but have denied that this intelligence includes precise targeting data.
Volodin, speaker of the lower house of parliament, the Duma, is a prominent advocate of what Moscow calls its “special operation” in Ukraine to degrade its southern neighbor’s military capabilities and root out what it calls fascist elements holding sway over the government and military.
Ukraine and the West say the fascist allegation is baseless, and that Russia has carried out an unprovoked act of aggression.
The conflict has killed thousands in Ukraine, and more than five million people have fled the country.
Volodin said foreign advisers had been working in Ukraine since what he called the “coup d’etat,” in an apparent reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s democratic election in 2019.

For much of Southern California, this was another rainy season that wasn’t.
Dry, brown hillsides are testament to the fact that virtually the entire region has received less-than-average rainfall since the current water year started in October, with many areas 30-60% below typical.
April and early May tend to be the region’s last chance for any meaningful precipitation before the long, hot summer sets in, dashing hopes that the drought that began 2 1/2 years ago will end anytime soon.
“The year ahead is not looking good at all,” said Mehdi Nemati, an assistant professor at UC Riverside who specializes in water resource economics and policy, and works with water utilities in Southern California.
Weather forecasters are predicting above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation through the summer, as a La Niña pattern in the Pacific Ocean remains stubbornly in place. However, Southern California could see more monsoonal moisture than usual in July and August, which could help keep large fires at bay, according to the most recent local outlook from federal meteorologists.
Just how dry is it?
When this rainy season started in October, nearly 90% of California was experiencing extreme or exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Officials had expected this winter to be dry because of La Niña, but December defied those expectations — downtown Los Angeles got about 9.5 inches of rain, almost triple the usual amount for that month, while Santa Ana and Riverside got almost double their usual December rainfall.
Then the skies dried out. For the next three months, almost no precipitation fell.
“That’s pretty rare,” said Brian Adams, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego.
For California as a whole, January, February and March of 2022 experienced the lowest precipitation on record, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
It was also historically dry at four local weather stations that have been measuring rainfall for at least a century — at USC near downtown L.A., at the fire stations in Santa Ana and Riverside, and in Redlands.
A Southern California News Group analysis showed that those three months were the seventh-driest on record in downtown Los Angeles, fifth-driest in Riverside and fourth-driest in Santa Ana and Redlands. (The analysis excluded years that had too much missing data to show accurate totals.)
December’s rain eased the state’s harshest drought conditions, but they’ve been spreading back out ever since. As of this week, about 95% of the state is in severe or extreme drought, according to the Drought Monitor.
The 5% only in moderate drought takes in most of Orange and San Diego counties, western Riverside County and a sliver of southwest San Bernardino County. But that territory continues to shrink.
Summer isn’t the time for a drought to break. In a normal year, Southern California gets less than an inch of rain from May to September.
Fire outlook
Southern California actually has two rain-related factors going in its favor for this summer’s fire season.
May and June tend to be grass fire season, and Adams said the moisture content in the region’s light vegetation has been dropping. But because it was such a dry year, not much light vegetation grew, meaning there’s less of it available to catch fire. That’s why officials are predicting normal or below-normal fire activity during this period, said Rob Krohn, a Riverside-based meteorologist for the Bureau of Land Management.
The other favorable factor is monsoon season, which hits the Southwest U.S. in July and August. Forecasters are expecting more showers and thunderstorms than usual.
“That would bode well for a little less wildfire activity at higher elevations,” Krohn said.
But he said it would take a “colossal” thunderstorm season to have an impact on the drought — it’s winter storms and the snowpack that fill up California’s reservoirs.
Also, forecasters are expecting the monsoons to bring more lightning than moisture to Northern California, which is one reason that part of the state is expected to have above-normal fire activity this summer.
Peak fire season comes in September and October, when fuel moisture is at its lowest and Santa Ana winds are at their strongest. Krohn said that at this point, forecasters don’t have much of an indication whether this fall will be a strong Santa Ana wind season.

The drought recently forced Southern California’s water wholesaler to take emergency action, imposing unprecedented limits on outdoor watering for about 6 million people in Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties. Those restrictions will take effect June 1, and the Metropolitan Water District is asking all Southern Californians to slash their water use by 30%.
Nemati, the UCR water resources expert, believes that will be a difficult challenge.
That’s because Southern California already has been one of the most successful places in the world at reducing water use over the past 20 to 30 years or so, he said.
In the 2012-2016 drought, there was a huge push to cut back as much as possible, and Californians responded. When the drought broke in 2017, some of that water use rebounded, Nemati said, but some of those reductions were permanent.
“So it’s getting harder and harder — even if there are new mandates, I don’t know how much they are going to be effective, because we already got rid of the low-hanging fruit,” he said.
He said Southern California water agencies did a good job in 2017-2019 at essentially saving back up for a non-rainy day — refilling reservoirs, diversifying their water sources, thinking ahead — so they were well prepared when the drought came back in 2020. But as the drought drags on, there’s only so long those savings can last.
Nemati said he expects more mandates and restrictions to be issued over the next year, and as much as he said water agencies try to keep water affordable for their customers, prices could climb higher, too.
“I think as we move forward, we’re going to see more expensive water rates regardless,” he said, because water sources are going to get more expensive, and persistent drought conditions are just making that happen faster.
“That’s the thing I’m most concerned about: How to keep water affordable and update infrastructure to prepare for droughts,” Nemati said.
‘We need to adapt’
California has been in a statewide drought for 11 of the past 16 years, and the whole western U.S. has been in a 22-year “megadrought” that’s believed to be the most severe drought in at least the past 1,200 years, as far back as tree ring records can show.
“We need to stop talking and stop thinking about drought as an emergency that happens once in a while,” said Jeanine Jones, the drought manager for the California Department of Water Resources.
As the environment becomes hotter and drier, “We need to adapt our infrastructure … to deal with hydrology that is quite a bit different than what we had in the past.”
Jones also said more investment is needed to improve long-term forecasting ability, so water managers can be better prepared. As it is, forecasters have a hard time peering more than a few months into the future,
When it comes to the current drought, forecasters see a good chance that the La Niña pattern will continue at least through summer, but Adams of the National Weather Service said beyond August or September, it gets trickier to say.
And it won’t be enough just for La Niña to end, he said — we’re going to need the rainy El Niño patterns to return for this drought to finally break. | https://www.pe.com/2022/05/06/what-rainy-season-southern-california-sees-little-relief-on-drought/ | 2022-05-07T16:44:58Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/05/06/what-rainy-season-southern-california-sees-little-relief-on-drought/ | true | 11 |
The many worlds of the metaverse
What is the metaverse anyway? Good question! In fact, it's not even clear if it's one world, or a word meant to include all of the distinct virtual places being created by different projects. The answer will have big implications.
Why it matters: A lot of folks spend an ungodly amount of time online already. But technologists believe we will spend even more once they make it extra immersive using 3D, super social worlds to do things like shop, see concerts and attend conferences.
- If you've seen the movie Ready Player One, that's what it's about (confession: I have not — but I get it).
The intrigue: If every big crypto community shared one virtual world, they might become a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Someone might enter to check out one community and wander over to another. That's happening, but only a little.
Details: Atlantis World is a 2D world that many Ethereum-oriented projects have backed to build out a shared universe.
- A bunch of B-list NFTs have come together to build a shared universe for cute digital collectible fans.
- Some entrepreneurs saw the metaverse coming years ago. Projects like Decentraland and CryptoVoxels were built as 3D spaces where others could come in and build.
- Brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce & Gabbana participated in a Metaverse Fashion Week inside Decentraland, for example.
Quick take: I tried to go make a visit to Decentraland for this report but got immediately frustrated doing so. It ground my laptop to a halt almost immediately and I just couldn't stand it.
- This is not my first time trying a space like that. I've never enjoyed it, but I hear some do 🤷♂️.
Yes, but: Every time an NFT project gets big enough, it seems to want to build a standalone virtual world.
- There is Otherside. Yuga Labs just made several hundred million dollars selling parcels in the new virtual world meant to build on the popularity of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, the most valuable set of NFTs out there.
- Axie Infinity, the Pokemon-like game that brought in over a billion dollars in revenue last year, which has had land from the beginning.
- Illuvium, a game that word on the street says has a lot of top-tier gaming talent behind it, announced prices for an upcoming land sale yesterday.
How it works: A lot of people ask how land in an infinite universe can be valuable. The answer: proximity. It's not how much land there is, but the limited space near popular areas.
- The U.S. both has a ton of empty land and some of the most expensive real estate in the world. The metaverse is no different. It's "location, location, location" there too.
- Parcel is a marketplace that helps buyers assess the attributes of land they might want.
Quick take: If every project gives into the temptation to snag millions off a land sale, then they are going to have an incentive to be protective of their users and try to make it hard for them to move their stuff to other worlds. That looks a lot more like Web2 than Web3.

While the Golden State Warriors are focusing on their second-round playoff battle with the Memphis Grizzlies, the head coaching search is heating up around the rest of the NBA.
Names with connections to the Warriors, like assistants Mike Brown, Kenny Atkinson and others, have been buzzing during the interview cycle for teams with openings at head coach.
Buy Warriors TicketsAccording to Shams Charania of The Athletic, former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson has interviewed for the Los Angeles Lakers opening at head coach. Jackson is also considered a finalist for Sacramento Kings head coach opening, per Charania.

The Los Angeles Lakers have interviewed former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson for their head coaching job, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Jackson is among the finalists for the Sacramento Kings head coach opening.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) May 7, 2022
Starting in 2011, Jackson spent three seasons as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, leading them to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. Jackson amounted a 121-109 regular-season record.
After coaching the Warriors to a 51-win season behind breakout star Steph Curry, Jackson’s squad was eliminated from the first round of the playoffs in seven games by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Despite being fired by the Warriors in the 2014 offseason, Jackson is often credited with helping lay the foundation for the Warriors’ run to three championships. Jackson helped coach players like Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green at the start of their careers.
Along with coaching the Warriors, Jackson spent 17 seasons in the NBA as a point guard. Some of Jackson’s career highlights include earning a trip to the All-Star game in 1989, leading the NBA in assists in 1996-97 and winning Rookie of the Year in 1987-88.
Since leaving the Warriors, Jackson has returned to the broadcast booth with ESPN. After reportedly receiving multiple interviews, Jackson could be making his way back to the sideline soon.

Starbucks rebukes meeting between Biden and union members
Starbucks criticized a recent meeting at the White House with representatives of labor unions for major companies that included members of a growing union within the coffee company.
Driving the news: In a letter sent to the White House on Thursday, Starbucks said it was "deeply concerned" that Workers United was invited to the labor union meeting while not inviting Starbucks official representatives.
- Starbucks employees at multiple locations have voted to join the national union Workers United since December amid a much larger labor movement, which has been publicly supported by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Members of Starbucks Workers United were invited along with representatives of labor unions within other major companies to a roundtable with Harris and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh on Thursday.
- During that meeting, President Biden made an impromptu appearance and thanked the worker organizers for their leadership in organizing unions, according to a readout of the meeting released by the White House.
What they're saying: "We are deeply concerned that Workers United, which is actively engaged in collective bargaining with us and trying to organize all our stores and our +240,000 partners (employees), was invited to the meeting while not inviting official Starbucks representatives, to discuss our view on the matter," AJ Jones, Starbuck's senior vice president of global communications and public affairs, said in the letter to Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president.
- "We believe this lack of representation discounts the reality that the majority of our partners oppose being members of a union and the unionization tactics being deployed by Workers United," he added.
- "As such, I am requesting the opportunity to meet with you and bring a diverse, representative group of Starbucks partners from across the country to the White House so that they can share points of view and experiences that are vastly different from those presented by Workers United."
The big picture: The National Labor Relations Board in April accused Starbucks of "retaliating against" three workers involved in organizing a union.
- Workers United has filed several unfair labor practice charges against Starbucks, while the company has filed unfair labor practice charges against the national labor union.
- Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz returned to the company in the interim after former CEO Kevin Johnson retired from the company in April. It is seeking to find a permanent leader by the fall.
- Schultz said last month that the company is "being assaulted, in many ways, by the threat of unionization," Axios' Shawna Chen writes.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers on Saturday ordered all Afghan women to wear head-to-toe clothing in public — a sharp, hard-line pivot that confirmed the worst fears of rights activists and was bound to further complicate Taliban dealings with an already distrustful international community.
It was the latest in a series of repressive edicts issued by the Taliban leadership, not all of which have been implemented. Last month for example the Taliban forbade women to travel alone, but after a day of opposition, that has since been silently ignored.
The decree, which calls for women to only show their eyes and recommends they wear the head-to-toe burqa, evoked similar restrictions on women during the Taliban’s previous rule between 1996 and 2001.
“We want our sisters to live with dignity and safety,” said Khalid Hanafi, acting minister for the Taliban’s vice and virtue ministry.
The Taliban previously decided against reopening schools to girls above grade 6, reneging on an earlier promise and opting to appease their hard-line base at the expense of further alienating the international community. But this decree does not have widespread support among a leadership that’s divided between pragmatists and the hardliners.
That decision disrupted efforts by the Taliban to win recognition from potential international donors at a time when the country is mired in a worsening humanitarian crisis.
“For all dignified Afghan women wearing Hijab is necessary and the best Hijab is chadori (the head-to-toe burqa) which is part of our tradition and is respectful,” said Shir Mohammad, an official from the vice and virtue ministry in a statement.
“Those women who are not too old or young must cover their face, except the eyes,” he said.
The decree added that if women had no important work outside it is better for them to stay at home. “Islamic principles and Islamic ideology are more important to us than anything else,” Hanafi said.
Senior Afghanistan researcher Heather Barr of Human Rights Watch urged the international community to put coordinated pressure on the Taliban.

