He tweeted, “I have done my best for APC. Its time to move on. I will announce my new political party within the next 24 hours insha Allah. I will make a formal statement in due course. Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin.”
Recall Jubril had stated his position on a Southern presidency, in an interview with Arise, “I don’t think APC will try to toy around with that matter. I believe confidently that the Presidency is going to the Southern part and, when it goes there, Asiwaju stands out clearly in terms of experience, pedigree and competence and most importantly, the ability to win the election. His gap is quite huge more than anybody else”. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/breaking-ive-done-my-best-for-apc-tinubus-campaign-dg-dumps-ruling-party/ | 2022-05-07T19:07:28Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/breaking-ive-done-my-best-for-apc-tinubus-campaign-dg-dumps-ruling-party/ | false | 1 |

Nottingham Forest have been paired up against Sheffield United in the Championship play-offs after a 1-1 draw at Hull City.
The Blades and Luton Town join Huddersfield Town and Forest in the play-offs after a dramatic final day in the second tier of English football. United saw off league winners Fulham in stunning fashion at Bramall Lane with a 4-0 win, while Luton Town secured a 1-0 victory at Kenilworth Road against Reading.
It sets up an entertaining set of play-off fixtures over the next two weeks with only one of the four able to join Bournemouth and Fulham in the Premier League next season.

Bookies Betfred have priced Forest as the favourites at 7/4 while their semi-final opponents Sheffield United at 9/4. The bookies clearly tipping whoever will win that semi-final will go on to win promotion while Huddersfield are 11/4 and Luton priced at 9/2.

Chris Wilder’s side suffered their heaviest defeat of the season with a 4-1 loss at Preston North End with Paddy McNair sent off too while Millwall - who had an outside chance of the play-offs - lost 1-0 at Dean Court to Premier League-bound Bournemouth.
Huddersfield Town will be looking to return to the Premier League after they were relegated in the 2018/19 season as they travel to Luton in the first-leg of the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United will entertain Nottingham Forest who have been superb since Steve Cooper took over from Chris Hughton.

Brazil's Lula courts centrists at unofficial campaign launch
At the effective launch of his campaign on Saturday, Brazil's former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva aimed to lure centrists into his coalition to strengthen his bid to unseat incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro.
“We want to unite democrats of all origins and colors to face and beat the totalitarian threat, the hatred,” da Silva told thousands of supporters of his Workers' Party, members of unions and political allies who gathered in Sao Paulo.
“We want to come back so no one ever again dares to challenge our democracy and so fascism returns to the gutters of history, which it should never have left,” the former president added. “To end this crisis and grow, Brazil needs to be a normal country again.” The event was technically the launch of da Silva's pre-campaign, as the law doesn't permit people to formally declare themselves candidates before Aug. 5. The leftist leads all polls to return to the job he held from 2003 to 2010, but his sizeable advantage against the far-right Bolsonaro in the October election has been narrowing in recent weeks, according to some surveys. Bolsonaro has challenged Supreme Court justices and their decisions, sown doubt about the reliability of Brazil's electronic voting system and portrayed upcoming elections as a fight between good and evil. Analysts have expressed concern he is preparing to challenge election results.
The most concrete effort on Da Silva's part to make inroads with moderates so far was his selection of a rival, Geraldo Alckmin, as his running mate. Alckmin, a centre-right Catholic, appeared via video because he tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. The former Sao Paulo governor lost his 2006 and 2018 bids for the presidency, during which he fiercely criticized the Workers' Party administrations.
“No disagreement of the past, no difference with the president and not even the possible discords of today and tomorrow will allow me to excuse myself from supporting and defending with resolve that Lula should return to Brazil's presidency,” Alckmin said, adding that Bolsonaro's administration is “the most disastrous and cruel of the country's history.” “When President Lula gave me his hand, I saw more than a gesture of reconciliation between two historical opponents. I saw a call to reason,” he said.
Alckmin has been compared to former Vice President José Alencar, who died in 2011 and was instrumental for da Silva's campaign to pivot to the centre and win in 2002.
Members of other moderate political parties not aligned with da Silva also attended, including Sen. Otto Alencar and Sen. Veneziano Vital do Rego.
“We need to broaden this coalition and that's what today is for, too,” Alencar told reporters. His party is unlikely to field a presidential candidate this year. “If we can't bring centrist parties to Lula in the first voting round, let them come in the second. We need to have our arms open for every democrat.” Da Silva's effort to woo moderates runs in line with what many analysts say he must do in order to ensure victory. Political analyst Bruno Carazza told The Associated Press that polling data shows him consolidating support among leftist voters, but having less success connecting with people elsewhere on the spectrum.
For example, da Silva said on April 5 that he sees the legalisation of abortion as a public health issue and defended abortion rights. His comments spurred instant backlash from critics who said he risked unsettling moderates he should be prioritising.
The next day, da Silva partially walked back his statement, saying in a radio interview he is personally against abortions, but believes they should be legal.
Political scientist Antonio Lavareda told the AP that he sees little room for da Silva's support to grow, given that he is already Brazil's best-known politician.
Likewise, polls already reflect the feelings of voters who won't for him under any circumstance, particularly as a result of his arrest and conviction for corruption and money laundering that sidelined him from the 2018 race. Those convictions have since been annulled, because the judge presiding over the cases was deemed to be biased.
Many of da Silva's supporters seemed less than excited about his nods to moderates and the right-leaning politician joining him on the ticket.
“I don't think we can trust people who were against us until very recently,” said Eleonora Santos, a 47-year-old bank teller, wearing a shirt featuring da Silva's face during his first presidential campaign in 1989. When posing for pictures in front of a giant poster of Da Silva and Alckmin, she stood in front of Alckmin's image so as to prevent him from appearing next to her candidate.
“I understand Bolsonaro gives us different challenges and we need to have more support. I just don't think this guy gives us anything,” she said. “His voters will never be Lula voters.” Most of da Silva's comments in recent weeks have touted the achievements of his two-term presidency, including lifting tens of millions of people from poverty. He did the same Saturday', saying his administration put an end to hunger in Brazil, only to have Bolsonaro bring it back. In a recent interview with Time magazine, he said he wouldn't discuss economic policy until after winning the election -- despite the fact many Brazilians, struggling to make ends meet amid double-digit inflation and high unemployment, are eager to hear how candidates intend to come to their aid.
“It is clear that he will capitalise on data from his administrations, but Brazil has changed a lot, new demands have arisen,” Carraza said. “The economic situation is much more challenging and much more difficult after the pandemic and with the war in Ukraine. It's a very different context than the one 20 years ago.” For now, though, da Silva's focus appears to be casting himself as a protector of democracy amid a threat of authoritarianism. Wellington Dias, one of the coordinators of da Silva's campaign, told reporters da Silva will continue to win moderate votes.
“He will increasingly show democrats that their choice is important, that they can accept there are differences, but democracy should be above all,” Dias said.

Weather conditions described as potentially historic were on tap for New Mexico on Saturday and for the next several days as over 1,400 firefighters and a fleet of airplanes and helicopters worked feverishly to bolster lines around the largest fire burning in the U.S.
Many families already have been left homeless and thousands of residents have evacuated due to flames that have charred large swaths of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northeastern New Mexico.
Residents on the fringes of the shifting fire front were holding out hope that all the work done over recent days to clear brush, install sprinklers, run hose lines and use bulldozers to scrape lines will keep the fire from reaching the small city of Las Vegas and other villages to the north and south.
“There’s uncertainty and there’s fear about how the winds are going to affect the fire from day to day,” said Elmo Baca, chairman of the Las Vegas Community Foundation. “Once the people are evacuated out of an area, they can’t go back, so they’re just stuck worrying.”
Las Vegas was like a ghost town earlier in the week, with restaurants and grocery stores closed, schools closed or pivoting to remote-only options, and the tourist district empty but for resting firefighters.
By Saturday, after the days of work to protect the city of 13,000, some businesses had reopened as residents remained apprehensive while trying to return to something resembling regular life.
At a park next to the library, four dog owners took a dog obedience class under a full gray sky. They included one whose daughter had persistent headaches from wildfire smoke and another whose husband was a construction worker whose work sites had all turned to ash.
“It’s literally like living under a dark cloud. It’s unnerving,” said Liz Birmingham, 66.
The recent work by fire crews to protect Las Vegas was “looking really good" but continued Saturday, said Todd Abel, a fire operations official. “We want to make sure this is all going to hold."
The blaze, now a month old, has blackened more than 267 square miles (691 square kilometers) — an area larger than the city of Chicago.
The April 6 start of the conflagration has been traced in part to a preventive fire initiated by the U.S. Forest Service to reduce flammable vegetation. The blaze escaped control, merging with another wildfire of unknown origin.
Nationwide, close to 2,000 square miles (5,180 square kilometers) have burned so far this year, with 2018 being the last time this much fire had been reported across the country, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. And predictions for the rest of the spring do not bode well for the West, where long-term drought and warmer temperatures brought on by climate change have combined to worsen the threat of wildfire.
Forested areas in southern New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado also saw an early start with blazes forcing evacuations and destroying homes last month.
Incident Commander Dave Bales said firefighters working in northeastern New Mexico have been focused on protecting homes and other structures that hold generations of sacred memories.
“It's hard when I see so many people displaced,” he said, noting that many hugs have been shared around town.
The crews have seen extreme wind events before that usually last a day, maybe two. But Bales said this event could last five or more days with gusts topping 50 to 60 mph (80 to 96 kph). He also warned that flames could be carried up to a mile away.
“This is an extreme wind event that is unprecedented,” Bales said.
Another large wildfire burning in New Mexico was within 5 miles (8 kilometers) of Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the nation's key facilities for nuclear research and future production of plutonium components for nuclear weapons.
Crews have burned vegetation ahead of the fire in an effort to reduce its intensity and the potential for spot fires. At the lab, water tankers, a helicopter and heavy equipment are in position and firefighters will patrol the perimeter if flames gets closer.
Some nuclear watchdog groups and environmentalists have raised concerns about containers of nuclear waste on lab property. That includes six shipments of 109 containers awaiting transport to the federal government's underground waste repository, state officials said.
Lab officials said Friday that radiological and other potentially hazardous materials are stored in containers engineered and tested to withstand extreme environments, including heat from fire.

HAVANA (AP) — Relatives of the missing in Cuba’s capital desperately searched Saturday for victims of an explosion at one of Havana’s most luxurious hotels that killed at least 26 people. They checked the morgue, hospitals, and if unsuccessful, they returned to the partially collapsed Hotel Saratoga, where rescuers used dogs to hunt for survivors.
A natural gas leak was the apparent cause of Friday’s blast at the 96-room hotel. The 19th-century structure in the Old Havana neighborhood did not have any guests at the time because it was undergoing renovations ahead of a planned Tuesday reopening after being closed.
Havana city officials raised the death toll to 26 on Saturday, according to the official Cubadebate news site. The dead included four children and a pregnant woman. Spain’s President Pedro Sánchez said via Twitter that a Spanish tourist was among the dead and that another Spaniard was seriously injured. Cuban authorities had not provided details on the tourist’s death.
Search and rescue teams worked through the night and into Saturday, using ladders to descend through the rubble and twisted metal into the hotel’s basement as heavy machinery gingerly moved away piles of the building’s façade to allow access. Above, chunks of drywall dangled from wires, desks sat seemingly undisturbed inches from the void where the front of the building cleaved away.
Rescuers declined to answer questions because the authorities had ordered them to avoid confusion.
At least one survivor was found early Saturday in the shattered ruins, and rescuers using search dogs clambered over huge chunks of concrete looking for more. Relatives of missing people remained at the site while others gathered at hospitals where the injured were being treated.
A desperate Yatmara Cobas stood outside the perimeter waiting for word of her daughter, 27-year-old housekeeper Shaidis Cobas.
“My daughter is in the Saratoga; she’s been there since 8 a.m. (Friday), and at this time I don’t know anything about her,” Cobas said. “She’s not at the morgue, she’s not in the hospital.” The mother said she had gone everywhere seeking answers from authorities, but coming up empty.
“I’m tired of the lies,” she said.
Lt. Col. Enrique Peña briefed Comandante Ramiro Valdés, who fought alongside Fidel Castro, on the search efforts at the site Saturday morning.
Peña said the presence of people had been detected on the first floor and in the basement and four teams of search dogs and handlers were working. He did not know if the victims were alive or dead.
“I don’t want to move from here,” Cristina Avellar told The Associated Press near the hotel.
Avellar was waiting for news of Odalys Barrera, a 57-year-old cashier who has worked at the hotel for five years. She is the godmother of Barrera’s daughters and considers her like a sister.
Neighbors were still in shock a day after the explosion.
“I thought it was a bomb,” said Guillermo Madan, a 73-year-old retiree, who lives just meters from the building, but was not injured. The three-decade resident of the neighborhood was cooking and watching television when he heard the blast. “My room moved from here to there. My neighbor’s window broke, the plates, everything.”
Katerine Marrero, 31, was shopping at the time. “I left the store, I felt the explosion,” she said. “Everyone started to run.”
The explosion is another blow to the country’s crucial tourism industry.
Even before the coronavirus pandemic kept tourists away from Cuba, the country was struggling with tightened sanctions imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump and kept in place by the Biden administration. Those limited visits by U.S. tourists to the islands and restricted remittances from Cubans in the U.S. to their families in Cuba.
Tourism had started to revive somewhat early this year, but the war in Ukraine deflated a boom of Russian visitors, who accounted for almost a third of the tourists arriving in Cuba last year.
Dr. Julio Guerra Izquierdo, chief of hospital services at the Ministry of Health, said at least 74 people had been injured. Among them were 14 children, according to a tweet from the office of President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
A 300-student school next to the hotel was evacuated. Havana Gov. Reinaldo García Zapata said five of the students suffered minor injuries.
The emblematic hotel had a stunning view of Cuba’s center, including the domed Capitol building about 110 yards (100 meters) away. The Capitol suffered broken glass and damaged masonry from the explosion.
The hotel was renovated in 2005 as part of the Cuban government’s revival of Old Havana and is owned by the Cuban military’s tourism business arm, Grupo de Turismo Gaviota SA. The company said it was investigating the cause of the blast and did not respond to an email from the AP seeking more details about the hotel and the renovation it was undergoing.
In the past, the Hotel Saratoga has been used by visiting VIPs and political figures, including high-ranking U.S. government delegations. Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed there in 2013.
García Zapata said structures adjacent to the hotel were being evaluated, including two badly damaged apartment buildings. Díaz-Canel said families in affected buildings had been transferred to safer locations.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was scheduled to arrive in Havana for a visit late Saturday and Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said the visit would still take place. | https://www.fox21news.com/top-stories/cuba-hotel-blast-leaves-at-least-26-dead-rescuers-search-for-survivors/ | 2022-05-07T19:26:35Z | https://www.fox21news.com/top-stories/cuba-hotel-blast-leaves-at-least-26-dead-rescuers-search-for-survivors/ | false | 31 |

