WASHINGTON — For years, the United States has been drifting further apart, less a single country than an uncomfortable marriage of vastly disparate cultural and political entities, a Red America and a Blue America with starkly different realities on masks and vaccines, gun rights and voting rights, Donald Trump and the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
Now the chasm may open even wider. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, as it appears poised to do, all 50 states will suddenly be free to set their own rules, leading to one America where access to an abortion is guaranteed and another where it is outlawed — and, in some cases, helping someone cross state lines to obtain one could become a crime.
Already in the days since the leak of a draft ruling reversing Roe, governors and state legislators have rushed to define the values of their separate Americas. While California Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed to amend his state’s constitution to protect abortion rights, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed new legislation prohibiting abortion after six weeks. Calls for state legislatures to address the issue in special sessions proliferated on both sides of the divide.
The map showing both the states ready to ban abortions if the Supreme Court lets them and the states building protections for the procedure into their own laws looks strikingly familiar in this season of schism. It would fit neatly atop maps showing state policies on the pandemic or state crackdowns on critical race theory or, for that matter, the Electoral College map of recent presidential elections. The populous Northeast, mid-Atlantic seaboard and West Coast form one like-minded bloc, while the South and most of the Mountain West form another, with the Midwest split between them.
“It’s two different worlds — hostile, suspicious of each other and assuming bad intent,” said Mike Murphy, a veteran Republican strategist and co-director of the Dornsife Center for the Political Future at the University of Southern California, which has studied political polarization. “It’s become totally tribal. There are no opponents anymore. Everyone is an enemy.”
To the extent that President Joe Biden was elected promising to bring the country together, a hope that both liberals and conservatives considered naive, he appears to have put that pledge to the side, at least for now. In the wake of the leak of the draft abortion ruling, he has assailed the Trump faction of America in a way he has mostly avoided until now.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history, in recent American history,” Biden said this week.
Jen Psaki, his press secretary, reinforced that Friday, citing Republican efforts to outlaw abortion. “His view is that is another example of the ultra-MAGA agenda as well,” she said.
Biden still boasts of the bipartisan support he secured for last year’s public works spending package, as he did Friday in Ohio, where he praised U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, a retiring Republican, and recalled the days when senators from both parties could debate civilly. “Things have changed,” he said. “We got to bring it back.”
But aides noted that, with control of Congress on the line in this fall’s midterm elections, he had a responsibility to wage a vigorous campaign explaining to the public the consequences of changing parties on Capitol Hill.
The emerging White House strategy is to refocus attention away from high inflation by drawing a strong contrast with Trump’s party, warning that turning out Democrats will put Congress in the hands of the party of far-right figures such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a fiery, onetime QAnon follower known for making racist and antisemitic remarks and for casting doubt on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Conservatives quickly seized on Biden’s language this week to accuse him of betraying his own promises. “President Unity Declares War on Half of America,” Breitbart News, a far-right website, pronounced in a headline on a homepage that regularly wages war on the other half.
Five of the past six presidents talked about healing America’s divide without much success. George H.W. Bush called for a “kinder and gentler nation,” Bill Clinton promised to be the “repairer of the breach,” George W. Bush termed himself “a uniter, not a divider” and Barack Obama declared there was not a Blue America and Red America but “the United States of America.”
David Axelrod, who was Obama’s chief strategist, said if he could talk with himself in 2004, when the future president famously made that speech at the Democratic National Convention, he would say, “It’s harder than it looked.”
Society has only been torn further apart in the past 18 years, both by cultural shifts as well as by the political and financial incentives for exploiting divisions, he said. “The reversal of Roe would accelerate these divisions and widen that chasm in ways that seemed unthinkable in 2004,” Axelrod said.
Trump, of course, was the presidential outlier, the only occupant of the Oval Office in modern times who hardly even paid lip service to the notion of bringing the country together. Instead, he relentlessly promoted divisions, seeking to punish Democratic-voting states and describing Blue America as a dystopian hellhole for which he had no responsibility.
The United States has rarely been as united as its name; polarization has been part of the country’s DNA from the beginning, erupting most explosively in the middle of the 19th century over slavery and again in the middle of the 20th century over desegregation. But even so, the past couple of decades have seen a fragmentation that, by some measures, has been among the most pronounced in American history.
One study found that Democrats and Republicans in Congress are further apart ideologically than at any point in the past half-century. The public’s view of its presidents has grown more divided along partisan lines than at any time in the history of polling. House districts have grown so rock-solid liberal or conservative that only a few dozen will be truly competitive in this fall’s election.
“Really, in every area of politics, you see evidence of partisan polarization,” said Carroll Doherty, director of political research at Pew Research Center.
Increasingly, Americans are separating into their own safe spaces — geographically, culturally, ideologically, factually and metaphorically. Not only do they stick to news channels or social media accounts that reinforce their viewpoints, they choose to live among and socialize with those who share their opinions.
In 1960, 4% of Democrats and Republicans said they would be unhappy if their children married someone from the other party. Today, according to the Public Religion Research Institute, that number has grown to 35% among Republicans and to 45% among Democrats. Over the course of just four years, the Institute for Family Studies found, marriages in America between Republicans and Democrats fell by half. As it was, in 2016 only 9% of marriages involved couples from opposite parties; by 2020, that figure had slid to just 4%.
Lilliana Mason, a political scientist at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, said her research shows that Americans likewise do not even want to live next door to someone from the other party. “Our realities become different. The people we surround ourselves with have completely different narratives about what’s happening in America,” she said.
Daily Top Stories
Mason, who on Friday published her latest book, “Radical American Partisanship: Mapping Violent Hostility, Its Causes, and the Consequences for Democracy,” written with Nathan P. Kalmoe, said the fragmentation of abortion laws in a post-Roe America would only exacerbate those trends as people sought to live in states where they agreed with the new laws.
“The fact that we’ve physically moved away from each other allows us to hate each other more,” she said. “It’s easy to dehumanize someone you’ve never met. It encourages the us-versus-them sort of thinking that creates this dire stakes for elections — if they win the election, everything is over.”
Americans’ views of abortion are actually more nuanced than the black-and-white politics surrounding the issue would suggest. Today’s Republican candidates and officeholders are less willing to support exceptions for rape or even to protect the health of the mother, while today’s Democratic politicians are less likely to support limits on taxpayer funding for abortions.
But a new study released Friday by the Pew center showed that although a strong majority of Americans opposed repealing Roe, their attitudes fractured depending on the question. Only 19% supported abortion being legal in all cases, while 42% wanted it to be legal in most cases but would accept some instances when it would be illegal. Only 8% wanted it to be illegal in all cases, while 29% wanted it illegal in most cases but would accept some circumstances when it would be legal.
“This is an issue where there are some absolutists — people who say abortion should be legal in all places or abortion should be illegal in all places — but most Americans have less absolutist views on this,” said Jocelyn Kiley, Pew’s associate director of research.
Nuance, however, is not the order of the day. In Blue America or Red America, the loudest voices tend to dominate the conversation. The reversal of Roe, should it happen, presumably will fuel that trend. “It’s a really polarizing feeling,” said Mason. “It’s a massive disagreement that Americans are having right now.”

HMP Full Sutton inmates see their daily sugar rations cut from eight teaspoons to fewer than three
- Prison chiefs previously handed over 1kg of sugar per inmate each month
- But the authorities have decided that prisoners should go on a health drive
- A prison source said that the new limit ‘will be devastating news’ for inmates
Inmates at one of Britain’s toughest jails are furious after their sugar rations were cut.
The maximum security HMP Full Sutton near York, which holds some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, reduced the daily allowance from eight teaspoons to fewer than three.
Prison chiefs previously handed over 1kg of sugar per inmate each month. But the authorities decided that prisoners should go on a health drive and now 1kg is given out every three months.
A prison source said ‘this will be devastating news’ for inmates.
Prisoners at the jail include White House Farm murderer Jeremy Bamber and John Cannan, the only suspect in Suzy Lamplugh’s 1986 disappearance.

Al-Qaida chief blames US for Ukraine invasion in new video
Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri made an appearance in a pre-recorded video to mark the 11th anniversary of the death of his predecessor Osama bin Laden.
Al-Zawahri says in the video that “US weakness” was the reason that its ally Ukraine became “prey” for the Russian invasion.
The 27-minute speech was released Friday according to the SITE Intelligence group, which monitors militant activity. The leader appears sitting at a desk with books and a gun.
Urging Muslim unity, al-Zawahri said the US was in a state of weakness and decline, citing the impact of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan launched after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Bin Laden was the mastermind and financier behind the attacks.
“Here (the US) is after its defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan, after the economic disasters caused by the 9/11 invasions, after the Corona pandemic, and after it left its ally Ukraine as prey for the Russians,” he said.
Bin Laden was killed in a 2011 raid by US forces on his compound hideout in Pakistan.
Al-Zawahri's whereabouts are unknown. He is wanted by the FBI and there is a $25 million reward for information leading to his capture. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/alqaida-chief-blames-us-for-ukraine-invasion-in-new-video-101651970001816-amp.html | 2022-05-08T01:40:55Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/alqaida-chief-blames-us-for-ukraine-invasion-in-new-video-101651970001816-amp.html | false | 16 |
In the closest game of the year, Wilmington edged Franklin 12-10 Friday night in high school lacrosse action.
Nino Gonzalez and Cameron McVey had four goals each for the Hurricane.
“In the second half we began playing more as a team and capitalized with ball movement and interior shots,” WHS head coach Adam Schulz said. “The game provided unique challenges for both sides of the ball, but we were able to overcome the adversity.”
Logan Camp scored two goals while Austin Pagett and Jon Custis had one goal each.
McEvoy, Camp, Jude Martin, Jelanie Hunter and Eric Maus had assists for Wilmington, now 7-7 on the year. | https://www.wnewsj.com/sports/202754/whs-lacrosse-holds-on-for-12-10-victory | 2022-05-08T01:41:39Z | https://www.wnewsj.com/sports/202754/whs-lacrosse-holds-on-for-12-10-victory | false | null |

If you bought an Android device in 2020 or earlier, you might remember Google Play Music. It was a music/podcast streaming app from Google launched back in 2011. Google replaced it with YouTube Music in 2018.
If the discontinuation of Play Music has brought great sorrow to you, here are some of the best Google Play Music alternatives that you can try.
Best ‘Google Play Music’ alternatives
There are many premium music streaming apps/websites on which you can listen to high-quality music at affordable pricing. Here are some of the best Google Play Music alternatives.
1. Spotify
Spotify doesn’t need an introduction. It is the most popular music streaming platform globally, primarily due to the platform’s algorithm that recommends music based on your listening interests. You can listen to all your favorite artists either for free (with ads) or at $9.99 a month, which is quite affordable. Overall, it’s one of the best Google Play Music alternatives you can try.
2. YouTube Music
While YouTube Music’s popularity comes nowhere near Spotify’s, it’s still a massive improvement from Google Play Music. It comes equipped with almost all the features you’d expect from a music streaming app. Like Spotify, YT Music also comes with an algorithm that suggests music based on your listening history, which isn’t as good as Spotify’s but gets the job done.
Another drawback of the app is the quality of music. While Spotify offers “very high” quality at 320 Kbps, the maximum audio output of YT Music on “very high” settings is only 256 Kbps. If you’re someone who doesn’t like Spotify’s overall layout and wants to try out something else, YouTube Music is a great Google Play Music alternative that you can try. The subscription cost of YT Music is the same as Spotify’s ($9.99 a month).
3. Amazon Music
Amazon Music is another great contender in the music streaming industry. You can listen to music for free on the Amazon Music app even if you don’t have a Prime membership; however, you will have ads playing during music and limited feature. Prime membership includes an Amazon Music subscription which comes with ad-free music and some extra features, which should suffice for most users.
However, if you’re an audio nerd and want to go beyond Amazon Music Prime, there’s Amazon Music Unlimited, which brings more songs in FLAC/Lossless quality, more playlists, and the ability to play on multiple devices at once. Overall, it is one of the best alternatives to Google Play Music.
4. Apple Music
Apple launched the Apple Music app for Android in 2015, but the giant was always criticized for not focusing on removing bugs on the Android app. People believe that the reason behind that is Apple wants Android users to switch to iPhones. While that’s a topic for another article, Apple has improved it quite a bit over the past two years.
The app has a vast library of songs and comes with all the features you’d expect to have in a music streaming service. Overall, it’s the closest thing to Google Play Music and is one of the best alternatives to the same. You can view more details about the plans by visiting the official Apple Music website.
5. Tidal
One of the highlights of Tidal is its HiFi music listening experience. The HiFi plan lets you listen to up to 1411 kbps, whereas the HiFi Plus plan bumps the quality to 9216 kbps. We tried the free plan, and it had way too many restrictions (Limited song skips, lots of ads, limited overall features). Hence, we’d highly recommend going the premium way if you want to use Tidal.
The music library has over 80 million songs. Overall, if you’re an audiophile and absolutely don’t want to miss out on high-quality music, Tidal is your best choice, making it one of the popular Google Play Music alternatives.
6. Qobuz
Like Tidal, Qobuz also markets itself as one of the best applications for listening to audiophile-grade music. You can stream or download over 80 million songs on the platform. The app has two subscription plans—Studio and Sublime. The Studio plan comes with all the features at £10.83 a month, but Sublime offers an additional 60% off Hi-Res purchases for £15 a month.
The app is available on most platforms—Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS. However, its availability is limited as of writing this article.
7. SoundCloud
SoundCloud’s massive collection of libraries makes it an excellent alternative to Play Music or any other music streaming platform. If you’re a music enthusiast, SoundCloud’s colossal music library allows you to discover new music. And that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on music from artists you already listen to.
You can use a free account, but to unlock the true potential of the streaming platform, we highly recommend subscribing to premium, which starts at $9.99 a month.
Best ‘Google Play Music’ alternatives: Editor’s Choice
The services listed are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. However, out of all the platforms out there, these should give you the most value out for your money. If you’re a casual listener, Spotify remains one of the best music streaming options. If you don’t like Spotify, YouTube Music has got your back.
However, if you’re an audiophile with high-quality gear, look no further and get Tidal. If you’re a content creator and are searching for new, royalty-free music, SoundCloud is a great option.