“(It is) far past time for a serious and strategic response to the Taliban’s escalating assault on women’s rights,” she wrote on Twitter.
The Taliban were ousted in 2001 by a U.S.-led coalition for harboring al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and returned to power after America’s chaotic departure last year.
Since taking power last August, the Taliban leadership has been squabbling among themselves as they struggle to transition from war to governing. It has pit hard-liners against the more pragmatic among them,
Infuriating many Afghans is the knowledge that many of the Taliban of the younger generation, like Sirajuddin Haqqani, are educating their girls in Pakistan, while in Afghanistan women and girls have been targeted by their repressive edicts since taking power.
Girls have been banned from school beyond grade 6 in most of the country since the Taliban’s return. Universities opened earlier this year in much of the country, but since taking power the Taliban edicts have been erratic. While a handful of provinces continued to provide education to all, most provinces closed educational institutions for girls and women.
The religiously driven Taliban administration fears that going forward with enrolling girls beyond the the sixth grade could alienate their rural base, Hashmi said.
In the capital, Kabul, private schools and universities have operated uninterrupted. | https://www.dailypress.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-afghanistan-taliban-women-20220507-so4esu5dcrglldboosrcntqeqy-story.html | 2022-05-07T17:00:56Z | https://www.dailypress.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-afghanistan-taliban-women-20220507-so4esu5dcrglldboosrcntqeqy-story.html | true | 17 |

May 2022 FloridAgriculture eNewsletter
By J. Scott Angle
@IFAS_VP
On her desk in Farm Bureau headquarters, Staci Sims keeps what she calls “The Little Green Book.” It’s a who’s who of Florida agriculture, and anyone in it will drop what they’re doing and take her call when she conjures the name “Wedgworth.”
The actual title is the “Alumni Association of the Wedgworth Leadership Institute Membership Directory.” It’s the network, in paper form, that Sims was inducted into when she completed the two-year Wedgworth Leadership Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources.
She leans on it to do her job as legal counsel, connecting her and the Farm Bureau with leaders in Florida’s agricultural industry, including farmers, ranchers, commodity associations as well as environmental groups and government agencies. The network is an important way she knows someone is listening when she speaks as the Voice of Agriculture and a useful way to listen to the rest of the industry.
For Sims, Wedgworth programming provided insight on issues facing the industry, but more importantly, understanding of perspectives and social issues affecting our local, state, federal and international communities.
It’s an understanding she uses regularly as she advocates for 134,000 members who can’t legislate from their farms and ranches.
Curt Williams, assistant director of government and community affairs at the Farm Bureau, didn’t need to be sold on the program. He’d heard Sims and the many other Farm Bureau staffers who are alumni evangelize about the program.
It was only a question of confidence: Could he fully commit to developing himself into an even more effective leader on your behalf while upholding existing commitments to Farm Bureau, family and family farm?
His Wedgworth classmates helped him answer it in short order. They experienced the same struggle of commitment. They, too soon saw that the long-term payoff of Wedgworth participation, for themselves and for their industries, outweighed the costs of being away from their jobs and families.
Williams learned enough about himself through Wedgworth that he’s been inspired to be more involved in leadership positions.
Wedgworth has changed his focus to how important it is to be involved and to never fall prey to someone-else-will-do-it thinking.
The question isn’t “Am I worthy?” Sims concurs. It’s, “How can I serve?”
Wedgworth helps participants answer that through two years of multi-day sessions every other month at which they study contentious issues and meet the principals at the heart of those issues. They not only take a deep dive into the facts of issues confronting agriculture, but they get practice and experience in interacting with people with whom they may disagree.
Such practice in empathy and understanding the point of view of someone who’s on the other side of an issue is essential to the search for common ground and preventing stalemates that Florida agriculture cannot afford.
Wedgworth celebrates 30 years of programming this year, and Class XI graduates in July. Applications will open in late spring 2023. For more information about the program, contact Christy Chiarelli at ccw@ufl.edu.
Farm Bureau has sent a staffer and sometimes a board member almost every one of those years. Don’t doubt whether you’re worthy. Just ask yourself, like Sims, how you can serve.
Already the Wedgworth experience has prompted Williams to become a leader in local civic organizations, his church and on the advisory board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
He’s scheduled to graduate this summer with more finely honed leadership skills to serve you. With the addition of his and 29 more names, the Little Green Book will get a little bigger.

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine — The war in Ukraine wracked the country’s southern coast Saturday as Russian forces fired cruise missiles at the city of Odesa and bombarded a steel mill housing Ukrainian civilians and fighters, hoping to complete their conquest of the port of Mariupol in time for Victory Day celebrations.
However, in a sign of the unexpectedly effective defense that has sustained the fighting into its 11th week, Ukraine’s military flattened Russian positions on a Black Sea island that was captured in the war’s first days and has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.
Western military analysts said a Ukrainian counter-offensive also was advancing around the nation’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, even as it remained a key target of Russian shelling. The Ukrainian army said it retook control of five villages and part of a sixth near hotly contested Kharkiv.
As Russia’s Monday holiday commemorating Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II approached, cities across Ukraine prepared for an expected increase in Russian attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged residents numbed by more than 10 weeks of war to heed air raid warnings.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Saturday that Zelenskyy and his people “embody the spirit of those who prevalied during the Second World War.” He accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of trying “to twist history to attempt to justify his unprovoked and brutal war against Ukraine.”
“As war again rages in Europe, we must increase our resolve to resist those who now seek to manipulate historical memory in order to advance their own ambitions,” Blinken said in a statement issued as the United States and United Kingdom marked the Allied victory in Europe 77 years ago.
The most intense battles in recent days have befallen eastern Ukraine, where the two sides are entrenched in a fierce race to capture or reclaim territory. Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine has focused on claiming the industrial Donbas region, where Russia-backed separatists have been fighting since 2014 and occupy some areas.
Moscow’s also has sought to sweep across southern Ukraine to both cut off the country from the sea and to connect its territory to the breakaway Transnistria region of Moldova, long home to Russian troops. But it has struggled to achieve those objectives.
On Saturday, six Russian cruise missiles fired from aircraft hit the region of Odesa, where authorities have a curfew in place until Tuesday morning. Videos posted on social media showed thick black smoke rising over Odesa with sirens wailing in the background.
Satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press showed Ukraine targeting Russian-held Snake Island in a bid to impede Russia’s efforts to control the Black Sea. A satellite image taken early Saturday by Planet Labs PBC showed what appeared to be a Serna-class landing craft against the island’s northern beach.
The image corresponds with a Ukrainian military video showing a drone striking the Russian vessel, engulfing it in flames. Snake Island, located some 35 kilometers (20 miles) off the coast, figured in a memorable incident early in the war when Ukrainian border guards stationed there defied Russian orders to surrender, purportedly using colorful language.
Against that backdrop, Ukrainian fighters made a final stand to prevent a complete takeover of Mariupol. Securing the strategically important Sea of Azov port would give Moscow a land bridge to the Crimea Peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine during a 2014 invasion.
New satellite photos analyzed by the AP showed vast devastation at a sprawling seaside steel mill that is the last corner of Ukrainian resistance in the city. Buildings at the Azovstal plant, including one under which hundreds of fighters and civilians are likely hiding, had large, gaping holes in the roof, according to the images shot Friday by Planet Labs PBC.
The bombardment of the steel mill intensified in recent days despite a Russian pledge for a temporary cease-fire to allow civilians inside to escape. Russia has used mortars, artillery, truck-mounted rocket systems, aerial bombardment and shelling from sea to target the facility.
Rescuers sought to evacuate more civilians on Saturday after a week of on-and-off convoys to get people out of Mariupol. Dozens of civilians were delivered Friday to the care of United Nations and International Committee of the Red Cross representatives, Russian and Ukrainian officials confirmed.
The latest evacuees followed roughly 500 others who were allowed to leave the plant and other parts of the city in recent days.
Ukrainian fighters at the Azovstal mill have repeatedly refused to surrender but acknowledged Saturday using white flags to help evacuate civilians from the site. The fighters issued a statement via social media saying both they and the Russians have used a white flag system to halt fighting in order to get civilians out.
They said the Saturday incident marked the fourth time they raised the flags for that purpose. The statement followed comments attributed to a commander on the Russian side there suggesting the Ukrainians were using the white flag for negotiations with their attackers.
The Ukrainian government has called on international organizations to also help evacuate the fighters defending the plant. By Russia’s most recent estimate, roughly 2,000 Ukrainian fighters remained at the Azovstal steelworks. They have repeatedly refused to surrender.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said “influential states” were involved in efforts to rescue the soldiers, although he did not mention any by name.
“We are also working on diplomatic options to save our troops who are still at Azovstal,” he said in his nightly video address early Saturday.
The relief of those who have been evacuated was tempered by the memory of those still left behind.
“They need our help badly,” said Serhii Kuzmenko, 31, who fled with his wife, 8-yer-old daughter and four others from their bunker, leaving behind another 30. “We need to get them out.”
While they pounded away at the plant, Russian forces struggled to make significant gains elsewhere nearly 2 1/2 months into a ruinous war that has killed thousands of people, forced millions to flee Ukraine and flattened large swaths of some cities.
Kharkiv, which was the first Soviet capital in Ukraine and had a pre-war population of about 1.4 million, remained a key target of Russian shelling in the northeast. But Western military analysts said Ukrainian forces were making progress in securing positions around the city.
A Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said in its most recent assessment that Ukraine’s military may be able to push Russian forces “out of artillery range of Kharkiv in the coming days,” providing a respite for the city and an opportunity to build the defenders’ momentum “into a successful, broader counteroffensive.”
In other developments, a Russian missile on Saturday destroyed a Ukrainian national museum dedicated to the life and work of an 18th-century philosopher, the local council said. It posted photographs on Facebook showing the Gregory Skovoroda museum engulfed in flames.
As an indication of his importance to Ukraine’s cultural heritage, Skovoroda’s likeness adorns a Ukrainian banknote. The museum in Skovorodynivka lies near the Russian border in the Kharkiv region where fighting has been fierce.
Zelenskyy said in his nightly address that the “extraordinary strength of the Ukrainian position” lies in all the countries of the free worldunderstanding what is at stake in the ruinous war.
“We are defending ourselves against an onslaught of tyranny that wants to destroy everything that freedom gives to people and states,” the Ukrainian leader said. “And such a struggle, for freedom and against tyranny, is fully comprehensible for any society, in any corner of the globe.”
At the United Nations in New York, the U.N. Security Council on Friday unanimously adopted its first statement on Ukraine, expressing “strong support” for the secretary general’s efforts to find a peaceful solution to the 10-week old “dispute.”
Talks to end the war have stalled. Zelenskyy said Friday that he would be open to negotiations with Russia, but only if Moscow withdraws its forces to pre-invasion positions.
“In that situation, we will be able to start discussing things normally,” Zelenskyy told a meeting at London’s Chatham House think tank. Ukraine could then use “diplomatic channels” to regain its territory, he said.