This story is part of the My Unsung Hero series from the Hidden Brain team about people whose kindness left a lasting impression on someone else.
One of the most significant people in Sunita Kramer's life is a stranger whom she has never met. She doesn't know their name or what they look like.
She encountered them the same day she almost lost her 7-year-old daughter.
It was a summer day in New Jersey, and the pair was planning to take a train to an art camp at Rutgers University, where Kramer works. She had to drag her daughter through the throng of people to get to their train.
"And I think I was anxious," she remembered. "I was wanting not to miss the train and be late."
The train pulled up, and it was time to board.
"And instead of patiently letting her get on the train first, I stepped on the train first and pulled her behind me," Kramer said.
In her rush, she had forgotten just how wide the gap between the train and the platform could be. In her haste, she didn't notice that her daughter had tripped and slipped into the gap.
"It's something that I have a lot of difficulty talking about, because my whole life flashed in front of my eyes," Kramer said.
Just as the train doors were closing, a stranger on the platform grabbed her daughter's hand and pulled her out of the gap directly on top of Kramer, knocking them both over and into the carriage.
"My daughter's shins were all scraped up and we were just lying there," Kramer remembered. "And I had no time to thank this stranger that saved my daughter's life."
"I think the hardest part was just lying there and knowing that no one on the train understood what happened to us, how close I was to losing her. And we had to just pick ourselves up and find a seat."
She found some tissues in her bag and cleaned up her daughter's legs. When they arrived at their stop they walked to the art camp where they found some bandages for the scraped-up shins.
"And then I went into my office, which was a few blocks away, and closed the door and just cried," Kramer said. "I was traumatized, but what I think about now is just who that stranger was and how they were able to react so quickly and how I wish I could thank them or even see what they looked like."
The next day, Kramer and her daughter got back on the train.
"Because I didn't want to be afraid," she said.
As they walked toward the train, Kramer searched the crowd, wondering if the stranger who saved her daughter's life was there, if they remembered her or even knew who she was.
"I wanted to be able to thank them because this unsung hero of mine changed my life," she said.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Olympic silver medalist Fred Kerley was beaten into second place by Kenyan home favorite Ferdinand Omanyala in the 100 meters at the Kip Keino Classic on Saturday.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won the women’s 100 in a world-leading time of 10.67 seconds to underline the 35-year-old Jamaican is not done yet and a contender for yet another gold at the world championships in Eugene in July.
Fraser-Pryce won easily as Namibian teenager Christine Mboma, the Olympic 200 meters silver medalist, pulled up with injury around the 50-meter mark and then fell.
The United States’ Kerley was the clear favorite after Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs of Italy was a late withdrawal from the race because of illness.
Jacobs was expected to compete in his first 100 since his surprise run from unknown to Olympic champion at the Tokyo Games last year. But he was hospitalized in Kenya this week with suspected food poisoning, meet spokesman Elias Makori said. The Italian athletics federation said Jacobs was admitted to the hospital’s emergency room and remained there for “observation” with a gastrointestinal illness.
Without him, Omanyala’s strong start carried him home to win in 9.85 seconds and just ahead of Kerley in 9.92. Another American, Isiah Young, was third in 10.13. The race had to be restarted because of what officials said was a technical glitch that caused a false start first time round.
“The false start really affected us but I’m happy with my opening time for the season and I will build on it from here,” Kerley said.
Italy’s Filippo Tortu was seventh in 10.24 seconds. Tortu ran the anchor leg when Italy pulled off a second sprint stunner to win the 4×100 relay in Tokyo.
Omanyala’s victory saw Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta jump out of his seat to applaud at the Moi International Sports Centre. Kenyatta also summoned Fraser-Pryce to the VIP enclosure to congratulate her after a blisteringly fast run in her first 100 of the year. Egypt’s Bassant Hemida was second and the U.S.’ Shannon Ray third behind Fraser-Pryce.
Olympic champion Wojciech Nowicki of Poland won the men’s hammer at the Continental Tour Gold meet with a throw of 81.43 meters. Fellow Pole and three-time reigning Olympic champion Anita Wlodarczyk won the women’s hammer with 78.06.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
Harvard says it will make amends for what it calls its extensive ties to slavery from its founding in 1636 to after the Civil War. Harvard is the world's wealthiest private university, and it has now committed $100 million to redress that history. Max Larkin from member station WBUR reports.
MAX LARKIN, BYLINE: A 130-page faculty report identifies dozens of enslaved people who served Harvard's presidents, faculty and staff. and the university's endowment - now over $40 billion - was seeded with the wealth of slaveholders. Harvard's president, Lawrence Bacow, announced the plan in a video message published this morning.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
LAWRENCE BACOW: The legacy of slavery continues to influence the world in the form of disparities in education, health, wealth, income, social mobility and almost any other metric we might use to measure equality.
LARKIN: Bacow says it's Harvard's moral obligation to work toward repair. The university's governing board has set aside $100 million in that effort. Some may be spent on new partnerships with historically Black colleges or on memorials or on projects involving descendants of slavery.
Freshman Christian Gines says Harvard feels haunted by its history to him and his Black classmates. Gines says he worries that Harvard's commitment here, however large, will pale in comparison to the earnings on its big endowment, which includes investments in private prisons and foreign real estate.
CHRISTIAN GINES: There are still Black and brown people locked up today. They invest in a lot of Black and Indigenous land in America and throughout the world, whether that be in Brazil and Africa and in other places. And so there are structural things, not only in the past that they've done, but in the status quo that they're continuing to do, that they could easily disinvest and reinvest that in other places.
LARKIN: The university has formed a committee that will make concrete decisions on the use of the funds.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin officials have issued wildfire warnings across the state for Saturday.
The state Department of Natural Resources has listed 52 counties in the “very high risk” category for fires, mostly in the northern part of the state. Eight counties are listed as “high risk" and all other counties are at “moderate risk.”
Authorities say high winds, dry conditions and low humidity will make it easier for fire to spread. Officials are asking people to avoid all outdoor burning, including campfires, and to use caution when operating off-road vehicles.
More than 250 wildfires have been reported in Wisconsin this year, covering about 440 acres. Debris burning is the leading cause of wildfires, officials said. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Wisconsin-officials-issue-wildfire-warnings-17156579.php | 2022-05-07T19:56:12Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Wisconsin-officials-issue-wildfire-warnings-17156579.php | true | null |

Sinn Fein calls for united Ireland debate after historic election win
By Amanda Ferguson
Belfast: Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the IRA, hailed its first election win in Northern Ireland’s history as a “defining moment” for the British-controlled region and called for a debate on the creation of a united Ireland.
Sinn Fein secured 29 per cent of first-preference votes for the regional parliament, way ahead of pro-British Democratic Unionist Party’s 21.3 per cent, official results showed. While the final seat count has not been declared, analysts said no one could catch Sinn Fein.
“Today represents a very significant moment of change. It’s a defining moment in our politics and for our people,” the head of Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland, Michelle O’Neill, said after securing re-election.
She said there should now be an “honest debate” around the party’s goal of unifying the territory with the Republic of Ireland.
The Sinn Fein victory will not change the region’s status, as the referendum required to leave the United Kingdom is at the discretion of the British government and likely years away.
But the symbolic importance is huge, ending a century of domination by pro-British parties, supported predominantly by the region’s Protestant population.
Asked by a journalist if she expected to become the region’s first Irish nationalist First Minister, O’Neill said: “The people have spoken.”
While the largest party has the right to put forward a candidate for First Minister of the region’s compulsory power-sharing government, disagreements with the DUP mean such an appointment could be months away.
DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson said it would not join the government unless the protocol governing Northern Ireland’s trade with the rest of the UK following its exit from the European Union was totally overhauled.
The DUP was heavily criticised during the campaign for its handling of Brexit. The scrapping of what it calls an effective trade border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom was a key election promise.
Sinn Fein was long shunned by the political establishment on both sides of the Irish border for its links to paramilitary violence during three decades of fighting over Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom that ended with a 1998 peace deal.
Since then it has reinvented itself to become the most popular party in the Republic of Ireland, where it has carved out a successful base by campaigning on everyday issues such as the cost of living and healthcare.
It followed a similar path in the Northern Irish elections, where it focused on economic concerns rather than Irish unity to appeal to middle-ground voters.
The election follows demographic trends that have long indicated that pro-British Protestant parties would eventually be eclipsed by predominantly Catholic Irish nationalist parties who favour uniting the north with the Republic of Ireland.
All unionist candidates combined secured slightly more votes than all nationalists in Thursday’s election.
The cross-community Alliance Party scored its strongest ever result as it bids to establish itself as a third pillar of the political system.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin officials have issued wildfire warnings across the state for Saturday.
The state Department of Natural Resources has listed 52 counties in the “very high risk” category for fires, mostly in the northern part of the state. Eight counties are listed as “high risk" and all other counties are at “moderate risk.”
Authorities say high winds, dry conditions and low humidity will make it easier for fire to spread. Officials are asking people to avoid all outdoor burning, including campfires, and to use caution when operating off-road vehicles.
More than 250 wildfires have been reported in Wisconsin this year, covering about 440 acres. Debris burning is the leading cause of wildfires, officials said. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Wisconsin-officials-issue-wildfire-warnings-17156579.php | 2022-05-07T20:19:21Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Wisconsin-officials-issue-wildfire-warnings-17156579.php | true | null |

Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers on Saturday ordered all Afghan women to wear head-to-toe clothing in public, a hardline move that confirmed the worst fears of rights activists and was bound to further complicate Taliban dealings with an already distrustful international community.
The decree says that women should leave the home only when necessary, and that male relatives would face punishment, starting with a summons and escalating to court hearings and prison, for women’s dress code violations.
It was the latest in a series of repressive edicts issued by the Taliban leadership, not all of which have been implemented.
Last month the Taliban forbade women from traveling alone, but after a day of opposition, that has since been silently ignored.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said it was deeply concerned with what appeared to be a formal directive that would be implemented and enforced, adding that it would seek clarifications from the Taliban about the decision.
“This decision contradicts numerous assurances regarding respect for and protection of all Afghans’ human rights, including those of women and girls, that had been provided to the international community by Taliban representatives during discussions and negotiations over the past decade,” it said in a statement.
The decree, which calls for women to only show their eyes and recommends they wear the head-to-toe burka, 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 six (around 11 years old), reneging on an earlier promise and opting to appease their hardline base at the expense of further alienating the international community.
But this decree does not have widespread support among a leadership that is divided between pragmatists and 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 burka) 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. “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 US-led coalition for harbouring al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and returned to power after the US’s chaotic departure last year.
The White House National Security Council condemned the Taliban’s decree and urged them to immediately reverse it.
“We are discussing this with other countries and partners. The legitimacy and support that the Taliban seeks from the international community depend entirely on their conduct, specifically their ability to back stated commitments with actions,” it said in a statement.
Since taking power last August, the Taliban leadership has been squabbling among themselves as they struggle to transition from war to governing.
A spokeswoman from Pangea, an Italian non-governmental organisation that has assisted women for years in Afghanistan, said the new decree would be particularly difficult for them to swallow since they had lived in relative freedom until the Taliban takeover.
“In the last 20 years, they have had the awareness of human rights, and in the span of a few months have lost them,” Silvia Redigolo said. “It’s dramatic to (now) have a life that doesn’t exist,’’ she said.
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 six 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.expressandstar.com/news/world-news/2022/05/07/taliban-orders-women-in-afghanistan-to-wear-burka-in-public/ | 2022-05-07T20:26:36Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/world-news/2022/05/07/taliban-orders-women-in-afghanistan-to-wear-burka-in-public/ | true | 15 |
Gov. Tony Evers was in DeForest Monday as he was endorsed by the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council while attending a tour of their Apprenticeship & Training Center.
Gov. Tony Evers was in DeForest Monday as he was endorsed by the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council while attending a tour of their Apprenticeship & Training Center.
Governor Tony Evers was endorsed by the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council while attending a tour of their Apprenticeship & Training Center.
Evers toured the DeForest training facility on Monday afternoon, May 2, before a press conference announcing the support.
“Governor Evers ran in 2018 on a platform to invest in education, make health care more affordable, and to fix the damn roads. And unlike many politicians, Governor Evers did what he said he was going to do,” said John Schmitt, President/Business Manager of the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council.
“During his first term, Governor Evers made historic investments in our state’s infrastructure, including new revenue to the transportation budget to pay for road and bridge projects, as well as investments in the state’s capital budget for state building projects," Schmitt said. "This has put many hard-working Laborers to work and is a down payment for creating future jobs with good wages and benefits.”
“Governor Evers also got tax relief for our members by getting the bipartisan middle class tax cut passed. This will put more money on to the paychecks for the hard-working men and women of the Wisconsin Laborers,” concluded Schmitt.
“Rather than focusing on what divides us, I’m focused on doing the right thing for our state by creating more opportunities for folks to succeed which includes supporting workers — and it’s why I’m proud to have the endorsement of the Wisconsin Laborers,” said Evers. “Wisconsin is at its best when we connect the dots. Whether it’s supporting job training programs, strong public education systems, quality healthcare, good infrastructure, or high-speed internet, we need all of these pieces to move our state in the right direction.”
The Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council is an affiliation of five Laborer local unions, representing nearly 9,000 construction craft laborers throughout Wisconsin. The Laborers are the most diverse trade in the construction industry servicing employers in transportation infrastructure, building, sewer and water, utility distribution, demolition, asbestos removal, and related sectors. | https://www.hngnews.com/sun_prairie_star/news/government/article_4db0c052-cbe4-11ec-8889-0b05b2ac7414.html | 2022-05-07T20:30:41Z | https://www.hngnews.com/sun_prairie_star/news/government/article_4db0c052-cbe4-11ec-8889-0b05b2ac7414.html | true | 2 |

Mother's Day special: Sandalwood actor Dhanya Ramkumar talks about her relationship with her mother Poornima Ramkumar
Her biggest supporter and strongest critic...actor Dhanya Ramkumar bares it all about her relationship with her mother, Poornima Ramkumar, who is the daughter of late actor Dr Rajkumar
Can’t live with each other, can’t live without each other— this pretty much sums up actor Dhanya Ramkumar’s relationship with her mother Poornima, daughter of late actor Dr Rajkumar. However, Dhanya immediately clarifies the present situation... “Now, it’s more of ‘I can’t live without her’,” Dhanya says, while Poornima smiles on. Calling herself a rebel during her teens, Dhanya (25), recalls several heated arguments with Poornima (53) just like any other mother- daughter duo.
“During my teenage years, Mom and I used to fight quite a bit... There were always disagreements. She has gone through a lot and obviously, didn’t want me to make the same mistakes. Little did I understand that during that time. I used to rebel and that troubled her. Now, when I look back, I feel bad,” recalls Dhanya, adding that she was glad that her mother always looked out for her. Now, if they don’t put an issue to rest by bedtime, Dhanya finds it unsettling.
“I have also grown up and we have reached a balanced space,” she says. Coming from a family, considered the first family of Sandalwood, Poornima — who never entered the movie industry — knew the repercussions of limelight. “I, honestly, didn’t have too much of a plan to enter the film industry and neither did my mum push me. But when I decided to, she was prepared for the route I chose,” says Dhanya, whose upcoming movie is Kaala Patthar, in which her character’s name is Ganga.
Although she decided to give acting a shot, considering it runs in her genes, her father, actor-producer Ramkumar, was initially against it. But her mother’s support was rock solid, which she is ever-grateful for. Biggest cheerleader and toughest critic. Poornima plays this role in Dhanya’s life. “Since she completed her Class 10, she has been very independent. It makes me very proud. Despite a hectic schedule, she makes time for family, which feels great,” says Poornima, as Dhanya gets emotional. | https://www.indulgexpress.com/entertainment/celebs/2022/may/07/mothers-day-special-sandalwood-actor-dhanya-ramkumar-talks-about-her-relationship-with-her-mother-40723.html | 2022-05-07T20:45:00Z | https://www.indulgexpress.com/entertainment/celebs/2022/may/07/mothers-day-special-sandalwood-actor-dhanya-ramkumar-talks-about-her-relationship-with-her-mother-40723.html | false | 2 |

RICHMOND, Va. - Attorney General Jason Miyares issued a statement after threats of protestors disrupting Catholic masses this Sunday were reported.
This statement comes after a draft opinion leaked Monday night suggests the U.S. Supreme Court could possibly overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case that legalized abortion nationwide.
The opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, says that Roe must be overruled and it's time to "return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
AG Miyares states that despite him respecting the First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly, no one should interfere with Virginians being able to practice their religion in peace.
"Federal law authorizes states to bring civil suits to protect their citizens’ free exercise of religion. If protest activities directed at houses of worship cross the line to illegal obstruction, intimidation, or interference, I will not hesitate to bring suit to protect the religious freedom of the citizens of this Commonwealth," he states.
Attorney General Jason Miyares' full statement:
“Some on the extreme left have responded to this week’s reprehensible leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion by calling for pro-abortion protests inside and outside of Catholic parishes this Sunday.
"I deeply respect the First Amendment rights of speech and assembly. But no one has the right to interfere with the fundamental and natural right of all Virginians to practice their religion in peace.
"Virginia’s long tradition of protecting religious liberty dates back to the founding of our Commonwealth, when Thomas Jefferson penned the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom that is now enshrined in our Commonwealth’s Constitution.
"As Attorney General, I am charged with protecting this sacred right for all Virginians.
"Federal law makes it a felony to intimidate, interfere with, or obstruct any person who is seeking to exercise his or her First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship. Similarly, Virginia criminal law prohibits obstructing the free movement of other persons, trespassing on church property, or obstructing proper ingress to and egress from a church. My office will be monitoring protest activities directed at houses of worship and will refer alleged criminal violations to the United States Department of Justice or to the appropriate Commonwealth’s Attorney.
"Furthermore, federal law authorizes states to bring civil suits to protect their citizens’ free exercise of religion. If protest activities directed at houses of worship cross the line to illegal obstruction, intimidation, or interference, I will not hesitate to bring suit to protect the religious freedom of the citizens of this Commonwealth.” | https://www.wtkr.com/news/ag-miyares-addresses-threats-made-to-catholic-masses-by-abortion-rights-protestors | 2022-05-07T20:52:15Z | https://www.wtkr.com/news/ag-miyares-addresses-threats-made-to-catholic-masses-by-abortion-rights-protestors | false | 1 |

Iowa football recruiting: Monticello's Preston Ries adds to Hawkeyes' growing 2024 class
The Iowa football program continues to clean up on its in-state recruiting targets in the Class of 2024, adding a fourth member to the fold Saturday morning.
Monticello athlete Preston Ries is the latest Iowa high school sophomore to verbally accept a scholarship from the Hawkeyes. Ries announced his decision Saturday morning on social media.
Ries is listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds and is considered a three-star prospect by 247 Sports. He also held scholarship offers from Iowa State and Nebraska.
Iowa had previously sewn up verbal commitments from three in-state products:
- Interior offensive lineman Cody Fox (6-4, 265), a four-star prospect from East Buchanan High School in Winthrop.
- Linebacker Cam Buffington (6-3, 200), a three-star prospect from Winfield-Mount Union.
- And Derek Weisskopf (6-3, 200), a three-star athlete from Williamsburg.
It's clear the Hawkeyes are content to load up on rangy athletes. Ries certainly fits that fold and likely will slot at linebacker under position coach Seth Wallace.
By comparison, Iowa State has yet to secure an in-state prospect in the Class of 2024.
The Hawkeyes' Class of 2023, of course, will be more in the spotlight in the coming months. They have seven commitments in that group thus far, including three from the state of Iowa in Marion athlete Alex Mota, Iowa City High linebacker Ben Kueter and Norwalk defensive lineman Maddux Borcherding-Johnson.
Of course, the biggest in-state Class of 2023 prize remains Southeast Polk offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, who is the nation's No. 7 overall prospect and is undecided but has Iowa in his final seven. | https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2022/05/07/preston-ries-monticello-athlete-adds-iowa-football-2024-recruiting-class/9687799002/ | 2022-05-07T21:02:09Z | https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2022/05/07/preston-ries-monticello-athlete-adds-iowa-football-2024-recruiting-class/9687799002/ | false | 1 |

"And He said, 'So is the Kingdom of God as if a man should cast seed into the ground, and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself: first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.'" Mark 4:26-29
This parable of Jesus compares the kingdom of God to a man who sows his seed and waits until the seed, of itself, springs up and grows, maturing until the harvest. Then the farmer puts in the sickle for the harvest. The farmer can only sow good seed, cultivate the crops, and wait for the fruit to mature. He himself cannot make the seed grow and produce fruit.
The kingdom of God is like that in that all we as Christians can do is sow the pure Word of God (not seeds of false doctrine). We cannot make the seed of God's Word grow or produce fruit. The power to create spiritual life and produce fruit lies in God and His Word and not in us as the sowers. It is our task to sow the Word of God but the results must be left up to the Holy Spirit, who brings people to saving faith in Jesus Christ and also sanctifies them through God's Word.
We cannot see how faith is created in the heart, nor should we expect to harvest immediately after the seed is sown. Our Lord has given us the simple task of sowing the good seed of God's Word and the rest is up to Him! He causes the Word to take root and grow in His own way and in His own time.
By means of God's Law, the Holy Spirit convicts people of their sins and shows them their guilt and condemnation before the Almighty God. By means of the Gospel, He comforts them with the assurance that atonement has been made for their sins -- and the sins of all -- through Jesus Christ's holy life and innocent sufferings and death in their stead and that forgiveness and everlasting life are theirs when they repent of their sinful ways and look in faith to Christ Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross.
If we only sow the Word, we need not worry about the results. They remain in God's hands, and He has promised that His Word will not return unto Him void.
God Himself says, "For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: It shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (cf. Isaiah 55:10-11).
Let us then sow the Word and await the harvest!
"On what has now been sown Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; the pow'r is Thine alone to make it spring and grow. Do Thou in grace the harvest raise, and Thou alone shalt have the praise. Amen." (On What Has Now Been Sown, John Newton, 1779)

Coachella Valley news roundup: Headlines from the week of May 1
County has 1,900 criminal cases awaiting trial, while down 30 judges
The Riverside County Superior Court has more than 1,900 criminal cases awaiting trial — a backlog that authorities blame on COVID-19-related shutdowns and a shortage of judges.
Before the pandemic closed courtrooms in March 2020, the county had a backlog in the “low hundreds,”said Riverside County Superior Court spokesperson Marita Ford. The backup now is about 10 times as large as before the pandemic.
The extensive logjam means some suspects are being detained for months or even years before their case is heard — jeopardizing their Sixth Amendment rights to a speedy trial. It also means that crime victims are facing extensive waits for justice to be served.
The Desert Sun previously calculated that the court system initiated about 50 jury trials per month over the last decade. At that rate, it would take about three years for the current cases to reach a courtroom.
Ford said the exact number of cases awaiting trial is difficult to report because it’s constantly changing with new cases being filed and old ones resolved on a daily basis — either because a trial concludes, charges are dropped or a defendant agrees to a plea deal.

Newsom, Democrats vow to protect abortion in Calif. constitution
California voters could get a chance to add abortion protections to the state’s constitution this fall.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and top legislative leaders committed Monday to put an amendment on the November ballot that would “enshrine the right to choose” in California.
Their comments came hours after Politico published a draft opinion from the court that revealed a majority of the nine justices want to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that stopped state governments from banning abortion.
If the court overturns Roe v. Wade, at least 26 states are likely to either further restrict abortion access or ban it outright, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights advocacy group.
California won’t be one of them. Instead, Newsom has pledged to make California a sanctuary for people to come and get abortions. State legislative leaders have endorsed 13 bills to do so, including proposals that would potentially use taxpayer money to pay for people from other states to come to California for abortions.
Abortion rights supporters rallied Tuesday in Palm Springs.

Groups purchase Palm Hills for $7M
Three conservation groups have paid roughly $7 million to purchase about 3,500 acres of desert land above East Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs often called Palm Hills or the Goat Trails.
The land, located behind the Rimrock Plaza shopping center anchored by Vons, includes a range of popular hiking trails such as the Clara Burgess Trail and Jane’s Hoffbrau Oasis Trail. The Coachella Valley Mountain Conservancy and the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission financed the purchase, which was negotiated by the Oswit Land Trust.
“It was a very challenging, long process,” said Jane Garrison, founder and executive director of the Oswit Land Trust. “It was really 30 years in the making and the last two years was just running it across the finish line.”
Garrison said conservation groups had been eyeing the land for decades, but momentum had accelerated following a 2005 referendum that saw Palm Springs voters overturn a city council-approved golf course and residential development on the land.

