Virginia Zoo welcomes baby sloth, asks public to help choose name
NORFOLK, Va. — A baby two-toed sloth was born last month at the Virginia Zoo – and you can help pick its name.
According to WVEC-TV, the Norfolk attraction announced Monday that mother Honey and father Mervin welcomed the new arrival April 17. The baby is the couple’s second offspring, the zoo said in a news release.
“You can’t help but swoon over a baby sloth,” Greg Bockheim, the zoo’s executive director, said in a statement. “We will not know for some time if the newborn is a girl or boy since newborns tend to cling to their moms to stay out of view of potential predators, but we are excited for visitors to see it on exhibit with the parents.”
In the meantime, the public can help choose the baby’s name by submitting a gender-neutral suggestion, along with a $5 donation, via the zoo’s website by May 7.
“The names will then be narrowed down by zookeepers, and the sloth family will chose the final name,” the zoo said, adding that officials will unveil the winning name in a May 16 social media post.
The zoo said proceeds will go toward its Act for Wildlife fund benefiting conservation efforts.

GRUNDY CENTER, Iowa (AP) — About 8 miles west of here is a white Quonset hut that hums with the sound of industrial fans.
Unlike other rural outbuildings equipped with fans, this one doesn’t house hogs. It’s stacked with computers that spend all day and night working complex mathematical problems that create bitcoin, the most well-known cryptocurrency.
“I knew there was a place out there,” said Jill Krausman, owner of the Landmark Bistro in Grundy Center, who doesn’t know much about the site other than if an employee stops in for lunch. “I don’t have enough knowledge about it. It hasn’t affected me.”
The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports that this nondescript facility is one of the first — if not the first — large-scale cryptocurrency mining site in Iowa. But the company wants to expand with five more locations in Eastern Iowa, capitalizing on wide-open spaces, low property taxes and cheap electricity.
People are also reading…
Cheap electricity is especially important because crypto mining uses a lot of juice. The Grundy County site uses more electricity than all the residential customers in Grundy Center, population 2,800, combined.
The industry’s massive energy use at a time when the world is trying to curb climate change should be a red flag to Iowa utilities and residents, said Kerri Johannsen, Energy Program director for the Iowa Environmental Council.
“There is a larger fundamental question about why we need to use energy in the first place to create cryptocurrency,” she said.
Bitcoin was created in the late 2000s, after the Great Recession, as a way for people to send money directly to each other without a bank or third party. Other cryptocurrencies, such as ethereum and litecoin, have followed.
Bitcoin transactions are verified and monitored by independent computers running a secure algorithm to solve blocks of numbers that represent groupings of transactions. These computers, or “miners,” race to solve each block with the payout being the next block of bitcoins, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Grundy County site is too small to solve blocks on its own, so miners there work as part of a mining pool that pays out a daily rate based on the amount of work, or “hashing” the computers do, explained J.P. Baric, founder and chief executive officer of the MiningStore, which owns the site.
“Bitcoin is important to me because it’s a monetary system that can’t be influenced by the government and it can’t be changed,” he said.
Baric, 24, dropped out of North Carolina State in 2017 to move to Texas — first Houston, then Austin, which he calls a “crypto mining heaven.” With his parents and grandparents, Baric invested $1 million to start the MiningStore, which owns and operates the Grundy County site as its flagship facility.
Right now, each of the site’s 1,900 computers mines $17 per day, but that amount fluctuates with the value of bitcoin. It’s been as high as $35 a day. But at current rates, the site makes about $32,000 a day. The power bill is over $5,000 a day, Baric said.
Baric found the Iowa site through a Colorado economic development group that identifies areas with low energy costs.
“It doesn’t surprise me they set up shop in Grundy County because they have really low- cost energy there,” said Jim Martin-Schramm, a Luther College emeritus professor who focuses on energy and climate policy.
At 4.05 cents per kilowatt-hour, the Grundy County REC has some of the cheapest industrial electricity in the state, according to filings with the Iowa Utilities Board. The MiningStore bought one acre of land in 2019 right next to an electrical substation.
Magnus Anderson, the MiningStore’s Grundy County site manager, explains how electricity moves through a 1,500-kilowatt transformer underground directly to the site. The company’s contract with the REC says six months of the year the MiningStore will agree to temporarily power down when there is peak electrical usage, such as on hot summer days.
“It’s a load vessel for the grid,” he said of the mining site. “We use it (electricity) until everybody else needs it.”
The site uses 6 megawatts of power during operation, which is 24/7 unless part of the system is undergoing repairs.
To put this in perspective, Luther College, with 1,800 students, in Decorah, uses about 2 megawatts during most of the year, rising to 2.8 megawatts in the summer, Martin-Schramm said.
An average Iowa home uses about 11,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, Johannsen said. The MiningStore uses about 54 million kilowatt-hours a year, or the equivalent of 4,900 houses.
“All of Grundy County in the census has 5,146 households,” she said. “We’re talking about 95 percent of the households in Grundy County.”
So where does the power come from?
Grundy County REC is one of nine rural electric cooperatives and one municipal cooperative that own Corn Belt Power Cooperative, based in Humboldt and serving 41 northern Iowa counties. Corn Belt owns the nine substations within Grundy County REC, including the one that powers the MiningStore.
Corn Belt’s power mix in 2019 was about 50 percent coal, 18 percent purchased power, 15 percent renewables and smaller shares of natural gas, hydro and nuclear, according to the coop’s website.
A half-dozen wind turbines are visible from the MiningStore site, but those turbines are owned by MidAmerican Energy and do not power the crypto mining facility, said the REC’s General Manager Mike Curtis.
The cooperative’s electricity sales to large commercial and industrial customers more than doubled from 16.5 million kilowatt-hours in 2018 to 36.9 million kilowatt-hours in 2020, which Curtis said is largely due to the MiningStore.
For bitcoin to become a viable worldwide currency, some environmental groups say it must slash its energy use.
A group called Change the Code Not the Climate says changing the “proof of work” required to validate transactions to a “proof of stake” — meaning miners pledge coins to verify transactions — would cut energy use by 99 percent, according to a March article in the Guardian.
Energy use isn’t the only challenge.
“Since cryptocurrencies are too volatile to be used as an actual currency, people treat it as a sort of investment scheme,” wrote Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder and CEO of Vivaldi Technologies, in a Jan. 13 blog post.
“The problem is that to extract actual money from the system you have to find someone willing to buy the tokens you are holding. And this is only likely to happen as long as they believe they will be able to sell them on to someone who’ll pay even more for them. And so on, and so on.”
The same day The Gazette toured the Grundy County mining site, Baric showed it off to Josh Terry, an Austin-based YouTuber whose channel, JoshTerryPlays, explores cryptocurrency, game theory and other related topics, and has more than 5,000 subscribers.
Terry used social media to recruit 1,000 people to invest $100 to become part of a “mining team” within the company, Baric said.
Bitcoin mining operations that want to grow need to keep adding investors because the computers cost thousands of dollars, Baric said. But it’s not like a pyramid scheme that new investors are needed to make previous investors whole.
“People buy the bitcoins because they believe more people are going to believe bitcoin has value,” Baric said. “That’s why people put money into it.”
Baric and his investors would like to open five more bitcoin mining sites in Eastern Iowa: Another in Grundy County, one in Black Hawk County and three in Tama County.
The Grundy County Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended the Board of Supervisors deny the request to change zoning from agricultural to commercial to allow for the center there. There will be a public hearing May 9 at 9 a.m. at the Grundy County Courthouse in Grundy Center.
“With any sort of expansion like this, there’s going to be concerns you take into account, like environmental concern or concerns for land,” said Supervisor Lucas Halverson. “We’re interested to see what the public has to say. We’d love to hear from Mr. Baric ourselves. We haven’t been approached directly by anybody by this company. We’d love to learn the positives and negatives.”
Baric said he plans to be at the hearing.
The MiningStore pays property taxes, employs nine people full time and hires electricians to help at the site, Baric said. Company leaders also are looking to do more community outreach, such as leading school tours and speaking about bitcoin.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority does not offer incentives to cryptocurrency mining sites that want to open in Iowa. Nor does the agency track them, spokeswoman Kanan Kappelman said.
That should change, said Johannsen, of the Iowa Environmental Council.
“If there’s a planned expansion, it would be something for the state to get a handle on from the perspective of what we can expect in terms of (energy) load growth,” she said. “It’s not that the organization is anti-crypto or we have a particular reason to be. But if we’re going to use our energy resources most efficiently, is this really the most efficient use of energy resources?”

Israel: PM Bennett, Lapid to meet with coalition party leaders
Head of the Islamist Arab Ra'am Party, Mansour Abbas, will not be taking part
In preparation for Israel's parliament's (Knesset) upcoming summer session, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid are set to meet Sunday with the heads of coalition parties.
This comes as the government struggles to maintain footing without its parliamentary majority.
However, the head of the Islamist Arab Ra'am Party, Mansour Abbas, will not be taking part as he is currently out of Israel.
Ra'am froze its coalition membership during the unrest at Jerusalem's Temple Mount, leaving questions if the party would return. If Ra'am pulls out its four seats, the government will become the minority, as it currently maintains 60 of the Knesset's 120 total seats.
Abbas said on Friday that his party does not plan to bring down the government and that he is working with Jordan to resolve tensions at the holy site.
“The correct approach that I see is not to have a direct hand in bringing down the government… but rather to pressure the government on various issues with the other tools we have available,” Abbas said.
Abbas noted that opposition factions don’t have a majority needed to form a new government without going to elections.
Israel's current government ranges from Bennett's right-wing Yamina party to the left-wing Meretz party, formed after former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies did not secure a majority in the fourth round of elections in two years. | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/politics/1651985920-israel-pm-bennett-lapid-to-meet-with-coalition-party-leaders | 2022-05-08T07:47:11Z | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/politics/1651985920-israel-pm-bennett-lapid-to-meet-with-coalition-party-leaders | true | 1 |
A federal grand jury has indicted a man suspected of shooting up a New York City subway train last month — an attack that wounded 10 people and rattled a city already experiencing a rise in violent crime.
The panel charged Frank James, 62, on Friday with committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. Both counts carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. The weapons count has a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence.
James was arrested on April 13, about 30 hours after authorities say he drove from Philadelphia and unleashed smoke bombs and dozens of bullets in a train full of morning commuters as it approached a Brooklyn station. The shooting victims ranged in age from 16 to 60; all were expected to survive.
Authorities said James's bank card, cellphone and a key to a van he had rented were found at the shooting scene. Police also said they found the handgun used in the shooting and traced it to James.

Advertise with NZME.James is jailed without bail. An arraignment hasn't yet been scheduled, according to the US attorney's office for New York's Eastern District.
A lawyer representing James at the time of his arrest cautioned not to rush to judgment and noted that James alerted police to his whereabouts. James was arrested in Manhattan's East Village after he called a tip line saying he was at a fast food restaurant in that section of the city.
A motive for the attack is unclear. In numerous rants he posted on YouTube, James made bigoted remarks about people of various backgrounds and railed against New York Mayor Eric Adams and complained about mental health care he received in the city years ago. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/grand-jury-charges-suspect-in-brooklyn-subway-mass-shooting-last-month/TITOLIKBI66JXE4GR4V3WCKA4M/?c_id=2&objectid=12522873&ref=rss | 2022-05-08T07:54:15Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/grand-jury-charges-suspect-in-brooklyn-subway-mass-shooting-last-month/TITOLIKBI66JXE4GR4V3WCKA4M/?c_id=2&objectid=12522873&ref=rss | true | 23 |

The sandwiches in Burger King ads are bigger than the real thing, and now the company is facing a lawsuit.
Ads can’t be trusted Burger king. It will also happen to you, imagine, that the sandwich/chips/waffle (in the good sense, of course) hypnotizes you on duty, only to be disappointed and bruised by guilt when we find it in our hands. Well, in States united Customer dissatisfaction has reached the level of pushing the fast food giant to court.
Through a 26-page class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in South Florida, attorneys Anthony J. Russo And James C Kelly They represent a string of plaintiffs who claim to have looted the size of sandwiches displayed in Burger King ads, which were depicted “containing large meatballs and excess ingredients.” In a way that we sympathize with: Making your mouth water just to see him fade into bitterness and shattered expectations is just too bad. Specifically, the complaint in question mentions some of the most popular dishes on the BK menu, such as Whopper, and aims to persuade the fast food giant (and other chains as well) to advertise their menus in a way that “reflects reality.”
Although the case is heading toward a jury trial (where it could be interpreted as misleading advertising), Burger King preferred not to comment for the time being. The plaintiffs, who number about a hundred, are not afraid to be heard, arguing that they would not have purchased the sandwiches in question had they known they were smaller than advertised (which raises the question: but was it the first time I ate at a fast food restaurant?).

NINTENDO favourites are unrecognisable with their new looks.
The classic characters were revealed in the first trailer for Nintendo's Mario Strikers Battle League Football.
It is the third game in the Mario Strikers Series and is set for a worldwide release next month.
The ten favourites returning for the launch include Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, and Yoshi.
Donkey Kong, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser will also be making a come back.
But a trailer has shown they have all undergone huge transformations.
Each character has also been given their own footie kit rather than their usual outfits.
Mario has stripped out of his blue overalls and long red t-shirt while Luigi has changed out of his unfaded denim jean overalls, brown work shoes, and green long-sleeve shirt.
Meanwhile Peach has stepped out of her floor-length pink gown for a football shirt, shorts, long socks and studs.
But she will still be wearing her crown when she steps onto the pitch.

And the turtle-like Bowser looks even more fearsome than before in his kit.
They were revealed in a first-look trailer for the new game, which was only released in Japanese.
Mario Strikers Battle League will be a chaotic five versus five football video game.
Aggressive tactics and tackles will be allowed, but they will give opposing players items to use in their favour.
The items include favourites seen in Mario Kart and Mario Tennis, like a slippery banana peel or shell. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tech/8831220/nintendo-favourites-mario-strikers-battle-league/ | 2022-05-08T08:17:58Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tech/8831220/nintendo-favourites-mario-strikers-battle-league/ | true | 5 |

Two Dublin women are calling on a change to be made to housing planning so developers have to provide smaller dwellings designed for the elderly when building new estates.
Maureen Smith and Maureen Dunne both live alone in Baldoyle and have unsuccessfully been trying to downsize for years.
The pair are in their 60’s and 70’s and both say they are living in homes too big for them.

They would like to move into smaller units suitable for an elderly person, but have found this impossible to find.
The friends believe this is a no-brainer as their larger homes would then be able to sold to a younger family who needs the space.
Maureen Dunne lives in an older estate and said many of the houses are now occupied by single elderly people or couples living in homes too big for them.
She told Dublin Live: “I live in a three bedroom house and I just feel it’s too much at this stage of my life.
“It’s a lot of work maintaining it. There’s a lot of reasons why I want to downsize.
“I’d free up money, I’d free up a house for a younger family.”
Maureen Smith said she has been highlighting this issue “for years” and wants builders to zone part of estates for smaller dwellings so elderly people can live in more manageable homes and still be part of the community.
“We need to look at this, it’s a huge problem,” she said.
“It would then free the houses for younger people to buy them. I’ve been trying for years to downsize and live in my own area and not move out.
“But unfortunately, builders that are coming to areas don’t look around and see how many people are living on their own in housing that they can’t afford and keep.
“They just go ahead and build skyscrapers and don’t think of houses that those growing older would want to live in.”

Maureen Dunne said that living in Baldoyle is “magical” and she would love to stay in the area.
Her house was originally in a council estate but she was given the opportunity to purchase it after a few years.
She said: “I’m here 43 years so I’m very integrated into the community. I can’t go outside without talking to people.
“It would be lovely to stay in the area but the fact is I could not afford it.
“I have looked lots of times. There was cottages that came up outside this estate and I couldn’t afford to buy it even if I sold this house.”
“People don’t want to go into nursing homes. Loneliness is one of the worst things.
“I know lots of people living in these houses are couples but when you’re on your own it can become very lonely.
“It’s a killer and you could end up in a nursing home which is the last thing I ever want to do.”