Cardiff win 1-0 to crush Derby’s hopes of ending traumatic season on a high
Derby’s hopes of ending a traumatic season on a high were crushed by Jordan Hugill’s second-half goal which gave Cardiff a 1-0 win.
With Derby already relegated to Sky Bet League One following a points deduction for entering administration, they wanted to give a 29,000-plus crowd a victory to cheer but Hugill’s close-range finish denied them.
Derby dominated for long periods with Cardiff goalkeeper Dillon Phillips making crucial saves from Liam Thompson, Tom Lawrence and Louie Sibley before Hugill pounced.
The promising young winger Malcolm Ebiowei curled a shot over after Lawrence fired a free-kick into the wall of blue shirts.
Derby were dominating possession but, after 25 minutes, had not forced Phillips into action while Cardiff had barely figured as an attacking force.
Phillips had to dive at his near post to hold a deflected header from Craig Forsyth in the 28th minute and the Cardiff keeper had to make a far better save eight minutes later when he dived to his left to turn away a Liam Thompson shot from just outside the area.
Phillips kept his side on level terms with two saves in the space of a minute as Derby pressed for the goal their control merited. A Lawrence shot from 20 yards was heading for the top left corner until Phillips clawed it away and he denied Sibley at the back post after a corner was flicked on.
Frantic finish
Cardiff finished the half with a rare attack which ended with Hugill appealing for a penalty when he tangled with Jason Knight but referee Keith Stroud was not interested.
It had been a distinctly end-of-season display from Cardiff but they emerged with more purpose for the second half and went ahead in the 55th minute.
Eli King showed good close control inside the area before cutting the ball back for Hugill to turn past Ryan Allsop from six yards.
Derby responded with a move down the right that set up Forsyth for a shot from just inside the area that Phillips held.
Cardiff were looking to hit Derby on the break but they came close to conceding in the 83rd minute when a poor clearance fell to Ravel Morrison on the edge of the box and his shot beat Phillips but went just over.
In a frantic finish, Derby had claims for a penalty turned down before Curtis Davies was denied by Phillips in the final minute of added time.

“I don’t wanna take it out, it’s raining,” said Mae. “Besides, the plasma gets all over my hands, Uncle Chew.”
Chew looked up from his workstation and sighed. “It always raining, it Los Angeles. New eyes need clean tank. Empty canisters, please.” He turned back to his work, where seven pairs of freshly cloned eyeballs floated in a vat of neon blue jelly.
Mae grumbled and kicked the door to the back alley open, hoisting the used plasma canisters on her shoulders. She was greeting by the warm, stinging sensation of rain, a shock from the sub-zero temperatures of the lab in which she and her uncle worked.
It took only four steps towards the dumpster before she dropped the canisters, screaming at the body before her.
Chew shrugged off his envirosuit and moved as quickly as his years would let him, joining her in the alley.
“Is– is he—” she began.
“Yes,” said Chew, examining the corpse carefully, plucking out one of its eyes with the practiced motion of a master craftsman. “This one of mine. Now, go inside.”

“Come now, I won’t hurt you!” shouted Roy, bounding from one pillar to another. He had tracked his quarry for two hours, and now had them cornered on the rooftop of the Bradbury Building.
He leapt down to the rooftop floor and crept along the ductwork like a panther. “I have questions!” he shouted again. “Questions that must be answered!”
He heard a dull thump from inside one of the ducts. With his superhuman strength, he ripped the aluminum off the mount and found his prey huddled underneath, cowering in fear. Roy smiled a cold, humorless smile.
“Yes,” he said. “Questions.”
“I—- I don’t have the answers you’re looking for!” pleaded the figure.
“I do,” came a voice from behind him. “The answer is, ‘today’.”
Roy barely had time to register a look of shock before the bullet pierced his cybernetic brain and exited his forehead.

The 2022 Kentucky Derby is here, and Dannielynn Birkhead — the 15-year-old daughter of the late model Anna Nicole Smith — and her father Larry Birkhead arrived at the Barnstable Brown Gala at Barnstable-Brown Mansion in style on Friday to ring in the race.
Dannielynn sported an outfit once worn by Janet Jackson at the Gala. Her father, Larry, wrote on Instagram how the teen acquired the outfit.
"Dannielynn is wearing Janet Jackson’s personal outfit that Janet wore to the 2003 Barnstable-Brown Gala," Larry wrote on Instagram.
He continued, "It was purchased as a part of Janet’s @juliens_auctions benefitting charity. Ironically, Janet is expected to attend tonight. Next up the @kentuckyderby then taking Dannielynn to her first @janetjackson concert."
Larry and Dannielynn attend the Kentucky Derby each year and are known for wearing coordinating outfits. During the Gala on Friday, the father-and-daughter duo were photographed with Jackson herself.
At the 2004 Barnstable Brown Gala, Larry met Anna Nicole Smith and a relationship ensued. Dannielynn was born in September 2006 before the model passed away from an accidental overdose in February 2007 at the age of 39.
At the 2019 Kentucky Derby, Dannielynn honored her mother by wearing the same pink hat that Smith wore at the 2004 Derby.
In February, Larry remembered Smith on the 15th anniversary of her death with an Instagram post with a caption that read, "Still remembering this one 15 years after her death. She was truly one of a kind. She struggled for love and acceptance. Just when she found a little piece of one or the other, life seemed to sabotage."
"Today, I remember your heart, your soul and your beauty, both inside and out. Your love is alive still to this day, in the form of a truly one of a kind teenager with her Mom’s smile, beauty and courage. Thanks to Anna’s fans for helping keep her memory alive. We love you Anna Nicole." One of the hashtags on the post read, "#ifmomcouldseeyounow," seemingly referencing Dannielynn.
On Saturday, the day of the Derby, Larry posted another photo with Dannielynn in their race attire and commented on their similar looks.
The caption read, "Betting on a great time with Dannielynn today at this year’s @kentuckyderby, then off to the @janetjackson concert! Saw this pic of Anna and thought Dannielynn looked like her twin!"
The 2022 Kentucky Derby will be aired on NBC beginning at 2:30 p.m. ET ahead of the eighth race of the day.

Chelsea collapses to 2-2 EPL draw in front of new ownership
LONDON (AP) - Chelsea´s prospective new ownership watched Romelu Lukaku score his first English Premier League goals in 2022 before the team collapsed to 2-2 against Wolverhampton on Saturday, leaving work still to do to wrap up Champions League qualification.
Lukaku netted twice in a two-minute span early in the second half in a rare start in the league for the Belgium striker. Lukaku has struggled in the first season of his second spell at Chelsea after being the club´s headline summer signing at a record fee of $135 million.
Among those inside Stamford Bridge to see his first league goal since Dec. 29 was Todd Boehly, the part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers who is fronting a consortium that has agreed on buyout terms for the 2.5 billion-pound ($3.1 billion) purchase of Chelsea - the most lucrative ever for a sports team worldwide. The deal was announced hours before kickoff, meaning there was the feel of something of a new era inside the ground.
Chelsea still has to finish off a season that should end with the club back in the Champions League, but that is not certain.
Goals by Francisco Trincao, in the 79th, and Conor Coady, a header in the seventh minute of stoppage time from virtually the last touch of the game, left Thomas Tuchel´s third-placed team four points of fourth-placed Arsenal, which meets Leeds on Sunday.
Tottenham is two points further back in fifth.

Chelsea has three league games left, along with the FA Cup final against Liverpool.
The Premier League must still approve the consortium as the new ownership and the British government has to sign off under the terms of the license that allows Chelsea to continue operating as a business through May 31 while being one of the frozen assets of Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch who was forced to offload the club because of the war in Ukraine.
And where it was once Abramovich -- the owner for 19 years -- celebrating Chelsea´s goals, now it was Boehly standing up to applaud Lukaku.
He has five goals since his last league goal -- all in various cup competitions -- but has mostly had to settle for a place on the bench in recent weeks, behind Kai Havertz.
With Jorginho injured, Lukaku ended up on penalty duties and rolled his into the corner in the 55th after he was tripped by Romain Saiss in a seemingly innocuous clash near the byline and just inside the area.
His second goal was more impressive after being fed by Christian Pulisic following a poor pass out from the back by Conor Coady.
Lukaku picked his spot from just outside the area and curled a right-footed shot inside the post.
Chelsea controlled the match in the first half but was disallowed goals by Timo Werner and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Sinn Fein forges new electoral landscape, but NI still faces uncertain future
While the opinion polls have been predicting it for many months, the achievement appeared to be no less seismic when the results finally began to trickle through.
Sinn Fein has swept aside many years of history and is on course to become the first nationalist or republican party to take the largest share of seats in a Northern Ireland Assembly election.
The results will be a significant psychological blow to Sir Jeffrey Donaldson’s DUP, which has lost its position as the biggest party for the first time since 2003, when it usurped David Trimble’s Ulster Unionists.
Safe in the knowledge that the election was in its hands, Sinn Fein ran a safety-first campaign, seemingly unwilling to engage in any electoral trench warfare, preferring instead to portray vice president Michelle O’Neill as the “first minister for all” in waiting.
The party also made a tactical decision not to labour the point over its desire to see Irish unity, concentrating instead on bread and butter issues such as the cost-of-living crisis and spiralling hospital waiting lists, which seem to have chimed positively with voters.
The DUP’s gamble on focusing its campaigning energy on unionist opposition to the Northern Ireland Protocol and raising the spectre of a Sinn Fein victory increasing the possibility of a border poll on unity was less successful, with the party dropping both in its share of first preference votes and overall seats.
The much anticipated Alliance Party surge has also become a reality in this election, with the cross-community party now set to become the third largest at Stormont.
The growing support for Naomi Long’s party shows an increasing percentage of the population in Northern Ireland who seem to want to move away from traditional orange and green politics.
The election has been a crushing disappointment for the smaller unionist and nationalist parties, the UUP and SDLP. Despite their leaders receiving positive personal ratings, any upsurge in support at the ballot boxes failed to materialise.
UUP leader Doug Beattie, who was spared the indignity of losing his Upper Bann seat, chose to contrast his approach to that of the DUP, insisting that he stood for positive politics, while Colum Eastwood of the SDLP won plaudits in the televised election debates of his articulate portrayals of the concerns facing voters.
However, both parties leave the election facing the headache that they are further away than ever from challenging the hegemony of the larger unionist and nationalist parties.
While the election is now settled, what is less clear is what it will all mean.
As the largest party, Sinn Fein is entitled by Stormont rules to nominate Ms O’Neill for the position of first minister.
However, Northern Ireland has been without a powersharing Executive for several months after the DUP withdrew in protest at the protocol, a post-Brexit trading arrangement hated by unionists because it creates an economic barrier between the region and the rest of the UK.
Sir Jeffrey has stated clearly that he will not re-enter government until his concerns are met, something which seems potentially even more distant after Secretary of State Brandon Lewis intimated on the eve of the election that there would be no new law overriding the protocol in the Queen’s Speech next week.
Even if unionist concerns over the operation of the protocol could somehow be resolved, Sir Jeffrey has so far refused to confirm that he would be prepared to take the position of deputy first minister in any Executive in which Ms O’Neill was first minister.
The DUP’s current position means that any imminent return of the Stormont Executive appears to be unlikely.
The new electoral landscape is now clear, but the political future for Northern Ireland remains as uncertain as ever. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10792799/Sinn-Fein-forges-new-electoral-landscape-NI-faces-uncertain-future.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-07T17:44:27Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10792799/Sinn-Fein-forges-new-electoral-landscape-NI-faces-uncertain-future.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 21 |

Khammam: The district TRS president, MLC Tata Madhusudhan tore into Congress leadership and demanded to know what the former governments led by the party did for Telangana’s development. The MLC described the Warangal Declaration announced by the former AICC president Rahul Gandhi at Rythu Sangharshana Sabha in Warangal on Friday as a meaningless one.
Speaking to the media here on Saturday Madhusudhan said it was absurd that a national party was making a declaration for a State. If it was a national declaration the party should implement it in the States being ruled by Congress, he demanded. During its six decades rule in the country Congress party neglected the welfare of farmers and people. That was why the people in Punjab defeated the party and elected the AAP government.
Congress which failed to provide seeds, fertilisers and supply electricity to farming needs has no moral right to speak about the farmers welfare. All the previous Congress governments were the most anti-farmer ones, he said. During the YSR regime farmers were lathi charged and jailed for demanding supply of seeds and fertilisers. Whereas the TRS government has been supplying 24-hour free electricity for agricultural needs, providing seeds and fertilisers, besides Rythu Bandhu and others.
Linking of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) with agriculture, a point in Warangal Declaration, was also being demanded by the TRS along with farmers and there was nothing new in that, Madhusudhan reminded. He ridiculed the TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy’s assertion that Congress was going to shake the foundations of TRS. As long as Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was there none could touch the TRS, he said, hitting back at the Congress leader.
“TRS is a party with 60 lakh registered members. Chandrashekhar Rao, who fought for and achieved separate Telangana was leading the State as its Chief Minister and public in the State are with the TRS” Madhusudhan asserted. He refuted Congress leaders’ allegations that the TRS was in a secret pact with the BJP and described Revanath Reddy as an agent of the TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu.
DCC Bank Chairman K Nagabhushanam, Mayor P Neeraja, SUDA Chairman B Vijay Kumar, TRS city president P Nagaraju and others were present.