La Quinta residents opposed to surf resort file complaint after key votes
A group of residents who oppose a proposed surf resort in La Quinta have called for the removal of a planning commissioner they say acted inappropriately and disrespectfully during the April 26 meeting regarding the Coral Mountain Resort.
The complaint was filed with the City Council on Tuesday by Alena Callimanis, a representative of the citizens group La Quinta Residents for Responsible Development, also known as LQRRD, which has repeatedly voiced opposition to the Coral Mountain Resort.
The complaint is against Commissioner Kevin McCune, who voted in favor of the 386-acre project that is planned at the southwest corner of Avenue 58 and Madison Street. It alleges that McCune used inflammatory rhetoric, made derogatory comments and was disrespectful of opponents’ opinions.
The city attorney, however, disagrees with the complaint, saying that he was at the meeting and believes McCune acted in a professional manner.
On April 26, commissioners moved the project to the City Council with recommendation for approval in two votes.
Iconic Kaufmann House sells for record $13.06M
The Kaufmann Desert House, made famous in the iconic 1970 Slim Aarons photograph “Poolside Gossip” shot by its pool, has sold off-market for $13.06 million, according to its listing agent. It was originally listed for sale for $25 million in late 2020.
The sale price narrowly beats out the Bob Hope estate, which set the prior record for the most expensive home sold in Palm Springs in 2016 when investor Ron Burkle bought it for $13 million. Despite the massive price tag, it falls short of the Coachella Valley-wide record set earlier this year by a Bighorn estate, which sold for $42 million in January after listing for $50 million last year.
Property records do not yet reflect the sale, although that is common for very recent transactions.
Listing agent Gerard Bisignano of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty said “the history, the pedigree (and) the architect” of the property all drove its sky-high selling price.
Designed by modernist architect Richard Neutra and built in 1946 for Pittsburgh department store magnate Edgar Kaufmann, the roughly 3,200 square-foot, five-bedroom house has had a small number of owners over the past 75 years. Brent R. Harris, a longtime executive at Newport Beach-based investment manager PIMCO, undertook a yearslong series of multimillion-dollar renovations after he acquired the property in the early 1990s.

Palm Springs mulls how to spend money on infrastructure
A library renovation, a fire station and pickleball courts are three new projects Palm Springs is considering funding in the next fiscal year.
Those projects, however, are being considered alongside dozens of others – including some that are much farther along and which have already landed substantial city commitment for a line item in the annual budget. That budget must be in place by July.
City Manager Justin Clifton said in April that the city’s general fund is flush with cash because revenues from various taxes had recovered much quicker than expected after the pandemic.
Clifton said that while the infrastructure fund isn’t quite as flush, it still has more money than anticipated largely because Measure J sales tax revenues exceeded expectation. Measure J is a1% sales and use tax that is to be used to fund city services, and is the largest contributor to the infrastructure fund.
The Palm Springs City Council started considering which projects to fund on Wednesday, and failed to reach a consensus but did come to a clear conclusion: The council will need more time and information to determine how to spend the $70 million the city will likely have to spend on infrastructure in the next year.

Updated May 7, 2022 at 3:43 PM ET
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Taliban officials announced that women and girls would be expected to stay home, and if they were to venture out, to cover in all-encompassing loose clothing that only reveals their eyes – preferably, a burka.
The restrictions on women's movement and dress are the harshest that the Taliban have announced since they came to power in August. It suggested the increasing dominance of the group's hard-line leaders, who appear to be behind the extended ban on most women and girls attending secondary school.
Saturday's announcement seemed to confirm the fears of many Afghans that the Taliban remained unchanged after two decades out of power. When the Taliban last ruled — from 1996 to 2001 — they also enforced harsh restrictions on women's dress and movement, and prevented most girls from going to school.
The news was met with dismay by some Afghan women.
"So much pain & grief for women of my country, my heart is exploding," tweeted Shaharzad Akbar, the former head of a prominent Afghan human rights group, who now lives in exile.
The rules would mean punishments for a woman's male guardian
The directive on the clothing of women and pubescent girls came from the Taliban's acting minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, a known hard-liner, Khaled Hanafi.
"We want our sisters to live with dignity and safety," he said.
However, it wasn't clear what legislative stages — if any — the directive still had to go through to be implemented. The state-run Afghan Bakhtar news agency described it as a draft law that had been "approved and implemented" by the Taliban's supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada.
"This is just one more step closer to seeing the dominance of these really retrograde, out of touch elements of the Taliban," said Ashley Jackson, the co-director of the Kenya-based Centre for the Study of Armed Groups, where she focuses on the Taliban.
"I think it also symbolizes the ascendancy of this base in Virtue Ministry, which in the 1990s played a similarly outsized role."
The Bakhtar news agency said the rules would be implemented gradually, through preaching and persuasion at first — and then with punishments.
It is not the woman who will be punished, but her male guardians. Her brother, father, husband or son will be tasked with enforcing the rules, and they will be held to account if she defies them. Punishments would range from several days in jail to being fired from their jobs.
That transforms Afghan women to minors in the eyes of Taliban officials, said Heather Barr of Human Rights Watch.
"The Taliban are really taking a very significant step in terms of stripping away what autonomy still remains for women and girls," she said.
"They're creating a situation where it's not even in the hands of women and girls themselves to make a decision about whether they're going to resist the Taliban on this, what what types of risks they're willing to take with their own safety because it's their male family members who are being endangered, not them."
The rules could affect the Taliban's pursuit of international recognition
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan condemned the directive, saying it "contradicts numerous assurances" that the Taliban would respect the human rights of Afghan women and girls over the past decade.
"These assurances were repeated following the Taliban takeover in August 2021, that women would be afforded their rights, whether in work, education, or society at large."
It also complicates efforts by the Taliban to seek international recognition – even as it makes it harder for the international community to work with the Taliban to alleviate a humanitarian crisis through the country.
The U.N. estimates that 93 percent of all Afghans are not getting enough food to eat, and just over 8 million face starvation.

miHoYo is the developer of Genshin Impact and several other titles, including the upcoming ACGN shooter, Zenless Zone Zero. This forthcoming project doesn't have too much revealed about it at the moment. For the most part, it's mainly some information discussing the game's genre and its new official photo.
That photo can be seen above and was recently used in several of the game's official accounts. Zenless Zone Zero was also known as Project X, which apparently features an anime aesthetic along with interactive physics in an open-world environment.
According to NVIDIA back in 2019, this game was supposed to come out in mid-2021, and it featured ray tracing. Naturally, it didn't arrive in 2021, and its current release date is unknown.
Zenless Zone Zero is an ACGN shooter game developed by the same people who made Genshin Impact
Zenless Zone Zero is yet another project by miHoYo, who has made several games already, which are:
- FlyMe2theMoon
- Zombiegal Kawaii
- Houkai Gakuen 2
- Honkai Impact 3rd
- Tears of Themis
- Genshin Impact
- Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai: Star Rail doesn't have a release date yet, so it is interesting that miHoYo is already working on another game already.
What is known about Zenless Zone Zero?
This game will be an ACGN-themed shooter. ACGN stands for "Anime Comic Game Novel." It's a term that's typically more popular in Southeast Asia than in the west, so some players might not have been aware of it.
The game was registered on December 23, 2021, under COGNOSPHERE PTE, LTD. It's apparently connected to miHoYo's Canadian branch, which they opened up back around November 2021. It was expected to have roughly 100 employees in two years. Montreal International stated that it would be a:
"AAA open-world action-adventure game featuring shooting-based gameplay within a living, breathing paranormal world."
Aside from that, some players are speculating that it will get an official reveal soon.
Some leaks state that miHoYo would announce more news on the game tomorrow (May 8, 2022), but they remain unconfirmed. Given the lack of official details on the game, there isn't too much for players to discuss at the moment. The most recent news is simply the game getting its official avatar.
Zenless Zone Zero continues the long-storied tradition of a miHoYo game having a woman with whitish hair facing forward. Genshin Impact was a tremendous success for miHoYo, so it's not too surprising to see that they have developed so many games in recent years.
Q. Is Genshin Impact the only game from miHoYo that you play?
Yes

Brighton 4-0 Manchester United: Rangnick reaction
- Published
Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a terrible performance. From the first until the last minute it was not enough; we can only apologise for this performance and a humiliating defeat.
"[Monday's win over Brentford] was a different game, we just gave too much time and space. We were never in a position where we could stop them playing through our lines, We told the players be as compact as they could but we couldn't stop it.
"I don't think they ignored the gameplan but we weren't able to stop them. We gave them too much space and if you do that against a technically good team like Brighton, you will get punished." | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cg3vy98gjk8o | 2022-05-07T21:25:11Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cg3vy98gjk8o | false | null |
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Democratic Montana state senator and U.S. House candidate has died.
The family of 62-year-old Mark Sweeney of Philipsburg in a statement Saturday said he died at home on Friday night. No cause was given.
The Montana Democratic Party in a statement said Sweeny was "a dedicated, selfless and effective public servant who always put the good of all people before himself or politics. Mark was a lifelong advocate for Montana’s working families and all those who called the Last Best Place home.”
The Billings Gazette reported that Sweeney entered the Democratic primary in February because he thought eastern and central Montana were being poorly represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale.
Sweeney is survived by his wife, two adult children, two stepdaughters and two grandchildren.
“Whether he be hunting, fishing, skiing or working on a farm or ranch, we will always treasure the enduring optimism, hope and love Mark brought to all of our lives and the people around him," the family said in a statement. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Montana-state-senator-and-U-S-House-candidate-17156767.php | 2022-05-07T21:49:23Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Montana-state-senator-and-U-S-House-candidate-17156767.php | true | 11 |
Zimbabwe will issue a ministerial statement next Thursday on how to resolve the exchange rate problem, Deputy Minister of Finance Clemence Chiduwa told the Senate yesterday.
He said people were manipulating the Zimbabwe dollar with some exchanging it at $250, others at $350 and some at $450. He said some schools were even charging $500 to the US dollar.
The auction rate is currently $165.99.
“In order for us to move forward, next week Thursday, we are going to give a Ministerial Statement on how best we can resolve the exchange rate issue. We also have other measures but we cannot pre-empt them,” Chiduwa said.
“Those who are involved in speculation of rates are going against the law. Our financial intelligence said they are waiting while following all the bank transactions. There is nothing that we do not know about your transactions. For example, a person with two million in their account, we can see all the transactions. So for those making voluminous transactions and engaging in black market deals, we have sued about 200 companies.
“Can we develop by manipulating the exchange rate? How is it going to help us? A country is only built through production. We are disadvantaging ourselves by manipulating the exchange rate and this will only result in a negative impact on prices. We are the ones responsible for the high rates that are the order of the day. We will bring a Ministerial Statement on the policies that we will implement, though I cannot pre-empt those now. We are working on resolving this issue of exchange rates.”
Q &A:
*HON. SEN. KAMBIZI: Thank you Mr. President of Senate. My question to the Minister of Finance is, the standard of living of people in Zimbabwe is now difficult because of the US dollar currency. The exchange rate between the RTGS and the United States dollar is not favourable. May the Minister of Finance clearly explain the relationship or the exchange rate between the US dollars and the RTGS? The money that the GMB is going to pay to farmers will be eroded by the exchange rate. May the Government address this issue? What is the policy in place to resolve the issue of the exchange rate? The US dollar rate is going up while the RTGS is going down.