The PS5 and Xbox Series X are as difficult to find as ever. It’s not much easier to get your hands on a GPU. In previous eras, this would have essentially put a kibosh on gaming. Without a console or a PC, you’d be better off watching TV, or reading a book, or going outside.
However, we live in an era of smartphones — and with smartphones, comes cloud gaming. The games you buy are no longer tied to a specific box in your living room. With services such as Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now, you can theoretically take your whole collection with you wherever you go. What’s more: You could build up an entire game library without ever buying a console or PC to go with it.
A few months ago, I wrote that cloud gaming has gotten good enough to potentially render consoles and PCs superfluous. To be clear, I don’t think the technology is perfect, but I do think that it’s reached a point where it’s good enough for everyday play, provided your connection is strong enough. Shortly after that, a representative from AT&T asked if I’d like to put my assertion to the test.
The experiment
The AT&T rep suggested that if I had so much faith in cloud gaming, I could give it a try on the company’s expansive 5G network. 5G, he argued, was strong and stable enough to meet cloud gaming’s demanding specifications. What’s more: AT&T customers get six free months of GeForce Now, suggesting that the mobile provider puts a lot of stock in 5G’s gaming capabilities.
To test how well 5G handled PC and console games, AT&T sent me a Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone, a Razer Kishi controller and a SIM card with an unlimited 5G data plan. The company also upgraded my Nvidia GeForce Now account to a premium Priority tier, as opposed to the free tier I had been using. In theory, I could now hold the equivalent of a high-end gaming PC in my pocket, and take it with me wherever I went.
Where is 5G gaming beneficial?
I went into the experiment with high hopes, excited to play my favorite games wherever I went. But it wasn’t long before I ran into my first big issue with a 5G gaming smartphone: There weren’t that many opportunities to actually use it.
My weekday routine is admittedly pretty simple; I think it’s a fairly common one. In the morning, I get ready at home, then take a subway to work. I’m at the office for most of the day. In the evening, I’ll take the subway to another activity, or directly home.
Assuming your daily schedule is comparable, think long and hard about when you would actually need a smartphone capable of streaming PC or console games. If you want to game before work, you have access to your home setup. If you want to game during a break at work, you can use cloud gaming with a computer and a strong Wi-Fi connection. If you want to game after work, you’re back at home. Even if you need to share your PC or console setup with others, you can still game on a smartphone, just with Wi-Fi rather than 5G.
In fact, the only time where a 5G gaming smartphone would have come in handy was during my daily commute. There’s no signal underground, though, so it’s not practical for subway riders. And if you drive to work, you can’t play a game at the same time.
However, I realized that commuting could present a big opportunity — provided that you do it above ground.
Pains, trains and automobiles
I live in the northeastern United States, where every major city has its own flavor of commuter rail. These trains usually run above ground, and the trips can last 30-90 minutes, or more. It’s the ideal situation for a 5G gaming smartphone. You have enough time to sink into a game, but you don’t have a stable Wi-Fi connection.
After confirming my coverage with AT&T’s 5G map, I bought myself a roundtrip on the Metro North from New York to New Haven, CT. This trip takes about an hour and a half each way, and theoretically has 5G coverage the whole time. I hooked up the Kishi, signed into my GFN account, and waited for the fun to start.
The first problem I ran into was that you can’t simply play any game in your PC or console library. I was in the middle of Elden Ring when I ran this experiment, but that game isn’t part of GeForce Now. In fact, the only way to stream Elden Ring seems to be from one PC in your house to another one via Steam. I settled for Cyberpunk 2077 instead, figuring that an immersive single-player game would be a good way to pass the time.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get very far. Cyberpunk 2077 assumes that you’ll have a screen somewhere in the 20-80-inch range, rather than the Galaxy S21’s 6-inch display. The text was almost impossible to read, which is a recipe for disaster in a game that requires you to track quests, hack into sensitive files and follow along with subtitled dialogue.
I could have lived with the tiny text, but the performance was also highly variable. Even though I had a strong 5G signal for most of my ride, the game needed to constantly buffer, inundating me with low-resolution textures, blurry characters, jerky performance and stuttering frame rates. The game flat-out froze a few times, which is a nightmare in a game that leans heavily into both driving and combat.
The AT&T rep had recommended that I try Apex Legends, Rocket League and Destiny 2, so I reasoned that perhaps Cyberpunk 2077 was just not optimized for streaming. I loaded up Apex Legends, and ran my way through the tutorial. The experience was a little smoother this time around. While the graphics were a little blurry, the performance was a little better, and the frame rate looked less like an animated flipbook. But seeing my targets on the tiny screen was almost impossible, particularly when they were far away (which was most of the time).
Rocket League and Destiny 2 presented similar difficulties. No matter how well they performed — which was sometimes “fine” and more often “with a lot of lag” — the screen size was always an issue. Console and PC game developers simply do not create characters models, backgrounds and text with smartphone screens in mind, and unless that changes within the next few years, 5G gaming is always going to face a potentially fatal stumbling block.
A few weeks later, I repeated the experiment on a 4.5-hour bus ride between Washington, D.C. and New York City. This time around, I tried the Xbox Game Pass app to see if it would fare any better than GeForce Now. I sank a few hours into Yakuza 5 Remastered, and I have to admit that I was actually able to make a little progress in the game. It synced my save files from home perfectly, and it was a game I really wanted to play, rather than a game I simply brought along to pass the time. But the small screen, laggy performance and occasional loss of signal eventually made the whole experience intolerable, and I decided to read a book instead.
A night at the pub
I racked my brains to come up with a few more everyday scenarios where you might conceivably have a smartphone, no Wi-Fi and enough time to play an involved game. Eventually, I had a realization: 5G gaming wasn’t just there to pass the time. If the whole world was my entertainment center, then I didn’t have to game in my living room; I could do so anywhere. And so, naturally, I went to the pub.
This, I thought, could be the best of both worlds. Pubs, coffee shops, diners and the like are excellent places to sit and relax, where you can get out of the house for a few hours without spending a truckload of money. Some pubs offer Wi-Fi; some don’t. But they tend to be pretty slow connections with a lot of people vying for bandwidth. I bought myself a beer, pulled up a stool in the back, and loaded up Cyberpunk 2077 again.
Without a doubt, the pub was the best 5G gaming spot that I tested. It was relatively dark, so I could see the screen easily. I wasn’t moving, so the 5G connection was extremely consistent. I could stay as long as I wanted, so having to quickly disassemble the Kishi or find a save spot wasn’t a concern. Even so, it was something of a mixed experience.
At the pub, I didn’t encounter the same lag and frame rate issues that I had on the train. But my environs still couldn’t change the tiny screen, or the fact that the fact that I couldn’t play the exact games that I wanted. While I was happy for the change of scenery, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might have been happier at home, with a pack of craft beer and a big TV.
A day at the park
Finally, I realized that 5G could facilitate gaming’s last great frontier: the outdoors. Growing up, I’m sure I’m not the only person whose parents exhorted me to put down the controller and go play outside. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, I reasoned, if I could finally combine these two cherished activities?
I packed up my phone and my Kishi and hopped a subway to one of NYC’s 1,700+ public parks. I picked a bright, balmy day, with just enough cloud cover to be comfortable, and no chance of rain. Upon arriving at the park, I scouted out the perfect spot: sunny enough to be warm, shady enough to see my screen and with enough back support to sit comfortably for a while.
Testing in the park was my most disappointing 5G experience, if only because I honestly expected much better. Even though I was sitting in a stationary spot with perfect 5G coverage, my games lagged and stuttered just as they had on the train. Even in the shade, with the screen brightness turned all the way up, the games were difficult to see. I lasted only about 10 minutes before I packed up and headed inside.
To be fair, I’m sure that some areas of the park would have offered a more stable connection, or shadier trees, or some combination of perfect conditions for 5G gaming. But it would take an awful lot of work to find them — especially considering that you’re not exactly a captive audience in a park, as you are on a train or bus. It’s easy enough to just go somewhere else with a strong Wi-Fi signal.
Too many caveats
All told, I had my 5G gaming smartphone for about a month. During that time, I didn’t find myself in many organic situations where it came in handy. When I engineered situations for myself, the performance was often disappointing. And even under ideal conditions, many PC and console games are almost unplayable on a six-inch screen. Until developers adopt mobile streaming on a wide scale and add a dedicated “smartphone mode” for every game, 5G gaming is going to face an uphill battle. To be clear, I think this could absolutely happen someday. But today is not that day.
Even then, you have to jump through an awful lot of hoops to facilitate a 5G gaming setup at all. In my testing, cloud gaming chewed through about 1 GB of data per hour, so a high-end unlimited data plan is a necessity. At AT&T, this plan would cost $85 per month for a single line, on top of the $10 per month for GeForce Now Priority or $15 per month for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. A Razer Kishi costs $100. You could conceivably spend much more on a 5G gaming setup than on a console or PC.
Thinking back on the whole experience, though, there was one thought that kept popping into my head each time I tested: “I wish I had my Nintendo Switch instead.” The Switch isn’t an especially powerful console, and it goes through long dry spells between must-have games. But it doesn’t require an Internet connection, and most of its games feel optimized for its small screen. You could argue that 5G gaming is still more convenient, as you almost always have your smartphone on your person. But once you factor in carrying around the Razer Kishi, you may as well just stash a Switch in your bag instead.
As handheld PCs such as the Steam Deck gain prominence, I wonder whether cloud gaming on mobile phones will be the wave of the future, after all. As it stands, 5G gaming can be fun in short bursts, and these growing pains are inevitable in a technology that’s made such great strides in such a short amount of time. But unless developers and publishers get serious about cloud gaming on mobile platforms, there’s no immediate reason why gamers should, either. | https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/features/5g-smartphone-gaming | 2022-05-08T08:32:50Z | https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/features/5g-smartphone-gaming | false | 2 |

'Why don't they f*cking retire?!' - Man Utd slammed by Tyson Fury as 'shocking season' continues with Brighton defeat
Tyson Fury has slammed Manchester United as their "shocking season" continued with a 4-0 defeat at Brighton.
The Red Devils were beaten for the 11th time in the Premier League in 2021-22 on Saturday, with Brighton running out comprehensive winners at the Amex Stadium thanks to goals from Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
Ralf Rangnick's side cannot finish higher than sixth now, and WBC heavyweight champion Fury expressed his frustration on social media while watching them slip to a fifth successive away loss.

What did Tyson Fury say about Man Utd?
The boxing superstar is a well-known supporter of the Red Devils, having often been seen attending games at Old Trafford in recent years.
Fury has had enough of the current campaign, though, as he wrote on his Instagram story during the Brighton game: "Shocking, this. We are having a shocking season. Bring on 2022-23."
The 33-year-old recently retained his title and unbeaten record with a dominant win over Dillian Whyte, and claimed that he was retiring after the final bell.
However, Fury seemed to hint that he could yet stay in the sport in an accompanying video continuing his criticism of United, as he was heard saying: "I tell you what, nevermind the Gypsy King retiring. What you saying, United? Why don’t they f*cking retire?!"
Man Utd's worst-ever season confirmed
After being thrashed at Brighton, United are now guaranteed to finish with their worst-ever points tally in the Premier League, regardless of whether they win their final game against Crystal Palace.
The Red Devils can only get to 61 points, which would be three less than their previous worst showing after 38 games under David Moyes in 2013-14.
They have also now conceded 56 goals, the most in their history, and have lost five consecutive away games for the first time since 1981. | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/why-don-t-they-f-cking-retire-man-utd-slammed-by-tyson-fury/blt4048578abae82d3a | 2022-05-08T08:35:59Z | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/why-don-t-they-f-cking-retire-man-utd-slammed-by-tyson-fury/blt4048578abae82d3a | true | 11 |

Workers Day: Why you should consider on-demand salary payment for employees
Employee financial wellness has become a hot topic in small and medium-sized businesses as well as large corporations, particularly since the post-COVID-19 era.
Employee well-being discussions are now focusing on the relationship between employees’ financial stability and the output of their work. Businesses have been forced to reconsider workplace benefits and define the future of work, including motivations and compensation.
Engaging and retaining a pool of qualified and highly motivated employees to carry out the day-to-day responsibilities of their roles is critical to the success of any business venture in Nigeria. It is also critical that there are no (or at least minimal) distractions that could affect the quality of their output while they are carrying out the tasks assigned to them.
According to PwC’s 10th annual Employee Financial Wellness Survey, over 63 percent of employees’ stress levels rose during the pandemic, and many were four times more likely to struggle to meet monthly household expenses. According to the report, employees were twice as likely to have used a payday loan or payday advance.
Financial distress in Nigeria has recently reached an all-time high, prompting some employers to implement cost-cutting measures such as layoffs, salary reductions, and freezes on raises and bonuses.
Employers are in a difficult position, particularly because workforce productivity is directly proportional to the overall health of the company and its operations. As a result, employers must take deliberate steps to ensure that a framework that ensures employees’ financial wellness is embedded in the business’s organizational culture.
Given that many Nigerian businesses place a high value on key metrics such as productivity, retention, and physical health, it is now critical that employers implement innovative solutions that provide a certain level of security to protect the aforementioned metrics as well as the organization’s bottom line.
This is necessary to avoid productivity loss due to distractions, which can frequently result from unmet financial obligations. A quick poll of some Nigerian employees whose financial stress has increased in recent months due to inflation revealed that their finances have become a distraction at work.
These are the circumstances that have necessitated a greater focus on the financial well-being of employees worldwide.
One of the growing financial well-being solutions that has been proposed is on-demand pay. This system, also known as Earned Wage Access (EWA), allows employees to access wages earned prior to the traditional four-week payment cycle.
In essence, the salary on-demand model allows employees to access their earned wages. It is not a loan or an advance; it is money earned over a specific time period.
The co-founders of Cadana, a salary on-demand tech start-up based in Ghana with recent expansion into Nigeria, Albert Owusu-Asare and Ameer Shujja, are at the heart of this innovative solution for African businesses.
Cadana helps businesses delight their employees by offering a modern payroll platform that allows employees to access their earned salary on-demand, at any time, and from any location.
With the goal of accelerating wealth creation for African workers, the payment and salary on-demand company is developing a flexible, real-time, and borderless compensation solution.

Given how unpredictable our daily lives can be, unexpected bills and expenses can cause great distress for employees, forcing them to rely on payday loans with often unfavorable loan repayment terms.
Cadana is shaping the future of workplace compensation by collaborating on a vision to provide over 400 million African workers with financial solutions that will impact Africa’s work culture through increased productivity.
The appealing platform helps African Human Resource Managers with payroll, statutory compliance, onboarding, offboarding, reports, time tracking, and other processes.
Cadana’s time tracking solution automatically syncs with payroll to ensure seamless disbursement, making life easier for human resource managers and small business owners throughout the pay cycle.
With the current level of inflation experienced globally, and particularly in Nigeria, it is critical for business owners to investigate solutions such as Cadana to address issues relating to employees’ poor financial health, as these issues impede workforce productivity.
According to the Financial Wellbeing Index 2019, 19% of employers reported increased absenteeism due to financial difficulties. According to the same study, 22 percent of employers believe that poor financial health reduces productivity.
At this point, it is safe to say that on-demand pay, with the assistance of technology, can significantly reduce financial stress, resulting in a more motivated and productive workforce in Africa. | https://businessday.ng/opinion/article/workers-day-why-you-should-consider-on-demand-salary-payment-for-employees/ | 2022-05-08T08:50:38Z | https://businessday.ng/opinion/article/workers-day-why-you-should-consider-on-demand-salary-payment-for-employees/ | false | 1 |

Premier League: Advantage City as Spurs hold Liverpool, Brighton thrash Man Utd
Liverpool battled back to earn a point and return to the top of the table, but their 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday has handed Manchester City the opportunity to strengthen their position in the Premier League title race.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Liverpool battled back to earn a point and return to the top of the table, but their 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday has handed Manchester City the opportunity to strengthen their position in the Premier League title race. Luis Diaz brought Liverpool level with a 74th-minute strike after Son Heung-min's 20th goal of the season had threatened to earn Spurs a surprise away victory.
Liverpool are in first place on goal difference but Man City will now be looking to take full advantage of the Reds' setback by overcoming Newcastle United on Sunday and moving three points clear at the top with three matches remaining. Leandro Trossard scored one goal and created two others as Brighton & Hove Albion beat Manchester United 4-0 for their first home win of the year and ended their opponents' slim top-four hopes.
Brighton went ahead on 15 minutes through Moises Caicedo's first Premier League goal. Marc Cucurella doubled Brighton's lead on 49 minutes when he hammered in Trossard's pass for his maiden PL goal as well. Trossard then teed up Pascal Gross to slot home Brighton's third eight minutes later. The Belgian added his name to the scoresheet three minutes later, bundling in the ball on the hour-mark.
At Stamford Bridge, Conor Coady's late header helped Wolverhampton Wanderers fight back from two goals down to snatch a dramatic draw. Romelu Lukaku had put Chelsea ahead on 56 minutes with a penalty, after he had been fouled by Romain Saiss. The Belgian scored his second two minutes later, curling in from Christian Pulisic's pass.
Wolves pulled one back on 79 minutes with a brilliant goal from substitute Trincao after he had been set up by Chiquinho. And seven minutes into stoppage time Coady headed in Chiquinho's cross to stun Chelsea, who are without a win in three. (ANI)

Vada McQueary sentenced for role in regional drug ring
ZANESVILLE — A Zanesville woman will go to prison for her role in a drug ring that spanned across the region.
Last June, Vada McQueary, 56, pleaded guilty to one first-degree felony count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, one fifth-degree felony count of permitting drug abuse with a forfeiture specification and one third-degree felony count of money laundering.
Last week, she was sentenced to four to six years in prison on those charges.
McQueary was accused of selling drugs as part of a large regional operation that spanned within the community, across much of southeastern Ohio and parts of West Virginia. Several others have already been charged and sentenced for their involvement.
According to prosecutors, McQueary was selling drugs out of her Brighton Boulevard home. Sixty grams of fentanyl and 619 grams of methamphetamine were discovered after law enforcement executed a search warrant on her home last year.
Her son, Tyler Kinchen, was reportedly working with McQueary to distribute the drugs. He is spending 11 to 26-and-a-half years in prison for his connection to major dealers in the community.
Seventeen people have been charged for alleged involvement the operation. Some of them have already been sentenced.
Among them, Deangelo Tellis, of Columbus, was recently sentenced to over 16 years in prison for a lead role in the enterprise. Victoria Barrientos is serving an 18 months for managing money and hiding assets, and her mother, Misty Barrientos, is serving a six-year sentence for her role trafficking drugs.
The investigation into the trafficking ring yielded 30 pounds of methamphetamine and two pounds of fentanyl with a combined estimated street value of $620,750. Additionally, 13 firearms and $9,000 were also seized in Muskingum County.