There are many national days of remembrance, with the most obvious and highly poignant date being Remembrance Sunday which commemorates the contribution of British and Commonwealth military in the two World Wars and later conflicts. However, an important day of celebration that is just around the corner is V.E Day.
On May 8, 1945, millions of people rejoiced as the Allied Nations in Europe secured victory after Nazi Germany had surrendered. VE Day - which stands for ‘Victory in Europe’ Day - marks the day when the German armed forces signed an unconditional surrender, and brought World War II to an end after six years.
In London, huge crowds massed in Trafalgar Square and all the way up to Buckingham Palace where King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, joined by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, appeared on the balcony of the Palace. Since then, VE Day is marked annually on the May 8 across Europe.

In recent years, the Queen normally joins thousands of veterans and their families in a service at Westminster Abbey, before a military parade takes place passes through to Buckingham Palace. In 2020, celebrations for the 75th anniversary of VE Day were largely scrapped due to the Coronavirus pandemic. With social distancing restrictions in place, there were no parades or street parties allowed.
However, there was a televised address by the Queen to the nation and many households celebrated in their front gardens during national lockdown. During VE Day 2020, Lord Speaker Lord Fowler said: "Even in these uncertain times it is important that we mark the 75th anniversary of the end of Nazism and hostilities in Europe.
"Untold millions of service men and women, as well as civilians, died in the Second World War. We should never forget them. Their personal sacrifice secured a better future for us all."
This year, local events will resume across the country to commemorate VE Day. Wreath-laying ceremonies, thanksgiving services, street parties and concerts are some of the many events that are set to be held. | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/ve-day-2022-the-queen-23894096 | 2022-05-07T17:55:21Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/ve-day-2022-the-queen-23894096 | true | 1 |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea flight-tested a ballistic missile that was likely fired from a submarine on Saturday, South Korea’s military said, continuing a provocative streak in weapons demonstrations that may culminate with a nuclear test in the coming weeks or months.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch occurred from waters near the eastern port city of Sinpo, where North Korea has a major shipyard building submarines. It said the short-range missile flew 600 kilometers (372 miles) at a maximum altitude of 60 kilometers (37 miles) but it didn’t immediately provide details about the submarine that would have been involved in the launch.
The U.S. military’s Indo-Pacific Command said it a statement that while the launch did not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to its allies, it “highlights the destabilizing impact of the DPRK’s illicit weapons program. The U.S. commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea and Japan remains ironclad.”
Japanese Defense Minister Nobu Kishi told reporters that the missile fell outside of Japan’s exclusive economic zone and that no damage to aircraft or vessels was reported.
South Korea’s national security director Suh Hoon and other senior officials during an emergency meeting denounced the launch and urged North Korea to return to long-stalled talks aimed at defusing the nuclear standoff, Seoul’s presidential office said.
It was apparently North Korea’s first demonstration of a submarine-launched ballistic missile system since October last year, when it fired a new short-range missile from the 8.24 Yongung – its only known submarine capable of launching a missile. The October underwater launch was the North’s first in two years.
On Wednesday, the South Korean and Japanese militaries detected a suspected ballistic missile fired from near the capital, Pyongyang. Both exercises come ahead of the inauguration on Tuesday of South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol, who has vowed to take a tougher approach over the North’s nuclear ambitions.
Yoon’s office said in a statement that his government will pursue “actual deterrence ability” against the North’s nuclear and missile threat, but didn’t specify how. Yoon has vowed to strengthen South Korea’s defense in conjunction with its alliance with the United States, which he said would include enhancing missile striking capabilities.
So far this year, North Korea has fired missiles 15 times. They include the country’s first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile since 2017 in March that demonstrated a potential range to reach the entirety of the U.S. mainland.
North Korea has been clearly exploiting a favorable environment to push forward its weapons program with the U.N. Security Council divided and effectively paralyzed over Russia’s war on Ukraine. The unusually fast pace in testing activity underscores a brinkmanship aimed at forcing the United States to accept the idea of the North as a nuclear power and remove crippling sanctions, experts say.
There are also signs that North Korea is restoring tunnels at a nuclear testing ground, where it had conducted its sixth and last nuclear test in September 2017, in possible preparations for another explosive test. Analysts say the North could use another nuclear test to claim it can now build small nuclear warheads for its expanding range of shorter-range weapons threatening South Korea and Japan, or put a cluster of bombs on a multi-warhead ICBM.
Jalina Porter, the U.S. State Department’s deputy spokesperson, said during a briefing Friday that the United States assesses that North Korea could be ready to conduct a nuclear test at its Punggye-ri test site as early as this month.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has punctuated his recent missile tests with statements warning that the North could proactively use its nuclear weapons if threatened or provoked. Experts say such rhetoric possibly portends an escalatory nuclear doctrine that would create greater concerns for South Korea and Japan.
Kim made one of those statements during an April 25 parade in Pyongyang, where he showcased the most notable weapons in his military nuclear program, including ICBMs and what appeared to be a new type of missile designed to be fired from submarines that could be larger than previous models.
“(North Korea’s) submarine technology probably remains short of being able to stay at sea for extended periods while avoiding detection. But the ability to launch ballistic missiles from a submarine would further complicate missions to neutralize and defend against North Korea’s nuclear forces,” said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Seoul’s Ewha Womans University.
He said the Kim regime appears to be preparing to test a miniaturized nuclear device that it can use to arm its submarine-launched or tactical missiles, and multiple warheads on its ICBMs.
North Korea has been pushing hard to acquire an ability to fire nuclear-armed missiles from submarines, which in theory would bolster its deterrent by ensuring retaliation after absorbing a nuclear attack on land.
Ballistic missile submarines would also add a new maritime threat to the North’s growing collection of solid-fuel weapons fired from land vehicles, which are being developed with an apparent aim to overwhelm missile defense systems in South Korea and Japan.
The North in recent years has been developing and testing a family of missiles named Pukguksong, which are designed to be fired from submarines or land vehicles. Still experts say the heavily sanctioned nation would need considerably more time, resources and major technological improvements to build at least several submarines that could travel quietly in seas and reliably execute strikes.
The South Korean and Japanese militaries said the North Korean missile fired on Wednesday traveled about 500 kilometers (310 miles) at a maximum altitude of 800 kilometers (500 miles). North Korean state media have yet to comment on that test.

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea will be sold to a consortium fronted by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly, ending 19 years of ownership and lavish investment by Roman Abramovich until the Russian oligarch was sanctioned and forced to offload the English Premier League club over the war in Ukraine.
The sale price of 2.5 billion pounds ($3.1 billion) for the reigning Club World Cup winner and 2021 European champion is the most lucrative ever for a sports team worldwide but Abramovich cannot receive the proceeds, which he hopes will go to a foundation for the victims of the war.
A further 1.75 billion pounds ($2.2 billion) has been committed to invest in Chelsea’s teams and stadiums after two months of rapid negotiations to sell the west London club since Russia invaded Ukraine.
After several rival bids were rejected, Chelsea said on Saturday that buyout terms were agreed with a consortium that features Boehly along with Dodgers principal owner Mark Walter, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss and funding from private equity firm Clearlake Capital.
The Premier League must approve them as the new ownership and the government has to sign off under the terms of the license that allows Chelsea to continue operating as a business through May 31 while being one of Abramovich’s frozen assets.
Abramovich has said he would write off loans of more than 1.5 billion pounds ($1.9 billion) to Chelsea but that has been complicated by thesanctions put in place by the British governmentas part of a crackdown on wealthy Russians with ties to President Vladimir Putin. Abramovich’s side positioned him as a potential peacemaker but that trail has gone silent publicly in recent weeks and the billionaire has not condemned the war.
Chelsea, whose ability to sell match tickets and commit to new player spending has been hampered by the sanctions, expects the sale to be completed by late May.
“Proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich,“ Chelsea said in a statement.
Boehly is already in London and attended Chelsea’s Premier League match on Saturday against Wolverhampton at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel’s team is third in the standings with four games remaining. The title is out of reach but Champions League qualification is nearly secured.
“Not relieved,” Tuchel said of the prospective sale, “but it gives us an outlook if terms are agreed, and hopefully the process will be streamlined and go forward as soon as possible. Good news.”
Chelsea has the smallest and most dated stadium of the Premier League’s most successful clubs, with plans for a rebuild of the 41,000-capacity venue put on hold by Abramovich in 2018 as British-Russian diplomatic tensions deepened.
Chelsea said the 1.75 billion pounds committed will be in funding investments in Stamford Bridge, the academy and the women’s team, which can win its league title on Sunday.
Boehly is part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers MLB franchise and he also has minority stakes in the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.
The challenge will be maintaining the expectation of regular trophies produced under the expensive transformation of Chelsea, with 21 collected in 19 years.
Chelsea had won the league only once — in 1955 — when Abramovich bought the club in 2003. Helped by expensive signings, the club won the Premier League two years later and has added four more since then, most recently in 2017.
There is increased competition from wealthy owners to buy and retain players. In England alone, Manchester City has benefited from Abu Dhabi investment since 2008 and Newcastle was bought by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund last year.
No details have been provided about the future day-to-day leadership of Chelsea, which was the first Premier League club to benefit from a mega-rich foreign investor in 2003.
Boehly, who studied at the London School of Economics, co-founded the Eldridge Industries investment firm in 2015 and serves as its chairman and CEO. The private holding company has investments in over 70 businesses, including in sports, entertainment and media.
Besides the Los Angeles teams, Boehly has minority ownership stakes in the esports organization Cloud9 and DraftKings, an American fantasy sports wagering company.
He is chairman of Security Benefit, a retirement solutions provider based in Topeka, Kansas, and MRC, an entertainment company that funds and produces film and television programming, including major shows such as the Golden Globes, the American Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards.
MRC’s other holdings include Penske Media, which owns Billboard, Rolling Stone, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.
Before he co-founded Eldridge, Boehly was president of Guggenheim Partners. Walter, who teamed up with Boehly to buy Chelsea, is CEO of the financial services firm.
Their first chance to see Chelsea win a trophy is next Saturday in the FA Cup final. Liverpool is the opponent at Wembley Stadium.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A big casino landlord closed its acquisition of MGM Resorts International’s real estate spinoff, giving the buyer several more hotel properties on the Strip.
Caesars Entertainment spinoff VICI Properties said April 29 that it completed its $17.2 billion buyout of MGM Growth Properties, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The deal was first announced last August and included the assumption of about $5.7 billion of debt.
As part of the sale, VICI acquired several MGM Resorts-operated properties along Las Vegas Boulevard including Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, The Mirage, Park MGM, New York-New York, Luxor and Excalibur.
It also picked up several other casino properties outside Nevada, including MGM Grand Detroit and MGM National Harbor near Washington, D.C.
All told, VICI is slated to receive more than $1 billion in initial annual rent from the newly acquired properties, the firm indicated.
The buyout likely won’t result in noticeable changes at the resorts anytime soon, as VICI does not operate the properties but rather collects rent from the companies that do.
Still, it easily ranks among the largest real estate sales the Strip has ever seen and significantly expands VICI’s holdings in the famed casino corridor, making the New York company one of the biggest property owners on Las Vegas Boulevard.
VICI now owns 10 resorts on the Strip totaling almost 41,000 hotel rooms, 1.2 million square feet of casino space and 5.9 million square feet of meeting and convention space, company President and Chief Operating Officer John Payne said in a news release.
Company CEO Ed Pitoniak said the deal makes VICI the largest owner of hotel and conference real estate in America.
MGM Resorts, which spun off MGM Growth in 2016 and was its controlling shareholder, received about $4.4 billion in cash as part of the VICI buyout, according to a company news release.
Operations at MGM Resorts-run properties now owned by VICI “will continue as before for guests and employees,” MGM spokesman Brian Ahern told the Review-Journal.
MGM will use proceeds from the deal to invest in its “core business,” President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle said in a May 2 earnings call, adding the company would also “continue to seek meaningful growth opportunities.”
MGM announced it is offering $607 million to buy LeoVegas, a Swedish online gaming firm. It also is in the process of buying the operations side of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for more than $1.6 billion; will begin spending on a new resort in Osaka, Japan, later this year; and plans to build a 1,000-room resort in the United Arab Emirates.
VICI was spun off from Caesars Entertainment in 2017 as the casino chain’s main operating unit emerged from bankruptcy. By the end of that year, VICI’s real estate holdings on the Strip consisted of Caesars Palace and Harrah’s, a securities filing shows.
VICI was already in the process of growing its portfolio on Las Vegas Boulevard before the MGM Growth buyout was unveiled.
Casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp. announced in March 2021 that it was selling its properties on the Strip — The Venetian, Palazzo, and former Sands Expo and Convention Center — for about $6.25 billion to VICI and investment giant Apollo Global Management.
Under the transaction, which closed in February, VICI acquired the real estate for $4 billion. Apollo acquired the operations side for $2.25 billion and leased the former Sands sites from VICI.
Since its formation, VICI has completed about $29.5 billion of mergers and acquisitions and other investment activity, general counsel Samantha Sacks Gallagher said in a recent news release. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Caesars-spinoff-VICI-closes-on-big-Vegas-Strip-17156472.php | 2022-05-07T17:59:46Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Caesars-spinoff-VICI-closes-on-big-Vegas-Strip-17156472.php | false | 22 |