The Texas Rangers have Dane Dunning listed as the starting pitcher for Game One of the doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Sunday, May 8. Glenn Otto, who was originally slated to pitch today, will start Game Two of the doubleheader.
After the doubleheader, the Rangers have Jon Gray listed as the likely start for Monday’s makeup game against the Yankees. Martin Perez is listed as the team’s starter on Tuesday against...the Royals, I think? (Goes and checks). Yes, its the Royals, who the Rangers start a three game home series against on Tuesday, May 10.
Taylor Hearn will presumably start on Wednesday. For Thursday’s game, however, the Rangers are going to have to figure something out, since the doubleheader on Sunday and the makeup game on Monday mean all of their five starters will have had less than four days rest on Thursday. Depending on how things go for Perez and Hearn, Texas could go with a bullpen game on Thursday, or they could call someone up from AAA to start Thursday’s game. If they go the AAA route, A.J. Alexy started yesterday, and thus would have five days of rest, so he would seem to be the most likely option. | https://www.lonestarball.com/2022/5/7/23061469/rangers-starting-pitchers-for-doubleheader-monday | 2022-05-08T02:06:32Z | https://www.lonestarball.com/2022/5/7/23061469/rangers-starting-pitchers-for-doubleheader-monday | true | 1 |

I had one relationship that lasted for eight years and I broke up as he cheated on me. I have fallen in love again after four years of being single. We’ve been dating for eight months and he’s really nice to me so far, but I keep worrying about him cheating on me. How do I deal with this?
Ans. A person's life choices may or may not align with our values. That is why it is essential to judge every situation and person with a fresh pair of eyes so that the metrics of what is comfortable or uncomfortable may be calibrated without bias. To be cheated on is decidedly disconcerting. I can understand that you have reservations based on being emotionally burned in the past. However, you must understand that your potential partner's proclivity for cheating needs to be assessed dynamically based on a variety of factors. A private assessment of how real and comfortable the relationship feels will need to ensue. Most people who cheat do so secretively and with great attention paid to any breadcrumbs they leave behind that may implicate them. This is why it is crucial to maintain an eye on the overall emotional health of both the individuals involved in the relationship. Sometimes, this may enlist the support of a psychotherapist who is able to look at a problem without prejudice and with a certain rehearsed academic curiosity. Currently, you don't have a real problem to deal with as the likelihood of him cheating or not still needs to be assessed. As far as the healing from the previous relationship goes, you need to give yourself time to understand what were the signs that you may have potentially ignored that could have given you an inkling that there was something amiss.
I am extremely attracted to my twin sister’s boyfriend and I am unable to get rid of this feeling. Since he’s always around for my sister, I can’t even avoid him. Should I speak to him about my feelings? Maybe he’s interested. Should I tell my sister? What should I do?
Ans. There's a heavy price to be paid when certain information becomes public knowledge. Telling your sister or her boyfriend about your attraction may incur their wrath and discomfort. A relationship is built when two consenting individuals work on it and tend to it with the utmost care, patience, love, trust, honesty, respect and sensitivity. You will have to prepare yourself to give some answers should you let this vicissitude of romance become a one-sided pursuit bordering on limerence. Everything attractive cannot be attained and if it is attained, the cost attached to attaining it may be both unpleasant, unbearable, or unpredictable. Your sister may see this as an act of betrayal or worse, an act of narcissism. This may change the dynamic between you two. Your assumption that he is interested needs to be based on facts rather than wishful thinking. Any revelations hinting at the same can potentially be cataclysmic and abrasive to the sisterly bond. Whatever you do, make sure that you understand that it is a right rope walk.

People celebrating abortions is "pure evil," Dr. Ben Carson told Newsmax on Saturday.
"All those responses of those people who celebrate killing babies, it's nothing but pure evil," Carson told "The Count" on Saturday, reacting to videos on social media of people saying having an abortion is something to celebrate and fetuses should be horribly killed. "It's antithetical to many of the principles of the founding of our nation where we respect life from the womb to the tomb."
A leaked draft of a Supreme Court ruling on an abortion case in Mississippi could overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion a right throughout the country.
In the draft opinion, which was confirmed as authentic, but not yet final by Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday, Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, said the court held "Roe and Casey (a similar challenge to abortion in 1992 that the court affirmed at the time) must be overruled."
"The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision," the draft ruling states. "Including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey rely – the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment."
The court, according to the draft opinion, will instead revert the issue back to the states to decide on.
Backlash from the draft document's release have caused a number of protests against the potential decision, including at the homes of the justices after their personal addresses were publicized, The Washington Post reported.
Carson said, if the roles were reversed, and conservatives were protesting in front of the homes of liberal justices, those on the left would be lamenting the end of the nation's democracy.
"I can only imagine what the left would be saying if there were people on the right who we're going to the homes of the [liberal] Supreme Court justices and making any kind of protest whatsoever," Carson said. "They'd be saying, you know, 'this is the end of democracy in America.'
"Such a double standard going on here, but I think we need to really stop and have real conversations with people instead of getting in our respective corners and throwing darts at each other."
Carson said there are alternatives to abortion, including adoption for people who want but cannot have families on their own.
"Sometimes the [pregnant] woman feels trapped and there are wonderful alternatives for people, and there are many people who want to adopt those babies," Carson said. "We should support them."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Wilmer Flores hit a grand slam in the first inning and matched his career high with six RBIs as the San Francisco Giants snapped out of their offensive funk and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 13-7 Saturday night to end a five-game losing streak.
On a day the Giants honored former catcher Buster Posey in a pregame ceremony, Mauricio Dubón and Darin Ruf also homered.
Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina reached 1,000 career RBIs. Dylan Carlson added a three-run homer, but St. Louis committed three errors and ended its three-game winning streak.
Logan Webb (4-1) struck out seven in five uneven innings to remain unbeaten in his last 17 starts at Oracle Park. He allowed four runs and eight hits while pitching around traffic most of the afternoon.
San Francisco had scored a total of five runs in its previous four games before jumping on Steven Matz (3-2) for three home runs in the first two innings.
Flores’ first grand slam since 2017 erased a 1-0 deficit and came after Matz walked two of the first three batters. Flores also had a sacrifice fly in the fourth and a bases-loaded walk in the eighth.
Dubón and Ruf each hit two-run drives in the second inning.
Matz was rocked by the Giants in his shortest outing of the season. The Cardinals left-hander allowed a career high-tying eight runs and five hits in three innings, raising his ERA to 7.01.
Molina's single in the second made him the eighth primary catcher in MLB history to reach 2,000 hits and 1,000 RBIs. The last to do it was Iván Rodriguez, who retired following the 2011 season.
POSEY’S DAY
Former Giants manager Bruce Bochy and home run king Barry Bonds were among those in attendance honoring Posey. Also on hand were former teammates Hunter Pence, Brian Wilson, Matt Cain and Bengie Molina, whose trade to the Texas Rangers in 2010 cleared the way for Posey to become San Francisco’s full-time starter behind the plate.
Molina wore a No. 28 jersey and thanked Posey for getting him a World Series ring, which the team awarded to Molina after its 2010 championship run. Molina then asked for, and received, a hug from Posey and had the five-time Silver Slugger autograph the jersey.
A lifetime .302 hitter who had 158 career home runs and 729 RBIs, Posey thanked the crowd and his former colleagues.
“I never thought this was about me,” said the 2012 NL MVP, “This was about me being a part of something.”
Posey’s two oldest children threw out ceremonial first pitches to their father.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: RHP Jack Flaherty (right shoulder) threw in the bullpen before the game for the first time since being shut down and going on the Injured List in spring training. … RHP Drew VerHagen was scheduled to make his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday night.
Giants: 1B Brandon Belt left in the eighth inning after appearing to injure his left shoulder or neck swinging at a pitch. Belt had come off the COVID-19 IL before the game. RHP Dominic Leone also returned from the COVID list. IF/OF Jason Vosler and RHP Sean Hjelle were optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
UP NEXT
Cardinls RHP Dakota Hudson (2-2, 3.16) starts the series finale Sunday. Hudson has two wins in four career appearances against San Francisco. The Giants have not named a starter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591364544379/winning-numbers-drawn-in-fantasy-5-double-play-game | 2022-05-08T03:53:35Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2591364544379/winning-numbers-drawn-in-fantasy-5-double-play-game | false | null |

Ghanaian rapper Kwesi Arthur says Ghana Premier League giant Accra Hearts of Oak SC’s anthem is the biggest thing to ever happen in Ghana.
The hitmaker revealed that he has been a fan of the 2000 CAF Champions League winners since childhood and still supports the the Rainbow Boys.
Asked whether if he will compose a song for the club, he stated that Hearts of Oak’s current song or anthem is the biggest in the country.
“Hearts of Oak already have a song. I don’t think there would be any song that will ever beat it. It’s a very spiritual song”, he told Happy FM.
“I have been a Hearts of Oak fan since young. We grew up in Tema Community 9. My dad supports Kotoko but in the area that I lived whenever Hearts of Oak is playing the vibe was something.
“I am not an active supporter but I still support it in my heart. Am ever ready to attend their games”, he added.
The young rapper recently released his long-awaited debut album, ‘Son of Jacob’, on the 22nd of April.
He featured acts like Teni, Vic Mensa, Joeboy, Adekunle Gold, and NSG, among others.

Three youths of Patna's Ram Krishna Nagar locality gang raped a 28-year old woman late on Friday night, an official said.
The victim is a local singer who performs in marriage, birthday and cultural functions in Bihar and a native of Jahanabad district.
As per her statement, three youths named Pintu Kumar, Sanjiv Kumar and Karu Kumar booked her for a marriage function.
"When I went to the marriage hall, I was shocked to see that there was no such function there. When I inquired about it to the accused persons who were present there, they pointed gun on me and dragged me inside a room. The accused raped me one by one. They have also captured the rape incident on the mobile phone," the victim said in the complaint.
"I somehow managed to escape from the clutches of the accused and ran into another room and locked it from inside. I immediately contacted the police control room and informed them about the incident," she said.
"We immediately reached the crime scene and rescued the victim. We have arrested three accused in this connection and also recovered a country made Katta and three dead cartridges from their possession," Ravi Ranjan, SHO of Ram Krishna Nagar police station told IANS.
During investigation, it appeared that Pintu Kumar was known to the victim. He has booked her for singing in the marriage function.
The medical examination of the victim has confirmed rape.
The accused are booked under section of 376 D (Gang Rape) of the IPC and 34 (Criminal conspiracy) arms act and other relevant sections of IPC, Ranjan said.

He considered leaving the horse business after tragedy struck. Now this trainer just won the Kentucky Derby
By Christina Maxouris, CNN
Nearly six years ago, Eric Reed almost called it quits from the horse training business.
A fire engulfed one of the barns at his Lexington, Kentucky, equine center, in the middle of a December night, killing 23 thoroughbred horses and causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
“When we drove up on that that night, I told my wife, I said, ‘we’ve probably lost everything,’ ” Reed recounted this week. “The next morning, when we saw the devastation … I just thought of all the years and all the stuff we had done to get this beautiful farm and to have this happen, that something might be telling me it’s the end of the line.”
That was 2016.
Reed didn’t give up, and with friends — and sometimes strangers — who showed up to help, he continued training. “I just decided, I wasn’t going to let it take me out.”
It paid off: Reed is now a Kentucky Derby winner.
Rich Strike, the horse he trains, entered as the biggest long shot in the race (80-1 odds) and surged forward in the home stretch to cross the finish line first with a 2:02.61 time.
The victory was all the more stunning because Rich Strike wasn’t even in the field until Friday, when derby officials announced another horse pulled out. Reed told reporters he brought his team down a few days before the race, on the possibility the horse might get a chance to run, to begin preparing “against all odds.”
“Nobody thought we could get in,” he said. When the horse came in first place, Reed almost passed out. Rich Strike is his first winning horse in the derby.
“Everybody would love to win the Derby. I always would, but I never thought I would be here, ever,” Reed said.
Venezuelan jockey Sonny Leon, in his first Kentucky Derby, rode Rich Strike to the surprise victory. Rich Strike is owned by RED TR-Racing, LLC, according to the derby’s website.
The next leg of the coveted Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes, will be run at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 21.

75% of Hiring Managers Believe Hiring is Only Going to Get Harder
New data from Greenhouse reveals 84% of hiring managers are experiencing burnout because of the current job market
Almost three-quarters (74%) of companies plan to give their staff salary increases this year
NEW YORK, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greenhouse Hiring Manager Report, a new survey of over 1,500 hiring managers and c-suite executives, has revealed that 75% of respondents expect hiring to become even more challenging for the remainder of 2022. An overwhelming majority (84%) of hiring managers are experiencing burnout due to the tight job market. The survey also found that over three-quarters of hiring managers believe that candidates are more demanding in terms of the benefits they expect, leaving companies to play catch-up.
New data from Greenhouse reveals 84% of hiring managers are experiencing burnout because of the current job marketKey findings of the survey showed the main stressors for both hiring managers and their companies:
- The primary contributors to increased stress levels in hiring managers are:
- sourcing the right talent (41%)
- candidate drop-offs due to competing compensation packages (26%)
- an unstructured, ineffective hiring process (16%)
- While the biggest challenges facing their companies when recruiting are:
- creating an employer brand that stands out from competitors (55%)
- recruiting talent for niche roles and markets and (42%)
- being one-upped on offer packages in a climate with highly competitive salaries, benefits and sign-on bonuses (35%)
"When 88% of managers are experiencing pressure in achieving their goals because of hiring, you can be sure this represents business risk. People-first companies have understood that hiring is a business-critical function – and it needs to be structured, measured and continuously improved on. Winning companies are focused on building a culture of hiring throughout their organizations in order to manage the challenges with hiring right now," said Daniel Chait.
There was positive news for employees with the results showing that 74% of companies plan to give staff salary increases this year. Most respondents attributed company performance (36%) to this, however, a significant number (21%) also cited the impact that inflation or the general rise in the cost of living is having on wages and employee demands. Figures from the report show that 54% of companies will increase salaries by at least 10% this year, while 15% of companies are expecting to increase their salaries by at least 20%.
The findings did highlight a troubling discrepancy between the perception hiring managers have of applicant experiences and the reality for job seekers. According to the findings, over 90% of hiring managers say they are proactive in providing feedback to candidates, with 32% saying their organizations always try to provide feedback. However, more than 75% of job seekers stated they were ghosted following an interview, according to the Greenhouse Candidate Experience Report released in February.
With high levels of vacant roles attributed to the "Great Reshuffle", companies are increasingly looking at their own internal talent pool to fill roles. The survey shows that the highest source of talent for companies is internal promotions and transfers (48%).

