New Poll Delivers More Brutal News to Biden Admin, This Time on Illegal Immigration
If it’s a day that ends in a Y, there’s bound to be some brutal polling news for President Joe Biden and the Democrats. This time, it’s on illegal immigration.
According to The Hill, a poll released Thursday found that a solid majority of Americans felt it isn’t time to lift Title 42, the public health policy that allows illegal immigrants to be summarily deported.
The Biden administration plans to lift it on May 23, a move which could potentially more than double the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions at the southern border, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates.
(Here at The Western Journal, we’ve reported on how Joe Biden’s administration has bungled border security and illegal immigration from the start, including the decision to lift Title 42. We’ll continue to document how the president and his party have encouraged and abetted the crisis at the southern border. You can help us bring America the truth by subscribing.)
The CNN/SSRS poll of 1,007 respondents, conducted between April 28 and May 1, found that 57 percent of Americans favored keeping Title 42 in place, versus 43 percent who wanted the policy ended. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
Title 42 is a World War II-era section of the public health code; it allows for the exclusion of persons entering the United States when the director of the CDC determines “there is serious danger of the introduction of [a communicable] disease into the United States.”
The policy was put into place during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic by the administration of former President Donald Trump; any individual who was apprehended trying to enter the United States illegally or who tried to enter at the border with an asylum claim was deported without a hearing.
The Biden administration kept the Trump administration’s policy mostly in place, with one exception: Unaccompanied minors were exempted. This, with stunning predictability, led to a surge in unaccompanied minors being taken into custody during the early months of Biden’s administration.
In early April, the administration announced it was removing Title 42 restrictions on all migrants. To the extent America remembers the early days of the administration and the border crisis — or that there were a record 1.7 million apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection last year and that this move would make the situation significantly worse — they don’t want to see the policy removed.
Of those who said they didn’t want it lifted, 48 percent said the Biden administration needed more time to prepare. The other 52 percent said Title 42 should be kept in place indefinitely.
Setting aside the question of whether or not a public health policy is the correct vehicle for controlling illegal immigration, what’s clear is the Biden administration has no control over it, nor does it have any serious intentions of reining it in.
In March, even before the Title 42 expiration was announced, the United States hit a decades-old record of illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border, with 221,303.
That was the highest level since March of 2000, in which 220,063 individuals were apprehended.
Consider, then, that the CDC estimated 18,000 illegal immigrants per day would be apprehended when Title 42 was allowed to expire, according to ABC News. That works out to 540,000 a month.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has spun this as a worst-case scenario.
“We’re not projecting 18,000, but what we do in the department is we plan for different scenarios, so we’re ready for anything that might materialize,” Mayorkas told CNN last Sunday.
“It is our responsibility to be prepared for different scenarios. And that is what we are doing.”
Note the wording there: not that DHS is ready for worst-case scenarios, just that they planned as part of being ready. Perhaps just that’s just how Mayorkas phrased it, but it’s not a difference without a distinction — not when we’re already setting illegal immigration records we shouldn’t be.
Hitting half-a-million apprehensions a month would be disastrous, and Mayorkas knows it. Let’s face it: Even anything that falls in the middle range between that worst-case scenario and March’s 221,303 apprehension number is going to look disastrous for a Biden administration that made a gigantic mess out of a relatively small surge of mostly Haitian migrants at the Del Rio, Texas border crossing last September.
There’s no backing away from removing Title 42 now, though; alea jacta est, as Julius Caesar might have put it. Caesar didn’t have to face midterms after he crossed the Rubicon, however, nor was public polling a big thing in the first-century B.C. Rome. In 2022 America, Joe Biden has to deal with both. Neither looks good for him.
On the polling front, consider that in the history of Gallup’s long-standing poll, Biden has the second-lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency at 41.3 percent. The lowest was Donald Trump, at 39.1 percent — and he could never shake the label of being divisive.
That’s partially how the Democrats took power in the House of Representatives in 2018 and how Biden gaffed his way into the White House from his Delaware basement in 2020. Other presidents who got shellackings in their first midterm election had significantly higher Gallup poll ratings.
Bill Clinton sat at 52.1 percent at this point in 1994; the Democrats lost both houses of Congress that year in what’s popularly called the “Republican Revolution.” Two years after sweeping Democrat victories seemed to hail a massive realignment to the left in Washington, Barack Obama sat at 48.8 percent in the Gallup poll in 2010. The Republicans gained 63 seats in the House of Representatives that year to take a majority in the lower chamber and captured three seats in the Senate.
The walloping was historically significant enough that last year, The Washington Post’s Jeff Greenfield wrote an article titled, “We’re Still Feeling the Aftershocks of the 2010 Midterm Elections.”
Keep that in mind when Joe Biden sits lower than anyone but Trump, and by a wide margin at that — and also consider this poll goes back to Dwight David Eisenhower’s administration.
Another poll released last month contained more bad news for Biden: Only 19 percent of Americans picked him when they were asked, “Who do you want to see run for president on the Democratic ticket in 2024?”
The winner: “Not sure.”
What Americans are sure about, however, is that Biden’s policies aren’t working. We’re about to see this dysfunction play out disastrously, yet again, in a human catastrophe at the southern border as Title 42 is removed.
Politicians shouldn’t be governed by polls, mind you. However, when that politician and his party seem to be charting new depths with each successive survey, perhaps vox populi doesn’t necessarily have the wrong idea.

At Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, bulldozers ready to begin demolition drive
Residents could be seen sitting on roads and protesting to stop the bulldozers from razing structures.
A demolition exercise will be conducted in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh area on Monday by Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled South Delhi Municipal Corporation, reported NDTV.
The drive is part of a month-long exercise announced by South Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor Mukesh Suryan on April 25. The mayor, however, does not have the power to order such action. A similar exercise was conducted in the Tughlakabad area on May 4.
On Monday, Rajpal, the chairperson of the civic body’s central zone standing committee said that workers and officials were ready to begin the drive and that bulldozers have been organised, reported ANI.
The Delhi Police will provide security to what the civic body describes as an “anti-encroachment” exercise. The drive was first planned on May 6 but could not be conducted as there were not enough police officials, according to NDTV.
Visuals on social media showed officials and bulldozers at Shaheen Bagh, which was among the various sites in the national capital where the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act were held.
Residents could be seen sitting on roads and protesting to stop the bulldozers from razing structures.
The drive by the civic body began nearly two weeks after the North Delhi Municipal Corporation had razed shops and homes, mostly owned by Muslims, in the city’s Jahangirpuri area despite a stay order by the Supreme Court.
The Jahangirpuri demolitions were carried out on April 20, just four days after the locality was hit by communal violence. Eight policemen and a civilian were injured after a clash between members of Hindu and Muslim communities during a Hanuman Jayanti procession.
A day after the Jahangirpuri demolition drive, BJP’s Delhi unit chief Adesh Gupta had said that civic bodies in the city’s eastern and southern parts should also carry out demolition drives to “remove illegal encroachments by Bangladeshis and Rohingyas”.
All the three civic bodies in the national capital are governed by the BJP.

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks said they are aware of an incident between a fan and the family of Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns during Sunday's Western Conference semifinal round playoff game at American Airlines Center.
ESPN reported that members of Paul's family had been harassed by fans and that some in the crowd made physical contact with them.
“It was unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated," the Mavericks said in a statement. "The Mavericks, along with American Airlines Center, swiftly removed the fan from today’s game.”
After the game, Paul tweeted: “Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put they hands on our families,” He also added an expletive.
Immediately after the game, it was unclear what Paul was addressing when he sent the tweet about a player’s family being accosted by fans. He wasn’t asked about it by reporters after the game.
On Sunday, the Mavericks beat the Suns 111-101 and evened the best-of-seven series 2-2. Paul fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter. Game 5 is Tuesday night in Phoenix.

“Our strategy of creating long-term value instead of short-term results has paid off and you can see that in our results — healthy profitability, positive cash generation and a strong sense of purpose. Our focus is on expansion across all geographies, in our d-to-c channels and online, with strong growth globally,” said chief executive officer Silvio Campara.
“We believe our strength lies in our obsession with the end consumer, their engagement, their experience and delivering a high-quality, luxury product. That connection with our customers, the Golden family, is at the heart of our performance, and we’re continuing to cultivate that global community,” he offered.
The Golden Goose community sits at the core of the brand’s responsibility plan until 2025 called Forward Agenda and unveiled in March. It is centered on four key pillars including innovation, exalting craft, care for people and engagement with communities.
In the 12 months to December 2021, revenues in the Americas were driven by d-to-c operations and jumped 74 percent compared to 2020 and 111 percent versus 2019, while sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa climbed 37 percent versus 2020. In spite of multiple lockdowns, like-for-like revenues in the Asia Pacific region increased 21 percent.
“Everything we achieved in 2021 was made possible by our exceptional team, who remained connected to our customers and continued to inspire dreams despite the disruption caused by the pandemic,” Campara offered. “We entered 2022 with confidence to further strengthen Golden Goose’s position in the global luxury market.”
In 2020, the brand was acquired by private equity fund Permira from the Carlyle Europe Buyout fund with a price tag pegged at 1.28 billion euros. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2592928586244/golden-goose-2021-sales-jump-45-spurred-by-d-to-c-the-americas | 2022-05-09T07:27:04Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2592928586244/golden-goose-2021-sales-jump-45-spurred-by-d-to-c-the-americas | true | 1 |
Why media releases matter for businesses
By distributing the published press releases online, you may increase your visibility and become a thought leader in your industry
When I was called for a job interview with a company, I wanted to learn about it beforehand. Apart from browsing through its website, I also did a google news search.
There was not much news about the organisation. Despite being one of the renowned companies, the communications people, I thought, were not releasing as many media handouts as they should.
In fact, to my mind, the company's visibility in the news media was not at all satisfactory. It made me think, and I told myself that if they hired me, I would bring a significant change in its communication strategies – both digital and print media.
Yes, press releases are an effective way of reaching a wider audience online. They help your company gain an extensive presence on major social media sites. Imagine how many million people worldwide access the internet every day, and they may look your company up in their search engines.
Hundreds of thousands of customers want to know about the company. If press releases are not found on the internet and in the top results, you may be losing out on many potential customers.
Press releases are also beneficial for search engine optimisation (SEO), primarily if they are written well. Media releases are equally important in print media. Creating a press release portfolio page is also an excellent way to increase your SEO. This way, curious customers and journalists can view your previous press releases and choose which ones they want to read more.
Press releases help build trust with the media. It also increases your likeability. Media releases help your company gain importance both in the media and in the society in which you do business. Getting published by leading publications can boost your credibility.
Writing a media release is an exciting art. You must keep your customers in mind while drafting the release. You cannot send out everything that happens in the company as press releases. While writing a good press release, you should always think about what topic your readers would be interested in reading about your company.
Consider whether it is relevant to a general audience or just journalists who cover business news. At the same time, you must think about why your topic would be newsworthy to your target audience.
Why would the newspapers consider your releases newsworthy? This aspect is vital. You all know that the media is hungry for good content that can benefit their audience. Therefore, your releases should benefit both the media and their audience, who may already be your customers or potential customers.
With ample press coverage, you can refine your message and explore a more straightforward path to persuade customers.
Besides increasing traffic online, press releases also boost your brand awareness. By establishing a reliable reputation, your company may gain more customers and market share.
By distributing the published press releases online, you may increase your visibility and become a thought leader in your industry. Press releases can also help us develop your brand across multiple channels, including social media and blog posts.
You can be seen as an expert in your industry when you use quotable quotes in your media releases. An industry requires thought leaders, and when you become that leader through your media releases, your customers will trust you more. Quotes work like miracles as far as a company's leading ability is concerned.
Apart from generating publicity for your business, press releases can also offer valuable contact information. The releases are archived in search engines and serve as useful tools for online visibility. The more inbound contacts your company has to potential customers, the higher your chances to be contacted and excelling in business.
So, think about the release needed out there, write it with care and disseminate the info you want to.

Charity Crisis said homelessness causes severe inequalities in care, with health issues often going untreated until a critical point.
And figures from NHS Digital shows the cost to the health service of treating patients with social issues across England has almost doubled over just two years.
Data shows roughly 550 emergency care admissions to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust had a diagnosis of “social problems”, including chronic alcoholism and homelessness, in 2020-21.
It cost the trust £160,482 to treat patients with this diagnosis over the period.
The number of admissions rose from roughly 535 the year before, and the cost increased from £105,824.
In 2018-19 – the first year such figures were recorded – there were roughly 875 patients admitted with this diagnosis, at a cost of £161,836.
The figures also cover a range of other categories – including nutritional disorder, safeguarding abuse, social problems in schools and poor social circumstances – with the diagnosis made by the clinician responsible for the patient attending A&E.
More than 50,500 patients were admitted to NHS hospitals, minor injury units and walk-in centres with issues such as these across England last year – up slightly from 48,300 the year before and 48,700 in 2018-19.
But the cost to the NHS (£21.1 million) jumped from £13.5 million in 2019-20, and almost doubled from £11.8 million just two years prior.
The Institute of Alcohol Studies said one explanation for this rise could be that people with social problems in 2020-21 had more severe issues when they arrived at emergency departments.
An IAS spokesman said there were increases in higher risk drinking, alcohol liver disease emergency admissions and alcohol-specific deaths that year, but warned any trends during the pandemic are difficult to interpret.
Dr Alison Giles, chief executive of the IAS, said it is “shocking” to see how much the NHS spends on treating issues including alcohol harm, but said measures such as minimum unit pricing would help bring this down.
She added: “These could be introduced as part of a Covid-19 recovery plan, otherwise we will almost certainly continue to see a rise in admissions and costs, as well as deaths.”
Matt Downie, chief executive of Crisis, said something as simple as lack of ID can make going to a GP impossible for people experiencing homelessness – meaning health issues often are not addressed until a critical point.
He added: “The fact that people are accessing treatment is positive, but the focus must be on getting tailored health care support early on.”
He said recent NICE guidelines – which call for specialist services to meet the complex needs of people who are homeless – must be implemented.
In terms of cost, social problems was ranked 28th out of the 38 different types of emergency care diagnosis listed at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Trust.
It was responsible for less than one per cent of the trust's £31 million total costs.
The highest amount was spent on treating patients with nothing abnormal detected – £3.3 million (11 per cent). | https://www.thestar.co.uk/health/patients-in-sheffield-attending-ae-due-to-social-problems-during-pandemic-cost-nhs-ps160000-3685557 | 2022-05-09T07:41:28Z | https://www.thestar.co.uk/health/patients-in-sheffield-attending-ae-due-to-social-problems-during-pandemic-cost-nhs-ps160000-3685557 | false | 18 |

May 9 (Reuters) - Ideagen Plc agreed to a takeover
by London-based private equity firm Hg Pooled Management in an
all-cash deal, valuing the British software firm at 1.09 billion
pounds ($1.34 billion), the companies said on Monday.
Hg said shareholders of Ideagen, whose software helps
companies comply with regulation and manage risk, will receive
350 pence per share, representing a premium of about 52% to its
closing price on April 11.
Shares in Ideagen jumped 46% to 355 pence on Monday, above
Hg's offer price, indicating that investors are expecting a
counter bid from French rival suitor Astorg.
Ideagen, which operates in the regulatory and compliance
software sector serving more than 8,000 customers including
Heineken and British Airways, has seen a flurry of
takeover interest since early April.
London-based private equity firm Cinven said on April 14 it
was in talks for a possible offer for Ideagen, but dropped its
pursuit last week.
Ideagen, in a separate statement, said it remained in talks
with fund management company Astorg, which has been given access
to due diligence.
The London-listed company, whose board plans to unanimously
recommend the Hg deal to shareholders, said it believed the
offer from Rainforest Bidco, a company indirectly controlled by
funds managed by Hg, "represents value for shareholders".