When car companies add features to a car, do they have to test them to make sure they don’t cause driver distraction? I was with a friend who was driving on a winding mountain road and his luxury car’s voice-activated infotainment system was repeatedly activated during our conversation – even though we didn’t say the keyword that activates it. He was fumbling at the screen and trying to find cancel. On the way back from our hike, he was trying to send a text using voice commands and it took the system four or five times to get it right. The same thing happened when he tried to add a destination into the GPS [navigation system]. Even though it was hands-free, he kept looking at the screen in frustration – on a foggy road frequented by cyclists. Are there any standards car companies have to follow? – Michael, Vancouver
Just because something’s built into your car, don’t assume it’s safe to use while driving, said a distracted-driving researcher.
“A lot of times, people buying a car think that since the car manufacturer put something in the car, it must be safe and easy to use,” said David Strayer, a professor of cognitive neurology at the University of Utah. “It has not been thoroughly tested – and in many cases, a lot of the features are distracting.”
While some manufacturers do test their infotainment systems – which can use touch screens and voice commands to control music, navigation, hands-free calling and other functions – to see how distracting they are to drivers, many don’t, Strayer said. Worse, there are no mandatory regulations or government tests dictating how infotainment systems and hands-free features should work.
The United States and Canada have guidelines recommending that screens be easy to see and reach, that text be legible and that certain tasks, such as using a keypad, be inaccessible while driving, but they’re voluntary.
In a 2017 study for the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation for Traffic Safety, Strayer evaluated the infotainment systems in 40 new 2017 and 2018 vehicles for visual distraction (how long it took a driver’s eyes off the road) and cognitive distraction (how long it took a driver’s mind off the task of driving).
All of the systems were found to be distracting, with 27 out of 40 having distraction levels rated “very high” or “high.”
“There were some cars where the systems were so horrible that people [in the study] didn’t want to drive them,” Strayer said.
For instance, 12 of the 30 cars let drivers physically program directions into the GPS system – which took an average of 40 seconds – while the car was moving.
If you’re driving at 50 kilometres an hour, you’ll travel more than 550 metres – the length of four Canadian football fields – in 40 seconds.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto fared better than automaker’s systems, but they were still distracting, Strayer said.
Even though the study was five years ago, it still applies now, Strayer said. “It would be worse now, since cars have a lot more gadgets.”
Ideally, new cars should be independently tested and have distraction ratings – similar to the crash safety ratings done now by the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), he said.
“If you’re buying a car, you would be able to see how distracting it is,” Strayer said.
Driven to distraction?
A Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) survey released in April found that 79 per cent of respondents said they’d been distracted while driving.
The top causes of distraction? In order, they were eating and drinking, interacting with the vehicle’s infotainment system, using voice-activated features, and using a phone hands-free.
“Just because the technology exists, that doesn’t mean it’s not distracting or that it will work properly,” said Kristine D’Arbelles, CAA’s senior director of public affairs. “Just because the technology is there, it doesn’t mean we have to use it.”
To minimize distraction while you’re driving, D’Arbelles recommends setting “whatever you can” before you start driving.
That includes selecting a playlist or podcast and setting your destination in your GPS and making sure it’s right.
D’Arbelles also recommends setting your phone to “do not disturb” so you won’t get texts or calls while driving.
Hands-free calling and texting – even just the sound of the alert that you have an incoming text or call – can steal your attention away from driving, she said.
But distractions don’t just come from technology – a bag falling off the front seat or a spilled latte can also take your eyes and mind off the road.
That’s why CAA says you should stow away loose objects, including your phone, before you start driving, and avoid eating and drinking while you’re on the road.
“We’re trying to be as reasonable as possible – taking a sip of your Starbucks is probably not as bad as having your eyes glued to your phone or taking a driving selfie,” D’Arbelles said. “But if you have a Starbucks [cup] in your hand and a child runs onto the street or a cyclist comes around the corner, it might take you longer to react.”
Could you get a ticket for distracted driving if you’re scrolling through menus to change the radio station or eating a hamburger?
While the rules vary by province, most are similar. While Alberta has a specific law against distracted driving that includes flossing your teeth, most provinces don’t have laws specifically against distracted driving.
Instead, they have laws against using an electronic device while driving.
But in every province, you can still get charged with careless driving if you’re distracted by something else and involved in a crash.
In British Columbia, for instance, you could be charged with using an electronic device while driving – which triggers a $368 fine and four demerit points – if you’re physically touching a phone or tablet, said Corporal Mike Halskov, a spokesman for B.C. Highway Patrol.
But if some other distraction causes you to crash, you could be charged with careless driving – which comes with a $368 fine and six demerit points, Halskov said.
In 2020, the most recent year with complete data, there were 3,003 tickets issued in British Columbia for careless driving and 22,369 for using an electronic device while driving.
“Distracted driving is now the second-leading cause of fatal crashes in B.C., behind speeding,” Halskov said.

ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Homology Medicines, Inc. Investors With Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important May 24 Deadline in Securities Class Action - FIXX
NEW YORK, May 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Homology Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIXX) between June 10, 2019 and February 18, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important May 24, 2022lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Homology securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Homology class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4851 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 24, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Homology had overstated the efficacy and risk mitigation regarding HMI-102, which is in Phase I/II pheNIX clinical trial and a gene therapy for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU) in adults; (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that Homology would be able to commercialize HMI-102 in its present form; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Homology class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4851 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Horford racked up 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 16 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 39 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 loss to the Bucks.
The double-double was Horford's third straight in the postseason, and Saturday's performance was likely his finest of the campaign overall. The veteran center racked up season-high totals in both points and rebounds while chipping in his most assists of the postseason thus far. For good measure, Horford added a pair of blocks and did not turn the ball over across 39 minutes. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/celtics-al-horford-records-big-double-double-saturday/ | 2022-05-08T09:23:18Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/celtics-al-horford-records-big-double-double-saturday/ | false | null |
NEW YORK (AP) — One of the more striking pieces of journalism from the Ukraine war featured intercepted radio transmissions from Russian soldiers indicating an invasion in disarray, their conversations even interrupted by a hacker literally whistling “Dixie.”
It was the work of an investigations unit at The New York Times that specializes in open-source reporting, using publicly available material like satellite images, mobile phone or security camera recordings, geolocation and other internet tools to tell stories.
The field is in its infancy but rapidly catching on. The Washington Post announced last month it was adding six people to its video forensics team, doubling its size. The University of California at Berkeley last fall became the first college to offer an investigative reporting class that focuses specifically on these techniques.
Two video reports from open-source teams — The Times' “Day of Rage” reconstruction of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and the Post's look at how a 2020 racial protest in Washington's Lafayette Square was cleared out — won duPont-Columbia awards for excellence in digital and broadcast journalism.
The Ukraine radio transmissions, where soldiers complained about a lack of supplies and faulty equipment, were verified and brought to life with video and eyewitness reports from the town where they were operating.
At one point, what appears to be a Ukrainian interloper breaks in.
“Go home,” he advised in Russian. “It's better to be a deserter than fertilizer.”
The Times' visual investigations unit, begun in 2017 and now numbering 17 staff members, “is absolutely one of the most exciting areas of growth that we have,” said Joe Kahn, incoming executive editor.
The work is meticulous. “Day of Rage” is composed mostly of video shot by protesters themselves, in the heady days before they realized posting them online could get them into trouble, along with material from law enforcement and journalists. It outlines specifically how the attack began, who the ringleaders were and how people were killed.
Video sleuthing also contradicted an initial Pentagon story about an American drone strike that killed civilians in Afghanistan last year. “Looking to us for protection, they instead became some of the last victims in America's longest war,” the report said.
“There's just this overwhelming amount of evidence out there on the open web that if you know how to turn over the rocks and uncover that information, you can connect the dots between all these factoids to arrive at the indisputable truth around an event,” said Malachy Browne, who leads the Times' team.
“Day of Rage” has been viewed nearly 7.3 million times on YouTube. A Post probe into the deaths at a 2021 Travis Scott concert in Houston has been seen more than 2 million times, and its story on George Floyd's last moments logged nearly 6.5 million views.
The Post team is an outgrowth of efforts begun in 2019 to verify the authenticity of potentially newsworthy video. There are many ways to smoke out fakes, including examining shadows to determine if the apparent time of day in the video corresponds to when the activity supposedly captured actually took place.
“The Post has seen the kind of impact that this kind of storytelling can have,” said Nadine Ajaka, leader of its visual forensics team. “It's another tool in our reporting mechanisms. It's really nice because it's transparent. It allows readers to understand what we know and what we don't know, by plainly showing it.”
Still new, the open-source storytelling isn't bound by rules that govern story length or form. A video can last a few minutes or, in the case of “Day of Rage,” 40 minutes. Work can stand alone or be embedded in text stories. They can be investigations or experiences; The Times used security and cell-phone video, along with interviews, to tell the story of one Ukraine apartment house as Russians invaded.
Leaders in the field cite the work of the website Storyful, which calls itself a social media intelligence agency, and Bellingcat as pioneers. Bellingcat, an investigative news website, and its leader, Eliot Higgins, are best known for covering the Syrian civil war and investigating alleged Russian involvement in shooting down a Malaysian Airlines flight over Ukraine in 2014.
The Arab Spring in the early 2010s was another key moment. Many of the protests were coordinated in a digital space and journalists who could navigate this had access to a world of information, said Alexa Koenig, executive director of the Human Rights Center at the University of California at Berkeley's law school.
The commercial availability of satellite images was a landmark, too. The Times used satellite images to quickly disprove Russian claims that atrocities committed in Ukraine had been staged.
Other technology, including artificial intelligence, is helping journalists who seek information about how something happened when they couldn't be on the scene. The Times, in 2018, worked with a London company to artificially reconstruct a building in Syria that helped contradict official denials about the use of chemical weapons.
Similarly, The Associated Press constructed a 3D model of a theater in Mariupol bombed by the Russians and, combining it with video and interviews with survivors, produced an investigative report that concluded more people died there than was previously believed.
AP has also worked with Koenig's team on an investigation into terror tactics by Myanmar's military rulership, and used modeling for an examination on the toll of war in a neighborhood in Gaza. It is collaborating with PBS' Frontline to gather evidence of war crimes in Ukraine and is further looking to expand its digital efforts. Experts cite BBC's “Africa Eye” as another notable effort in the field.
As efforts expand, Koenig said journalists need to make sure their stories drive the tools that are used, instead of the other way around. She hears regularly now from news organizations looking to build their own investigate units and need her advice — or students. Berkeley grad Haley Willis is on Browne's team at The Times.
It feels, Koenig said, like a major shift has happened in the past year.
Browne said the goal of his unit's reporting is to create stories with impact that touch upon broader truths. A probe about a Palestinian medic shot by an Israeli soldier on the Gaza strip was as much about the conflict in general than her death, for example.
“We have similar mandates,” the Post's Ajaka said, “which is to help make sense of some of the most urgent news of the day.” | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Detailed-open-source-news-investigations-are-17157369.php | 2022-05-08T09:27:16Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Detailed-open-source-news-investigations-are-17157369.php | false | 37 |
Jack Willis' wise half-time words were highlighted by head coach Lee Blackett as Wasps came from behind to secure a European Challenge Cup semi-final.
Wasps were camped in Edinburgh's 22 at the end of the first half with their pack firmly on top but couldn't land a killer blow as they trailed 17-10 at the break.
Tries from props Biyi Alo and Tom West after the interval got the Black and Golds ahead on the scoreboard before a late momentum swing saw their Scottish hosts edge ahead with five minutes remaining.
But Wasps held their nerve and Alfie Barbeary powered over in the last five minutes to book a last-four showdown with Lyon next weekend.
"We're on their line for what felt like about 10 or 15 minutes and came away with nothing," Blackett told BBC CWR's Alec Blackman. "It felt a big shift in momentum, and that's what the guys spoke about inside [at half-time].
"I thought Jack Willis spoke really well in terms of, "look, we've shown ourselves, how to go and win this game" and I thought the pack did that, so the pleasing thing was out there they found a way to win us the game and get us through to the semi-final and that's what the pack did. I thought it was a game just built around the pack."
Wasps pushed Edinburgh off their own ball in the game's first scrum and pressure applied by tighthead Alo prompted a substitution before half-time as home loosehead Harrison Courtney was withdrawn to get Scotland loosehead Pierre Schoeman onto the pitch.
"We know how good Edinburgh's scrum is so we were very much aware of that," added Blackett. "As we did last week I thought we got the edge against London Irish in the scrum, and that's the pleasing thing. I think the pack have definitely upped it a gear in training and definitely, in the last couple of months, they've taken it to another level.
"I think a big thing with that is having bodies fit, and people to train against, and as you've seen with the recruitment and everything around this club, we're trying to build a team around a pack, because we see how influential it can be on games and they're starting to deliver, they really are. They win games on their own which today felt like that. Yes, there were other bits and bobs but actually it was a game built around our pack." | https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/jack-willis-half-time-words-23896104 | 2022-05-08T09:37:11Z | https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/jack-willis-half-time-words-23896104 | true | 1 |

Investors in M.P. Evans Group (LON:MPE) have made a favorable return of 50% over the past three years
By buying an index fund, investors can approximate the average market return. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. Just take a look at M.P. Evans Group PLC (LON:MPE), which is up 35%, over three years, soundly beating the market decline of 1.1% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 29% in the last year , including dividends .
So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 3 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.
See our latest analysis for M.P. Evans Group
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
During three years of share price growth, M.P. Evans Group achieved compound earnings per share growth of 152% per year. This EPS growth is higher than the 11% average annual increase in the share price. So it seems investors have become more cautious about the company, over time. We'd venture the lowish P/E ratio of 7.30 also reflects the negative sentiment around the stock.
You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).
It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of M.P. Evans Group's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
What About Dividends?
When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, M.P. Evans Group's TSR for the last 3 years was 50%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that M.P. Evans Group has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 29% in the last twelve months. Of course, that includes the dividend. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 10% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for M.P. Evans Group (1 is a bit concerning) that you should be aware of.
But note: M.P. Evans Group may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).

Philippines on high alert as all systems go for election
The Philippine police and military said on Sunday they were on high alert as last-minute preparations continued for the country's general election, even as the overall situation remained "relatively peaceful". Filipinos vote on Monday to choose President Rodrigo Duterte's successor, a vice president, 12 senators, hundreds of congressmen and thousands of governors, mayors and provincial and city councillors.

The Philippine police and military said on Sunday they were on high alert as last-minute preparations continued for the country's general election, even as the overall situation remained "relatively peaceful".
Filipinos vote on Monday to choose President Rodrigo Duterte's successor, a vice president, 12 senators, hundreds of congressmen, and thousands of governors, mayors, and provincial and city councilors. The presidential race is a rematch between Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the country's late dictator, and Leni Robredo, the human rights lawyer who narrowly beat him in the 2016 vice presidential contest.
Three months of divisive campaigning ended on Saturday, with Marcos and Robredo making final bids to sway undecided voters with patriotic, upbeat messages. Duterte did not endorse a presidential candidate, but his party backs frontrunners Marcos and his running mate, Duterte's daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio.
"We are ready for any contingencies," Armed Forces chief Lieutenant General Andres Centino told a media briefing with police officer-in-charge Lieutenant General Vicente Danao and senior election commission officials. "We are committed... to ensure that we have secure, accurate, free, and fair elections tomorrow."
Political violence, cheating allegations, and vote-buying marred previous elections in the Philippines. But the police said they have recorded far fewer poll-related offenses than in the 2016 general election and 2019 mid-term polls. "Hopefully we can maintain this tranquillity up to the last day of our electoral process," Danao said.
Philippine National Police spokesperson Jean Fajardo told another briefing the pre-election situation was "relatively peaceful", with 16 election-related offenses, including shootings in Nueva Ecija and Ilocos Sur provinces. Voting will be longer than usual to accommodate COVID-19 safety measures.
Guia Morris, principal at Jacinto Zamora Elementary School in Manila, said they have spent weeks cleaning and disinfecting the rooms where voting will be done. "The teachers are all prepared, and they attended orientation and seminars about the election," she said.

