MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Arson investigators were probing a fire Sunday inside the headquarters of anti-abortion group Wisconsin Family Action, where someone had spray-painted a message outside the building.
Madison police spokeswoman Stephanie Fryer told the Wisconsin State Journal that the fire reported shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday in Madison was suspicious in nature. No one was injured, and officials were still working to determine how much damage the fire caused.
It wasn't immediately clear who vandalized the building, but the message “If abortions aren't safe than you aren't either” was spray-painted on the building.
The president of the lobbying group, Julaine Appling, said she considers the fire a “direct threat against us” given that it happened just a few days after a draft of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion was leaked suggesting the court may soon overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in this country. She said people could have been hurt if they had been working in the office at the time.
“This is the local manifestation of the anger and the lack of tolerance from the pro-abortion people toward those of us who are pro-life,” Appling said.
Wisconsin politicians, including Democratic Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, swiftly criticized the vandalism Sunday.
“This attack is abhorrent and should be condemned by all,” Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said.
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tom Nelson also denounced the vandalism.
“I am committed to protecting women’s rights - but we must do it the right way,” Nelson said. “Violence and destruction are not the answer. I’m glad no one was hurt.” | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Fire-at-Wisconsin-anti-abortion-office-17157858.php | 2022-05-08T19:26:43Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Fire-at-Wisconsin-anti-abortion-office-17157858.php | true | 24 |
Price pressures: Cost of living worries in Sydney at an 11-year high
By Matt Wade
Cost of living pressures have shot to the top of Sydneysiders’ worry list following sharp price rises for a raft of household necessities, surpassing concerns about healthcare, housing affordability and the environment.
Sydney’s consumer price index shows prices rose in 73 of the 87 expenditure classes monitored by the Australian Bureau of Statistics during the first three months of this year.
Easily the biggest increase was for automotive fuel which rose 9.6 per cent in the March quarter and 33 per cent over the year – the biggest annual increase for that category in Sydney for more than 30 years.
Prices for a tranche of food and groceries items in the city also jumped, including vegetables (up 14.1 per cent over the year), beef and veal (up 12.4 per cent), oils and fats (up 9.3 per cent) and cleaning and maintenance products (up 4.9 per cent).
The expenditure classes – groups of similar goods or services, such as pharmaceuticals, restaurant meals or grocery items – are used to calculate the rate of inflation.
Cost of living emerged as the biggest concern for people in NSW in the March quarter, the Ipsos Issues Monitor shows.
The survey, which asks a representative sample of adults to select the top three issues facing the state, found 43 per cent ranked cost of living among their biggest concerns, the highest share in the 11-year history of the survey. Petrol prices (22 per cent) ranked among the top five worries in NSW along with healthcare (40 per cent), housing (39 per cent) and the economy (26 per cent). The environment, which was the nation’s No. 1 concern following the black summer bush fires in early 2020, now ranks seventh in NSW (16 per cent).
Soaring inflation and rising interest rates have ensured cost of living has dominated debate in the federal election campaign now in its final fortnight.
Sydney’s consumer price index rose 4.4 per cent in the year to March, the biggest annual increase in 13 years. But not everything became more expensive.
The price of electricity fell 4.9 per cent in the same period while prices for garments for women were down 3.4 per cent. Rent prices in Sydney fell 1.2 per cent over the year despite a 0.2 per cent increase in the March quarter.
Sydney had the lowest CPI growth among the capital cities in the year to March – inflation was highest in Perth (up 7.6 per cent for the year) and Brisbane (up 6 per cent).
AMP chief economist Shane Oliver said rents were one reason Sydney’s CPI has not risen by as much as other cities.
“Rental price growth has been weaker in Sydney and Melbourne than in other states,” he said.
The economic disruption caused the Delta and Omicron outbreaks, which was more acute in NSW and Victoria than other states, may also have helped keep inflation pressures more muted in Sydney and Melbourne than other capitals.
Differences in spending patterns mean some household types are experiencing more pronounced cost of living pressures than others.
A separate living cost index, released by the ABS last week, showed aged pensioners experienced higher living cost increases during the past year than other household types.
The increase in living costs for age pensioner households in the year to March was 4.9 per cent while for households reliant on paid employment the increase was only 3.8 per cent.
“Living costs for age pensioner households were particularly impacted by increases in food and non-alcoholic beverages, as grocery food items make up a higher proportion of overall expenditure for age pensioner households compared to other types of households,” the bureau said.

Tullamore-based clinical psychologists, Julie O'Flaherty and Imelda Ferguson
WHO would have predicted that as we entered the 2020s nearly 28 months ago now that it would be such an eventful decade already?
First, we have experienced a global pandemic which has certainly challenged us all in many different ways. Then, just as the world felt that we were over the pandemic, a war started in Europe as Russia invaded Ukraine. All of Europe is currently feeling a significant ripple effect from this devastating war being waged on the Ukrainian people.
Approximately five million people, the majority children and their mothers, have had to flee from their country and loved ones. Ireland has already welcomed over 20,000 Ukrainian refugees since February 2022. In addition, in the first few months of this year, communities across Ireland have experienced other devastating tragedies, often (but not always) random and fatal attacks on people going about their daily lives.
In our clinical practices over the past few months (and further back) we have certainly witnessed clients’ shock, pain and sense of helplessness as these events have unfolded. However, alongside this pain is often something else, resilience.
Coping, adjusting, re-adjusting and living with Covid-19, over the past two years, has certainly tested our resilience stores. How have five million people in the 21st century, been able to uproot themselves, their families and make their way across Europe to safety in appallingly stressful conditions?
All of these “bigger” events are of course layered on top of all our individual, personal stressors and the challenges and demands we face in our everyday lives.
We wondered what it is about people that keeps them going in the face of challenge and adversity. We wondered how some people seem naturally more resilient than others and if this is something that can be taught. Dr Chris Johnstone, a medical doctor, author and resilience trainer has written a really useful book called 'Seven Ways to Build Resilience' (book cover pictured below).
In this article we are going to look at some of Johnstone’s ideas and how they fit into the broader field of positive psychology.
Johnstone defines resilience as the ability to cope with and recover from difficult situations. He says it includes our capacity to make the best of things, to deal with stress and to rise to the occasion. Encouragingly – since he is an expert in this area – he says that we can learn to be more resilient. Each of the seven ways to build resilience is described in each of seven chapters and Johnstone describes a range of tools that can help us with the building work.
Like with all psychological tools, some people will find particular tools really help them while other people will prefer different tools. As we say to clients, get familiar with the psychological tools and techniques, practise them and see which work best for you. This applies to a range of psychological conditions and life stressors, not just to building resilience.
Johnstone starts with illustrating a core concept in clinical formulation, the interplay between factors such as protective and risk factors. For all of us, we face challenges with our own unique strengths and skills and life circumstances and experiences. Protective factors quite literally protect us from adversity; they can include a healthy childhood, healthy, supportive adult relationships, being psychologically flexible in our thinking, having a job we like and so on. Risk factors make it harder to cope; examples might be a problem with alcohol, chronic insomnia, a fixed, inflexible thinking style, a highly developed self-critic.
Johnstone uses a visual analogy of a boat and water level to illustrate his point.
When we have good protective factors in our lives this buoys up the boat (us) and stops it hitting the rocks. Risk factors on the other hand, push down the water level and the boat is more likely to hit the rocks. Johnstone urges us to check our water level and address and adjust risk and protective factors accordingly. So, for example, if poor sleep/staying up late at night is a risk factor then maybe we need to improve our sleep hygiene. Self-compassion (a topic we discuss regularly in this column) is an example of a personal protective factor that fosters resilience.
In addition, Johnstone tells us that this “boat and water level mapping tool” can be applied to anything we would like to change by analysing the factors that help and hinder.
Johnstone talks about “emotional first aid” using the very clever acronym SSRI.
In psychiatry and psychology SSRIs are usually the shorthand description for commonly prescribed antidepressants. Johnstone’s SSRIs are of the non-pharmaceutical kind: S stands for individual coping strategies; S stands for individual strengths/qualities; R stands for resources available to us that offer help and support; I stands for Insights into problems (maybe what has helped us in the past...). When we examine ourselves and the challenges using this framework we can really enhance our resilience.
Johnstone looks at how problem solving can be enhanced by our beliefs. He normalises our tendency not to believe we can do something and views disbelief rather than as an endpoint, but as part of the process whereby we accept our disbelief and move along from there to belief. He looks at how we can develop flexible thinking when we are fixed in our thoughts and ideas but unwilling to let them go - that sort of “my way or the highway” mentality that we are all guilty of at times. Johnstone urges us to look for a more helpful way of thinking about problems, mirroring one of the core concepts of Steven Hayes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
One chapter that has particularly resonated with us has been Johnstone’s advice on “overload management”. We have all been there. Felt overloaded and overwhelmed. Johnstone gives some very practical advice that we often forget when our stress levels are running amok. For example, we need to examine the demands on us and really try to see what is necessary/unnecessary. He calls this “commitment cropping”. He urges us to remember our assertive rights and skills; we are allowed to say “no” to others when we need to say “no”.
There is considerably more good advice for the development of resilience in this book, but we will end here on the final chapter in which he urges us to strengthen our supports in ourselves, in our relationships with others, with our friends and families and in our wider communities and networks. At a time when our local, national and global communities are facing all sorts of challenges and adversity this seems very fitting advice.

Investors are dumping the ‘pump and dump’, says watchdog
The corporate watchdog says it has witnessed a sharp drop off in the number of social media savvy traders working to orchestrate “pump and dump” schemes since its crackdown last year on these groups.
The ASX was plagued in late 2021 by a series of “pump and dump” schemes, which involved co-ordinated moves by groups of investors to push up the value of a stock before dumping the shares in the hope that they will make a profit.
These schemes proliferated in the day trading boom that took place during COVID-19 and continued even as restrictions began to be loosened.
The schemes, which can be illegal, were being pitched to members of groups on social media sites such as Reddit and encrypted messaging platforms such as Telegram.
During a six-week period between August and September, 14 stocks were subject to concerted and sometimes effective pump and dump schemes, according to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission data.
ASIC senior executive leader market supervision Calissa Aldridge says the activity appears to have now died down.
“We haven’t seen that re-emerge again yet, but these things can come in peaks and troughs and we are alive to the possibility that it may surface again,” Aldridge told The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
“For that very intensive period which was in the latter part of last year… there were lots of different groups talking about pump and dump activity,” Aldridge says.
“Where they were designated groups that were targeting stocks every couple of weeks, we really took that approach [of warning traders] by participating in those social media chat rooms.”
ASIC stunned the social media trading sphere last year when it managed to join these groups and post a harsh warning to members, which read: “Co-ordinated pumping of shares for profits can be illegal. We can see all trades and have access to trader identities. We’re monitoring this platform, and we may be investigating you. You can run the risk of a criminal record, including fines of more than $1M and prison time by being involved.”
ASIC’s interventions were initially treated sceptically by participants in the groups.
“This has clearly been sent by someone from another telegram group trying to spook people here. ASIC don’t send messages like this,” said one participant of a Telegram group minutes after ASIC made its post.
But ASIC confirmed to the media that it was responsible for sending the message.
Aldridge says ASIC’s warnings seem to have had an impact on the traders.
“Maybe the interventions that we made had some impact and we managed to get through to those people who are in that chat room.”
“I think also for all of this year the market has just been in a different stage. The focus is quite different,” Aldridge says, pointing to the fewer opportunities for stocks to spike in a much less frothy market.
ASIC told a Senate committee last year that completely stamping out this type of activity entirely would be difficult.
“Given the highly fragmented nature of social media platforms and the extensive use of encrypted and private chat channels, it is challenging for ASIC to systematically monitor all activity which may be associated with potential market misconduct,” ASIC said at the time.

Just Musing: A day to pay tribute to our mothers
Today is Mother’s Day — a day set aside to honor mothers for their love, influence in your life, and often sacrifices by your mother to ensure your needs were met.
Did you know the first Mother’s Day was held as a service of worship in Grafton, West Virginia? It was organized by Anna Jarvis as a liturgy to honor motherhood but quickly commercialized to how it is celebrated today.
This is a day to recognize and appreciate the roles mothers play or played in our lives. Think about it. Who taught you how to eat, crawl, walk and talk? Who cuddled and rocked you to sleep as a newborn? Who cleaned up your skinned up knees and elbows and then gave you a hug and kiss? Who held your hand and walked into that big building with you on your first day of school? I could go on and on for each of us have special and different memories of our mother’s and their loving care.
I fondly remember my children coming home from school with a small gift they had made for me — a potted flower in a paper cup, handmade cards (some with a picture of their child inside), a shadow of their head or hand, a poem and original art work among others. They were always so proud of their gift, and I made sure it had a place of prominence in the house for a few weeks.
The most popular ways to honor moms today seem to be to treat her to breakfast, lunch or dinner out and flowers. Those who live a distance away will call or send cards, flowers or gift cards. But, in reality, most moms would rather hear the words "I love you" or "thanks for all you do for us" in place of an expensive gift. I know for me personally that is the best gift.
As we look ahead on the calendar, graduations loom on the horizon for seniors who have worked so hard to make that walk to receive their diploma. Many families will host receptions or open house celebrations to share the joy of their child’s special milestone. Thinking back to my era, we had cake and punch and celebrated with grandparents, aunts and uncles and maybe a few special friends unlike some today that will include a hundred or more. Enough reminiscing. Congratulations to all graduates and their parents. It is a day to celebrate as the graduate looks and plans ahead to their next chapter in life. Some will further their education in college or technical school, join the military, the work force and more. Whatever you decide to do, I wish each of you the best in your next endeavor.
I look forward to making a visit in the near future to see the veterans banners hanging along Main Street in Marion and to especially find the one I purchased in honor of my late husband. Belle Center, the village where I was born and raised, has theirs up in preparation for Memorial Day also.
One last thing before I sign off. I went to the cemetery this week to see if I needed to weed or mulch around the gravesites of my two deceased children only to find that someone had stolen the grave saddle from my daughter's tombstone. It made me mad and sad. My first thought was to walk all over the cemetery looking for it and return to her grave. My second thought was to pray for the thief and make a new one — and that’s my decision.
Let me leave you with this quotation by anonymous: (actually, I copied it from a greeting card) “If you have children, remember this: When you finish with them, the rest of the world has to live with them, so please teach them respect.” Good advice.
Until next week. Happy Mother’s Day.