PHOENIX — The largest nuclear power plant in the U.S. is still looking for an alternative water source after scuttling plans to pump brackish groundwater west of Phoenix it first pursued in 2019.
The Palo Verde Generating Station is the only nuclear plant in the world not adjacent to a large body of water to cool the plant. Instead, it uses reclaimed water piped more than 35 miles (56 kilometers) across the desert.
That water is getting more expensive, and to keep the plant economical, Arizona Public Service Co. is exploring ways to use it wiser, including a test project with Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this summer, the Arizona Republic reported.
The plant uses about 65 million gallons of treated wastewater every day — more than 23 billion gallons a year — to generate electricity.
The contract with cities to sell the plant the treated wastewater runs through 2050 and gets more expensive after 2025.
“That’s just a fact of what is in our water contracts and it is important to us to look for ways to operate more cost-effectively,” said Brad Berles, general manager of Palo Verde water resources.
The water from the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant cost $53 an acre-foot in 2010. It will cost $300 an acre-foot in 2025. Starting in 2026, water rates will be set using a tiered formula, rising with water use.
One acre-foot is approximately 326000 gallons, or enough water to supply three single-family households in Phoenix for a year.
APS is working with Sandia on a dry-cooling pilot project to be built at the New Mexico laboratory.
Nuclear fuel is used to heat water in the plant and make steam. After steam from the plant spins a turbine and makes electricity, it is sent to large cooling towers outside the plant where much of it evaporates away.
The Sandia project will study cooling the water before it goes to those towers.
“If we send cooler water to the towers ... we can reduce what we evaporate off,” Berles said.
Cooling the water with fans or other mechanisms would of course use energy. The point of the research is to determine whether the cost of the equipment and energy to run it would save money by reducing water use.
“It’s a balance just like everything we look at,” Berles said. “You’ve got to evaluate the pros and cons of it.”
Testing should begin in May or June, and gather data for four to six months.
“We are probably multiple years out from when we would do anything at the plant,” he said.
Another option APS is reviewing is adding another water-treatment facility to the nuclear plant.
The wastewater that Palo Verde receives is treated before it’s used at the plant. Water is usually cycled through the plant and cooling towers about 25 times before it becomes too saline for another use.
Once the chemistry of the water makes it unusable in the plant, it is pumped to massive evaporation ponds on the property where it simply dries up.
APS is evaluating whether it would be cost-effective to treat the water again, after it’s used in the plant, to extend its useful life.
“There are different technologies that exist currently and new technologies being pursued by vendors in the water industry,” Berles said. “There’s a lot of ideas that people have out there.”
In 2019 APS applied to pump low-quality groundwater from the Buckeye area and study whether that water would be cost-effective to treat and use at the plant in place of some of the treated wastewater it purchases.
But APS no longer is pursuing that plan, Berles said.
The utility was initially planning to pump as much as 10,000 acre-feet of water a year, and blend it with the treated effluent that is piped to the nuclear plant.
Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District and Buckeye Irrigation Co. opposed the APS plan.
The Arizona Department of Water Resources also rejected the idea, saying opponents of the plan showed the water APS planned to pump already was in use by others. The permit APS was seeking was for water that has no other beneficial use.
ADWR said that “despite generally poor water quality in the area, the water at issue in this application is and has been used for multiple purposes for a substantial period of time.”
APS appealed the decision, but then withdrew the application.
“Just looking at overall societal benefits or impacts, and the financial impacts and benefits, we just took a big picture look at the whole thing, engaged with those stakeholders, and determined it wasn’t worth going forward at this time for us,” Berles said. “At Palo Verde, engaging with the community is a big deal for us.” | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/arizona-nuclear-plant-seeking-alternative-source-of-water/article_efb11642-cf07-11ec-b36d-271548051737.html | 2022-05-09T07:52:55Z | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/arizona-nuclear-plant-seeking-alternative-source-of-water/article_efb11642-cf07-11ec-b36d-271548051737.html | true | 21 |

Emotions run high in Neighbours next week, as Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland) travels to Sydney to inform his parents about his condition.
He and Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) take a trip down memory lane upon arriving, but Hendrix soon decides that he doesn’t want to tell his family about what’s going, and would rather a stress-free holiday.
That is, until Alana notices that something is up with him.
Left with little choice, Hendrix opens up to his family, telling them the truth. The scenes in question mark the return to Pierce, with original star Tim Robards reprising the role.
Elsewhere, the Rodwells are questioning their decision to move to Ramsay Street, after their barbecue proved a nightmare. Karl and Susan Kennedy (Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne), however, pop over to offer them an olive branch.
Can the Rodwells get along with their new neighbours?
It’s all kicking off in Ramsay Street next week, and here’s your first look at all the emotional drama to come.
Neighbours airs these scenes w/c Monday May 16 at 1:15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

A wildlife advocate has described a decapitated swan found on the weekend at Lake Wendouree as one of the worst cases they have ever witnessed. The swan, first spotted by a member of the public on Sunday had its head severed, its insides sprawled across the edge of the lake and some submerged in the water, wildlife rescuer and Ballarat local Heather Lewis said. Ms Lewis who was initially at the lake to release a rehabilitated swan on Sunday described the scene as "sickening." WARNING, GRAPHIC IMAGE BELOW: "You don't normally see them in that state and it was just awful to see," Ms Lewis said. "It's probably one of the worst ones I've seen." The Courier's nature writer, Roger Thomas, who was unaware of the incident, described it as "pretty upsetting." READ MORE: Lake Wendouree swans: Rescue volunteers call for clarity and action Ms Lewis said the swan's injuries are likely to have been caused by a dog however, she said it was difficult to determine the true perpetrator. "My initial thought was a dog attack but whether this is the case we don't know but it also looks likely, with the clump of feathers that had been ripped off the swan, some with the skin still attached, and the way its head had been cleanly cut off suggests it could have been decapitated with a knife," she said. "Whatever it was; it was vicious." Ms Lewis, who was alerted to another swan decapitation last year which had been killed by a fox, said a similar fate for Sunday's swan was unlikely. "The last swan killing which was confirmed to have been attributed to a fox was near a bushier part of the lake but we know swans go back into the water at dusk so we know a fox wouldn't have been there in the evening," she said. The decapitated swan is the third to be found in three years and is also the eighth swan killed this year in Ballarat. There are roughly 100 swans at the lake. All wildlife in Victoria is protected under the Wildlife Act 1975 and killing, harassing or disturbing wildlife holds an $8000 maximum penalty. Ms Lewis said education is the first step in addressing these incidents as well as enforcing stricter policy regarding dogs on leashes around the lake. "You can't stop these injuries altogether but educating people on why their dogs should be kept on leads is crucial to maintaining our lake wildlife," she said. "It's not only for the benefit of our wildlife but also our elderly because some of them are quite big and have the potential to bowl you over." IN THE NEWS: Ms Lewis described the responsibility of wildlife welfare near the lake as a "grey area'' between Ballarat council and Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP). "The council is aware of the lake's asset to locals and the wider community and they do what they can but there's a limit to what they can actually do," she said. "They did actually apply to Vic Roads to have the speed limit brought down to 40, all the way around the lake but that was knocked back." The City of Ballarat and the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning have been contacted for comment.

Maputo — The Mozambican health authorities on Saturday reported ten new cases of the Covid-19 respiratory disease.
This follows two cases diagnosed on Friday, seven on Thursday, 13 on Wednesday and none at all on Tuesday.
Saturday's cases were five men and five women, aged between 12 and 49. Eight were Mozambican citizens and two were foreigners (whose nationality was not revealed). Seven were diagnosed in Maputo city and three in Maputo province.
According to a Friday press release from the Ministry of Health, since the start of the pandemic, 1,316,128 people have been tested in Mozambique for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, 552 of them in the previous 24 hours.
542 of these tests yielded negative results, while the ten positive results brought the total number of Covid-19 cases diagnosed in Mozambique to 225,419.
The positivity rate (the percentage of those tested found to be carrying the virus) fell from 1.33 per cent on Thursday to 0.32 per cent on Friday, then rose again to 1.81 per cent on Saturday.
Once again, the Ministry release reported no further deaths from Covid-19, and so the total death toll in Mozambique from the disease remains 2,201.
One new case was admitted to hospital in Maputo on Saturday. This brought the total number of Covid-19 cases hospitalised to three - two in Maputo city and one in Manica. The Manica patient is in intensive care, receiving supplementary oxygen.
The Ministry release reported no further recoveries from Covid-19. The total number of recoveries thus remains 223,163, which is almost exactly 99 per cent of all Covid-19 cases ever diagnosed in Mozambique.
The number of active cases of Covid-19 rose from 41 on Friday to 51 on Saturday. The geographical distribution of the active cases was as follows: Maputo city, 17; six each in Maputo province, Gaza and Inhambane; Sofala, five; Tete, three; two each in Nampula. Zambezia and Manica; Cabo Delgado, one; and Niassa, one.
The Ministry release also reported that over the previous 24 hours, a further 9,356 people were vaccinated against Covid-19. The total number fully vaccinated now stands at 13,967,145, which is 91.8 per cent of all citizens aged 18 and above. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202205090069.html | 2022-05-09T08:23:23Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202205090069.html | false | 2 |

Seventh seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain won his maiden Madrid Open title by defeating second seed Alexander Zverev of Germany 6-3, 6-1 in the final on Sunday. It was Alcaraz’s second Masters 1000 triumph and his fourth title in 2022.
The final was a bit anti-climactic in the end as the 19-year-old dismantled the German with a clinical performance. The match lasted for a little more than an hour.
On that note, let’s take a look at three factors that stood out in the match:
#1 Carlos Alcaraz did not take long before getting his first break as the match started with faster, shorter rallies
Alcaraz faced a different sort of challenge going into the final as compared to his previous encounters as Zverev is a more attacking player than either Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic. As expected, Zverev hit his groundstrokes with a lot of power and it was reciprocated by the Spaniard, who boasts of fierce groundstrokes himself.
As a result, the rallies were typically faster and shorter. The players managed to hold their respective serves until the sixth game of the first set, after which Carlos Alcaraz got his first break by winning the game to love. Zverev started committing unforced errors frequently as the match progressed and Alcaraz had no problem gaining the upper-hand.
#2 Carlos Alcaraz won the first set as Zverev started to struggle in his return games
As the first set progressed, Zverev started having great difficulty in returning his opponent’s serve. He hit a number of returns long and Alcaraz had no problem serving out the first set. Alcaraz opted to serve-and-volley on a few occasions and hit a few volley winners.
Zverev’s forehand was also vulnerable as he committed seven unforced errors off it in the first set. Alcaraz spotted that weakness and started directing most of the traffic to his opponent’s forehand side. He also played his customary drop shots on a few occasions to good effect. Carlos Alcaraz won the final game easily to take the first set 6-3.
The Spaniard won 93% and 75% of the points off his first and second serves, respectively. He also served at Zverev's forehand side more often as the match progressed and the tactic paid off.
#3 Carlos Alcaraz ran through the final set as double faults compounded Zverev’s misery
The second set was more one-sided than the first as Alcaraz had no problem stamping his authority. Zverev frequently struggled to stay in rallies as the Spaniard was decidedly superior in the baseline exchanges. Alcaraz’s superb court coverage ensured that Zverev could rarely hit through him with his groundstrokes.
Zverev’s struggles with his service returns continued in the second set too, as Alcaraz won most of his service games comfortably. Alcaraz broke Zverev in the fourth and sixth games of the second set and never failed to hold his serve.
The Spaniard converted four of the eight break point chances he had in the match, whereas Zverev failed to notch up a single break point opportunity. To make matters worse for the German, he committed five double faults in the match, including one on match point. Alcaraz hit 12 winners in the match, which was modest by his standards, but more than enough to prevail on the day. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/carlos-alcaraz-s-win-alexander-zverev-madrid-open-final-3-things-stood | 2022-05-09T08:27:57Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/carlos-alcaraz-s-win-alexander-zverev-madrid-open-final-3-things-stood | false | 1 |
Maye Musk Uses 1 Tweet to Beat Down NYT for 'White Privilege' Hit Piece on Her Son, Elon Musk
Elon Musk is a hard man to pin down.
How do you precisely define a guy who completely transformed the automobile and aerospace industries, has amassed more wealth than any other human in history and spends much of his free time posting crude jokes and silly memes?
Nevertheless, the New York Times took a crack at it on Thursday. In a blatant hit piece citing the billionaire’s upbringing in apartheid South Africa, the Times summed up Musk’s motivations with two words — “white privilege.”
Musk’s mother — fashion model Maye Musk — isn’t having it.
In just a few short sentences, Musk’s mother pointed out one simple fact no doubt lost on the big-government leftists over at the Times: Government is the problem.
In South Africa, if you publicly opposed apartheid, you went to jail. In Russia, if you publicly oppose the war, you go to jail. @nytimes are you going to blame children for decisions made by governments? #StopTheWar 🇺🇦 https://t.co/4wJt1ui0st
— Maye Musk (@mayemusk) May 5, 2022
“In South Africa, if you publicly opposed apartheid, you went to jail. In Russia, if you publicly oppose the war, you go to jail. @nytimes are you going to blame children for decisions made by governments?” Maye Musk tweeted on Thursday.
Following harsh critical backlash, the Times did some stealth editing to the story, portraying Musk as much more progressive on race issues (which is accurate to the billionaire’s history) than the original piece did.
For the hit piece, reporters John Eligon and Lynsey Chutel interviewed over a dozen acquaintances and relatives of Musk regarding the billionaire’s childhood years.
The Times framed these quotes in a way to suggest that Musk’s vision of Twitter — a free-speech public town square — will promote the kind of “misinformation” that held up South Africa’s pre-1990s apartheid policies.
However, the Times described South African government propaganda as “misinformation.”
“Mr. Musk, 50, grew up in the economic hub of Johannesburg, the executive capital of Pretoria and the coastal city of Durban. His suburban communities were largely shrouded in misinformation,” the Times reported.
“Newspapers sometimes arrived on doorsteps with whole sections blacked out, and nightly news bulletins ended with the national anthem and an image of the national flag flapping as the names of white young men who were killed fighting for the government scrolled on the screen.”
“Mr. Musk has heralded his purchase of Twitter as a victory for free speech, having criticized the platform for removing posts and banning users. It is unclear what role his childhood — coming up in a time and place in which there was hardly a free exchange of ideas and where government misinformation was used to demonize Black South Africans — may have played in that decision.”
What seems to be lost on the Times, however, is the fact that this South African “misinformation” wasn’t a result of unfiltered free speech.
It was the result of a carefully calculated government propaganda campaign.
According to The Guardian, “from the earliest days of apartheid in the late 1940s,” the South African government launched its propaganda campaign in a bid for U.S. support for its “white minority government.”
Government-controlled newspapers, bulletins and broadcasts all forwarded this effort. Private-public relations firms were hired to tell the truth — as the government saw it, that is.
In the ’70s, pro-apartheid partisan Connie Mulder was hired on as “Minister of Information,” the head of the government’s “Department of Information.”
This seems oddly reminiscent of the Biden administration’s “Disinformation Governance Board,” doesn’t it?
The U.S. government recently hired partisan leftist Nina Jankowicz to head up what many are now referring to as Biden’s own “Ministry of Truth,” in order to combat “misinformation” that doesn’t fall in line with the government’s view of “the truth.”
This is clearly the problem, not Musk’s vision for Twitter. In fact, if a Musk-style free-speech platform had existed at the time, it’s quite possible the South African regime would have been toppled decades earlier.
After all, in parts of the world where citizens had open access to information, the apartheid regime was incredibly unpopular. Had South Africans been exposed to these ideas via Twitter, the government’s stranglehold on information would have been erased.
If the Times really was hoping to prevent another apartheid regime from coming into power, its journalists would be covering these incredible excesses of Biden’s “Disinformation Board.”
Instead, much like many South African publications of the 20th century, the Times has decided to regurgitate the government’s anti-free-speech talking points.