Red Soviet flags and orange-and-black striped military ribbons are on display in Russian cities and towns. Neighborhoods are staging holiday concerts. Flowers are being laid by veterans’ groups at monuments to the Great Patriotic War, as World War II is known in the country.
At first glance, preparations for Monday’s celebration of Victory Day, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, seem to be the same as ever.
But the mood this year is very different, because Russian troops are fighting and dying again.
And this battle, now in its 11th week, is going on in neighboring Ukraine, against what the government has falsely called a campaign against “Nazis.”
The pride and patriotism usually associated with Russia’s most important holiday, marked by a huge parade of soldiers and military hardware through Red Square, is mixing with apprehension and unease over what this year’s Victory Day may bring.
Some Russians fear that President Vladimir Putin will use it to declare that what the Kremlin has previously called a “special military operation” in Ukraine will now be a full-fledged war — bringing with it a broad mobilization of troops to bolster Russia’s forces.
“I can’t remember a time when the May 9 holiday was anticipated with such anxiety,” historian Ivan Kurilla wrote on Facebook.
Ukraine’s intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said Moscow was covertly preparing such a plan. British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told LBC Radio that Putin was “laying the ground for being able to say, ‘Look, this is now a war against Nazis, and what I need is more people.’”
The Kremlin denied having such plans, calling the reports “untrue” and “nonsense.”
Asked by The Associated Press on Friday whether mobilization rumors could dampen the Victory Day mood, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “nothing will cast a shadow” over “the sacred day, the most important day” for Russians.
Still, human rights groups reported a spike in calls from people asking about laws concerning mobilization and their rights in case of being ordered to join the military.
“Questions about who can be called up and how have started to flow on a mass scale through our hotline about the rights of conscripts and the military,” said Pavel Chikov, founder of the Agora legal aid group, on the messaging app Telegram.
Russian state TV has ramped up the patriotic rhetoric. In announcing the Feb. 24 military operation, Putin declared it was aimed at the “demilitarization” of Ukraine to remove a perceived military threat to Russia by “neo-Nazis.”
A recent TV commentary said Putin’s words were “not an abstract thing and not a slogan” and praised Russia’s success in Ukraine, even though Moscow’s troops have gotten bogged down, making only minor gains in recent weeks.
Ukraine, which has a democratically elected Jewish president who lost relatives in the Holocaust, and the West have condemned the remarks as a fictitious cover for a blunt act of aggression.
But many Russians fed a steady diet of the official narrative have cheered on their troops, comparing them to “our grandfathers” who fought the Germans.
Popular support in Russia for the war in Ukraine is difficult to gauge in a country that has seen a steady crackdown on journalists in recent years, with independent media outlets shut down and state-controlled television providing a pervasive influence.
A recent poll by the respected independent Levada Center found that 82% of Russians remain concerned by the military campaign in Ukraine. The vast majority of them – 47% – are worried about the deaths of civilians and Russian soldiers in the war, along with the devastation and suffering. Only 6% of those concerned by the war said they were bothered by the alleged presence of “Nazis” and “fascists” in Ukraine.
“A significant part of the population is horrified, and even those who support the war are in a permanent psychological militant state of a perpetual nightmare,” said political analyst Andrei Kolesnikov in a recent commentary.
A government campaign encouraging support for the military is using the distinctive black-and-orange St. George’s ribbon that is traditionally associated with Victory Day. The letter “Z” has become a symbol of the conflict, decorating buildings, posters and billboards across Russia, and many forms of it use the ribbon’s colors and pattern.
Rallies supporting the troops have taken place in recent days at World War II memorials, with participants singing wartime songs from the 1940s.
One official has suggested that Victory Day marchers display photos of soldiers now fighting in Ukraine. Normally on the holiday, Russians carry portraits of their relatives who took part in World War II to honor those in the so-called “Immortal Regiment” from a conflict in which the Soviet Union lost a staggering 27 million people.

The transfer portal was meant for players like Connor Vanover, who announced last week he was leaving Arkansas after two years and joining the basketball program at Oral Roberts.
Jaylin Williams clearly won the job at center for Arkansas and planted Vanover on the bench so much that Vanover didn't even play in the final 19 games last season.
"There were a lot of ups and downs," said Vanover, who contributed 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 29 games two years ago with the Razorbacks.
Good luck to you, Connor. I'm sure Razorback fans wish nothing but the best for you as you continue your education.
Conversely, the transfer portal was not mean for situations like the one that occurred in Miami, where guard Isaiah Wong threatened to leave the program unless he received an NIL (name, image, and likeness) deal that satisfied him.
"If Isaiah and his family don't feel that the NIL number meets their expectations, they will be entering the transfer portal tomorrow while maintaining his eligibility in the NBA draft and going through the draft process," Wong's agent, Adam Papas, told ESPN.
That's a bold statement, even by today's standards with free agency now an intricate part of the landscape for college athletics. Just unbelievably brash, especially for public consumption. I couldn't care less about Miami's basketball program but I hope the Hurricane tell Mr. Wong to just hit the road.
The transfer portal also was not mean for guys like Jordan Addison, the 2021 Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's best receiver. Jordan is already a star at Pittsburgh but he decided to place his name in the transfer portal and play at a different school while awaiting the 2023 NFL draft.
So, the coaching staff at Pitt, which at least deserves some credit for helping to develop young Mr. Addison, will likely lose him and his 1,000-plus receiving yards to another team. In another development related to the NIL, Wichita State fired athletic director Darron Boatright after pressure from its diehard fans because Boatright supposedly wasn't forceful enough in helping attract new players to replace the eight who had left through the transfer portal.
"Where we erred was focusing on educating our athletes about NIL and not just collecting cash and paying kids to come to Wichita State," Boatright was quoted as saying in a story by the Associated Press. "We were told all along this was not pay-for-play, but now it appears the NCAA has no problems with that, so why not?"
There is no bigger cheerleader for college basketball than Dick Vitale, a former coach and longtime ESPN analyst. Yet, Vitale is deeply troubled by the turn college athletics has taken, especially with top players being recruited through backwater channels from other teams.
"I spoke to a coach who told me that CHEATING is widespread in what is going on with the Transfer Portal," Vitale wrote on his Twitter page. "Promises behind the scenes r going on to PTPERS (prime-time players) that if they get their names in portal they will be offered . It's out of control & not good for the game."
What a mess. What an absolute mess.
I won't be surprised if some coaches confront other coaches about tampering during events like the annual SEC Football Media Days before the start of the season. It sure would liven up a drab and drawn-out process.
I hold the "pay-for-play" crowd who described college athletes on full scholarship and receiving a free education scholarship as being mistreated largely responsible for the mess that's been created. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a basketball Hall of Famer and social activist, suggested during a speech at the University of Arkansas a few years ago that a money pot should be established from which all the student-athletes on campus could withdraw. I don't think that's happened. Not even close.
If the backup catcher on the women's softball team is withdrawing the same amount for the kitty as the star quarterback, that's a story I've missed. If the star basketball basketball player is sharing his NIL money with the guys who rarely get off the bench, well, that's a story I've missed, too.
From what I've seen, college athletics have been reduced to the Haves and Have-nots.
It's no secret that top athletes are moving about freely and shopping for better deals through the NIL. But isn't the primary reason for going to college is to get an education, even for hotshot athletes who are one serious injury away from having their careers ended?
I hope that goal still holds true. For now, the value of a free education has been greatly reduced in college athletics, where free agency and cheating have become the norm.
It is a process without guard rails that can not stand. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/may/08/transfer-portal-quickly-spirals-out-of-control/ | 2022-05-08T10:41:40Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/may/08/transfer-portal-quickly-spirals-out-of-control/ | true | 1 |

CONTAMINATED LAND: Still some no-go areas, 55 years on Photo credit:CC/Schumi4ever
THE Spanish government’s legal service maintained that the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) was not responsible for eliminating radioactivity in Palomares.
Palomares was the 1966 scene of a “nuclear accident” when four unarmed thermonuclear bombs were released during a mid-air crash between two US aircraft.
Three fell on Palomares, contaminating a 2-square kilometre area, some of which still needs cleaning up and which environmentalist group Ecologistas en Accion insists is the CSN’s responsibility.
According to the Abogacia del Estado lawyers, the Royal Decree covering emergency measures to offset the consequences of the Ukrainian war meant that the CSN was not obliged to respond in court to Ecologistas en Accion’s claims that it should deal with any remaining Palomares contamination.
The Royal Decree clarified “indubitably” that the central government, via its Environment Ministry, was competent in this respect, the state lawyers declared.
Should doubts remain regarding the CSN’s obligation to set a deadline for decontaminating Palomares, the anti-crisis measures made necessary by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine meant that imposing decontamination activities “is not, and never has been” within the CSN’s remit, they said.

According to the group, the development will not, in any way, enhance the campaign fortunes of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is also a presidential aspirant on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
While addressing Taraba State delegates of the PDP on Saturday, Tambuwal was quoted to have asked for the resignation of Emefiele, who has yet to make a formal declaration to seek the presidential ticket of the APC.
The group has, therefore, enjoined the Sokoto chief executive to stop worrying the apex bank boss, who has yet to declare interest.
The NEYLC comprises the Arewa Consultative Youths Movement (ACYM), Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths Movement, Oduduwa Youths and Middle Belt Youths.
A statement by the Ohanaeze Youth Movement Secretary-General and Head of the Coalition’s secretariat, Nwada Ike Chiamaka, read: “We will like to tell Governor Tanbuwal that blowing off someone else’s candle will not make his own candle brighter.
“Let him know for a fact that his attack on Emefiele will not help his campaign to get the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which does not (allegedly) have steam or resonate with stakeholders in the party.
“We are offering Tambuwal a free counsel: that he should stop taking paracetamol for other people’s headache.” | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/ethnic-youth-leaders-to-tambuwal-attack-on-emefiele-wont-help-campaign/ | 2022-05-08T11:12:33Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/ethnic-youth-leaders-to-tambuwal-attack-on-emefiele-wont-help-campaign/ | false | 1 |
MADRID (AP) — Rafael Nadal one day. Novak Djokovic the next.
The list of victims of Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz keeps growing.
And so does the hype over tennis’ newest sensation.
After defeating his idol Nadal in the quarterfinals on Friday, the 19-year-old Alcaraz rallied to beat top-ranked Djokovic 6-7 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) after more than 3 1/2 hours on Saturday to reach the Madrid Open final.
“It was one of those matches to enjoy,” Alcaraz said. “Despite the tension, despite being the semifinals, being 7-6 in the third-set tiebreaker … I’ve enjoyed it. Until the last point I was being able to smile.”
In the women’s final, Ons Jabeur of Tunisia won her biggest career title by defeating Jessica Pegula of the U.S. in three sets.
Jabeur, the first Arab woman in the top 10, won 7-5, 0-6, 6-3 for her second career title.
“When I had the match point, I was like, I had to win it from the beginning, otherwise it’s going to be very tough for me,” Jabeur said. “But I’m very happy and trying to realize that I won today, really.”
Pegula, a one-time tour winner, will reach a career-high No. 11 ranking on Monday.
Alcaraz became the first player to beat Nadal and Djokovic at the same clay-court event. He converted his third match point in front of a raucous home crowd on the Caja Mágica center court.
“It’s a spectacular feeling right now,” Alcaraz said. “I’m very excited to be able to play these kind of matches, to be able to beat Rafa yesterday, to be able to beat the No. 1 today.”
A win on Sunday will give Alcaraz his fourth title this season, the most of any player.
He will face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. The second-seeded German player converted three of his five break opportunities to clinch the victory in nearly two hours in match that ended after 1 a.m. local time (2300 GMT).
Zverev is now 19-2 in Madrid, where he also won the title in 2018.
“This is my favorite court in the world,” Zverev said. “This is the Caja Mágica and it is doing magic for me because I came into this tournament playing really bad. I was not very confident I didn’t win a lot of matches this year but this court brings something out of me.”
The fourth-seeded Tsitsipas had beaten Zverev in the Monte Carlo semifinals earlier this year.
Alcaraz lost both matches he played against Zverev, all last year on hard courts.
“I know 99.999% percent of the people will be against me tomorrow but this is completely fine,” he said with a smile. “I’m still thankful that you guys are here at 1:10 a.m.. It’s going to be a fun match tomorrow.”
Zverev returned to the empty center court after his match to practice his service.
Alcaraz, the youngest player in the top 10 since Nadal in 2005, has won this year in Miami, Rio de Janeiro and Barcelona.
Djokovic remains without a title this season as he continues to try to regain his best form going into his title defense at the French Open this month.
“Congrats to him. He held his nerves very well,” Djokovic said. “For somebody of his age to play so maturely and courageously is impressive. He deserved to win.”
Alcaraz, the youngest ever to reach the Madrid semifinals, took an early lead in the first set but Djokovic rallied.
The Spaniard took the second set after Djokovic wasted three break opportunities to serve for the match, and kept the pressure on during the third until finally capitalizing on one of his many chances in the tiebreaker.
The match winner came was one of Alcaraz’s more than 30 forehand winners that kept Djokovic on the defensive throughout. Alcaraz had 51 winners to Djokovic’s 24.
“It was so close,” Alcaraz said. “He had the chances to break my serve at the end of the second set. In the first set as well it was so close in the tiebreak. Honestly I don’t know what made the difference.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Colorado goaltender Darcy Kuemper yanked his mask off and fell to the ice holding his head after being struck by a stick Saturday.
Play stopped with 56.6 seconds left in the first period against Nashville. Replays showed Predators center Ryan Johansen’s stick apparently poked through Kuemper’s mask. The goalie was able to skate off and headed to the locker room holding a towel to his face.
Johansen watched a replay of the injury while standing at the boards.
The Avalanche said at the start of the third period that Kuemper would not return to the game.
The top-seeded Avalanche led 2-1 with Kuemper making 10 saves when hurt, and he was replaced by Pavel Francouz. Kuemper won both games to start this series and he came into Game 3 with a 1.40 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage.
Kuemper went 37-12-4 helping Colorado take the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
He becomes the latest goalie injured. Casey DeSmith of Pittsburgh will miss the rest of the postseason after he had core surgery after leaving the second overtime of the Penguins’ Game 1 victory over the New York Rangers. Carolina’s Antti Raanta left a victory over Boston after David Pastrnak struck him in the head with a gloved hand.

MUMBAI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday flagged anonymity as an "inherent risk" in blockchain technology and called for taking precaution in future with a rise in the use of this technology.
The finance minister made it clear that using the distributed ledger technology (DLT), which is also called as blockchain, is "absolutely imperative" and the government also supports the use of the same.
The minister's remarks come ahead of the launch of the budgetary announcement of central bank digital currency (CBDC) which is based on the blockchain technology itself and is billed as being similar to the paper currency carried in our wallets.
"The anonymity is what one unknown element in this whole thing. The anonymity of the person or whoever or the robot is the one which we have to be absolutely readying ourselves as a future challenge," Sitharaman said, addressing an NSDL event here.
Sitharaman said the DLT is a beautiful technology which will help in democratisation but flagged anonymity as an "inherent risk" which we need to guard ourselves from.
Terming anonymity as a "powerful imponderable" in the whole equation, Sitharaman said, "unless we are able to guard ourselves against that anonymous element which can itself pose an inherent risk, we probably will be exposing ourselves much more than ever we would have imagined.
"Sitharaman commended capital markets regulator Sebi chief Madhabi Puri Buch, who spoke before her at the same event, for "rightly warning" us about the risk of anonymity, and also for advocating DLTs.
Buch said we do not wish to have anonymity in the CBDC, which is supposed to be introduced during the fiscal by the banking regulator RBI.
As per the central bank, considerable progress has been made regarding the introduction of the CBDC.
Meanwhile, Sitharaman said private cryptocurrency assets like Bitcoins are "fairly well spread" in India.
Buch said the strengths of DLTs include transparency, real time, infinite divisibility and it being a cost effective medium.
Sitharaman said the retail investment journey has transformed in the last two or three years, with new demat account opening zooming to 26 lakh per month in FY22 from 12 lakh in FY21 and just 4 lakh a month in FY20.
She said the retail investors act as "shock absorbers" as the foreign portfolio investors have come in and gone as per the global cues.
Pointing out the total USD 4 trillion in custody value held by NSDL, Sitharaman said the buoyancy in retail account opening is a prime reason for the high asset value.
A postage stamp and cover commemorating NSDL's 25-year-long journey was also launched at the event.
The depository also kick-started a programme aimed at initiating educating college students about capital markets. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/may/07/fm-flags-anonymity-as-inherent-risk-in-use-of-blockchaintechnology-2450932.html | 2022-05-08T11:20:55Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/may/07/fm-flags-anonymity-as-inherent-risk-in-use-of-blockchaintechnology-2450932.html | true | 5 |
Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in early April 2022, starting with this duo… On April 13, Page Six reported that, according to a source, 81-year-old actor Al Pacino started dating Mick Jagger's ex-girlfriend, 28-year-old socialite and aspiring film producer Noor Alfallah, sometime "during the pandemic." Said the source, "She mostly dates very rich older men. … She has been with Al for some time and they get on very well. The age gap doesn't seem to be a problem, even though he is older than her father. She moves with the wealthy jet-set crowd, and she comes from a family with money." Noor — who's more than five decades younger than her current beau — also previously romanced billionaire investor and philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen, who's 60. Meanwhile, Al's last girlfriend, "Weeds" actress Meital Dohan, infamously called him "an elderly man" in early 2020 after they called it quits. "It's hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino," she said at the time. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2590639859120/alana-haim-covers-a-goofy-movie-track-at-fan-s-request | 2022-05-08T11:23:39Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2590639859120/alana-haim-covers-a-goofy-movie-track-at-fan-s-request | true | 16 |