Ben Stokes, England's new Test captain, has confirmed that Joe Root will move back to No. 4 in the order when the team returns to action against New Zealand next month. Root, Stokes' predecessor who stood down after five years in the role, had moved up to No. 3 for England's most-recent series, a 1-0 defeat in the Caribbean. Root averages 51.27 at four, almost 12 runs higher than his mark at first drop - despite scoring two centuries in six innings against West Indies. He shuttled up and down at various points during his captaincy, but Stokes revealed that he had already spoken to Root about his plans for the batting order as England seek to revive their fortunes in the longest format.
"I've already spoken with him. I've asked him to go back to four and I'm going to be at six," Stokes revealed. "Wherever Joe bats, he gets runs, but his best position is at four. I feel him at four and me at six gives us a bit of experience in the gap. So, you can obviously see where the places are opening up for people to put their hands up: it's three and five." "I feel him at four and me at six gives us a bit of experience in that gap. So you can obviously see where the places are opening up for people to put their hands up: it's three and five. "I now feel I have to follow a lot more of the county games now to see who is scoring runs rather than just checking the Durham score."
On the bowling front, Stokes suggested that England had "exciting" options, and that he intended for the best XI to be selected at all times. It has already been confirmed that James Anderson and Stuart Broad will be in contention after missing the Caribbean tour, while Ollie Robinson made a wicket-taking return for Sussex this week. Sam Curran has also been eased back into first-team action for Surrey, but England's quicker options, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Olly Stone, remain in the treatment room. "You look at the players who aren't available through injury - Wood, Archer, Stone, Curran - they'd all be seriously fighting for places," Stokes said. "Then you place them among Broady, Jimmy, Robbo, Woakesy … it's so exciting to think about the team we could put out there if we don't have any injuries. Unfortunately we do. We just have to pick the best XI we have to choose from and I'll always make sure we do that. "Stokes has only just returned from a knee injury and began his season with a record-breaking 161 off 88 balls for Durham this week. | https://www.lokmattimes.com/cricket/news/ben-stokes-reveals-joe-root-will-bat-at-four-in-tests-a475/ | 2022-05-08T04:28:51Z | https://www.lokmattimes.com/cricket/news/ben-stokes-reveals-joe-root-will-bat-at-four-in-tests-a475/ | true | 1 |

A much missed Warwickshire village pub is set to get a new lease of life after being taken over for refurbishment by a local pub company. Peach Pubs recently announced that it has taken over The White Lion in the village of Radford Semele near Leamington Spa, making a major investment in the business to bring a popular local pub back to the community.
Peach is an award-winning pub company with a track record of running gastro pubs, mainly in market towns in the heart of England. For the last twenty years it has been operating in Warwickshire where it has four other pubs including its very first, The Rose & Crown in Warwick, the original Peach pub which opened in 2002.
Peach has already started work on a complete refurbishment of The White Lion to put the heart back into the pub, highlighting all the original features and giving the interior and exterior a new look. The design will be sensitive to the historic thatched pub whilst being exciting and contemporary.

There will be cosy snugs for drinking and dining, with varied tables and a mix of colourful patterned fabrics and sumptuous velvets. A modern garden room with feature artwork and bi-fold doors will open onto a newly landscaped garden with a glorious covered pergola, lounging sofas and dining tables, just in time for summer.
The pub will serve a menu of seasonal dishes including steaks and seafood, classic gastro pub favourites, specials that change daily as well as weekend treats and Sunday roasts.
“The White Lion is a beautiful, old pub in a beautiful village, and we are lucky to call it one of ours,” says Peach Partner, Sarah Robinson. “Since taking it on, we have got to work to give it the attention it deserves, to make it a great pub for everyone in the village to enjoy as well as guests from further away.
“The refurbishment is making good progress. We shall re-open the doors in early Summer and can’t wait for the moment to come when we can welcome people back. In the meantime, we are recruiting and are looking for enthusiastic people to join our team in a variety of front and back of house roles.
“Peach is one of the UK’s Top 25 Best Companies to work for. We train and support our teams, offering plenty of scope for career development, good rates of pay and an equal share of tips.
“We provide a safe, respectful, inclusive environment where you can thrive and excel in your career. Get in touch to find out more about the roles on offer at The White Lion, or any of our Warwickshire pubs.”

Cypress Hill “Come With Me,” Tink & 2 Chainz “Cater” & More | Daily Visuals 5.3.22
Cypress Hill has been rocking in the rap game for longer than most rappers today have been alive so it’s only right that we tip our hats to the OG stoners who helped pave the way for weed themed rap music.
Keeping their love affair with Mary Jane going strong all these decades later, Cypress Hill releases some new visuals to “Come With Me” in which we’re taken back in time to a prohibition era where marijuana became the drug of choice while liquor was banned across the U.S.
Back in 2022, Tink decides to get a little seductive with it and in her 2 Chainz assisted clip to “Cater” gives her boo a private strip tease before Chainz gets turnt and takes over the party.

'I looked at my bats and asked, 'who's going to give me runs?': Rovman Powell shares story about his poor IPL 2022 start
West Indies' star Rovman Powell has produced scintillating performances with the bat for the Delhi Capitals in the past few games. In his past four games, Powell has registered scores of 36, 33*, 35 and 67* while largely batting at the lower-middle order. In DC's last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Powell was promoted at no.5 and he scored his first half-century of the edition, forging an unbeaten 122-run stand with David Warner. (Follow IPL 2022 Coverage)

However, Powell had endured a poor start to his maiden Indian Premier League season. He had scored only 31 runs in the first six games put together before finally getting back to run-scoring in the season.
During a candid conversation on The Grade Podcast, Powell funnily narrated how he expressed his frustration at the bat after the string of failures in the first three games of the season.
“In the first three games of the IPL, I didn't get many runs. (Moreover), I didn't get runs with the bat that I score so many runs. I was in my room, I put them (the bat) back on the bed and I said, 'you're going to disappoint me in the IPL. What are you doing?'” Powell said, inducing laughter from David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, who were also a part of the conversation.
Powell further revealed that after another low score, he kept the bat aside and picked a different bat.
“I said ok, I'm playing in the next game and I'm giving you one more chance. I get one ball against RCB (in fifth game of the season - dismissed on 0), and when I went back to the room, I just put them (the bat) on the bed and I said, 'I'm gonna give you a little break'. And I looked on the next 4-5 bats that I have and I said, 'who's going to put up their hands and give me some runs?'” said Powell.
“I just take one and flip the script!"

ASHBURN, Va (WDVM) — Friday afternoon was the media’s first look at the Washington Commanders newly drafted rookies.
Before Day 2 of rookie minicamp, head coach Ron Rivera spoke to the media, and was already impressed with his rookies. One of the surprising rookies he spoke about, was sixth round pick Cole Turner, the tight end from Nevada.
“Cole Turner is going to wow a lot of guys,” said Rivera. “Just because of his athleticism and his size and his ability to run. He’s a guy that’s going to help us.”
After practice, Turner was told about Rivera’s thoughts.
“It feels awesome,” said Turner. “It feels like I’m in the place I’m supposed to be in, and I’m really lucky to have a coaching staff that’s backing me.” | https://www.localdvm.com/nfl/ron-rivera-impressed-with-te-cole-turner/ | 2022-05-08T04:49:47Z | https://www.localdvm.com/nfl/ron-rivera-impressed-with-te-cole-turner/ | true | null |

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — More than three decades after a largely peaceful “People Power” revolt overthrew Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, his son and namesake has emerged as the top contender in Monday’s presidential election based on most voter-preference surveys.
Here are some key facts about the major issues, the leading candidates and election concerns:
WHAT’S AT STAKE
If Ferdinand Marcos Jr. triumphs, it will be a stunning reversal of the 1986 pro-democracy uprising that booted his father out of office into global infamy. Many Filipinos remember the human rights atrocities and plunder that unfolded under his dictatorship and would likely push back against any perceived threat to democracy or Marcos Jr.'s attempt to recover his family's assets that were seized by the government as ill-gotten wealth.
The winner stands to inherit immense problems, including an economy battered by the coronavirus pandemic, deeper poverty and unemployment, hyperinflation due to skyrocketing oil and gas prices, decades-old insurgencies and inflamed political divisions. Outgoing populist leader Rodrigo Duterte's successor also likely faces calls to prosecute him for his bloody crackdown on illegal drugs that has left thousands of mostly poor suspects dead and alarmed the international community. The International Criminal Court has been investigating the killings as a possible crime against humanity.
___
FERDINAND MARCOS JR.
A former provincial governor, congressman and senator, the 64-year-old son of the late dictator is waging the most impressive attempt yet of the Marcos family to recapture the presidency. His mother, Imelda Marcos, twice unsuccessfully attempted to retake the seat of power after returning with her children to the Philippines from exile in the United States, where her husband died in 1989.
Marcos Jr. has defended his father’s legacy and steadfastly refuses to apologize for and acknowledge the atrocities and plunder during the dictatorship. Married to a lawyer, with whom he has three sons, he has stayed away from controversies, including a past tax conviction and the Marcos family’s refusal to pay a huge estate tax. Throughout his campaign, he tenaciously stuck to a battle cry of national unity. He denies accusations that he financed a yearslong social media campaign that harnessed online trolls to smear opponents and whitewash the Marcos family’s checkered history, daring critics to “show me one.”
___
LENI ROBREDO
As an economics student at the state-run University of the Philippines in the 1980s, Leni Robredo joined the massive protests that led to the ouster of the elder Marcos. The 57-year-old also took up law and successfully ran for a seat in the House of Representatives in 2013 in her first foray into politics after her husband, a respected politician, died in a plane crash in 2012. She defeated Marcos Jr. in the 2016 vice presidential race with a narrow margin in their first electoral faceoff. Her advocacies center on defending human rights and empowering the poor partly by teaching them their legal rights.
The daughter of a trial court judge, Robredo does not belong to any of the prominent families that have dominated Philippine politics for generations, and is running as an independent propped by a network of campaign volunteers. As the opposition vice president, who was separately elected from Duterte, she condemned the killings of mostly poor drug suspects as part of his crackdown, angering the brash-talking leader and straining their ties for years. The mother of three has been cited for her integrity and a lifestyle that shuns the trappings of power — she used to regularly travel alone by bus to her home province as a congresswoman.
___
OTHER CONTENDERS
Eight other presidential aspirants have lagged far behind in pre-elections surveys, including Manny Pacquiao, the 43-year-old former boxing star, who vowed to build houses for the poor and lock up corrupt politicians in a “mega-prison.” Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, a 47-year-old former TV heartthrob, banked on his rags-to-power life story and public awe over his massive cleanup of the capital. Sen. Panfilo Lacson, a 73-year-old former national police chief, has promised to continue exploiting his investigative skills to expose major government corruption.
___
SECURING THE VOTE
Aside from the presidency, more than 18,000 government posts will be contested in the elections, including half of the 24-member Senate, more than 300 seats in the House of Representatives, as well as provincial and local offices across the archipelago of more than 109 million Filipinos. About 67 million have registered to cast their ballot during the 13-hour voting starting at 6 a.m., an hour longer than the midterm elections in 2019 to compensate for slower queues due to social distancing and other coronavirus safeguards.
Thousands of police and military personnel have been deployed given longstanding risks posed by communist and Muslim rebels and a history of often bloody family and political rivalries in rural areas. In 2009, gunmen deployed by the family of southern Maguindanao province’s then-governor massacred 58 people, including 32 journalists, in an attack on an election convoy that shocked the world. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Dictator-s-son-rights-lawyer-vie-for-17157184.php | 2022-05-08T04:51:28Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Dictator-s-son-rights-lawyer-vie-for-17157184.php | false | 49 |

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 54th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, 8 May.
After a five-match winning run in IPL 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad have stumbled to a couple of losses. Despite their poor recent form, SRH are still in the mix for a playoff spot and will look to return to winning ways sooner rather than later. They face Royal Challengers Bangalore, who have shown glimpses of what they are truly capable of doing. While their batting unit continues to struggle for consistency, their bowling attack will be key today. With both teams eager to boost their playoff chances, an intriguing game beckons in Mumbai.

Date and Time: 8th May 2022, 3:30 PM IST
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
SRH vs RCB Pitch Report
The pitch at Wankhede has been a touch sluggish in recent matches. Although the bowlers are likely to get ample help off the surface, the dimensions of the ground go against them. Wickets in hand will be key, with the surface easing out a touch as the match progresses. With this being a day game, the pitch shouldn't change much. Teams have preferred to chase upon winning the toss, but batting first might not be a bad option given the setting of the game.
Today’s SRH vs RCB Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran comes into this game on the back of consecutive fifties, both in losing causes. However, Pooran's intent and explosive ability makes him a noteworthy option in the middle overs. With Dinesh Karthik likely to bat only in the backend of the innings, Pooran should get the nod in your SRH vs RCB Dream11 Fantasy team.
Batter
Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli, since returning to the top of the order, has shown signs of returning to form. Although he hasn't looked at his best, Virat's numbers and undeniable ability make him a good option for your SRH vs RCB Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell is one of the best players of spin in the world, with the Australian showing glimpses of his ability in IPL 2022. In addition to his big-hitting prowess, Maxwell adds value with his off-spin, making him one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a decent outing against the Delhi Capitals (DC), holding his own in both the powerplay and death overs. In the likely absence of T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar's wicket-taking ability will need to come to the fore. With the veteran in decent form, he can be backed to pick up a wicket or two today.