This Mother’s Day could be celebrated by honouring some of the greatest anime moms in the last few years who have made us cry or made us laugh.
Today is Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 9, 2022) and while spending time with your real-life mom can be great, it can be great to reflect on the other great moms that I have influenced us. What better way to see great moms than in some of the latest, popular anime shows? There had been so many to choose from in the past decade, and it was hard to narrow the choices.
I thought the past decade really showed how the mom character depictions in anime had changed or stories had given them dynamic impacts on the protagonists. And no, this is not a list of fan-service moms who are there to fill the heads of little boys’ fantasies. This is a list of the most wholesome anime mothers who have shown joy in their child(ren)’s lives or had to make the life-saving, ultimate sacrifice.
5. Kie Kamado (Demon Slayer—Kimetsu no Yaiba)
As a widowed mother of six children, Kie Kamado had shown her hard work and care in taking care of her kids and protecting them from demons in their small mountain home. Her sacrifice and bravery to confront the demon, Muzan Kibutsuji, really set her apart as someone who really cared for her children despite four of them dying. While not much is known about her, Tanjiro and Nezuko’s actions reflect the kindness and toughness she raised her kids to have.
4. Carla Jaeger (Attack on Titan)
This was another example of how a mother made a valiant effort to protect her kids (Mikasa was not even her kid) from the terrifying titans and paid with her life. This quote said it all, “My son doesn’t have to be better than anyone. After all, just look at him…He’s so cute. I think Eren’s special enough already. Because he was…born into this world.” She had undying, unconditional love for Eren and that is why she made this Mother’s Day list, despite Eren’s questionable actions in the latest season.
3. Shuuko Komi (Komi Can’t Communicate)
Shuuko made this list as she provided a great contrasting character to her daughter, Shouko. She was more outgoing and had the cool, forever-17-years-old mom vibes. While Shuuko was known as the talker in the family, she respected her other family members who suffered from their anxiety and communication disorders. Many scenes have shown her cheering on her daughter when interacting with others and was proud to see her making more friends as the school year progressed. A lot of the issues in this show really tackle the concepts of anxiety and would be a great family watch for Mother’s Day.
2. Yor Forger/Briar/Thorn Princess (Spy x Family)
This series has been one of the most anticipated spring animes on Crunchyroll and has not failed to impress. Yor was a great addition to the Forger family to help sell the elegant picture-perfect family image so Loid (special agent Twilight) could accomplish his spy mission. Yor had shown how her assassination skills could translate into being a great mom to her step/fake daughter, Anya. Also, having the alias “Thorn Princess” is so badass—it was like John Wick being called the Baba Yaga.
1. Sheena/Hilling (Ranking of Kings)
Without delving too far into spoiler territory, Sheena was a great example of sacrificing her life for her son, Boji, when the kingdom was attacked. Even more emotionally moving, was watching Boji’s stepmother, Hilling, taking care of Boji and how much she cared for him, despite having her own biological son, Daida.
She subverted all expectations that caged the stepmother’s role as being evil and mean. Hilling showed how she could be a tough mother, but also showed her emotions when her sons needed her most. While Sheena paid with her life, and Hilling continued to take care of the boys, I enjoyed watching both moms and hope you all can really watch this for Mother’s Day.
MORE Notable Mother’s Day Anime Moms
While these mothers did not make this Mother’s Day list for best moms, they stood out to me for emotionally connecting with their kids, and it can be implied how they inspired them both as their children as nurturing them into great protagonists. Marie Yaguchi has not made too many appearances in this season of Netflix’s Blue Period, but her reluctant choices pushed Yatora to follow his passion to go to art school.
Inko Midoriya (My Hero Academia) was another example, like Marie Yaguchi, where she had to endure watching her son, Izuku/Deku, sustain multiple injuries and facing life-threatening battles. It has become tough to watch Deku’s pummeling and the scene with her tearing up through the TV or tearing up when telling All-Might to take care of her son was gut-wrenching.
Speaking of gut-wrenching moments, Masaki Kurosaki from Bleach came to mind. Now, this anime is really old, but with the upcoming release of the final arc, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood Arc, this will be the arc that will bring Ichigo’s story full-circle. Without spoilers, this climatic arc will really tie Ichigo’s roots to his mom, while the story and focus is expected to shift to the Quincy society.
While these moms are great, we would love to hear which anime moms really tugged on your heartstrings. I hope everyone can catch these amazing shows on Crunchyroll, Netflix or Funimation (before it fully consolidates) and I wish all mothers around the world a Happy Mother’s Day! Love you, Mom! | https://www.cgmagonline.com/articles/features/5-best-anime-moms-to-brighten-mothers-day/ | 2022-05-09T08:34:12Z | https://www.cgmagonline.com/articles/features/5-best-anime-moms-to-brighten-mothers-day/ | false | 1 |
UN chief urges donors to sustain aid amid Ukraine crisis
ABUJA, Nigeria — (AP) — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged international donors to sustain funding for humanitarian operations in Africa and across the world even as they respond to the Ukraine crisis.
Addressing reporters in Nigeria as he wrapped up his three-nation tour of West Africa, the U.N. chief said donors should actually increase funding for global aid so as not to “undermine” development activities in Africa and other parts of the world.
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine now a full-scale war, many countries have sent relief aid to Ukraine, which its leader President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said needs $7 billion in relief funding per month.
“My appeal is for those that support financially the United Nations not to divert funds from other humanitarian and development forms of cooperation to the Ukraine crisis," Guterres said. He urged donor nations to "put additional contributions for that (Ukraine) crisis and not undermine the efforts in humanitarian and development cooperations that are taking place all around the world.”
Earlier this week Guterres visited the West African countries of Senegal and Niger.
In northeastern Nigeria where the impact of the 12-year Islamic extremist insurgency in the country’s northeast has been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, 8.4 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, U.N. data shows.
However, there are already signs that the war in Ukraine has caused a decline in donations for relief operations in Nigeria, according to Priscilla Bayo Nicholas, a nutrition specialist with the U.N. children’s agency.
“The situation in Ukraine is affecting us here. (It is) affecting the program in Nigeria because now most of the funding is diverted to respond to Ukraine's crisis … meanwhile, we also have a nutrition crisis here,” said Nicholas in Borno state, the center of Nigeria’s humanitarian crisis.
A key step in responding to humanitarian crises globally would be to “reform the global financial system … designed by the rich, for the rich,” said Guterres in Abuja.
”As we face a situation that requires urgent action, we must make greater use of all available mechanisms for the benefit of developing countries, including middle-income countries, especially in Africa,” he said.
While in Nigeria, Guterres visited the northeast region where he met with former extremists who have defected from the camps of the Boko Haram jihadi group and its offshoot Islamic State West Africa Province.
The jihadi insurgency in northeast Nigeria is blamed for the deaths of 35,000 people and displacing 2.1 million, according to U.N.
In Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, Guterres laid a wreath Wednesday in honor of the 23 people who died in 2011 when Boko Haram bombed the United Nations office building in the West African country. Many of those killed were U.N. staffers.
“Today, the U.N. family stands in solidarity with the victims’ families, as well as the women and men who work at U.N. House every day, to serve and support the people of Nigeria,” Guterres said. “And we stand in solidarity with all Nigerians who have endured similar violence in their own communities.”

Best home loan lenders revealed as homeowners struggle with interest rate hikes
Some of the best home loan lenders have been revealed as new research indicates many homeowners are already struggling with the announcement of interest rate hikes.
Comparison website Finder has revealed its home loan awards for 2022, with winners based on factors including fees, the deposit size required, whether the loan has an offset account and the interest rate.
Reduce Home Loans won two of the seven categories – best investor home loan on a three-year fixed rate, and best investor home loan on a variable rate.
Macquarie Bank also took out two awards – best refinance home loan on a variable rate, and best refinance home loan on a fixed rate.
G&C Mutual Bank won best low deposit variable home loan, while Beyond Bank scooped the best owner home loan on a three-year fixed rate, and Freedom Lend took out the owner occupier home loan on a variable rate.
“The award winners are further proof that some of the best offers in the market aren’t necessarily from the big bank around the corner,” Finder money senior editor Sarah Megginson said.
“You don’t want to be so house poor that you can’t afford to have fun or travel because all your money is tied up in your mortgage.”
Meanwhile, almost one in three Australian homeowners are struggling to meet mortgage repayments, according to Finder’s consumer sentiment tracker in April.
Ms Megginson said mortgage stress was likely to rise again in May and June as monthly payments inflate.
“The past two years have seen a record number of buyers enter the property market, but many haven’t budgeted for a rainy day,” she said.
“If you’re seriously struggling to afford your repayments, speak to your lender straight away – they may be able to restructure your loan to ease the pain.
“Refinancing your home loan is one of the best ways to save money too. The cash rate going up may be a good reason to make your rate go down.”
Finspo chief executive Angus Gilfilian told NCA NewsWire on Monday that the cost of living was a challenge for many Australians.
“To have the maximum impact on their savings, many Australians are focusing on their biggest household expenses, which for most homeowners is their home loan,” he said.
“Australians are recognising that there are many great lenders out there beyond just the big four, so it’s important to cast a wide net and compare a large variety of products and lenders with help from a home loan expert.”
Mr Gilfilian warned that lenders would not necessarily give you a personal update when your interest rate moves.
“In fact, many lenders are only obligated to print an ad in a national newspaper to inform customers on their rate changes,” he said.
“So typically, it’s up to you to track your interest rate by logging in to your banking app or website, then digging around to find your loan details.”
Most lenders had so far announced their interest rate changes in line with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s 0.25 per cent cash rate increase last week, with effective dates ranging between immediate and June 1, Mr Gilfilian said.
“However, your repayments may not change immediately, they may already be above the minimum, or your repayments may only change after a certain time period, for example at an annual loan review date,” he said.
Typically, lenders offered better deals to new customers, he added.

Dangerous, gusty winds were expected to continue Monday across northeast New Mexico, complicating the fight against wildfires that threaten thousands of homes in mountainous rural communities.
The region's largest city — Las Vegas, New Mexico, home to 13,000 people — was largely safe from danger after firefighters mostly stopped a blaze there from moving east. But the northern and southern flanks of the wildfire proved trickier to contain as wind gusts topped 50 mph (80 kph).
“It’s been a challenging day. The winds have picked up; they haven’t let up,” fire spokesperson Todd Abel said Sunday night.
A so-called “red flag warning” that indicates high fire danger due to heat, low humidity and fast winds will remain in place through Monday night, nearly four days after it began.
More than 1,600 firefighters were out Sunday battling the two major blazes burning northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Together they covered 275 square miles (some 710 square kilometers), an area more than twice the size of Philadelphia. Firefighters had contained nearly half of the blazes by Sunday night.
Still, the threat was far from over with the National Interagency Fire Center saying early Sunday that more than 20,000 structures remained threatened by the fire, which has destroyed about 300 residences over the past two weeks.
Fast winds are in many ways firefighters’ worst nightmare, especially in conditions as hot and dry as those the crews have been battling in the Southwest since early April.
U.S. & World
In addition to fanning and spreading the flames, these winds keep air tankers and light planes grounded. That left them unable to drop water directly on the fire or lay down retardant ahead of its path to allow bulldozers and ground crews to dig firebreaks in places where there are no highways or roads to help stop the progression.
In extreme conditions, like the ones in New Mexico, even the helicopters that can typically get up in the air — at least during the early morning hours before winds start to pick up in the afternoon — are grounded. That prevents them from gathering intelligence about overnight developments. Aircraft were able to fly early Sunday but were grounded by the afternoon.
“It’s not good, obviously; it takes away a tool in our toolbox, but we’re not stopping,” said fire spokesperson Ryan Berlin.
Officials were concerned about winds that had whipped up more flames on the northern edge of the fire near some very small communities of several hundred people. Gusts had driven fire down into a canyon, making it difficult to get to, said Dave Bales, the incident commander.
He and other officials strongly urged people to be ready to evacuate or to leave immediately if they’ve been told to do so. Should the fire overwhelm a community, heavy smoke and congested roads could make it hard for people to flee and for firefighters to access the area, he said.
“It is so thick you can’t see, you can’t drive, you can’t see the engine ahead of you,” Bales said.
Those towns sit along a state highway that runs from Las Vegas, New Mexico, up to Taos, a popular place for skiing and other outdoor recreation. Taos, however, was not threatened, but people in some parts of the larger Taos County have been told to prepare for possible evacuations.
In the small community of Las Vegas, some residents began returning on Saturday and some local businesses reopened. Containment lines established by bulldozers as well as the direction of the wind helped keep the community safe over the weekend. But some fire officials warned people to remain aware of evacuation orders because conditions could change quickly.
“Just because the winds are coming from one direction doesn’t mean they can’t change direction, so it’s better to be prepared and have residents ready to go,” said Wendy Mason with the New Mexico Forestry Division.
Nationwide, close to 2,000 square miles (5,180 square kilometers) have burned so far this year, with 2018 being the last time this much fire had been reported at this point, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. And predictions for the rest of the spring do not bode well for the West, where long-term drought and warmer temperatures brought on by climate change have combined to worsen the threat of wildfire.

Bono and The Edge have performed a surprise concert at a bomb shelter in Kyiv.
The U2 stars, who were invited to perform by President Volodymyr Zelensky, played to a small crowd of fans including members of Ukraine’s armed forces.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, the Irish band wrote: “President @ZelenskyyUa invited us to perform in Kyiv as a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people and so that’s what we’ve come to do. – Bono and The Edge #StandWithUkraine.”

In videos shared online, the Dublin natives were seen performing the Ben E King classic ‘Stand By Me’ alongside Ukrainian soldiers in the subway station that now serves as a bomb shelter.
Bono praised Ukraine’s fight for “freedom” during the performance in central Kyiv, where the frontman also issued his own prayer “for peace”.
The 61-year-old also sang U2 classics ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’, ‘Desire’ and ‘With or Without You’.

During the gig, Bono said: “The people in Ukraine are not just fighting for your own freedom, you are fighting for all of us who love freedom.”
“We pray that you will enjoy some of that peace soon,” he added.

UK recession warning: Horror forecast after Bank of England interest rate update
THE UK is at greater risk of a recession, according to economic experts following the increase in interest rates.
Martin Lewis explains inflation and energy bills
With the cost of living crisis hitting families hard and the Bank of England recently raising interest rates, many households are more inclined to keep their money rather than spend it. However, the EY Item Club warns that leaving the roughly £180bn in pandemic savings across the UK untouched “raises the risk of recession”. The experts’ projection reflects a similar warning by the Bank of England.
It said the UK will tip into a slow-burning recession due to the cut in consumer spending.
Consumer spending is estimated to generate around £2 in every £3 of GDP in the UK.
The EY Item Club forecasted in March that the UK would grow 4.2 percent this year.
They have now downgraded that expectation to just above four percent.
But they add that there is a likelihood the UK will fall into recession later this year if “consumer spending does not meet expectations, or if October’s energy price cap review results in a higher-than-expected rise in bills”.
The tightening of household spending is not just due to soaring energy prices - it is the result of inflation across all goods.
The annual inflation rate is currently placed at 6.7 percent, the highest since 1991.
Compared to the rate of increase in earnings, inflation outpaces it by 2.7 percentage points.
As a result the UK is experiencing the worst deterioration in living standards since 1977.
And that isn’t the worst of it, as the Bank of England predicts inflation will scale up to just over 10 percent by October.

Economists connect their predictions for a UK recession with whether consumers dip into their pandemic savings, suggesting that not doing so will spell doom for the economy.
Martin Beck, chief economic adviser to the EY Item Club, told City A.M.: “Accumulated savings are not a panacea for the economy.
“There is a significant risk that consumers, faced with a sustained squeeze on their finances, may cut spending in response”.
GDP growth is further hampered by a predicted slowdown in business investment.

This is partly due to supply chain issues as a result of China locking down parts of the country due to Covid, blocking the chains.
Project44, an online supply chain tracker, said on April 21 that Shanghai import container wait time had jumped by 163 percent from 4.6 days on March 28 to 12.1 days as of April 15.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also generated significant geopolitical uncertainty as alliances are redefined and supply chains realigned.
This further serves to discourage business investment, dragging the economy down. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1607369/UK-recession-warning-economy-inflation-interest-rates-bank-of-england | 2022-05-09T08:47:14Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1607369/UK-recession-warning-economy-inflation-interest-rates-bank-of-england | true | 1 |
Group gets enough signatures to put recreational marijuana on the ballot in November
MISSOURI (KMOV) -- Legal Missouri, the group trying to get adult-use marijuana legalized in the state, announced Sunday it received more than 385,000 signatures to put the initiative on the ballot.
The petitions were sent to the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office in the effort to get recreational marijuana on the ballot in the November elections. The proposed amendment would allow those 21 and older to buy and grow marijuana.
Read: More signatures needed to put recreational marijuana on the ballot in Missouri this November
News 4 reported on April 19 the group had around 200,000 signatures.
Recreational marijuana would be taxed at 6 percent, which could bring in as much as $40 million in tax revenue per year. Medical marijuana is already legal in Missouri.

Hydrocephalus Market Industry Forecast Report 2022, Featuring Profiles of Aesculap, Integra Lifesciences, Karl Storz, Proteses, Medtronic and Natus Medical
Global Hydrocephalus Market
Dublin, May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Hydrocephalus Market by Cause, Type, Diagnosis, Treatment and Age: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global hydrocephalus market was valued at $6907.5 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $10178.6 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2030.
One of the prominent factors responsible for the growth in the hydrocephalus market includes the increase in the number of hydrocephalic patients, which subsequently leads to the increase in the number of shunting procedures across the world. For instance, according to the hydrocephalus association, in 2021, over 36,000 shunt surgeries are performed each year (one every 15 minutes) and more than half of them represent emergencies.
Moreover, high demand for neurosurgery devices & accessories for hydrocephalus management and a rise in cases of neurological disorders, owing to congenital abnormalities and lifestyle diseases as well as a rise in incidences of brain and nerve injuries, boosts the demand for hydrocephalic shunts.
Furthermore, the key developmental strategies such as product approval, partnership, and launch of various novel hydrocephalic valves by key players are further projected to propel the growth of the market. For instance, in 2021, Anuncia Inc., an emerging leader in Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) management, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) breakthrough device designation for its ReFlow System Mini intended for the treatment of CSF disorders requiring shunting such as hydrocephalus.
Furthermore, in 2020, Aesculap, Inc., in partnership with the Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co. KG (MIETHKE), announced the launch of the M.blue valve, the latest generation of Hydrocephalus valve technology. Its unique gravitational technology is integrated with a fixed differential pressure unit in one valve, allowing for a simple, position-dependent solution. These strategies are certainly enhancing the company's footprints in the Hydrocephalus market, thereby contributing to the overall growth of the market.
However, serious damages caused by infections and malfunctions of existing shunts greatly limit the market growth. Some deleterious complications include irreversible brain injuries, meningitis, endocarditis, traumatic perforation, tricuspid regurgitation, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and others. For instance, according to the Hydrocephalus Association, approximately 50% of shunts in the pediatric population fail within two years of placement, requiring repeated neurological operations. On the contrary, advancements in shunt technology for reducing shunt complications are projected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth.
The hydrocephalus market is segmented on the basis of cause, type, diagnosis, treatment, age and region. On the basis of cause, the market is categorized into congenital hydrocephalus and acquired hydrocephalus. By type, the market is segmented into communicating hydrocephalus and non-communicating hydrocephalus. The communicating hydrocephalus is categorized into normal pressure hydrocephalus, ex-vacuo hydrocephalus. The diagnosis segment is fragmented into CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound. Furthermore, on the basis of treatment, the market is categorized into surgery shunt insertion and ventriculostomy.
The age is categorized into Neonate & Pediatrics and Adults. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The crime branch of Kerala Police on Monday began interrogating Malayalam actor Kavya Madhavan in connection with the actor assault case in which Madhavan’s husband and actor Dileep is one of the accused, the police said.
A team of crime branch officials reached Madhavan’s residence in Aluva near Kochi on Monday after she refused to turn up before the probe team, officers said, adding that she is currently being questioned at her residence. A month ago, the police had served a notice to the actor to appear for interrogation.
The police action stemmed from the leakage of an audio clip of a conversation, purportedly between Dileep’s brother-in-law T N Sooraj and their family friend Sarath, in which Sooraj was heard saying that Dileep had no role in the incident but it was executed at the behest of Madhavan, who had a grudge towards the survivor.
In the audio clip, Sooraj was heard saying that earlier Madhavan used to be close to the survivor in the case. Sooraj also pointed out, in the audio clip, that the prime accused Sunil Kumar alias Pulsar Suni had gone to Madhavan’s boutique after the assault.
Best of Express Premium
The crime branch had recovered the audio clips from the mobile phones of Sooraj as part of the probe into another case pertaining to an alleged conspiracy to annihilate police officials who had investigated the assault case, officers said. Earlier this year, the crime branch had registered a case against Dileep, his brother Anoop, brother-in-law Sooraj and two of their friends following the revelation of director Balachandra Kumar that Dileep had conspired to target the officials. Subsequently, the police had seized digital devices used by Dileep and others.
Earlier, the police had claimed that Dileep had a grudge towards the survivor in the assault case after she allegedly revealed his affair with Madhavan to his first wife Manju Warrier. Dileep had legally separated from Warrier before marrying Madhavan.