BotW 2 voice actor accidentally teases a wild spoiler about Link's fate
Link could meet a whole different generation of Champions.
After the recent (and frustratingly vague) Breath of the Wild 2 delay, The Legend of Zelda fans are speculating even more eagerly about what could be in store for Link and Zelda’s next adventure. Nintendo itself has kept a tight lid on news of the sequel, letting almost nothing slip outside of the few trailers it’s released for the game. Even the sequel’s actual name is still a secret. Of course, that hasn’t stopped fans from poring over every scrap of news to find hints of what we’ll be doing in BOTW 2. Now, one fan may have stumbled upon a major development, courtesy of an Italian voice actor.
As spotted by ResetEra user Alexander_Wand, Italian Zelda YouTube channel Lega Hyrule recently posted a video including a short clip of voice actor Pietro Ubaldi, who voices the Goron Champion Daruk in BOTW. Ubaldi reveals that he’s wrapped up his recording sessions for Daruk, letting one other juicy detail slip. The Daruk voice actor isn’t just reprising his role from BOTW, he’s also voicing Daruk’s ancestor. Ubaldi says he doesn’t remember the ancestor’s name but calls them (through translation) “a bit more serious Daruk.”
Voice actor Pietro Ubaldi says he’s voicing both Daruk and a mysterious ancestor in Breath of the Wild 2.
While the lack of a name means Daruk’s ancestor could be anyone, Lega Hyrule suggests one particularly intriguing possibility. The mystery character could be the original pilot of Daruk’s Divine Beast, Rudania, who used the massive machine in the war against Calamity Ganon 10,000 years before BOTW.
Regardless of who this ancestor is, it implies that there’s a look back in time in some form coming in the sequel. It may just be spirits from the past speaking to Link in the present, but there’s a plausible (and far more exciting) second option. Breath of the Wild 2 could send Link back in time.
The idea that time travel will be part of BOTW 2’s plot isn’t a new theory. The game’s reveal trailer showed what looks like the corpse of Ganon in a tomb, held in place by a glowing hand that appears to grab Link a moment later. An E3 2021 BOTW 2 trailer shows Link sporting a wild mane of hair and a toga, his right arm resembling the one seen in the reveal. Fans immediately connected those two pieces of information with the Hyrule shown in the second trailer, where the action with Link in his new duds takes place on floating islands not seen in BOTW. A glimpse at Link’s new abilities in the trailer also seems to show they’ll include some time-manipulation elements.
Breath of the Wild 2’s E3 2021 trailer is full of hints that time travel may come into play.
Ubaldi’s comments throw even more weight behind the BOTW 2 time travel theory. As far as we know, Link never met this ancestor of Daruk’s, so it’s unlikely they’ll appear in flashbacks. Instead, Link could meet them directly in the past, perhaps even fighting by their side in the battle against Calamity Ganon.
Even the reveal that new lines are being recorded for Daruk is a bit more interesting than it seems at first. Lega Hyrule’s points out this is a “strange thing in itself since at the end of Breath of the Wild he disappears, he goes to the afterlife.” Indeed, after Link conquers the Divine Beast Rudania, Daruk’s spirit is freed, passing to the other side with the other former Champions. That doesn’t mean his spirit couldn’t return, but with time travel already seeming to be a part of the game, we could just as easily encounter Daruk in his own time.
The sudden introduction of time travel in a fantasy game may sound odd, but longtime Zelda fans know it’s an old trick for the series. Several games have featured time travel, most notably Ocarina of Time, where Link zips back and forth through the timeline over the course of the game. A field trip 10,000 years into the past in BOTW 2 would be a much bigger jump for sure but still falls well within the established Zelda canon.
Of course, this is all just speculation until Nintendo decides the game is ready to show again, so take it all with a grain of salt. Pondering over it won’t make the wait for BOTW 2 any easier, but it at least gives fans a new theory to pick to pieces until it’s released. | https://www.inverse.com/gaming/breath-of-the-wild-2-voice-actor-time-travel-spoiler-daruk | 2022-05-08T20:01:32Z | https://www.inverse.com/gaming/breath-of-the-wild-2-voice-actor-time-travel-spoiler-daruk | false | 1 |
BJP plans Christian outreach to strengthen base in Kerala
Desperate to carve a designated space in the southern state, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seems to be using all the opportunities to strengthen its base in Kerala, including the meets with Christian religious heads making it to the national leaders’ itinerary.
Party president J P Nadda’s visit to Kozhikode (north Kerala) last Friday was no exception as he met Tamarassery Bishop Remigious Paul Inchananiyil.
“We discussed general situation in the country,” Inchananiyil skirted questions when asked about the BJP’s “latest love for church”.
Last week, minister of state for minority affairs John Birla, and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sampark Pramukh, Ramlal, met many leaders, including Arch Bishop Cardinal Baselios Cleemis. The party also reportedly assured church leaders that the Union government will do everything possible to realise Pope Francis’ visit to the country.
Last year, when three Cardinals of the Catholic church — George Alancherry, Baslios Cleemis and Oswald Gracias — met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi they renewed their long-pending demand for the Pope’s visit and the PM agreed to their request. In 2018, when the Pope visited Bangladesh, the church asked the government to invite him to India but nothing materialised.
“We have been assured that the much-awaited Papal visit will be made possible by this year end or early next year,” a senior leader of the Syro-Malabar church said, adding that the official announcement will be there shortly. The last Pope to visit the country was John Paul II in 1999.
Last year, the PM talked to leaders of warring Jacobite and Orthodox factions to broker peace at the initiative of Goa governor P S Sreedharan Pillai.
Party leaders admit that they approached a few sulking Christian leaders aiming to float a new political outfit but their efforts are yet to pay off. Recently, when the saffron unit approached senior Congress leader K V Thomas, he expressed inclination towards the Communist camp.
Later, when the party approached first NDA MP from Kerala, P C Thomas — a junior minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee cabinet — to rejoin the BJP-led coalition, reportedly his cold- shouldered reply: “Vajpayee-era party to Modi-period, the distance is far” dampened their spirit.
Kerala Congress former general secretary George Sebastian’s outfit, Association of Christian Trust Services, seems to be an effort to bridge this gap.
“As of now, it is a non-political social outfit. Our aim is to establish a healthy relationship and remove all the misunderstandings between the party that is ruling the country and the church,” said Sebastian. He said besides established church denominations, there are many independent churches in the state and the new outfit will try to bring them under one umbrella.
‘FEAR FACTOR’
Minister of state for external affairs V Muraleedharan, hailing from the state, said that the Congress and CPI(M) instil fear among Christian community and keep them away from the BJP.
“In north-eastern states and Goa, the BJP gained support from the community but in Kerala some forces are trying to keep the community away from the party. Left and Congress often join hands to mount this misunderstanding but their designs won’t last long,” he said.
“They are deliberately creating this fear that Sangh Parivar is trying to make a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ and that Muslims and Christians will be targeted. But facts tell truth. In last eight years, communal riots came down to 20% compared to previous UPA regimes,” said Minority Morcha national vice-president Noble Mathew adding there is a perceptible change in community’s attitude towards the BJP. He said isolated incidents in other parts of the state get big publicity and a section of people is working behind this.
The party knows it well that going by the demographic pattern — 54.73% Hindus, 26.56% Muslims and 18.38% Christians (2011 census) — it is difficult to penetrate the state without the support of Christian community. Party leaders say though the community supports it in north-eastern states and Goa whole heartedly, in Kerala, Left and Congress have been working to create en environment of “fear psychosis” and recent meetings were aimed at dealing with the same.
Last year, when Pala Bishop Mar Joseph Kallaranghat raised “narcotic jihad” allegations, the BJP was first to defend him. The Bishop came out against a section of Muslim community saying “Catholic girls and youth were targeted by jihadi elements in the state.” Later, the government had booked him for creating enmity between different religious groups.
In the Kozhikode meeting, Nadda also said that Christian leaders who raise genuine concerns were silenced by the ruling CPI(M). He accused the Left front government of supporting fundamentalist forces and claimed that Kerala has turned a breeding ground for extremist elements under its rule.
“Christian leaders have recently raised concern over fast demographic changes taking place in the state. Instead of addressing their concerns, the government is silencing them. The government’s pseudo- secular policies are harming the communal fabric of the state,” the BJP president said.
But the ruling CPI(M) strongly objected to Nadda and said his desperation was quite evident. “The saffron party is desperate. North-Indian model lynching or polarisation is not taking place here. The state has a strong secular fabric and nobody can damage it. Despite all rhetoric, the party will remain a distant third in the state,” said Politburo member M A Baby.
STRONG RSS PRESENCE
Even after the strong presence of its ideological mentor RSS in the state, electoral success has eluded the BJP.
The state has 4,500 shakhas, one of the highest in the country, despite strong opposition from left extremist elements, said RSS joint secretary Krishna Gopal last year. The party never crossed 15% mark in bi-polar polity of the state. In 2021 assembly elections it forfeited the lone assembly seat in Nemom.
“In Kerala, both Congress and CPI(M) close their ranks to defeat prospective BJP candidates. They openly trade votes to realise this. But things will change,” said BJP leader S Suresh.
Political observers however feel it is difficult for the party to placate the community in the state. “The party will have to play its cards well and strengthen the organisation rather than playing to gallery,” said political commentator Sunnykutty Abraham. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/bjp-plans-christian-outreach-to-strengthen-base-in-kerala-101652035401047.html | 2022-05-08T20:04:02Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/bjp-plans-christian-outreach-to-strengthen-base-in-kerala-101652035401047.html | true | 2 |
The amount of blocks available in Minecraft makes building almost anything possible. Many players build places from TV shows, other games, and so much more. There's even a current project in which members are attempting to recreate the world at a one-to-one ratio, which will be an incredible feat when it's finished.
The endless possibilities also allow players to turn Minecraft into something that the game isn't. Minecraft is fundamentally a building game, and outlandish builds make sense because it's what the game is. What the game isn't, however, is a horror game. Despite the sometimes frightening nature of some things, the game just doesn't qualify as a horror game, but players can change that. And that's what one Minecraft Redditor did when they created an intense horror map.
Minecraft gamer makes custom horror map, leaves community amazed
Minecraft is not inherently scary. Once the Warden and the Deep Dark biome get added to the game, that's liable to change. But right now, it's not a frightening game. That doesn't mean it can't be, though.
Through a lack of light and the right use of certain blocks, a horror aesthetic can be attained without even changing the texture pack or using shaders. This Redditor did just that.
The map features a small village with an exact replica hanging from the ceiling. It's an eerie creation that harkens back to the use of reflections as a horror device in many movies.
The interior of the first location features low lighting and many different ways to go. It's truly a maze, but it also emanates terror. There's no real direction as to where the player should go, and players can wander around aimlessly, getting more scared by the minute.
Outside, the village features an armored Steve that follows players everywhere they go, once again going back to the classic tropes of horror movies.
There are buildings with next to no light and no space to move around. There's a haunting forest that seems like it will never end.
Needless to say, everything this Redditor did worked perfectly and will scare anyone willing to take a shot at the map.
The community loves the map and has given it a ton of love. Several comments were filled with positivity, and one commenter was floored by the quality.
Some commenters were desperate for a link, so the creator obliged.
There were certainly a few frightening elements.
A classic horror trope.
Just watching the video was enough for some players.
This Redditor couldn't put it better. They are absolutely right!
It can only get scarier from here on out.
Everyone can appreciate a good video.
So far, the post has nearly 20 thousand upvotes in less than 24 hours. The OP definitely hit a home run with the map they created. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/minecraft-redditor-creates-eerie-custom-horror-map | 2022-05-08T20:14:31Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/minecraft-redditor-creates-eerie-custom-horror-map | true | 1 |

Trump wanted to 'quietly' bomb Mexico, seriously, ex-Defense Secretary Mark Esper recounts
In the summer of 2020, unhappy about the flow of drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, then-President Donald Trump asked his defense secretary, Mark Esper, if the U.S. military could "shoot missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs," Esper writes in his forthcoming memoir of working in the Trump administration.

Tipperary hurling legend Padraic Maher says there was "very disappointing support for our boys in Limerick" at the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday.
Limerick bagged 2-8 to Tipperary's 0-2 in the last fifteen minutes of this Munster senior hurling championship tie to win their third consecutive game, as Tipperary fell to their third defeat and elimination for the season.
The hurling great added: "They deserve better. For 60 mins was there for us, ran outa steam after pouring everything into it. Proud."
Very disappointing support for our boys in limerick today. They deserve better. For 60 mins was there for us, ran outa steam after pouring everything into it. Proud

Marseille on track for Champions League spot
Issued on: Modified:
Paris (AFP) – Marseille grabbed back second place in Ligue 1 on Sunday with a 3-0 win at Lorient that puts them firmly on track for Champions League football next season.
Jorge Sampaoli's side were denied a place in the Europa Conference League final by Feyenoord on Thursday, but they are eyeing a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage next season after opening up a three-point lead over Monaco.
Goals from Bamba Dieng, Matteo Guendouzi and Gerson gave Marseille a straightforward win in Brittany.
"We're very happy with this result today, which wasn't easy but was really important," Sampaoli said.
"I think that after a match like the one against Feyenoord, we found the right sort of play to give our response."
As Marseille look set to head back to the Champions League, the once illustrious Bordeaux slipped closer to relegation after crashing 4-1 at Angers.
Bordeaux are rock bottom of Ligue 1, one point behind Metz.
If Saint-Etienne, who have four points more than Bordeaux, win at Nice on Wednesday, then the west coast club's 30-year stay in the top-flight will end.
PSG, already crowned champions, host Troyes in the late match.

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.

A spate of wildness crept into the arms of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Bottom of the 6th inning in Great American Ball Park on Sunday, a wildness that helped coax the moribund Cincinnati Reds back to life.
Dillon Peters, who had not yet allowed a run this year, walked the bases loaded before Tommy Pham walked with them loaded to cut a Pirates lead to just 2-1, and the Pirates then turned to former Red Heath Hembree to clean up the damage. In a battle of former-former, though, it was former Pirate (and Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game) Colin Moran that got the job done, as he blasted a Hembree meatball deep into the sun deck beyond the RF wall for the 5th grand slam of his career.
It was Moran’s first blast as a Red, and it flipped the scoreboard in a way the Reds have failed to do repeatedly during their dismal 5-23 start to the season. To pour a bit more salt in the Pirates wound, Moran would later launch his second homer of the season, too - a 2-run moonball over the CF wall that put the final touches on a 7-3 win.
It was a pretty solid all-around effort, all told. Tyler Mahle was inefficient yet again in his start, but he did hold the Pirates to a lone hit in his 5 IP - it was a 2-run HR, of course, but still just a lone hit. Art Warren was nails in his IP, too, and even though it was merely the Pirates around for the thumping, it was nevertheless an outing that finally, mercifully looked like one expected from a big league baseball club.
That’ll be needed again tomorrow, as the Reds welcome the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers to town. Luis Castillo will make his season debut, which is exciting, but the Reds will be tasked with taking down Brandon Woodruff to turn this into a win streak. First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. | https://www.redreporter.com/2022/5/8/23062650/colin-moran-cincinnati-reds-pittsburgh-pirates | 2022-05-08T21:04:55Z | https://www.redreporter.com/2022/5/8/23062650/colin-moran-cincinnati-reds-pittsburgh-pirates | false | 1 |

By KEN POWTAK Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — José Abreu hit a go-ahead double in the 10th after the White Sox tied it an inning earlier, helping Chicago beat the Boston Red Sox 3-1 Saturday at windy Fenway Park for its fifth straight win.
Leury García had two singles and a game-tying sacrifice fly in the ninth for the White Sox (13-13), who reached .500 for the first time since April 21.
“We really worked to win that game,” Chicago manager Tony La Russa said. “They did, too, but we really worked and got rewarded. All game long we just kept trying to push. … The team was rewarded for trying so hard, it just makes it extra special.”
Rafael Devers had an RBI double for Boston, which has lost 13 of 17. The Red Sox have lost six straight series.
Boston manager Alex Cora was ejected by home plate umpire Carlos Torres for arguing after Trevor Story was called out on strikes.
Abreu drove in automatic runner AJ Pollock and Luis Robert followed with an RBI single off Matt Barnes (0-3).
Reynaldo López (4-0) worked two innings of scoreless relief and Liam Hendricks got three outs for his ninth save.
The Red Sox wasted a strong start by Jake Pivetta, who went six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks, allowing five singles.
Chicago tied it on García’s fly against Hansel Robles after Jake Burger walked and advanced on Adam Engel’s double inside the third-base bag.
“This kind of game, that’s what we need to get our confidence up,” Robert said through a translator. “We had a really tough April. To win these kind of games, our hope is up, our confidence is up, everything is up.”
Boston didn’t score after getting runners on second and third with one out in the ninth. Bobby Dalbec fanned before Story popped out and got booed.
“We had a chance to finish the game in the ninth,” said Cora after his team fell to 0-6 in extra-inning games. “We didn’t make contact with less than two outs and that was it. Where we’re at right now, any chance we have, we have to take advantage.”
White Sox starter Dylan Cease gave up a run on four hits in five innings, striking out eight and walking three. In his previous start, he pitched seven shutout innings, allowing only one hit and fanning 11.
“It means a lot,” Cease said of the win. “This is just one of those games we had to battle. To do it late shows we didn’t give up.”
Devers lined his hit off the Green Monster against Cease the next pitch after stumbling out of the way on a high and tight mph fastball.
The game started with winds blowing in from center at 25 mph, gusting to 35, and it knocked down many flyballs, making some an adventure.
Boston’s Franchy Cordero hit a drive with an exit velocity of 112.4 mph to right — the second-hardest batted ball by a Red Sox player to that point this season — and it carried back, ending up being a shallow out.
TRAINER’S ROOM
White Sox: 3B Yoán Moncada, who started the season on the injured list with a strained right oblique, could return Monday. He’s currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte.
Red Sox: CF Kiké Hernández was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list a day after he was put on it and outfielder Jarren Duran was sent back to Triple-A.
GETTING HIS POINT ACROSS
Cora stepped out of the dugout, with his large jacket falling to the ground as he came out to argue with Torres after Story walked away upset by a borderline, high fastball.
MORE WINDS BLOWIN’
García hit a routine fly that left fielder Alex Verdugo rushed in for, making a diving bid before it fell for a hit.
Boston 2B Story lined up in shallow right ready to catch a pop but had to race into foul territory for the grab.
“It was an adventure,” La Russa said. “I’m sure it was entertaining for fans watching big leaguers. You saw how quickly they started making adjustments. … The cold and wind blowing in makes it tough on offenses.”
UP NEXT
LHP Dallas Keuchel (1-3, 8.40 ERA) looks to snap a personal three-game losing streak for the White Sox in Sunday’s series finale with a scheduled first pitch of 11:35 a.m. RHP Michael Wacha (3-0, 1.38) is set for Boston. He’s given up two or fewer runs, going five-plus innings in each of his last four starts.