Which bone conduction headphones are best?
When walking around the street or at the gym, being aware of the surroundings can be incredibly important for safety. At the same time, listening to music or podcasts can be a big part of daily life. Bone conduction headphones offer the best of both worlds, allowing a user to comfortably listen to whatever they want while still hearing everything around them. By sending vibrations into specific jawbones, bone conduction headphones can offer high-quality sound while still leaving the ears open to hear the sounds in the room or outside. However, knowing which pair is right for the user can be a hard task.
Features to consider before buying bone conduction headphones
Sound quality
One of the biggest differences between more traditional headphones and bone conduction headphones is the sound quality. Because bone conduction headphones bypass the eardrum entirely and give off sound through vibrations, the sound quality will not be at the same level as a regular pair. However, that does not mean that some pairs offer better quality vibrations than others.
Durability and comfort
The largest market for bone conduction headphones comes from active users that need to be aware of their surroundings as they listen to music. As a result, almost all pairs of bone conduction headphones are rather durable. Paying attention to the water and sweat resistance of the pairs is still a major concern as well as the actual strength of the headphones.
Battery life
Most pairs of bone conduction headphones are wireless for a better range of movement and easier transport. As a result, battery life is a very important factor. Much like wireless earbuds, bone conduction headphones generally have a battery life between 6 hours and 8 hours, depending on the model and brand.
Built-in microphone
One of the biggest points for many pairs of wireless headphones today is versatility. Having a built-in microphone can allow a user to take a hands-free phone call without needing to stop what they are doing. Many pairs of bone conduction headphones come equipped with an integrated microphone.
How much you can expect to spend on bone conduction headphones
Much like any other pair of headphones, there is a large price disparity between several different types of bone conduction headphones. Bone conduction headphones can go anywhere from below $50 to well over $150, depending on the brand and quality.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A post-pandemic glut of delayed cases has exposed shocking constitutional landmines impacting defendants and crime victims alike in Oregon, a state with a national reputation for progressive social justice.
An acute shortage of public defenders means at any given time at least several hundred low-income criminal defendants don’t have legal representation, sometimes in serious felony cases that could put them away for years.
Judges have dismissed nearly four dozen cases in in the Portland area alone — including a domestic violence case with allegations of strangulation — and have threatened to hold the state in contempt.
“We’re overwhelmed. The pandemic is exposing all the problems that we have,” said Carl Macpherson, executive director of Metropolitan Public Defender, a large Portland nonprofit public defender firm. “It just became abundantly clear that we are broken.”
Public defenders warned the system was on the brink of collapse before the pandemic and some staged a walkout in 2019. But lawmakers didn’t act and then COVID-19 shut down the courts. Now, the system is “buckling before our eyes,” said Kelly Simon, legal director for the Oregon American Civil Liberties Union.
The crisis in Oregon, while extreme, reflects a nationwide reckoning on indigent defense, as courts seek to absorb a pandemic backlog of criminal cases with public defender systems that have long been underfunded and understaffed. From New England to New Mexico to Wisconsin, states are struggling to keep public defender services running.
Maine this month earmarked nearly $1 million to hire that state’s first five public defenders, with a focus on rural counties, after relying entirely on contracts with private attorneys until now.
In New Mexico, a recent report found the state was short 600 full-time public defenders. In New Hampshire, where an estimated 800 defendants were without attorneys, state lawmakers in March approved more than $2 million to raise public defenders’ salaries. And in Wisconsin, where starting pay for public defenders is $27 an hour, there’s a shortage of 60 attorney positions statewide.
“This is America’s dirty little secret: Thousands of people in courtrooms all across the country go to jail every single day without having talked to a lawyer,” said Jon Mosher, deputy director of the nonprofit Sixth Amendment Center.
An American Bar Association report released in January found Oregon has 31% of the public defenders it needs. Every existing attorney would have to work more than 26 hours each week day to cover the caseload, the authors found.
“It’s horrifying. I don’t want to mince words about this. I am not going to make excuses for this,” said state Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, who co-chairs the state Legislature’s Ways and Means committee. ”That being said, we can’t manufacture attorneys out of thin air.”
For victims, the situation is devastating and it’s hurting the most vulnerable.
Cassie Trahan, co-founder and executive director of an Oregon nonprofit that works with teen and young adult victims of sex trafficking, said trust in the judicial system is fading, especially in minority and immigrant communities. Victims no longer want to come forward when they see cases being dismissed or ending in weak plea bargains to relieve pressure on the courts.
One such victim in a pending trafficking case “lives in constant fear that it’s going to be dismissed,” Trahan said.
Prosecutors can get an indictment from a grand jury when cases are dismissed for lack of a public defender and police will re-arrest the alleged perpetrator — but that’s small consolation to victims.
“In her mind, it’s like, ‘Now I’ve outed myself, now I’ve talked against him and what’s going to happen if he gets off?’” Trahan said of the victim. “That’s what we’re seeing more of, especially in communities of color and groups that don’t trust the judicial system anyway.”
The Legislature recently approved $12.8 million in one-time funding for the four hardest-hit counties, as well as a suite of legislative reforms. New contracts coming this summer will institute lower attorney case caps. And lawmakers are withholding $100 million from the agency’s budget until shows good faith on numerous reforms, including restructuring, financial audits and performance metrics.
A working group of all three government branches will convene this month to begin tackling a “comprehensive and structural modernization” of the system.
Autumn Shreve, government relations manager for the state Office of Public Defense Services, said the pandemic finally forced the hand of state lawmakers who haven’t taken a close look at public defenders in nearly 20 years.
“It’s been a rag tag group of people trying to cover the caseloads year-to-year and because of that there’s been a lot of past papering over of problems,” she said.
Meanwhile, the situation in the state’s courtrooms is dire.
Often those going without attorneys are charged with heinous crimes that come with hefty prison sentences if convicted, making it even harder to find public defenders qualified to handle such complex cases. And those who handle misdemeanors are often young attorneys carrying 100 cases or more at a time.
“You can’t keep everything in your head when you have that many clients at the same time. Even things like, you know, ‘What’s your current plea offer?’ I can’t remember that for 100 people. Or I can’t remember, ‘What exactly does the police report say?’ said Drew Flood, a public defender at Metropolitan Public Defender.
“This is the scariest thing they have going on in their life,” he said.
Other public defender services, including private investigators and legal advisors, have also reached a breaking point.
Renardo Mitchell, who is jailed on attempted murder charges, chose to represent himself after he said he didn’t hear from his public defender for five months. The legal advisor assigned by the court to help him hire expert witnesses and file motions died suddenly in February and he’s been without legal counsel since then.
Two years after his arrest, he still hasn’t seen all the discovery in his case, said Mitchell, 37. His public private investigator — Mitchell’s only connection to his proceedings — recently had to petition the court to get more paid hours developing evidence for his defense.
“We’re all innocent until proven guilty. Nothing has been proven yet — I haven’t been found guilty,” said Mitchell, who faces more than 22 years in prison if convicted. “Even if I did those things that they allege, I still have a right to due process of law. ”
The chief prosecutor in Portland has become an outspoken advocate of public defender reform for that very reason.
“The most important thing is everybody has a right to an attorney, it’s a constitutional right,” said Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schmidt.
“It’s an ecosystem, like a coral reef. If you take away one aspect of this system, then all the other aspects fall apart."

Former Papa John's CEO: Jerry Jones Wanted Me To Get Roger Goodell Fired
Former Papa John's CEO John Schnatter recently came forward with some wild claims about Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Schnatter suggested that Jones and Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder came to him in an attempted to get Roger Goodell fired. As one of the largest endorsements the league had at the time, Jones and Snyder felt like Papa John - as he affectionately known - could help get rid of Goodell.
“Snyder and Jones hate Goodell,” Schnatter said. “I said, ‘No, this is not my job to fire your Commissioner. He works for you.’ Remember, Goodell is a coward, and he is incompetent. And he’s just lucky."
Here's more of what Schnatter said, via Pro Football Talk:
Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, Indra Nooyi [former CEO] with PepsiCo, and Dan Snyder all called me — several other folks — about Goodell’s conduct and the way he was handling this. Jones and Dan Snyder . . . wanted Goodell fired. This is like . . . the first of November, end of October. They called and said, ‘You need to take this guy out. You’re the number one sponsor of the league, as far as notoriety and acceptance and association. Everybody loves you, they love Peyton [Manning, a Papa John’s franchisee and sponsor]. We hate Goodell.'”
Instead of getting rid of Goodell, the NFL signed the longtime commissioner to a new lucrative contract extension in 2017.
Earlier this offseason, he and the NFL were reportedly in talks on a new contract extension as well.
It seems like he's not leaving the commissioner's office any time soon. | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/former-papa-johns-ceo-jerry-jones-wanted-me-to-get-roger-goodell-fired | 2022-05-08T05:01:29Z | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/former-papa-johns-ceo-jerry-jones-wanted-me-to-get-roger-goodell-fired | true | 1 |

The fastest two minutes in sports delivered a thrilling finish on Saturday with Rich Strike completing the second-biggest upset in Kentucky Derby history.
The thoroughbred entered the race as an alternate and joined an elite club of horses that have shocked Churchill Downs.
Here are some of the racing horses that overcame the odds to win the sport’s biggest race, the Kentucky Derby.
Donerail (1913)
Odds: 91-1
The 39th winner of the Kentucky Derby earned his roses. While Donerail had shown promise in the year leading up to the Derby, owner Thomas P. Hayes required some convincing to make the trip to Louisville. Once at Churchill Downs, they stabled Donerail at Douglas Park due to overcrowding and required him to walk the three miles on dirt and cobblestone on the day of the race.
Hayes, focused primarily on the financial payouts, reportedly told jockey Roscoe Goose to get a piece of the purse by crossing in one of the top-5 spots. Goose and Donerail certainly got a piece, passing the favorites, Ten Point and Yankee Notion.
Triple Crown
Catch all the excitement of the Triple Crown of Horse Racing
Rich Strike (2022)
Odds: 80-1
Forty-eight hours before the race, Rich Strike was nowhere near the conversation of Kentucky Derby champions. In fact, he wasn’t even in the same race. As fate would have it, Ethereal Road scratched and that opened the door for Rich Strike and trainer Eric Reed.
Unlike some years, the favorites -- Epicenter and Zandon -- finished second and third, respectively, but didn’t have an answer for Rich Strike down the stretch. This upset delivered a $163.60 payout.
Country House (2019)
Odds: 65-1
Country House’s run was historic in more ways than one. Not only did he overcome insurmountable 65-1 odds, but his victory marked the first time in the 145-year history of the Derby that the horse to cross the finish line first -- Maximum Security -- did not in fact win.
In the immediate aftermath of the race, an objection was raised against Maximum Security, accusing him and jockey Luis Saez of interfering with several horses down the final straightaway. While Country House was not one of the impacted horses, he crossed the finish line second and earned the win with the disqualification of Maximum Security.
Mine That Bird (2009)
Odds: 50-1
The first time Mine That Bird was mentioned in the race was near the midway point, when NBC announcer Tom Durkin noted he was “well behind the rest of them,” sitting in a distant last place. What transpired was one of the greatest comebacks in Derby history.
Down the final straight, Mine That Bird came seemingly out of nowhere to position himself along the inside of the track and charge past the field to claim the largest margin of victory in over 60 years.
Giacomo (2005)
Odds: 50-1
Owned and bred by music executive Jerry Moss, Giacomo had done little to suggest that he was ready to compete among the heavyweights. He entered the Kentucky Derby with only one win to his name, secured at a maiden race, he hung with a field that went out at blistering pace. He gained speed down the stretch and pulled out in front of a three-horse photo finish.
Charismatic (1999)
Odds: 31-1
One of the more bittersweet stories in horse racing, Charismatic nearly completed the Triple Crown, but fell short with an injury at the Belmont Stakes and never raced again.
His journey, however, began in Louisville, overcoming 31-1 odds. He and jockey Chris Antley strategically navigated the field and came out victorious.
After winning the Preakness Stakes, Charismatic gained favorite status heading into the Belmont Stakes. He led down the stretch and seemed poised to capture the third and final piece of the Triple Crown before pulling up with an apparent injury and finishing third. The image of Antley cradling his leg to prevent further injury was famously etched in the lore of horse racing as what could have been.
Thunder Gulch (1995)
Odds: 25-1
Another thoroughbred that came just shy of Triple Crown glory, Thunder Gulch won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes in 1995. While his victory at Churchill Downs was considered a fluke by some, he backed it up with a win in New York and narrow loss in Baltimore.
Animal Kingdom (2011)
Odds: 21-1
The 2011 Kentucky Derby was a meeting of the most unlikely odds for thoroughbred Animal Kingdom and jockey John R. Velasquez.
In the leadup to the Derby, Velasquez was informed that Uncle Mo, a leading contender, would not race as he recovered from a stomach infection. Meanwhile, trainer Graham Motion was forced to sit Toby’s Corner and turn all his attention to Animal Kingdom, the underdog of the two options.
These obstacles brought the two sides together in a race that would jump start Velasquez’s legendary career. He said he felt comfortable right out the gate and rode that confidence to the finish line.
Velasquez won the Derby three more times in 2017, 2020 and 2021. However, his 2021 victory with Medina Spirit was later vacated after the horse tested positive for Betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory ointment banned beyond therapeutic purposes.
War Emblem (2002)
Odds: 21-1
Before there was Animal Kingdom, there was War Emblem.
Jockey Victor Espinoza’s first introduction with the horse came on the day of the race, but that didn’t keep the duo from winning the 128th Running of the Roses. They jumped out to an early lead and held off challengers.
Espinoza won the Kentucky Derby two more times, in 2014 with California Chrome and 2015 with American Pharoah.
Lil E. Tee (1992)
Odds: 17-1
The prize-winning horse, nicknamed E.T., came from humble beginnings, overcoming numerous health issues including an immune deficiency, a bad case of colic and an emergency surgery that nearly killed him.
He ended up in the care of Cal Partee and picked up several impressive wins en route to the Kentucky Derby. At Churchill Downs, he overcame a stacked field that included Arazi, frequently compared to Secretariat. | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/triple-crown/what-is-the-biggest-upset-in-kentucky-derby-history-heres-where-rich-strike-ranks/2779804/ | 2022-05-08T05:11:41Z | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/triple-crown/what-is-the-biggest-upset-in-kentucky-derby-history-heres-where-rich-strike-ranks/2779804/ | false | 10 |

25 flamingos, 1 duck dead after fox attack at Smithsonian National Zoo
WASHINGTON ( WDVM ) — Smithsonian National Zoo staff found something no zookeeper ever wants to find when checking in on the flamingo flock on Monday morning: officials said 25 flamingos and o ne Northern pintail duck were killed after a wild fox broke in.
Staff found the dead flamingos early in the morning on Monday and saw the fox, who escaped, in the outdoor flamingo yards. The surviving flamingos were moved into a barn, and the ducks were moved to a “covered, secure outdoor space.” Three injured flamingos were taken to the zoo’s vet for treatments.
“Devastating. No question,” said Senior Curator Bryan Amaral. “In our business, it’s something that you never want to see. Now that we’ve seen it, we never want to see it again.”
$300 rent increase shocks Knoxville man as rates rise across the USThe statement said that staff had last inspected the outdoor yards on Monday at 2:30 p.m. This inspection did not find any areas of concern, but a new inspection Tuesday morning found a “new softball-sized hole” in the mesh around the yard. This mesh was last replaced in 2017.
They said that the mesh around the yard has been reinforced and live traps and digital camera traps have been set around the yard.
“This is a heartbreaking loss for us and everyone who cares about our animals. The barrier we used passed inspection and is used by other accredited zoos across the country. Our focus now is on the well-being of the remaining flock and fortifying our habitats,” Brandie Smith, John and Adrienne Mars director for Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, said in a release.
“It’s pretty sad that the animals were supposed to be safe here in their habitat but got attacked by some of the wild animals anyway,” resident Joanna Hwu said.
Indiana woman dies after offshore plastic surgeryThe flock previously had 74 birds and has been at the Zoo since the ’70s. The Bird House has been closed to the public due to major renovation. According to the Smithsonian, the median life expectancy is 26 years, but their ‘matriarch’ — who passed away in February of this year — lived until 67.

Is Ukraine Conducting A Sabotage Campaign Inside Russia?
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published May 08, 2022 | 10:20 AM
Washington, May 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th May, 2022 ) :A deadly fire at an aerospace research institute in Tver, northwest of Moscow. Another blaze at a munitions factory in Perm, more than 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) to the east. And fires in two separate oil depots in Bryansk, near Belarus.
Coincidences, or a sign that Ukrainians or their supporters are mounting a campaign of sabotage inside Russia to punish Moscow for invading their country? Since the blaze at the Central Research Institute of the Aerospace Defense Forces in Tver on April 21, which killed at least 17 people, social media has leapt on every report of a fire somewhere in Russia -- especially at a sensitive location -- as a sign that the country is under covert attack.
No one is claiming responsibility, but analysts say at least some of the incidents, particularly those in Bryansk, point to a possible effort by Kyiv to bring the war to their invaders.
In a post on Telegram, Mykhaylo Podolyak, a senior advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, called the fires "divine intervention.""Large fuel depots periodically burn... for different reasons," he wrote. "Karma is a cruel thing."