Key issues in the Northern Ireland election campaign
The Northern Ireland Protocol, the possibility of a border poll, the cost-of-living crisis and the future of the Stormont powersharing Executive were among the key issues during the Northern Ireland election campaign.
– The Northern Ireland Protocol
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has said repeatedly that the post-Brexit protocol has cast a long shadow over Northern Ireland’s politics and it has been at the heart of debate throughout the campaign.
Sir Jeffrey’s party quit the powersharing Executive earlier this year in protest at the new trading arrangements which unionists see as an Irish Sea border and he has vowed not to re-enter government until his concerns are addressed.
The DUP leader has joined with TUV leader Jim Allister at several rallies in opposition to the protocol. However, Doug Beattie, leader of the Ulster Unionists, which also opposes the protocol, has refused to take part in the rallies, claiming they are increasing tensions in loyalist areas.
Nationalist parties and the cross-community Alliance Party have played down the importance of the protocol as an election issue, stating voters on the doorsteps are more concerned with bread-and-butter issues.
They have said the protocol is a result of Brexit and was introduced to mitigate some of its impacts. They claimed issues with the protocol will be resolved between the UK Government and the EU, and it is not a reason to collapse the Stormont Executive.
– Border poll
The potential of a referendum on Irish unity has emerged as a theme during the election campaign.
However, it has been the unionist DUP which has forced it to the forefront of the agenda, repeatedly claiming that Sinn Fein would use any electoral victory as a mandate to call on the Secretary of State to set a date for a border poll.
Sinn Fein’s vice-president Michelle O’Neill, while acknowledging her party’s desire for a united Ireland, has sought to play down the issue in the short term, instead focusing on issues such as the cost-of-living crisis, the economy and health service waiting lists.
Other parties have accused the DUP of trying to scare people into voting for them by claiming that they are the only party which can stop Sinn Fein from topping the poll.
– The future of the Stormont Executive
Northern Ireland has been without a functioning Executive for several months after DUP First Minister Paul Givan quit his post in protest at the Northern Ireland Protocol.
That position could be set to continue after the election as the DUP has insisted its concerns over Northern Ireland’s place within the UK’s internal market be addressed before they agreed to form an Executive.
Sinn Fein, the SDLP and Alliance Party have all called for an Executive to be formed immediately after the completion of the election.
The Ulster Unionist leader Doug Beattie has said he wants to see a period of intensive negotiation over a programme for government before he agrees to join an Executive.
Both the DUP and UUP have also refused to state if they would nominate for the position of deputy first minister in the event that Sinn Fein won the election and was entitled to nominate for first minister.
– Cost-of-living crisis
All of the main parties have pledged measures to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
Surging fuel and food prices have impacted most families in Northern Ireland and it has become a prevalent issue during election canvassing.
Sinn Fein, the SDLP, Alliance Party and the UUP have said that Stormont currently has £300 million which could be used on short-term measures to tackle soaring prices, but it cannot be spent because there is no powersharing Executive.
The DUP has disputed this and claims the money can be spent by ministers without an Executive.
All of the parties have called on the Westminster government to do more to alleviate the suffering caused by the cost-of-living crisis.
– Health service
Northern Ireland currently has the longest hospital waiting lists in the UK and emergency departments, GPs and ambulance services have been under intense pressure in recent months.
All of the parties agree that services need to be reformed and are in need of increased funding.
However, several party leaders have raised concern this cannot happen while Northern Ireland is without a functioning Executive.
Earlier this year, Stormont finance minister Conor Murphy attempted to introduce a three-year budget with a priority given to health service funding, but he said the budget could not be progressed after the Executive collapsed.

On a humid August afternoon in 2020, two caskets – one silver, one white – sat by holes in the ground at a small, graveside service in the town of Travelers Rest, S.C.
The family had just lost a mom and dad, both to COVID.
"They died five days apart," says Allison Leaver, who now lives in Maryland with her husband and kids.
When Leaver's parents died that summer, it was a crushing tragedy. And there was no life insurance or burial policy to help with the expense.
"We just figured we were just going to have to put that on our credit cards and pay it off, and that's how we were going to deal with that," the public school teacher says with a laugh of resignation.
But then, in April of 2021, FEMA offered to reimburse funeral expenses — up to $9,000, which is roughly the average cost of a funeral. And it was retroactive.
Leaver applied immediately.
"If this horrible thing had to happen, at least we weren't going to be out the cash for it," she says.
A year into the program, the federal government has paid more than $2 billion to cover funeral costs for COVID victims. More than 300,000 families have received reimbursement, averaging $6,500. But fewer than half of families have started applications.
Many surviving family members have run into challenges or still don't know the money is available.
For those who know
FEMA launched a big call center, hiring 4,000 contractors in Denver. Survivors must call to initiate the process, as applications are not accepted online. FEMA received a million calls on the first day, leaving many waiting on hold.
Once Leaver talked to a representative, she started assembling the death certificates and receipts from the funeral home and cemetery. She uploaded them online — and heard nothing for months.
Eventually, she called and learned the receipts she submitted had different signatures — one from her husband, another from her sister. That was a problem. Even though it was a joint funeral, in order to get the full amount per parent, the government required separate receipts. Leaver says she was frustrated, but determined to get it done "come hell or high water." Plus, she says, it was summer break, and she had time.
But many haven't applied or don't have time.
Clerical challenges have discouraged some participation, especially for those whose loved ones died early in the pandemic, says Jaclyn Rothenberg, FEMA's chief spokesperson.
"Some people with death certificates didn't necessarily have COVID listed as the cause of death," she says. "We do have a responsibility to our taxpayer stewards to make sure that that is, in fact, the cause."
Rothenberg says FEMA is trying to work with everyone. Even though the agency has spent the $2 billion initially budgeted, she says there's a new pot of stimulus funding from the American Rescue Plan Act.
For those who don't know
NPR analyzed FEMA's data compared to official COVID fatalities through March 15, 2022. Washington, D.C., led the nation with applications for 77% of deaths. States clustered in the South had the highest participation rate in the program, with North Carolina approaching applications for two-thirds of deaths. Other states remain well below a 50% participation rate. In Oregon and Washington, less than one in three deaths resulted in an application.
It's generally not a question of eligibility. There are no income limits, and life insurance does not preclude participation. And there is still no deadline. One of the few disqualifiers (detailed here) is if a funeral was pre-paid.
"We need people to continue helping us get the word out," Rothenberg says. "We know we have more work to do."
FEMA is launching an outreach campaign to promote the program since there's plenty of money left. The agency is focusing on the populous states of California, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas, and efforts are targeting vulnerable populations.
The government is also leaning on community groups connected to those who most need to know about the money.
COVID Survivors for Change, founded by Chris Kocher, has been helping people navigate the process, including through a Facebook webinar.
"We were able to connect people to some of the survivors that had been through that process already just to help them walk through it," he says.
Many just need someone to complete the application for them.
Stephanie Smith of Carlisle, Ky., lost her father to COVID. Her mother, who was 83 at the time, had no chance.
"She's a very smart, spunky lady, but she's never used a computer," Smith says.
At a minimum, applying requires scanning or faxing.
"She probably would not have attempted to do it because the whole process would have been overwhelming for her," she says.
But Smith was able to jump through the hoops without much trouble. And $9,000, she says, is enough to make life considerably easier as her mom adjusts to being a COVID widow.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Editorial Board
It’s no secret that Republican state legislatures are working overtime to alter election laws in ways to twist American democracy to their favor. Having imposed rules that make it harder to vote and to discourage those who can’t vote in person, the newest point of attack is to threaten election officials with fines and jail time.
Republican-dominated state legislatures are looking at ways to punish election administrators if they stray — even by accident — from increasingly cumbersome new voting restrictions. At least 10 states have passed or are considering laws that could send election officials to prison or heavily fine them for technical violations of voting laws. Suddenly, that job opening at McDonald’s is looking awfully tempting.
All of these measures are Republican responses to alleged voting fraud during the 2016 and 2020 election that never actually happened. An Associated Press review found only 475 disputed ballots out of 25.5 million cast in the 2020 presidential election. After the 2016 election, then-President Donald Trump even formed a commission to investigate what he alleged was massive fraud (to explain his loss to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes), but the commission disbanded after coming up empty.
Among the few examples investigations have turned up were of Republicans attempting to vote twice or in other people’s names. Trump’s final chief of staff, Mark Meadows, was caught listing on his voter registration form a residence in North Carolina that he never lived in. He also reportedly was registered to vote in three states at the same time.
Strangely, Republicans seem unconcerned when confronted with real examples of vote fraud like that. Yet they’re doing everything possible to concoct fake scenarios of vote fraud that consistently target groups known to vote Democratic. And to escalate the sense of hysteria, they are concocting potential situations that would allow them to frighten away election officials.
Texas, Florida, Iowa, Arizona and Kentucky have established felony offenses for technical infractions. Arizona threatens election officials with up to 2 1/2 years in prison and loss of voting rights for sending a mail-in ballot if a voter hasn’t requested one. Florida established fines of up to $25,000 if ballot drop boxes are left unsupervised. Kentucky threatens a five-year sentence for any election official who accepts “anything of value” to help with an election. That could be construed as a free cup of coffee or a doughnut.
Then there are laws preventing volunteers from handing out so much as a bottle of water to people waiting in line to vote.
The net effect isn’t just to make democratic participation harder but to actively discourage the officials who make elections possible. There once was a time when both parties embraced let the best candidate win democratic competition. But that formula apparently no longer works for Republicans, so their next best option is to destroy democracy itself. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/opinion-republican-lawmakers-now-are-looking-for-ways-to-punish-election-officials/article_5ad224fc-70e3-5123-a9b5-dc7cfe264d14.html | 2022-05-09T09:18:05Z | https://www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/opinion-republican-lawmakers-now-are-looking-for-ways-to-punish-election-officials/article_5ad224fc-70e3-5123-a9b5-dc7cfe264d14.html | false | 3 |

Noah Centineo shot to fame with his role as Peter Kavinsky on Netflix's famed teen romance franchise, To All the Boys I've Loved Before. The film made Centineo an instant internet heartthrob as his charming smile made warmed hearts all across the globe. Before starring in To All the Boys franchise, Noah also starred as Jesus Adams Foster in the final three seasons of the television series The Fosters and also the Disney Channel film How to Build a Better Boy. Following his massive success as Peter Kavisnky though, he also bagged other Netflix projects such as s Sierra Burgess Is a Loser and The Perfect Date where he once again showed his rather charming style and his ability to make anyone blush with that cute smile. As the actor turns 25, we take a look at his Instagram and find some of the silliest and goofiest selfies that he has posted over the years. The actor surely knows how to make his followers laugh and also adore him at the same time. This selfie captures him thinking about something. While sharing the same, in his captions he wrote, "Brace yourselves."

Noah Centineo shared this photo from his quarantine time we assume and hence he looks visibly exhausted yet cool thanks to those shades. Sharing the same, he wrote in the captions, "Day 9 - Nothing but Calls, zooms, emails and enough chamomile tea to drown a monk."
This selfie captures Noah Centineo in a playful mood as he sticks his tongue out to pose goofily for the snap. The actor is seen in a different look in this picture as he dons a cap and is also seen showing off his beard.
The Black Adam actor seemed to be flaunting his physique when he shared this shirtless snap on his Instagram. Posting it in 2018, the actor shared this photo among a series of other casual photos as he wrote in the captions, "Scrolling through my camera roll."
With this snap, Noah seemed to be flaunting his bearded look which has been a rare sight. The actor shared this photo on his Instagram and wrote, "Little update: Now that I’m unemployed again, I’m going to reattempt to grow a beard."
This adorable snap captures Noah Centineo flaunting his perfect smile. Sharing the photo, the actor revealed that it's a throwback click from 2016. The actor's sunkissed look and million-dollar smile are certainly the highlight in this one.

Tasmanian LGBTIQA+ advocates say Tasmania will be the biggest loser if the Morrison Government’s Religious Discrimination Bill is re-introduced and have called on the Prime Minister to show what policies he has that will reduce levels of discrimination against LGBTIQA+ people and the mental ill-health discrimination leads to.
The call comes after Scott Morrison’s commitment to bring back the Religious Discrimination Bill if his Government is re-elected.
On the campaign trail this week the PM was quizzed over his plans to have another run at introducing the long promised legislation that has been redrafted several times. Scott Morrison said he was determined to pass the bill, and would not accept any amendments to the associated Sex Discrimination Act next time round.
Tasmanian rights advocates say the Religious Discrimination Bill sought to weaken Tasmania’s gold-standard Anti-Discrimination Act in at least two critical areas, protections against derogatory language and discrimination protections for teachers in faith-based schools.
Meanwhile, a survey released on Wednesday by the Tasmanian Liberal Government shows that tackling discrimination, mental ill-health and prejudice in schools are top priorities for the state’s LGBTIQA+ community.
Equality Tasmania spokesperson, Rodney Croome, said all Tasmanians will lose if the Religious Discrimination Bill is revived.
“The Religious Discrimination Bill took away existing discrimination protections from people with disability, religious minorities, workers, women and LGBTIQ+ people.”
“Tasmania was the biggest loser under the Bill because our anti-discrimination laws are the best in Australia.”
“The Religious Discrimination Bill was a direct attack on the more accepting and inclusive place Tasmania has become.”
“We call on the Federal Government to follow the example of its Tasmanian counterpart and listen to what the LGBTIQA+ community actually wants.”
“The Tasmanian Government’s survey identified LGBTIQA-specific mental health services, inclusive health care and inclusive schools as some of our top priorities.”
“We call on the federal government to explain exactly how it will reduce anti-LGBTIQA+ discrimination and the mental ill-health discrimination leads to.”
The Religious Discrimination Bill was withdrawn by the Government before it was debated in the Senate because it was amended to protect LGBTIQ+ students in faith-based schools. Labor voted against the override of Tasmania’s protections against derogatory speech, but for the override of protections for teachers.
The Greens and Bass Liberal MP, Bridget Archer, voted against both overrides with Tasmanian Senator, Jacqui Lambie, promising to do the same in the Senate.

Ranga Mataire — Writing Black
MORE than just a show of democracy in motion, the just ended ZANU-PF Youth League Conference sent a clear message to the African continent and the world: the revolutionary liberation spirit is still intact in Southern Africa.
There was no better way of showing the regeneration and the resurgence of the revolutionary anti-imperial spirit than the solidarity messages delivered by youth representatives from sister liberation movements in the region.
The presence of youth representatives from Chama Cha Mapinduzi from Tanzania, Frelimo from Mozambique, Swapo from Namibia, ANC from South Africa, Burundi's CNDD-FDD and MPLA from Angola sent a clear message to all and sundry that the future of Southern Africa is in solid hands.
If there is anything the West fears most in Africa, it is the rejuvenation of historical bonds that spearheaded anti-colonial struggles in Africa.
This fear is shown by their monetary and material investment in some pliable post-colonial political parties whose sole existence is first to villainies the whole essence of African liberation, and, secondly, to foist upon Africa regimes they can control.
It is not an exaggeration to state that the whole southern African region is facing an existential threat from erstwhile colonial masters, keen on reversing the liberation map by sponsoring pliant regimes.
The holding of the ZANU-PF Youth League Congress with the attendant strong solidarity bonds from sister parties in the region have ruffled the West's stooges, who are now attempting to use all manner of tactics to herd the masses into acts of destabilisation.
In a week in which social media was awash with details of how the American Embassy has fervently sponsored anti-Zimbabwe acts, literally making them active participants in the political arena, their toadying henchmen have been desperate to come to the Master's defence.
Historical baggage is weighing heavily on the recently rebranded CCC, whose leader is playing hide and seek with his senior colleagues, who have grown weary of being in a political outfit lacking constructional and ideological direction.
History has shown that the absence of a foundational ideology that glues the membership together has been the major source of divisions that have often led to numerous splits as divergent individual interests manifest after every electoral drubbing.
Devoid of an ideological direction, the CCC and its surrogates are now clutching onto anything that may make them relevant in the eyes of the electorate.
Of course, their recent poor showing in the by-elections has unsettled the leadership, which is now in a panic mode ahead of the 2023 elections.
Forget all the pretence about representing the people. This is a political outfit that suffers from rootlessness and has over the years managed to hoodwink some into thinking that it is a genuine outfit.
Charles Mungoshi (May His Soul Rest in Peace) alludes to the malaise afflicting this outfit in his seminal book "Waiting for the Rain". The main protagonist, Lucifer, suffers from serious alienation and identifies more with the priest than with his own father.
He is so de-familiarised from his own community and blames his own people for their circumstances, and has no historical consciousness of forces at play.
So, as the family prepares for his departure to Europe, the old man has something to say to his alienated grandson.
"Remember you are Black and no soap will wash away that colour off your face. And no amount of sleeping with the (palest) of their womenfolk nor any amount of eating at the same table with them will ever make you clean enough in their eyes," the Old Man says to a disinterested Lucifer.
And in his address to delegates at the ZANU-PF 7th Youth League Conference, President Mnangagwa in a way echoes the words of the Old Man in "Waiting for the Rain" when he says the youths must not be like Lucifer, who is willing to disown his own clansmen for some trinkets of silver from the white masters.
President Mnangagwa exhorted the delegates to "strengthen collaboration and partnership towards youth empowerment as well as modernisation, industrialisation and prosperity of our respective countries."
He reminded the youths that the independence, freedom and democracy enjoyed today came through the painful sacrifices and bloodshed of many sons and daughters of this great region.
"The baton has been passed to you. Now it is your turn to defend the revolution, to defend the party and to defend the country," the President said.
The need to defend the revolution can never be overemphasised considering neo-imperial forces having permeated our body politic by recruiting some among us to do their bidding.
It must never escape us that the goal of African unity is to defend our sovereignty, our territorial integrity and our independence including eradicating all forms of colonialism from Africa.
The war in Ukraine has taught us that unless we speak with one voice as Africans, we are bound to continue to face some selective treatment from those who claim to be custodians of flourishing democracies.
Videos of Africans pleading for help and showing discrimination went viral on social media where authorities were pointing weapons at students who were unarmed.
Some had the audacity to accuse black people of being uncivilised enough to be rescued. There is an alarming level of discrimination in Europe which reminds Africans that we are either together or we perish.
What is needed today, after liberating the state, is to work on liberating the mind. Liberation movements have the mammoth task of not only delivering the liberation promise of prosperity, but to embark on a deliberate institutional mental decolonisation programme.
We have so many Lucifers amongst us who suffer from rootlessness and alienation because of lack of knowledge of the country's historical circumstances.
They are easily persuaded to frown upon any positive development in their own country because of their affinity to white imperial interests. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202205090164.html | 2022-05-09T09:49:36Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202205090164.html | false | 1 |

“It would be able to accommodate 1,502 minor children and 300 women,” the jail authorities said.
The jail authorities, according to details, have been sent to the United States to understand the construction of their prisons on modern planning.