Laurel Santry will be remembered for her contribution to community arts in the Redlands.
Ms Santry of Ormiston died following an extended battle with ovarian cancer on April 17, aged 65.
Ms Santry, moved to the Redlands 45 years ago and taught dancing and aerobics to hundreds of children for about 20 years, sometimes teaming with her sister, Davidia Lind.
She and her husband Rob Santry, a local policeman, met at the Brisbane Bushwalking Club and the pair formed the Redland Bushwalking Club in 2002 in order to continue these pursuits. The pair received Life memberships in 2021.
Ms Santry was also a member and choreographer with the Redland Rhapsody Chorus (member since 1995) with the chorus performing at her funeral, held on April 23 at the Salvation Army church, at Alexandra Hills. The funeral was attended by more than 200 people.
Her son Michael Santry said the large number in attendance was testament to his mother's standing and respect in the community.
"She had an impact on a lot of people, touching a lot of lives, particularly in the performing arts arena," he said.
"Through singing Sweet Adeline chorus, she made a lot of friends, including internationally where the chorus competed. She made some life long friends that way."
She lived for some time in New Zealand in order to work with the Christchurch City Chorus for competition in the USA for the Sweet Adeline international competition. This way she built strong friendships in both countries.
Ms Santry was also a member of the Redland Adult Starter band and of Cleveland Crest while Rob Santry was in Apex.
Ms Santry was bornin 1957, the youngest child of Patricia and Victor Graydon. She had two siblings, Malcolm who shared her birthday by 11 years and a sister Davidia.
She attended West End State School and then Brisbane State High.
She and Rob were married in 1977, moving to Birkdale and having two sons - Michael in 1978 and Paul in 1980.
In latter years and through international competition with the Redland Rhapsody chorus, the couple travelled extensively including Borneo, Chile and Argentina, Africa, Tanzania Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, Kenya, Nubia, Zamia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Japan, Turkey, Canada, America and Europe.
Michael Santry said his mother always had a soft spot for children and sponsored Meta, a Cambodian orphan who she helped to graduate university.
Ms Santry had three grandchildren and two step grand children, Luca, Mica, Liam, Jaya and Asiya. | https://www.redlandcitybulletin.com.au/story/7729330/obit-laurel-santry/ | 2022-05-08T11:25:07Z | https://www.redlandcitybulletin.com.au/story/7729330/obit-laurel-santry/ | false | 1 |

Cyclone brewing over Bay of Bengal may skirt Andhra and Odisha coasts, moderate rainfall likely
The IMD has said light to moderate rainfall is likely to commence at many places in coastal districts of the state from Tuesday evening and heavy rainfall is expected at one or two places

BHUBANESWAR: The tropical storm brewing over the Bay of Bengal is likely to skirt the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts, said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday.
The well marked low pressure area concentrated into a depression and lay centred over south-east Bay of Bengal and adjoining Andaman Sea at 11.30 am, about 1,270 km south-east of Visakhapatnam and 1,300 km south-southeast of Puri.
“The tropical storm is likely to continue to move north-westwards and reach west-central and adjoining north-west Bay of Bengal off north Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coasts by May 10,” IMD DG, Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra told The New Indian Express.
The cyclonic storm is likely to skirt the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts. The system is expected to move along the Odisha coast but weaken gradually due to cold waters in north Bay of Bengal, said Mohapatra.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Centre has indicated a similar path of the tropical storm and has suggested it is very likely to move parallel to the Odisha coast towards the West Bengal and Bangladesh coasts.
Weather experts are of the opinion that the impending cyclone may have the same intensity as that of weak tropical storm Jawad, which had formed over the Bay of Bengal in December last year.
Meanwhile, the IMD has said light to moderate rainfall is likely to commence at many places in coastal districts of the state from Tuesday evening and heavy rainfall is expected at one or two places in Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri districts during the period.
Similarly, light to moderate rainfall is likely to occur at many places in coastal districts and heavy rainfall has been predicted at one or two places in Ganjam, Khurda, Puri, Jagatsinghpur and Cuttack districts on Wednesday.
Gale wind speed reaching 80 km/hr to 90 km/hr and gusting up to 100 km/hr is likely to prevail over west-central, adjoining north-west and east-central Bay of Bengal on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, gale wind speed reaching 70 km/hr to 80 km/hr and gusting up to 90 km/hr is expected to prevail over north-west and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal.
The national weather forecaster has advised fishermen to not venture into the deep sea area over central parts of Bay of Bengal on Monday and Tuesday, and over north-west Bay of Bengal on Tuesday and Wednesday. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/may/07/cyclone-brewing-over-bay-of-bengal-may-skirt-andhra-and-odisha-coasts-moderate-rainfall-likely-2450919.html | 2022-05-08T11:34:08Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/may/07/cyclone-brewing-over-bay-of-bengal-may-skirt-andhra-and-odisha-coasts-moderate-rainfall-likely-2450919.html | false | 1 |
British travel YouTuber detained at Russian space centre
Benjamin Rich denied he was arrested and said he had been questioned, fined and released
A British travel YouTuber, known for his videos exploring post-Soviet states, has been detained at a spaceport in Kazakhstan.
Benjamin Rich, whose Bald and Bankrupt channel has 3.53 million followers, confirmed he was questioned by police after visiting the Baikonur Cosmodrome but denied reports he had been arrested.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said in an online post that Rich and a woman named Alina Tseliupa had been detained near one of the launch pads at Baikonur, which Russia rents from Kazakhstan.
Local authorities were determining “the exact level of participation in illegal activities” by the pair, said Rogozin, who posted photos of Rich’s visa and Tseliupa’s passport.
A woman named Alina features in a number of Rich’s videos, but it was not immediately clear whether she and Tseliupa were the same person.
Posting later in his Instagram story, Rich denied he was arrested, claiming instead he was fined for not having a permission slip to see a Buran rocket - a Soviet-era orbiter similar to the US space shuttle.
He said: “I’ve woken up to a load of messages asking me if I’m ok. Apprently people think I’m in a Gulag because of some Twitter post.
“Basically I was questioned by Russian police for a few hours for going to see the Buran rocket without the special persmission and given a £60 administrative fine just like hundreds of foreign adventurers before me.”
Rich said he was not arrested as it was not a criminal offence to not have the permission slip, “ just an administrative offence meaning just a fine and told not to do it again just like smoking in the wrong place or jay walking”.
The most recent video on Rich’s channel was filmed in Syria and posted on 24 April.
An Instagram post last week referred to a “Syrian suntan and [being] back in a country with Soviet mosaics” but did not specify where he was.
The Independent contacted the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for comment.
Baikonur, once a closed Soviet city, is now open to tourists who apply for permission from Roscosmos. It lies in the steppe around 1,100 km (680 miles) southwest of the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan.

After the New York Mets poured in ninth-inning runs Thursday, the skies opened in Philadelphia, giving them 48 extra hours to celebrate one of their most improbable victories in franchise history.
Both Friday and Saturday games against the host Philadelphia Phillies were rained out, with one of the games rescheduled for Sunday as part of a single-admission doubleheader (starting at 12:35 p.m. ET). The other game will be made up Aug. 20 as part of a split-admission doubleheader.
The Mets won 8-7 in spectacular fashion on Thursday after scoring seven runs in the ninth inning. Over the past 25 seasons, they had trailed by at least six runs entering the ninth 330 times without a successful rally.
“I’m an optimist and I just keep going until they blow the whistle,” said Brandon Nimmo, who tied the game at 7 with a two-run single. “When it’s my turn, I give everything I got. It seems every guy on this team has the same mentality.”
Francisco Lindor said that the Mets simply refused to give up.
“I don’t think it was shock, I think it was just happiness,” Lindor said. “It’s like, ‘Yes, we’re doing it!’ We all believed it, but it’s just like, ‘It’s happening, it’s happening.’ You don’t have too many nights like that.”
The Mets are expected to send Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt to the mound for Sunday’s two games.
Scherzer (4-0, 2.61 ERA) is 16-4 with a 2.60 ERA in 27 career starts against the Phillies. In Scherzer’s most recent outing against the Phillies last Sunday, he gave up five hits and four runs in six innings, yet he and the Mets still won the game, 10-6.
He’s won 15 consecutive decisions, and that marked the 18th consecutive time he has taken the ball for a regular-season game (with three different teams) and his team has won, dating back to July 8 last season when he was with the Nationals.
Bassitt (3-2, 2.61 ERA) has never faced the Phillies.
The Phillies will attempt to erase the memory of Thursday’s maddening loss, which extended their current losing streak to four games. Philadelphia lost on the road to the Mets last Sunday and were swept in a two-game series by the Texas Rangers.
“You gotta bounce back,” Phillies manager Joe Girardi said. “This is as tough as it gets. You’re going to have these during the course of the year. And you’ve got to find a way to turn it around.”
After rallying to reach .500, the four consecutive losses have dropped the Phillies to 11-15.
“There’s a lot of fight in that room,” Girardi said. “They’ll come out fighting.”
There’s no time to pout in a 162-game regular season … unless perhaps you get a couple of rainouts to let it stew a bit.
“It sucks,” Kyle Schwarber said after the loss. “But what are you going to do? It’s over with. Move on tomorrow. You want to win a game, right? You always want to win a game every single day. Like, when we got no-hit, it’s just a loss. Tonight’s a loss. You’ve got to move onto the next day.”
The Phillies are expected to send Kyle Gibson and Zach Eflin to the mound.
Gibson (2-1, 2.93 ERA) is 1-3 with a 4.15 ERA in six career starts against the Mets. Eflin (1-2, 4.50 ERA) holds a 3-5 record with a 5.03 ERA in 14 career starts against the Mets.
Nick Castellanos is likely to play in at least one of the games after being hit by Adonis Medina on the hand in the sixth inning Thursday.
“X-ray’s were clean,” Castellanos said. “I just wanted to see a clean X-ray. It’s the wrist I broke last year, so I’m not a stranger to getting hit in the hand area.”
Didi Gregorius, however, was placed on the 10-day Injured List with a sprained left knee; Bryson Stott was recalled.

Men Invite Local Singer To Fake Marriage Function, Allegedly Gangrape Her At Gunpoint In Patna
Three men of Patna’s Ram Krishna Nagar locality allegedly gangraped 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 the Jahanabad district.
As per her statement, three youths named Pintu Kumar, Sanjiv Kumar and Karu Kumar booked her for a marriage function.
"Shocked to see no 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 a gun at 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.
Medical examination confirms rape
During the investigation, it appeared that Pintu Kumar was known to the victim. He has booked her for singing at the marriage function.
The medical examination of the victim has confirmed rape.
The accused are booked under section 376 D (Gang Rape) of the IPC and 34 (Criminal conspiracy) arms act and other relevant sections of IPC, Ranjan said.
In yet another case of sexual assault in Bihar, a 50-year-old man was arrested from Samastipur, Bihar after a video of him raping his daughter went viral on social media.
The accused man is a teacher by profession and a resident of Rosera in Samastipur. His 18-year-old daughter accused him of raping and threatening her. She even shot a video of the assault using a hidden camera to expose her father.
The horrific incident came to light when the daughter shot a video of her father raping her and shared the clip on social media to seek justice.

Kajal Aggarwal called out for copying poem on Mother's Day

Mumbai, May 8 Actress Kajal Aggarwal, who is known for her work in films like 'Singham' and 'Special 26', recently faced flak on social media as she was called out for ripping off a poem by an Instagram user.
Kajal, who also shared the first picture of her son Neil with a heartfelt note on Sunday, had penned a poem for her mother as she expressed her gratitude towards her mother Suman Aggarwal for being the best grandmother to Neil.
Taking to her Instagram, Kajal had shared a 7-page creative where she wrote, "Dear Mum, In the past, I've thanked you "For all that you've done for me". Yet recently I've come to learn what those words truly mean. Something has changed within me, Mum, I'm no longer that same girl I've crossed over a threshold, stepped into another world. It seems the light is different here, it's changed all that I knew, And now I have come face-to-face with another side of you."
She continued, "Some nights, I have been wide awake Rocking my babe in the dark, Thinking, is this how you held me, too? With my head pressed against your heart? Did you ever gaze at me and wish you could just press pause on time? Or study my tiny features, and think 'How could you really be mine?' Did you ever have the strangest sense that I was still part of you? That my soul extended from your own, That my heart was your heart, too?"
Curious how things would have been back in the day for her mother, the actress then went on to ask several questions through her poem, "And Mum, did you ever mourn the girl that you had been before?
"I'm nervous to say, but were there days you didn't want to be 'Mum' anymore? For this is what I've been through, Mum, and it's made me weep for you, As I realised that this might be what you went through for me, too. I know I have not journeyed far down this path of motherhood, yet the extent of what you've done for me Is slowly being understood."
She further wrote, "So Mum, I deeply thank you for those long and loving years When you sacrificed it all and gave your strength, your heart, your tears. Thank you for shouldering broken sleep, and soothing my little head, thank you for laying twisted and stiff So that I could share your bed. Thank you for singing through the pain as you nursed me at your breast. Thank you for rocking me, hours on end In the arms that I loved best."
She felt sorry for the times when the two got into altercations, "And thanks for greeting me every day With games and songs and smiles, I hope the love and joy we've shared helped make it all worthwhile. I'm sorry for all the times we fought, as do all girls and their mothers. My words are like barbs, piercing a heart that had loved me like no other. And I really mean it when I say It's a privilege, sure and true, To navigate my motherhood With a compass whose North is you."
"For life has come full-circle, now I nurse my own baby, whispering those lullabies that you once sang to me. So Mum-Mum, if you wondered then as you held me, just us two, whether I'd ever understand those years of me and you. How it felt to put yourself second so that I always came first, exhausted by a perfect love that made your whole heart burst."
"It seems this baby has been a gift, A mirror into our pasts, Reflecting a time when I was your babe, A time of firsts, and lasts. And though your efforts then are still Being understood by me, I've always carried those days with me - For our love is their legacy. So thank you, Mum, for something That in my heart I always knew: I know who loved me like no one else could, It was you, it was you, it was you", She concluded the poem.
The Instagram user who goes by the name Sarah took objection to Kajal's post as the former wrote, "My Dear Mum poem passed off as original work by Kajal Aggarwal. The weird copy of my original caption with...a few words swapped out makes me think it isn't an honest mistake."
After her objection gained momentum on social media, Kajal edited her poem and gave due credit to Sarah. However, the comments on Kajal's post have been turned off.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — During his election campaign, South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol had tough words for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying he would teach his rival some manners and sternly deal with his provocative missile tests with a strengthened alliance with the United States.
But as he takes office Tuesday for a single five-year term, the conservative Yoon must now confront an increasingly belligerent Kim, who openly threatens to use atomic bombs and is reportedly preparing for his first nuclear test explosion since 2017, part of an effort to build warheads that specifically target South Korea.
North Korea has a history of trying to rattle new governments in Seoul and Washington to gain leverage in future negotiations. But if Kim orders a nuclear test, Yoon would be left with very limited options to deal with Kim at the start of his presidency.
There’s skepticism among experts over whether Yoon, despite his rhetoric, can accomplish something meaningfully different from outgoing President Moon Jae-in while North Korea continues to reject talks and focuses instead on expanding its nuclear and missile programs despite limited resources and economic difficulties.
“North Korea has the initiative. Regardless of whether conservatives or liberals are in power in South Korea, North Korea is pressing ahead with (missile tests) under its own weapons development timetable before it tries to tip the balance later,” said Park Won Gon, a professor at Seoul’s Ewha Womans University. “North Korea will now continue its provocations, but there are no ways to stop it.”
Moon championed engaging North Korea and once shuttled between Pyongyang and Washington to arrange the now-stalled nuclear diplomacy. Even after North Korea urged Moon not to meddle in its dealings with Washington and insulted him, Moon still worked to improve relations and shied away from hitting back at the North.
Yoon has described Moon’s appeasement policy as “subservient” and accused him of undermining South Korea’s seven-decade military alliance with the United States. To neutralize North Korea’s nuclear threats, Yoon said he would seek a stronger U.S. security commitment and enhance South Korea’s own missile strike capabilities, though he remains open to dialogue with the North.
During a rally before the March 9 election, as he slammed Moon for failing to strongly criticize Kim’s repeated missile tests, Yoon said that if elected, “I would teach (Kim) some manners and make him come to his senses completely.”
Yoon has faced criticism that some of his policies are unrealistic and largely rehash past policies that failed to persuade North Korea to denuclearize.
For example, Yoon said he would push for economic cooperation projects linked to progress in denuclearization steps by the North. Two past South Korean conservative presidents offered similar proposals from 2008 to 2017, but North Korea rejected the overtures.
Yoon said he would seek to establish a trilateral dialogue channel among Seoul, Pyongyang and Washington, but experts see little chance North Korea, which destroyed an unoccupied South Korean-built liaison office on its territory in 2020, will accept that idea now.
“The U.S.-South Korea alliance could flourish, but North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile program will further advance and that could elevate tensions on the Korean Peninsula to maximum levels. It’s hard to expect any meaningful progress in inter-Korean relations,” said Yang Moo Jin, a professor at Seoul’s University of North Korean Studies.
Nam Sung-wook, a professor at Korea University in South Korea, said a policy of linking incentives to denuclearization “has reached its limits and will eventually never appeal to North Korea” because Pyongyang is highly unlikely to abandon a nuclear program that has reached such strength.
During his confirmation hearing last Monday, Yoon’s nominee for foreign minister, Park Jin, told lawmakers that North Korea “appears to have no intentions of denuclearizing voluntarily.” He said the best option to stop North Korean provocation would be using a combination of pressure and dialogue to convince Pyongyang to opt for a path toward denuclearization.
After test-launching a dozen missiles potentially capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, South Korea or Japan this year, Kim recently said his nuclear weapons won’t be confined to their primary mission of deterring war if his country’s interests are threatened. Park, the professor, called Kim’s comments “dangerous” because they suggest North Korea could use its nukes even in an accidental border clash or if it misjudges Seoul’s military moves.
Recent satellite photos show North Korea is restoring a previously closed nuclear testing facility in possible preparation for its seventh atomic explosion. Experts say that test is related to North Korea’s push to manufacture warheads small enough to be mounted on tactical short-range missiles targeting South Korea, citing some of the North’s recent tests of such weapons. Nam said a nuclear test would make it extremely difficult for the Yoon government to try to resume talks with North Korea.
Kim seems to be trying to use his weapon tests to force the West to accept his country as a nuclear power so he can try to negotiate sanctions relief and security concessions from a position of strength. Experts say Kim is able to push forward his weapons programs because the U.N. Security Council cannot impose new sanctions while its veto-wielding members are divided. The U.S. is involved in confrontations with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and with China over their strategic rivalry.
Yoon’s possible overdependence on the U.S. alliance may cause Seoul to further lose voice in international efforts to defuse the North Korean nuclear issue while giving Pyongyang less reason to engage in serious talks with Seoul, said Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University’s Institute for Far Eastern Studies in Seoul. He said Seoul would need to create wiggle room for nuclear diplomacy and lure Pyongyang to talks with a flexible carrots-and-sticks approach.
How to boost the South Korea-U.S. alliance to better deal with North Korean nuclear advancement will likely top the agenda when Yoon meets President Joe Biden in Seoul on May 21.
Yoon has promised to seek a tougher U.S. extended deterrence, a reference to Washington’s ability to use military and nuclear forces to deter attacks on its allies. But some experts question whether such a security commitment can effectively protect South Korea from aggression from North Korea because the decision to use U.S. nuclear weapons lies with the U.S. president.
“Historically, it’s true the extended deterrence has never been enforced. In some sense, it’s like a gentlemen’s agreement,” Park, the professor, said. “Even if we succeed in institutionalizing that to the maximum level, that still doesn’t guarantee an automatic U.S. involvement” in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/s-koreas-next-leader-faces-escalating-n-korean-nuke-threat/ | 2022-05-08T12:15:13Z | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/s-koreas-next-leader-faces-escalating-n-korean-nuke-threat/ | true | 21 |
My religious institutional history is disappearing in my lifetime.
St. Bridget’s Church, Jersey City, where my parents married 72 years ago next month and where I was baptized, is being converted to high-end condominiums. Its school, which my mother attended, convent and rectory had been developed, thankfully, though, into affordable senior citizen housing a few years ago.
My grammar school, Holy Rosary, a few blocks down on Brunswick Street, is now a chic exercise facility, child care and café. It is, however, still owned by the church, which rents it out.
I said my first Mass in the modern St. Peter’s Church on York Street, which was sold to St. Peter’s Prep and is now called The Commons. The school uses it for plays, socials, etcetera, adorned with contemporary stained glass church windows.
Marist High School in Bayonne, where I taught for four years, is likely to be demolished soon.
All the memories and sacrifices of the mostly immigrant Catholics who built and sustained these institutions through the decades are part of history. The religious groups that were flourishing only 50 years ago are slowly diminishing and scrounging for resources that their parishioners can no longer afford. There are fewer people in the pews and the pandemic made it worse when it was almost impossible to attract new people.
The recent purchase of St. Rocco’s Church hall by the Township of North Bergen for $2 million shows that the trend that started in the 1980s continues. It was back then that the former St. Michael’s convent, grammar and high school buildings in Jersey City were developed into condominiums.
A new, state-of-the-art homeless shelter is being built across the street from the closed St. Lucy’s Church, near the Holland Tunnel, whose school now houses the adapted shelter. But to get the new shelter built, the Archdiocese of Newark made a deal with a high-end developer, who will retain the front shell of the church on a high-rise of 200-plus luxury apartments, and that is disappointing. The church bought into the endless cycle of catering to the rich while failing to provide affordable housing, thus contributing to more poverty and homelessness and assuring the new shelter would be filled.
As a St. Peter’s Prep student, I used to tutor children in St. Lucy’s School and in the now controversial St. Peter’s Grammar School building, both of which were staffed by Sisters of Charity.
The St. Peter’s property, in Jersey City’s Paulus Hook, has a history that dates back to Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and a group called the Associates of the Jersey Company, according to New Jersey City University’s “Jersey City Past and Present” web page. The group’s plans for the land never came to fruition, and in 1831, they donated a portion on Grand Street to area Catholics.
On Jan. 29, 1831, St. Peter’s was the first Catholic parish established in Jersey City -- and in all of Hudson County. Construction of the new church began right away but “the pilings did not hold in the marshy soil, however, and the structure collapsed before it was completed,” the “Past and Present” website reports.
In 1837, reconstruction of the new church began at 112 Grand St. The parochial school opened on the corner of York and Van Vorst streets, where a Methodist church had been demolished, in 1861.
St. Peter’s second church, at Grand and Van Vorst streets, was dedicated in 1867. After a 1950 hurricane damaged the church, though, it was demolished in 1958 because it, too, was sinking and dangerous. The third church was dedicated in 1961. It was a modern, modest, cinder-block building.
The grammar school closed in 2005 and was sold to Prep and is now prey to the same marshy deterioration that plagued the other buildings previously built on those two tracts of land. Flooding from Superstorm Sandy sealed its fate according to the findings of the evaluation conducted by Prep. The Jersey City Historic Commission has resisted Prep’s application to demolish the school building.
Some preservationists say the school may be the last pre-Civil War building left in the city and want Prep to rehab it. Prep counters that it is unsafe and the cost would be prohibitive. It now goes before the city Zoning Board.
What matters more is that St. Peter’s Prep, which has rehabilitated several historic buildings -- the Freshman Building, Mulry Hall, Hogan Hall and the original college, prep and Jesuit residence -- remains able to sustain its mission. Saddling it to maintain a dangerously damaged building sinking into the marsh is unconscionable and could threaten its financial health.
Better they keep “soul” in the rest of their historic buildings and continue the Jesuit mission of education rather than waste resources on another doomed structure on that site. If the preservationists are so concerned about the structure, they should raise the funds to raise the building and move it to another location. That would be a win-win, Jesuitical solution.