Liverpool title setback: Drawing with Spurs aids City’s bid
By ROB HARRIS
AP Global Soccer Writer
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool is top of the English Premier League again after drawing with Tottenham 1-1 but Manchester City can go three points clear on Sunday. Dropping points is also a setback for Tottenham’s bid to overhaul Arsenal in fourth place. Tottenham moved to only a point behind its north London rival. It’s bleaker for sixth-placed Manchester United which lost at Brighton 4-0. Chelsea remains in third place despite throwing away a two-goal lead to draw with Wolverhampton 2-2. Watford was relegated after losing at Crystal Palace 1-0. Burnley might yet join Watford and already-relegated Norwich in the Championship after losing to Aston Villa 3-1. | https://kyma.com/news/ap-business/2022/05/07/liverpool-title-setback-drawing-with-spurs-aids-citys-bid/ | 2022-05-07T22:14:29Z | https://kyma.com/news/ap-business/2022/05/07/liverpool-title-setback-drawing-with-spurs-aids-citys-bid/ | true | null |

A security guard who was one of those injured when some hoodlums attacked a neighborhood in the Kubwa area of Abuja last week has reportedly died as result of injuries he sustained.
The security guard whose name was simply given as John was among eight residents attacked with machetes when the hoodlums attacked the neighborhood.
THE WHISTLER had reported how a tricycle operator was said to have mobilised the hoodlums to P-Layout, 2:1 New Site in Kubwa and attacked three security guards and five other residents over a disagreement.
The attack which took place on April 27 reportedly followed an altercation between one of the security guards and the tricycle (Keke NAPEP) operator.
A resident had told this website that the tricycle operator had hit and injured a motorcycle rider and attempted to run away but was prevented by the security guards.
Our correspondent gathered that John was left in a vegetative state after the assailants pounced on him and twisted his neck during the attack. He died on Thursday night at the Kubwa General Hospital.
His death, which was confirmed to our correspondent by a resident of the community, came about eight days after the attack.
Community Leaders Avoid Journalists
Meanwhile, the chairman and spokesperson of the community’s association, Mr. Adigun Adebiyi and Atabo Okolo, have declined to speak on the matter when our reporter made attempts to get details about the deceased.
The tricycle operator was said to have been arrested and the case transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja. | https://thewhistler.ng/security-guard-paralysed-by-keke-napep-operator-hoodlums-dies-in-abuja/ | 2022-05-07T22:42:41Z | https://thewhistler.ng/security-guard-paralysed-by-keke-napep-operator-hoodlums-dies-in-abuja/ | true | 1 |

Country music icon Mickey Gilley dies at age 86
PASADENA, Texas (KLTV) - Country music legend Mickey Gilley has died, according to Pasadena Mayor Jeff Wagner.
KTRK in Houston reported that Gilley died at the age of 86.
“Pasadena has lost a true legend,” Wagner said in a post on the City of Pasadena website. “Mickey Gilley passed away today, surrounded by his loved ones. It was my great honor to know this man most of my life.”
In the post, Wagner said described Gilley as a “true musical talent” who charted 42 singles in the Top 40 country charts over the span of two decades.
“His talent and larger-than-life personality helped ignite a new interest in country music as he introduced the world to Pasadena through his dance hall and ‘Urban Cowboy’ in 1980,” Wagner said in the Facebook post. “We were so honored to have Mickey perform at our State of the City in February 2020.”
Wagner said their prayers for peace and comfort are with Gilley’s family, loved ones, and fans.
Gilley had been dealing with health issues before his death. On May 1, a post on Gilley’s official Facebook page stated, “I am so sorry to have canceled the May dates at the theater in Branson. The last couple of weeks, my energy level and some health issues kept me from being 100 % at my shows.”
In 2018, Gilley was injured in a two-vehicle rollover wreck that occurred on U.S. Highway 59 in Corrigan. The driver of another vehicle failed to yield the right of way at the intersection of FM 1987, struck the vehicle Gilley was driving, and caused it to roll over.
Diboll police officers posed with Gilley in 2015 after they pulled him over for speeding. They issued him a warning for the traffic violation.
Even though Gilley was not from the Lone Star State, he was inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011. That year, KLTV’s Joan Hallmark interviewed the country music legend for her Proud of East Texas series.
At the time of the interview with Hallmark, Gilley was recovering from a fall that paralyzed him. He told Hallmark that he is no longer able to play the piano.
“Gilley says ‘Gilley’s; The World’s Biggest Honkey Tonk’ was the turning point in his career,” a previous East Texas News story stated. “He also had his first hit record the same year Gilley’s opened. When John Travolta tagged Gilley’s as the setting for ‘Urban Cowboy,’ success became supersized.”
Gilley was born March 9, 1936, in Mississippi, Hallmark said in her story. He grew up playing “boogie woogie” with his cousins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggert.

Ouellette promises collaborative approach if elected as Winnipeg mayor
Article content
Robert-Falcon Ouellette knew he wanted to run for mayor of Winnipeg during a meet-and-greet event when he was serving as a federal politician.

Article content
During a meet-and-greet at Portage Place, Ouellette — who was the Liberal MP for Winnipeg Centre at the time — met an Indigenous woman from northern Manitoba who was in the city for six weeks and had fallen into the “wrong crowd,” Ouellette said in a recent phone interview. She had fallen into the world of drugs and prostitution and was looking for a way out.
On a Friday afternoon, Ouellette started working the phones to see if he could connect this woman with some help and was unable to find her any kind of addiction treatment.
Ouellette recalled that was the most difficult moment he ever had to face while working in politics.
“Her story really tells a story of a lot of the afflictions that are impacting our city,” he said.

“A lot of issues in Winnipeg stem from issues that this lady is dealing with. How many people don’t want to go down to the downtown core because there’s too many people who have addictions, or too many people that have mental health challenges that go unanswered or unaddressed?”
Ouellette, who officially registered as a candidate in Winnipeg’s wide-open mayoral race this week, says the solution is simple — invite different levels of government together and discuss issues. Ouellette pointed to his experience in Ottawa getting MPs from different parties to work together as an asset in getting people to work cooperatively.
“How many times have the MLAs of our province met with the MPs of our province and met with city councillors? They don’t,” he said. “Because our elected officials don’t work together, we are not able to advance our needs and the needs of the citizens as to what should happen. And the reason is, is because we don’t have the leadership there. The leadership is not requesting these meetings.”

For Ouellette, if he were to be elected mayor this October, he would encourage a more collaborative approach between different levels of government, community organizations and businesses.
“It is not normal for a Canadian city to have such deep and profound issues that Winnipeg faces,” Ouellette said, who finished third in the 2014 mayoral race. “And in our city, we actually have people who have the intelligence, who have the knowledge to be able to solve it, but we haven’t empowered them to do so.”
Despite working at the federal level from 2015-19, Ouellette says he can make a bigger impact by serving in municipal politics.
“I won’t be able to solve all the ills of the Earth, but I think I can make a good go of it,” he said. “And I think people can believe that I will put my very best effort, and I will literally kill myself trying to make this city a better place.”
Winnipeggers head to the polls on Oct. 26 to elect a new mayor and council.

(WWTI) — May 7 is National Tourism Day, the final day of National Travel and Tourism Week, highlighting contributions the travel industry has made to economic growth in the United States.
According to AAA, many aspects of travel are on the rebound. AAA Travel booking data shows that reservations for flights, rental cars, cruises and hotels for Memorial Day are up 122% over last year.
This year’s theme of the “Future of Travel” elevates how the travel industry can restore the workforce, help communities recover, foster sustainability, usher in new innovations and reconnect travelers in the U.S. and around the world.
National Travel and Tourism Week was created by Congress in 1983 to elevate the economic power of travel in the U.S, making this the 39th annual celebration as the industry looks ahead to future growth and success following the challenges of the past two years.
“AAA Western and Central New York is thrilled to see travel rebound as we work to strengthen the tourism industry and economy,” said Carol DiOrio, Vice President of Travel at AAA Western and Central New York. “This National Travel and Tourism Week, we are spotlighting how travel benefits our workforce, supports global economies, and reconnects Americans to each other and the world.”
“NTTW has special significance this year as the travel industry looks ahead to a bright future,” said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow. “This NTTW is an opportunity to recognize the collective strength of the U.S. travel industry and how we are rebuilding to be more dynamic, innovative, sustainable and inclusive in the months and years to come.
“Before the pandemic, travel generated $2.6 trillion in economic output, supported 17 million American jobs and delivered a $51 billion trade surplus to the U.S.- evidence of the outsized role the industry will play in driving America’s recovery and future economic growth,” Dow said.
AAA Western and Central New York is celebrating National Travel and Tourism Week even more as the recipient of the 2021 Allianz Partners Top Club Award for mid-size AAA clubs, thanks to the company’s results during 2021 for overall sales and year over year growth as travelers are increasingly turning to travel insurance to protect their vacation investments.
A recent AAA survey finds that one-third, 31%, of U.S. travelers say they are more likely to purchase travel insurance for their trips planned between now and the end of 2022, specifically due to the pandemic.
The ability to cancel a trip and get a refund is by far the most frequently cited benefit of travel insurance, with 69% of travelers saying this is most important to them when considering travel insurance for an upcoming trip. AAA advises travelers to look into travel insurance policies that include a “cancel for any reason” component, which could offer more flexibility and protection in the event a traveler needs to cancel their trip. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/memorial-day-travel-reservations-up-122-over-last-year-as-travel-rebounds/ | 2022-05-07T23:29:34Z | https://www.wwlp.com/news/memorial-day-travel-reservations-up-122-over-last-year-as-travel-rebounds/ | false | 10 |
SACRAMENTO,Calif (KTXL) — A long vacant Old Town Sacramento building could be seeing new life as Frankie’s Pizza is nearly ready to open its doors at 200 K St according to owners Frank and Marissa Bell.
This father and daughter team has taken ownership of the 4000-square-feet restaurant that was formally the 2 Grand Saloon.
Pizza will of course be on the menu along with deep-fried wings, calzones, deep-fried pickles and zucchini, salads, and other items.
“I always had a dream of doing this with my family, and this place presented itself at the right time,” Frank Bell told the Sacramento Business Journal. “We decided it was the right time and that instead of talking about it, we should just do it.”
Frank Bell felt like the restaurant was a perfect fit for what he and his daughter have planned.
The Bell’s showed interest in the decade long vacant building just as the previous landlord was planning to split the building into three different retail spaces.
The restaurant is planning to hire 15 people, according to Marissa Bell, and they are planning to open in late June or early July, once they get their beer and wine license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The Bell’s are planning to be open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., but no official business hours have been announced yet. | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/new-pizzeria-coming-to-old-town-sacramento/ | 2022-05-07T23:35:25Z | https://fox40.com/news/local-news/new-pizzeria-coming-to-old-town-sacramento/ | false | 1 |
Ex-security chief poised to become Hong Kong's next leader
Issued on:
Hong Kong (AFP) – A former security chief who oversaw the crackdown on Hong Kong's democracy movement is set to be anointed the business hub's new leader on Sunday by a small committee of Beijing loyalists.
John Lee, 64, was the only candidate in a Beijing-backed one-horse race to succeed outgoing leader Carrie Lam.
His elevation will place a security official in the top job for the first time after a tumultuous few years for a city battered by political unrest and debilitating pandemic controls.
Hong Kong has never been a democracy, the source of years of public frustration and protests.
Its leader is instead chosen by an "election committee" currently comprised of 1,463 people -- roughly 0.02 percent of the city's population.
That committee, made up of political and business elites vetted for their loyalty, will cast ballots on Sunday morning.
Lee needs to secure a simple majority, but with no rivals, his ascension is virtually guaranteed.
Local media reported that police have placed 6,000 to 7,000 officers on standby to ensure the selection goes ahead without a hitch.
Under President Xi Jinping China is remoulding Hong Kong in its own authoritarian image after huge and sometimes violent democracy protests three years ago.
Beijing deployed a sweeping security law to stamp out dissent and rolled out a new "patriots only" political system for Hong Kong to guarantee anyone standing for office is considered suitably loyal.
Insiders say Lee's unwavering commitment to that campaign won China's confidence at a time when other Hong Kong elites were seen as insufficiently loyal or competent.
"He is a man who has stood the test," former security minister Lai Tung-kwok recently told AFP.
Lee, who spent 35 years in Hong Kong's police force before joining the government, inherits a troubled city.
While the democracy movement has been crushed by the security law, much of the population still resents Beijing's rule and chafes at the city's entrenched inequality.
Hong Kong also faces economic difficulties thanks to two years of strict pandemic curbs that have left it isolated from the rest of the world as rivals re-open.
Under the slogan "Starting a new chapter for Hong Kong together", Lee has vowed to bring in "result-oriented" governance, forge unity and reboot the city's economy.
A 44-page manifesto he released last week stuck to broad goals and offered few concrete policies or targets.
Lee has said he will unveil more details when he makes his first policy address.
He will take office on July 1, the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China from Britain.
China agreed that Hong Kong could maintain certain freedoms and autonomy for 50 years after its handover under a "One Country, Two Systems" formula.
Beijing and Lee say that formula is still intact.
Critics, including many Western powers, say it has been shredded.
Lee is one of 11 senior Hong Kong and Beijing officials sanctioned by the United States because of the political crackdown.