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — For the past 17 years, Tolerance Week has engaged area eighth-grade students with the horrors of the Holocaust.
By this fall, students and their families may be able to learn about the Holocaust throughout the year, and in a more interactive way.
In October of last year, Tolerance Week organizers, in partnership with the Sioux City Railroad Museum, purchased a replica railroad boxcar, similar to the ones used to transport victims of the Holocaust during World War II.
It will be part of a continuous exhibit entitled “Holocaust Rails: Desperate Passage,” according to Tolerance Week board member Kelli Erickson.
“The railcar was moved into its bay earlier this week,” Erickson said last week at the museum, 3400 Sioux River Road. “When work is completed this fall, the railcar will vibrate electronically, giving visitors a sense of what prisoners felt in transport.”
The exhibit will be coming during what Tolerance Week board member Lou Ann Lindblade described as a “transitional” time for the organization.
“The Holocaust is part of the curriculum for many Siouxland middle schools and we’ve been able to provide an entire week on activities every spring,” she told the Sioux City Journal.
That included special guests and film presentations at the Orpheum Theatre, 528 Pierce St.
Concerns over COVID-19 forced organizers to cancel the event in 2020. Events were held virtually last year.
Lindblade said this year’s activities were originally slated to go on as planned from May 2 - 6.
Unfortunately, German-born author and Terezin Concentration Camp survivor Inge Auerbacher, who was slated to speak, canceled her engagement due to persistent back and leg pain.
“Inge made a trip back to Germany earlier this year,” Lindblade said. “It was her first major trip since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The trip aggravated Inge’s back and leg pain. So, she decided not to travel at this time.”
Instead, Sioux City’s Tolerance Week events will be kept to a minimum this year.
Eighth grade students from Sioux City Community Schools, Siouxland Christian School, Hinton Middle School, Sgt. Bluff-Luton Middle School, St. Augustine, Holy Cross and Vermillion (S.D.) Middle School planned to travel to the Orpheum to view “Nicky’s Family,” a 2011 documentary detailing Nicholas Winton, who helped to organize the rescue of 669 children just before the outbreak of World War II.
In addition, an invitation-only banquet for entrants of the Tolerance Week essay contest and the Ella Holtzen Memorial Art Contest (named after the 2016 art contest winner who died in 2020 car accident) will be held.
The theme for the essay and art contests is, how we can live a more tolerant life, improving our part of the world, according to a Tolerance Week social media post.
“There won’t be any other events this year,” Lindblade said, “and none will be open to the general public.”
However, the opening of the Holocaust Rails exhibit at the Sioux City Railroad Museum, later in 2022, will completely change the course of Tolerance Week.
“We’re looking forward to field trips, not just from Siouxland schools,” Erickson explained. “We’re hoping that schools from as far away as Sioux Falls and Omaha will see the exhibit.”

Rasmussen Sees 'Window Of Opportunity' For Finnish, Swedish NATO Membership
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published May 08, 2022 | 10:00 AM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 08th May, 2022) Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says that the time for Sweden and Finland to join the military alliance is now, while Russian President Vladimir Putin is "preoccupied" with Ukraine.
"As far as Finland and Sweden are concerned, I think there's a window of opportunity for (the) two countries to join, exactly now because Putin is preoccupied elsewhere. He can't do anything about it," Rasmussen told CNBC on Saturday.
He warned that it could take "months" for the accession procedures to be completed since the parliaments of NATO's 30 member-states will all need to ratify the accession protocol.
"It will take some months and during that period both Finland and Sweden could potentially be exposed to Russian intimidation or even threats, and that's why we have to guarantee their security," Rasmussen said, "as if they were already members of NATO.
"
Finland and Sweden started discussing the possibility of abandoning long-term neutrality and joining NATO amid the Russian military operation in Ukraine. The head of the alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, said in March that NATO would gladly welcome Finland and Sweden and could fast-track their membership applications if they decided to join.
The US expects Sweden to present its formal application to become a full member of NATO by the end of June, while Finland could decide on accession already this month.

The grandfather of the modern microbrewery movement, Fritz Maytag, once mused that “one day, there will be a brewery in every town in America,” recalled Steve Hindy, co-founder of Brooklyn Brewery.
On a recent coast-to-coast road trip, Hindy stopped through a handful of the nation’s 9,200 breweries and found Maytag’s prediction may have nearly come true.
“I can’t tell you how proud it made me to see the quality of the brewing and the commitment to community,” Hindy said Tuesday during the Craft Brewers Conference in Minneapolis. “We all worked hard to make that happen.”
But can it last?
Despite claiming a record share of the $100 billion American beer market last year — 27% of all dollars spent on beer went to craft brewers — growth has slowed, a tell-tale sign of a maturing market.
New beverage competitors are claiming shelf space. And the aftershock of the pandemic is still being felt.
“I want to highlight for the hundredth time, this isn’t a bubble bursting,” said Brewers Association economist Bart Watson. “But demand for the segment as a whole does not guarantee demand for individual businesses. ... Only 30% of brands are growing right now.”
Watson told many of the 10,000 people gathered for this week’s Craft Brewers Conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center the industry has matured to the point that brewers need to focus on their brand, establish their niche and keep pace with changing demographics.
“When you’re thinking about what’s going to grow, think about your brand and what’s going to make your brand grow,” he said.
Breweries keep opening in more corners of the country and have nearly doubled in number since 2015. Still, the amount of beer produced by craft breweries has not yet recovered to the high-water mark set in 2019. And large regional brewers comprise a majority of that production. In Minnesota this includes brands like Surly, Schell’s, Castle Danger and a few others.
Meanwhile, the growth of alcoholic seltzers and ready-to-drink canned cocktails — referred to as a “fourth category” competing with beer, wine and spirits — has seen explosive growth in recent years.
That presents an opportunity for some — many brewers now offer seltzers in taprooms and in stores — but overall it presents a threat to the industry: “If these trends continue, beer is not going to be the number one beverage in the United States,” Watson said.
Over the past two years, the craft beer industry was kept afloat by $1.5 billion in coronavirus relief funds, and demand for beer at home helped keep many breweries in business. That major demand shift from taprooms to cans caused a shortage of aluminum cans and other supply-chain headaches, driving up prices.
“We’ve lost some breweries, and I don’t believe that’s over,” said Garrett Marrero, Maui Brewing Co. CEO and chair of the Brewers Association board. “Out of the ashes of the pandemic, we have an opportunity to break from the status quo to rebuild our industry.”
Marrero said that craft beer drinkers crave creativity and innovation — and quality above all.
“If you’re not making great beer, you’re not doing anyone any favors,” he said. “Invest in your quality.”
Watson said the state of the industry is a “pint glass that’s half full or half empty.” Brewers that respond to consumer demand and cultivate strong brands will see the most success in the coming years.
“A more mature market forces us to think about the customer more and find niches where we can grow,” Watson said. “There are only so many consumer dollars, distribution trucks and retail shelves.” | https://www.nny360.com/artsandlife/lifestyle/craft-beer-growth-slows-as-industry-matures/article_b6a6c5e3-9e12-551d-8e0e-a432e83f01cd.html | 2022-05-08T05:41:15Z | https://www.nny360.com/artsandlife/lifestyle/craft-beer-growth-slows-as-industry-matures/article_b6a6c5e3-9e12-551d-8e0e-a432e83f01cd.html | false | 8 |

A pitcher’s duel broke out in Atlanta, with the Braves' Max Fried coming out on top and ending the Brewers' win streak, 3-2. Corbin Burnes recorded his 5th quality start in a row, giving up just one hit and striking out seven. Fried was one better, going seven innings giving up just one run, and striking out eight.
Burnes was in command most of the night. His lone mistake came in the fifth when Ronald Acuña Jr. took him yard for his second home run in as many nights. It was a no-doubt, 420-foot home run to give the Braves a 1-0. The Braves would get another one on the board the following inning thanks to a two-base fielding error by Lorenzo Cain to start the inning. Ozzie Albies was able to drive in Marcell Ozuna, who was on third due to the error, to extend their lead to 2-0. Burnes ended up going six innings, lowering his overall ERA to 1.37.
Out of character from the Brewers these past few weeks, they struggled to score runs. They were held scoreless until the seventh when Hunter Renfroe crushed his 6th home run of the year into the Braves bullpen to make it a 2-1 deficit. Tyrone Taylor added a run in the ninth to drive in Yelich, who opened the inning with a double. They had their chances but could drive them in when it mattered. They ended the game with four men left on base.

— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) May 8, 2022
Struggling to get much off of Fried, the errors in the field and on the bath paths were detrimental to any comeback effort. As mentioned earlier, a Cain misplay in center field turned a man on first into a man on third. The next batter, Albies, rocketed one off the glove of Tellez to drive in the run. On the bath paths, they were caught stealing twice, both times ending the inning. In the second, Hunter Renfroe got on with a walk but ended the inning trying to advance to second. And then in the ninth, with the winning run at the plate, Tyrone Taylor got caught stealing in a strike them out, throw them out double play to end the game.
Luis Perdomo made his Brewers debut following Burnes’ exit. The right-hander was solid in his debut, going two innings and giving up just two hits, but one run that would be the difference. In the 8th, Travis d’Arnaud drove in Austin Riley on a two-out base hit to center to make it a 3-2 game.
The Brewers get the chance to start another win streak tomorrow afternoon, with the first pitch being at 12:35 CT. Aaron Ashby will get the start against Charlie Morton.

Miata or GTI? Our Favorite Used Cars on Carvana for Less Than $18,000
It’s never been more difficult to find a good used car, but we found a few gems online.
I'm going to share an embarrassing fact with you. Even though I make a living writing about the automotive industry, I have never owned a car. I've spent my life getting around on two wheels. Finally, that's about to change. The problem is that this might be the worst time in history to buy a used car. In order to get a closer look at what's really out there, the writers at The Garage trawled Carvana to find our favorite used cars for less than $18,000.
A shortage of parts, mainly computer chips, means that used car prices are astronomical. So, to say we've brought you bargains that are tempting us to dip into our savings would be untrue. But if we had to buy a used car today and our budget was $18,000, these are the models that would get our money.
As you'd imagine, the team takes buying cars pretty seriously. Jonathon Klein needed a second computer monitor for the number of browser tabs he had open for his top picks. I'm particularly vested in this piece because I'm in your shoes. Let's get to it.

When you see a Miata in this condition, not much needs to be said. It's a two-door, rear-wheel-drive convertible, famed for its engaging drive and responsive handling. The peppy 2.0-liter inline-four doesn’t make a ton of horsepower, but that's part of the fun. This way you can get involved with its crisp five-speed manual transmission without license-losing speeds. And it’s a Mazda, meaning it’s a sports car you can drive every day without worrying too much about it breaking down. If something does go wrong, parts are plentiful, especially aftermarket performance ones.

Look, I can’t go five seconds without recommending a GTI to somebody. The newer cars are out of the price range, but this sixth-generation car is still modern, fast, and fun. I also own one.

There’s history here with me and this model Volkswagen Touareg, a memory from my first few years doing this whole car journalism thing professionally. If you want the story, which I can’t repeat in public, buy me a beer one day and I’ll tell you the tale. This one is a VR6-powered model and looks impeccably clean, even with nearly 100,000 miles on the clock.

I’m confused, y’all. I don’t think I’ve ever taken Carvana’s “deals” seriously because I’m too much of a skinflint. To me, there are no damn deals. Still, if you must buy something from this high-ass place, I’ve always had a soft spot for these backward-baseball-cap-looking Mini coupes. This one’s the S model with the six-speed manual. Should be a ton of fun for a somewhat reasonable price, at least reasonable-ish considering the dealership.

I am always on the lookout for a good truck at a bargain price, and this 2.9-liter inline-four Canyon is a sweetheart. According to Carfax, the truck had one owner for all of its nearly 12 years, someone who drove it an average of only about 8,000 miles annually. The owner kept it registered and serviced regularly, which is a good sign the pickup was loved.
Tony Markovich
2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
- 80,247 miles
- $17,990
New-age crossovers, SUVs, and wagons can feel big and bulky, especially when driving in a city, but the Golf SportWagen offers a nice compromise of compact practicality. Its Golf spirit and a manual transmission add some fun to the mix, and the turbo four-cylinder will help keep gas stations at a distance. Regular maintenance and a clear title ease the mind as well.
Hank O’Hop
2010 Dodge Dakota Big Horn Extended Cab
- 58,330 miles
- $17,990
There are a lot of great vehicles on Carvana, but this Dakota is the only one that really spoke to me. I owned two of the previous generation, and I have a lot of love for them. The drivetrain is rock solid, it gets decent gas mileage for a V8, and the truck is just the right size for hauling the typical gearhead goodies. Just keep an eye on rust and keep that undercarriage clean.
Andrew Collins
- 74,964 miles
- $17,990
This prompt has taught me two things about Carvana: First, its search filter for "manual transmission" is broken (bummer) and second, this is definitely not the cheapest place to find a car (sorry). However, it is neat how you can spin the vehicle images 360-degrees and the delivery option does seem convenient. All that said — this Accord coupe would probably carry you back and forth across the country or across town reliably and relatively comfortably. Plus, it looks quite fetching.