Pune, May 7 (PTI) NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday praised billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani and said the latter started from zero but was now a major contributor in the infrastructure development of the country.

"Once the list of rich people comprised the Birlas and Tatas. Now they have been replaced. Since one week, I have been reading about a Jain individual who has become the country's richest man and that is Gautam Adani," he said.
"He is good friend of mine. He started with zero. Now go anywhere in an aircraft and you will have to use an airport of Adani. Almost 70 per cent airports belong to Adani," he added.
The basis of development was infrastructure and Adani had a major presence in this sector as well, the former Union minister said.
"This contribution is not only for the Adani group but for the country. We cannot forget those who are contributing to the country's development," Pawar said.

Julian Ward has reportedly been tasked with getting a new contract sorted for Liverpool defender, Joe Gomez, as has been reported by the Echo.
The highly-rated Englishman has been tipped by some commentators for the exit door this summer in light of increasing competition for places in the backline.
The addition of Ibrahima Konate last year has helped the Reds shore up an area of the pitch that was a serious concern last term following a relentless onslaught of injuries in the defensive department.
Though game time has been somewhat short for the England international as the former RB Leipzig centre-back has adjusted swimmingly well to life in Merseyside, and Joel Matip’s lack of fitness concerns have added further competition, Gomez is thought to be the future of the back four.
Both Virgil van Dijk and our Cameroonian international have been clear fixtures in the heart of the defence, though it should be noted that there is a six-year age difference between the pair and the former Charlton Athletic prospect (not to mention an eight-year gap between the duo and our No.5.
Whilst we’d expect the two to remain a strong part of the side for the years to come, the reality of the situation is that the 24-year-old and Konate will at one point be fully phased into the backline.
The question remains as to whether Gomez’s patience will last long enough to see such an eventuality come to fruition. | https://www.empireofthekop.com/2022/05/07/julian-ward-tasked-with-nailing-down-contract-negotiations-for-liverpool-star-linked-with-anfield-exit-could-lead-to-25-year-olds-departure/ | 2022-05-07T18:02:47Z | https://www.empireofthekop.com/2022/05/07/julian-ward-tasked-with-nailing-down-contract-negotiations-for-liverpool-star-linked-with-anfield-exit-could-lead-to-25-year-olds-departure/ | false | 1 |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Dylan Carlson hit an RBI single in the ninth inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Designated hitter Juan Yepez doubled with one out off Camilo Doval (0-1) in the ninth. Carlson’s timely hit scored pinch runner Brendan Donovan.
”I worked myself into a count where I can be more aggressive,” said Carlson, who jumped on a 2-1 pitch.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol had high praise for Carlson.
”For him to take the at-bat that he had and drive that run in, that’s a big moment – not just for him, but for the whole team,” Marmol said.
Ryan Helsley (1-0) pitched 1 2/3 innings and earned the win. Giovanny Gallegos picked up his sixth save.
After four scoreless innings, each team scored in the fifth.
Harrison Bader launched a two-run homer to left field for the Cardinals. It was his second of the season.
The Giants countered in the bottom half when pinch-hitter Darin Ruf delivered a two-runs single.
San Francisco lost its fifth straight game and for the seventh time in eight contests. Offense has been a problem for the Giants, who have scored five runs in their last four games.
”One of the things that we did very well last year was keep the line moving, finding ways to get on base even when we weren’t driving the baseball,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. ”We’re not seeing the string of base hits. We’re not seeing the string of walks.”
Jordan Hicks started for St. Louis and worked 4 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs with five strikeouts and two walks.
Alex Cobb worked five innings for the Giants. He allowed three hits and two earned runs with eight strikeouts and a walk.
A TRUE GIANT
San Francisco recalled right-hander Sean Hjelle, their second-round selection in the 2018 draft. Hjelle instantly became one of the more distinct pitchers in the major leagues: At 6-foot-11, he matches former big league right-hander Jon Rauch as the tallest players in big league history.
Asked if he thought he’d never experience this milestone, Hjelle said: ”No. It’s everything I could have dreamed of.” Hjelle has been a starter while compiling a 2-1 record with a 4.37 ERA in five outings for San Francisco’s Triple-A Sacramento affiliate. He’ll initially be used in relief with the Giants. He became the fourth Giants player to make his big league debut this season by pitching a perfect seventh inning.
”It’s an advantage to be very different in the major leagues,” said Giants manager Gabe Kapler, who recalled facing 6-foot-10 left-handers Randy Johnson and Chris Young during his playing career. ”It was just different.
”Difference creates some discomfort. Discomfort is a good thing for the pitcher. When the batter in the box is uncomfortable, the pitcher on the mound has a slight advantage.”
The Giants returned RHP Mauricio Llovera to Sacramento and LHP Sam Long was optioned to Sacramento.
WAIN-O’S OK
Adam Wainwright, who was having a typically solid season before COVID-19 interrupted his campaign, took to Twitter to issue an upbeat health update.
”Just so everyone knows, I feel great. 100%, with zero symptoms,” tweeted Wanwright, the 17-year veteran who was 3-3 with a 3.18 ERA before being sidelined. ”Out of an abundance of caution and following MLB protocols I have to test negative twice before I can return. Which we’re hoping is very soon. Thanks for thinking about me!”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: RHP Jack Flaherty remains tentatively scheduled to throw in the bullpen Saturday as he tries to recover from a small tear in his throwing shoulder. Asked if Flaherty could be compared to a pitcher getting work in the early stages of spring training, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said, ”Yes and no” while declining to specify a date when Flaherty could be ready to pitch. … Marmol said that Cardinals players and personnel are wearing masks whenever they’re indoors in an effort to shield themselves from the COVID-19 virus. In other words, he said, it’s ”pretty similar to what it was” before some mask-related policies were eased.
Giants: As expected, outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee) was reinstated from the injured list and immediately installed in the leadoff spot to play right field for his first regular-season game … Tommy LaStella (right Achilles) and third baseman Evan Longoria (right hand) played five innings at second and third base, respectively, as they continued their injury rehabilitation assignments.
UP NEXT
Giants ace Logan Webb (3-1, 3.26) will oppose St. Louis left-hander Steven Matz (3-1, 4.56) as the series continues Saturday. Matz has won his last three decisions.

Sheffield United and Luton Town have booked their places in the Championship playoffs on the final day of the season, joining Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town in the battle for promotion to England's Premier League.
The pair were sitting fifth and sixth in English football's second-tier heading into their last games, and home victories over title winners Fulham and Reading respectively on Saturday ensured they retained those positions ahead of Millwall and Middlesbrough.
Sheffield United brushed aside Fulham 4-0 at Bramall Lane, while Luton's 1-0 victory at Reading meant they finished five points ahead of seventh-placed Middlesbrough, who lost 4-1 to Preston North End.
Forest looked set for a third-placed finish, having scored late through Brennan Johnson's penalty at Hull City, but Keane Lewis-Potter's equaliser two minutes later meant Huddersfield climbed up a place after their 2-0 win over Bristol City.
Millwall's faint hopes of snatching a playoff place were dashed after a 1-0 defeat at second-placed Bournemouth, who will join Fulham in the top flight next season having sealed promotion with victory over Forest earlier this week.
Fulham had scored 106 goals in 45 games and hammered Luton 7-0 on Monday to secure the Championship title.
But Marco Silva's side were cut apart by the Blades inside 25 minutes. Morgan Gibbs-White, Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge all punished poor Fulham defending and Enda Stevens added another in the second period.
Forest will now take on Sheffield United while Huddersfield will play Luton in the two-legged semi-finals, taking place from May 13-17, with the winners clashing at Wembley Stadium on May 29 for a place in the Premier League.
The relegation places had been settled for weeks, with Peterborough United, Derby County and Barnsley dropping down to the third-tier League One.
Peterborough signed off in style with a 4-0 demolition of Blackpool, but Wayne Rooney's Derby ended a difficult season with a 1-0 home defeat by Cardiff.