Audible Canada is bringing back the Indigenous Writers’ Circle mentorship program to connect celebrated Indigenous authors with up-and-coming young Indigenous writers.
The Indigenous Writers’ Circle brings seven mentors — Richard Van Camp, Angela Sterritt, Reneltta Arluk, Ryan McMahon, Janet Rogers, Dr. Jas M. Morgan and Clayton Thomas-Muller — to guide Indigenous writers through the creative process and pursue opportunities to meet their goals as writers.
Sterritt, an award-winning journalist with the CBC and author of an upcoming memoir Unbroken, said it feels great to mentor aspiring Indigenous writers.
“I had so many mentors support me and lift me up,” she said. “… For me to come full circle to be able to support Indigenous youth and select them — that is huge. There were projects like this when I was growing up, but never did I have an Indigenous mentor. That’s everything to be able to sit across from someone and ask ‘how did you get here.”
Samantha Krilow is a Metis post-secondary student pursuing a degree in creative writing. Krilow participated in the Writers’ Circle last year and was matched with Tanya Talaga. Krilow said the Circle gave her valuable insight into what life as a writer is like and helped her to write in her own Indigenous voice.
“I had been working on a young adult thriller centred around two Indigenous women. The circle really changed that story. They turned it from a story that happened to feature Indigenous characters to an Indigenous story told by an Indigenous writer.”
The Circle helped Krilow build her story around elements from her Metis culture, specifically a werewolf creature called a rougarou. By the end of the circle, Krilow had completed half of her manuscript. She’s hard at work completing the rest as she finishes her degree.
Applications for the Indigenous Writers’ Circle are open until May 31 to writers who self-identify as Indigenous, Inuit or Metis. Ideal candidates have an interest, background knowledge or training in writing and are considering pursuing a career in literary arts. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
There are 21 spots open for participants.
Bursaries of $1,500 are available to support applicants through the six-month program.

MONTEREY, Calif., May 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorneys for the family of Carlos Patino Regalado filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Monterey County Jail and Wellpath after Carlos was found dead as the result of suicide stemming from alleged negligent care by the facility and staff.
On March 19, 2021, Carlos passed away as the result of injuries suffered in a suicide attempt just six days prior. He was arrested roughly one month before on various charges and both medical and jail staff were made aware that he suffered from serious psychological ailments. Carlos was taken on and off suicide watch on several occasions before his death, according to the complaint.
"We have to remember that these are people. Carlos was a person who needed and deserved to be treated with care and compassion," said attorney Elise Sanguinetti. "His death is the direct result of the negligence of jail and Wellpath staff."
On the day the attempt was made, Carlos had been on suicide watch only hours earlier as he had just returned from the hospital due to a psychiatric emergency. However, the watch was discontinued, and he was placed in an isolation cell. The cell contained a number of hanging points. Inmates suffering from mental health issues, including suicidal ideation, should not be placed in a cell where there is access to hanging point, especially when the inmate is left alone, as Carlos was. In addition, the complaint alleges he was not provided adequate medical and mental health attention or monitoring.
The lawsuit was brought by his mother for wrongful death as well as civil rights violations, medical malpractice, and negligence.
"The jail and Wellpath have been on notice for years regarding the dangers of putting someone like Carlos in an isolated cell with hanging points, but they just keep doing it. It is especially egregious knowing he just returned from the hospital for a mental health crisis and should have been on suicide watch," said attorney Jamie Goldstein. "Monterey County Jail and Wellpath continue to ignore inmates' Constitutional rights, and it's costing them their lives."
The case is Ana Regalado Patino v. County of Monterey, et al., United States District Court, Case No. 5:22-cv-01564.

Ghana Football Association (GFA) appears have step up it efforts to eradicate match fixing from the country’s games following the checking of referees mobile phones.
Referees that officiated Ghana Premier League matchday 27 fixture between WAFA and Asante Kotoko had their mobile phones checked by individuals believed to be integrity officials from Fifa, Caf and Ghana Football Association.
This comes as a result of the alleged increase of match fixing and betting in the top-flight and they checked the devices to see if they had placed a bet or engaged in conversations that suggested the game was manipulated.
The action, according to our sources, was repeated on Friday when Great Olympics defeated Berekum Chelsea 2-0 in the first game of matchday 28.
The integrity officials also took some of the phones belonging to the players during their visit to the dressing room after the game.
Upon the completion of their search, the devices were given out to the rightful owners.
Following the pending match fixing case involving Ashanti Gold and Inter Allies, the FA has concluded to double their efforts since some club officials and other betting syndicates are allegedly influencing results of Premier League games.
With only seven games to end the season, many clubs are fighting for relegation and rumours have it that there are ongoing attempts to influence results in order to avoid the drop.
It will be recalled that two years ago, Ghana Football Association employed Obed Tuffour to lead the integrity department of the body in order to help eradicate or reduce betting and match fixing from the sport.
“The Ghana Football Association has in compliance with FIFA requirements employed Mr. Obed Tuffour as the Association’s Compliance and Integrity Officer,” a GFA statement read.
“FIFA has recommended that all Member Associations should appoint an Integrity Officer who will deal with all integrity-related legal matters as well as the risk of match-fixing and match manipulation.
“Mr. Tuffour will also be responsible for the FA’s Compliance Unit.
“The world football governing body is expected to send an official to train the Association’s new Compliance and Integrity Officer on his role, way of work and ways of identifying acts that might jeopardize the integrity of the game.
“The Compliance and Integrity Officer will be the point of contact for all communications with FIFA/CAF on integrity matters and actively participate in regional integrity workshops and lead the GFA’s integrity action programme.
*He will also lead the implementation of the appropriate national reporting mechanisms and will receive reports related to potential alerts, incidents and/or suspicions.
“The Association’s Integrity Officer will help maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards match manipulation, match fixing and betting.
“In this regard, the GFA hereby informs all Club Officials to refrain from having any form of communication with any match official before and after any match.
“Match officials are also cautioned not to have any form of communication with any Club official or a leading member of any football club before or after any match.
“The Association wishes to inform all that it will not entertain any excuses what so ever when it is established that there has been communication between a match official and club official.
“Additionally, Clubs, Officials and all match officials are to note there will be zero tolerance for such conducts and the consequences for such actions would be dire,” the statement added. | https://dailyguidenetwork.com/match-fixing-fifa-caf-integrity-officials-scrutinize-referees-mobile-phones/ | 2022-05-08T21:36:29Z | https://dailyguidenetwork.com/match-fixing-fifa-caf-integrity-officials-scrutinize-referees-mobile-phones/ | true | 1 |
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper homered again off Max Scherzer and the Philadelphia Phillies became the first team to beat the new Mets ace, snapping a four-game skid by topping New York 3-2 Sunday to open a doubleheader.
Harper, using a pink bat for Mother’s Day, drove a 94 mph fastball from Scherzer (4-1) over the wall in right for a solo homer with two outs in the first. He screamed, “I love you, Mom!” into a TV camera before returning to the dugout.
Harper added an RBI single in the third. The reigning NL MVP also homered off Scherzer, his former Washington teammate, on May 1.
Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm and Jean Segura each had a pair of hits for the Phillies, who bounced back from Thursday’s 8-7 loss to the Mets in which New York rallied for seven runs in the ninth inning.
“I think we needed that,” Phillies starter Kyle Gibson said. “For the offense to come out and do what they did against Max was big.”
The single-admission doubleheader was part of a makeup after games between the teams were rained out Friday and Saturday.
Scherzer suffered his first loss since last May 30, ending a string of 24 straight starts without a defeat. The streak spanned his starts with the Nationals, Dodgers and Mets.
“Heck of a run,” Scherzer said. “Obviously it takes your teammates to be able to do that. I’ll always say that. It’s also kind of cool to be a part of it.”
“You have to go out there and give your team a chance to win. That’s your job as a starting pitcher to give your team a chance to win and pitch deep in the ballgame. I’ve been doing that, at least giving the team a chance to win, and they’ve been picking me up. It’s been kind of a team stat, but it’s good to have a role in it,” he said.
The three-time Cy Young winner signed a three-year, $130 million free-agent deal with the Mets in the offseason. The Phillies recorded 10 hits against the right-hander, marking just the 14th time in 413 career games Scherzer has allowed double-digit hits. Nine of the hits were singles.
“I know I made a mistake to (Harper), but I was executing pitches,” Scherzer said. “It’s part of baseball for them to get some singles to (fall) in, but I feel like they were getting a lot of singles to fall in. But that’s just part of the game. It’s tough to beat yourself up over that.”
Scherzer gave up three runs in six innings, striking out seven and walking none. He remained 18th all-time in strikeouts with 3,069 career K’s.
Gibson (3-1) gave up two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and no walks.
“You’ve got to capitalize on the opportunities (Scherzer) gives you and we did a good job of that,” Gibson said. “It was a great team win.”
Corey Knebel, after blowing the save on Thursday, pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save.
Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte had two hits apiece for the NL East-leading Mets.
Bryson Stott’s RBI single in the fourth put the Phillies in front 3-0.
The Mets got a pair of runs back in the sixth and threatened in the seventh after reliever Seranthony Dominguez walked Pete Alonso and Eduardo Escobar to start the frame. But Dominguez recovered to strike out Dominic Smith, Marte and Luis Guillorme in order to keep Philadelphia in front.
CANO RELEASED
The Mets released 2B Robinson Canó prior to the game. The move comes a week after the slumping Cano was designated for assignment despite nearly $45 million remaining on his contract. The Mets announced the news in their pregame notes and after manager Buck Showalter met with reporters.
The 39-year-old Canó sat out last season while serving his second suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. He batted .195 (8 for 41) with one home run, three RBIs and a paltry .501 OPS in 43 plate appearances for the NL East-leading Mets. Canó has a .302 career batting average with 335 home runs, 1,305 RBIs and an .842 OPS in 17 seasons. He has 2,632 hits, including 571 doubles.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: Right-handed starters Zack Wheeler and Zach Eflin were placed on the COVID-related IL.
UP NEXT
Mets RHP Chris Bassitt (3-2, 2.61) opposes Phillies LHP Cristopher Sánchez (0-0, 5.40) in the second game of the doubleheader on Sunday afternoon.

A Mother’s Day reflection: 'We' is our guide to a more perfect union
The greatest “We” lives inside the human heart.
- Walter Suza of Ames, Iowa, writes frequently on the intersections of spirituality, anti-racism and social justice.
My mother was my hero.
Mom cared about women’s rights, children's rights, human rights and people’s access to food, health care and education.
Mom ensured that me and my siblings were fed, clothed, educated, even after my dad left when I was about 4 years old.
We lived quite a distance from the hospital, and when I was sick and could not walk, she carried me on her back for miles.
Mom was a teacher. She taught me how to read and write.
Mom also taught me to never hesitate to fight injustice. I am writing to fight racism and all forms of injustice and deal with hate in a country that has a long history of hate.
To love America is to fight injustice.
Equal Justice Under Law is a vital ingredient for the American experiment to create a more perfect union.
We must not be a nation where the highest tribunal protects qualified immunity, a law that shields police officers accused of killing innocent people, yet fails to protect voting rights and is now threatening women’s rights.
We must not be a nation where structural racism and implicit bias drive medical care providers to dismiss the concerns of Black women, such that “Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
We must not be a nation where mothers are robbed of their sons because the rate of fatal police shootings remains highest for Black Americans. Patrick Lyoya, a 26-year-old Black Congolese man, was shot in the back of the head by a Grand Rapids, Michigan, police officer, while lying on the ground. Lyoya was unarmed. The officer was on top of Lyoya.

We must not be a nation that deprioritizes fighting child poverty in America, yet prioritize spending trillions of tax dollars in fighting wars.
We need justice to become a more perfect union.
Even though the Founders didn’t exactly describe what the perfect union might look like, we still hope that the guiding principles in the U.S. Constitution would serve as our road map to a more perfect union.
Yet, because of injustice, the path to a more perfect union has never been free of thorns, rocks and barriers of all sorts.
On our way to a more perfect union, feet get wounded, bodies get wounded, spirits get wounded, lives are lost.
The hope is that we will show up to rescue each other like the good Samaritan, who shows up as a neighbor, preacher, teacher, nurse, police officer, state legislator, governor, social worker and a friend.
On our journey to a more perfect union, we must focus on the “we” that helps us see our connection with the wounded along the path.
The “we” I am talking about can be abstract; it can seem too far to grasp, hard to implement, hard to integrate into our human nature, hard to make it an effective tool to defeat injustice.
The “we” might lay asleep inside museums, recorded in remains and artifacts from our past.
The “we” might lay asleep in cemeteries, recorded as names and dates on tombstones.
The “we” might lay asleep inside pyramids, yet remind us of the importance of liberation from oppression.
The “we” sprouted on plantations, reminding us of the importance of cotton and sugar cane in building one of the strongest economies in the world.
The “we” is recorded in America’s history as one of the greatest wrongs, that others have also called a great sin, which tore flesh, broke backs, sold away children, turned humans into beasts of burden.
Yet these are just branches of a greater “we,” which we must embrace to become a more perfect union.
Some believe the greater “we” appeared in America in 1787, when it was penned in the preamble of the Constitution of the United States.
Yes, the “We” in the Constitution is great, but there’s an even greater “We,” which originates farther back in time, even before 1619.
The greatest “We” lives inside the human heart.
It is the “We” that connects us, that guides, that cares, that dreams, that hopes, that wishes for a better future.
It is the “We” which tore and bled when an enslaved child was sold away, a daughter died in childbirth, a son died from a bullet, a parent was incarcerated, a child died because of lead poisoning, COVID-19, missile attacks, systemic racism.
It is the “We” with the power to prevent wars, police brutality, mistreatment of migrants. That “We” has the power to improve civil rights, increase access to voting, health care, food, shelter, education, and safe water.
It is the “We” with the power to end polarization.
I hope all Americans recognize this “We” inside each of us.
That is our nation’s only chance to become a more perfect union.

Five arrested after sheriff’s office serves narcotics search warrant
OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. (Gray News) – Police in Florida arrested five people after serving a narcotics search warrant Tuesday.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said the warrant was executed at a home near Niceville, Florida. The sheriff’s office said the home has been the subject of complaints and is associated with drug overdoses, including an overdose death.
The sheriff’s office said members of its Special Response Team deployed two non-lethal flash bangs outside the home after no one was responding to authorities.
The sheriff’s office said it took four people into custody for resisting an officer.
Patrick Mulcahy, a resident of the home, was taken into custody after the sheriff’s office said he was found to have methamphetamine and a rolled up dollar bill containing meth residue.
He has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate. They said there will be additional charges announced.

NEW YORK, May 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of IronNet, Inc. IRNT between September 15, 2021 and December 15, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important June 21, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased IronNet 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 IronNet class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5641 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 June 21, 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 made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) IronNet had materially overstated its business and financial prospects; (2) IronNet was unable to predict the timing of significant customer opportunities which constituted a substantial portion of its publicly-issued FY 2022 financial guidance; (3) IronNet had not established effective disclosure controls and procedures to reasonably ensure its public disclosures were timely, accurate, complete, and not otherwise misleading; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false, misleading, and/or lacked any reasonable basis in fact at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the IronNet class action, go too https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5641 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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Aaron Ekblad paused for almost 10 seconds to consider what the Florida Panthers need to do better to even their series against the Washington Capitals.
“I think there’s a lot of things that we could do better,” he said. “I think to sum it up simply is: Find the game that we had in the regular season and mold it into a playoff game that we can play.”
It’s no longer the regular season, where the Panthers were the best team in the NHL. Now the pressure is on the Presidents’ Trophy winners and two other favorites all trailing their respective series 2-1 going into Game 3 Monday. The Pacific Division-champion Calgary Flames are in the same spot against the Dallas Stars, as are the New York Rangers against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
“Pressure you can handle two ways,” Florida interim coach Andrew Brunette said. “It can beat you down, or you could pick it up a notch and work harder and bring that level of battle and intensity to a higher level.”
Intensity has been lacking and nervousness high for the Panthers against an opponent with much more playoff experience and a history of success this time of year. They need to find a remedy for that in Game 4 Monday night (7 p.m. EDT, TBS) or they’ll be on the brink of elimination and another early postseason exit.
“If we win a game, we’re evened up and we’re on home ice again,” forward Sam Reinhart said. “It’s a seven-game series. We’re three games in, and we know our best hockey is yet to be played and it’s right there for us.”
Asked if he might consider inserting veteran Joe Thornton or other lineup changes, Brunette said the Panthers were “considering everything.” A demotion could also be in order for top-pairing defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, who has struggled in the series.
“Everything’s on the table,” Brunette said after a short, intense practice full of battle drills. “It’s kind of nice to have a day reprieve here, really a day and a half, and go over a few things. We’re going to make some decisions.”
The decisions seem easy on the Capitals side after Ilya Samsonov stopped 29 of 30 shots in his first start this series. It’s status quo for Washington with right winger Tom Wilson still expected to be out and no reason for major changes.
RANGERS at PENGUINS (7 p.m., ESPN)
The Rangers went into the playoffs with a slight edge on the Penguins in large part because of Igor Shesterkin, who was one of the best goaltenders in the league this season. They lost Game 3 at Pittsburgh in large part because Shesterkin allowed four goals on 15 shots and got the hook after the first period.
“He’s not an easy goalie to beat,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “I think our guys so far have done a really good job at trying to create the net traffic and making the sightlines difficult for Shesterkin.”
For the Rangers to overcome their deficit in playoff experience against Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins, they’ll almost certainly need Shesterkin to return to Vezina Trophy-caliber form. He showed he could do it in the playoffs by making 79 saves in Game 1, which went to triple overtime.
Teammates in front of Shesterkin also need to be better.
“I don’t think we were playing together, especially at this point of the season,” forward Chris Kreider said. “Effort is not something you question. It’s a matter of working smart, not hard.”
FLAMES at STARS (9:30 p.m., TBS)
The Flames are working plenty hard, but they’re in a tough battle against Dallas, which plays a similar style. The series has had only seven goals, not counting empty-netters, and offense is difficult to come by.
Confidence, on the other hand, is not an issue for Calgary, which had 111 points in the regular season — 13 more than the Stars.
“I have more than enough belief in this group to know that we can come out of this,” winger Matthew Tkachuk said. “We know that this series, ultimately the way the two teams play and how competitive it is and similar styles, it’ll probably go the distance, if not really close. We’ve got to come in here and win one game.”
MVP candidate Johnny Gaudreau, who led the league in even-strength points, has just two assists in the series. Like Tkachuk, he’s not concerned about the Flames trailing in the first round and suggests they flip the script despite going in as favorites.
“We’ve been underdogs all year,” Gaudreau said. “No one expected us to be where we’re at right now, so we’ll just keep that same mindset that we’ve had all year and we’ll be fine.”
Not if the Stars have anything to do about it. Much like the Capitals and Penguins, they have more recent playoff success to draw from after reaching the Stanley Cup Final in 2020 and understand how to handle the ups and downs from game to game.
“As the series goes on, it gets more and more intense,” coach Rick Bowness said. “Calgary doesn’t want to go down 3-1. We want to put them down 3-1. We want to put them down 3-1, so the intensity just goes along with the predicament that the teams find themselves in. We’ll handle it.”
AVALANCHE at PREDATORS, Colorado leads 3-0 (9:30 p.m., ESPN)
The predicament the Nashville Predators find themselves in is on the brink of being swept by the Avalanche. Colorado has looked every bit like the Cup favorite it was supposed to be and is one victory away from advancing to the second round for a fourth consecutive year.
Forward Logan O’Connor said the Avalanche have a swagger they’re trying to bring each game. That includes the second one of this series that went to overtime.
“At the start of the year, if we would have had a game like we did in Game 2, we might have got frustrated and guys might have gone on their own page a little bit, try and do things individually a little more,” O’Connor said. “And in that Game 2, I think we exemplified how far we’ve come because everyone was just determined to keep doing what we’re doing."
Colorado got a scare when goaltender Darcy Kuemper took an inadvertent stick to his right eye from Nashville’s Ryan Johansen on Saturday and left the game. Avs coach Jared Bednar said Sunday after further evaluation Kuemper’s eye was fine with no vision loss and the only problem was swelling.
Kuemper could play in Game 4 if the swelling goes down, but with a 3-0 series lead the Avalanche could play it safe and start Pavel Francouz. No matter who’s in goal, the aim remains the same.
“We got to continue to play the same way we have the first three games of the series,” Bednar said. “I’ve liked all three games with our group. Just you know stay resilient.”