THEY left me for dead,” declared Boris Johnson as the local council results rolled in.
But the PM was not referring to the net loss of nearly 400 Conservative council seats in a terrible night for the Tories but his garish portrait of the Queen compared to those paintings of the five-year-olds sitting around him during a primary school visit.
As the fog clears on the elections, the picture reveals varyingly good performances for the opposition parties across the UK but a generally bad one for the Conservatives.
Normally in council elections, those parties which gain seats have a tendency to overstate their position while those who have lost seats tend to understate theirs. The truth lies somewhere in between.
And, of course, one key factor has to be borne in mind: fewer citizens bother to vote in local elections than in a general one; the very fact of not voting is seen as a protest by many people. In some areas barely a third or even a quarter of the electorate often turn out.
Perhaps surprisingly then in the Downing St bunker, the PM was said to be “buoyant”. Despite a raft of bad results, including the loss to Labour of totemic councils like Wandsworth and Westminster, one No 10 insider noted with relief: “The sky hasn’t fallen in.”
On Tuesday, Johnson will seek to draw a line under the May 5 poll and look to the future with the Queen’s Speech. He believes, outwith London, people are “sick and tired of the Westminster bubble,” and his overriding aim is to see them through the cost-of-living crisis with a bid to “grow and strengthen the economy”.
Yet, there is clearly an undercurrent of deep unease flowing among Conservatives in the so-called “blue wall” seats after a series of losses across Somerset, Oxfordshire, Surrey and Kent. As people are set to see inflation rise to 10%, calls are growing for Chancellor Rishi Sunak to pull his finger out and cut taxes.
Arguably the biggest story south of the border was that the yellow peril of the Liberal Democrats is back on the rise.
The minds of Tory MPs are being concentrated. One observed: “What these results show is southern England is now very dicey territory for the Conservatives. In London, you are looking down the barrel of a gun.”
As Conservative backbenchers continue to contemplate whether to ditch their leader, a Machiavellian theory is doing the rounds, that Johnson is considering urging people to call for a snap confidence vote in the hope he will win it, which would mean there could not be a challenge for another year under party rules.
Given just 12 months between May 2023 and the next scheduled election, his leadership into it would be virtually assured. Another suggestion is Johnson might even cut and run for a 2023 election; which would be a very high stakes gamble.
What will strike many ears as remarkable, was Nadhim Zahawi, the loyal Cabinet minister’s insistence that his boss “absolutely” remained an electoral asset.
The Tories’ poor performance was nowhere better illustrated than in Scotland, where the SNP, after 15 years in government, had its best showing and Scottish Labour revived, pushing the Conservatives into third spot.
Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross, having flip-flopped over Johnson, made clear partygate had been a big factor in the Conservatives’ poor performance in Scotland and insisted Boris “simply can’t ignore the message that’s been sent from voters”.
For a “bit of fun,” Sir John Curtice, the eminent psephologist, extrapolated what the council results could mean for the General Election, suggesting Labour would become the biggest party and could, helped by the Lib Dems, just about form a majority government.
While neither Keir Starmer nor Ed Davey are talking pacts, one will be formed, officially or not, because it could be the only way to stop a fifth consecutive Conservative win.
The Labour knight hailed his party’s result as a “massive turning point” but his joy was cut short by Durham Police’s post-poll announcement that, following “significant new information,” it was taking another look at his late night curry and beer.
The Tory tabloid campaign, branding the ex-DPP a law-breaking hypocrite, seems to have paid off; for now. However, Starmer remains adamant he did not break Covid rules.
The police’s conclusion is due next month but in the meantime all eyes will be on Scotland Yard and whether any more fines will be heading towards Downing St. Publication of the eagerly-awaited Sue Gray report into partygate can’t be far off now either.
If all this isn’t bad enough for the Government, there was the result in Northern Ireland. As I write, it was on course to create history by giving Sinn Fein a majority in Stormont while the DUP is refusing to form an executive because of the running sore that is the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Talk will increase about a border poll on a united Ireland and Sturgeon yesterday insisted that Sinn Fein’s performance showed there were “big questions” around the future of the UK “as a political entity”.
Yet there is no prospect of a referendum anytime soon and if one were to be held in the coming years, chances are there would be a Unionist majority against unification.
Arguably, the biggest story of the Northern Irish poll was the rise of the cross-community Alliance Party; perhaps a generational shift is finally beginning to happen there.
However, the pictures in Johnson’s head are not about constitutional matters but his own survival and the linked cost-of-living crisis, which will increasingly dominate the domestic agenda in the run-up to the next election.
While the Conservatives have a decision to make on their leader, Labour’s has to find a way to win back many of those “red wall” seats north and south of the border that will give him a chance of getting into Downing St.
Momentum is a key factor to achieving success in politics. At present, it’s with everyone but Boris.

Riding a pink wave, this woman is the last barrier to a Marcos return in the Philippines
Manila: As an aspiring scientist, Glenn Gamus has taken an evidence-based approach to determining his vote in Monday’s Philippine presidential election.
For him, the outcome is clear. Leni Robredo, the country’s vice-president, and not frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos jnr.
“We based our decisions on facts and there are so many of them that back up Leni’s candidacy,” said the 25-year-old from Manila, one of hundreds of thousands gathered in the metropolis on Saturday night for Robredo’s last pre-election rally.
“She has the best track record. She’s an economist so just that background, as well as her experiences, wins all our votes. She towers over the other candidates.”
As many as 67 million voters in the Philippines will go to the polls on Monday to choose a successor to President Rodrigo Duterte, whose single six-year term, the constitutional limit, is almost up.
Surveys have indicated Marcos, the namesake and son of the country’s former dictator, is poised to win, possibly even with a historic majority.
But as central Manila turned pink, Robredo’s chosen colour for her presidential run, on the final day of the campaign, his only genuine challenger was not giving up hope.
Promising Filipinos they would be “freed from the government people who are trying to stamp on you”, Robredo was feted by as many as 800,000 supporters in the streets of the capital, organisers and local media reported, although numbers could not be verified.
“We will give every peso so that our lives will be better,” said the 57-year-old former human rights lawyer, who narrowly defeated Marcos in the separate vice-presidential race in 2016.
“Don’t be afraid because we are many. Thank-you for joining me to fight for our country.“
As vice-president Robredo fell out with Duterte after criticising his war on drugs. Now vying for the top job she finds herself against a powerful Marcos-Duterte alliance, with the president’s daughter Sara the prospective VP on the favourite’s ticket.
Robredo lost her husband Jesse, a former cabinet minister, in a plane crash in 2012, and she was introduced on Saturday night by her three daughters after the youngest, 22-year-old Jillian, sang to the huge crowd.
“Red tagged” as a communist sympathiser during the campaign and the victim of other disinformation tactics, Robredo has tried to combat Marcos’ potent social media machinery with an army of volunteers making house-to-house visits. She has also pledged more transparency in government in the Philippines, where corruption has been so entrenched for decades it’s become a way of life.
“She’s the cleanest of all the candidates. She has proven time and time again that she is a woman of integrity,” said Timothy Blandura, a 24-year-old IT worker at the Robredo rally with his brother Tam, 17, and parents Teodulo, 64, and Esperanza, 53.
Teodulo, a trainer of electrical linemen, said he has told his sons about the era of rule under Ferdinand Marcos snr, which was marked by rights abuses and the alleged fleecing of as much as $US10 billion ($14 billion) before the family fled into exile in Hawaii when he was deposed in 1986.
“[Marcos jnr] is also liable. He is one who took advantage of the ill-gotten wealth. He is a beneficiary,” Teodulo Blandura said.
“The blood of Marcos is in him. He is the son. We have a saying in the Philippines: whatever the tree, so is the fruit.”
Appearing on stage with his wife Liza and three sons, Marcos also drew an enormous audience for his last campaign outing in Manila’s bayside Paranaque City on Saturday. His team reported the crowd was a million strong, a figure that could also not be confirmed.
The setting for the feverish gathering on a dirt block of reclaimed land was a far cry from that of Robredo’s rally on the streets of the capital’s financial district.
But it was representative of a contest that has emerged in some ways as a clash of class, with Robredo a champion of the educated and middle class and Marcos harnessing broad support across those on lower incomes and the poor.
Analysts say his appeal is based on the presentation of his late father as a great statesman to a public unhappy with years of rule by the Liberal Party, who they identify with elites and oligarchs.
Political commentator Edmund Tayao said Duterte’s triumph in 2016 demonstrated voters were tired of an “elite brand of politics” and polling suggested Robredo’s team would pay the price for looking down their noses at those in the Marcos camp.
“When they campaign they present themselves as if they are the only ones who are competent, the moral choice, and all the other choices are bad,” Tayao said. “Instead of convincing other voters who are not necessarily with them from the very start, it turns off the voters really.”
Robredo is running as an independent, not for the Liberal Party, as she did six years ago. But she still chairs the party, so there is no escaping the affiliation.
Mark Janson, an 18-year-old first-year student at Cavite State University south of Manila, admitted he had been left disillusioned by the Robredo team’s approach.
“I also attended some Leni rallies,” he said at the Marcos event. “The problem is when I attended and she had campaign rallies like this, all she did was to speak bad about Bongbong. But she’s never actually talked about what her plan is.”
Josie Cosa, a retiree from Las Pinas outside Manila, is behind Marcos “because of his heart”. “I’ve felt his love for our country,” she said. “To have a peaceful country you have to be unified … especially the rich people, the oligarchs.“
But English teacher Hannah Macatao, a Robredo devotee, believes many on the Marcos side are “actually allergic to facts now”.
“It’s frustrating to us because we’re not voting [for Leni] just because we like the candidate,” the 25-year-old said.
“We’re doing this for everyone with all the colours, it’s not just pink. It’s red, blue, whatever the colour of the politician is. Our vote is for the Philippines, it’s not for ourselves.”

Back in March 2021, this column raised the alarm about stagflation. It brings me no pleasure to say this, but now it is coming to pass.
The Bank of England last week issued a ghastly set of economic forecasts, suggesting households face a record squeeze on living standards. As surging prices outstrip wages, the threat of recession looms.
In a grim assessment, the Bank slashed growth forecasts while predicting that double-digit inflation will eat into consumer spending power and curtail corporate investment. As such, the economy will stall and then start shrinking, with GDP contracting 0.25pc in 2023, recovering just 0.25pc the following year.
The UK last endured prolonged stagflation – the combination of high inflation and stagnant growth – in the 1970s. That caused economic and political carnage, as militant trade unions demanded huge pay rises and society became a lot more fractious.
In a bid to slay the dragon this time around, the Bank last week raised interest rates 0.25pc to 1pc – a 13-year high. That’s too little too late. For the reality is that, for more than a year now, Threadneedle Street has kept its head in the sand, deriding those of us who warned serious price pressures were coming and worried aloud about quantitative easing (QE).
Getting control of inflation will now mean interest rates go higher, and stay high for longer, than would otherwise have been the case – causing much more pain to millions of households. That’s because the Bank, itself now predicting headline inflation of 10pc, five times its 2pc target, must rebuild its shattered credibility.
No one is saying that monetary policy is easy – not least given successive Covid-era lockdowns and geopolitical upheaval. But it’s time for the Bank to admit, as it attempts to restore its reputation as a inflation-fighting institution, that serious mistakes have been made.
For it was clear, early last year that inflation would become a major problem as the UK emerged from lockdown. Last March, crude oil was already at $70 a barrel, 90pc up over the previous 12 months. With labour costs rising sharply across Asia, it was evident, as I wrote last March, “that the age of cheap Chinese goods is over”.
More specifically, there was an obvious danger, even then, that “as Britain emerges from lockdown, a wall of pent-up demand is set to burst upon an economy, parts of which will struggle to respond ... That’s why I worry inflation could soon surge”.
Whatever the views of any media columnist, market signals were also flashing red. Back in March 2021, the 10-year yield on UK government debt had tripled over little more than a month. Across the world, supply-chain issues were intensifying, with shortages of wood, semi-conductors, electrical and mechanical equipment and other vital components set to stoke inflation for months to come.
By May last year, the United Nations’ FAO global food prices index was up 40pc on a year earlier. That same month, copper hit $10,000 a ton, having doubled in a year, with the price of other industrial metals like cobalt and nickel also soaring.
Also in May, the five-year “breakeven” rate – the gap between returns on nominal and inflation-adjusted government bonds – was four times wider than in May 2020, an almighty warning sign of serious inflation down the track. Global steel prices then soared above $1,000 a ton, having more than doubled over the previous 12 months.
Yet these clear-as-a-bell indications were dismissed as “inflation alarmism” by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey. “Our view is price pressures will be transitory,” he said, as late as last September. The following month, consumer price index inflation hit 4.2pc, up sixfold since the start of 2021 and more than double the Bank’s target.
The UK policymaking establishment now blames war in Ukraine for this inflationary spike, but that simply won’t wash. Back in January, CPI inflation was already at 5.5pc, a 30-year high – the month before Putin invaded. Petrol averaged £1.45 a litre during the first month of this year, 25pc up on January 2020, with household energy bills already some 30pc higher.
Even now, the huge 54pc average rise in utility bills we’ve seen since April doesn’t include the impact of Russia’s invasion on wholesale energy prices. The Ofgem energy price cap which this rise reflects was set in early February – again, before the Kremlin made its move.
And, yes, food prices have soared since Russia invaded, with the FAO global index up some 13pc in March alone, given the pivotal role of Russia, its ally Belarus and Ukraine as exporters of food and fertiliser. But retailers have yet to pass on much of the impact of these rises. So, again, it would be wrong to blame our current inflation predicament – with the CPI rising 7pc during the year to March, the highest since the early 1980s – on geopolitical factors.
Having said that, war in Ukraine clearly now seriously complicates the Bank of England’s task of regaining control of inflation. That makes the need to regain credibility even more pressing. So it was disappointing the Monetary Policy Committee didn’t vote to follow the Federal Reserve’s example of raising rate by 50 basis points, rather than just 25. The US central bank also moved to rein in its QE programme last week, something else the MPC failed to do.
The Bank of England expanded its balance sheet some £450bn during lockdown, more than during the entire previous decade. And while pre-pandemic QE stayed largely within the banking system, its Covid-era equivalent was injected directly into the economy, used to fund government spending on furlough and other lockdown measures. As such, it is far more inflationary.
“Andrew Bailey mocked our report,” says Michael Forsyth, who chaired a 2021 Lords committee that concluded QE was “a dangerous addiction”. He now says the Bank has been “ostrich-like, steeped in groupthink and has done much to create this crisis”.
Again, no one is saying monetary policy is easy. But over the last year and more of complacency, the Bank of England has made its task much tougher – and that will hurt us all. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/05/08/bank-england-repeatedly-failed-spot-glaring-signs-inflation/ | 2022-05-08T06:15:55Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/05/08/bank-england-repeatedly-failed-spot-glaring-signs-inflation/ | true | 1 |
Nashville edged the Norfolk Tides 1-0 Saturday night in a pitchers’ duel that involved eight people, including five from the Sounds.
A huge crowd by Triple-A standards, 9,555, came to First Horizon Park in Tennessee.
In the eighth inning, Nashville broke the deadlock when Brice Turang drove in Pablo Reyes by grounding a single to center field. That saddled Mike Baumann with the loss despite his three strikeouts in two innings.
The Tides (14-15) fell to 2-3 in an International League series whose finale is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The Sounds, the Milwaukee Brewers’ top farm club, climbed to 19-9.
Jahmai Jones batted 3 for 4, but catcher Adley Rutschman’s single and Richie Martin’s double were the only other Norfolk hits.
Alex Jackson opened the decisive eighth with a single and went to third on Reyes’ single. Baumann then briefly foiled the Sounds, tagging out Jackson on Andruw Monasterio’s fielder’s choice and striking out Jonathan Davis. But Turang then came through for the Sounds.
Grayson Rodriguez, the Baltimore Orioles’ top pitching prospect, made another encouraging start. He worked the first 5 1/3 innings, striking out five, walking three, yielding just two hits and picking Davis off first base. Isaac Mattson pitched two hitless innings of relief.
Nashville starter Dylan File pitched the first five innings, and Luke Barker, Thomas Jankins, winner Miguel Sanchez and Hobie Harris maintained the shutout with an inning apiece.