Queen Elizabeth II made the bold decision to reduce the amount of royal family members invited to stand on Buckingham Palace’s balcony for this year’s Trooping the Colour.
Buckingham Palace said that the move to only include working royals was made ‘after careful consideration’.
But what exactly is a working royal – and who are the current working royals?
Here is everything you need to know.
What is a working royal?
A working royal is a member of the royal family who represents the Queen at official engagements.
In representing the Queen, a working royal will often perform any duties as needed including:
- Meeting with international dignitaries
- Hosting official state dinners and other events
- Attending parliamentary and constitutional functions
- Handing out honours
- Carrying out international trips and tours
- Opening buildings
All of this is done on the Queen’s behalf – any event like this done in the name of another charity or organisation doesn’t count as a working royal’s duty.
This is why royals who are patrons to different charities might carry out lots of functions – like Princess Beatrice and Eugenie – but they aren’t considered a working royal. It must be on the Queen’s behalf.
Because being a working royal is considered a full-time job, living costs, accommodation, and any expenses not covered by the appropriate government department (such as overseas travel and security costs) are covered by the Queen.
The seniority of that working royal will be negotiated between the various government bodies, Buckingham Palace, ambassadors, or high commissioners in the overseas country to ensure that the person is of appropriate standing to achieve the task at hand.
For the more important tasks, like receiving a president of a different nation, it’s likely the Queen or a direct heir will undertake the task.
The Queen pays working royals using the revenue of the Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate that has been part of the holdings of the monarch since Henry IV.
Who are the working royals today?
Based on who was invited to stand on the balcony, there are currently only 10 working royals.
Some royals might still work on a reduced basis, like Princess Alexandra of Kent, who limited duties over the past few years and is therefore not on the balcony, but her exact working status is unknown.
So, who are the confirmed, full-time working royals?
The Queen
Obviously, Her Majesty is a working royal.
Having served for a history-making 70 years, 2022 is the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and Her Majesty is still carrying out royal duties.
Despite some health concerns of late, Her Majesty welcomed the President of Switzerland at Windsor Castle right after celebrating her 96th birthday this April.
The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles
As next-in-line to the throne, Charles regularly represents the Queen in many of her official stately duties.
In fact, Charles is said to be on ‘stand by’ to represent the Queen at the opening of Parliament later this month.
The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla
The Queen confirmed this year that Camilla will be Queen Consort when Prince Charles ascends to the throne.
As a working royal, Camilla often carries out duties either with Charles or alone.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton
The future of the monarchy and second-in-line, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, have stepped up in recent years to take on more royal duties on behalf of the Queen.
After backlash to their recent Caribbean tour, the couple are said to be planning a ‘royal reboot’ in the future.
Their children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte, will join them on the balcony for Trooping the Colour.
Anne, the Princess Royal
Princess Anne, the Queen’s only daughter, is considered one of the hardest-working royals, regularly topping the list of most official engagements carried out annually.
This year, Anne took on a tour of Australia and is rumoured to become the first female head of the Marines.
Anne’s husband, Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence, is not a working royal but he will join Anne on the balcony for Trooping the Colour.
The Earl and Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward and Sophie
The Queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, and his wife Sophie are working royals who regularly represent the Queen on various occasions.
Their children, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn, are not working royals but they will join their parents on the balcony for Trooping the Colour.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Richard and Birgitte
Prince Richard might be a lesser-known royal to some but as the Queen’s first cousin, he has been a full-time working member of the Royal Family for years.
He, and his wife Birgitte, attend national and international events in support of The Queen and her duties as Head of State.

Why We Like The Returns At Tekcapital (LON:TEK)
To find a multi-bagger stock, what are the underlying trends we should look for in a business? Firstly, we'll want to see a proven return on capital employed (ROCE) that is increasing, and secondly, an expanding base of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. With that in mind, the ROCE of Tekcapital (LON:TEK) looks great, so lets see what the trend can tell us.
Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What is it?
If you haven't worked with ROCE before, it measures the 'return' (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Tekcapital is:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.37 = US$19m ÷ (US$52m - US$598k) (Based on the trailing twelve months to May 2021).
Thus, Tekcapital has an ROCE of 37%. That's a fantastic return and not only that, it outpaces the average of 13% earned by companies in a similar industry.
Check out our latest analysis for Tekcapital
Historical performance is a great place to start when researching a stock so above you can see the gauge for Tekcapital's ROCE against it's prior returns. If you'd like to look at how Tekcapital has performed in the past in other metrics, you can view this free graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flow.
How Are Returns Trending?
Tekcapital has recently broken into profitability so their prior investments seem to be paying off. About five years ago the company was generating losses but things have turned around because it's now earning 37% on its capital. Not only that, but the company is utilizing 1,520% more capital than before, but that's to be expected from a company trying to break into profitability. This can indicate that there's plenty of opportunities to invest capital internally and at ever higher rates, both common traits of a multi-bagger.
Our Take On Tekcapital's ROCE
To the delight of most shareholders, Tekcapital has now broken into profitability. And given the stock has remained rather flat over the last five years, there might be an opportunity here if other metrics are strong. That being the case, research into the company's current valuation metrics and future prospects seems fitting.
Tekcapital does have some risks, we noticed 5 warning signs (and 1 which shouldn't be ignored) we think you should know about.

Media Shocked by the Leak, Not the Right-Wing Supreme Court’s Opinion
When Politico (5/2/22) published a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would, if handed down by the Court, overturn Roe v. Wade and undermine the foundation for many privacy rights enjoyed by Americans today, it was a headline story across US news outlets. But in the flood of coverage, too many elite media outlets focused on the leak itself and treated the issue as a political football, rather than centering the real-world implications the opinion would have for everyday people.
On NBC Nightly News (5/3/22), for instance, anchor Lester Holt turned first to Justice correspondent Pete Williams to explain what happened. Williams began by offering viewers his take: “While the publication of the draft is a shock, the conclusion of the draft shouldn’t be.”
Though most court observers did expect the conservative super-majority to overturn Roe (CounterSpin, 9/15/21), Alito’s conclusion—that not only was Roe “egregiously wrong,” but that “unenumerated rights” to privacy or autonomy in general have no constitutional grounding—was, in fact, shocking to many of those who analyzed it (e.g., Slate, 5/2/22). And just because something is anticipated doesn’t mean it’s not still shocking.
But with that framing, it was little surprise that the first expert Williams turned to for commentary, Tom Goldstein of SCOTUS Blog, spoke only of the gravity of the leak. (“This has never happened in American history. And the Court may never be the same when it comes to the trust between the justices and all of their law clerks.”)
Holt’s only question to Williams had a similar focus: “Pete, let me ask you. How does the Court plan to proceed in investigating this leak?”
‘Shocking breach of privacy’
CBS Evening News (5/3/22) likewise led off its coverage with its chief legal correspondent, Jan Crawford, who explained:
This is really a shocking breach of privacy, something that didn’t even happen when the presidency was on the line in Bush vs. Gore. It raises questions about how this Court will ever recover and what that final decision will be.
The irony of worrying about the Court’s privacy as it contemplates eliminating a right to privacy for all Americans was not addressed. Crawford later characterized the leak as a “body blow to the Supreme Court.”
Williams and Crawford are legal correspondents, so it’s perhaps logical that their focus centers on repercussions for the Court rather than for the general public. But this highlights the trouble with Washington reporting, which prioritizes inside baseball over real-world impact, allowing outlets to tout their professionalism and access with little danger of appearing partisan—or of giving the public the information it needs.
The rarefied focus also played into the right-wing framing of the story, which unsurprisingly cast the leak itself as far more important than the opinion’s implications for people seeking to end unwanted pregnancies. At FoxNews.com (5/3/22), Alito’s majority draft opinion “elicited shock from longtime observers of the Court,” not because of the potential elimination of a fundamental right to bodily autonomy, or the anticipated overthrowing of a 50-year-old precedent, but because the Court “rarely had information about its deliberations leak to the public.”
Notably, none of these networks mustered similar outrage over revelations about Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni repeatedly urging the White House chief of staff to illegally overturn the 2020 election results, and Justice Thomas’s refusal to recuse himself from cases related to January 6. In that case, all three newscasts framed the story as merely a partisan battle, with Democrats enraged and Republicans supportive of Thomas, rather than a “body blow” to the Court itself.
Impact on politics more than lives
Beyond examining the impact on the Court, the networks still often framed the Roe leak story in terms of politics rather than lives. In a segment introduced as exploring “how this could play out across the country,” NBC reporter Stephanie Gosk (5/3/22) concluded: “It is an issue that has long divided the country. And if Roe v. Wade is overturned, those divisions may grow deeper.”
Anchor David Muir on ABC World News Tonight (5/3/22) framed the story in his first segment foremost as a political football, saying that the leaked draft
has certainly fueled both sides in this emotional debate, alarming millions who came to trust the 50-year-old right to privacy in making this choice as legal precedent and heartening millions of others who have fought to overturn Roe v. Wade for 50 years.
All the primetime shows did talk as well about the likely impact on those seeking abortions, which was almost always described as clinics or providers having more difficulty doing their jobs, or women having to travel farther to access abortions. Brief nods were occasionally made to the disproportionate impact on low-income and BIPOC communities (e.g., NBC 5/3/22), and the fact that “there’s already dwindling access that could quickly disappear” (CBS, 5/3/22). But what that would mean in practical terms—that more pregnant people will die and more families fall into poverty—was never directly stated.
Indeed, while NBC‘s Gosk interviewed leaders of abortion clinics in Texas and Mississippi, her sole question explicitly asking “what will happen to the women, many of them low-income, who every year get abortions in states like Mississippi, Texas, places like that?” was directed to the CEO of an anti-choice group, who assured viewers that they will be “providing them with holistic life-affirming options to make sure that they get access to the resources and the help that they need.” Gosk offered no counterpoint to that rosy view.
Pointless whodunnit
Much of the press was also fixated on the drama of who leaked the draft—a question of far greater interest to political insiders than to people contemplating a sharp curtailment of their rights. The right in particular devoted significant time to piecing together clues and determining what their motive might be, and, primarily, whether the leaker was liberal or conservative. One Fox piece, “Supreme Court Draft Decision Leaked to Energize Democrats’ Base, Former Clinton Adviser Says” (5/4/22), featured right-wing Democrat Mark Penn claiming Democrats initiated the stunt to bring suburban women voters back to the party: “I think that that breathed new life into Democratic hopes for those midterm elections.”
Right-wing outlet Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield (5/3/22) accused Kentaji Brown-Jackson—who is not yet on the Supreme Court, and thus does not have any access to their computers or documents—of leaking the draft.
With an investigation underway, such speculation and baseless accusations could easily go on for weeks, working to turn a story about a highly unpopular and undemocratic conservative move, one that strips people of a long-held and extraordinarily consequential right, into a pointless whodunnit. Corporate media have spent too long ceding the framing of the abortion story to the right and failing to show the devastating consequences the right’s decades-long attack on reproductive rights has already produced (FAIR.org, 5/19/21; CounterSpin, 5/28/21).
The essential story journalists need to be telling now is the story of the further concrete consequences the decision would have on millions of people’s lives throughout the country. Otherwise the real-life effects of a country without Roe are lost to the theatrical, sensational focus on the leak.