Put more efforts to tackle insecurity, hunger, Catholic Bishops tell leaders
Catholic Bishops from the 16 countries of West Africa have called on the political class to do more to address the problems of insecurity, poverty and hunger in the sub-region.
This call was made by the Catholic Bishops on Sunday at the end of their 4th Plenary Assembly, which was held in Abuja with the theme: ‘Fratelli Tutti: Path to build brotherhood and sustainable peace in West Africa’
The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, His Grace Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama, while speaking with journalists, explained that matters of security, the well-being of the people, and peaceful coexistence should not be toyed with.
He stated, “We ask our politicians to talk less but do more. They talk a lot, promise a lot, campaign a lot, but do very little concretely to eliminate the hunger, the insecurity, the diseases, and all that we suffer from.
“They must go from mere talking to action. All the differences, the prejudices, and stereotypes that divide us, we should be able to seriously do something about them.”
He maintained that there was no part of Nigeria and other countries in the West Africa subregion that did not have its inherent security challenges; urging every citizen to look inwards and eschew evil.
Kaigama added, “The problems have not diminished. They are still there, but our collective will to tackle them has not diminished either. When there is life, there is hope.
“We will, therefore, continue to talk, examine, and x-ray the problems before us. With every goodwill and determination, we shall succeed.
“This is what we tell ourselves as Bishops, priests, and all Christians. Let’s do something rather than cry and worry. Let’s actively do something concrete.”
He also urged the people to take active roles in building brotherhood and sisterhood in their country and among humanity, saying it is not just about talk, but implementation.
Likewise, in a pastoral message read during the closing Mass of the Plenary Assembly, the West African Bishops, under the auspices of RECOWA, noted that the human fraternity today was under serious threat.
“We, therefore, call on political and traditional leaders to renew their commitment to working for the welfare and wellbeing of all of our people.
“We appeal to all in leadership, traditional and political, businessmen and women, public and civil servants, and especially our youth to stand together to defend our cherished values of family and brotherliness, which have always been the bedrock of our African cultures and traditions.
“As Africans, we have always lived for one another. We must rise up now, identify our gifts and use them to build bridges of friendship and love. God, who is the father of all of us, calls us to this,” the pastoral message stressed.

Mother’s Day in Los Angeles County included shoppers at a Pasadena supermarket being serenaded by members of the famed Mariachi Divas and Mariachi Espectacular, Archbishop Jose Gomez blessing mothers at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels and Hillside Memorial Park & Mortuary in Culver City conducting its annual Mother’s Day Remembrance Service.
Customers — particularly mothers out picking shopping for staples and such — enjoyed performances by members of the two-time GRAMMY Award winning Mariachi Divas and Mariachi Espectacular at the Pasadena Vallarta Supermarket in honor of Mother’s Day. Roses were also handed out to moms at Vallarta stores.
Archbishop Gomez presented carnations to mothers as he celebrated the 10 a.m. English-language Mass as did the cathedral’s pastor, the Rev. David Gallardo, at the noon Spanish-language Mass.
“We should give thanks to God for our mothers every day for all their sacrifices and love,” Gomez said before the Mass. “For Catholics, motherhood is a vocation, a special calling from Jesus Christ. Mothers especially are our first teachers about prayer, charity and the practices of our Christian faith.”
Hillside Memorial Park & Mortuary’s Mother’s Day Remembrance Service consisted of music, prayer, tribute and celebration.
In his Mother’s Day proclamation, President Joe Biden wrote, “Every Mother’s Day, we give special thanks to honor and celebrate the mothers in our lives. Mothers across America provide unconditional love and extraordinary strength. They are our rocks in moments of crisis and our guiding lights when we need it most.
“Our nation would not be where we are today without their enduring foundation of love and support.”
Mother’s Day was initially proposed in 1870 by activist-poet Julia Ward Howe as a call for peace and disarmament. It was celebrated in 18 cities in 1873, continued for another 10 years or so in Boston under Howe’s backing, then died out.
The second attempt to establish Mother’s Day began on May 9, 1907, the second anniversary of the death of Anna Jarvis’ mother Ann.
Jarvis invited several friends to her home in Philadelphia in commemoration of her mother’s life, which included providing nursing care and promoting better sanitation during the Civil War, helping save lives on both sides.
Jarvis announced to her friends her idea of a day of national celebration in honor of mothers, which was first celebrated on May 10, 1908, at the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, where Ann Jarvis worshipped.
The church is now known as the International Mother’s Day Shrine.
West Virginia Gov. William E. Glasscock issued the first Mother’s Day proclamation in 1910.
By 1911, it was celebrated in nearly every state. President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional joint resolution in 1914 designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day nationally. | https://www.sgvtribune.com/2022/05/08/mothers-day-in-la-county-from-serenades-to-sermons-to-ceremonies-and-more/ | 2022-05-08T22:41:37Z | https://www.sgvtribune.com/2022/05/08/mothers-day-in-la-county-from-serenades-to-sermons-to-ceremonies-and-more/ | false | 7 |

Popular Kumawood director Frank Fiifi Gharbin has rendered an unqualified apology to Alex Kofi Adu Mensah known as Agya Koo after 10 years of bad blood between them.
There was a misunderstanding between Agya Koo and Frank Fiifi Gharbin after the shooting of the controversial Okomfo Anokye movie produced by Paul Gee Movie production.
It would be recalled that Agya Koo revealed on Kumasi-based Angel Fm Drive Time show hosted by Ike De Unpredictable and monitored by MyNewsGh.com that, Director Frank Fiifi Gharbin wanted him (Agya Koo) to go naked and shoot a scene in the Okomfo Anokye movie but he refused to do that after consultation with some elders at Manhyia Palace.
Agya Koo explained that Directors and Producers in the Kumawood Movie Industry plotted against him and sidelined him from lead movie roles after refusing to go naked in the said movie.
Frank Fiifi Gharbin speaking on Angel Fm Entertainment Show hosted by Ike De Unpredictable said “Ike, I’m not here to explain issues or defend myself. Agya Koo is my elder brother so I have to humble myself and accept my mistakes”
“After what happened between me and my brother Agya Koo, people including some directors and producers have made several attempts to resolve the issue but I think this is the right time to apologize to Agya Koo” Frank Fiifi Gharbin said on live radio.
“Anything that happened during the shooting of Okomfo Anokye Movie, I accept the blame because I directed the movie. I will not blame anyone but all that I want to tell my brother Agya Koo is to forgive me so that we can work as a team to strengthen the pillars of the Kumawood Movie Industry,” he added.
“Agya Koo and I allowed people to create confusion between us because he was the best actor and a legend and I was the best director in the Kumawood Movie Industry so Ghanaians love watching Agya Koo Movies I directed
“On behalf of FIPAG PRO Mawule Ekpe Peter Abro, Ike De Unpredictable, Amandzeba, Dr Kwaku Oteng and crew members who helped the shooting of Okomfo Anokye Movie Industry, I want my brother Agya Koo to forgive me and see me as his younger brother”
“We need teamwork, love and unity to revive Kumawood Movie Industry because Ghanaians are calling for us and we cannot disappoint them,” he added. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Kumawood-movie-director-apologises-to-Agya-Koo-after-10-years-of-beef-1532993 | 2022-05-08T22:42:32Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Kumawood-movie-director-apologises-to-Agya-Koo-after-10-years-of-beef-1532993 | true | 4 |
The top orange lip colors for all complexions
If you’re looking for the perfect post-summer look, a tube of orange lipstick will be a great addition to your makeup cabinet. Although the bright hue can seem a little intimidating to anyone who hasn’t tried it before, the color looks great on lips regardless of skin tone or what season it is. The vibrant shade comes in a variety of hues ranging from bright coral to muted red-orange.
What to know before you buy orange lipsticks
Skin tone
The first step in finding the right lip color for you is to establish which kind of skin tone you may have. Fair, light, medium, tan and deep are the most common types. People with fairer skin tend to look best in lighter shades such as a sheer tangerine or lively peach, while those with medium skin can easily rock a bold shade of velvet red or deep red-brown.
Skin undertone
Expert advice recommends that you use your natural skin undertone as a good rule of thumb when deciding which shade works well with your complexion. If you have a warmer tone underneath, then a lip color with a deep hue will compliment you the best.
If you have a cooler skin tone, look for shades that also complement your naturally pink, red, and blue hues. Those with neutral undertones usually possess a mixture of either one or don’t have a very noticeable undertone, to begin with.
Type
Regardless of your complexion, look for lipsticks with moisturizing agents that help keep lips soft and smooth. Satin and sheer glosses are also good alternatives due to their oil ingredients. Matte formulas are usually recommended if you want the appearance of smooth younger lips. Cream lipsticks contain more wax than other types and have more negative side effects that cause lips to become dry and crack.
Finish
Depending on what makeup look you are going for, a lipstick with the perfect finish should be at the top of your list. Sheer coverage is great if you prefer a natural and soft look, especially if trying bolder colors is more intimidating. Creamy finishes can appear opaque but usually have a natural yet noticeable hue.
Satin lipsticks are one of the most popular choices amongst makeup connoisseurs and have a longer wear time coupled with a great color payoff. Matte colors require more precision when being applied and come in a variety of vibrant pigments. Metallic and glitter finishes aren’t commonly used in everyday looks but can be fun to experiment with.
Hue
Seasons and trends can dictate which lipstick colors are most popular during any given time. Hues can be any color of the rainbow, from bold fluorescent pinks, exciting orange corals, and deep plum purples. For those newly introduced to the bold lip, a neutral color will fit your style better than shades that have a large variety of vibrant colors.
Formula
Some formulas are long-lasting and hydrating, which can work well for anyone that doesn’t like to reapply several coats. Others can be waterproof and smudge resistant if you find adding another swipe cumbersome after each meal or drink. Highly pigmented formulas with strong levels of saturation are also a great investment if the lip stain trend is more your look.

Bloomberg News
For years, HSBC Holdings Plc and Ping An Insurance Group Co. enjoyed a cozy relationship, from the turns they took financially backing each other to the easy rapport between their influential chairmen.
That’s why shock rippled through the top ranks of the $3 trillion British bank when it emerged the firm’s biggest shareholder was pushing for the most dramatic split in banking history.
Ping An, led by Peter Ma, is urging HSBC Chairman Mark Tucker to consider options including breaking the firm apart and listing its Asian operations separately on the stock market. In a recent private memo, the Chinese financial giant enumerated a litany of perceived management failures at HSBC, from underwhelming returns to swelling costs.
That’s quite an activist turn for a longtime supportive shareholder, prompting questions to swirl over whether it’s driven by the bank’s moribund valuation, Ping An’s own dramatic stock plunge, or a push from Beijing. And the biggest unknown: how would HSBC bowing to rising geopolitical tensions even work?
“Ping An understands the way regulatory winds are blowing,” said Isaac Stone Fish, founder of Strategy Risks, which specializes in corporate relationships with China. “Companies increasingly have to choose sides between the U.S. and China, and we might see more corporations considering breaking up as a way to choose between the two powers.”
What would an HSBC breakup mean?
The implications could be vast. HSBC is headquartered in London but operates across 64 countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Malaysia. Approximately half of its 220,000 employees are based in the region. Any breakup would cost billions of dollars, with analysts at Barclays Plc estimating in a research note that the changes could knock 3% to 8% off the group’s market value. It would also be a body blow to the City of London and a black eye for the global bank model.
Most analysts, current and ex-HSBC executives say the chances of a breakup remain remote for now. Dividing one of the world’s largest financial groups would be horrendously difficult, with analysts at Barclays calling it “complex and costly.”
An increased focus on Asia may not even be a boon. There’s a risk of Covid cases hitting China’s economy, while the country’s “beleaguered real estate sector is also a continuing headwind for the bank, which a separate Asia-focused entity would be particularly susceptible to,” said Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
Even an old HSBC rival says that breaking up the bank isn’t a good idea. “It is very important that large financial institutions like HSBC and Citigroup stay because they are fundamental to global trade corridors,” said Mervyn Davies, a former chairman of Standard Chartered Plc, the emerging markets-focused lender. “If we end up with regional banks it is going to be a problem.”
But while Ping An’s proposal might prove to be a pipedream, the relationship between the two firms has shifted.
Is Ping An calling the shots?
Before now, Ping An’s thoughts have rarely spilled beyond the boardroom. The now-public nature of this debate — which first emerged in a Bloomberg News report — suggests it is exasperated. One former senior HSBC executive, who asked not to be identified discussing the situation, describes it as one of the most significant events in the lender’s recent history.
After Ping An felt that its message was not getting through, it decided on a more aggressive approach, according to people familiar with the talks. That blindsided senior HSBC executives, according to one person familiar with the discussions, who said that while HSBC and Ping An had frequent dialog, the idea of splitting off the Asian unit had never formally been raised. Since the news broke there have been no formal communications between the two sides, the person said.
“HSBC has a regular program of engagement with all our investors and is committed to maximizing value for all our shareholders,” the bank said in a statement. “We believe we’ve got the right strategy and are focused on executing it.”
A representative for Ping An declined to comment.
Bloomberg opinion: HSBC split is a surefire way to destroy value
Despite the lack of talks, the insurer has plenty of weight to throw around. Ping An, which was founded as a state entity in 1988, is now a full-spectrum financial behemoth roughly equal in size to its old mentor. Its more than 8% stake makes it HSBC’s largest shareholder.
Once advertised as “The World’s Local Bank,” the idea of HSBC retreating from a global business to Ping An’s preferred model of an Asian regional lender is likely to be hard to swallow for a bank that has long championed the benefits of its worldwide network.
So too the role reversal. HSBC bought its initial 10% stake in Ping An in 2002 as part of a deal that included providing personal finance and insurance expertise to the Chinese firm. A couple of years after that, founder Ma praised HSBC’s “respect for the independence of Ping An’s management style, approach and corporate culture.” HSBC eventually sold the holding in 2012 after judging that Ping An’s growing investments in banking presented a potential conflict, according to one person familiar with the matter.
In an introduction to Ping An’s 2020 company history, Tucker describes Ma as a business partner and close friend. Ping An’s rise came from its ability to emulate the systems of insurers like Prudential Plc and AIA Group Ltd., both of which Tucker ran. Today Ping An is seen as having eclipsed many of its rivals, leading Western financiers to beat a path to its headquarters to learn more about its methods, one person said.
What paved the way for HSBC’s breakup debate?
Tucker’s appointment back in 2017 was the catalyst for Ping An to build its shareholding in HSBC. As well as the bank’s reliable dividend, Ma wagered that Tucker could work the same corporate magic on the bank as he had on the insurance companies.
Instead, the bank’s share price has fallen about 30% since Tucker took over as chairman. More crucially for an income-hungry investor, those dividend payments abruptly stopped during the pandemic after the Bank of England imposed a de facto ban on payouts. They were brought back last year but at a much lower level.
Last month’s first-quarter results didn’t help as HSBC announced a drop in its core capital that surprised the market. Chief Financial Officer Ewen Stevenson described the fall as a “timing mismatch on capital” and said that the bank was on the right path to boost its shares.
“We’re not closed off to hearing alternative views, but we do think that executing the strategy will deliver a lot of shareholder value over the next 12 to 18 months,” he said.
The announcement in early 2020 of the bank’s Asia pivot was meant to assuage concerns the bank had traveled too far from its roots as the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. As part of this plan, the company said it would be relocating the heads of most of its major divisions from London to Hong Kong, meaning that the day-to-day management of the bank effectively moved from Europe to Asia.
Ping An does not appear to have been convinced by the reset. In particular, the insurer was unimpressed with some of those executives parachuted into Hong Kong, pointing out that it would have preferred to see the bank developing and promoting staff with extensive experience of the region rather than Westerners with backgrounds in other parts of the world.
Tucker’s old employer Prudential also provided the insurer with something of a playbook. Under pressure from its own activist, the insurer split its Asian unit from its U.K. operations in 2019, although it kept its listing in London.
Hong Kong, HSBC walk the political tightrope
The debate comes with Hong Kong’s own future in flux. The former British colony saw widespread anti-government protests after a Beijing-imposed introduction of a national security law in 2020. Strict lockdowns and quarantines during the pandemic made business travel almost impossible.
Ping An has indicated to HSBC it would see the creation of a standalone Asian business headquartered in Hong Kong as a major boost to the struggling Chinese city.
Former executives detect the hand of China in some of this. While Ping An is a private company, Ma has enjoyed good relations with senior officials in Beijing and those with knowledge of the inner workings of both companies think it unlikely it would be launching a campaign against the bank without at least taking some soundings.
Still, HSBC has experience in seeing off investors seeking change. In 2007, activist firm Knight Vinke Asset Management unsuccessfully pushed to spin off the Asia business. And the bank itself has examined relocating its headquarters to Hong Kong before deciding the regulatory hurdles were too onerous.
Ping An’s close ties with HSBC give this latest debate an extra frisson — although Ma has always made it clear he had no interest in being a junior partner.
When visiting HSBC’s London headquarters in the 2000s, he would wonder whether the insurer might ever build a similar tower next door, according to the book detailing Ping An’s corporate history.
There would be an important difference, however. Ping An’s building would be one floor taller.