China keeping inflation at bay, US stocks lower, gas prices nationwide approaching new record
FOX Business is providing real-time updates on the markets, commodities and all the most active stocks on the move.
Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since January on Monday as slumping equity markets continued to hurt cryptocurrencies, which are currently trading in line with so-called riskier assets like tech stocks.
Bitcoin dropped to as low as $33,266 in morning trade, testing the January low of $32,951. A fall below that level would be it lowest since July last year.
It then steadied to trade around $33,500, down 1.4%.At nearly 4 a.m. ET, Coindesk reported Bitcoin continued to trade at approximately $33,500, down 3.23%, while Ethereum and Dogecoin also traded lower at approximately $2,440, down 4.39% and 12.08 cents, down 3.94%, respectively.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1.5% last week, and has lost 22% year to date, hurt by the prospect of persistent inflation forcing the U.S. Federal Reserve to hike rates despite slowing growth. Nasdaq futures were down a further 0.8% in Asia trade on Monday morning.
- Coindesk contributed to this report.
As inflation soars around the world, the world’s second-largest economy has kept it at bay.
Consumer prices in China increased just 1.5% in March from a year earlier, after rising 0.9% in 2021 from the year before.
By contrast, the U.S. annual inflation rate was 8.5% in March and 7.5% in 2021, the steepest since 1982. In the eurozone, annual inflation reached a record 7.5% in April. Some 71% of 109 emerging and developing economies experienced 5% or higher inflation in 2021, twice as large as at the end of 2020, the World Bank says.
Although Chinese inflation is expected to tick up a bit more when fresh data is released this week, most economists believe it won’t surpass the government’s full-year target of around 3% in 2022.
Partly that is because consumer demand, an important source of U.S. inflation, is extremely weak in China right now. It is also because China uses aggressive tactics, including price controls and protectionist trade actions, to keep imported inflation from flowing through to consumers.
Analysts say while those strategies have helped China in the short run, they have long-term costs, and would be hard to replicate in more market-oriented economies.
U.S. stocks were trending lower early Monday morning as first-quarter earnings season is winding down, with about 20 companies in the S&P 500 set to report.
Monday’s highlights include Tyson Foods, Duke Energy, BioNTech, Coty and Palantir ahead of the opening bell.
In the afternoon, IAC/Interactive, AMC Entertainment, Trex and International Flavors & Fragrances among many others will report.
Currently, 436 companies in the S&P 500, or almost 90% of the benchmark index, have posted January through March results, and so far the numbers are well ahead of forecasts.
U.S. futures fell following sharp declines on Wall Street last week.
The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. rose early Monday morning to $4.328, up $0.11 cents from Sunday, according to the latest numbers from AAA.
The price of a gallon of regular gasoline nationwide is now $0.02 from the all-time record high.
The price on Saturday was $4.301.
The record high was $4.33, set on Friday March 11, 2022.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk ignited a firestorm on social media by suggesting that he might die "under mysterious circumstances."
While some on Twitter rushed to the conclusion that he might fear the Clintons, it seems the CEO may have been referencing a potential threat from Russia.
"If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya," Musk, who is also the CEO of SpaceX and who recently acquired Twitter, posted on the social media platform.
When Musk's mother Maye Musk responded, "That's not funny," her son replied, "Sorry! I will do my best to stay alive."
Many commentators suggested that Musk might be afraid of former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, playing off of the conspiracy theory that the Clintons were involved in Jeffrey Epstein's suicide.
"Do you have dirt on the Clintons?" digital strategist Greg Price asked."Wait… what do you know about Hillary Clinton?" comedian Tim Young asked.
"The Clintons" began trending on Twitter, in part due to Musk's tweet, which garnered more than 52,000 "retweets" Sunday night.
Oil prices slipped on Monday, along with stock markets in Asia, sparked by weak China data and fears a global recession could dampen oil demand, with investors eyeing European Union talks on a Russian oil embargo that could tighten global supplies.
Brent crude lost 41 cents, or 0.4%, to $111.98 a barrel by 0603 GMT.U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $109.24 a barrel, down 53 cents, or 0.5%.
Both contracts briefly turned positive after falling more than $1 earlier in the session.
Global financial markets have also been spooked by concerns over interest rate hikes and recession worries as tighter and wider COVID-19 lockdowns in China led to slower export growth in the world's No. 2 economy in April.
Gold prices edged down on Monday as elevated U.S. Treasury yields and a firm dollar pressured demand for greenback-priced bullion.
Spot gold fell 0.1% to $1,880.56 per ounce, as of 0049 GMT in Asia, while U.S. gold futures were down 0.2% to $1,879.30.
While gold is seen as a safe store of value during times of political and economic crises, it is highly sensitive to rising short-term U.S. interest rates and bond yields, which raise the opportunity cost of holding bullion.

North Texas Soccer Club hosted the Tacoma Defiance at home on Sunday afternoon after earlier this year defeating Tacoma in a penalty shootout on the road.
In a repeat of the earlier game, North Texas SC and Tacoma Defiance tied 1-1 as Tacoma Defiance won on penalties 4-2.
The Game
Coach Kah made a number of changes to the starting lineup. Nico Carrera returned between the pipes after being with the USYNT. Chase Niece replaced Lucas Bartlett in the backline. Thomas Lacerda made his first start for Derek Waldeck. Blaine Ferri replaced Jose Mulato and played as a winger.
Tarik Scott replaced Tomás Lacerda at halftime.
Defender Paul Amedume got his first goal for North Texas SC and opened the scoring from a loose ball in the box, in the 50th minute.
Isaiah Parker was sent off after accumulating a second yellow card in the 61st minute.
Nolan Norris substituted for Blaine Ferri in the 62nd minute.
Tacoma leveled the game from a loose ball in the penalty box from a freekick in the 69th minute.
Santiago Ferreira made way for Derek Waldeck in the 79th minute.
Blake Pope came in for Tarik Scott in the 86th minute.
The game ended 1-1, and in a repeat from the first encounter, the game would be decided by penalties.
North Texas’ penalties went as follows: Andre Costa (missed), Derek Waldeck (scored), Collin Smith (missed), Blake Pope (scored).
Tacoma won the shootout 4-2 and gained 2 points while North Texas came away with 1 point.
Thoughts & Takeaways
Pressure
Both North Texas and Tacoma were not afraid to apply pressure and press their opponent to force a turnover and win the ball.
“I think we dominated the game,” Coach Kah said of his team in the game. “We had a couple of chances and we have to impose ourselves in the game. I appreciate the reliance and the desire to not give up. We had to play a man down but we fought to get a point by playing and being in the game. I am very proud of this group.”
Tacoma and North Texas handled the opposition press differently which was dictated by each team’s game plan. Most notably for North Texas, North Texas preferred to bypass lines and play long balls (out of necessity while playing a man down) to overcome the press.
“If you look at our game overall, we had found the ball, found the spaces, and we played with momentum,” Kah explained. “They had to play long balls but for us, we had to adapt and play with more long balls out of necessity.”
North Texas has started the season playing a short and quick passing game to buildup the attack with an occasional long-ball to switch the play or to find a player in space.
Pivot Point
Interestingly, Santiago Ferreira, positionally, played in the “6” spot but functioned more as a pivot point than a sole defensive midfielder.
Ferreira has been a quiet yet consistent and key contributor to the North Texas development phase of the attack. Ferreira acts as a link and can make the final pass to put the attacking line in favorable scoring positions.
“I started the season as playing as an eight,” Ferreira said of playing deeper. “In training, I started to play as the six and I feel comfortable and we are just wanting to see how it goes.”
Santiago, in this game, played deeper and more centrally which takes advantage of his ability to string passes. Playing deeper also allowed him more time on the ball while “reading” the field in front of him so he could pick out the best possible pass.
“It’s a position that he hasn’t played in a while but I think that it is a position that suits him well,” Kah said of Ferreira playing deeper. “He has an engine and it’s great for the team. I think that he is getting used to the position and it will be an extra dimension for how we want to play. He is a very intelligent player and he sees things. He can link up the back four and the front three.”
North Texas SC will host Vancouver Whitecaps 2 on Saturday, May 14th, at home, at 9 PM Central. | https://3rddegree.net/tacoma-defiant-in-north-texas-shootout-win | 2022-05-09T09:55:35Z | https://3rddegree.net/tacoma-defiant-in-north-texas-shootout-win | false | 2 |

White House unveils pact with internet companies to reduce prices
WILMINGTON, Del., May 9 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration has secured commitments from 20 internet providers including Verizon VZ.N, Comcast CMCSA.O and AT&T T.N to cut prices or increase internet speeds for millions of U.S. families, administration officials said.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil the agreements on Monday at a ceremony with executives from companies that provide internet services.
The commitments are part of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which is an aspect of the infrastructure law passed with support from Republicans and Democrats last year. It helps eligible American families reduce their internet bills by as much as $30 a year, the White House said.
With the new commitments, tens of millions of households that are eligible for the ACP will receive internet service free of charge, it said.
Households with low incomes can qualify for the program. Receiving federal assistance through other programs, such as food subsidies or the Medicaid low-income health insurance programs, also makes a household eligible.
A senior administration official told reporters on a conference call that the companies had made the commitments voluntarily.

- GRAMMY® AWARD-NOMINATED, MULTI PLATINUM, AND CHART-TOPPING SINGER/SONGWRITER WILL TAKE TO THE PEPSI STAGE LIVE IN PARIS ON MAY 28TH AHEAD OF THE WORLD'S MOST WATCHED ANNUAL SPORTING EVENT -
NEW YORK, May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- #PLAYTOINSPIRE -- Today, UEFA and Pepsi® are excited to reveal that GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum, and chart-topping singer/songwriter, Camila Cabello will headline this year's UEFA Champions League final Opening Ceremony presented by Pepsi. Now in its sixth year, the Opening Ceremony will see the 'Bam Bam' 'Señorita,' and 'Havana' hitmaker take centre stage to kick off one of the world's biggest sporting events and bring the energy and atmosphere of the UEFA Champions League final to millions of viewers tuning in around the world.
The 5-minute performance is set to be a breath-taking carnival-themed celebration, brought to life through a stunning display of costumes, dancers and musicians, choreographed to deliver a high-energy spectacular to fans in the stadium, and at home, live from the Stade de France in Paris on Saturday 28th May. The Opening Ceremony production will see her perform a medley of her chart-topping hits alongside new releases from the highly-acclaimed third studio album 'Familia'.
Camila Cabello commented: "I'm so excited to be taking to the stage at UEFA Champions League final in Paris this month! I intend on putting on a really special show, bringing together the spirit of my Latin heritage and a feeling of togetherness for sports and music fans all over the world - I can't wait!"
To announce Camila's performance at the UEFA Champions League final, Pepsi shared a short video via its YouTube channel offering a glimpse of what fans can expect in Paris. In the clip, Camila is surrounded by a developing avenue of playful animations and floral patterns, which take inspiration from the iconic Oaxaca carnival in Mexico. The vibrant colours have purposefully been used to channel the feeling of togetherness and celebrate people of all walks of life coming together, showcasing how the power of music and sport can unite people all around the world.
Pepsi's Global Marketing Vice President, Eric Melis said: "Pepsi has been working with UEFA to build the Opening Ceremony platform since 2016 and we're delighted to be returning to live stadium shows and bringing Camila Cabello to the stage this year. Pepsi has a long and rich heritage in entertainment and this year's show will not disappoint as we bring elements of Camila's Latina spirit to one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year."
Each year, the Opening Ceremony sees some of the hottest music artists in the world put on an electrifying, show-stopping performance that brings huge buzz to the UEFA Champions League final in true Pepsi style. The 2022 Opening Ceremony is no different and will be running across the international Pepsi trademark, which includes Pepsi, Pepsi Black / MAX and Diet Pepsi.
UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein commented: "We are excited to be collaborating with our long-standing partners at Pepsi for yet another highly entertaining Opening Ceremony performance at the 2022 UEFA Champions League final, these events always provide the ultimate cross-pollination of sport and music which we know fans love to watch – and Pepsi is the perfect partner to help us do that. We know that Camila Cabello is one of the world's most popular artists and she will help us to build on our fans' excitement for the Opening Ceremony performance with a show football fans will never forget."
Camila is also among several music and football talent who will be supporting #Football4Refugees, an appeal launched by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to unite the global football community to raise funds for displaced people around the world. Last week, Pepsi announced that it will be the first global brands to partner with UNHCR, and PepsiCo's philanthropic arm, the PepsiCo Foundation, donated $1million to #Football4Refugees bringing the company's total humanitarian relief pledged to the global refugee crisis to nearly $15 million. Camila will support the initiative by participating in the brand's 'Pass It On' social initiative, which will see the singer post a short clip across her social channels encouraging her online followers to donate to the cause. More information can be found via https://donate.unhcr.org/global/en/football4refugees
This year's UEFA Champions League final Opening Ceremony performance will air in over 200 countries and territories around the world, just minutes before the biggest game in European club football gets underway. Fans will be able to tune in to watch the show via their local broadcaster and through the official UEFA TikTok and YouTube channels.

Diamond-certified multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated Cuban-born singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Camila Cabello pushes popular music and culture beyond boundaries and borders. She has broken one ceiling after another and made history in the process. She has notably emerged as "the first Hispanic woman to reach RIAA Diamond status" with her Billboard Hot 100 #1 smash "Havana" [feat. Young Thug]—which also stands out "as the most-streamed song of all-time by a female artist." She has garnered dozens of awards, including two Latin GRAMMY® Awards, five American Music Awards, and a Billboard Music Award. In 2018, her full-length debut album, Camila, bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and eventually went platinum. It received a GRAMMY® nomination in the category of "Best Pop Vocal Album" as "Havana (Live)" picked up a nod for "Best Pop Solo Performance." With the success of the triple-platinum single "Never Be The Same," she made history yet again as "the first artist ever to land two multi-format number one singles with the first two singles from a debut album." During 2019, she teamed up with Shawn Mendes for "Señorita." The multiplatinum anthem scored a nomination for "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance" at the GRAMMY® Awards. Her sophomore full-length, ROMANCE, ascended to platinum status. In its wake, she would be the "first female artist since Adele to triple up atop Billboard's Hot 100, Top 200, and Artist 100 charts." However, most recently, Camila made her most important, irresistible, and inimitable artistic statement to date with her third full-length album, Familia, release in April of 2022.

Nicosia (AFP), May 9 – Thousands of Cypriots living on British military land will have the right to develop their properties under a deal to take effect next week, ending decades of unequal treatment, officials said Monday.
Under the 1960 treaty granting Cyprus independence from Britain, the United Kingdom retained control of two Sovereign Base Areas covering three percent of the island’s land area.
These include not only the bases themselves but Cypriot communities home to around 12,000 people — more than the number of British military personnel and their families.
Non-military development on base land has until now been generally restricted.
Cypriot property owners on base land were subject to “62 years of distortions and imbalances” which the deal to be implemented from May 16 will remove, Cyprus’s President Nicos Anastasiades said at a ceremony.
Residential, commercial and other developments will be possible under the arrangement.
“It is a truly historic agreement”, Anastasiades told the ceremony attended by base officials.
British High Commissioner Stephen Lillie told the gathering that “a new era of non-military development” begins next week.
“From that day, landowners in the bases will be able to submit planning applications and develop their land much like they can anywhere else in Cyprus,” he said, describing it as a “levelling up.”
In a statement, British Forces Cyprus said that, for the first time, third-country nationals in addition to Cypriots will be able to own property, live, and run a business in the base areas — subject to environmental, security and zoning considerations.
Anastasiades reached an agreement in 2014 with then-British Prime Minister David Cameron paving the way for the changes being implemented from next week.
In an interview with AFP, Anastasiades said the agreement did not mean an alteration to the 1960 treaty and did not require discussions with Greece and Turkey, the other 1960 signatories.
He said it is simply changing the status of the residents in the base areas, “giving a chance for development which is a great thing. We are talking about a huge extent of land.”
The base areas cover 254 square kilometres (98 square miles).
Cyprus, an eastern Mediterranean island, has been divided since 1974 when Turkey invaded following a Greek-sponsored coup. The Republic of Cyprus, whose overwhelming majority are Greek Cypriots, has effective control over the southern two-thirds of the island. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/05/britain-cyprus-hail-new-era-on-military-land/ | 2022-05-09T10:12:21Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/05/britain-cyprus-hail-new-era-on-military-land/ | false | 3 |

The Brumbies are chasing a momentous victory on Friday night when they face the Crusaders, but to do so they'll have to achieve something they haven't done since their 2004 premiership season.
That was the last time the Brumbies won four games against New Zealand teams in a Super Rugby regular season, and at Canberra Stadium this week they'll have the chance to do it again.