Wildfire season has already kicked off in parts of the western United States, and hot, dry conditions will soon bring the threat to Kittitas County. In gearing for that threat, local agencies and first responders are holding multiple events throughout the weekend to help educate county residents about what they can do to be ready for anything that may come their way.
The events being held in both Upper and Lower County are being done in conjunction with National Wildfire Preparedness Week, and each event gives residents a chance to brush up on the strategies being employed to protect communities vulnerable to the threat of wildfire. On Thursday, residents and landowners were welcomed at the Roslyn Fire Department to review what has been done to protect the locality, what is planned in the continuous fight against wildfire threat, and what they can do on their properties to advance the cause.
Mary and John Wendt own acreage in the Teanaway, and they attended Thursday’s meeting to discuss strategies they could employ on their property to mitigate wildfire risk, including mastication and the feasibility of a prescribed burn at some point in the future. After their property survived a close call during the Taylor Ridge Fire, Mary said they knew more had to be done as landowners to help protect the landscape from future threats.
“The fires concern us,” she said. “We want to do everything we can to be proactive.”
After being informed about Thursday’s event by another Upper County resident, the Wendts attended hoping to learn more about what is being done on the state and county level to protect communities against wildfire threats, saying the meeting was also a chance to network and learn about how to proceed with their plans for their property. Mary said informational events like the ones being held this weekend are invaluable for residents who want to prepare for what may come in the future.
“This is not going away,” she said of the prevalence of wildfires throughout the region. “This is going to be our new reality, and we are going to have to prepare for it.”
INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
Washington Prescribed Fire Council Chair and Roslyn resident Chris Martin said the Upper County events first gained traction before the pandemic but were curtailed over the past two years due to public health concerns over public gatherings. He said this year’s event schedule was spearheaded by Cle Elum Fire Chief Ed Mills, and that each one is being individually organized.
“The stuff that we had to go over was individually geared towards Roslyn,” he said of Thursday’s event.
Martin said widespread public interest in wildfire threat mitigation, at least in the Roslyn area came on the heels of the 2017 Jolly Mountain Fire.
“My technical phrase for that is that it was the change of underwear moment for people in Upper County,” he said.
As people begin rebuilding confidence in attending congregate events, Martin said he expects to see more people at meetings like the ones being held this weekend, saying the partnership between private landowners and public agencies is crucial in the ongoing fight against wildfire threats.
“We’re never going to get the scale of work that’s going to be done accomplished without trust,” he said. “Trust is built by small meetings, people coming together learning about things like this.”
Washington Department of Natural Resources Kittitas County Service Forester Rachel Mickey said part of her job is to work with landowners in the area to provide assistance in any way they can, including meeting with landowners to perform assessments on their property in regards to wildfire risk. She said the department’s core component is its fuels reduction and forest health cost-share program, which provides financial assistance for projects that help landowners reduce their wildfire risk through activities including thinning, brush removal, and disposal.
“Our main goal by attending events like this is not only to provide education, but to do outreach for our programs,” Mickey said. “We let them know that there’s not only free advice out there, but also financial assistance for people that want to do firewise activities.”
Seeing engagement on behalf of landowners both in virtual outreach events and at in-person events like the ones happening this weekend is encouraging to Mickey, who said her agency will continue to work constantly to get the word out to people interested in participating in programs that help mitigate wildfire risk.
“It’s super important to us, and it’s why we keep doing these events,” she said. “As we get more legislative funding, there will just be more opportunities for landowners.” | https://www.dailyrecordnews.com/news/county-events-help-educate-landowners-about-wildfire-preparedness-strategies/article_8ec18806-925e-5437-9f05-22e2938d7793.html | 2022-05-07T18:07:34Z | https://www.dailyrecordnews.com/news/county-events-help-educate-landowners-about-wildfire-preparedness-strategies/article_8ec18806-925e-5437-9f05-22e2938d7793.html | true | 1 |
Same People Who Defamed Ivermectin as 'Horse Dewormer' Now Suggest Women Go to Veterinarians for Abortion Med
Maybe it was the one-two punch of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter followed so soon by news the Supreme Court might be ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, but liberals seem to have lost their minds.
They’re promoting the narrative that if the landmark decision is overturned, women in America no longer will have access to safe, legal abortion.
Do they not understand that abortion will remain legal in half of the states? Are they choosing to ignore it so they can continue wallowing in the unfairness of it all? Or perhaps they’re trying to obscure that fact for political purposes?
Either way, one publication saw fit to publish a piece about how to make do-it-yourself abortion pills after Politico’s report Monday on the Supreme Court’s draft decision that would overturn Roe.
And despite the criticism it had heaped on those who promoted the use of ivermectin — which it dismissed as “horse dewormer” — to treat COVID-19, the drug used in its DIY abortion recipe is misoprostol, which is also prescribed to both humans and animals.
Motherboard, the tech vertical of the left-wing outlet Vice, shared the article on Twitter on Tuesday with the caption, “Misoprostol is relatively easy to acquire from veterinary sources, since in addition to medically inducing abortions, it’s also used to treat ulcers in horses.”
Misoprostol is relatively easy to acquire from veterinary sources, since in addition to medically inducing abortions, it’s also used to treat ulcers in horses. https://t.co/nglKSGjXA0

Apparently, medicines that are used in both horses and humans are no longer problematic.
After testing positive for COVID-19 last September, podcast host Joe Rogan reported he’d taken ivermectin along with several other medications and had a speedy recovery. He was mercilessly mocked by many on the left, including Motherboard’s Tim Marchman.
Marchman wrote that Rogan was “treating the illness with, among other things, ivermectin, the unproven treatment beloved by anti-vaccine activists and right-wing politicians.”
He reported that one of Rogan’s guests, Dr. Pierre Kory of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, promoted the use of ivermectin to treat the virus.
According to Marchman, “This was one of the key events leading to the ivermectin craze that has swept feed stores across the country and left public health officials begging the public to not drink horse dewormer.”
Perhaps a reader reminded the outlet of that article after the Tuesday post and called out its hypocrisy. It posted a follow-up tweet that said, “You may be reminded of ivermectin, which is used to control parasites in horses. It became a favored — but ineffective — COVID treatment among conspiracy theorists. The main difference here is that misoprostol does something, other than giving you the s***s.”
If that was supposed to explain why the use of misoprostol is OK but the use of ivermectin is not, it wasn’t terribly convincing.
The Motherboard article on Tuesday linked to a 17-minute video labeled “FTVDIYA” (which represents Four Thieves Vinegar Do It Yourself Abortion) from Michael Laufer, co-founder of the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective. In a 2018 article, Motherboard described the group as a “network of tech-fueled anarchists taking on Big Pharma with DIY medicines.”
Laufer, who has no medical training, recorded the video last year after the Texas Heartbeat Act passed the state’s Legislature. This law banned abortion in Texas once a fetal heartbeat could be detected, which typically happens after about six weeks.
Following the leak of the draft opinion from the Supreme Court on Monday night, he reposted the video.
Laufer described the ingredients required to create the pill. The first is misoprostol. He explains that because this drug is frequently prescribed to horses to cure ulcers, it may be easiest to obtain this drug from a veterinarian.
Oh, so it’s OK to use a veterinary drug to induce an abortion, but not to cure COVID as those conspiracy theorists on the right suggested.
Doctors: Got covid? Try Ivermectin!
Dems: NO, it’s horse medicine!
SCOTUS: We (might) overturn Roe.
Dems: OMG use horse medication as abortion!
This is not a joke. This is reality.
— Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) May 4, 2022
The whole premise of the Motherboard article is absurd.
“The fact that he had to make the video at all speaks to the horrifying nature of the world we’re finding ourselves in, and the potential lengths women might need to go to to have an abortion in a world without the protections of Roe v. Wade,” writer Jason Koebler argued. “In a progressive, just world, abortions would be free and safely administrated by medical professionals.”
Actually, Laufer didn’t have to make the video at all.
The fact that he did speaks to the lengths progressives are willing to go to spread disinformation about what the overturn of Roe v. Wade actually means.
And even Koebler acknowledged there are risks involved with Laufer’s method.
“Motherboard cannot speak to the safety of making your own pills, and the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has been criticized by some in the pharmaceutical and medical establishment who think that making DIY medicine isn’t safe under any circumstances,” he wrote.
But the most ironic part of this story is that the most critical ingredient in Laufer’s DIY pill can most easily be obtained from a veterinarian.

Cocaine found in coffee shipments sent to Nespresso facility
Authorities seized more than 1,000 pounds of cocaine – valued at over $50 million – that was discovered in shipments of coffee bean bags delivered to a Nespresso plant in Switzerland.
The cantonal police were called to the company's factory in Romont on Monday after employees discovered "an undetermined white substance while unloading bags of freshly delivered coffee beans."

Police say the employees were unloading bags that had just arrived off of five shipping containers from Brazil.
Officers immediately responded to the factory to analyze the powder, which turned out to be 80% pure cocaine.
"The search of the five sea containers delivered on the day in question by train led to the discovery and seizure of more than 500 kg of this drug," police said.

When Christopher DiRaddo’s second book was published last year during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Montreal author was disappointed he wouldn’t be able to mark the achievement with a glitzy in-person book launch.
Instead, he got creative. In addition to a virtual launch, he and his partner created special gift bags that included a signed copy of his book “The Family Way,” and drove all around the Montreal area delivering them to customers in person.
Unlike a traditional event, where he can often only spend a few moments with each attendee, he said the personalized visits gave him an opportunity for deeper connections with customers and old friends.
“In a weird way, it was almost like a reimagining of what a book launch could be,” he said in a recent phone interview.
As in-person literary events resume, authors like DiRaddo say the creative marketing solutions learned during lockdowns, as well as a pandemic-spurred rise in reading, give them hope for the future of their industry.
Several authors and publishers interviewed by The Canadian Press said the pandemic was hard on brick-and-mortar stores, which had to contend with weeks or months of forced closures, capacity limits and cancellations of book launches and meet-and-greets.
Chris Hall, co-owner of Winnipeg-based McNally Robinson Booksellers, said that while 2020 was a “catastrophic” year for many small bookstores, including his own, there are signs of a rebound.
While every store is different, he said his chain “roared back” in 2021, surpassing its 2019 sales despite pandemic challenges and the near-collapse of the market for book categories such as travel.
Hall, who is also president of the board for the Canadian Independent Booksellers Association, attributes the positive change to Canadians’ increasing willingness to support local businesses and to more people who picked up reading when other activities were cancelled.
“After a couple of months, there’s only so much Netflix you can watch,” he said in a recent phone interview.
Statistics Canada found that total book sales in Canada declined by 7.7 per cent from 2018 to 2020 — a phenomenon it chalked up in a February report to “the nationwide closure of bookstores during the early months of the pandemic, as well as the capacity limits at bookstores after they were allowed to open and consumer hesitancy to go to public places.”
While the numbers for last year weren’t published, Statistics Canada suggested in its report that there was a growth in retail book sales in 2021, as the restrictions on other entertainment options led more people to take up reading.
Nevertheless, the industry continues to face volatility and is “grappling with challenges, as supply chain woes are impacting paper mills and printing capacity, shipping availability, transportation networks, and costs,” the report said.
Data from BookNet Canada, a non-profit that serves the country’s book industry, indicated that sales of physical books increased 1.6 per cent in 2021 compared to 2020, though they remained below 2019 levels.
In an email, the non-profit suggested sales were up three per cent this year over the same period last year.
While concrete data indicating improving fortunes is still preliminary and often anecdotal, the authors and booksellers who spoke to The Canadian Press see reason for cautious optimism.
Montreal’s Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival, which runs through the weekend, is holding in-person events this year, including book launches, networking events and panel discussions.
Sruti Islam, a bookseller and creator of the online literary space Weird Era, took part in a discussion on Friday hosted by DiRaddo on how book promotion has evolved.
Islam, who works with Montreal indie bookstore Librairie St-Henri, said the pandemic brought challenges related not only to closures and cancelled events but also to supply chains, which led to back-ordered books sometimes taking a long time to arrive.
On the other hand, she said it created an opportunity to host online events, which were well-attended. She also launched a literary podcast, which is now in its second season.
She said she’s seeing rising interest among the public in political and social issues, which leads to “more interaction from our neighbourhood clientele wanting to engage more politically with texts and wanting to support local business more than ever.”
Hall said brick-and-mortar stores have benefited from being forced during the pandemic to improve online sales options, such as click and collect, and by boosting their social media presences.
Some authors are also benefiting from a marketing boost from young influencers who use social media platforms such as TikTok, where a subcategory often dubbed BookTok has become popular enough to send sales of some titles shooting upward, even years after publication.
It’s unclear whether the population’s newly rediscovered interest in reading will wane now that pandemic restrictions are over and people have more entertainment options.
Hall can only hope so. He said he’s optimistic the pandemic was long enough to have allowed people to entrench their reading habits and that they’ll want to return to those “quiet moments” as the world speeds up. He said he also hopes independent bookstores will be able to combine their improved capability to operate online with the attraction of a physical space for readers to meet.
“Amazon,” he said, “doesn’t have a place for you to go.”

Callum Davidson a lot happier with St Johnstone after draw at Livingston
By PA Staff published
St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson has praised the improved performance of his players despite conceding a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
After Glenn Middleton’s second-half header was cancelled out by Jack Fitzwater’s last-minute strike, the Saints all-but confirmed their spot in the cinch Premiership relegation play-off, as they sit six points clear of rock-bottom Dundee with a superior goal difference going into the final two matches.
Davidson was pleased with the reaction to last weekend’s disappointing home defeat to St Mirren, as his side put in a much-improved display.
He said: “I’ll sum it up between last week and this week – I’m a lot happier with the boys’ performance, I thought we tried to play, we tried to get on the ball and move it and cause Livingston problems.
“The late goal might be relevant, obviously we need to make sure we get two good results but we knew where we were with other results so it didn’t really make a difference.
“I don’t like losing when we don’t have a go and don’t play well enough and that was last week.
“It was really disappointing last week and I was pleased with the reaction from the players today.
“Glenn Middleton came on and gave us a wee spark and I thought Stevie May was good.
“I played him today because I thought he would get in behind and he would work hard and he did that.
“We had a wee chance at the end (through Callum Hendry), obviously I’m disappointed with the goal but a lot happier with the performance.”
Livingston boss David Martindale, meanwhile, felt his players were “lethargic” at times but he praised their character in not letting the match fizzle out, despite being safe in mid-table.
He said: “We were a wee bit lethargic today, I thought in the first half, but I need to give St Johnstone a bit of credit as well.
“I thought it had 0-0 written on it all day long then we don’t defend the back area and we allow a left-wing back to come in on his right foot.
“We then work a quick free-kick – (Jason) Holt’s ball’s tremendous, Scott’s (Pittman) runs fantastic and Fitzwater does really well because I’ve seen it more than enough times this season with the boys on the back zone switching off.
“Zander (Clark) pulls off a really good save but Fitzwater follows the ball in so a decent goal from our point of view and happy to get a point out of the game.
“Fair play to the lads, the game could have petered out at 1-0 but they fought really hard and got back into the game, and created chances to try and win the game of football.
“If it had ended 0-0, fans were probably wanting their money back but they’ve got two goals so they can’t ask for it back now!”