Cubs scratch RHP Marcus Stroman, put him on IL
The Chicago Cubs have scratched Marcus Stroman for Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, putting the right-hander on the injured list without a designation.
The move likely means Stroman’s absence is connected to a COVID-19-related issue.
Stroman pitched seven sparkling innings in a 2-0 victory at Milwaukee last weekend. He is 1-3 with a 5.13 ERA in his first season in Chicago after finalizing a $71 million, three-year contract on Dec. 1.
Justin Steele replaced Stroman against the Dodgers, making his first appearance since April 30. Steele was slated to pitch Monday night at San Diego, but Kyle Hendricks will make that start against the Padres instead.
The Cubs also optioned struggling first baseman Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa and promoted right-hander Adrian Sampson from the minors. Sampson went 1-2 with a 2.80 ERA in 10 appearances with Chicago last year, including five starts.
The 29-year-old Schwindel was a bright spot for the Cubs last year, batting .342 with 13 homers and 40 RBIs in 56 games after he was claimed off waivers from Oakland. But he has struggled of late, hitting .186 (13 for 70) over his last 19 games.
“Somebody that we believe in, but need him to kind of get going a little bit,” manager David Ross said. “Get down there, work on some things, take a little bit of the pressure off, and let him continue to get back to what we expect him to be and what he expects himself to be.”

Human skeletal remains found at a Las Vegas lake one week after a body was found in a barrel
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5/Gray News) - The National Park Service reported human skeletal remains were discovered in a lake in Las Vegas, just a week after human remains were found in a barrel at the same lake.
The skeletal remains were found in Lake Mead National Recreational Area Saturday afternoon, FOX5 reported.
The park service said rangers received a witness report of the remains at Callville Bay around 2 p.m.
Park rangers responded to the call and set a perimeter to recover the remains.
The Clark County medical examiner has been contacted to determine the cause of death.
The discovery of these remains comes almost exactly one week from when a body was found in a barrel at Lake Mead on Sunday afternoon. That discovery was near Hemenway Harbor boat launch. The body may date back to the 1980′s.

Fans have patiently waited two weeks for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 to explain Kinji Hakari’s Domain Expansion. However, the answer that Akutami provided is almost more complicated than the question itself.
Readers have reached an impasse trying to decipher Hakari’s Domain, and even then, the interpretations are widely varied.
On the other hand, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 shows the end of Hakari and Charles’s fight. However, the Tokyo No. 2 Colony arc is likely to continue, as Panda and Kashimo are yet to appear. There has been no mention of how Hakari and Charles ended up fighting.
Note: This article contains the writer’s interpretation of Hakari’s DE.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 gives complicated explanation of Hakari’s domain as his fight with Charles ends
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 begins with a slideshow of how the information is presented to Charles’ brain. Hakari’s Domain is based on a pachinko machine. Like in a pachinko machine, getting three of the same symbol means hitting the jackpot.
Hitting the jackpot inside the domain will immensely increase Hakari’s power, but it is not the definite end of the opponent.
Idle Death Gamble: CR Private Pure Love Train
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 labels this particular setting as “Idle Death Gamble: CR Private Pure Love Train, Version 1/239.” It is unclear if “CR: Private Pure Love Train” is the only setting of Hakari’s Domain, but Hakari likely has several settings, each with its characters and Riichi scenarios.
CR Private Pure Love Train has seven characters, with each presented in the form of a character card. A random card appears after a Riichi is announced, indicating the upcoming Riichi Scenario and whether a chance booster will be employed.
A spin in this domain is represented by an attack by Hakari in the form of using a visual effect: a reserve ball or a door. After using one or more spins, Hakari advances to a Riichi scenario.
A Riichi (Reach) is a term in Mahjong, similar to the call of “Uno” in the game Uno. It means the penultimate move before a win. Not every spin will result in a Riichi scenario.
Riichi scenarios
Each Riichi scenario in this domain can lead to a jackpot, a chance of Increased Probability of Jackpot in the next spin, or Faster Spins.
Faster Spins decrease the number of remaining spins. The probability of hitting a Jackpot on a spin is 1/239. There is a 75% chance of getting Increased Probability in every Riichi scenario, but Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 never mentions by what percentage the probability increases.
There are four Riichi scenarios in “Cr: Private Pure Love Train”: 1) Transit Card Riichi, 2) Seat Struggle Riichi, 3) Potty Emergency Riichi, and 4) Friday Night Final Train Riichi. The first has a low chance of getting a jackpot, the next two have a medium probability, and the last one has an 80% chance of getting a jackpot.
Hakari chooses the visual effect, i.e., whether it will be a door or a ball, but the success rate of that spin is up to chance. The success rate is indicated by the color of the attack. A green-colored attack has a chance of not being a Riichi.
If it is, it is likely the Transit Card Riichi scenario, which has a meager chance of ending up in a jackpot. A red attack has a medium chance and will get one of the first three scenarios. A golden attack is the only one that will get the Final Train Riichi with an 80% chance of hitting the jackpot.
If Hakari gets three consecutive visual effects of the same color, the chances of getting a jackpot are slightly increased with each successive turn. Still, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 does not mention how much.
A fourth consecutive effect will guarantee a jackpot, as will a rainbow-colored indicator.
First spin
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 starts with the first spin, which begins at a starting point, a regular station. The first attack Hakari uses is a green ball and gets no Riichi scenario.
The second is a red door that gets a Riichi and transports Charles and Hakari to the setting of the Transit Card Scenario. The Riichi Scenario plays like a VR effect, with Charles and Hakari continuing to fight around the scene. Charles realizes that:
A) Each Riichi has a fulfilled condition and will give Hakari a jackpot. In this particular scene, Yuki, the protagonist of Pure Love Train, will have to catch a train. Hakari gets a jackpot if Yuki catches the train. If Yuki fails, they return to the starting point.
B) Charles cannot interfere with the scenario, nor can he look into the future to see the result of the Riichi. He has to fend off Hakari while the scenario plays out and then wait for the result.
C) They will continue to play until either Hakari hits the jackpot or Charles defeats him. Hakari hitting the jackpot will mean that Charles loses.
Friday Night Final Train
Yuki fails to get in, and the setting returns to the starting point. Charles gets angry that Hakari is using a famous manga for his Domain. They continue to fight, and Hakari continues to spin until a golden door appears.
They arrive at the Final Train Riichi, where the jackpot depends on Yume missing the train to spend some more time with Yuki.
It appears that Yume gets on the train, and Charles gloats that Hakari might have won if this was a game of skill instead of luck. But it is revealed that Yume missed the train, and Hakari uses the jackpot to break Charles’s G War-Stuff.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 ends as Hakari retorts that he uses skill to grab hold of his luck.
Final thoughts
According to Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183, Hakari has never used more than 30 tries to defeat an opponent, indicating that he either did not hit a jackpot until the 30th try or that he needed more than one jackpot to defeat an enemy. The Boll and Door technique that Hakari uses is similar to the move he used against Yuuji, which might be linked to his Cursed Technique.
In all likelihood, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 is the end of Hakari and Charles’s fight, making this segment introduce Hakari’s prowess. He is clearly stronger than most Culling Game players, likely bested only by Yuta Okkotsu.
However, the Tokyo No.2 Colony arc seems far from over and will likely move to Panda or Kashimo next. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/anime/jujutsu-kaisen-chapter-183-hakari-s-domain-expansion-fully-explained-charles-defeated | 2022-05-08T23:15:09Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/anime/jujutsu-kaisen-chapter-183-hakari-s-domain-expansion-fully-explained-charles-defeated | true | 1 |

Alabama outlaws gender-affirming medicines for trans kids
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — It’s now a crime in Alabama to administer or prescribe gender-affirming puberty blockers and hormones to transgender people under age 19. The new law took effect Sunday.
A federal judge continues to consider a request to block the state from enforcing the law.
U.S. District Judge Liles Burke had cautioned attorneys Friday that he might not have a decision on a request for a preliminary injunction by the law’s May 8 effective date.
The Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act makes it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to prescribe or administer puberty blockers and hormones to transgender people under age 19 to help affirm their new gender identity.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Max Verstappen used an aggressive early pass on Formula One championship leader Charles Leclerc then controlled the inaugural Miami Grand Prix for his third victory of the season.
The reigning world champion started third Sunday, but Red Bull quickly got the best of Ferrari for a second consecutive race. Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. had locked out the front row in qualifying for Ferrari, but Verstappen pounced at the start to get ahead of Sainz.
He then set his sights on Leclerc and used a strong outside pass on the ninth lap to claim the lead. Verstappen went unchallenged until a late crash between Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly brought out the safety car and setup a 10-lap sprint to the finish on the 19-turn, 3.36-mile circuit (5.41 kilometers) built around Hard Rock Stadium.
Leclerc got a few looks inside but Verstappen didn't relent and the Dutchman won by 3.7 seconds. He also won two weeks ago at Imola as Red Bull capitalized on a poor Ferrari weekend on Italian home soil with a 1-2 finish for Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
In Miami, Ferrari settled for second and third for Leclerc and Sainz.
Perez was fourth for Red Bull and Mercedes showed much improvement with a fifth and sixth place finish for George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. It's the fourth time in five races that first-year Mercedes driver Russell has beaten the seven-time champion.
The race itself wasn't the thriller the 85,000 in attendance Sunday breathlessly expected when they snagged one of the hottest tickets in sports. Promoters never had a general ticket sale because of crushing early demand and the campus surrounding Hard Rock Stadium was the place to party over the last three days.
Whether it was at the man-made beach club where musical acts have entertained since Friday or the “marina” that docked 10 boats on plywood covered in a decal to resemble rippling water, F1 got the sun, sand and Miami backdrop it wanted when it agreed to this 10-year deal.
Come race day, the celebrities were out in full force. Dwyane Wade took selfies on the starting grid and Paris Hilton danced in front of the McLaren garage; Tom Brady, David Beckham and Michael Jordan posed for a pre-race picture with Lewis Hamilton, who hosted former first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday at the track. Serena Williams ducked into Mercedes' hospitality and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny arrived at the venue with Perez and spent most of pre-race at Red Bull with the Mexican driver.
The Miami event gives the U.S. two F1 races in one season for the first time since 1984. F1 will add Las Vegas as a third American race in 2023.