By Peter Ryan
Essendon president Paul Brasher backed coach Ben Rutten when he spoke at the pre-game function at Marvel Stadium, hours before the undermanned Bombers roared home in the final quarter to upset Hawthorn in a much-needed boost for the club.
Brasher revealed Rutten and football manager Josh Mahoney had been grilled at a board meeting held last Wednesday about the football program and the team’s performance in the opening seven rounds, a period that yielded just one win.
He said the club was not going to bow to pressure and conduct a review during Rutten’s second official season as coach, reminding those at the president’s function the coach had taken a young team to the finals in his first season after succeeding John Worsfold as coach.
“We are not doing a review, but we are constantly examining and challenging every aspect of our football program, being brutally honest about where we are falling short and looking for ways to improve, not just in the short term, but as a basis for the team we are building,” Brasher said.
He said that Rutten and Mahoney had outlined some of the adjustments they were making to the program, describing them as not dramatic but ones “aimed at getting the players to play with the same confidence and flair they showed last year.”
Despite losing five players in the 24 hours leading into the game through illness, the Bombers showed that flair and resilience to put in a much improved performance, kicking 8.2 in a dramatic last quarter to run out 27-point winners over the Hawks.
Peter Wright kicked six goals as the midfield attempted to kick the ball more and move it quickly into the forward 50. The team revealed that method and spirit were as important as personnel after some at the club had used the unavailability of key players as excuses early in the season.
Brasher said the journeys of Melbourne and Richmond could be seen as blueprints for team to not panic when the progress was not being reflected in wins and that good clubs showed an ability to shift and adapt to circumstances.
“They [Richmond and Melbourne] came through it by showing courage in the face of massive external noise and belief in and support for their coaches and football program. We will do the same.” Brasher said.
Rutten said after the game he was proud that Jordan Ridley, Jake Kelly, Matt Guelfi, Alec Waterman and Sam Durham had shown the maturity to declare themselves unavailable due to illness. He also praised Devon Smith, Brayden Ham, Kaine Baldwin, Brandon Zerk-Thatcher and Aaron Francis, who replaced them, and even Alastair Lord who sat on the bench as medical sub for “playing a role”.

Chris and Rosie Ramsey are laughing, and making me laugh, as they tell a story about the other night. “At one point, this guy got up,” says Chris, “and his beef with his girlfriend is about her toenail. He says: ‘She keeps trying to make me cut her massive toenail.’ So we were like, ‘Let us see it then,’ and she got up onstage and came to the sofa with the guests…”
“And she’s absolutely stunning…” says Rosie.
“Stunning lass, gorgeous,” agrees Chris. “And it was her little toe on her right foot…”
“Thicker than it was wide…”
“Like a solid Rice Krispie. And he tries. And the clippers just don’t go down on it.”
“It was,” says Rosie, “brilliant.”
Welcome, gentle reader, to life with the Ramseys. Domestic, honest, intimate, silly, full of vaguely disgusting stories about everyday events you might not recount to your great-aunt, but you would definitely tell a friend. Perhaps you don’t find a Rice Krispie toenail funny, but I’d say you probably would if Chris and Rosie were describing it. It is, as Frank Carson used to say, the way they tell ’em. They are funny people and, though this is not true of all funny people, they are funnier together than apart.
At the moment, they’re bustling around the rooms of a supercool east London house that’s been hired for the photoshoot. “Ooh, these chairs are nice, Chris,” says Rosie, about some outdoor seats. They’re having their own new house done up (a six bed-er in the countryside near South Shields) and are at the garden-fouffing stage. “Not sure about these table edges, though,” she says. “No good for kids.” Chris is interested in the food on offer. “All vegan?” he says. “I’m starting to try that more. Though we did go to a London hotel for breakfast recently and when they said that the chia balls were all sold out, we weren’t that disappointed. We are from the northeast.”
Do you know the Ramseys? If you listen to their weekly podcast, Shagged Married Annoyed, you may well feel – as I do – as though they’re your long-term friends. If you haven’t heard it, let me sell it to you. It’s an hour of them chatting to each other. Yes, there are regular items, such as the “Lucrative sponsor opportunity”, an excuse for them to bitch about something that’s irritating, such as people who comment on how much luggage you have with you when you’re on holiday, or who hold their dogs up for you to talk to when you’re FaceTiming; more importantly, there’s the “What’s your beef?” section where they both bring up something that has annoyed them about the other. Plus, reader’s emails, which provide loads of the fun: the very first episode featured a woman writing in about treating her husband to “his first foursome, next Wednesday”. Really, though, SMA is just an hour of daftness, of the Ramseys being silly and making each other laugh.
Both from South Shields, the pair have been together for 10 years and are parents to two little boys, Robin and Rafe. Chris is a working comedian, appearing on Strictly and Taskmaster, and is currently touring the UK with his one-man show. But the Ramseys’ humour isn’t scripted: it bubbles up and out of their relationship. And it has made SMA one of the most successful podcasts in the UK. Launched in 2019, it immediately zoomed into the iTunes Top 10, where it stayed: it’s the only podcast that has ever stayed in the Top 10 for a whole year. As of last month, it has 100m listeners. When they decided to take the show on tour last year, they sold out Wembley Arena in a day. And then they sold out the O2 (the only podcasters ever to do so: they were given a commemorative plaque).
Now, they’re about to do a BBC chatshow (the toenail story comes from a pilot programme they did the other day). Featuring celebrity guests and an up-for-it audience, The Chris & Rosie Ramsey Show has already been commissioned for two seasons. The website crashed when tickets went up online; they set it up again the next day and yes, it crashed again. Chris and Rosie aren’t famous people trying to convince us they’re normal; they’re normal people who have become famous.
“Are we?” wonders Rosie. “I don’t feel like we’re well-known at all. Maybe it’s because we don’t live in the hustle and bustle, or because we do the podcast at home, and you don’t see the results of it all the time… I’m always excited when people come up to us. We try to be nice, and it’s easy because people are nice to us.”
“My mam once saw Colin Firth checking into a hotel,” says Chris, “with his kids and some family and he turned around and looked at her. And she loves Colin Firth. And poor guy, she says to this day he gave her a horrible look.”
Rosie: “He was just busy. He just looked over at a stranger.”
Chris: “She literally has never got over it. That tiny moment where this poor guy is on holiday and just glances at my mam, and my mam takes it utterly personally.”
We settle outside in the spring sunshine, Chris in Ray-Bans, Rosie in big round sunnies, to talk about their telly venture. The show is being filmed in the same studio as Graham Norton’s show and I can imagine a similar vibe: famous people on a sofa, funny audience interaction. “It’s even more about the audience,” says Chris. “The guys have sent beefs in, but they don’t know who’s going to be picked. And we don’t know either. We just take the beef out of the envelope and that’s the first time we see it and we react.”
This is exactly how they did their live show – “for three-quarters of the show, we didn’t know what we’d be doing,” says Rosie. It’s the key to everything, they think.
“If someone says something that’s really disgusting, if you already know what’s going to happen, you’re kind of in on it,” says Chris. “It’s about our bewilderment and dumbfoundment: ‘What the bloody hell is this?’ We don’t over-rehearse. We’re not those kind of people.”
Rosie is excited about the show, but nervous: “It’s a world Chris has been in for a long time, and I haven’t. It’s really new to me.”
Chris: “But I keep telling her she’s got no reason to feel nervous. Some of the lines she came out with at the pilot, off the cuff, so funny, so hilarious… She’s so good at it.”
He’s right; it’s Rosie who makes their show work. There are plenty of witty comedians out there, but not many with a funny life-partner who doesn’t compete (John Richardson and Lucy Beaumont? Though their shows are written as though they’re competitive). Unusually, it was Chris’s audience that demanded Rosie join in: in 2019, when he was promoting his Comedy Central solo show, he did some Facebook Lives from home, and Rosie kept heckling. She proved so popular that when he actually did the show, the audience spontaneously chanted her name. No wonder they thought they might try something together.
At the time Rosie was – and still is – a stay-at-home mum, setting up mother and toddler groups, gritting her teeth through long summer holidays. Before having children, she’d been a performer, dancing and singing in hotels abroad, working as a Pontins’ blue coat, co-hosting a local radio show. She loved it, but had never had huge success.
Born Rosie Winter, she’s the middle child of three, to parents who are “grafters”: a dad who worked for the Prudential, “going round houses, collecting mortgages”, and a mum who was a nurse. At some point, her dad did a masters degree (he now works for the NHS as a drug and alcohol abuse worker); while he did, the family lived on income support. Rosie’s young life was noisy and fun; she has 25 cousins and describes her family as “big, loud, welcoming, loving, would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. No money. But full of fun, always up for a laugh. Cry together, laugh together.” (“Every time they get together it’s like a Christmas party,” says Chris.)
Rosie was an outgoing child, “a show off”, convinced she was going to be an actor or a popstar. “I don’t even know if I was any good, I just loved the spotlight.” She auditioned for London drama schools, but her parents couldn’t afford to send her there; she did open auditions for the West End, but got nothing.
Chris: “Didn’t you get to the final five or something for a Lord of the Rings musical?”
Rosie: “I did! For the Hobbit part.”
This makes Chris howl; he makes a note in his phone. They often do this, to remind them to talk about something in their podcast. One of them will do something silly and notice the other subtly (or not so subtly) jotting it down for later broadcast use.
Chris also grew up in South Shields, close to Rosie, though they didn’t know each other as kids. His parents, he says, are quieter. “They would work during the week, go out Friday, go out Saturday, chill out Sunday. Very organised, very nine to five.” His dad worked at the pit, until the mines all closed and he went to work as a delivery driver; his mum worked for the NHS. They’re both retired now and, along with Rosie’s parents, help the Ramseys out with childcare.
He is an only child – “typical comedian,” says Rosie – who didn’t really know what he wanted to do with his life, though he knew he liked making people laugh. He can remember being 11 or 12, and going on holiday with his parents and meeting some strange posh kids and thinking, “I’ll tell everyone about them when I get back. And when I did,” he says, “there was this moment where all my mates were sitting cross-legged on a driveway and I was standing up next to the fence, on a little patch of grass, and I was telling them all about my holiday, and they were falling about. And something clicked.” He started constructing little routines in his head, but it wasn’t until he left school and was at university that a friend, Carl Hutchinson, now also a comedian, told him about open spots at comedy shows. “It was this moment where someone pulled the curtain back and went, ‘There’s a door here.’ And I just belted through it and never looked back.”
Chris can remember his first show; he told a joke about STIs and Marks & Spencer. It was at the Dog and Parrot in Newcastle. (“It’s near the Arena,” says Rosie, “and every time he does the Arena now, it’s like: ‘I was just over there, the Dog and Parrot.’ Every time. I feel like you have to say it now, because if you don’t say it, it’s all going to go away.”)
Though they remember seeing each other around when they were young (Rosie dated an older guy from Chris’s estate when she was 14), and went to the same sixth-form college, it wasn’t until 2012, when they bumped into each other at a local nightclub, that they got together; once, Rosie said, she realised Chris wasn’t quite as cocky as she’d thought.
Chris appeals to women: his comedy audience has always skewed more female and it’s similar for SMA, especially now Rosie’s there. Fans tend to be younger than the Ramseys, in their early 20s, and what Chris and Rosie are about, very definitely, is bringing them all together.
“Some comedians can walk into a room,” says Chris, “and they can do a massive bit on, like, Brexit. And they can split the room in half, and go, ‘That was good.’ But in my eyes, I think they died on their arse because half those people hated them. It’s clever, but you’re there to make them laugh, dude.”
For this reason, on the podcast they steer clear of divisive topics, like football or politics, though I did notice that in one episode, they brought up the government’s many lockdown cheese and wine parties.
Rosie: “We do talk about politics at home, we’re interested in it. We live in this world and we’re of an age where we’ve got mortgages, we’ve got children. But we just don’t feel like it needs to be in our show. Also, I don’t know about you, but I change my opinion all the time…”
Chris: “But when something is as cut and dried as, they had parties when we weren’t allowed, there can’t be anyone emailing in going, ‘How dare you? They deserved those parties.’ Wine and cheese parties, when people are waving at their grandkids through windows? I’m never going to change my opinion on that.”
Rosie: “There’s nothing to argue about.”
From there we veer off on to Will Smith (they are huge fans, especially Chris: “It was awful, the Oscars, like watching your dad lose his temper properly, like him having a fight in the pub”); how Chris went away on tour just 10 days after Robin was born: “Really, really hard,” says Rosie, “and I tried to do everything myself”; how Chris is stuck in his ways: “I listen to Absolute 80s, I’ve got the Guardians of the Galaxy playlist and I watch Family Guy and UFC on the telly”.
They let each other speak, they chime in with jokes and support; they really do seem to have a good working marriage, and they’re sure the podcast has improved it. After all, serious relationship counsellors often advise couples to have a weekly conference in order to talk through differences.
“Obviously we have rows,” says Rosie. “We don’t go straight to the podcast and laugh about it. You have time to mellow, and then you have a nice day, and you’re friends again. Then being able to talk about it after is really healthy.”
Chris: “It can be really bad in the moment, because Rosie’s better at it then, but, later on, I can pull it apart on the podcast and get an apology. It’s a very clever system.”
Rosie: “Yeah, he comes on the podcast and annihilates me. And I’m like, “But I won this in the moment!”
Chris: “Do you know what I remembered the other day? Years ago, before we did the podcast, your mam would come round, and you would kick off at me because I would roast you in front of people. I’d be like, ‘Sandra, do you see what she’s done with this dishwasher?’”
Rosie: “Yes, you did that all the time. I hated it. Why would you just rip the piss out of me in front of people?”
Chris: “And now we do it for a job!”

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — There’s not much room for middle ground in the testimony thus far from Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in Depp’s libel suit against his ex-wife. One of them is lying.
Heard has not yet finished telling the jury her side of things.
Her testimony will continue May 16 after the trial _ which has already stretched on for four weeks _ resumes after a one-week break.
Then she will face what one can safely assume will be an aggressive cross-examination.
Depp is suing Heard in Virginia for libel over an op-ed she wrote in December 2018 in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” | https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2022/05/07/he-said-she-said-accounts-from-depp-and-heard-rarely-match/ | 2022-05-08T06:23:25Z | https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2022/05/07/he-said-she-said-accounts-from-depp-and-heard-rarely-match/ | false | null |