In their way is a formidable Crusaders team they haven't beaten since 2009. It's a tough challenge, but not one they're backing away from. And they want to make sure as many Brumbies fans as possible are in their corner to cheer them on.
"It's very exciting," newly re-signed flyhalf Noah Lolesio said.
"It's always a good match-up against the Crusaders as we saw last year when we just lost in the final minute.
"They have threats all over the park, so we really need to be on our A-game.
"We feed off the fans and we thought at our last home game there was an awesome atmosphere, so hopefully many more fans can come and support us Brumbies."
MORE BRUMBIES NEWS:
The ACT side doesn't just want to hear the loud and proud supporters make their presence known at Canberra Stadium, they also want them to be a part of this special ride the team is on.
Sitting second on the Super Rugby ladder, the season finale could most certainly come through the capital and the team is playing a scintillating brand of rugby union along the way.
"It's a fortress for us and we honestly do thrive off the crowd, so it'd be awesome to see a packed stadium," Lolesio said.
"If we keep putting in positive results like this, without thinking too far forward, there could potentially be a grand final here.
"It'd be huge for rugby in Canberra and in Australia, and Canberra rugby means so much to me.
"Not just for myself, but for all the boys here - it'd be unbelievable."
That's a tantalising prospect for Lolesio especially, having moved to Canberra at a young age to forge his career.
The playmaker was relieved to finally sign the dotted line on a new deal with the club to keep him in Australian rugby until the end of 2024, allowing him to focus on securing the Wallabies' No.10 jersey long-term.
"It's nice to put aside all the negotiations now, because they were going on for a while," Lolesio said.
"It just makes me more hungry knowing that I'm definitely staying for the next couple of years.

"But what I've learned is there's no certainty at any spot, so I've got to keep competing and improving because I know I'm far from the finished product - which is exciting in a way, too."

The Biden administration says it will partner with internet providers to lower the cost of high-speed internet plans for low-income Americans, the White House announced Monday.
The Affordable Connectivity Program will provide plans of at least 100 Megabits per second of speed for no more than $30. An estimated 48 million Americans will qualify.
"High-speed internet service is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity," the White House said. "But too many families go without high-speed internet because of the cost or have to cut back on other essentials to make their monthly internet service payments."
Twenty internet providers, including national companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, as well as regional companies, such as Hawaiian Telecom and Jackson Energy Authority in Tennessee have committed to the program.
"It's time for every American to experience the social, economic, health, employment and educational benefits of universal scaled access to the Internet," said AT&T CEO John Stankey.
Americans will soon be able to visit www.getinternet.gov to determine their eligibility and sign up for the program. Those who receive benefits, such as the Pell Grant, Medicaid or SNAP may qualify.
Agencies overseeing these programs will reach out to recipients of these benefits to see which households qualify for the ACP. Eligible households may also receive notifications from city or state agencies.
Organizations such as United Way and Goodwill will also assist with outreach and enrollment.
"Being connected is essential," said Daniel Friesen, the chief innovation officer of IdeaTek, a Kansas-based Internet provider. "Our mission for Internet freedom means we believe everyone should have access to fast, reliable Internet and the opportunities it provides — even when the budget is tight."
As of 2018, 85% of American households had access to broadband Internet, with lower rates generally being lower in rural communities, according to Census data.

ORANGE - The clock face mounted on the firehouse building on Orange Center Road has been stuck on 12:27 for two years now, but the hands of time should be moving again soon.
Just as First Selectman Jim Zeoli was working on the issue, state Rep. Mary Welander secured $10,000 from the state to have the treasured clock fixed.
The clock was donated decades ago by resident Doris Knight in honor of her late husband, Frank Knight, a former fire chief. The Knight family has a rich history with the Orange Volunteer Fire Department as Frank Knight’s father, William, was a founding member and the department’s first chief. Frank and Doris Knight’s sons, Fred and John Knight, are also past chiefs.
Since then, a plaque has been added naming all the chiefs.
“Having the clock function is part of the fire department and its history,” said Fire Chief Vaughn Dumas.
They are also looking into having the clock lit up so it can be seen at night, Dumas said.
First Selectman Jim Zeoli said his intent has always been to get the clock fixed.
“I am happy that it will finally be repaired and look forward to it lasting for many more years,” Zeoli said.
Zeoli said the clock will get new “guts” and modernization enhancements, such as adjusting time change automatically twice a year. The estimate to repair it was $10,000.
Zeoli and others have been talking in various meetings lately about fixing the clock.
Zeoli said residents have been questioning “town hall” about the clock. The firehouse building is on the heavily travelled Orange Center Road.
He said the clock is special because it was bought by Frank Knight’s widow with money people donated in honor of Frank Knight, and she made up the difference.
“I brought it out at the Fireman’s dinner and the Legislative Committee was sitting at the table by the podium…They all discussed it at that time,” Zeoli said. “The clock will not be moved when we build a new firehouse someday as that is the original firehouse which the Knight family guided the fire department from.” | https://www.nhregister.com/metro/article/Firehouse-clock-honoring-chiefs-in-Orange-to-be-17155374.php | 2022-05-09T10:23:34Z | https://www.nhregister.com/metro/article/Firehouse-clock-honoring-chiefs-in-Orange-to-be-17155374.php | true | 1 |
A woman has decorated her house with Liverpool FC paraphernalia and cut-outs of certain players to support the club in its quest for a historic quadruple.
Emily Farley, 67, decks out her home in Everton with Liverpool regalia every time the Reds get to a final or are in the running for a trophy. With the club able to pick up four trophies this season, she has gone all out.
Having won the Carabao Cup, Liverpool will face Chelsea in the FA Cup final and Real Madrid in the Champions League final - as well as hoping to overturn a three point deficit and pip Manchester City to the Premier League title - over the next month.
READ MORE: Jurgen Klopp has already said what every Liverpool fan and player needs to hear about Man City
The display features cardboard cut-outs of Jurgen Klopp, Jordan Henderson, Mohammed Salah (donning a crown), Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, as well as flags, bunting, posters, cut-out trophies and a portrait of James Milner.
Emily, who watched the club lift the European Cup in Rome in 1977 and Paris in 1981 but cannot make it to any of the finals this season, told the ECHO that decorating her home is her way of showing support for her beloved Reds.
She said: "I've been doing it for years. Every time we get into a final, they go up. A s I can’t make it to the final, this is my way of supporting them."
The decorations have only been up for a matter of days but Emily has received plenty of compliments already. She said: "A man came over to see them and he was over the moon. On Saturday, someone was offering me money to cover the cost of stuff I’ve been buying. They said ‘you make people happy by seeing it and that's what life’s about’."
The ECHO spoke to Emily shortly after Manchester City beat Newcastle United on Sunday (May 7) to go three points clear at the top of the league table and denting Liverpool 's quadruple hopes in the process. However, she warned people not to rule Jurgen Klopp's side out of the running and thinks that City could slip up between now and the season's end.
"I don’t think the Premier League is out of our sight, but if it is, there are two finals to look forward to", she said. " It’s not often that a club is competing for everything come the end of the season."
Emily previously decorated the front of her house in June 2020, when Jurgen Klopp's side were about to secure the club's first league title in 30 years. That year's display featured two new items - replica Shankly Gates and a red Liver Bird - in tribute to her husband David, who died in August 2019.
The gates and Liver Bird are back again this year and Emily said that David would have loved to be able to see this Liverpool team in the running for three more trophies.
Asked if it was the finest Liverpool side she has ever seen, Emily answered: "My era was Roger Hunt, Ian St John, Ron Yeats - they were my team, but this is the best. They’ve got strength, fast movement of the ball and the way Jurgen has them playing is working a treat."
Though it is Salah, Henderson, van Dijk, Mane, Firmino and manager Klopp who get the life-size cut-out treatment, James Milner is the squad member that Emily appreciates the most.
She explained: "I haven’t got a cut out of Milner, but a gentleman on Facebook gave me two portraits - one that he painted for my husband and he gave me that surprise one of James Milner. I said that James Milner was my favourite because he fights for every ball and gives 100% in everything he does."
The Yorkshireman's passion and commitment encapsulates this Liverpool side, Emily said. She now hopes that her passion for the club, represented by her decorations, is matched by other fans.
She added: "I hope other people’s Liverpool flags are going up now, whether I’ve kick started it or not. My neighbours are about to put theirs up - they’re pensioners - aged 92 and 97. Their grandchildren are coming around to put some of their stuff up."
"I was told I’m very dramatic, doing all this, but I’m not. It’s not dramatic, it’s the love for Liverpool. And seasons like this are few and far between." | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/womans-huge-liverpool-fc-display-23900533 | 2022-05-09T10:26:30Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/womans-huge-liverpool-fc-display-23900533 | false | 1 |
Kevin De Bruyne is Manchester City’s ‘greatest ever player’, claims Jamie Carragher
The Belgian has been sensational once more for Pep Guardiola’s side, with a fourth Premier League title in five years within reach
Jamie Carragher has labelled Kevin De Bruyne as Manchester City’s “greatest ever player”.
De Bruyne has enjoyed another fine season under Pep Guardiola, scoring 15 goals and assisting 10 more in all competitions.
De Bruyne’s form has helped City to move three points clear of Liverpool with three games remaining in the Premier League.
And should City hold off the Reds, De Bruyne would land his fourth title in five years, with Carragher adamant the 30-year-old has already done enough to be labelled as the finest player in City’s history.
“That spine of Kompany, Toure, Aguero, David Silva, those four players stand out,” Carragher said on Sky Sport.
“But for me, in my eyes, he’ll be the greatest player to play for Manchester City. I think he’s just above those players.
“I loved Yaya Toure, I loved all of those players. Fantastic. But Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfield player in the world right now.
“I think he's been the best player in the Premier League for the last three or four years and for me he's Manchester City's greatest ever player.”
Carragher’s Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards disagree, however, insisting the Belgian needs to win the Champions League to surpass Toure.
“Had Yaya been in this team, in his prime, we’d be talking about a different sort of player,” Richards added.
“He had everything. If Kevin wins the European Cup with Manchester City, yes, of course he will be. But right now I think he’s still on the same level of Yaya Toure.”

It has been an agonizingly long time since the members of Baltimore’s two oldest Reform Jewish temples have been able to worship as well and as fully as they’d like.
Membership at Har Sinai Congregation and Temple Oheb Shalom dwindled for years, and with it their prospects for long-term survival. They considered merging five years ago, then talks moved forward in fits and starts. They united legally, then a pandemic hit.
Now the members of the nation’s “newest and oldest Reform congregation,” as its leadership team is calling it, are poised to celebrate their union and jump-start a new chapter of Baltimore Jewish history. This Friday, the nearly 500 families that make up Har Sinai-Oheb Shalom Congregation will install their first rabbi, the internationally recognized scholar Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi, in a formal ceremony, followed by a celebratory dinner and family events.
The activities will kick off a monthlong festival set to draw some of the biggest names in global Reform Judaism. Sabath says the festivities are designed as a dramatic statement of the spiritual and cultural heights to which the congregation aspires.
In the shorter term, those who have spent months ironing out the details of the merger, much of it as the coronavirus pandemic raged, sound thrilled just to see their efforts on the verge of paying off.
“It seems symbolic that we’re experiencing this change in the weather from winter to springtime, and the restrictions around COVID will hopefully continue to ease, and it’s all creating such an optimistic, open feeling,” says Abby Hoffman, a longtime Har Sinai member now serving as a vice president of the new congregation. “It’s time to come together physically and on all levels and march forward.”
With origins in 19th century Germany, Reform Judaism is a progressive denomination of the 4,000-year-old Jewish faith, a branch whose believers place less emphasis on the religion’s ritual aspects and more on what they see as its ethical imperatives.
Both Har Sinai and Temple Oheb Shalom helped make Reform Judaism part of the American landscape. It was in Baltimore in 1842 that a group of German immigrants, frustrated with some of the practices of their Orthodox Jewish congregation, founded Har Sinai (”Mount Sinai”), the first congregation in the U.S. conceived around Reform prayer rites. Immigrants from Hungary and Czechoslovakia established Oheb Shalom (“Lovers of Peace”) 11 years later.
Both quickly earned a name for social activism. Har Sinai’s first rabbi, David Einhorn, incensed so many people with his anti-slavery views that he was forced to flee Baltimore, according to the new synagogue’s website. Henrietta Szold, the daughter of one of Oheb Shalom’s earliest rabbis, founded Hadassah, one of the world’s largest Jewish service organizations.
As the decades passed, both congregations moved from their original homes to sites in Northwest Baltimore. They developed close ties as leaders marched during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and they co-sponsored a range of events and social services that lasted into this century.
Neither was immune, though, to the decline in interest in formal religion that has plagued American faith traditions over the past half-century. Membership at Har Sinai dropped from about 800 families in the late 1970s to about 325 five years ago. Oheb Shalom fell from about 1,000 families to 625 over roughly the same span.
Former Oheb Shalom President Mina Wender told The Baltimore Sun that her temple was operating “on a bare-bones budget” in 2017 — the year congregational leaders began talking in earnest about the possibility of joining their histories. Those who worked on the merger say that though both sides shared a range of values and traditions, forging a union was challenging.
“Imagine a marriage involving lots of humans with years of history, personalities and traditions,” says Katie Applefeld, a former Har Sinai member on the new congregation’s board. “Mergers don’t always succeed. It’s hard, hard work.”
Congregational leaders had negotiated for months when allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2018 against Oheb Shalom spiritual leader Steven M. Fink, who condemned them as false, according to The Sun’s coverage. The temple fired Fink, but not before Har Sinai leaders stepped away from the merger discussions. The Sun reported that Fink wasn’t charged with a crime. Fink and Oheb Shalom ultimately reached a separation agreement. Merger talks resumed later that same year.
“We’ve believed for a long time that we’ll be in a better position to thrive on the current landscape if we come together, but that didn’t mean it would be easy,” Applefeld says.
In 2019, the congregations set up a joint task force to address cultural and liturgical differences, explore common ground and develop a vision for the future.
Members of various ages, occupations and observance levels spent three months “hash[ing] out everything from basic bylaws to finances, what traditions we’d observe, which building we’d use, and what kind of clergy and staff setup we wanted to have,” says Mandee Heinl, a lifelong member of Oheb Shalom who served on the panel.
“We’d have dinner, and we’d sit there and argue it out, cry it out, cheer it out, just doing everything it takes to negotiate,” Heinl says. “Everyone was committed to making it work.”
Among the decisions: The new congregation made Oheb Shalom’s building its home, less due to its architectural significance (it was designed in part by the Bauhaus pioneer Walter Gropius) than its more central location; Har Sinai comes first in the new name; Torah scrolls from both congregations are used, and photos of confirmation classes from each congregation dating back to 1930 were hung side by side.
The sides signed an agreement of consolidation marking the legal merger. Two months later, Har Sinai congregants gathered up artifacts at their longtime temple in Owings Mills and took them on a nearly 8-mile march to their new home in Fallstaff in Northwest Baltimore. They were met by members of Oheb Shalom, and the group hammered traditional Jewish signposts, or mezuzas, from old Har Sinai to the doors of the “new” temple as shofars blew.
“Was it sad to walk out of the old building on Walnut? Of course,” Hoffman says. “But walking along the road you became excited about where you were headed. If you want to get philosophical, the Jewish people have moved all through history, taking their stories with them. It was a monumental experience.”
One change that brought no mixed emotions was the hiring of Sabath, a rabbi who temple leaders say has the kind of charisma, talent and enthusiasm that can inspire long-term success. A scholar of modern Jewish ethics and theology, Sabath earned her doctorate from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, was vice president of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, and taught at Israeli and American campuses of Hebrew Union College.
Afternoon Update
She has also embraced a goal that the congregation’s president, Dr. David Buchalter, says the search team shared with every candidate: that the new leader would not just build on the past, but inspire a unique future. Sabath’s goals include building community through services and events, inspiring intellectual curiosity, promoting deeper learning about Judaism and Israel, and ensuring that the temple’s scope of interest includes local, regional and global concerns.
The “festival of installation” will include concerts, family services, the installation of Cantor Alexandra S. Fox, and even a pet blessing. It will also feature appearances by two Jewish figures Sabath has gotten to know through her work: Rabbi David Saperstein, the attorney and Jewish leader who served as U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom under former President Barack Obama, and globally known author and human rights activist Natan Sharansky.
Saperstein is to appear three times on the weekend of June 3 — once to address a confirmation class, once to introduce the musical duo Kol B’Seder, and once to deliver an address on social justice. Sharansky, a Ukrainian native, will address the community on “Israel, world Jewry and the war in Ukraine” the following weekend. His talk will be open to the public.
Their appearances will inaugurate a speaker series expected to last at least through the end of the year, much of it focusing on the humane roles Judaism can play on the world stage. It’s all in keeping with the inaugural rabbi’s aspirations.
“The sky is the limit,” Sabath says. “We have an opportunity to become truly the most inspiring, innovative, impactful congregation, not just in the community, but in the country.”
For now, officials who have shepherded the union sound happy simply to have a time, place and occasion to gather in person to worship among old friends and make new ones. Heinl, for one, sees Friday’s event as a major step.
“We’ve worked so hard to merge congregations,” she says. “Everyone is ready to celebrate.” | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/bs-md-oheb-har-sinai-merger-fest-20220509-4z67hjjx7bbmro3ipt3xjxokpe-story.html | 2022-05-09T10:34:52Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/bs-md-oheb-har-sinai-merger-fest-20220509-4z67hjjx7bbmro3ipt3xjxokpe-story.html | true | 3 |