First of two parts
In early 2015, members of the City of Industry’s nobility met in a vacant office building to plan a coup.
The owner of the local trash company — a former longtime mayor and kingmaker in town who had fallen from favor at City Hall — and a powerfully connected former state senator brought together a municipal government attorney and three handpicked City Council candidates to plot their moves for an upcoming election and beyond, according to interviews and court testimony.
At the same time, across more than a dozen clandestine meetings, the group drafted a rough framework in which the tiny city — already a regional economic power due to its embrace of all manner of commerce — would position itself as a major player in the state’s goal to transition solely to renewable energy.
To accomplish this lofty goal, the future council members put their faith in a previously rejected plan from Frank Hill, a former legislator-turned-convicted-felon, and William Barkett, a developer with $50 million in debts and no experience in the renewable energy industry to his name. The two men had long-gestating ambitions to turn an undeveloped ranch land retreat purchased by the city decades earlier into a massive solar array that would allow Industry to offload excess power at a premium.
They just needed a new administration willing to foot the bill.
Part Two: Why the City of Industry’s $20 million solar project collapsed like a house of cards
Hill and Barkett had gained some traction when David Perez, the waste collection magnate who organized the clandestine meetings years later, was still the city’s mayor. But after Perez stepped down in 2012, City Manager Kevin Radecki and City Attorney Michele Vadon, the two administrators in the coup’s cross hairs, shut the idea down after running a background check on Barkett and determining the promised returns were unrealistic.
A successful coup
In June 2015, Hill and Barkett’s proposal for a solar farm on the so-called Tres Hermanos Ranch would get a second chance. The council slate that Hill and Perez brought together — Mark Radecki, Cory Moss and Newell Ruggles — swept a bitter election, one of the only six contested races since Industry’s incorporation in 1954.
Industry was under significant pressure from the county and the state to institute reforms in light of a report that detailed $326 million in payments to the Perez family’s businesses over a two-decade period and a state controller’s audit that found major deficiencies in the way the city awarded public contracts.
The new council pledged to make sweeping changes — and in many cases did — though the solar project was seemingly exempted from such scrutiny. The project was voted on in secret, never put out to bid and resulted in $20 million flowing with little oversight to an unqualified developer with a troubled history.
Interviews, testimony and court records over the last seven years indicate Hill, in particular, wielded considerable influence in the early days following the 2015 election, though he had no official title and wasn’t paid by the city.
Yet, the former state senator negotiated severances, interviewed new employees and acted as an unofficial lobbyist for the city, intercepting concerned officials from the neighboring cities and the state when questions arose about Industry’s secretive plans for the ranch land known as Tres Hermanos. The city entered into a lease agreement with San Gabriel Valley Water and Power, a company that Hill partially owned, to develop the solar project within the first year.
Though the council members maintain they always acted independently, those preelection discussions in the defunct offices of Valley Vista Services nevertheless sold the newly elected officials on Industry’s green future and cemented Hill as a trusted adviser.
‘He was running the city’
“He kind of took over everything,” Councilman Ruggles said in a 2019 interview. “He was running the city behind the scenes.”
Moss alleged Hill frequently met with council members in pairs, or alone in those early years. She suspects Hill used the fledgling council’s naivety to intentionally filter the information presented to them before their votes.
“We were given specific and limited information on certain issues, and, in retrospect, I feel that it was because Frank Hill wanted to control the outcome of those decisions,” Moss said. “As a new council member, I didn’t really understand what questions to ask, or who to go to for more information.”
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Hill, Barkett, former City Manager Paul Philips and attorney Anthony Bouza in 2021 under a similar premise. Investigators allege the men took part in an uncharged “conspiracy” to defraud the city of up to $20 million in taxpayer funds.
Hill is charged with two counts of conflict of interest and one count of misuse of public funds. All four have pleaded not guilty. Hill, Barkett, and Bouza are scheduled to appear in court May 10. A preliminary hearing for Philips is underway.
A key component in the criminal case is the allegation that the solar project was rigged in the developer’s favor from the start. The new administration, with Hill guiding them, cleaned house and began to replace key positions with individuals recommended by Hill.
Vadon and Kevin Radecki, the brother of Mark, were the first to go in a bloodletting that removed nearly every person who had opposed Perez and the earlier renditions of the solar proposal, including the longtime city engineer and an energy consultant whose continued warnings about the project’s feasibility were ultimately ignored. Hill is alleged to have recommended each of their replacements.
The new City Council’s first pick for city manager, Frank Tripepi, allegedly turned down the offer because of Hill, according to Ruggles’ interview with the D.A.’s investigators.
“The reason he didn’t take the job is because Frank Hill wanted to call all the shots in the city and Frank (Tripepi) didn’t want to do that,” Ruggles said in a recording of the interview played in court.
The prior City Council had tried to prevent a mass firing by passing an ordinance that prevented the removal of the city manager, city attorney, city clerk and city treasurer within 180 days of an election. But the coup had successfully passed a referendum — drafted by the municipal attorney, Jamie Casso, who would eventually replace Vadon — that removed the protection from the city attorney’s position.
Casso, who is still Industry’s city attorney, was later removed as the general counsel for Industry’s public utility and replaced with Bouza, an attorney owed $1.5 million by Barkett. Hill delivered the news, according to Casso’s testimony in the criminal case.
“Jamie, you know we love you,” Hill allegedly told Casso. “But another attorney is going to come in and handle the work on the solar project.”
Kevin Radecki resigned quietly in 2015 with a severance package that kept him on the payroll for the next year. He attributed his ouster to retaliation for ending a lucrative maintenance contract with one of Perez’s companies and for his attempts to publicly challenge the family’s invoices to the city.
Kevin Radecki never questioned why Hill handled the severance negotiations, according to a March 2018 deposition from Kevin Radecki.
“Because I knew how it worked,” he said.
In the testimony, Radecki referred to Hill as “Dave Perez’s right-hand man” and alleged the two men ran the city “as much as they could possibly do that.”
Friendship dates back decades
Hill was hardly a stranger in Industry, but it was his friendship with Perez that ingratiated him to the new City Council. Though it has nearly a billion dollars in the bank, Industry is, at its heart, a small town, and Perez was practically royalty. Though he only served as mayor from 2001 to 2012, city staff and other elected officials still refer to him as “Mayor Dave.”
Depending on who you ask, Perez was either a puppet master, pulling the strings of the city’s leadership for decades, or simply a well-respected businessman and politician committed to seeing Industry — and his companies symbiotically tied to it — flourish. Perez was investigated by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on multiple occasions for potential conflicts of interest and cleared each time, but allegations around his power in Industry persisted until his death in 2020.
The following year, city officials renamed the street where City Hall is located to “Mayor Dave Way.”
Hill and Perez’s friendship dated back to the 1980s, when Hill was a legislator for the area. In 1991, Hill authored a law that exempted Industry from state affordable housing requirements in exchange for the city paying into a county-run fund that would build such housing elsewhere. The law kept Industry’s housing stock low and prevented an influx of new voters.
Hill was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison in 1994 for taking a bribe from an undercover FBI agent posing as the representative of a fake shrimping company. The conviction, which some perceived as overzealous prosecution, did little to hinder his political connections in Los Angeles County.
Hill found work as a consultant in Industry after his release. Perez later even personally arranged for Hill to receive a separate consulting gig with the Industry Manufacturers’ Council, the city’s de facto chamber of commerce, that paid Hill more than its own executive director, according to public records and interviews.
Kevin Radecki ended Hill’s consulting work with Industry after Perez left office in 2012. Perez later hired Hill as a consultant for his companies, according to court testimony.
Hill and Perez reportedly met for drinks every Monday, according to testimony by Curtis Fresch, who was placed in charge of Industry’s redevelopment properties under the Perez-backed administration and later served as interim public utilities director as the solar project picked up steam.
“That’s when they were trying to figure out who was going to be on the council next,” Fresch said of the 2014 meetings he attended.
Industry, under the new council in 2015, almost immediately backed away from a series of lawsuits brought forward by Vadon that challenged the Perez family’s business ties to the city. The council also publicly denigrated a report alleging those same businesses had profited for two decades off the family’s political influence. The new council sued Vadon’s firm, alleging she had released the information in an attempt to influence the election.
How Hill gained power
Following the election, Hill became a gatekeeper for Industry’s new council. When Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, the two cities with jurisdiction over the Tres Hermanos Ranch, began to question what Industry planned for the land, their city managers received calls from Hill before anyone else.
When former state Sen. Ed Hernandez threatened to dismantle the city through legislation if its leaders didn’t shape up, Hill reached out to him first to try to find a compromise. The city and Hernandez later agreed to the hiring of former Attorney General William Lockyer to monitor the city’s reforms.
“Frank Hill consistently was a peacemaker among the council members and community folks,” Lockyer explained in a 2019 interview, adding that Hill “smoothed over ruffled feathers.”
Tony Rackauckas, the former Orange County district attorney serving as Hill’s attorney in the criminal case, alleges that Hill was brought in by Perez prior to the election to advise the group on possible reforms and alleges, like Lockyer, that Hill’s eventual ouster related to housing. Rackauckas acknowledges that Hill served as an adviser to the City Council, while owning a stake in the solar project’s development company.
“I can tell you that Frank — he was advising Mayor Dave for the benefit of the city, and he always worked toward what he believed was to the benefit of the city,” Rackauckas said. “If he could make some money on it, great. He never hid from anybody that he intended to share in the profits.”
Hill did not receive or manage any of the $20 million paid out by the city to the developer, San Gabriel Valley Water and Power, and was not aware of the discrepancies in billings that now form the backbone of the criminal case, Rackauckas argued.
A company Hill set up, Mojave Green Power LLC, owned a 50% stake in San Gabriel Valley Water and Power, the development company managed by Barkett. At the same time, he made nearly $700,000 as a consultant to the Cordoba Corp., a company hired by Industry to serve as its engineering department and as the project manager on the Tres Hermanos proposal.
Hill and Cordoba’s relationship predated the 2015 election, according to Hill. Council members now allege they did not know Hill worked at Cordoba or that he owned part of SGVWP.
Hill believed his actions were legal based on his interpretation of law at the time. California’s conflict-of-interest law initially applied to public “officers” and “employees” until a California Supreme Court decision in 2017 interpreted the statute more broadly to include other roles, such as consultants and advisers, Rackauckas said.

When that happened, the house of cards upon which the project was built began to collapse.

Airline operators under the umbrella of Airline Operators of Nigeria Sunday made a volte-face as they unanimously agreed to suspend the withdrawal of services from today.
The airlines had on Friday night issued a threat to down tools over the astronomical rise in the price of Jet A1 otherwise known as aviation fuel.
The airlines that threatened to shut operations are Dana, Azman, Arik, Air Peace, Dana Air, United Nigeria Airline, Overland Airways and Aero Contractor.
According to them, while aviation fuel costs about 40 per cent of an airline’s operating cost globally, the present hike has shut up Nigeria’s operating cost to about 95 per cent.
In a press statement on Friday made available to journalists the President of AON, Abdulmunaf Yunusa Sarina, said they could not absorb the hike in sudden cost anymore.
“Over time, aviation fuel price (JetA1) has risen from N190 per litre to N700 currently. No airline in the world can absorb this kind of sudden shock from such an astronomical rise over a short period. While aviation fuel worldwide is said to cost about 40% of an airline’s operating cost globally, the present hike has shut up Nigeria’s operating cost to about 95%.”
According to AON, the cost of a seat on a plane is N120,000 due to the rising cost of Jet A1 in the country.
However, indications that the threat by the carriers to cripple the aviation sector would not go on as planned as the carriers, one after the other made a U-turn by announcing their withdrawal from the much publicized strike action.
Cracks, however, emerged with AON members when Arik, Overland Airways, Aero Contractors, Ibom Air and Dana declined to withdraw their services.
Sensing that five out of the nine carriers had declined to join Monday’s strike action, the AON had no option but to call off the strike, hinging its decision on a call from the Federal Government to suspend the: “Action in good faith”.
In a statement jointly signed by all the operators, the AON said: “The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) wishes to inform the general public that further to numerous calls from the highest echelons in government with promises to urgently intervene in the crises being faced by airlines due to the astronomic and continuously rising cost of JetA1, that the AON has acceded to requests to withdraw the action for the time being while we allow for a fresh round of dialogue with the government in the hope of reaching an amicable solution.
“We have also reached this decision with the highest consideration for our esteemed customers who have been faced with uncertainty over the last few days and to enable them to have access to travel to their various destinations for the time being during the period of discussions with relevant authorities.
“In view of the above and in the interest of national economy and security considerations, AON hereby wishes to notify the general public that the earlier announced shutdown of operations on May 9, 2022, is hereby suspended in good fate pending the outcome of hopefully fruitful engagement with the government.” | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/airlines-in-volte-face-call-off-strike/ | 2022-05-08T23:39:39Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/airlines-in-volte-face-call-off-strike/ | true | 1 |

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – One Jackson City Councilman is calling on local law enforcement to come together in an effort to get the city’s crime crisis under control.
Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes is asking agencies like Capitol police, Jackson police and the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department to create a task force to investigate local gangs and work to get rid of them.
This comes a week after the deadly shooting at the Mississippi Mudbug Festival, an incident that Stokes is calling “unacceptable.”
“It’s too many young people that are involved in those situations like you saw at the Fairgrounds. Where did they get those weapons from? How is a 14 or 15-year-old carrying those kind of assault weapons? If we have gang activity, let us know. Let us prepare. I think forming a task force with law enforcement personnel would be a step in the right direction to address hang problems, if they exist in Jackson. If they’re saying it’s not a gang problem, whatever the hell this is, we need to stop it,” said Stokes.
The councilman will be hosting a town hall at Cornerstone Baptist Church on Wednesday, May 11 to discuss gangs and gang violence. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/crime-crisis-focused-on-solutions/stokes-wants-multi-agency-gang-task-force/ | 2022-05-08T23:43:46Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/crime-crisis-focused-on-solutions/stokes-wants-multi-agency-gang-task-force/ | false | 1 |

Heartbreaking day for Kannapolis-based Haas F1 on home turf
Late collision ends Schumacher bid for first points finish
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (WBTV) - On the verge of getting his first ever points in Formula One, Kannapolis-based Haas F1 Team driver Mick Schumacher experienced heartbreak when a collision with Sebastian Vettel relegated Schumacher to a p15 in Miami. Haas driver Kevin Magnussen finished p16.
Schumacher and Magnussen started 15th and 16th respectively on the Pirelli P Zero Yellow medium tires and both made gains through the early stages, profiting from a strong first lap, before passing several rivals. Magnussen moved ahead of Schumacher in a tactical swap and came into the pits on lap 13 of 57, switching to White hard tires, with Schumacher following suit a lap later.
“Clearly not the day we wanted – especially this being one of our home events,” said Team Principal Guenther Steiner. “The pace in the car was there and it was demonstrated by both drivers, but once again we got unlucky with some events on track. It’s disappointing to look like you were going to come away with points and then not – Mick’s incident with Sebastian took care of that unfortunately. We then had to retire Kevin’s car on the second to last lap with damage he’d sustained earlier while he was fighting to get back into the top 10. We learn lessons in races like this and we have to apply those lessons moving forward to better ourselves.”
Schumacher passed Magnussen as they battled cleanly and the pair made gains to hold ninth and 10th, when a collision between Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly brought out the Safety Car. Schumacher preserved ninth on track while Magnussen came in for a fresh set of mediums, emerging 13th. Unfortunately both drivers found themselves involved in collisions with Aston Martin drivers shortly after the restart. Schumacher collided with Sebastian Vettel into turn 1 while Magnussen clashed with Lance Stroll at turn 2. Schumacher classified in 15th position following an unscheduled pit stop to repair a broken front wing while Magnussen pulled into the pits on the final lap due to damage and was officially classified 16th.
“The car was really good so I’m gutted that we didn’t get to stay in position – I think it was our best race so far this year. We’re all racers, we’re all trying, and it was always going to be tough to keep new tires behind us and it was very unfortunate to end the race in that way. We were on the road to getting points, but we’ll have to wait some more,” Schumacher said.
“It was the hardest race I’ve ever done, it was unbelievably hot. I had to do that last stint with damage to the front wing but even with that damage we got ourselves into a position to fight for P10. We were catching Alonso and he had a time penalty, but it is what it is – we tried everything we could and didn’t get points, onto the next one,” said Magnussen.
Haas F1 Team holds eighth place in the constructors’ championship with 15 points.
Haas F1 Team will return to action at the Spanish Grand Prix, to be held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, from May 20 to 22.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won the race, and was joined on the podium by Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc, p2, and Carlos Sainz, p3.

Businesswoman and celebrity chef Nadia Lim has still not received an apology from the chief executive who called her "a little bit of Eurasian fluff".
Simon Henry, the chief executive of chemical transport company DGL, has been heavily criticised after making derogatory remarks about the My Food Bag co-founder and claiming she had used her "sensuality" to sell shares in the company.
On Friday, the board of DGL said that Henry had apologised to Lim. They later clarified that a written apology had been couriered to her.
"He's going to email it to her and hopefully speak to her as well. We had assumed it had been emailed to her, turns out it had been couriered to her."

Advertise with NZME.But this morning a spokeswoman for Lim said she had still not received any correspondence from Henry - whether written, emailed or via phone - and neither had My Food Bag.
Henry's comments came amid a National Business Review interview for its annual Rich List feature.
"I can tell you, and you can quote me," he told NBR, "when you've got Nadia Lim, when you've got a little bit of Eurasian fluff in the middle of your prospectus with a blouse unbuttoned showing some cleavage, and that's what it takes to sell your scrip, then you know you're in trouble."
Backlash was swift. Henry's comments were quickly decried as racist and sexist, and more than $50 million was wiped off the company's value in one day's trading last week.
Lim also spoke up, saying she was concerned about how other women, and particularly women of colour, would be hurt by Henry's comments.
Following a week of media scrutiny Henry sent a memo to DGL staff on Friday saying he had written to Lim to apologise.
"You may be aware that I have recently been heavily criticised about some disparaging remarks I recently made about Nadia Lim, an NZ-based chef," he wrote.
"The language I used to describe her is unacceptable. I have written to her today to formally apologise."

Advertise with NZME.DGL is represented by Australian PR company Sefiani Communications. Sefiani spokesman Nicholas Owens told the Herald this morning Henry had tried to call Lim on a mobile number he had got from a friend, whose name would not be disclosed.
DGL had nothing further to add at this point beyond its previous comments, Owens said.
Last week the DGL board released a statement saying it had conveyed its "deep disappointment" to Henry following the "disparaging remarks about a female entrepreneur and prominent New Zealand identity, Nadia Lim".
The board said it had made clear to Henry the standards expected of him as a chief executive and that his comments had no place in DGL or the wider community.
"The board will be taking steps to ensure there is no repeat of this incident," it said.
Lim previously said she initially did not want to get dragged into commenting but decided to speak up on behalf of others who would be affected by Henry's derogatory remarks.