PHOENIX — Charles Oliveira took Justin Gaethje’s best and dished it right back in his effort to reclaim his lightweight title.
In a hellacious opening round, a bloody Oliveira survived a knockdown and answered with one of his own, leading to a rear-naked choke submission victory in the UFC 274 main event Saturday in Footprint Center.
Oliveira (33-8, 1 NC) came into the main event on a 10-fight winning streak but lost the belt Friday morning after three failed attempts to weigh in at 155 pounds.
A mere eight ounces forced Oliveira, 32, to vacate the title and forfeit an undisclosed percentage of his purse. On top of that, the Brazilian star was declared ineligible to win the title Saturday night, instead becoming the No. 1 contender for the vacant title and “fight the next challenger for the undisputed title belt at a time and place to be determined,” the UFC said in a statement Friday.
Early on, it looked like Gaethje (24-4) would take care of that, swinging wildly in typical Gaethje fashion, willing to trade and bang. He knocked the former champ down early and even opened a cut over his left eye.
Gaethje, born and raised in Safford, Arizona, roughly 165 miles east of Phoenix, was a crowd favorite through and through, but the fans fell quiet when Oliveira knocked him down and pounced on the former interim lightweight champion.
No one has finished more fights in the UFC and finished them via submission than Oliveira. His finish Saturday was the 19th of his stellar UFC career and 16th via submission.
Once Oliveira had Gaethje’s back and his legs hooked around his waist, he stretched the challenger out and sunk in the choke, with referee Marc Goddard calling the fight at 3:20 of the first round.
Gaethje, 33, came in a winner of five of his past six, the lone loss via a second-round triangle choke in lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement fight in October 2020.
A wild and as-expected classic against Michael Chandler in November vaulted Gaethje to the front of the line to challenge Oliveira.
Chandler thrust himself into the 155-pound championship conversation earlier Saturday with a stunning front-kick knockout of Tony Ferguson.
Though both called out Irish former two-division superstar Conor McGregor in victory, Chandler and Oliveira could wind up squaring off for the vacant title for a second time.
After undefeated champion Khabib Nurmagomedov retired and relinquished the belt in March 2021, Oliveira fought for the vacant belt two months later and recorded a second-round knockout of Chandler at UFC 262 on May 15 in Houston. | https://www.ocregister.com/2022/05/07/ufc-274-charles-oliveira-submits-justin-gaethje-in-quest-to-reclaim-title/ | 2022-05-08T06:46:57Z | https://www.ocregister.com/2022/05/07/ufc-274-charles-oliveira-submits-justin-gaethje-in-quest-to-reclaim-title/ | true | 10 |
The world over, car-free days and open street programmes, where streets are closed for vehicular traffic on Sundays or public holidays, are gaining popularity. They are helping to make roads safer, inclusive and accessible for citizens of all age groups.
The Mumbai Police’s recent initiative called Sunday Streets allows residents to walk, run, cycle, jog, dance, play cricket and have fun across stretches of the city. The unprecedented support for the initiative has led to the police to expand the programme to more locations.
Such programmes bring together a host of public agencies, private sectors and experts to jointly develop projects. While these programmes can create a sense of belonging for residents, they can also act as powerful tools to facilitate discussions around safer mobility and quality public spaces that could even lead to long-term policy decisions.
Mumbai, with its high number of walkers and public transport users, has a great opportunity to unlock the potential of events such as Sunday Streets and work towards long-term, tangible change for citizens.
Here are a few global examples that show how open streets proved to be avenues for planning agencies to enhance roads, neighborhoods and public spaces, and the opportunities it presents for Mumbai.
Pop-up projects
In 2014, the American city of Minneapolis conducted four different one-day pop-up protected intersection projects as part of a city’s open streets programme. The city has since approved protected bike lanes and intersection projects.
The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has also allocated Rs 50 crore to its newly launched Tactical Urbanism initiative to implement quick, low-cost street and public space interventions.
As part of the initiative, the municipal corporation can also consider taking inputs from the design community and citizens to test the most suitable designs using speedy, low-cost solutions for intersections and streets during events such as Sunday Streets. These ideas can then be made permanent based on feedback from citizens.
Informing infrastructure
In 1974, Colombia’s capital Bogota began a revolution called Ciclovia, a Spanish term for cycleway. Every Sunday, or on a holiday, 122 km of streets are closed, partially or fully, for citizens to cycle. Today, more than 1.5 million people cycle in the city, boosted by the creation of a network of permanent cycle routes and a city mandate that enforces bike lanes on all new streets.
Open streets initiatives can also help and catalyse city plans and policies. In the US city of Burlington, officials used such events to test their Complete Streets vision. The positive feedback from citizens fed into planning a 88-mile pedestrian and bicycle master plan.
Mumbai can use the Sunday Streets platform to support a bottom-up, iterative process of planning safer and walkable streets. Pedestrian-and-cyclist-oriented projects listed in city plans, such as the Comprehensive Mobility Plan and the Mumbai Climate Action Plan, and those suggested by residents, activists and designers, can be approved for implementation with the consensus of all stakeholders.
The way forward
Apart from providing safer and inclusive streets, Open Street programmes in cities have yielded many other benefits. The recently pedestrianised Church Street in Bengaluru increased revenues for local businesses, improved air quality and led to an increase in Metro ridership. Ciclovia, along with a sustained investment in cycling, led to an increase in cycling trips in Bogota.
Along with creating equal chances for recreation, walking and cycling for a diverse group of citizens, Mumbai’s Sunday Streets initiative can prove to be a window of opportunity for citizens and administration to shape a more inclusive streetscape for the city.

BEIRUT (AP) — Umm Khaled hardly leaves the tent where she lives in northwest Syria, and she says she doesn’t pay attention to the news. But she knows one reason why it is getting harder and harder to feed herself and her children: Ukraine.
“Prices have been going up, and this has been happening to us since the war in Ukraine started,” said the 40-year-old, who has lived in a tent camp for displaced people in the last rebel-held enclave in Syria for the past six years since fleeing a government offensive.
Food prices around the world were already rising, but the war in Ukraine has accelerated the increase since Russia’s invasion began on Feb. 24. The impact is worsening the already dangerous situation of millions of Syrians driven from their homes by their country’s now 11-year-old civil war.
The rebel enclave in Syria’s northwest province of Idlib is packed with some 4 million people, most of whom fled there from elsewhere in the country. Most rely on international aid to survive, for everything from food and shelter to medical care and education.
Because of rising prices, some aid agencies are scaling back their food assistance. The biggest provider, the U.N. World Food Program, began this week to cut the size of the monthly rations it gives to 1.35 million people in the territory.
The Ukraine crisis has also created a whole new group of refugees. European nations and the U.S. have rushed to help more than 5.5 million Ukrainians who have fled to neighboring countries, as well as more than 7 million displaced within Ukraine’s borders.
Aid agencies are hoping to draw some of the world’s attention back to Syria in a two-day donor conference for humanitarian aid to Syrians that begins Monday in Brussels, hosted by the U.N. and the European Union. The funding also goes toward aid to the 5.7 million Syrian refugees living in neighboring countries, particularly Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
Last year, the EU, the United States and other nations pledged $6.4 billion to help Syrians and neighboring countries hosting refugees. But that fell well short of the $10 billion that the U.N. had sought — and the impact was felt on the ground. In Idlib, 10 of its 50 medical centers lost funding in 2022, forcing them to dramatically cut back services, Amnesty International said in a report released Thursday.
Across Syria, people have been forced to eat less, the Norwegian Refugee Council said. The group surveyed several hundred families around the country and found 87% were skipping meals to meet other living costs.
“While the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine continues to demand world attention, donors and governments meeting in Brussels must not forget about their commitment to Syria,” NRC’s Mideast Regional Director Carsten Hansen said in a report Thursday.
Umm Khaled is among those who rely on food aid. With her aid rations reduced, she has gone deeper in debt to feed her family.
Her husband and eldest son were killed in a Syrian government airstrike in their home city of Aleppo in 2016. Soon after, she escaped with her three surviving children to the rebel enclave in Idlib province. Ever since, they have lived in a tent camp with other displaced people on the outskirts of the town of Atmeh near the Turkish border.
Her family lives on two meals a day -- a small breakfast and a main meal late in the afternoon that serves as lunch and dinner. Her only income is from picking olives for a few weeks a year, making 20 Turkish liras ($1.35) a day.
“We used to get enough rice, bulgur, lentils and others. Now they keep reducing them,” she said by telephone from the camp. She spoke on condition her full name is not made public, fearing repercussions. She lives with her two daughters, ages six and 16, and 12-year-old son, who suffered head and arm injuries in the strike that killed his brother and father.
The price of essential food items in northwest Syria has already increased by between 22% and 67% since the start of the Ukraine conflict, according to the aid group Mercy Corps. There have also been shortages in sunflower oil, sugar and flour.
Mercy Corps provides cash assistance to displaced Syrians to buy food and other needs and it says it has no plans to reduce the amount.
“Even before the war in Ukraine, bread was already becoming increasingly unaffordable,” said Mercy Corps Syria Country Director, Kieren Barnes. The vast majority of wheat brought into northwest Syria is of Ukrainian origin, and the territory doesn’t produce enough wheat for its own needs.
“The world is witnessing a year of catastrophic hunger with a huge gap between the resources and the needs of the millions of people around the world,” said WFP spokeswoman Abeer Etefa.
In many of its operations around the world, WFP is reducing the size of the rations it provides, she said. Starting this month in northwest Syria, the provisions will go down to 1,177 calories a day, from 1,340. The food basket will continue to provide a mix of commodities, including wheat flour, rice, chickpeas, lentils, bulgur wheat, sugar and oil.
Rising prices have increased the cost of WFP’s food assistance by 51% since 2019 and that cost will likely go even higher as the impact of the Ukraine crisis is felt, Etefa said.
Earlier in the year, before the Ukraine conflict began, a 29% jump in costs prompted the Czech aid agency People in Need to switch from providing food packages to giving food vouchers. The vouchers, worth $60, buy less food than the group's target level, but it had to take the step to “maximize its coverage of food assistance to the most vulnerable,” a spokesperson told The Associated Press.
As the world turns to other conflicts, “Syria is on the verge of becoming yet another forgotten crisis,” Assistant U.N. Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Joyce Msuya warned in late April.
In northwest Syria, “a staggering 4.1 million people” need humanitarian aid, Msuya said — not just food, but also medicines, blankets, school supplies and shelter. She said almost a million people in the territory, mainly women and children, live in tents, “half of which are beyond their normal lifespan.”
Many fear that the situation could only get worse in July, because Russia may force international aid for the northwest to be delivered through parts of Syria under the control of its ally, President Bashar Assad.
Currently, aid enters the Idlib enclave directly from Turkey via a single border crossing, Bab al-Hawa. The U.N. mandate allowing deliveries through Bab al-Hawa ends on July 9, and Russia has hinted it will veto a Security Council resolution renewing the mandate.
A Russian veto would effectively hand Assad control over the flow of aid to the opposition enclave and the U.S. and EU had warned earlier they will stop funding in that case.
The result will be a severe humanitarian crisis, likely triggering a new flood of Syrian migrants into Turkey and Europe, the German Institute for International and Security Affairs warned in a report.
Umm Khaled said she has no choice but to endure her deteriorating living conditions.
“They keep reducing our food basket,” she said. “May God protect us if they cut it completely.” | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Syrians-in-desperate-need-of-aid-hit-hard-by-17157252.php | 2022-05-08T07:21:00Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Syrians-in-desperate-need-of-aid-hit-hard-by-17157252.php | false | 20 |

Op-Ed: Schumer Thinks He Has a Slam Dunk, But It Could Be a Magnificent Opportunity for Republicans
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will hold a vote on a bill codifying abortion’s legality so that voters, he contends, can “see where every senator stands.” Schumer believes this is a political slam dunk for Democrats, but it presents a magnificent opportunity for Republicans to make their case.
Though many conservatives have rightly avoided prematurely celebrating Justice Samuel Alito’s leaked draft decision, many also seem frightened of debating the underlying issue. Indeed, the leak is a significant assault on the system, but no more so than Roe v. Wade. For 50 years, our culture and media have treated this flawed decision as right and rite.
Surely, most of the public isn’t aware of the maximalist position staked out by the establishment left. Republicans should take the opportunity to point out that even if they are moderately pro-abortion, they couldn’t possibly support Schumer’s barbaric bill, which legalizes abortion for any reason on-demand until the moment of birth. They should follow that up by noting that Democrats, including the president, also want taxpayers to foot the bill for abortions, including the late-term variety.
Schumer’s bill would likely translate to thousands of viable babies being dismembered for nothing more than convenience. (Well, thousands more than the approximately 10,000 already killed yearly in late-term abortions.)
A floor debate would be a good time to note that there is no law preventing doctors from saving the life of the mother. Indeed, medical literature shows that third-trimester abortions are very rarely performed for “maternal health complications or lethal fetal anomalies discovered late in pregnancy,” according to the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute found that a majority of women who seek late-term abortions “do not do so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.”
Republicans might want to ask their Democratic colleagues what, if any, limitations on abortion they believe should be instituted. When Fox News’ Bret Baier pressed former pro-lifer Tim Ryan, now the Democratic senatorial candidate in Ohio (who is often portrayed as moderate by the media), on whether he believed in any limitations on abortion, he answered, “You got to leave it up to the woman.”
Why does Ryan believe it is “up to the woman” to decide whether a human being lives or dies one minute before crowning but not one minute after? I’m sure I’m not the only person interested in hearing why Democrats believe that it’s “reproductive justice” to dispose of children such as Lyla Stensrud, born at 21 weeks and four days and weighing just 14.4 ounces.
A floor debate would be a good time to remind everyone that, in 2019, Senate Democrats blocked Republican Ben Sasse’s effort to obtain unanimous consent on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, a bill that wasn’t technically about abortion but about protecting babies who survived the surgical procedure.
And when Democrats meld their racial grievance rhetoric with their “bodily autonomy” arguments, someone should ask them, “Why do you believe it’s OK for abortion factories to target minority communities? Do you share Margaret Sanger’s racist position on black children? Are you OK with sex-selective abortions? If not, why not? Are you OK with abortionists eradicating people with non-life-threatening fetal abnormalities such as Down syndrome for the convenience of the customers, a policy that is properly called eugenics?”
A floor debate would be a good chance to point out the lies spread about “forced abortions,” ectopic pregnancy and contraception bans, and also to remind voters that Democrats want to strip medical workers of conscience rights and compel them to participate in abortions.
Of course, I’m not naive. Most abortion advocates won’t answer, and the media won’t ask. When does life begin? Maybe a Democrat will finally have an answer. Or maybe the question will remain above their “pay grade,” as former President Barack Obama, who spearheaded abortion radicalization, once said.
As it stands, the left’s position is that only the mother (no longer referred to as a “birthing person”) can answer such questions. This isn’t merely unscientific; it is morally indefensible. It’s why abortion activists have been forced to use a slew of euphemisms — “bodily autonomy” and “reproductive rights” — to avoid describing the unpleasant realities and consequences of the deadly procedure they champion.
But now that SCOTUS might overturn Roe, Democrats will no longer be allowed to silence debate by claiming that abortion is inarguably a constitutional right. They should be compelled to make arguments — perhaps not in solid-blue states, but on the national stage.
So far, they seem utterly unprepared for that debate — which makes Republicans’ tepid response to the possible ending of Roe even more inexplicable.

Alexis Romay, New Jersey, 30 April 2022
In Cuba, the Worker’s Union
is just a branch of the State.
It doesn’t allow debate.
It curtails any reunion
of people seeking communion
of ideas by themselves,
while there’s no food on the shelves,
and there’s widespread condemnation
of the Party as the indignation
of the Cuban people swells.

Tunis, May 8 Tunisian Prime Minister Najla Bouden Romdhane said the government will not privatise strategic public institutions because they play a crucial role in the implementation of the country's economic and social policies.
In her speech, Romdhane stressed the importance of reforming these public institutions through implementing a restructuring program and putting in place a legal and regulatory framework to increase their competitiveness, reports Xinhua news agency.
Despite the country was facing a difficult situation when the current government took office, the government administration has so far made positive accomplishments, according to the Prime Minister.
She said her country has managed to pay back its international and domestic debts, pay the wages on time, and supply its citizens with basic food products while fighting against smuggling.
According to her, the civil service reform "will be based on the digitalisation and modernization of the administration, as well as good human resource management and the development of the payroll system".
The Prime Minister also vowed to improve the country's working environment by creating more opportunities and boosting creativity and innovation.