Michigan has had its share of disasters. Dams collapsed after heavy rains, flooding Midland. A sinkhole the size of a football field was caused by a sewer collapse in Macomb County. And in Flint, children were poisoned by lead-contaminated water.
“Flint was a financial crisis long before it was a water crisis, and those two things are intricately connected,” said Stephanie Leiser, a lecturer with the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.
She said cities and towns across Michigan face increasingly desperate choices as they struggle to maintain their infrastructure – many of them with a shrinking number of taxpayers to foot the bill.
Many of Michigan’s 1,773 cities, villages, and townships are reaching a crisis point because of a decline in federal dollars for water and sewer infrastructure that’s made worse by the state’s centralized taxing system.
Small disasters can be devastating, too. Many of Michigan’s rural communities have to haul water in trucks to fight fires. That’s because they cannot put too much of a strain on the water system by tapping the fire hydrants.
That’s the case in the small village of Akron, in Tuscola County.
“I know if we start using too much water, we end up not having to use the hydrants because we can't let the pressure get too low and make everybody boil water, so we'll stop using the hydrants,” Marvin Hasso Jr. of the village’s Department of Public Works, a one-man operation, explained.
As we explained earlier in this series, Akron’s water tower has reached its life expectancy and doesn’t have the capacity to hold the amount of water that’s recommended by the state. Hauling water to the site of a fire is the only alternative.
“There has been significant disinvestment in our communities over the course of the last couple of decades. And you couple that with a restrictive property tax system and it absolutely squeezes local government at its core, which is to provide service,” said John LaMacchia, director of State and Federal Affairs for the Michigan Municipal League.
He is one of many people who work closely with Michigan’s cities and villages who are pleading with state government to stop short-changing the municipalities responsible for providing critical services such as safety and water.
We used to build in America
Much of the water and sewer infrastructure in Michigan began with a huge move by the federal government to fund the building of water and sewer systems starting in the late 19th century. The federal government passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, and spending on drinking water and wastewater systems skyrocketed. By the late 1970s the federal government was spending more than $20 billion (in 2022 dollars) a year on water and wastewater utility infrastructure.
That federal investment fell dramatically after 1980 and continued to decline to as little as $2 billion in 2008. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 caused a spike in spending on water infrastructure, but it quickly fell back to about $3 billion a year.
“There's been a drastic shift in the amount of money that the federal government used to put into these systems compared to what they do now,” said LaMacchia with the Municipal League.
Not sharing as fairly
The State of Michigan has also been indirectly reducing the money that municipalities can spend on water and wastewater infrastructure through a series of changes in how Michigan distributes taxes.
The Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution 1978 put complicated limits on state and local taxes. Then Proposal A, passed by voters in 1994, put further restrictions on how property taxes could increase. With rising property values and tax hikes, that seemed like a great idea at the time. But with the Great Recession, property values dropped significantly. They’ve recovered and then some, but the taxes they generate cannot catch up at the same pace because of Proposal A limits.
The other tax change also came because of the Great Recession. Sales taxes are sent to the state and a portion is redistributed to cities, villages, and townships. Part of it is mandated by the Constitution. A second formula, called the statutory share, ended when the state budget got tight. Now, instead of sharing that portion of the sales tax, the legislature simply distributes what it wants each year.
“And that really is funded about $600 million short of where it should be every year, and that's compounded the billions and billions and billions of dollars over the last decade plus,” LaMacchia noted.
Actually, that shortfall has increased to $800 million this past year because the state has been getting a lot more money, but not sharing much of it.
LaMacchia said now municipalities also have to factor in the significant rise in inflation, currently above eight percent.
“You really have this almost perfect storm of things that are taking what is already a limited supply of revenue sources and then adding these additional burdens and cost increases to them.”
Higher local taxes and fees
As cities are relying more on residents.
“The problem is that they have to turn to more regressive forms of property taxes, fines, fees and other charges, which really disproportionately harms families with low incomes and our black and brown communities,” said Rachel Richards, Fiscal Policy Director with the Michigan League for Public Policy.
Families are still paying the same rate of sales tax that goes to state government, but their communities are getting less of it back. That’s led to municipalities relying more on millages. Citizens pay more in property taxes, which also leads to higher rent. Local governments are implementing more fees or increasing fees for utilities such as water and sewer. It’s all an attempt by local government to keep something close to the same level of service.
Richards said the legislature could give cities more money from its general fund to invest in water infrastructure. The idea is that the money would keep water rates affordable for families and avoid crisis-level situations when it comes to water and wastewater service.
Part of the water infrastructure crisis is the lack of political will to pay for it. If an elected official votes to spend money to improve a park or make living in a town obviously nicer, that earns voters’ respect. Voting to spend money on pipes under the ground when there’s not an obvious problem is less likely to win votes. But, waiting until there’s an obvious problem often results in a crisis either for a neighborhood or sometimes an entire city.
Get a loan (if you can)
In lieu of direct assistance, state government points to the revolving loan funds available for both drinking water and wastewater systems. Larger cities are often staffed with engineers and people who know how to complete the complex applications. But for smaller cities and villages, that’s just not reality.
“We talked to several communities that said it's just a really difficult application process….. So just filling out the forms and the paperwork to actually get in the door and see if you can get this help is prohibitive for many communities,” said Stephanie Leiser who works with a regular survey of municipal leaders through the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy.
Small towns would have to spend a lot of money to hire consultants to see if they even qualified for a loan from the revolving fund. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) said it will help small towns determine whether it’s worth the effort.
The other problems are, even though some loans are forgivable through the federally funded program, if it’s not, those small towns might not be able to afford the debt. Even if they determine they can afford the loan, the rates on the revolving loan fund are sometimes higher than the municipal bond market rate for some towns. That’s something EGLE said it’s working to improve.
John LaMacchia confirms that just the application process is a major hurdle for many municipalities.
“You know, when we think about communities and their ability to apply for things like grant funding or loans that are out there, you know, sometimes they look at it and say, I don't understand the process,” LaMacchia said. “And if they don't understand the process, it makes it much harder for them to get into the process.”
The Michigan Municipal League Foundation launched a program to give those small towns access to experts for free through grants from the Joyce Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation. That’s expected to help
The really bright light in Michigan’s infrastructure needs is a pile of federal money coming.
“With the American Rescue Plan and resources that our local units are getting with the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act puts more resources into the fold,” said LaMacchia.
But that assistance is a one-time fix. And with deteriorating water infrastructure in cities large and small, it will take decades of new investment to recover.
“The backlog is so big, the deferred maintenance is so large that I doubt it's going to make a huge difference,” Stephanie Leiser said, adding, “If you are not maintaining your infrastructure assets, you are at higher risk of disasters.” | https://www.michiganradio.org/environment-climate-change/2022-05-09/short-changing-michigan-local-governments-has-resulted-in-deteriorating-water-systems-and-other-services | 2022-05-09T10:37:53Z | https://www.michiganradio.org/environment-climate-change/2022-05-09/short-changing-michigan-local-governments-has-resulted-in-deteriorating-water-systems-and-other-services | false | 1 |

ZUG, Switzerland, May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Art should be accessible to everyone. Art can awaken in people the desire to discover hidden talents and become creators themselves. And the metaverse has the power to make it all possible, finally.
As a company that specializes in operating virtual environments, we are excited to confirm the ongoing development of a digital art gallery.
The goal of this project is to offer authors — both professionals and amateurs – new tools that endow their creations with immersive properties.
Unlike other digital galleries available on the market today, mostly limited to the transfer of physical objects into virtual environments, Sensorium's gallery moves towards understanding the nature of a person's creativity.
Sensorium Galaxy aims to contribute to the evolution of the entertainment industry. For example, our first virtual world PRISM, expected for release after the completion of the closed beta, is dedicated to electronic music. This digital space is constantly mutating based on the nature of music tracks.
The Sensorium Digital Art Gallery is integrated into our second virtual world — Motion, dedicated to the practices of self-development and self-discovery. The concept of our gallery is not built around the development of digital copies of existing artworks. As of today, there are world leaders in that specific field, and, if necessary, we could collaborate with one of them.
Our area of professional interest is englobed by the answers to the following questions: What new opportunities for Humanity could new technologies that allow us to integrate physical values into digital environments bring to the world? What is the meaning of this? What is fundamentally new and valuable that can be achieved by such integrations? Can the ideas of authors from different eras, with the help of digital technologies, become the catalyst for the development of new artistic processes?
Our main task is to promote the integration of physical and digital art into the virtual environments of the Sensorium Galaxy metaverse, turning existing art pieces into building materials for the creation of new art or unleashing the creative potential of all users.
Our concept for Sensorium's gallery relies on synthesizing several types of art. Visitors of the gallery not only dive deep into artworks but can also run independent experiments with them to create objects of their own, involving fragments of the creative heritage of famous authors.
As with every experiential project, we are currently going through a path of reflection and approaching the generation of new value.
The first exhibition will feature two internationally acclaimed contemporary artists.
Art gallery technologies will complement the exhibitions with immersiveness, bringing users closer to the discovery of the authors' intentions.
We will gradually reveal the details of our collaborations as we approach the expected opening date of the art gallery, scheduled for Q4 2022.
During the development of this project, we plan to involve our partners in a diverse range of initiatives related to the virtual environments of Sensorium Galaxy.
While our first exhibition will first focus on modern art, Sensorium's gallery is being designed for ultimate flexibility. The space will adapt to host any art and create compelling experiences around it.

The last few weeks have been traumatic to say the least. Never in my life have I felt such unease at the political goings on in my beloved country – and for Pakistan that is saying a lot.
After all we Pakistanis are quite used to the making and breaking of parties and groups, of people who appear to be ferocious enemies one day breaking bread together the next morning.
Exchange of favors euphemistically called, “compromise” in political parlance,
being a great lubricant for obviating any guilt feelings for such slithering moves.
Great students of tribology, our entrenched politicians!
We have witnessed votes for sale to the highest bidder, ballot boxes stuffed with scrap paper whence not a feather ruffled at the Election Commission, courts favoring some blatantly while penalizing others heavily for similar conduct, of the imprint of foreign hands in ensuring people of their choice in positions of importance – one gets the picture.
So, what was different this time.
Why this angst that refuses to go away?
That feeling that something akin to grievous bodily harm has been inflicted on us, something grave has happened that has no precedent.
Looking back one can discern events which seemed ordinary at the time but now suggest a trend, somewhat like the shadows cast by the glaring sun as it traverses the universe.
Faint shades getting darker, almost disappearing at noon and then slowly and gradually casting long imprints on ground pointing directly opposite to the source and then vanishing quickly to let darkness take its grip on land.
One could connect the dots but any hopes of getting a clear picture would be intrinsically misplaced.
Such is the power of spin, of the modern media, of the unscrupulousness that has taken hold amongst even those whose duty it is to inform, to educate.
It is all subjective now.
Truth, fact, honesty, integrity, you name it; the same facts, the same events, the same actions, the same reactions will lead to diagrammatically opposite opinions, conclusions, presumptions, even beliefs.
That is the power of what is now called the fifth-generation warfare; attacks on abilities to think and form independent views.
Opinions are programmed remotely and embedded with such firmness that they crowd out any room for alternate considerations. We will imbibe only that for which our brains get wired and shut out all else.
As I try to make sense of what happened, I am cognizant of the folly of expectation to convince anyone about whatever I conclude. It is purely an internal exercise but will share it, nevertheless. Just to get it off my chest.
First off, what happened:
Govt formed by a political party on the strength of majority in parliament got toppled. The cause seemed insubstantial, rather a range of shifting accusations like, ‘selected by establishment hence unacceptable’ to ‘incompetence in governance’ to ‘failure to control high cost of living’, to ’economic meltdown’, ‘diplomatic isolation’; in short sweeping generalities morphing from one allegation to another without relating to contributing causes or supporting data.
The mechanics of ‘toppling’ seemed questionable due to following occurrences that are common knowledge and though not owned up, also not deniable by any entity.
The ‘house arrest’ of dissident MNAs of ruling party till they voted against their own.
Somebody paid for the stay of about 12 persons in a five-star hotel for about three weeks.
The exchange of monumental funds with no traceability, the alleged recipients being those very personalities who later voted against their own party.
Videos showing ‘dissidents’ counting large bundles of cash circulated on social media.
The missive from a superpower demanding the exact result of the vote of no confidence that eventually transpired. The issue was discussed in a special ‘National Security Council’ meeting. The need to hold that meeting and subsequent official statement being proof that the derogatory and threatening missive had indeed been received officially.
That the no confidence motion could not have carried without the dissident’s vote. Additionally, the decision to ‘rebel’ seemed to be motivated by considerations other than political as those persons could not present any convincing justification for such an extreme step.
These aspects called for immediate investigative actions by constitutional ‘watchdogs’; concerned organs of state however remained inactive.
Extraordinary claims of ‘neutrality’ were made publicly by power stakeholders. The stance of neutrality however became controversial because of following: –
Public statement aimed at pacifying the superpower who had initiated the threatening missive without the standard process of departmental scrutiny and ‘clearance’ that is critical in such matters and is the norm.
Proclaimed lack of influence on opposition to lower political temperatures at critical junctures but regaining such influence when the scales tipped.
Extra ordinary sense of purpose exhibited by the otherwise staid judiciary in taking suo moto action against the speaker of national legislature when article 5 of the constitution was invoked.
That the honourable judges did not consider ‘suo moto’ being intrusion into ambit of
legislature. The judges showed no concern to allay public feelings of bench being guilty of same ‘constitutional impropriety’ that they sat in judgement of.
The judgement thus left deep impression of double standards on part of the highest forum responsible to dispense justice.
The judiciary failed the acid test of “justice must not only be done but also seen to be done”.
A litigation, the plea being from the head of state was already under hearing for judgement on legality of ‘dissenters’ vote. The court not only refused to make those who allegedly ‘sold’ votes as respondents but also pended that hearing to take up suo moto hearing on ‘speakers ruling’, which effectively rendered the case irrelevant, later judgement being clearly pointless.
The basis of ‘speakers ruling’, on the other hand, which was documentary evidence
of ‘external interference’ in national matters was not allowed to be made part of the suo moto proceedings.
That the documentary evidence raised possibility of covert funding by the superpower to enable opposition ‘buy’ ‘dissidents’, was apparently not considered as important by the learned judges.
Since that evidence could have had pivoting impact on the verdict, the refusal to consider the key document could be argued to have compromised fairness of court proceedings and by consequence the verdict.
The relevance of evidence of ‘dissidents vote in exchange for material favors’ was effective only prior to the voting process on ‘no confidence motion’.
That per se necessitated dovetailing of hearings in accordance with effect of outcomes but went abegging.
Therefore, while the declared reason for suo moto on ‘speakers ruling’ was ‘constitutional rights of citizens’, the same level concern for those very ‘constitutional rights of citizens’ was not applied to hearing on ‘sale of votes’ in the parliament.
These are the events that culminated into change of regime. I have purposely not included any opinions save the incontrovertible ones just to refrain from inducing any bias.
But all that is over and time to move forward.
That is easier said than done, the mix of extreme emotions with fake news is a deadly concoction and someone will have to step forward and some will have to step back a bit to let sanity prevail.
The window for return to that sanity is however closing fast and there is no room for inaction or over reaction to withstand or counter the storm of public sentiments on display. | https://arynews.tv/aryblog-the-looming-storm/ | 2022-05-09T10:46:46Z | https://arynews.tv/aryblog-the-looming-storm/ | false | 1 |