Advertise with NZME."The biggest thing I've encountered, and I haven't really spoken out much about it, is with my dad," Lim said.
"My mum is New Zealand European and my dad was Chinese Malaysian. He used to get a lot of flak, all the time. It wasn't directed at me, but I was a child and I observed it of course. And he, the same as me, would just brush it off and pretend it didn't get to him. But I could see the hurt in his eyes. It did. It always did."
But Lim says she wasn't looking for a personal apology from Henry by speaking out.
"What would make me happy is if he really does internalise it, and think deeply about it, from other people's perspectives." | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/nadia-lim-eurasian-fluff-controversy-she-still-hasnt-received-apology-over-simon-henrys-comments/7KCVAMCA6DFVEKGJUPCFIU4RCU/?c_id=3&objectid=12522948&ref=rss | 2022-05-09T00:24:33Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/nadia-lim-eurasian-fluff-controversy-she-still-hasnt-received-apology-over-simon-henrys-comments/7KCVAMCA6DFVEKGJUPCFIU4RCU/?c_id=3&objectid=12522948&ref=rss | false | 3 |

(The Hill) – Former President Trump complained about America’s “ugly” Navy ships while in office and said Russia’s looked better, former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper reportedly wrote in his new book.
In Esper’s new book, “A Sacred Oath,” which is set to be released on Tuesday, he said that Trump had a certain type of aesthetic when it came to warships, often complaining that Russian and Italian naval ships were more attractive than America’s.
“On multiple occasions, the president complained that the U.S. Navy ships ‘look ugly,’ while the Russian and Italian ships, for example, ‘look nicer, sleeker, like a real ship.’ Maybe so, but as I told the president in defense of the Navy, ‘Our ships are built to fight and win, not win beauty contests; we prize function over form,” Esper wrote in his book, adding, “That didn’t satisfy him.”
Esper, who was fired in November 2020 after having disputes with Trump over police brutality and the response to protests over racial inequality in the U.S., also wrote in his book that the former president became obsessed with retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a witness in Trump’s first impeachment trial.
“The president asked me a couple of times about Vindman: ‘When will the Army kick him out?’ he would say,” Esper wrote. “It was surprising how animated one Army lieutenant colonel was able to make the leader of the free world. I never understood it.”
In other excerpts from his book, Esper wrote that Trump initially proposed launching missiles into Mexico to destroy drug labs ran by local cartels in the region.
Esper is the latest of many Trump-era officials who have published books recounting their time with the former president. Former Attorney General William Barr said in his own memoir that Trump “lost his grip” after the 2020 presidential election. | https://www.wkrg.com/national/trump-complained-us-navy-ships-look-ugly-esper/ | 2022-05-09T00:31:13Z | https://www.wkrg.com/national/trump-complained-us-navy-ships-look-ugly-esper/ | false | 24 |

MUSKOGEE — For nearly 100 years, Muskogee’s Veterans Administration hospital has been an anchor of the community, holding down the city’s west flank from Honor Heights as dependably as the Arkansas River marks the east.
Not anymore.
In March, a VA reorganization study recommended closing the Jack C. Montgomery Medical Center when the new VA hospital planned for downtown Tulsa opens in a few years. Muskogee would get a new VA clinic instead.
The recommendation caught local leaders and congressional members by surprised. They’d been assured the center would remain open as an in-patient mental health treatment facility.
Muskogee is not giving up without a fight.
“We are here today because we are as mad as hell at Washington turning its back on rural Oklahoma,” Muskogee Mayor Marlon Coleman told a rally on the Depot Green south of downtown Saturday afternoon. “We were told the VA would not close Jack C. Montgomery. At the very least, we were told, we would have first-class mental health care.”
People are also reading…
Saturday’s rally was organized at the instigation of Don Nichols, a retired VA employee — though not with the hospital — who spearheaded a petition drive that’s gathered 11,500 signatures.
Nichols said Coleman told him the mayor thought they’d need at least 10,000 to get the VA’s attention. Nichols said he believes the chances of keeping the hospital open are “Good — very much so.”
Coleman puts the odds at “50-50.”
“The VA secretary (Denis McDonough) said if hospitals are serving underserved populations, they will not be closed,” Nichols said. He figures Muskogee fits that description on several fronts. Many of its patients are American Indian and/or African American, rural and low income.
By coincidence — or perhaps not — two former congressional staffers involved in the negotiations leading to the creation of the Tulsa VA hospital were at Saturday’s rally campaigning. Both said the decision to close the Muskogee facility surprised them.
“The VA promised it would not be closed,” said Mike Stopp, former chief of staff to 2nd District Congressman Markwayne Mullin. “We asked them multiple times. They said that wasn’t going to be an issue.”
Stopp, now managing the campaign of 2nd District candidate Wes Nofire, is an Army veteran and U.S. Military Academy grad who says he’s been going to the Muskogee VA for 13 years.
“Six of my (West Point) classmates have died by suicide, including one just last month,” Stopp said. “We’re still struggling with a need.”
Luke Holland was U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe’s chief of staff before resigning earlier this year to enter the 14-way GOP primary to succeed his former boss.
“This is a total reversal of what was talked about,” Holland said.
Several veterans gave testimonials about the importance to them of the Muskogee hospital. Some predicted veterans from southeastern Oklahoma would not travel to Tulsa for medical care.
Coleman said the threat of losing the hospital is not just about Muskogee.
“This could be a flagship issue for the assault on rural America,” he said.
Earlier, addressing the crowd, Coleman said urban dwellers “couldn’t enjoy their skyscrapers and penthouses if it wasn’t for the henhouses in rural Oklahoma.”

Jacob Rees-Mogg has warned that the Government simply cannot spend its way out of the "difficult" future ahead as inflation continues to rise. The Brexit Opportunities Minister believes that an increase in public spending to mitigate the impacts of the rising cost of living risked adding to inflation and, therefore, pushing prices even higher.
With the Bank of England set to forecast that inflation could reach its highest rate in 40 years by October, the squeeze in living standards is set to dominate the political landscape in the coming weeks. The speed at which prices are rising is outstripping increases in wages and benefits, leaving many households feeling the pinch, particularly with soaring energy bills.
Mr Rees-Mogg told Channel 4’s Andrew Neil Show: “I’m not going to pretend to you that this is not difficult for people. It is difficult for people. There are limits to what the Government can do because in an inflation, increasing public expenditure, increasing the deficit would – in and of itself – be inflationary. But it’s quite right that the support that there is has been targeted at the least well-off, as it has been.”
The Government has promised £9 billion of help with energy bills as part of a £22 billion package, which includes raising national insurance thresholds and cutting the universal credit taper rate. The Bank of England’s grim forecasts suggest inflation will hit 10 per cent by the end of the year, up from 7 per cent now, and it has raised interest rates to 1 per cent, the highest since 2009, in an effort to curb the rise in prices.
The Bank predicted that growth will contract in the final three months of 2022 as the cost squeeze sees households rein in spending. Mr Rees-Mogg said: “The Government can change things in the longer and the medium term, it cannot change what is going to happen over the next few weeks and months.”
He acknowledged the inflation forecasts are “really troubling”, but most of the reasons were outside the Government’s control, including constraints on supply chains following the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine’s impact on energy. “The problem with dealing with inflation, for all governments, for any government, is that the solutions are difficult,” the senior minister said.
“If you think back to 2008, the solution was to print money. Now, for some people, that made life easier. The solution in 2020 to Covid-19 was to spend hundreds of billions of pounds, that made life easier for many people.
“Now, the solutions are difficult solutions. They are higher interest rates, which the Bank of England is doing. But they are also control of public expenditure, which is the Government’s part of this.”
Mr Rees-Mogg rejected calls for a windfall tax on energy companies to help pay for measures to mitigate the squeeze on household finances. “Short-term raids on companies are not the answer to an inflationary problem,” he said. “The Government needs to operate within the resources that it has got, that the nation as a whole has.”
The tax burden was “about as high as it’s been in 50 years” as a share of the overall size of the economy. “There’s very little room for extra taxation, we have to live within our means,” he said. Mr Rees-Mogg defended the firms using their windfalls to pay dividends, saying they benefitted pension funds and it was a “fanciful idea that there is tax that can be taken that does not ultimately fall on individuals one way or another”.

Sikh community in Shediac marks religious holiday with celebratory parade
Vaisakhi marks the creation of Sikhism in 1699 and the beginning of harvest season
The Sikh community in Shediac gathered Sunday to celebrate the religious holiday of Vaisakhi.
Vaisakhi marks the creation of Sikhism in 1699 and the beginning of the harvest season.
Prabhjot Singh participated in what he says is the first widely held nagar kirtan in New Brunswick.
The tradition involves a procession of people singing hymns. In this case, they wandered to the site that will house their future temple.
"It's a very religious festival in the Sikh community." he said as he served free handmade food at the group's temporary temple.
"Anybody from any religion, any caste or anywhere in Canada can come here, sit here, eat here.... We are helping each other because we are building a community here," said Singh.
The principle follows that of seva — or selfless service — a concept that was embodied by Sikhism's founding gurus.
The province's Sikh community had been hoping to put on a nagar kirtan since last year, but COVID-19 restrictions prevented it.
That's why it's been a relief for Navdeep Singh to put on the procession.
"I'm very grateful and excited because everyone in our community wanted [to have a] Sikh temple here where we can worship," said Singh.
He said it's good for members of the community to get together for a celebration like this because they have the shared experience of being immigrants missing their homes.
"A lot of people are moving.... The community is growing and there's a need of Sikh temple."
Navneet Kaur moved here from Toronto and said this event is a way to remember her culture and bring a sense of community to the area.
"Having the nagar kirtan held in [the Atlantic provinces] is really a proud moment for me, and I feel like everyone will join and will respect our culture and will know more about it."
Several hundred people from around the Maritimes attended the event.

Raiders announce that team president Dan Ventrelle is no longer with franchise
On Friday afternoon, the Raiders sent out a tweet (and a statement) that team president Dan Ventrelle is no longer with the team. That comes after being promoted to that role less than a year ago.
It’s certainly an odd way to announce the departure of a team president, but there has been a lot of turnover in the organization over the last few months. Just this week, Chiefs Operations and Analytics Officer Jeremy Aguero resigned on Tuesday.
Ventrelle has been with the franchise for nearly two decades before he was named the interim president last summer. Before being the team president, he was the executive vice president and had several other roles within the organization. He took over the team president role after former president Marc Badain resigned last year.
We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available about Ventrelle’s departure. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2594654193093/raiders-announce-that-team-president-dan-ventrelle-is-no-longer-with-franchise | 2022-05-09T01:01:47Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2594654193093/raiders-announce-that-team-president-dan-ventrelle-is-no-longer-with-franchise | false | null |

2022 AT&T Byron Nelson rankings: Top 10 expert picks
1. Scottie Scheffler: The best player in the world is tuning up to play what he describes as his favorite golf course.
2. Justin Thomas: JT has recently alternated top-10 finishes with finishes right around 35th place. He's then due for a top-10 finish this week.
3. Jordan Spieth: Spieth does very well for himself in the Texas events, and he did well here last year, too.

10. Seamus Power: Power played this event well last year as he was beginning a march up the world ranking. | https://thegolfnewsnet.com/ryan_ballengee/2022/05/08/2022-att-byron-nelson-expert-picks-betting-rankings-and-fantasy-golf-tips-126064/ | 2022-05-09T01:04:43Z | https://thegolfnewsnet.com/ryan_ballengee/2022/05/08/2022-att-byron-nelson-expert-picks-betting-rankings-and-fantasy-golf-tips-126064/ | false | 1 |

The Sacramento Kings have agreed to hire Golden State assistant Mike Brown as their head coach.
A person familiar with the decision confirmed on Sunday that Brown will take over the franchise with the longest playoff drought in NBA history. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hadn't announced the hiring.
ESPN first reported that Brown would get the job. Brown previously had two stints as head coach in Cleveland where he guided the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2007 and had one stint as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Brown is expected to remain with the Warriors for the rest of their playoff run before making the short move to Sacramento where he will be the latest former Golden State coach to take over the Kings.
Kings owner Vivek Ranadive took over the franchise in 2013 after being a minority owner with the Warriors and immediately hired Michael Malone off Golden State's staff as his first head coach.
Ranadive then hired former Warriors assistant Luke Walton has head coach in 2019 and promoted former Warriors assistant Alvin Gentry to interim coach after Walton was fired last November.
None of the moves have led to success for the NBA's worst-performing franchise of the past 16 years.
The Kings have failed to make the playoffs in each of those seasons, setting the record for the longest drought in NBA history. They went 30-52 this past season under Walton and Gentry with their .366 winning percentage their worst since the 2017-18 season.
Since moving to Sacramento in 1985, the Kings have had only one stretch of success, making the playoffs in all eight seasons under coach Rick Adelman from 1999-2006. Adelman was fired in 2006 and remains the only coach in the Sacramento era to post a winning record in any season.
Brown comes with a strong pedigree, having worked as an assistant under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio and Steve Kerr in Golden State.
He got his first head coaching job in Cleveland in 2005. He helped LeBron James and the Cavaliers make the Finals in his second season before getting swept by the Spurs. He was fired in 2010 after winning 127 games the previous two years but failing to get back to the Finals.
After a year off, Brown replaced Phil Jackson with the Lakers and didn't have nearly the success he had in Cleveland. The Lakers went 41-25 in his first season and he was fired after starting the next season 1-4.
Brown returned to Cleveland the following season and went 33-49 before getting fired again after one season.
Brown was then hired in July 2016 by the Warriors to take over as lead assistant after Walton left to take over as head coach of the Lakers.
Brown takes over a team that allowed the second most points in the NBA despite getting a lift on that end of the court from rookie Davion Mitchell.
Point guard De’Aaron Fox was in and out of the lineup, missing 23 games with a variety of injuries. Two-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis arrived in a deadline deal by general manager Monte McNair. Sabonis made a big splash in Sacramento before sitting out the final nine games with a knee injury.
Although McNair has brought some order to the front office, he still hasn't been able to build a roster capable of contending for a playoff spot.

There is an excitement among the Crusaders ahead of their clash against the Brumbies in Canberra that goes beyond the usual “one game at a time” platitude.
That’s because Friday night’s match may be one of the most significant for the Crusaders in Australia’s capital since their 2000 Super Rugby title victory, their third consecutive final win achieved on a freezing evening at Bruce Stadium on May 27 of that year which is one of the most important in their storied history.
They had to dig deep that night as the snow fell to achieve their 20-19 victory and cement their legacy as the first team to win a hat-trick of titles thanks in part to Andrew Mehrtens’ penalty with three minutes remaining but mainly due to a defensive steel that was bent and battered but never broke.
Now head coach Scott Robertson started in the No.7 jersey in that match 22 years ago. He was shaped by that experience and those gathered from other Crusaders and All Blacks matches and began his coaching career as a defensive expert.
That defensive commitment is what the Crusaders will go back to after three slip-ups already this season against the Chiefs and Blues in Christchurch and Waratahs in Sydney.
The Crusaders have become lethal on the counter-attack under Robertson but it has been built on the foundation of defence and he believed that’s what eventually broke the Force in Perth at the weekend during the red and blacks’ 53-15 victory, with both Leicester Fainga’anuku and Will Jordan scoring a hat-trick of tries.
Robertson has admitted that the Crusaders have failed to prepare adequately during the weeks of their defeats this season – particularly the poor performance against the Waratahs.
The failures have provided unflattering headlines which the Crusaders may use to fuel their desire – not that they’re likely to need anything extra ahead of a Brumbies match which could dictate whether the Crusaders finish second or third on the table behind the Blues. A second-place finish will guarantee a home quarter-final and semifinal at least should they keep progressing in the finals.
“I just think it’s natural… it’s a good storyline isn’t it?” Robertson said in Perth on Saturday night. “People are waiting, people want that headline and it’s natural, we expect it. We still have to focus and get ourselves right. People [opposition players] are really desperate, and we’ve got to match that with hunger. Each week it gets harder and we have to keep motivating ourselves internally – it’s a great challenge.”
Skipper David Havili said: “We’ve been at the top for a long time. There’s always going to be those doubters but as long as we stay true to what we know we can do and know what our team is capable of, that’s all that matters for us.”
Their latest win wasn't achieved without a few stressful moments. The Crusaders lost Oli Jager, Zach Gallagher, Mitch Drummond, and Dominic Gardiner to Covid before kick-off, with teenaged front rowers George Bell and Seb Calder, and Northland lock Liam Hallam-Eames, all earning their first caps off the bench.
That the Crusaders thrived, particularly in the second half, is testament perhaps to an improved mentality but probably also to the gulf between them and the Force, but the Brumbies have proven with their victories over the Highlanders, Hurricanes and Chiefs that they are contenders this year.
“The Brumbies have set the tone on both sides of the ditch, so I think this game has set us up for a great battle next week,” Havili said. “These are the games you want to be a part of – the big games."
Robertson will welcome back hooker Codie Taylor and the previously suspended lock and captain Scott Barrett, along with wing Sevu Reece.
The Crusaders will be aware of the Brumbies’ maul strength and the importance of halfback and captain Nic White and likely target both.
Above all, the visitors’ defensive effort will set the tone, as it always has under Robertson. The blast from the past, a return to Canberra and past glories, will determine just how good these Crusaders are. | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/05/09/blast-from-the-past-as-crusaders-seek-defensive-steel-in-title-tilt/ | 2022-05-09T01:33:55Z | https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/05/09/blast-from-the-past-as-crusaders-seek-defensive-steel-in-title-tilt/ | true | 1 |
Japan’s real wages shrank in March as inflation rising at its fastest pace in more than three years outstripped steady nominal wage growth, the government said on Monday.
The report adds to concerns that mounting cost pressure on households’ real income will thwart Japan’s post-pandemic recovery scenarios, even as the government lifted all coronavirus curbs by late March in an effort to foster a strong rebound in consumption.
Inflation-adjusted real wages, a key gauge of households’ purchasing power, dropped 0.2% in March from a year earlier, marking the first decline since December, labor ministry data showed.
Prices are rising fast in Japan, propelled by the global commodity rally in the wake of the Ukraine crisis and the yen’s recent fall to two-decade-lows.
Last month, consumer inflation in the Tokyo area rose at the fastest pace in seven years.
The nationwide consumer price index that the ministry uses to calculate real wages, which includes fresh food prices but excludes owners’ equivalent rent, rose 1.5% in March, the fastest gain since October 2018.
That outpaced nominal total cash earnings, which increased 1.2% in March at the same rate in the previous month, the data showed.
Real wages are expected to post larger falls in coming months if the current price inflation keeps up its speed, because, on the other hand, “it’s unlikely for (nominal) wages to spike in a very short period of time”, a labor ministry official said.
Overtime pay, a barometer of business activity strength, rose 2.5% in March from a year earlier.
The gain, while marking the 12th month of increases, shrank from a downwardly revised 4.9% rise in February.
Meanwhile, special payments rose 10.7% in March, which was the biggest advance in five months and much larger than a 0.6% rise logged in March 2021.
“Some firms posted robust earnings at the end of their financial year in March, and their bonuses to employees may have contributed to the positive reading,” said the official.
In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