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea will be sold to a consortium fronted by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly, ending 19 years of ownership and lavish investment by Roman Abramovich until the Russian oligarch was sanctioned and forced to offload the English Premier League club over the war in Ukraine.
The sale price of 2.5 billion pounds ($3.1 billion) for the reigning Club World Cup winner and 2021 European champion is the most lucrative ever for a sports team worldwide but Abramovich cannot receive the proceeds, which he hopes will go to a foundation for the victims of the war.
A further 1.75 billion pounds ($2.2 billion) has been committed to invest in Chelsea’s teams and stadiums after two months of rapid negotiations to sell the west London club since Russia invaded Ukraine.
After several rival bids were rejected, Chelsea said on Saturday that buyout terms were agreed with a consortium that features Boehly along with Dodgers principal owner Mark Walter, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss and funding from private equity firm Clearlake Capital.
The Premier League must approve them as the new ownership and the government has to sign off under the terms of the license that allows Chelsea to continue operating as a business through May 31 while being one of Abramovich’s frozen assets.
Abramovich has said he would write off loans of more than 1.5 billion pounds ($1.9 billion) to Chelsea but that has been complicated by thesanctions put in place by the British governmentas part of a crackdown on wealthy Russians with ties to President Vladimir Putin. Abramovich’s side positioned him as a potential peacemaker but that trail has gone silent publicly in recent weeks and the billionaire has not condemned the war.
Chelsea, whose ability to sell match tickets and commit to new player spending has been hampered by the sanctions, expects the sale to be completed by late May.
“Proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich,“ Chelsea said in a statement.
Boehly is already in London and attended Chelsea’s Premier League match on Saturday against Wolverhampton at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel’s team is third in the standings with four games remaining. The title is out of reach but Champions League qualification is nearly secured.
“Not relieved,” Tuchel said of the prospective sale, “but it gives us an outlook if terms are agreed, and hopefully the process will be streamlined and go forward as soon as possible. Good news.”
Chelsea has the smallest and most dated stadium of the Premier League’s most successful clubs, with plans for a rebuild of the 41,000-capacity venue put on hold by Abramovich in 2018 as British-Russian diplomatic tensions deepened.
Chelsea said the 1.75 billion pounds committed will be in funding investments in Stamford Bridge, the academy and the women’s team, which can win its league title on Sunday.
Boehly is part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers MLB franchise and he also has minority stakes in the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.
The challenge will be maintaining the expectation of regular trophies produced under the expensive transformation of Chelsea, with 21 collected in 19 years.
Chelsea had won the league only once — in 1955 — when Abramovich bought the club in 2003. Helped by expensive signings, the club won the Premier League two years later and has added four more since then, most recently in 2017.
There is increased competition from wealthy owners to buy and retain players. In England alone, Manchester City has benefited from Abu Dhabi investment since 2008 and Newcastle was bought by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund last year.
No details have been provided about the future day-to-day leadership of Chelsea, which was the first Premier League club to benefit from a mega-rich foreign investor in 2003.
Boehly, who studied at the London School of Economics, co-founded the Eldridge Industries investment firm in 2015 and serves as its chairman and CEO. The private holding company has investments in over 70 businesses, including in sports, entertainment and media.
Besides the Los Angeles teams, Boehly has minority ownership stakes in the esports organization Cloud9 and DraftKings, an American fantasy sports wagering company.
He is chairman of Security Benefit, a retirement solutions provider based in Topeka, Kansas, and MRC, an entertainment company that funds and produces film and television programming, including major shows such as the Golden Globes, the American Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards.
MRC’s other holdings include Penske Media, which owns Billboard, Rolling Stone, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.
Before he co-founded Eldridge, Boehly was president of Guggenheim Partners. Walter, who teamed up with Boehly to buy Chelsea, is CEO of the financial services firm.
Their first chance to see Chelsea win a trophy is next Saturday in the FA Cup final. Liverpool is the opponent at Wembley Stadium.

Shreyas Iyer jokingly said he was beginning to prefer to lose tosses -- a statement that hinted at the helplessness of the Kolkata Knight Riders captain after his side was comfortably outclassed by Lucknow Super Giants in Match 53 of IPL 2022 at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Sunday.
Shreyas Iyer won the toss in a must-win game for KKR and opted to field but the 2-time champions were handed a 75-run loss. Kolkata looked clueless during the chase after losing 3 wickets in the powerplay, including that of captain Iyer, Aaron Finch, and opener Baba Indrajith. Nitish Rana fell in the over after the powerplay as KKR ran out of steam inside the first 7 overs.
LSG vs KKR: Highlights | Report
Andre Russell, who had shone with the ball as well, came up with a stunning counter-attack, hitting 45 from just 19 balls but he was dismissed by Avesh Khan in the 13th over of the chase. KKR slipped from 85 for 5 to 101-all out in the 15th over as they were bundled out and decimated by the Lucknow Super Giants, who went to the top of the table.
When asked about his decision to opt to bowl on a two-paced pitch, Shreyas Iyer "said it's him and head coach Brendon McCullum who decide on what to do after winning the toss.
We (Myself and McCullum) discuss chasing, we have this conversation every now and then. I have won a lot of tosses, but it would have been good if I lost those tosses. We are not able to capitalize on small things,"Iyer said,
IPL 2022: Points Table | Full Coverage
Kolkata Knight Riders got off to a good start as captain Iyer ran out KL Rahul for 0 but Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda tore into the KKR attack which was without Umesh Yadav, who was ruled out due to a calf injury. De Kock hit 50 from just 29 balls while Hooda smashed 41 from 27 balls as the duo stitched 71 runs for the 2nd wicket.
However, Russell and Sunil Narine kept things tight in the middle overs to starve the LSG innings of momentum. Then came the dramatic 19th over in which Shivam Mavi, the young KKR pacer, conceded 5 sixes and picked up the wicket of Marcus Stoinis, who had hit 3 big ones on the trot.
LSG looked like finishing with less than 150 but they pushed their total to 176 which in the end proved too much for KKR.
The 2-time champions are rooted to the 8th spot with just 4 wins in 11 matches with their playoffs hopes vanishing quickly. However, Iyer said KKR will have to bounce back and make sure they do well in their next 3 games to give themselves a chance, in case there is a slide at the top.
We need to assess that and bounce back. In the next three games, we need to do that. Ïn the middle overs, we have been bowling amazingly, just that we need to do well in the powerplay and in the death overs," he added.
KKR, who have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, will next face Mumbai Indians, on Monday. | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/ipl-2022/story/lsg-vs-kkr-75-run-loss-shreyas-iyer-jokes-lose-toss-brendon-mccullum-1946720-2022-05-07 | 2022-05-07T18:40:17Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/ipl-2022/story/lsg-vs-kkr-75-run-loss-shreyas-iyer-jokes-lose-toss-brendon-mccullum-1946720-2022-05-07 | false | 1 |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Latest on the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby (all times EDT):
___
1:45 p.m.
Spectators are returning big time for the 148th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, which aims for close to full capacity beneath the Twin Spires for the first time since 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic.
Zandon is the 3-1 morning line favorite and will start from the No. 10 post. Epicenter is the 7-2 second choice from the No. 3 post, with Messier the 8-1 third choice from the No. 6 post. He and stablemate Taiba (12-1, No. 12) are being guided by Tim Yakteen, who took over training for suspended Hall of Famer Bob Baffert.
Other familiar sights have returned for the Derby.
After being postponed until Labor Day weekend in 2020 and held without spectators and then run last May with limited capacity, this year’s Run for the Roses is being held without pandemic restrictions. That includes facemasks, which were hard to find as race fans packed the paddock area at the historic track. As usual, women sported big, colorful hats and fascinators while men wore seersucker suits and other creative attire as cigar smoke wafted through the cool air under a cloudy sky.
Kentucky’s trademark bourbon flowed as well, particularly in mint juleps that filled many glasses. Friday’s Kentucky Oaks provided a nice warmup as 100,188 took in the scene of the race for 3-year-old fillies.
At a press briefing Saturday, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear brushed off a question about former President Donald Trump’s rumored appearance at Churchill Downs, noting that Derby Day is “a day of festivity, where hopefully we put any divisions aside.”
“Hopefully, we focus more on the race in front of us than any races in our future,” Beshear added. “It’s a chance for everybody to see that Kentucky is welcoming to anyone who wants to come to this track, former president included.”

A new reserved lane for buses and taxis is coming to Queen Mary Rd. this summer, hopefully making rush hour traffic easier for the scores of bus and taxi users running the stretch between Côte des Neiges and Macdonald.
The Société de transport de Montréal will begin working on the lanes this summer. Running eastbound in the morning and westbound in the evening, the reserved lanes are expected to benefit 8,000 users during peak hours, riders who will see their return trip between the two ends of the lane reduced by nearly 7 minutes every day.
Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Borough Mayor Gracia Kasoki Katahwa says “After years of waiting, the thousands of students and workers who take the bus there every day deserve faster and more predictable service."
The 51 route along Queen-Mary is the STM bus line with the most hours of service, about 50 buses serving nearly 8,000 user trips during peak hours, and serving Saint Joseph's Oratory, Snowdon metro, the Université de Montréal, the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal and many schools and businesses. In its entirety, the 51 runs from Laurier metro to Concordia’s Loyola campus and the Montreal Ouest train station.
There will be an impact on parking, with spaces removed for the 3 hours per day during the week, but the borough will be adding 52 paid spaces to nearby cross streets, close to and on both sides of the intersections with Queen Mary, borough communications director Étienne Brunet told The Suburban, adding there will be “12 more on the north side of Queen-Mary between Westbury and Lemieux.”
Brunet says the borough will meet with local merchants next week to hear from them about the upcoming reserved bus lane, and that “the borough will also watch closely how this will affect residential parking. We have effective tools like the SRRR (residents-only parking zones) to protect residential parking if need be.”
The lanes should be up and running for late August and the back-to-school period, and are
part of the new measures for the west end, which will also see cyclists able to use the reserved bus and taxi lane on Sherbrooke.
The announcement was made just days after the launch of a survey on people's travel habits in and around the borough in anticipation of the borough’s new transportation plan.