After hitting a record high in March, food prices around the world eased slightly in April, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a Rome-based UN agency, said Friday. The FAO Food Price Index averaged 158.2 points in April, down 0.8pc from the surge in March, but remained nearly 30pc higher than in April 2021. The Index tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a basket of food commodities, and the decrease was led by a slight decline in the prices of vegetable oils and cereals. “The small decrease in the index is a welcome relief, particularly for low-income food-deficit countries, but still food prices remain close to their recent highs, reflecting persistent market tightness and posing a challenge to global food security for the most vulnerable,” Maximo Torero Cullen, FAO Chief Economist, said in a statement. The Vegetable Oil Price Index registered a 5.7pc drop in April, shedding almost a third of the increase in March. Demand rationing pushed down the prices for palm, sunflower, and soy oils, FAO said, while uncertainties surrounding export availabilities from Indonesia – the world’s leading exporter of palm oil – contained further declines in prices on the international market. The FAO Cereal Price Index declined by 0.7 points in April, due to a 3.0pc decline in world maize prices. Wheat prices rose 0.2pc, strongly affected by continued blockage of ports in Ukraine. The country, together with Russia, accounts for some 30pc of global wheat exports. Other factors behind the increase included concerns over crop conditions in the United States, though tempered by larger shipments from India and higher-than-expected exports from Russia. Meanwhile, international rice prices increased by 2.3pc, bolstered by strong demand from China and the Near East. FAO also released updated forecasts for world cereal supply and demand, which indicate that although stocks are rising, trade is a likely to decline this year. Global wheat production is predicted to grow to 782m tonnes, which incorporates an expected 20pc decline in harvested area in Ukraine as well as declines due to drought in Morocco. FAO said the Sugar Price Index rose 3.3pc in April, mainly due to higher ethanol prices and concerns over the slow start of the 2022 harvest in Brazil, the world’s largest sugar exporter. The FAO Meat Price Index reached a new record high last month, increasing by 2.2pc as prices rose for poultry, pig and bovine meat. Poultry costs were affected by disruptions to exports from Ukraine and rising avian influenza outbreaks in the northern hemisphere. The Dairy Price Index also jumped by 0.9pc, driven by what FAO described as “persistent global supply tightness”, with milk output in Western Europe and Oceania continuing to track below seasonal levels. The agency reported that world butter prices rose the most, influenced by rising demand associated with the current shortage of sunflower oil and margarine. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/930995/world-food-prices-slightly-down-after-record-surge-on-ukraine-war-un-agency/ | 2022-05-07T23:35:56Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/930995/world-food-prices-slightly-down-after-record-surge-on-ukraine-war-un-agency/ | true | 2 |

Success for Ceredigion school rugby teams at Principality Stadium
Subscribe newsletter
Recently, some Ceredigion school rugby teams have been competing at a national level at the Road to Principality event held at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff.
There was a great celebration at Ysgol Bro Teifi on Monday, 25 April following the success of their under-14 girls’ rugby team. Following victories in a series of games at regional and national level in recent months, the team had the opportunity to play in the national final at the Principality Stadium against Ysgol Brynhyfryd, Denbighshire.
In front of a crowd of some 150 fans who had travelled to Cardiff to see the game, Bro Teifi managed to win 34-19 in a competitive and fast game.
Acting headteacher Gareth Evans said: “At the start of a new term, it was great to be able to celebrate the success of the girls on the rugby field following a run of games where the team was seen subduing Ysgol Bro Dinefwr, Plas Mawr, Bishopston and the Rhymney Valley among others.
“I would like to congratulate the girls on their huge success and thank the training team of Llyr James, Gemma Potter and Stephanie Gough for their work.”
Final defeats for Penweddig
YSGOL Penweddig suffered a painful defeat in the final of the Welsh Schools and Colleges Under 18s Plate but can be proud of their performance after going down 18-7 to Stanwell from Penarth.
Lloyd Ellis-Jones scored the Aberystwyth school’s try with Steffan Jac Jones adding the conversion in the final held at the Principality Stadium last Tuesday.
The school’s Year 8 side also deserved plaudits after they lost 31-19 in their final against Bro Morgannwg the previous day.

Sunrise Deer
I started my walk early this morning (the light was amazing) and startled six deer grazing near the creek. I managed to snap a photo of one with my phone before they all disappeared into the trees. Seeing such beauty was a great way to start my day.

The MV Agusta 750S was released in 1970, it was a superbike the world had been clamoring for for years but there was just one catch – it cost almost three times as much as a Honda CB750.
The crown jewel of the MV Agusta 750S was its engine, an advanced inline four cylinder all-alloy motor with double overhead cams, an electric starter, and unit construction including a 5-speed gearbox. It was one of the most technically sophisticated motorcycles in production at the time of its unveiling.
Fast Facts – The MV Agusta 750S
- Just 583 examples of the MV Agusta 750S would be built between 1970 and 1975, this wasn’t due to a lack of public interest or desire for the model, rather it was down to its exceptionally high price tag.
- MV Agusta had been developing transverse inline-four cylinder motorcycle engines since 1950, after poaching two of the top engineers from Gilera and closely replicating their race-winning inline-four.
- The new 500cc transverse inline-four proved to be just as successful as MV Agusta’s other motorcycles, helping the Italian company to win 270 Grand Prix motorcycle races, 38 World Riders’ Championships, and 37 World Constructors’ Championships.
- With its 743cc DOHC inline-four producing 72 bhp at 9,200 rpm the 750S had a top speed of 120 mph (200 km/h), making it one of the highest performing and most desirable production superbikes of its day.
The Italian Transverse Four
The true history of the MV Agusta 750S started all the way back to the 1920s, when two young Italians named Carlo Gianini and Piero Remor developed an advanced 500cc SOHC inline-four cylinder motorcycle engine capable of 28 bhp – an astonishing figure for the era.
This wasn’t the first inline-four fitted to a motorcycle, but it was the first to be bolted in transversely, or sideways. Earlier motorcycles with inline-fours had them fitted longitudinally which resulted in a long wheelbase and insufficient cooling on the rear cylinders.
Gianini and Remor had proven the concept but they suffered from a dire lack of funding to continue development, fortunately aircraft engine manufacturer C.N.A. stepped in and took over the project – developing the engine into a DOHC inline-four with liquid-cooling and a supercharger, now capable of 80+ bhp.
Named the “Rondine” this would be the motorcycle engine that powered the 1st and 2nd place finishers in the 1935 Tripoli Grand Prix in Italy.
The Arrival Of Gilera And The Rondine
Shortly after the success of the Rondine-engined motorcycles in the Tripoli Grand Prix the design was bought by Guiseppe Gilera of the Gilera motorcycle company.
Gilera engineers developed a modified version of the Rondine engine and continued competing with it right up until the outbreak of WWII in Europe in 1939.
After the war a new transverse inline-four was developed from a blank sheet, it was one of the most advanced motorcycle engines in the world at the time and it powered Gilera riders to a slew of race and championship wins.
MV Agusta: Headhunters Extraordinaire
In 1949 MV Agusta successfully hired both the chief engine designer and chief mechanic away from the Gilera team – Piero Remor and Arturo Magni respectively. That’s the same Piero Remor who had co-developed the first transverse inline-four all the way back in the early 1920s.
This was a major coup for MV Agusta, the two men set about designing a 500cc transverse four that was so similar to their original Gilera design people wondered if parts could be swapped between them.
This new engine proved itself in competition time and again, along with the other MV Agustas it helped power the company to 270 Grand Prix motorcycle race wins, 38 World Riders’ Championship wins, and 37 World Constructors’ Championship wins.
MV Agusta 750S
For years fans of motorcycle grand prix racing had been clamoring for a street-legal production version of the all-conquering MV Agusta race bikes.
The company had held off on this, no one is quite sure why but the most likely reason seemed to be that they didn’t want privateer racers competing alongside factory race bikes and possibly beating them.
The company finally acquiesced in 1965, releasing the MV Agusta 600 – a cruiser type motorcycle fitted with a 600cc version of their famous transverse four. The bike wasn’t particularly attractive, it certainly wasn’t sporting, and it cost a small fortune.
Sales of the 600 were dismal and in 1970 the company finally gave the motorcycle riding public what they had wanted all along – the MV Agusta 750S.
Now with its engine bored out to 743cc the DOHC transverse four produced 72 bhp at 9,200 rpm and had a top speed of 200 km/h or 120 mph. It cost three times the price of the Honda CB750, a Japanese motorcycle that had doubtless been inspired by the mighty Italian fours.
Sales were relatively slow, with a little over 100 a year being built for five years, 583 were built in total. Today they’re among the most collectible superbikes of the era.
The MV Agusta 750S you see here is a 1974 model the penultimate year of production. It’s finished in the classic red/blue/white livery of the company.
Perhaps most interestingly, it was recently restored to concours condition by none other than Giovanni Magni – the son of Arturo Magni, who was Racing Director for MV Agusta throughout the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.
It’s due to be auctioned live online with the bidding starting in four days at the time of writing. If you’d like to see more, read more, or register to bid you can see the listing here.

NEW YORK (AP) — While Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker were holed up in an apartment cutting “Raging Bull” — an intense process that would have consumed the thoughts of most filmmakers — Scorsese told his editor to take a break. He had a movie he needed to show her.
“He said, ‘You have to see this one,’” recalls Schoonmaker.
Scorsese was by then already a passionate fan of the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the British filmmaking duo known as the Archers. He considered Technicolor films like “The Red Shoes,” “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp” and “A Matter of Life and Death” to be masterpieces. But he had held off watching their 1945 black-and-white Scottish romance, “I Know Where I'm Going!” fearing it might be “a lighter picture.” Something about that title. And besides, just how many masterworks could Powell and Pressburger have made?
Yet Scorsese was coaxed into screening it with his friend Jay Cocks the night before shooting began on “Raging Bull.”
“I couldn’t have been more wrong," Scorsese recalled in an email. "It was funny, it was exciting, it was truly mystical and it was deeply stirring. I’ve seen ‘I Know Where I’m Going!’ many times since then — so many times, in fact, that I’ve almost lost count — and I’m always moved and always surprised every time, and I’m held in suspense right up to those amazing final moments.”
On Monday, Scorsese and the film restoration nonprofit he founded, the Film Foundation, will launch a new virtual theater, the Film Foundation Restoration Screening Room. Every month, for one night only, films that have been restored by the Film Foundation will be presented in free online screenings accompanied by discussions from Scorsese and other filmmakers. The screening room begins, naturally, with the restoration of “I Know Where I'm Going!”
Since it was released in the waning days of World War II, “I Know Where I'm Going!” has played a unique role in the hearts of moviegoers. It isn't the most celebrated Powell and Pressburger film, nor is it regularly listed on all-time lists. Instead, it's a movie that tends to be shared moviegoer to moviegoer, like a cherished gift or family treasure. It's a buried gem that anyone who's ever seen it wants to tell everyone about. “You have to see this one” is how most conversations about “I Know Where I'm Going!” begin.
“At the end of the war, people had suffered so much,” says Schoonmaker, speaking recently by phone. “And here is this movie that lifts your heart.”
Shortly after seeing “I Know Where I'm Going,” Powell visited Scorsese, who encouraged Schoonmaker to come along to dinner. They hit it off and by 1984 were married. Powell died in 1990; Pressburger in 1988. Ever since, Schoonmaker and Scorsese's have dedicated themselves — when they're not making films (they're currently finishing the edit on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” an expansive crime film for Apple about the 1920s murders in Oklahoma's Osage Nation )— to restoring Powell and Pressburger's movies. Scorsese recently signed on to narrate a documentary on their films. For years, Schoonmaker has been combing through Powell's diaries with the hope of publishing them.
“I inherited that,” says Schoonmaker, Scorsese's celebrated longtime editor. “Michael, when he died, left a little furnace burning inside of me. What keeps me going is loving and trying to get other people to love his work.”
How much can come from loving an old movie? For Schoonmaker, the answer is almost everything. Scorsese's passion for the Archers' movies inspired Schoonmaker's own, and in turn led to the love of her life.
“It was Marty’s passion for film history that made this all happen,” she says, chuckling.
The Film Foundation, which collaborated with the British Film Institute on the “I Know Where I'm Going” restoration, has restored more than 925 films, preserving wide swaths of film history and picking up the slack of many of today's film studios, who have showed less interest in preserving cinema's past than keeping pipelines of new “content” flowing.
“At this point, they’re not film companies anymore, but vast media conglomerates. For them, old movies are one small item in a wide array of properties and activities,” says Scorsese. “The people who run them are several generations from the very question of cinema: the word is meaningful only as a marketing term. Their interest is not in making good films, but in making their shareholders richer. So, no, restoring a Howard Hawks picture is not high on their list of priorities. The idea that it should be, for reasons that have nothing to do with profits and losses, is not even entertained. In this atmosphere, the idea of art has no place. It throws a wrench in the works.”
“I Know Where I'm Going!," though, stands for the foolhardiness of best laid plans. Powell and Pressburger made it in 1944 while awaiting the Technicolor cameras Lawrence Olivier was using to make “Henry V." Pressburger is believed to have written it in a matter of days. They pitched it to Ministry of Information, which controlled wartime moviemaking, as an anti-materialistic tale. (Britain feared a rash of consumerism would follow wartime rationing.)
In it, a headstrong woman, Joan Webster (Wendy Hiller) travels to the Scottish Herbrides (the film was shot on the picturesque Isle of Mull) to marry a wealthy lord. But stormy weather prevents her from crossing to Kiloran (the island of Colonsay). While awaiting passage, she meets a naval officer (Roger Livesey) from the area. They become quickly enmeshed in local life, as we grow enchanted with it. Joan feels increasingly pulled off course.
But summarizing the exhilarating magic of “I Know Where I'm Going!” never quite does it justice. It reverberates with a warm, lyrical spirit that feels poised between past and present, legend and reality. It's a movie that you, just as helpless as Joan, can't help falling for.
The film's devotees are a passionate tribe. “The Big Sleep” author Raymond Chandler once wrote, “I've never seen a picture which smelled of the wind and rain quite this way." Tilda Swinton, who has a family home on Colonsay, thinks “I Know Where I'm Going!” should be handed out by Scottish diplomats when they travel the globe. “It's like a confessional," Swinton says in a video made for the Film Foundation. “You go back to it every few years.”
“I Know Where I'm Going” is in part about reconnecting with something — with nature and old ways — that makes it a particularly fitting film to kick off the Restoration Screening Room. With appointed showtimes and robust conversation around the film, the virtual theater is set up in a way that clearly differs from the standard streaming experience.
“We’ve gotten used to watching and listening on our own time. Something’s been gained, but something has also been lost,” says Scorsese. “We felt it was important to create a way of watching movies that guaranteed there was a greater audience out there watching and responding at the same time.”
At a time when film culture can be unsure of its direction, the lovingly restored “I Know Where I'm Going!” may help light the way. It is, at any rate, one spirit-lifting port in a storm.
“I’ve always felt that you can’t have a present or a future of cinema without its past. The films that I’ve seen, that I’ve re-seen and studied, that I’ve discovered for myself or through a friend ... they enrich me, they inspire me, they sustain me," says Scorsese. "I suppose it's possible to imagine someone making movies without bothering to see anything made before their own time. But the question is: why? What’s the point? Why not see what you come out of? Every film is in conversation with every film before it and every one that follows it. It’s true of all art. Isn’t that amazing?”