With the series already in the bag, adrenaline was running high at Husky Ballpark on Sunday afternoon as the Washington baseball team prepared to take one more from No. 8 UCLA.
Freshman Cam Clayton emerged as the hero of the day for the Huskies, procuring a walk-off single that solidified the 4-3 Game 3 victory and series sweep over the eighth-ranked team in the nation.
“We just wanted to keep our foot on the gas,” head coach Lindsay Meggs said. “We’re trying to get better each day, and we’re playing better, and we feel better, so we just want to keep going.”
Redshirt junior right-hander Stefan Raeth, who typically appears as Washington’s go-to closer, ran out of the dugout to get the motor running on the mound as UW’s Sunday afternoon starter.
After struggling in the first inning, in which two runs were handed over to the Bruins by way of two consecutive home runs, Raeth and the rest of the Huskies (21-24, 11-16 Pac-12) were able to keep UCLA at bay over the first six innings.
Junior McKay Barney got things moving for UW with a leadoff single shot down the left field line in the bottom of the first inning, but the next three Washington batters were shut down by UCLA’s Kelly Austin.
Barney’s double, along with two more singles contributed by himself and redshirt sophomore Michael Snyder, made up the entirety of UW’s offense as the Bruins (30-17, 14-10 Pac-12) maintained their 2-0 lead over the course of the next few innings.
Raeth cruised through the fourth inning, putting away the next three UCLA batters that came up to the plate and amassing six total strikeouts. After the Huskies failed to amp up their offense in their next set of at-bats, redshirt freshman Josh Emanuels relieved Raeth of his duties in the fifth inning.
Redshirt sophomore Stu Flesland III promptly filled in for Emanuels later in the same inning, as the Bruins still kept a hold of their two-run lead.
That lead was severed when Washington’s first run finally sprung onto the scene when freshman Coby Morales doubled out to left-center field. Morales was able to jog home after redshirt senior Josh Urps followed with a ground-rule double.
After UCLA loaded the bases in the top of the sixth inning, senior right-hander Ryan Velazquez found his way out of this bind by locking down a strikeout, while letting go one more run with a sacrifice fly to right field, posting the score at 3-1.
The tides were soon turned once again, however, once redshirt sophomore Will Simpson stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the sixth. The redshirt sophomore bombed a home run into left-center field, his 10th of the season, and placed his team once more within one run of matching the Bruins’ lead.
Freshman AJ Guerrero lined a single through the right side of the field in the Huskies’ very next at-bat, which was replicated by Snyder. To Washington’s chagrin, its offense was unable to capitalize on these opportunities.
Velazquez and the Washington outfield, along with right-handed sophomore Case Matter, who filled in after the first two outs were clocked in, rallied together to squeeze out another tight inning.
After a lifeless eighth inning for UW’s bats, Matter (1-2) took down the next three UCLA batters in the top of the ninth inning, leaving it up to his teammates to figure out a way to come together and finish up the job.
“We usually just make sure we stick together,” Clayton said. “When guys start walking up there individually and put the pressure on themselves, it’s kind of tough to go up there and do that, so as long as we can hang with each other, and put each other on our backs, it helps a lot.”
Snyder again pulled through with a leadoff double, followed by a walk drawn by redshirt sophomore Christian Dicochea.
Barney kept the Huskies alive with two outs on the board with a single into right-center field that tied up the game 3-3. Clayton dialed in and delivered the game-winning hit immediately afterwards, walking it off with a single smacked into center field.
“I guess I just knew he was going to throw a fastball,” Clayton said. “I [was] just gonna see if I could catch it out front, and then hopefully put it somewhere in the outfield.”
Though it started off slowly, Washington’s offense outshone its counterpart overall, putting up 12 hits compared to UCLA’s five.
“I give our guys credit, because they can really pitch,” Meggs stressed. “We hung in there, and we found a way to scratch out a couple runs and do our thing in the ninth inning.”
Sunday afternoon’s win was captured with Washington simultaneously sitting in ninth place in the Pac-12 standings, leaving the Huskies in a prime position to move into eighth place and snag a Pac-12 Tournament berth if they keep things up.
“We’re just gonna see if we can keep it rolling,” Clayton. “We’re gonna see if we can take it game-by-game. It’s super exciting, but we’ve got to make sure we get USC next week.”

I am trying to understand what Gary Griffith and Senator Jayanti Lutchmedial expected Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to do with the “report” from the Special Branch on then-senator Foster Cummings. I suppose they expected him to act in a reckless manner the likes of a former prime minister simply firing ministers on whispers.
Apparently, this report from the Special Branch was sent to the PM in 2019. We do not know if the PM passed this on for internal investigation and their report was negative. In such a case, according to political analyst Dr Bishnu Ragoonath, that was the end of the mater.
It would have been a different matter if the Special Branch “report” had been sent for investigation by the police. And their findings sent to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) to determine whether charges can be laid.
Had Foster Cummings been hauled before the courts, I verily believed Dr Rowley would not have had him on his team.
It is my view that releasing this information three years later is suspect. And having it raised on a political platform attracting comment from a former commissioner of police who is now the leader of new political party compounds the suspicion. A prime minister must always act soberly, fairly and with good judgment. Dr Rowley must continue to display these qualities even though the provocation is intense.

‘Turn yourself in’ Police locate SUV connected to escaped inmate, officer
( NewsNation ) — The Ford Edge that escaped Alabama inmate Casey White and former correctional officer Vicky White have reportedly been traveling in was found in Middle Tennessee.
The vehicle was discovered abandoned in a rural area and has now been impounded, NewsNation local affiliate WKRN reported . It was reported abandoned a week ago, and o n Twitter , the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office said the vehicle was identified Thursday night.
Investigators believe the pair abandoned the vehicle after experiencing mechanical issues.
“There is NO sign the two are still in our area,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
There was nothing in the car, which had been poorly spray painted, police said during a news conference Friday afternoon.
Tune in at 8/7 Central Friday to watch an hour-long special edition of NewsNation Prime that will take a deeper look at the circumstances around this case and the ensuing manhunt for Casey White and Vicky White.
A week has passed since the inmate and corrections officer who share a “special relationship” vanished from a detention center in Lauderdale County, Alabama.
As the nationwide manhunt for Casey White and Vicky White intensifies, Sheriff Rick Singleton is revealing new details about his former employee.
Investigators are offering rewards of $10,000 for information leading to Vicky White’s apprehension and $15,000 for Casey White’s.
Singleton says there are aspects of Vicky White’s life that no one ever knew, explaining that she had a couple of aliases. According to the sheriff, she used one of those aliases to buy the Ford Edge.
New pictures
The U.S. Marshals Service released new photos Thursday night of both Casey White and Vicky White. According to the USMS, Vicky White may have tinted her blonde hair a darker shade since the escape. She is 5 feet 5 inches, weighing 145 pounds, with brown eyes and a waddling gait when she walks.
The USMS released pictures of Casey White’s tattoos. They say some of his ink is affiliated with the Alabama-based white supremacist prison gang Southern Brotherhood. Casey White has brown hair, hazel eyes, weighs 330 pounds and stands at 6 feet 9 inches.
Authorities published illustrations showing two figures scaled to the size of Casey White and Vicky White along with the Ford Edge.
Ala. sheriff: Best thing officer can do is run from inmateWeb of lies
While the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office initially thought Vicky White may have been coerced in the escape, it appears that a web of lies has started to unravel. Investigators have peeled back layers of what seems to be a calculated plan behind the capital murder suspect’s escape and the corrections officer police say fooled those who knew her best.
Investigators report that Vicky White and Casey White had an ongoing relationship for at least two years, with the pair communicating frequently by phone.
Last month, court documents show that Vicky White sold her home. A week prior to the escape, she reportedly checked into a hotel. Days before their disappearance, she bought the Ford Edge. And the day she vanished, she was set to retire from a job she had for nearly 17 years.
“There obviously was a part of Vicky White that none of us ever knew for her to do something like this,” Singleton told NewsNation’s Rush Hour on Thursday.
New reports have surfaced that after the escape Vicky White visited an adult lingerie store and a department store in Florence to buy men’s clothing.
NewsNation’s Brian Entin spoke to Vicky White’s mother off-camera, who is in complete shock over the escape. She says her daughter lived right behind her before she sold her house and that this is something she never would have expected from Vicky. She hopes Vicky will come back home and is thinking of ways to appeal to Vicky before interviewing with media outlets.
‘He’s already killed one.’
Vicky White ended up taking Casey White out of the Lauderdale Detention Center on April 29, claiming he had a mental health evaluation at the courthouse, an appointment investigators learned was never on the docket.
According to authorities, Casey White confessed to murder and was awaiting trial for the brutal stabbing when he escaped the jail. White had already been serving time for a 2015 violent crime spree including a home invasion, carjacking and police chase.
“He’s already killed one, you know, so he is facing the death penalty, so he has absolutely nothing to lose,” Singleton said. “If she [Vicky White] becomes a liability to him or slows him down, I think he’s very capable of hurting her seriously, even killing her.”
Authorities have warned that he is extremely dangerous.
Alabama escaped inmate, officer may be in Ford EdgeLocked up love scenario
Investigators believe Casey White and Vicky White had a “special relationship” that was ongoing for at least two years. They say the pair frequently communicated by talking on the phone. Inmates reported that Vicky White would give Casey White extra attention and extra food.
Dr. Pepper Schwartz, a professor of Sociology at the University of Washington and counselor on the show Married At First Sight, says this is by far not the first time a so-called locked up love scenario has happened. She says often inmates groom people with low self-esteem.
“This kind of thing has happened before. This isn’t the first time this exact scenario happens. A guy in there for capital crimes, a woman who is attached to the jail in some way, and he grooms her. He tells her how special she is. He talks about how he’s been framed, how nobody believes him, but her and how amazing she is. And nobody appreciates her like she does. And she starts to believe that he’s innocent, or it was provoked, you know, and justified in some way, whatever it is, mostly he was framed, or he’s a good man who would rot in jail the rest of his life, but she could save him. And he becomes something to her showing her what a good person she is, and that she could be the hero of her own life. And she could save this huge injustice or he’s her soulmate. He’s the love of her life. She’s got to save him. They’ve got to be together, the whole thing gets dramatized. And her vision of herself changes. And he helps her and he grooms her so that she becomes his accomplice,” Pepper explained.
Pepper says it’s extremely common for women to fall in love with men behind bars, explaining that someone who is lonely sometimes can be drawn to people in prison.
“Unfortunately, it is extremely common for women to be falling in love, even get married to people who have a lifetime murder conviction,” Pepper said. “What’s more secure than somebody behind bars? You’re everything to them. Anything they need, any emotion they have, you are the recipient or the giver of that. And that’s where the grooming comes in.”
She says it’s unlikely that Vicky is the mastermind behind the escape, noting that Casey White has nothing to lose and Vicky White had everything to lose.
“She has everything to lose. She’s going lose her job, she’s going to lose her safety. Even if she has some fantasy, that they’re going end up in some Caribbean island, safe and sound for the next 50 years. She’s going to leave every other relationship that is important to her. Now, she may have figured out the system, because she works in the system, about what would help him get out of there. But you know, faking a doctor’s appointment isn’t such a mastermind plan. She’s obviously prepared for it, she knew she was going to need a lot of cash. She got rid of her house quickly from what I can understand. This is a plan. This isn’t a sudden impulse, but I don’t see it going the other way around,” Pepper said.
Former New York City Corrections Officer Robin Kay Miller says male prisoners try to seduce female corrections officers all the time.
“They start out telling you things like your hair looks nice, your shirt’s fitting nice, they’ll say little things. They’ll ask can you bring them something in,” Miller said.
She says the requests start out small as they analyze a corrections officer’s behavior.
“They study us. They watch you every day. They listen to the officers talk about you. They watch your mannerisms. They watch your attitude. They literally study you, so they can tell from the way you speak to them or the way you handle yourself,” Miller said on Dan Abrams Live.
She says the moment a corrections officer lets their guard down, inmates can tell they have a vulnerability that may be able to be exploited.
“The relationship changes once an inmate or an incarcerated individual gets you to do something for them whether it’s bringing in drugs, cigarettes, or whatever the case is. Once they gain your trust, once they get you to do anything, now they own you. So if you’re escaping with an inmate, like this case, he owns her now. She has to do whatever basically he says. Now it’s probably gone from oh, she’s so madly in love to seeing him for the monster he really is,” Miller said.
‘They could be anywhere’
With a six-hour headstart before authorities started investigating their disappearance on April 29, Sheriff Singleton says Casey White and Vicky White could be anywhere. For now, law enforcement officers are following multiple leads and hoping they pan out.
“Obviously Vicky, having been in this profession for 17 years, she’s seen this scenario play out many times over her career and she knows how it always ends. We’re going to catch her. They’re going to be caught and be brought back to jail and they’re going to face the charges they’re now facing,” Singleton said.
Investigators say Casey White and Vicky White are believed to be armed and extremely dangerous, carrying a shotgun and an AR-15-style rifle. Anyone who sees the pair is urged not to approach them or engage with them, but instead call 911 immediately.
“You know we’re going to find you,” the sheriff said. “Hopefully we find you safe. If you’re safe right now, get out while you can and turn yourself in to local authorities wherever you’re at.”

Taipei [Taiwan], May 9 (ANI): In an evolving relationship, Slovenia is unlikely to backtrack from pro-Taiwan policies.
Sasa Istenic Kotar, Director of Taiwan Study Center in Slovenia on Saturday said that after Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa leaves office, following his electoral defeat last month, the country will maintain ties with the island nation, reported Taipei Times.

Jansa, a populist who presided over warming relations between Taiwan and Slovenia, was ousted in the parliamentary elections last month by political newcomer Rober Golob.
Slovenia is unlikely to make fundamental changes to its Taiwan policy, as improving economic and cultural ties between the countries serves Ljubljana's interests, said Kotar.

Under Slovenia: Safe, Successful, Globally Respected: The Foreign Policy Strategy of the Republic of Slovenia, published last year, the country is committed to devoting special attention to the Indo-Pacific region and deepening its cooperation with democratic countries in the region, Kotar said.
The national diplomatic and strategic policy of Slovenia is anchored to the EU's strategy, which treats China as a systematic rival and a competitor, she said.
"I believe that the new government will follow the EU's strategy and that no major changes will happen," she said, adding that the country might "keep a low profile so as to avoid angering China."
Slovenia's adherence to a "one China" policy and efforts to improve ties with Beijing would also continue, she said.
Although Ljubljana seeks to improve ties with Taiwan, it would likely 'keep a low profile so as to avoid angering China,' said Kotar, reported to Taipei Times.
Kotar recently told the Global Taiwan Institute that Slovenia's bid to obtain a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council -- for which it would need Beijing's support -- does not necessarily sink Taipei's hope of establishing a representative office in Ljubljana.
Taiwan has representative offices in all but six of the 27 countries that make up the EU -- Slovenia, Malta, Cypress, Luxembourg, Estonia and Croatia.
As the Slovenian parliament voted for Taiwan's diplomatic presence to be called the Taipei trade office, it does not anticipate heavy opposition from Beijing, she said.
In addition, Slovenia's interest in China has cooled after Beijing's "16+1" bloc failed to deliver on infrastructure and trade promises, she said, adding that Slovenia's trade deficits with China have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, reported Taipei Times.
The government considers Taiwan-Slovenia economic cooperation to have great potential, especially in renewable energy, artificial intelligence, technology, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, she said. (ANI)

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Makenzie Fischer scored four goals and Ryann Neushul added three more and Stanford pulled away over the final 3 minutes to beat USC 10-7 on Sunday to win the Cardinal’s eighth NCAA women’s water polo championship in program history.
Stanford (25-2) won 11 straight to close the season and its only losses this season came at the hands of USC (20-4). The programs have now played seven times in the championship game, with the Cardinal winning three.
Jewel Roemer scored to give Stanford the lead for good and make it 8-7 with nearly 3 minutes remaining. Fischer added a goal 54 seconds later and Neushul capped the scoring after USC went empty net in the closing seconds.
USC’s Mireia Guiral opened the scoring just 41 seconds into the game and, after Fischer converted from the penalty spot to make it 1-1 less than a minute later, she and Alejandra Aznar scored power-play goals to give the Trojans a 3-1 lead heading into the second quarter.
Stanford took its first lead when Neushel took a pass from Roemer and scored to make it 5-4 about 2 minutes into the second half.
USC’s Tilly scored to make it 6-6 with 7:30 to play and Fischer answered with a power-play goal 19 seconds later before Tilly tied it at 7-all on another power-play goal with 6:37 remaining. | https://www.dailynews.com/2022/05/08/makenzie-fischer-stanford-beat-usc-for-womens-water-polo-title/ | 2022-05-09T02:03:41Z | https://www.dailynews.com/2022/05/08/makenzie-fischer-stanford-beat-usc-for-womens-water-polo-title/ | false | 11 |