Tony Ferguson 'released from hospital after undergoing additional checks' following his brutal defeat against Michael Chandler, which briefly disfigured the lightweight star's face and left him unconscious at UFC 274
- Tony Ferguson suffered a sickening defeat against Michael Chandler at UFC 274
- Chandler knocked Ferguson out cold with a crushing front-kick in round two
- Ferguson was then rushed to hospital by UFC medics for further examinations
- The 38-year-old shortly left hospital after his CT tests came back negative
Tony Ferguson has been released from hospital after undergoing additional medical checks in the wake of his brutal UFC 274 defeat against Michael Chandler on Saturday night.
Chandler knocked Ferguson unconscious with a crushing front-kick in the second round of their lightweight showdown, turning the tide after a difficult opening round in Phoenix.
The kick briefly disfigured El Cucuy's face and sent him sprawling to the canvas, where he remained for around two minutes.
Tony Ferguson suffered a sickening defeat against Michael Chandler at UFC 274 on Saturday
After regaining consciousness, he was then taken to hospital by UFC's medial team to undergo further checks as a precaution.
According to The Sun, Ferguson was shortly released from hospital after his CT scans came back negative.
Defeat against Chandler was the 38-year-old's fourth on the bounce, following shortcomings against Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.
Yet UFC President Dana White is adamant that he still has more to give to the sport, saying: 'I don't know what's next for him
'But it's not like, "Oh my God, Tony got dominated and looks like he doesn't belong here."
Ferguson was knocked out cold by a crushing front-kick from Chandler in the second round
The 38-year-old was taken to hospital for additional checks before leaving shortly after
'Tony looked damn good right up until he got caught. And you know in this game that anybody can get caught with anything.'
Chandler, meanwhile, followed up his explosive victory by calling for a rematch with Oliveira or Gaethje, before then turning his attention to Conor McGregor.
'I have one dude on my mind, Conor McGregor! You've gotta come down to fight somebody,' he said.
'I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet. I want to up the stakes, Conor. I want you at your biggest, I want you at your baddest and I want you at your best.
'You and me, at 170, this summer, this fall, this winter.'
Chandler followed up his victory in Phoenix by calling out former champion Conor McGregor
Chandler didn't have to wait long for a response from McGregor, who quickly accepted the fight request on social media.

DUBAI: Syrian President Bashar al Assad made a visit to his closest regional ally Iran and met Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Sunday, Iranian state media reported.
Assad, who was making his second trip to Tehran since the start of Syria’s war in 2011, also met Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi during his trip, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said during a visit to Damascus in March that Iran’s priority was to strengthen strategic ties with Syria in a changing global scene after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
EU attempts to save Iran nuclear deal with last-ditch effort
Assad was able to turn the tide of Syria’s civil war, which erupted from pro-democracy protests in 2011, with crucial help from Iran’s proxy militias and Moscow’s major military intervention in 2015.
Iran’s economic influence in Syria has grown in recent years, supplying Assad’s government with credit lines and winning lucrative business contracts. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40171568/syrian-president-meets-iranian-leader-in-tehran | 2022-05-08T12:43:41Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40171568/syrian-president-meets-iranian-leader-in-tehran | true | 4 |

Telemedicine abortion providers see a surge in interest
If the Supreme Court adopts the draft opinion, experts forecast that people seeking abortions will turn more heavily to telemedicine and abortion pills that can be mailed discreetly to a home.
Online providers and groups are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of people requesting abortion pills or seeking information on consultations for the drugs since the draft opinion ending Roe v. Wade was first reported on Monday.
Data from online abortion site Plan C shows a surge in traffic coming from both Republican-controlled states like Texas and Florida, which are set to limit abortion access, and also from Democrat-held states like California and New York, which are unlikely to limit access.
The number of daily visitors to Aid Access, an Austria-based telemedicine group that provides the drugs from pharmacies in India, rose about 1,300 Monday — the day POLITICO reported the draft opinion — to more than 38,000 Tuesday, according to Christie Pitney, a clinician with Aid Access.
And online abortion clinic Hey Jane reported a 24 to 34 percent increase in the number of people seeking the pills week over week, with overall site traffic quadrupling.
People are increasingly seeking “advance provision” abortion pills — getting them now in case they need them later — because they fear that access could be rolled back if Roe is ultimately overturned.
“Most people are just saying that they are terrified about when the decision becomes finalized. They want to make sure that they have access to the pills at that time,” Pitney said. “There have been people who have IUDs in place or have bilateral tubal ligations who are like, ‘I know that I probably will never need this, but I just want to have it on hand in case.’”
Mothers have also requested the drugs — which have shelf lives of several years — for their daughters in case the pills are needed later, as well as people who have had pregnancy complications and don’t want to repeat them, Pitney said.
If the Supreme Court adopts the draft opinion, experts forecast that people seeking abortions will turn more heavily to telemedicine and abortion pills that can be mailed discreetly to a home. And after the FDA decision in December to lift rules requiring that doctors physically distribute the pills, they said the online surge only underscores telehealth’s potential role in the looming fight over abortion rights.
In 2020, medication abortion was the primary way people had abortions, according to preliminary data from the abortion-rights group the Guttmacher Institute.
People in states that ban abortion potentially could travel across state lines and access virtual care from their vehicles to be prescribed the pills, or turn to groups like Aid Access that deliver to all 50 states. Some companies plan to add service in more states to meet increased demand.
“We see ourselves as uniquely positioned to be able to really support and offload the stress that is going to be put on brick-and-mortar clinics and is already being put on brick-and-mortar clinics,” said Cindy Adam, CEO of Choix, a reproductive health online clinic. “Patients are going to need other options.”
Research has shown that telemedicine medication abortion is of comparable quality to the in-person procedure, and adverse events occur less than 0.2 percent of the time.
Still, online companies said that virtual care has limits.
Even now, 19 states ban telemedicine abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, and more could join that list if the draft opinion becomes the court’s ruling. For the relatively small share of people for whom the pills don’t work, they’d have to get an abortion at a facility. Plus, most patients don’t know about the pills or are misinformed about them, according to medical groups, polls and abortion-rights advocates.
Monday’s news has added to the plethora of misinformation.
“The part that surprised me is when I call people for their appointments, and they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so glad you called,’ expecting it to be illegal, because people are confused about the [draft opinion] leak,” said Julie Amaon, medical director of Just the Pill, which offers telemedicine abortion in Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming.
Leah Coplon, director of clinical operations at Abortion on Demand, which serves more than 20 states, is concerned that a wave of people getting advance provision pills could disrupt the supply chain. She said she understands why people might want to have the pills on hand, though.
Others, however, said they’ve been caught off guard by the interest following the publication of the court’s draft opinion.
“We are not ready for the surge. Nobody is, so that’s the really scary part,” Amaon said. “So we are doing our best to be ready for that surge. But I am concerned no state is ready for what’s about to happen.” | https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/08/telemedicine-abortion-providers-interest-surge-roe-00030800 | 2022-05-08T12:51:39Z | https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/08/telemedicine-abortion-providers-interest-surge-roe-00030800 | true | 1 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@scoutsproject.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one scoutsproject.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

When the Celtics fell behind by as many as 14 points late in the third quarter in Game 3 on Saturday, a comeback seemed highly improbable.
Jayson Tatum was like Calvin Cambridge without his sneakers. Giannis Antetokounmpo was essentially Godzilla. Al Horford couldn’t do everything. But these aren’t the 2021 Celtics. This team has consistently shown resolve and moxie over the last few months, and this was simply the latest example as they stormed all the way back to even take a lead late in the 4th quarter.
The Celtics ultimately fell, 103-101, but they left feeling as though they were one or two breaks – or calls – away from an entirely different outcome and a series lead with home court advantage.
Here’s a closer look at the final minute of a wild one in Milwaukee.
1 minute remaining
After Grant Williams secured an offensive rebound, Tatum drew a double team and wisely found a wide-open Marcus Smart. There was no doubt Smart was shooting a 3 on this one, but his attempt went in-and-out and left the Celtics up 1 with 51.4 remaining. This was the right read all around and a high-percentage shot.
It would have put the Celtics up 4 and firmly in control, but it just didn’t fall. Williams, Tatum and Smart shot 7-for-36 on the night, including 2-of-16 from 3, and it eventually caught up to the Celtics.
Williams almost grabbed another rebound, but the ball ricocheted out of bounds as he screamed in frustration.
50 seconds
After a Bucks timeout, the Celtics elected to put Williams on Antetokounmpo. Pat Connaughton found Antetokounmpo, and the Celtics chose not to double initially. That worked in Game 2, but Antetokounmpo cracked the code in Game 3 as he relentlessly attacked over and over.
He stepped past Williams with relative ease and there wasn’t much Smart could do to alter the shot. Antetokounmpo made the right play and was simply too big, too athletic and too Giannis. The Bucks took a 101-100 lead with 44.3 left.
35 seconds
This one is interesting. Jaylen Brown played an excellent game and was in attack mode all night himself. He had some costly turnovers in the second half, but overall, he was terrific and helped keep the Celtics afloat.
Connaughton denied the inbound pass to Smart, so Brown brought the ball up and had to make a pivotal, split-second decision. He could pull it out and work the ball around or he could play to his biggest strength and drive to the hoop.
Brown chose the latter, with a tricky stop-and-go move, and he beat Jrue Holiday to the rim. Earlier in the game, Brown excelled getting into the lane, drawing doubles and finding his teammates. His pass at the end of the half to hit Williams in the corner for a 3 exemplified how much better the Celtics are when he’s a consistent playmaker.
In this instance, it appeared as though the Bucks almost baited him into forcing an ill-advised layup. Antetokounmpo closed and Brown took it right at him and Brook Lopez but hit the rim on an off-balance shot. He nearly got his own rebound, but Holiday corralled it. It’s easier said than done, of course, but it might have been in Brown’s best interest to wait for something better to develop.
20 seconds
With a 12-second differential, the Celtics made the right decision not to foul. Tatum switched onto Holiday and the Bucks spread the floor and gave him space to operate with Wesley Matthews and Connaughton in the corners. The Celtics trusted Tatum to slow him down with help ready as needed.
At first, Tatum stood his ground. When Holiday made his move, their arms got tangled and Tatum hit the deck. Replay appeared to show that Holiday did, in fact, push off, but it was a bang-bang play and was probably a good no-call given the circumstances. Horford almost got his hand in there, but Holiday floated one up and in to put the Bucks up 3 with 11.2 remaining. Holiday is crafty and clutch, and he hit the most timely shot of the night.
10 seconds
The Celtics called timeout and went with their best closing lineup in this series: Smart, Brown, Tatum, Williams and Horford. Matthews, who was the unsung hero of Game 3 for his lockdown defense on Tatum (yes, he did undercut Derrick White earlier), didn’t give him any breathing room once again.
Smart found Brown, who penetrated and pulled it back out. He found Smart, who was immediately fouled. The question became whether he was fouled shooting a 3 or on the floor. Given the situation, and Smart’s proclivity for taking big shots, it logically made sense that he was shooting. The Celtics certainly thought so.
NBA officials ruled this a 'sweeping' move and not a shooting motion by Marcus Smart.
— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) May 7, 2022
Should this have been 3 free throws for Smart? pic.twitter.com/4yJwwpkzvU
Celtics coach Ime Udoka, holding the ball in hands, replicated the shooting motion to indicate that his guy was rising up. The refs didn’t bite, instead calling Holiday for a non-shooting foul. It’s impossible to know what Smart was planning, but it did appear he was firing away.
Udoka stuck up for his Defensive Player of the Year and referred to it as a “bad missed call.” Brown said he thinks the refs “missed one.” Smart made it clear he was shooting.
“It wouldn’t make sense to do a rip-through move behind the 3-point line when you’ve got a clear shot down 3,” Smart said afterward.

5 seconds
Smart made the first with 4.6 seconds left and the Celtics correctly decided to have him miss the second. It was a truly masterful miss, and Smart swooped in for the rebound and got up a decent off-balance look. Robert Williams nearly tipped it home, then Horford almost did as well, but it came just after the whistle. Good call. Brutal loss for the Celtics. Big win for the Bucks.

The final minute was more about Antetokounmpo and Holiday’s greatness than anything else, but the Celtics did have a few legitimate gripes as well.
“Some calls didn’t go our way,” Brown said. “Obviously we’re upset about that. But it’s over now and we move on.”

Hundreds gather to support President Saied in Tunisia
Hundreds of Tunisians demonstrated on Sunday in support of President Kais Saied and the series of extraordinary measures he has taken since last July, which have been described as a "coup" by his critics. The protesters gathered on Bourguiba Avenue in the centre of the capital, the epicentre of widespread protests that toppled former leader Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011, in response to a call from a pro-Saied alliance. They held up banners reading "We are all Kais Saied" and called for the prosecution of "corrupt" politicians, echoing a frequently uttered refrain by the head of state. In early May, Mr Saied announced the launch of a "national dialogue" to help resolve the crisis, but he excluded the most important opposition groups, including his main rival, the Islamist-inspired Ennahdha party. Alongside the political turmoil, Tunisia is in the grip of a severe social and economic crisis and has requested a loan from the International Monetary Fund. | http://www.africanews.com/2022/05/08/hundreds-gather-to-support-president-saied-in-tunisia/ | 2022-05-08T13:19:47Z | http://www.africanews.com/2022/05/08/hundreds-gather-to-support-president-saied-in-tunisia/ | false | 1 |

Ukraine battles to hold eastern bastions as Russia prepares Victory Day parade
published : 8 May 2022 at 18:45
writer: AFP
SEVERODONETSK, Ukraine: Ukrainian forces were braced to defend their final bastion in the devastated port city of Mariupol on Sunday, desperate to deny Russia a symbolic win on the eve of Moscow's Victory Day celebrations.
Shelling and missile strikes have intensified in the build up to the World War II anniversary, and rescuers are hunting for 60 Ukrainian civilians feared killed in the bombing of a village school.
President Volodymyr Zelensky marked the anniversary on the end of the World War by comparing Ukraine's battle for national survival to the region's war of resistance against its former Nazi occupiers.
"Decades after World War II, darkness has returned to Ukraine, and it has become black and white again," Zelensky said, in a monochrome social media video shot against the backdrop of bombed out apartment block.
"Evil has returned, in a different uniform, under different slogans, but for the same purpose," he warned, trying to turn Russia leader President Vladimir Putin's "anti-Nazi" rhetoric back on itself.
Russia, meanwhile, was gearing up for a Victory Day parade designed to associate the invasion of its neighbour with the national pride felt over the Soviet Union's defeat of Germany.
Zelensky was also to meet G7 leaders via video conference to discuss the crisis, and European diplomats were hammering out the details of their latest sanctions package against Moscow.
On the ground, the key battles were being fought in Ukraine's east.
- Tunnel network -
Civilians have now been evacuated from Mariupol's Azovstal steelworks, leaving a small force of defenders holed up in its sprawling network of underground tunnels and bunkers.
The complex -- the final pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the port city -- has taken on a symbolic value.
"The enemy is trying to finish off the defenders of Azovstal, they are trying to do it before May 9 to give Vladimir Putin a gift," warned Zelensky aide Oleksiy Arestovych.
Taking full control of Mariupol would also allow Moscow to create a land bridge between the Crimean peninsula, which it annexed in 2014, and regions run by pro-Russian separatists in the east.
In one of those regions, Lugansk, Ukrainian forces are now mounting a last ditch defence of the city of Severodonetsk, formerly an industrial city of 100,000 people, now Russia's next target.
In the same region, governor Sergiy Gaiday said 60 civilians were feared dead after a school in the village of Bilogorivka was hit in an air strike.
"The bombs fell on the school and unfortunately it was completely destroyed. There were a total of 90 people, 27 were saved," he said on Telegram.
"Sixty people who were in the school are very probably dead."
Rescuers could not work overnight because of a threat of new strikes, but resumed their work on Sunday.
- 'Filtration camps' -
Rescuers were also looking for survivors in the neighbouring village of Shepilivka after a strike hit a house where 11 people were sheltering in the basement, Gaiday said.
Civilians who escape Mariupol describe passing through Russian "filtration" sites where several evacuees told AFP they were questioned, strip-searched, fingerprinted, and had their phones and documents checked.
"They asked us if we wanted to go to Russia... or stay and rebuild the city of Mariupol," said Azovstal evacuee Natalia, who spoke on condition that her full name not be published.
"But how can I rebuild it? How can I return there if the city of Mariupol doesn't exist anymore?"
Russia's campaign has run into tough resistance -- and galvanised Kyiv's Western allies to impose potentially crippling sanctions on the Russian economy and Putin's inner circle.
- Western help -
International efforts to pressure the Russian leader continue, with G7 leaders, including US President Joe Biden, to talk with Zelensky on Sunday to discuss Western support for Kyiv.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will host the video call and Zelensky will "take part and report on the current situation," spokeswoman Christiane Hoffmann said.
Further sanctions or at least a tightening of the huge array of economic punishments already inflicted on Russia are expected to be discussed. | https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2306610/ukraine-battles-to-hold-eastern-bastions-as-russia-prepares-victory-day-parade | 2022-05-08T13:25:13Z | https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2306610/ukraine-battles-to-hold-eastern-bastions-as-russia-prepares-victory-day-parade | false | 6 |
Patnaik announces cash incentives for winning medal at World Skills Competition