A Quick Take On Sonendo
Sonendo (NYSE:SONX) has filed to raise $125 million in an IPO of its common stock, according to an S-1/A registration statement.
The firm provides a system that automates the cleaning and disinfection for root canal procedures.
However, SONX is still producing high operating losses and has demonstrated no obvious path to profitability, so I'll pass on the IPO.
Company & Technology
Laguna Hills, California-based Sonendo was founded to develop technologies that automate and standardize root canal procedures to enable better results and less post-operative pain.
Management is headed by president and CEO Bjarne Bergheim, who has been with the firm since 2006 and was previously co-founder of Fjord Ventures, a life science accelerator organization.
Below is a brief overview video of the firm's GentleWave system:

The company’s primary offering is the GentleWave System, which uses 'a proprietary mechanism of action that is designed to combine procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and advanced fluid dynamics to efficiently and effectively reach microscopic spaces within teeth and dissolve and remove tissue and bacteria with minimal or no removal of tooth structure.'
Sonendo has received at least $292 million in equity investment from investors including General Atlantic, OrbiMed, Meritech Capital and EW Healthcare.
Sonendo - Customer Acquisition
The firm sells its system in the U.S. and Canada via a direct sales force which targets dental practitioners who perform a high volume of root canals.
SONX estimates that each endodontist that the firm is focused on performs an average of approximately 900 root canals per year.
Selling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have trended lower as revenues have fluctuated as a result of the global pandemic, as the figures below indicate:

The Selling, G&A efficiency rate, defined as how many dollars of additional new revenue are generated by each dollar of Selling, G&A spend, swung back into positive territory in the most recent reporting period, as shown in the table below:

Sonendo’s Market & Competition
According to a 2021 market research report by The Insight Partners, the global root canal market will reach an estimated $1.02 billion in 2021 and grow to a forecast $1.39 billion by 2028.
This represents a forecast CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2028.
The main drivers for this expected growth are a growing elderly population experiencing greater tooth decay and the increasing availability of root canal procedures through a growing dentist market.
However, limited insurance reimbursement policies may lower the growth potential of the market and the global pandemic has reduced access and availability.
Major competitive or other industry participants include:
Dentsply Sirona
Envista
Sonendo Financial Performance
The company’s recent financial results can be summarized as follows:
Fluctuating topline revenue, due to pandemic-induced demand drop
Variable gross profit and gross margin
Reduced operating loss
Fluctuating cash used in operations
Below are relevant financial results derived from the firm’s registration statement:
(Source)
As of June 30, 2021, Sonendo had $25.7 million in cash and $46.1 million in total liabilities.
Free cash flow during the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was negative ($39.7 million).
Sonendo’s IPO Details
Sonendo intends to raise $125 million in gross proceeds from an IPO of its common stock, offering 7.8 million shares at a proposed midpoint price of $16.00 per share.
No existing shareholders have indicated an interest to purchase shares at the IPO price.
Assuming a successful IPO, the company’s enterprise value at IPO would approximate $310.6 million, excluding the effects of underwriter over-allotment options.
The float to outstanding shares ratio (excluding underwriter over-allotments) will be approximately 29.68%. A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.
Management says it will use the net proceeds from the IPO as follows:
approximately $66.0 million to expand our commercial organization and increase our sales and marketing programs;
approximately $30.0 million to fund our research and development activities and clinical initiatives to support adoption of our products; and
the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Management’s presentation of the company roadshow is not available.
Regarding outstanding legal proceedings, management says the firm is not subject to any material legal proceedings.
Listed bookrunners of the IPO are BofA Securities, Goldman Sachs, Pipe Sandler and Stifel.

(S-1/A and Seeking Alpha)
Commentary About Sonendo’s IPO
SONX is seeking public investment capital for its general commercialization ramp up efforts.
The firm’s financials show the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, as the firm’s sales cycle slowed dramatically due to dentist office closures or severe cutbacks during that period.
Sonendo has rebounded sharply in 1H 2021, although I suspect some of the revenue growth may be pent-up demand delayed from the previous year.
Free cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was hefty negative ($39.7 million).
Selling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have trended lower as revenue has fluctuated; its Selling, G&A efficiency rate swung back into positive territory in the first six months of 2021 as revenue growth resumed.
The market opportunity for providing improved root canal treatment options is reasonably large and expected to grow at a moderate rate of growth (4.5%) through 2028.
BofA Securities is the lead underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 11.1% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.
The primary risks to the company’s outlook are its reliance on a single system for its revenue as well as the continued lingering of the pandemic and potential negative impact on sales during periods of resurgence of the virus and resulting curtailment of dental procedures.
As for valuation, compared to partial competitor and much larger firm Dentsply Sirona, management is seeking a far higher revenue multiple, although SONX has grown at a much faster rate of growth in recent periods.
Sonendo will likely continue a relatively high growth trajectory as long as the pandemic does not return in such force as to reduce sales.
However, SONX is still producing high operating losses and has demonstrated no obvious path to profitability.
Given the recent IPO market’s disdain for high operating loss companies, I’ll watch the firm’s progress over time but pass on the IPO.

MSNBC Hits Chuck Todd with Apparent Demotion, Will Pull Him from the Airwaves
As MSNBC prepares to debut new programming by former Biden administration officials, Chuck Todd is being farmed out to NBC’s streaming service.
Todd’s “Meet The Press Daily,” which two years ago was bounced from a 5 p.m. time slot to 1 p.m., will go to 4 p.m. on NBC News NOW and be called “Meet the Press NOW,” according to Deadline.
The Daily Beast characterized the shift as Todd being “shuffled down the line at MSNBC.”
Todd’s new show will begin June 6.
As noted by Variety. Todd’s exit comes as the network adds new talent that leaped from the Biden White House.
On Saturday, Symone Sanders will debut her new program. Sanders was the spokeswoman for Vice President Kamala Harris before fleeing Harris’s office.
MSNBC also will be making room for White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Variety wrote, who is expected to join the network for a new show after taking a few months off.
NBC demotes Chuck Todd, again.
Todd has become a misfit.https://t.co/aeZhFsNAvP
— OutKick (@Outkick) May 6, 2022
Writing about the change for Outkick, Bobby Burack said too many probing questions to the wrong people greased the skids for Todd to be moved.
“Todd is hardly conservative, but he does ask tough questions while interviewing Democratic politicians. Todd didn’t get the memo that doing so is no longer allowed. His Sunday morning counterpart George Stephanopoulos is following this rule dutifully on ABC,” he wrote.
“The tale of Todd should clear up why hosts at corporate media outlets have pivoted away from the center: the job security and recognition come only to those who take a long stroll to the left. Todd forgot to make that move,” he wrote.
“Chuck Todd isn’t left-wing enough for NBC News anymore, and he’s certainly not kooky enough for a daily program on MSNBC. MSNBC and its parent company NBC have sent a message that it’s the network of Joy Reid, Savannah Guthrie and Jen Psaki. Todd no longer fits,” he wrote.
Although many commentators saw the change as a demotion for Todd, NBC tried to put a happy spin on the change.
It doesn’t matter to me why @chucktodd is moving to streaming during the week. It’s a demotion. I’m very happy @NBCNews is doing this. I will be happier when Sundays are taken from him
— Honest Man (@SeekOnlyTruth) May 6, 2022
Oof. Can’t believe they moved Chuck Todd to NBC Plus.
— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) May 6, 2022
“NBC News is the leader in streaming news. Since our launch, we’ve been committed to delivering the best of NBC News’ journalism, free, to streaming audiences everywhere,” NBC News President Noah Oppenheim said in a statement.
“Chuck was one of the first broadcast anchors to see the massive potential of streaming and bringing Meet the Press’s daily franchise to NBC News NOW reinforces the platform’s status as the destination for news on streaming,” he said.
NBC News anchor Chris Jansing will claim Todd’s MSNBC time slot.

The Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein, which seeks unification with Ireland, hailed a “new era” Saturday for Northern Ireland as it captured the largest number of seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly for the first time in a historic win.
With almost all votes counted from Thursday’s local UK election, Sinn Fein secured 27 of the Assembly’s 90 seats. The Democratic Unionist Party, which has dominated Northern Ireland’s legislature for two decades, captured 24 seats. The victory means Sinn Fein is entitled to the post of first minister in Belfast for the first time since Northern Ireland was founded as a Protestant-majority state in 1921.
The centrist Alliance Party, which doesn’t identify as either nationalist or unionist, saw huge surge in support and was set to become the other big winner in the vote, claiming 17 seats.
The victory is a milestone for Sinn Fein, which has long been linked to the Irish Republican Army, a paramilitary group that used bombs and bullets to try to take Northern Ireland out of UK rule during decades of violence involving Irish republican militants, Protestant Loyalist paramilitaries and the U.K. army and police.
“Today ushers in a new era,” Sinn Fein vice-president Michelle O’Neill said shortly before the final results were announced. “Irrespective of religious, political or social backgrounds, my commitment is to make politics work.”
O’Neill stressed that it was imperative for Northern Ireland’s politicians to come together next week to form an Executive — the devolved government of Northern Ireland. If none can be formed within six months, the administration will collapse, triggering a new election and more uncertainty.
There is “space in this state for everyone, all of us together,” O’Neill said. “There is an urgency to restore an Executive and start putting money back in people’s pockets, to start to fix the health service. The people can’t wait.”
While a Sinn Fein win would signal a historic shift that shows diminishing support for unionist parties, it’s far from clear what happens next because of Northern Ireland’s complicated power-sharing politics and ongoing tussles over post-Brexit arrangements.
Under a mandatory power-sharing system created by the 1998 peace agreement that ended decades of Catholic-Protestant conflict, the jobs of first minister and deputy first minister are split between the biggest unionist party and the largest nationalist one. Both posts must be filled for a government to function, but the Democratic Unionist Party has suggested it might not serve under a Sinn Fein first minister.
The DUP has also said it will refuse to join a new government unless there are major changes to post-Brexit border arrangements, known as the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Those post-Brexit rules, which took effect after Britain left the European Union, have imposed customs and border checks on some goods entering Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK. The arrangement was designed to keep an open border between Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland, a key pillar of the peace process.
But it angered many unionists, who maintain that the new checks have created a barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK that undermines their British identity. In February, the DUP’s Paul Givan resigned as first minister as post-Brexit tensions triggered a fresh political crisis in Northern Ireland.
Saturday’s results bring Sinn Fein’s ultimate goal of a united Ireland a step closer, although Sinn Fein kept unification out of the spotlight this year during a campaign dominated by the skyrocketing cost of living.
O’Neill has said, on Irish unification, there would be no constitutional change until voters decide on it. Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald indicated Friday that planning for any unity referendum could come within the next five years.
ALSO READ:
Polling expert John Curtice, a professor of political science at the University of Strathclyde, said Northern Ireland’s latest electoral results are a legacy of Brexit.
“The unionist vote has fragmented because of the divisions within the community over whether or not the Northern Ireland Protocol is something that can be amended satisfactorily or whether it needs to be scrapped,” he wrote on the BBC website.
Persuading the DUP to join a new government and trying to press the EU to agree to major changes in post-Brexit arrangements will pose a headache for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, he added. Johnson’s own Conservative party lost at least 450 seats in Thursday’s local election.

County Championship: Cheteshwar Pujara continues superb form for Sussex
Last updated on .From the section Counties
Cheteshwar Pujara's fourth century in as many matches put Sussex in a strong position in their County Championship match against Middlesex at Hove.
Middlesex had dominated the first half of the third day but then a third-wicket partnership of 138 at five an over between Pujara and Tom Alsop, whose run-scoring matched that of the Indian master before he was well caught at slip for 66, put Sussex on top and set up the possibility of a declaration and run chase on the final day.
Pujara pulled spinner Mark Stoneman for four to reach 99 and then cut the same bowler through backward-point for three to reach his hundred from 133 balls, with 13 fours and a six.
At the close Sussex were 236-3, a lead of 270, with Pujara 125 not out.
Earlier the most important Sussex player was Ollie Robinson, who completed a five-wicket return in his first match for four months.
Middlesex had resumed on 284-6, still 108 runs in arrears. But after just four overs, and with the new ball available, the players came off for bad light.
When they returned Martin Andersson edged Aaron Beard through the too-wide gap between first and second slips to reach a 92-ball half-century.
The opening session was almost 90 minutes old before Sussex broke through, with the last delivery of the 89th over, when Robinson had Andersson caught low down by Alsop at first slip. He and the impressive Luke Hollman had put on 99 for the seventh wicket.
The same combination of Robinson and Alsop soon accounted for Blake Cullen and at lunch Middlesex were 335-8.
Shaheen Shah Afridi clipped Mason Crane to square leg to bring up the 350 and win Middlesex a fourth batting point. But in the next over the same batsman drove Sean Hunt to mid-on but failed to beat Tom Haines' direct hit.
Hunt then removed Hollman's middle stump as the batsman heaved across the line.
Hollman's obdurate innings had brought him a first-class best of 82 and Middlesex, with their upside-down looking scorecard, had made 358 and trailed Sussex by just 34 runs. Robinson, who apart from in the first over bowled downhill from the Cromwell Road end for duration of the opening session, finished with figures of 5-66 in 24 overs.
When Sussex batted again, under dark clouds and bright floodlights, they lost both openers without scoring in the first seven balls.
Ali Orr was out second ball, caught behind off Afridi, who surprised the batsman with his pace and bounce. Then, with the first delivery of the next over, Ethan Bamber dismissed Haines, who was also caught by wicketkeeper John Simpson. And Sussex would have been 9-3 if Alsop had not been dropped at slip before scoring.
The contest between the prolific Pujara and Afridi was compelling. Pujara uppercut Afridi over third man for six. But then, after just three overs and with the score 15-2, the players came off for bad light. They were away for just over an hour, in which time they took tea, but with overs lost.
When they returned, Pujara and Tom Alsop, and then Tom Clark, reasserted Sussex's advantage, though with chunks of time lost to bad light a draw remains a strong possibility.