The Wilds Female Cast Share Their Thoughts On Not Getting Flashbacks This Season
By Sarah El-Mahmoud published
It's not 'girls only' anymore!
Mild spoilers are ahead for The Wilds Season 2, available to binge now with an Amazon Prime subscription.
The Wilds brought something new to the survival thriller genre when it sought to tell the story of a group of women who crash land on a mysterious island a la Lost and must learn how to put away the demons they left at home and work together. Following the big twist ending at the end of Season 1, the girls are not alone and in Season 2, the Amazon Prime series explores a male island, bringing in a whole new set of backstories to tell, and in turn leaves the women without more flashbacks. What does the original cast think about the shakeup?
When CinemaBlend spoke with the cast of The Wilds, each of the members of the female cast had their own take on Season 2, but unanimously they found positives in the change. Let’s start with Erana James, whose character of Toni found a sweet romance on the island with Mia Healey’s Shelby that fans loved. In her words:
Mia Healey added to James' point, which her magnetic co-star completely agreed with. Here’s what Healey said:
In Season 1, each woman on the island received their own episode, where they explored their lives prior to arriving on the island. Each of them was dealing with their own struggles and traumas ahead of being part of this still mysterious social experiment. Reign Edwards plays Rachel, a competitive diver who is dealing with the fallout of Nora’s death in Season 2. Edwards had this to say:
The women’s screentime is wholly on the island and in the present as the show also moves to tell the story of a group of young men on another island who had their own set of experiences. Sarah Pidgeon plays Leah, who has been going through it following an intense breakup right before the crash. The actress said this of not having more flashbacks for the women in the show:
Having seen the entirety of The Wilds Season 2, there’s some bittersweetness to how it was framed. Part of me wishes the creators took more time with these women and fleshed out their backstories more this season, while another part of me did enjoy the new dynamic created by the male cast. There’s a lot going on in Season 2, and while shorter seasons have been more effective as of late, The Wilds feels like a show that could benefit from a longer season. Shannon Berry, who plays Dot, had this to say:
Finally, Sophia Ali, who recently starred in Uncharted alongside Tom Holland, got more blunt about not only wanting more backstory for her character but more of the cast of The Wilds. In her words:
In other words, we’re going to need a Season 3 to get to know both the women and men on the island and see the social experiment of The Wilds rage on. If you haven't watched already, you can find both seasons of The Wilds streaming on Amazon now.
YA genre tribute. Horror May Queen. Word webslinger. All her writing should be read in Sarah Connor’s Terminator 2 voice over.

Hamilton relieved as Mercedes regain some form
Issued on: Modified:
Miami (AFP) – Lewis Hamilton admitted to relief and said he and Mercedes would 'keep chipping away' to recover lost speed after he qualified sixth on Saturday for the Miami Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion had missed out on a top ten start at last month's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and praised his team for their hard work in attempting to improve their new car.
"That's the best qualifying session that I have had in the last three races," he said. "So I'll take that and keep pushing and keep working hard.
"We've got to keep on chipping away. So much amazing work has gone on in the background.
"I don't think we are necessarily moving forward at the rate we would like to, but we have just got to keep our heads down and keep working and eventually we will get there."
Team-mate George Russell, who was fastest in Friday's second free practice session, was unable to reproduce that pace as the team continued making set-up changes in search of a major performance improvement.
"I'm a bit confused to be honest," he said, having qualified 12th. "The car was bouncing a lot more again.
"My qualifying lap was slower than the one I did in second practice yesterday. We just didn't attack any of the corners. There was potential in there, we saw that yesterday.
"We were really quick, but it was massively away from us today. It's all a bit inconsistent to be honest. When we get it into the window, it's fast.
"Yesterday, it looked like we were in the fight for pole, but today we were 12th so it doesn't really make a lot of sense."
Mercedes, winners of a record eight consecutive constructors championships in Formula One, have struggled to be competitive with their new car this year after the introduction of new regulations.

VIJAYAWADA: The plant of private pharma firm Porus Laboratories at Akkireddygudem in Musunuru mandal of Eluru district has been shut down safely after neutralising chemicals, gases and other chemical waste on the factory premises.
Out of five production blocks from A to E, only two – B and D – had been working when the blast in a reactor of the Porus plant late on the night of April 13 claimed nine lives. Since then, authorities have sent stocks of chemicals and gases like methylamine, phthalic anhydride, which remained unaffected, to their places of origin. Further, contaminated chemical waste generated following the blast has been transported to Ramky in Parawada of Visakhapatnam for safe disposal in a scientific manner, while complying with all standard protocols.
With all chemicals vulnerable to reactions neutralised or transported for safe disposal, workers at Porus Labs are cleaning up the premises.
A senior factories department official said, “The plant has almost been safely shut down by moving out all chemicals and gases after neutralising them. All contaminated chemical waste following the reactor blast has been transported to Ramky for safe disposal. This is a temporary exercise. The state government is yet to take a final decision on shutting down Porus Labs on a permanent basis or allow it to operate after complying with safety norms.”
The majority of Akkireddygudem villagers want Porus Lab shifted from the place permanently owing to the health hazards it poses. But the state government is yet to take a final decision. It has not released the report of inquiry it conducted into the mishap at the plant. Sources indicate the blast is due to human error. In that case, several questions arise as to why the firm did not resort to automation so that the element of human error could be removed.
The plant was inspected thrice from 2020 to 2022 by department of factories, an inter-departmental team of officials after LG Polymers mishap on May 7, 2020, and a third-party safety audit. Yet, the mishap took place. This indicates that inspections lacked seriousness in ensuring that the plant management complied with all safety norms scrupulously.

Kentucky Derby 2022: Final Results, Standings, Payouts and Replay Highlights
May 7, 2022Rich Strike struck it rich for everyone involved with the 2022 Kentucky Derby winner.
The horse that entered into the Derby field on Friday after Etheral Road scratched surged down the inside of the track to become one of the most unlikely winners in the event's history.
Rich Strike closed at 80-1 odds on the Derby lines. He was as high as 99-1 when he was entered into the 20-horse field.
The ultimate long shot captured the $1.8 million purse for his owners, trainer Eric Reed and jockey Sonny Leon. The victory was the first Derby win for Reed and Leon.
Rich Strike outpaced two of the favored horses down the final few lengths at Churchill Downs. Epicenter and Zandon ended up second and third after they were passed by the long shot winner.
Kentucky Derby Results
1. Rich Strike
2. Epicenter
3. Zandon
4. Simplification

Epicenter and Zandon appeared to be in a two-horse race to cross the finish line in first.
The two horses were among the favorites to win the race before the gates dropped at Churchill Downs.
Rich Strike surged down the inside lane out of nowhere to get past the two strong three-year-old horses.
Jockey Sonny Leon navigated Rich Strike from the outside starting post to the inside lane over the 1 1/4 miles in order to make the final push.
Rich Strike was not expected to be in the Kentucky Derby before Friday morning. He was entered into the field after Etheral Road was a late scratch.
Rich Strike did not have a terrific build-up to the first leg of the Triple Crown. He took third and fourth in back-to-back synthetic turf races in March and April.
Before Rich Strike took first, Summer of Tomorrow led the field at a blistering hot pace around the Louisville track.
The favored horses started to lead the pack after the halfway mark. That set the stage for an apparent battle between Epicenter and Zandon.
Then one of the unlikeliest final pushes in horse racing history occurred and Rich Strike made anyone who bet on him rich in two minutes.
A $2 bet on Rich Strike would have paid out $163.60. Rich Strike's 80-1 odds made the payouts for exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets remarkably high.
An exacta bet with Rich Strike and Epicenter would have paid out $4,101.20 if you placed $2 on the slip.
A trifecta including Rich Strike, Epicenter and Zandon would have paid out $14,870.70 and a superfecta with those three horses and fourth-place finisher Simplification would have produced a $321,500.10 payout.
Rich Strike will now get ready to go after the Triple Crown at the Preakness Stakes two weeks from now at Pimlico Race Course. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2956026-kentucky-derby-2022-final-results-standings-payouts-and-replay-highlights | 2022-05-08T00:06:45Z | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2956026-kentucky-derby-2022-final-results-standings-payouts-and-replay-highlights | true | 1 |
The Portland Trail Blazers’ forgettable 2021-22 season is in the books and it is time to turn our attention to the 2022 NBA Draft. Unlike recent years, Portland has multiple picks in this year’s process. After finishing the regular season with a 27-55 record, the Blazers enter the lottery draw with the sixth-best odds in the NBA. Buoyed by those odds, the Blazers are poised to exit the draft with the rights to a marquee prospect.
LSU forward Tari Eason takes center stage in this profile. In his lone season with the Tigers, Eason displayed versatility and NBA upside.
Tari Eason
- Height: 6’8”
- WT: 216
- Wingspan: *
- Shooting Hand: Right
- Position: F
- Age: 20 (turns 21 on May 10)
-
Projected draft range: 14-20
*Available wingspan measurements range from 6’9” to 7’1”
2021-22 Statistics
- PTS: 16.9 | Per 40: 27.7
- REB: 6.6 | Per 40: 10.8
- STL: 1.9 | Per 40: 3.2
- BLK: 1.1 | Per 40: 1.8
- FG%: 52.1
- 3P%: 35.9
- FT%: 80.3
Strengths
Eason is one of the most explosive athletes at his position group. Defensively, he is a steal artist. Eason utilizes his next-level burst to invade passing lanes. Even in one-on-one situations, he seeks out the ball with superb hand placement. Inside the arc, Eason’s athleticism allows him to come across the lane quickly to complete highlight-worthy blocks.
In the paint, Eason’s rebounding is in a class of its own. He constantly fights for position and reloads between jumps with eye-popping speed. His work on the offensive glass routinely extended possessions and generated easy buckets.
Eason has the framework in place to develop into a multi-level scorer. When he has space in catch-and-shoot situations, he can knock down three-pointers. Eason is not afraid of contact off the dribble. His fouls drawn per 40 minutes rate registered at No. 15 in the country as a result (per KenPom). In transition, Eason throws down highlight-worthy finishes with his long strides and leaping ability.
Weaknesses
Everything that Eason does well on offense starts with his right hand. In halfcourt sets, Eason operates almost exclusively with his right. That dependence leads to turnovers and fouls. Competent defenders force him left and feast on easy opportunities when Eason continues going right anyway. Eason struggled with turnovers and fouls throughout his sophomore season. As a reserve, he fouled out of five contests. He also finished six games with at least four turnovers.
Eason is a limited offensive player outside of transition opportunities. His predictable driving style and dependence on a single hand curb his shot creation potential. Eason’s shot mechanics are clunky at best. At times, his three-point shot looks more like a shot put attempt. Eason regularly pushes the ball through his right shoulder for off-balance attempts. He needs significant space when shooting from beyond the arc.
2021-22 Season
Following his college debut at Cincinnati, Eason transferred to LSU. Eason was featured as an impactful sixth man. In 33 outings (four starts), he made significant statistical improvements across the board. As a team, LSU finished with a 22-12 record and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers’ tournament run was short lived, though. LSU was bounced by Iowa State in the opening round.
Eason earned the SEC Sixth Man of the Year award and a spot All-SEC First Team.
Overall Assessment
Eason has NBA-quality athleticism and size. Along with those attributes, he is a high-motor player in several key areas. Outside of those positives, Eason has significant improvement areas. He needs to mitigate his right-hand dependence and continue to make strides with his outside shooting. If Eason fails to develop in those areas, opposing teams will give him plenty of space on the offensive end.
Eason is a raw frontcourt player with several traits that cannot be taught. Even if he falls short of his two-way ceiling, he should have a career as a high-energy reserve big man.
Overall Fit
The Blazers have struggled with physical play during several periods of the Lillard-era. Eason fits the mold of a player ready to address those deficiencies. On both the offensive and defensive end, he is not afraid to mix it up. Along with his physical nature, Eason thrives in the margins. His ability to secure offensive rebounds and generate steals should translate nicely to the NBA.
In terms of timeline, Eason’s fit is murky at best. He has serious development areas to address. His lack of halfcourt offense would seriously compromise Portland’s spacing. Defensively, Eason could contribute fairly quickly off the bench. But his issues with foul trouble could limit his availability and effectiveness.
Eason would have been a near-perfect match for the Pelicans’ draft pick, but that opportunity has passed. If the Blazers move down from their original draft slot, Eason could land on their radar. Eason’s ties to Blazers legend Brandon Roy provide the foundation for a feel-good storyline. Eason played under Roy for the majority of his high school career at Garfield in Seattle. | https://www.blazersedge.com/2022/5/7/23061313/tari-eason-2022-nba-draft-profile-scouting-report-strengths-lsu-trail-blazers-lottery-picks | 2022-05-08T00:13:55Z | https://www.blazersedge.com/2022/5/7/23061313/tari-eason-2022-nba-draft-profile-scouting-report-strengths-lsu-trail-blazers-lottery-picks | true | 1 |