The Odisha government announced cash incentives for the people of the state for winning medals in the World Skills Competition to be held in Shanghai China in October this year.
The announcement was made by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday while felicitating the winners of the India Skills Competition. Students in the state have got 59 medals at the India Skills Competition 2021 which was held in New Delhi in January 2022.
''Winning is a habit, so is excellence. I believe our children have now formed the habit to excel, to compete with the best in the world and win,'' Patnaik said. He said Odisha will put the best resources available towards training the winners as they go through the grueling preparations for the World Skills Competition.
He said that from this edition onwards, the gold medal winner in the World Skill competitions will get an award of Rs 1 crore, the silver medalist will get Rs 50 lakh and the bronze medalist will get Rs 25 lakh.
The institution which nurtures the gold medal winner will get Rs 5 crore for setting up the Biju Patnaik Centre of Excellence, he said.
Congratulating the competitors the chief minister said Odisha stood first in the India Skills competition held in January 2022 with 59 medals in total. He congratulated all the winners, their parents, their coaches, institutions, and industry partners for this great achievement. He also thanked the National Skill Development Corporation for the support.
Patnaik further said that these medals come from traditional skills to the latest in technology proving the range and versatility of our boys and girls. In standing with our commitment to promoting girls in technical education, girls have brought the state national honors in areas that are traditionally male-dominated.
The chief minister said that Odisha worked for a time when people would ask our boys, and girls whether they are just skilled or skilled-in-Odisha. The endeavor got its first appreciation when Aswath Narayan from Odisha brought India its first-ever gold in the field of water technology in the last edition of the World Skills Competition held in Kazan in 2018.
The CM said ''we have made skilling aspirational for the youth and it is at the core of all that we do in the area of skilling''. The World Skill Centre in Bhubaneswar, set up with ITEES Singapore as the knowledge partner, stands as a towering testament to our commitment to the youth of Odisha, he added.
Odisha Skills Development Authority chairman Subrato Bagchi said that the winners of India Skills come from the bottom-most strata of society which reflects the aspirational outlook of the entire state. He said what the chief minister has done for hockey, the same will be achieved in skills too.
Minister for Skill Development and Technical Education Premananda Nayak outlined the efforts of his department for realizing the dreams of Odisha in skills.
The chief minister felicitated Santosh Ojha, a gold medalist in cabinet making, Sona Behera, gold winner in painting, Swati Kumari, and Nausin Nigar gold medalists in the Robotic system Integration in the India Skills competition. They received certificates and cash awards.

Arsenal vs Leeds LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as Nketiah hits double after Meslier howler
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- ArsenalLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
Arsenal host Leeds United in a pivotal match to decide both who will finish in the Premier League’s top four and the relegation battle.
Mikel Arteta has handed the Gunners a boost this week by signing a new contract to 2025, and Tottenham’s dropped points in the 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday night gives them a chance to stretch their lead in fourth to four points ahead of next week’s north London derby. While Leeds continue to flirt with danger despite an improvement in form since Jesse Marsh took over at Elland Road. The Whites are two points clear of Everton, who sit 18th, but the Toffees have a game in hand. Any result today would take Leeds above Burnley who are also on 34 points, though the Clarets have played a game more and suffered a setback on Saturday after a heavy defeat to Aston Villa.
“To take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams,” Arteta said when quizzed on his ambitions for the Gunners. “In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League. We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
Follow all the build-up to the big game at the Emirates, live minute-by-minute updates, analysis and reaction on a big day in the Premier League.

Arsenal 2-0 Leeds
14:21 , Jack Rathborn
It’s quietened down since the second, but Arsenal very much taking the fizz out of this and playing patiently out of the back.
This game could be done by half-time, but a maturity to this Arsenal side now creeping in perhaps.
Martinelli happy to drag his man back into his own half to keep possession.
But suddenly Arsenal in again! Cedric chips it over the top to Saka, he cuts it back to Odegaard, who executes a sensational piece of skill to open the space inside the box.
It comes back to Cedric on the edge of the area, he blazes over. Lovely football though.
Arsenal 2-0 Leeds: Nketiah finishes superb Martinelli run and assist
14:11 , Jack Rathborn
GOAL! Nketiah doubles Arsenal’s lead, 2-0!
This is some start from Arsenal, sensational wing play by Martinelli, he gets around his man and then has the vision to pick out Nketiah.
In his form, that’s an easy finish, crisp, leaning back and guided past Meslier. He’s on fire!
Arsenal 1-0 Leeds

Arsenal 1-0 Leeds: Nketiah hands hosts the lead!
14:06 , Jack Rathborn
GOAL! Nketiah strikes, it’s a howler for Meslier, 1-0 Arsenal!
Tremendous work from Nketiah, he closes down Meslier and the Leeds goalkeeper can’t sort his feet out in time as the ball comes across the goal mouth.
The Arsenal youngster is in like a flash and tackles it into the empty net. A great reward for Nketiah’s newfound industry leading the line for the Gunners.
Arsenal 0-0 Leeds
14:02 , Jack Rathborn
Junior Firpo straight into the back of Saka, a crude tackle, and a dangerous free-kick for the Gunners already after two minutes.
Whipped in by Odegaard but headed clear by Leeds.
It’s all down Arsenal’s right early on, Cedric and Saka combining neatly.
Arsenal 0-0 Leeds
14:01 , Jack Rathborn
A lively atmosphere at the Emirates, Leeds in all blue, the Gunners in their traditional colours.
The sun is out in north London too, perfect playing conditions as the hosts start out on top.

David Seaman praises Aaron Ramsdale for grabbing Arsenal chance with both hands
12:38 , Jack Rathborn
David Seaman has praised Aaron Ramsdale for taking his chance at Arsenal with both hands as he continues to tutor the England goalkeeper.
Ramsdale has established himself as first choice between the posts at the Emirates Stadium but, despite Seaman being a big fan, he is not afraid to dish out the tough love.
Signed from Sheffield United last summer for a reported £24million, plenty of eyebrows were raised as the Gunners brought in a goalkeeper with consecutive Premier League relegations on his CV.

Arsenal’s form has oscillated over the last few months, but as things stand they are on track for a Champions League place. Leeds, meanwhile, are still very much at risk of relegation. With lots on the line here, this could be a frantic affair. Indy Sport is backing Arsenal to come through – just about.

Arsenal: Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah.
Leeds: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Firpo; Klich, Phillips; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison; James.
Arsenal vs Leeds team news
11:42 , Jack Rathborn
Ben White was absent for Arsenal’s win at West Ham due to a hamstring issue, and there is a good chance that the centre back will miss out again here. Takehiro Tomiyasu went off with cramp in that game against the Hammers – his first start in four months – but should be okay to line up in the first XI today. Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey remain sidelined.
For Leeds, Stuart Dallas is out for the long term after sustaining a femoral fracture against Manchester City. Also absent from Marsch’s side will be Adam Forshaw, Crysencio Summerville and Liam Cooper, while Patrick Bamford is not expected to return just yet. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/arsenal-vs-leeds-live-premier-113853574.html?src=rss | 2022-05-08T13:35:35Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/arsenal-vs-leeds-live-premier-113853574.html?src=rss | true | 2 |
BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of Lebanese living in nearly 50 countries began early voting Sunday in the country’s closely watched parliamentary elections, days after a similar vote was held in 10 predominantly Muslim nations.
About 195,000 Lebanese had registered to vote Sunday in 48 countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, Russia, European Union member states and several African nations.
The vote in Lebanon takes place May 15.
Among those voting Sunday are many Lebanese who fled the country over the past two years during a historic economic meltdown. The downturn has been blamed on decades of corruption and mismanagement by the political class that has been running the small nation since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
Parliamentary elections are held once every four years and the last vote in 2018 gave majority seats to the powerful Iran-backed Hezbollah group and its allies.
The vote this year for the 128-member legislature is the first since the economic and financial crisis began in October 2019 leading to nationwide protests. It is also the first vote held since the massive Aug. 4, 2020 blast at Beirut’s port that killed more than 200 people, injured thousands and caused widespread damage in the capital.
Little change was expected from the vote as mainstream political parties and politicians remained strong going into the vote while opposition figures are fractured. Western-backed mainstream parties are hoping to strip the parliamentary majority from Hezbollah.
The vote this year comes as a powerful Sunni leader, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, suspended his work in politics. Some have warned this may help Hezbollah’s Sunni allies to win more seats.
Local media outlets have reported that Hariri has come under pressure from Saudi Arabia to convince his supporters to get out and vote to prevent Hezbollah from benefiting from the vacuum. Saudi Arabia and Hezbollah backer Iran are regional rivals.
A registered 194,348 voters will cast their ballots at 192 polling stations around the world, many of them at Lebanese diplomatic missions.
During Friday’s vote, 59.45% of the registered 30,929 voters cast their ballots, according to Foreign Minister Abdallah Bouhabib.
Lebanon’s parliament is equally divided between Christians and Muslims. The new legislature will elect a new president after President Michel Aoun’s term ends in October.
After official results are out following next week’s vote in Lebanon, the government of Prime Minister Najib Mikati will become a caretaker administration until the president calls for consultations with newly elected legislators to name a new prime minister. Mikati, who is not running for parliament, could be chosen again.
According to Lebanon’s power-sharing system, the President is a Maronite Catholic, the prime minister is a Sunni and the parliament speaker is a Shiite. Cabinet seats are also equally divided between Muslims and Christians.
More than 70% of the country’s 6 million inhabitants, including 1 million Syrian refugees, now live in poverty as a result of the economic crisis, which was described by the World Bank as one the world’s worst since the 1850s.
The crisis made tens of thousands lose their jobs while the Lebanese pound has lost more than 90% of its value since the meltdown began. | https://www.wcia.com/news/international/lebanese-in-48-countries-voting-in-parliamentary-elections/ | 2022-05-08T13:36:13Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/international/lebanese-in-48-countries-voting-in-parliamentary-elections/ | true | 47 |
Doctor Who: BBC Introduces Our Next Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa
Some big news broke on Sunday morning, as the BBC officially introduced Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa as the new Doctor stepping into the TARDIS. Though already with an impressive resume that spans stage and screen, Ncuti is best known for his critically acclaimed performance as the iconic Eric Effiong, for which he won the Best Actor Award at the 2020 Scottish BAFTAs as well as numerous nominations including Best Male Performance in a comedy programme at this year's BAFTAs. Ncuti will be joining returning showrunner Russell T. Davis for a new series in 2023, with current Doctor Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall ending their runs with the "Centenary Special" this fall.
"There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show mean so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true," Ncuti said. "His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor's metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it's daunting, I'm aware I'm joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show."
Davies added, "The future is here and it's Ncuti! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it's so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds. It's an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can't wait to get started. I'm sure you're dying to know more, but we're rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful Jodie's epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, 2023 will be spectacular!" BBC CCO Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer agreed, also adding, "Ncuti has an incredible dynamism, he's a striking and fearless young actor whose talent and energy will set the world alight and take Doctor Who on extraordinary adventures under Russell T Davies' new era." | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/doctor-who-bbc-introduces-our-next-doctor-ncuti-gatwa/ | 2022-05-08T13:36:29Z | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/doctor-who-bbc-introduces-our-next-doctor-ncuti-gatwa/ | true | 5 |
A British YouTuber has been detained at a Russia-controlled space centre in Kazakhstan, officials have said.
Benjamin Rich, known for his travel channel Bald and Bankrupt, was held near a launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos said.
Dmitry Rogozin said Mr Rich was being investigated over “illegal acts”.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said it was investigating the reports.
A woman named Alina Tseliupa and reported to be from Belarus was also apprehended, said Mr Rogozin.
The two were being held at the department of internal affairs in Baikonur, around 1,100 km (680 miles) southwest of the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan, he added.
Mr Rich’s YouTube channel, which he describes as “off the map in former Soviet lands…” has more than 3.5 million subscribers.

The largest European conflict since the Second World War has developed into a punishing war of attrition
Dozens of Ukrainians are feared dead after a Russian bomb destroyed a school sheltering about 90 people in the basement as Moscow’s invading forces kept up their barrage of cities, towns and villages in eastern and southern Ukraine.
The governor of Luhansk province, one of two areas that make up the eastern industrial heartland known as the Donbas, said the school in the village of Bilohorivka caught fire after Saturday’s bombing.
Emergency crews found two bodies and rescued 30 people, he said.
“Most likely, all 60 people who remain under the rubble are now dead,” governor Serhiy Haidai wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Russian shelling also killed two boys, aged 11 and 14, in the nearby town of Pryvillia, he said.
Since failing to capture Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, Russia has focused its offensive in the Donbas, where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting since 2014 and occupy some territory.
The largest European conflict since the Second World War has developed into a punishing war of attrition due to the Ukrainian military’s unexpectedly effective defence.
To demonstrate success, Moscow was aiming to complete its conquest of the besieged port city of Mariupol in time for Victory Day celebrations on Monday.
All the remaining women, children and older civilians who had been sheltering with Ukrainian fighters in a sprawling steel mill that is the city’s last defence holdout were evacuated on Saturday.
The troops still inside have refused to surrender and requested international help to get them out too.
Capturing Mariupol would give Moscow a land bridge to the Crimean Peninsula, annexed from Ukraine during a 2014 invasion.
Satellite photos shot on Friday by Planet Labs PBC showed vast devastation at the Azovstal steel mill.
Buildings had gaping holes in the roofs, including one under which hundreds of fighters were likely to be hiding.
After rescuers evacuated the last civilians on Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly address that the focus would turn to extracting the wounded and medics, adding: “Of course, if everyone fulfils the agreements. Of course, if there are no lies.”
Elsewhere on the coast, air raid sirens sounded several times early on Sunday in the major Black Sea port of Odesa, which Russia struck with six cruise missiles on Saturday.
The Odesa city council said four of the missiles hit a furniture company, with the shock waves and debris badly damaging high-rise apartment buildings.
The other two missiles hit the Odesa airport, where a previous Russian attack destroyed the runway.
In a sign of the dogged resistance that has sustained the fighting into its 11th week, Ukraine’s military struck Russian positions on a Black Sea island that was captured in the war’s first days and has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.
Western military analysts also said a Ukrainian counteroffensive was advancing around the country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv.
Ukraine’s military said retreating Russian forces destroyed three bridges on a road north-east of the city to try to slow the Ukrainian advance.
Ukrainian leaders warned that attacks would only worsen in the lead-up to Victory Day, when Russia celebrates Nazi Germany’s defeat in 1945 with military parades.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is believed to want to proclaim some kind of triumph in Ukraine when he addresses the troops in Red Square on Monday.
In neighbouring Moldova, Russian and separatist troops were on “full alert”, the Ukrainian military warned.
The region has increasingly become a focus of worries that the conflict could expand beyond Ukraine’s borders.
Pro-Russian forces broke off the Transnistria section of Moldova in 1992, and Russian troops have been stationed there since, ostensibly as peacekeepers.
Those forces are on “full combat readiness”, Ukraine said, without giving details on how it came to the assessment.
Moscow has sought to sweep across southern Ukraine both to cut off the country from the sea and create a corridor to Transnistria.
But it has struggled to achieve those objectives.
Satellite photos analysed by the Associated Press (AP) showed Ukraine targeting Russian-held Snake Island in a bid to impede Russia’s efforts to control the Black Sea.
A satellite image taken on Sunday morning by Planet Labs PBC showed smoke rising from two sites on the island.
On the island’s southern edge, a fire smoked next to debris.
That corresponded to a video released by the Ukrainian military showing its strike on a Russian helicopter that had flown to the island.
A Planet Labs image from Saturday showed most of the island’s buildings, as well as what appeared to be a Serna-class landing craft against the island’s northern beach, had been destroyed by Ukrainian drone attacks.
The most intense combat in recent days has taken place in eastern Ukraine.
Western military analysts said a counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces was progressing around Kharkiv.
The Ukrainian military said it retook control of five villages and part of a sixth near the north-eastern city.
However, the Ukrainian army withdrew from Luhansk province’s embattled city of Popasna, Mr Haidai said on Sunday.
In a video interview posted on his Telegram channel, Mr Haidai said that Kyiv’s troops had “moved to stronger positions, which they had prepared ahead of time”.
“All free settlements in the Luhansk region are hot spots,” Mr Haidai added.
“Right now, there are shooting battles in (the villages) of Bilohorivka, Voivodivka and towards Popasna.”
Mr Zelensky said in his nightly address that work would also continue on Sunday on securing humanitarian corridors for residents of Mariupol and surrounding towns to leave.
It remains unclear what will happen to the estimated 2,000 fighters at the Azovstal plant, both those still in combat and the hundreds believed to be wounded.
The Ukrainian government has been reaching out to international organisations to try to secure safe passage for them.
Mr Zelensky said officials were trying to find a way to evacuate them.
He acknowledged the difficulty, but said: “We are not losing hope, we are not stopping. Every day we are looking for some diplomatic option that might work.”