New Mexico wildfire: Huge blaze could worsen this weekend
A fire that is already the second biggest in New Mexico's history could worsen this weekend as windy and dry conditions hit the US state.
The so-called Hermits Peak Fire has been burning for more than a month and has torn through an area larger than the city of Chicago.
Many families have been left homeless and thousands have been evacuated.
Winds, near-record high temperatures and low humidity are now expected to stoke the blaze further.
The National Weather Service in Albuquerque warned that windy and dry conditions are expected through the weekend and "will make our bad situation worse".
US President Joe Biden this week declared a major disaster in New Mexico, unlocking federal resources including financial aid for affected individuals.
Restaurants and grocery stores in Las Vegas, a New Mexico city of 13,000 people, have been closed, while schools have either closed or moved to remote-only options.
"It's literally like living under a dark cloud. It's unnerving," Liz Birmingham, a resident of the city, told CBS News.
Elmo Baca, chairman of the Las Vegas Community Foundation, said: "There's uncertainty and there's fear about how the winds are going to affect the fire from day to day.
"Once the people are evacuated out of an area, they can't go back, so they're just stuck worrying."
The fire has blackened more than 267 sq miles (691 sq km).
It is believed to have started on 6 April and has been traced, in part, to a preventive fire initiated by the US Forest Service to reduce flammable vegetation. But the blaze then merged with another wildfire.
The frequency of large wildfires has increased dramatically in recent decades.
Compared with the 1970s, fires larger than 10,000 acres (40 sq km) are now seven times more common in the west of the US, according to Climate Central, an independent organisation of scientists and journalists. | https://news.yahoo.com/mexico-wildfire-huge-blaze-could-232756139.html | 2022-05-08T00:44:35Z | https://news.yahoo.com/mexico-wildfire-huge-blaze-could-232756139.html | false | 5 |

As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, many of us are having to get inventive to raise the necessary funds to keep making ends meet. According to a Student Beans survey, 51 per cent of respondents are doing that by raiding the back of their wardrobes, as well as the attic, garage and spare room, for often long-forgotten items that might just find a new home and bring in as much as £2,250!
That is the figure data analysts reckon the average Brit has lying around the house gathering dust rather than accumulating cash, as reported by BirminghamLive. The research by Student Beans also revealed that eBay (24 per cent) is the most popular place for people to flog their second-hand items, closely followed by Depop (23 per cent).
Others, meanwhile, are getting up early on Sunday mornings to sell their wares to the nation's car boot sale enthusiasts. If you need some help deciding what, among your clutter, could represent the best value for a quick sale, then here are the top 10 items knocking around your home that can help keep the wolf from the door during these tough times:
1 Bicycles - average selling price £380
Cycling remains popular following on from the lockdown boom with 18,000 online "bikes for sale" searches every month. But, if you found that you hung up your cycling helmet for good when the pubs reopened or the kids have outgrown their bikes, then you could raise close to £400.
2 TVs - average selling price £225
Upgraded your TV but still not found a new home for your old gogglebox? If the answer is yes, It might be worth knowing that you could get more than £200 for a second-hand flat screen, depending on the make, model and condition.
3 Furniture - average selling price £211
Pre-loved furniture is all the rage and on trend with upcycling the subject of 2,400 online searches every month.
4 Consoles - average selling price £103-£166
An old Playstation can fetch £166 and a pre-owned Xbox is normally worth around £103. Again, the make, model and condition could mean you receive even more.
5 Old mobile phones - average selling price £84
Not all of us have a used, unwanted iPhone 13 pro max hanging around that will put £1,349 in the bank. But many of us will be able to get something approaching near £100 for our old models after maybe upgrading.
6 LEGO - average selling price £29 per eBay listing
This will prove popular with anybody fed up of stepping on a loose brick or two that have spilled out of the cupboard that nobody really opens these days. Maybe the kids have lost interest or your partner does not have the time anymore to build the Millennium Falcon they bought 15 years ago and is still boxed up.
7 Clothes - average selling price £13.50 per item
Do you really need to keep that impulse buy from 2015 that still has the labels on it? Somebody else could be dying to throw it on, whether it has gone past its fashion sell-by date or not.
8 Video games - average selling price £12.73 pre game
Keen gamer or somebody who gave up sitting in front of their console a few years back? Either way, you've probably got some platform classics or shoot 'em ups that people will be willing to part with their hard-earned for.
9 Jewellery - average selling price £8 per piece
If your jewellery box lid won't fit on and, when you do manage to get in there, it's a tangled mess of necklaces, bracelets and dangle earrings, it might be worth looking at what you don't really need anymore. Second-hand Pandora charms can be worth £27 each for instance.
10 DVDs - average selling price £3.33 per DVD
In an age of Netflix and Disney Plus, where the bloke with a bag of the "latest" films down the pub is now redundant, it might come as a surprise that your old DVDs can be sold for anything. Happily, though, there is still a small market for your old Blu-rays.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Gabriel Landeskog scored twice in the second period, and the top-seeded Colorado Avalanche beat the Nashville Predators 7-3 Saturday for a commanding 3-0 lead in their first-round Western Conference series.
Landeskog also had two assists. Nazem Kadri and Devon Toews each added a goal and an assist, and Artturi Lehkonen and Nathan MacKinnon scored a power-play goal apiece as Colorado went 4 for 5 on the man advantage to push Nashville to the brink of elimination. Cale Makar had three assists.
Valeri Nichushkin added an empty-net goal with 2:46 left. The Avs had a couple missed opportunities once Nashville pulled goalie Connor Ingram with more than 4 minutes remaining.
Avalanche goalie Darcy Kuemper was hurt with a minute left in the first period. Pavel Francouz replaced him and made 20 saves in his seventh playoff appearance of his career.
Matt Duchene, Eeli Tolvanen and captain Roman Josi each scored goals for Nashville. Alexandre Carrier had two assists.
This is the first time the Predators have trailed 0-3 in a series, and they will try to avoid being swept for the first time in their 15 playoff appearances in Game 4 on Monday night.
Colorado has simply dominated the Predators, outscoring them 16-6 with a 137-81 difference in shots through the first three games.
Lehkonen got the Avs on the board first yet again midway through the first on yet another Nashville penalty, deflecting a slap shot by Toews. MacKinnon made it 2-0 just 21 seconds into the Avs’ next man advantage at 16:07.
Duchene got Nashville on the board, scoring on a wrister at 17:37. Then Predators center Ryan Johansen’s stick caught Kuemper’s face, and Francouz replaced him in net.
The Predators managed to score twice on the man advantage in the second with Tolvanen scoring from the dot in the left face-off circle at 5:41. Landeskog beat Ingram with a backhander on the man advantage midway through the second for a 3-2 lead, then Josi tied it with a slap shot from the blue line at 12:11.
Landeskog scored his second at 14:02 to put Colorado ahead to stay.
The Avs got another man advantage when Nashville lost its challenge of Landeskog’s goal for Lehkonen interfering with Ingram after Predators forward Mikael Granlund blamed for the contact. When Ingram played the puck behind the net, lost the puck and Kadri scored into the open net just 39 seconds later for a 5-3 lead.
Toews padded the lead with a shot from the top of the left circle midway through the third.
KUEMPER HURT
The Avalanche goalie was hurt with 56.6 seconds left in the first period when Johansen’s stick caught him through the mask. Kuemper yanked the mask off and was down on the ice holding his head before skating to the locker room holding a towel to his face. He was 37-12-4 for Colorado during the regular season and won the first two games of this series.
ROOKIE GOALIE
Ingram became the first rookie in Nashville history to start a playoff game in Game 2’s overtime loss on Thursday night. His 49 saves tied for most by a goalie in his first postseason start in the last 10 years and tied for the fourth-most saves by a Predators goalie in franchise history in the playoffs. Ingram stopped 79 of 83 shots faced over the first two games of this series after coming off the bench.

The state government on Saturday flagged off 70 veterinary mobile clinics to provide round-the-clock emergency medical care to cattle.
Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Parshottam Rupala and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai launched the vehicles. Animal Husbandry Minister Prabhu Chavan said 275 mobile clinics would be rolled out and 70 have been launched in the first phase.
A similar project has been rolled out in Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Gujarat.
The mobile clinics can be accessed by calling up the toll-free 1962 emergency response centre.
For every call from a livestock owner, the basic details are gathered and they are passed on to the nearest mobile clinic.
The mobile clinic, comprising a veterinary doctor and an assistant, reaches the location of the caller and provides on-the-spot treatment to the sick cattle.

Because it’s so early in the climbing season, Matthias Rimml, a 35-year-old professional mountain guide from Tirol, Austria, was alone on the upper part of Denali, a 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain about 240 miles (386 kilometers) north of Anchorage. The climbing season usually runs from May through mid-July.
Other climbers and rangers are camped below the 14,000-foot (4,267-meter) level.
Rimml hadn’t been considered overdue compared to his planned return date and food and fuel supply, according to Denali National Park and Preserve officials. However, a friend who had been receiving periodic check-ins from Rimml contacted mountaineering rangers Tuesday after not receiving a call for days, officials said in a statement.
Park officials said Rimml was already acclimated to the altitude because of recent climbs. He had planned to climb Denali “alpine style,” or traveling fast with light gear. His goal was to make the summit in five days even though he carried enough fuel and food to last 10 days.
The average Denali expedition is 17 to 21 days for a round trip, with climbers making the summit on day 12 or 13, according to the National Park Service.
Rimml began his climb April 27 from the Kahiltna Glacier base camp at 7,200 feet (2,194 meters), officials said.
His last known call to his friend was on April 30, when he reported he was tired but not in distress. Rimml reported his location as just below Denali Pass, at 18,200 feet (5,547 meters) elevation on the West Buttress, the most popular route for Denali climbers.
On Wednesday, a pilot and mountaineering ranger in a National Park Service helicopter looked for Rimml. Intermittent clouds didn’t allow a thorough search, but they did not see any signs of him.
They saw his tent at 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) but didn’t observe any recent activity, the statement said. High winds and poor weather prevented the helicopter from landing at the campsite, but the helicopter returned Thursday when weather was better. Rangers confirmed Rimml hadn’t returned to the tent.
Clouds prevented the helicopter from flying above 17,200 feet (5,243 meters) on Thursday, but park spokesperson Maureen Gualtieri told The Associated Press a helicopter with two rangers aboard took off Friday morning from Talkeetna, the nearest community, to resume the search.
Rimml’s body was spotted in the fall zone below Denali Pass during the aerial search, park officials said Friday evening in a statement.
Rimml likely fell on the steep traverse between Denali Pass at 18,200 feet (5,547 meters) and the 17,200-foot (5,243-meter) plateau, a notoriously treacherous stretch of the West Buttress route, officials said. Thirteen climbers, including Rimml, have died in falls along that traverse, the majority occurring on the descent, the statement said.
Recovery efforts will not be attempted until an national park ranger patrol is acclimated to the high altitude.
Weather conditions on the mountain have been cold, which park officials say is normal this time of the year. Daytime highs have been around minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-3.89 degrees celsius) with winds at the two base camps registering up to 30 mph (48 kph). Five inches (13 centimeters) of new snow have fallen in the past week on the upper mountain.
On the website for his guide business, Rimml said he always has been close to mountains and nature.
He trained as a carpenter after receiving his high school diploma. In 2015, after he completed military service, Rimml switched to being a freelance ski instructor in Austria and outside Europe.
He became a professional mountain guide in 2015, the fourth generation of his family to do so, his biography states. His specialty was long, technically difficult combined tours. | https://www.kark.com/news/national/rangers-locate-climbers-body-on-alaskas-denali/ | 2022-05-08T01:13:34Z | https://www.kark.com/news/national/rangers-locate-climbers-body-on-alaskas-denali/ | true | 25 |
Nevada governor sets May 20 date to lift COVID-19 emergency
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak announced Friday he plans in two weeks to lift the state of emergency he declared during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement from his office, the Democrat who is running for a second term as governor credited the declaration with giving the state “flexibility ... to respond to challenges as they arose.”
He put a May 20 end date to the statewide emergency he declared on March 12, 2020, and said officials want to “ensure there is no gap in services when the emergency ends.”
Most measures, including business restrictions and mask mandates, have already been lifted.
But the statement noted that some measures are still in place, including waiving some licensing requirements for health care workers and an allowance for some doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians and medical students to care for COVID-19 patients.
“The State is working with the appropriate partners as the emergency order ends,” it said.
The first death in the state attributed to COVID-19 was reported March 16, 2020, just 11 days after officials said the first cases were found in Reno and Las Vegas.
As of Monday, the state Department of Health and Human Services reported 665,095 known cases of COVID-19, and 10,780 deaths. | https://kyma.com/dsw-living/health/2022/05/07/nevada-governor-sets-may-20-date-to-lift-covid-19-emergency/ | 2022-05-08T01:15:47Z | https://kyma.com/dsw-living/health/2022/05/07/nevada-governor-sets-may-20-date-to-lift-covid-19-emergency/ | true | 21 |