Interfaith and community leaders, scholars, journalists attend the programme
New Delhi,
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) has hosted an Eid Get-together programme here at the Constitution Club of India, attended by interfaith and community leaders, activists, politicians, journalists and scholars.
Speaking on the occasion, JIH President Syed Sadatullah Husaini has emphasized the need to maintain human equality, fraternity and unity in the country. He said, “we are all servants of the one God, our God is the same, all humans are descendants of the same father and mother and are equal. Eid-ul-Fitr represents this basic message of Islam. Today, our country direly needs this message of human equality. Dividing people and spreading hatred among them cannot be the message of any religion. Division is the philosophy of cancer cells that continuously divide and do not stop until they destroy the body through division. Once the process of dividing people in a society on the basis of their caste, language, region and religion begins, it does not stop. It is the responsibility of every sincere citizen to come forward to break this cycle of discrimination, which is the real message of Eid-ul-Fitr. With this message we have invited you to come together here.”
Several political leaders cutting across the party lines, leaders of different religions and prominent personalities of the country including Goswami Shushil ji Maharaj founder of Dharma Sansad, Swami Lakshmi Shankar Acharya, Swami Deep Natya of RamaKrishna Mission, Dr. John Dayal General Secretary of All India Christian Council, Father MD Thomas, Father Bento, Director Institute of Peace and Harmony, Mr. Paramjit Singh Chandhok, Chief Advisor of Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Mr. Ravi Nair human rights activist, Mr. Yogendra Yadav, founding member of Swaraj Abhiyan and Jai Kisan Andolan, Prof. Apoorvanand Jha, Dr. AK Merchant of Bahá’í Community, Dr. Ved Pratap Vaidik, senior journalist, Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mehdi, President of Jamiat Ahle Hadith, Mr.Naved Hamid, President of All India Muslim Majlis Mushawarat, Maulana Niaz Ahmed, Secretary of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Mr. Ziaussalam, senior journalist, former MP Mohammad Adeeb, Dr. Kamal Farooqui former Chairman of Delhi Minorities Commission, Mr. Sirajuddin Qureshi President of India Islamic Cultural Centre, MP Kunwar Danish and others attended the programme.
In his message, the JIH President further said, “we all, who believe in different religions, belong to different regions and speak different languages, should think together about keeping the country united and saving it from the curse of hatred and communalism. May God make this Eid a source of peace in the country.” | https://theindianawaaz.com/jamaat-e-islami-hosts-eid-get-together-with-a-message-of-equality-and-unity/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jamaat-e-islami-hosts-eid-get-together-with-a-message-of-equality-and-unity | 2022-05-09T10:59:10Z | https://theindianawaaz.com/jamaat-e-islami-hosts-eid-get-together-with-a-message-of-equality-and-unity/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jamaat-e-islami-hosts-eid-get-together-with-a-message-of-equality-and-unity | false | 1 |

After a long enforced closure, Camden Fort Meagher in Crosshaven will reopen to visitors this summer season from May 28.
This will be the first time the 16th century coastal artillery fort is open to the public in two years, following closure due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Camden Fort Meagher, overlooking Cork Harbour, is steeped in history, having played a significant role for 400 years as a strategic defensive position.
Large structures on the surface hide the bulk of the fort beneath, with 65% of it located underground.
The fort may also be of interest to fans of the TV series Ultimate Hell Week, which is currently showing on RTÉ 2 on Thursday evenings, where contestants endure Special Forces Training at the fort.
Despite the gruelling training taking place there now, the Defence Forces no longer own the fort, with ownership having been transferred to Cork County Council in 1989.
The site was restored and subsequently opened to visitors in 2011. The Council established Camden Fort Meagher Developments Designated Activity Company (DAC) in 2016 to develop the location into a year-round tourist attraction and multipurpose venue. The running of the fort is assisted by a team of dedicated volunteers who welcome guests with an interest in knowing more about the history and strategic significance of this iconic location in Cork Harbour.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Gillian Coughlan welcomed news of the reopening.
“Cork Harbour is home to incredible scenery, history and communities, and all of that comes together in Camden Fort Meagher. Guests are treated to stunning architecture, a rich history, beautiful views and the incredible hospitality and knowledge of passionate volunteers.
Whether you’d like to walk through 400 years of history or enjoy a relaxing cup of tea overlooking the harbour, this destination is a must for anyone visiting Cork.”
The fort and tearooms are open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from May 28.

Bengaluru: Customs seized ₹47 lakh worth gold hidden in underwear
Bengaluru Customs arrested a passenger who arrived from Abu Dhabi for allegedly attempting to smuggle 918.01gms of goldin paste form, worth more than ₹47 lakh in underwear on Sunday.
In recent times the number of people who put their lives at risk for smuggling has increased drastically. This is the second such incident in the last two days after customs seized 966.10 grams of gold worth over ₹50 lakh from a passenger who reportedly hid it similarly. This also suggests the drugs and gold trafficking networks continue to be in operation internationally.

Killorglin woman Francesca Dawn Eyers came home on Sunday evening to find her beloved five-year-old family cat fatally shot through the abdomen
A Killorglin woman is this week issuing a warning to all fellow pet owners in the area to be extra vigilant and careful with their pets after she came home on Sunday night to discover her beloved five-year-old cat, Bratt, had been fatally shot through his abdomen with what looks to be a pellet from either an air rifle or an air gun.
A devastated Francesca Dawn Eyers contacted The Kerryman this week in the wake of what she described as a “malicious” and "through and through shooting” to warn pet owners and locals in general about had happened and issued the warning that if someone is prepared to shoot an innocent animal in cold blood, that this could possibly escalate to people being shot in the future.
It was last Sunday night (May 1) at around 7pm when Francesca, who works as an emergency and critical care veterinary nurse, left a then perfectly healthy Bratt and her other pets at home as she went to go have dinner at her parent’s house, returning a few hours later to find Bratt collapsed on the bathroom floor and struggling for breath.
"He was struggling for breath and there was very obviously something wrong with him. I'm an emergency and critical care veterinary nurse myself so I knew that there was something immediately wrong with my animal. He was hyper-salivating, absolutely soaked in his own saliva and really struggling for breath and he had an elevated heart rate and elevated breathing as well,” she said.
"We contacted Aoife over at the Mid Kerry Veterinary Centre in Milltown and she was absolutely wonderful. She realised the urgency of the situation and so we met her over there 20 minutes later in Milltown where we got an x-ray done within minutes of being through the door. It was then we discovered what looked to be and felt like under the skin - because it was still inside him - an air rifle pellet,” she continued.
The damage done to Bratt – Francesca discovered via a necropsy after he had passed away – was catastrophic with the pellet causing severe damage to his insides.
"Since then, I've had a necropsy done - the animal version of a post mortem - and it turns out, what had actually happened was that the pellet entered his abdomen, went through his liver, lacerated his liver, causing massive damage as it did. It went through his diaphragm, exited into the other side of his chest and then it travelled under the skin where it eventually stopped next to his ribs. It [the damage] was catastrophic,” she said.
"It was in all effects, a through and through shooting,” she added.
Francesca said that she has reported the shooting to the Gardaí and that they have spoken to neighbours in the area but as of now, there are no current leads as to who killed what Francesca called her “incredibly loved and a practically worshipped family pet” who she had raised since he was found abandoned as a five week old kitten.
"They [the Gardaí] have given me a PULSE number now so I do have an incident number and they have been around and they have spoken to a couple of neighbours in the area but there is no leads currently as to who did it. I have the sense that maybe it could be somebody in their teens who has managed to get a hold of an air rifle or an air gun and was showing off,” she said.
"In my mind, it's a very sick and twisted individual with serious psychological issues that has done this. My main concern at the moment is that this escalates further and whether or not the rest of my animals are safe and whether or not my child is safe. She's a teenager but I think if somebody is prepared to target an animal, then what is to stop them targeting a human. There's a known scientific progression that people who harm humans, they would probably have had a history of harming animals,” she continued.
Finally, Francesca said that there is someone somewhere who knows something about this and that she just wants people, that if they hear anything at all all, to come forward to them or to the Killarney or the Killorglin Gardaí who she said will take it seriously and will follow up on any leads. | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/kerryman/news/a-very-sick-and-twisted-individual-has-done-this-pet-owner-reacts-as-cat-is-shot-dead-41630275.html | 2022-05-09T11:15:02Z | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/kerryman/news/a-very-sick-and-twisted-individual-has-done-this-pet-owner-reacts-as-cat-is-shot-dead-41630275.html | true | 1 |

Man brandishing knife demanded cash from Tesco Express staff
- Credit: Cambridgeshire Constabulary
A knife-wielding man threatened a Tesco cashier and demanded they hand him cash from the till.
James Maguire, aged 56, admitted attempted robbery and possession of a knife in a public place at Peterborough Crown Court in December.
He was sentenced to a year and eight months in prison at the same court on Friday, May 6.
Maguire, of Holmes Way in Paston, entered the Tesco Express store in Chadburn on November 1 last year.
He was brandished a knife in front of cashier, and security guards intervened when the member of staff pressed an assistance button.
Security guards told Maguire to put the knife away and leave the store, which he did.
Cambridgeshire Police officers identified the 56-year-old using CCTV footage, and he was arrested the next day at his home nearby.

Price Of Air Ticket Rises To N75,000, May Hit N150,000
Nigerian airlines are beginning to hike the price of air fares to reflect the impact of the high cost of aviation fuel on their activities.
Price of tickets as of Monday, May 9, 2022 rose to between N68,000 and N75,000 depending on the airline.
Ibom Air fixed its price for a 1 hour 15 minutes flight from Lagos to Abuja at N75,000, while its 4pm flight was pegged at N63,000.
Air Peace price and Dana are selling between N55,000 to N58,500 for economy tickets.
The price change is coming after airlines under the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) called off their planned warning strike.
Airline operators said they were buying fuel at N190 per litre in January but by March, it rose to N440 before hitting N700 in May.
AON had on Friday said based on the unit cost per seat, a ticket for an hour trip was supposed to cost N150,000.
Air Peace founder and Chief Executive Officer, Allen Onyema told Arise Tv that the “unit cost is not sustainable.”
“As an operator, you look at unit cost per seat and decide which of your inventory to implement. It rose within weeks to N500 and N600. We met with the National Assembly.
“Just about a week ago, (it rose to) N700. We are on the march towards hitting N1,000 if nothing is done. Then what do we do?
“The economics of the game is longer there. The unit cost per seat of an aircraft now is about N120,000. The option open to these airlines is to put the burden on the flying public and for us to do that, the least seat will be N150,000.
Onyema questioned the number of Nigerians that can afford the price hike of N150,000, adding that it would have a ripple effect on the current inflationary pressure.
“How about the inflationary trends? It will spiral out of control. When people start flying at N150,000 as base fare, they are going to apply to other commodities. There will be inflation,” he said. | https://thewhistler.ng/price-of-air-ticket-rises-to-n75000-may-hit-n150000/ | 2022-05-09T11:24:47Z | https://thewhistler.ng/price-of-air-ticket-rises-to-n75000-may-hit-n150000/ | true | 1 |

Almost 10 Million Britons Cut Back on Meals as Living Costs Soar
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Almost 10 million Britons were forced to cut back on food or missed meals entirely last month, according to new research that highlights the devastating impact of the nation’s cost of living crisis.
Data from The Food Foundation showed 7.3 million adults, and 2.6 million children, now live in households that had gone without food or could not physically get it in the past month. That compares with 4.7 million adults in January, a rise of nearly 60%.
The charity flagged the failure of welfare benefits to keep pace with inflation as a key factor. For some, the crisis is even more acute. Almost 5% of households, comprising 2.4 million adults, had not eaten for a whole day because they couldn’t afford or get access to food, the survey showed. In total, almost 20% of children are experiencing food poverty.
The Food Foundation said it expects food insecurity to jump further in coming months as higher energy bills and a tax hike cut deeper into incomes. The warning Monday comes days after the Bank of England forecast inflation in excess of 10%, causing after-tax real incomes to drop both this year and next.
“The extremely rapid rise in food insecurity since January points to a catastrophic situation for families,” said Anna Taylor, executive director of The Food Foundation. “The situation is rapidly turning from an economic crisis to a health crisis. Food banks cannot possibly be expected to solve this. The government needs to realize the boat is sinking for many families and it needs to be fixed.”
YouGov Plc surveyed almost 10,700 adults online between April 22 and April 29. The findings were then analyzed by The Food Foundation and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

The UAE often faces sandstorms that can reduce air quality and hamper visibility on the roads.
The National Centre of Meteorology issued a warning that such dust and sand storms would sweep through the Emirates this week.
The Plume air quality app, which monitors cities around the world, said that could cause "high" levels of pollution.
It said babies and people who were sensitive should remain indoors.
Plume occasionally records "airpocalyptic" levels of pollution in the UAE, which means everyone is subject to immediate and heavy effects from exposure. That happened most recently last week.
As the summer approaches, sandstorms are likely to become more regular. But why? And why do they potentially pose a risk to public health?
How common are sandstorms?
In the UAE, sandstorms are certainly not unusual. They most often hit during the summer and turbulent weather, such as during the transition from winter to spring, when rising temperatures cause strong winds. The rate of storms is expected to increase with the effects of climate change, a report published in 2017 found.
More extreme sandstorms are usually reported elsewhere in the region, in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, where there are strong north-westerly winds.
During the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide – all pollutants released by vehicles – dropped, in some cases by as much as 70 per cent.
But a recent study in the Emirates found the air was more polluted owing to an increase in concentrations of tiny particulate matter in the air in the east of the Arabian Peninsula, including the UAE.
That resulted from an unusually active period of dust storms caused by north-westerly winds.
What are sandstorms made of?
A lot more than sand. The storms can carry pollutants or even viruses and bacteria.
“You could have a sandstorm here and the impact on what is carried on the sand or in the sand is completely different,” Ruqaya Mohamed, section manager of air quality, noise and climate change at the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi, told The National.
“The sandstorm could have the same origin, but depending on where it passes, by the time it reaches your place or my place it carries all sorts of things along the way," she said.
Sandstorms typically contain silica crystals, as well as viruses, bacteria, dust mites, funghi and even plants. They have been blamed for spreading meningitis spores across Africa. The storms can also transmit viruses such as influenza, scientists have said.
Some experts have said the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak in the UK was caused by a large storm in North Africa, which may have carried the spores to the north of the UK a week before the first cases were reported.
Who is at risk of becoming ill?
The American Thoracic Society has said sand particles can be inhaled, but are usually too large to be deposited in the lungs, so they generally become trapped in the upper airway.
As a result, upper airway and mucus membrane irritation is the most common health problem.
People who suffer from allergies or asthma suffer most. Fifteen minutes of exposure to even small particles can increase the potential of suffering from asthma symptoms.
But anyone with a weakened immune system, including the elderly and pregnant women, are more at risk of being infected by viruses or bacteria contained in the dust.
What should I do in a sandstorm?
If you can, you should stay indoors until it passes. If not, wear a mask or use a wet towel to protect yourself against inhaling dust particles.
Running an air purifier indoors will help. Doctors say it is also important to stay hydrated.
Why don't UAE sandstorms look like the ones on TV?
The UAE's location and climate does not tend to expose it to the extreme winds found elsewhere.
Forecasters say most of the storms that reach the country originate from the dries-up marshlands of Kuwait or Iraq, but they usually blow themselves out before they reach the Emirates.
Instead of a fast-moving wall of air, as seen in Dubai in Hollywood film Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, the sand is suspended.
Can anything be done to improve air quality in the UAE?
Abu Dhabi has expanded a programme aimed at improving air quality in the emirate.
Experts from the environment agency have joined the World Health Organisation’s Global Air Pollution and Health Technical Advisory Group. They now sit on two working groups – one focused on dust, sand and health, and the other on policy interventions.
It is hoped the knowledge gained in the groups can help the emirate to continue to make strides to improve air quality. | https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2022/05/09/what-causes-the-uaes-sandstorms-and-how-common-are-they/ | 2022-05-09T11:32:11Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2022/05/09/what-causes-the-uaes-sandstorms-and-how-common-are-they/ | true | 2 |
CAO LANH, Vietnam, May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the monsoon season starts with ample rainfalls, XAG is actively scaling up the use of its agricultural drones in Vietnam to make rice production more sustainable. Faced with the soaring prices of agricultural inputs, Vietnamese farmers can now employ drones from XAG to grow more rice using fewer resources. From direct seeding, pesticide spraying to fertilizer application, XAG's agricultural drones have seen its increasing popularity among rural youth who are keen to earn a decent salary as drone pilot.
Vietnam is the world's second largest exporter of rice, which is also the staple food consumed by 90% of the total population and the main source of income for millions of small-scale farmers. More than 50% of the country's rice is cultivated in the Mekong Delta region, known as the 'rice bowl' of Vietnam that produces three crops per year. However, the surge in fertilizer and pesticide prices, as a result of global supply chain disruption, has urged Vietnamese farmers to cut back crop nutrients and chemical essential to boosting rice yields.
Ease the rising cost strain on farmers
Across the rice fields of Mekong Delta, XAG has been working with local service teams to help rice farmers use resources more effectively and fight the rising costs. Drones designed for agricultural use can reduce seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers without affecting crop yields through precise, effortless operation. According to XAG's local distributor DigiDrone, compared with traditional farming, agricultural drone can spray crops 4 times faster than manual labor while improving yield by 14%.
The Mekong Delta becomes the major battlefield to adopt new technology and shift away from intensive rice farming. In Dong Thap province, XAG P40 agricultural drone was used to spread lime on a 40-day paddy field to treat bacterial disease and provide calcium nutrients for rice plants. In addition to pesticide application, broadcasting of granule fertilizer and crop nutrient is another primary scenario of drones.
During the operation, the young pilot controlled the drone with a smartphone and preset parameters including flight speed, height, lime volume and spreading width to fulfill automation. As the XAG drone carried a 25-liter container and the spreading system RevoCast, the lime powder was spread evenly and accurately on the 1.5-hectare rice paddy. The strong wind force of the drone helped lime in contact with the rice plant from top to bottom, saving 30% lime powder and enabling better absorption by the crops.
Maintain good yield with less effort
An agricultural demonstration was also held in Dong Thap to compare the results of manual sowing and direct seeding by drone. Farmers used to work all day bending over, ankle deep in the mud to transplant seedlings, but now rice seeds can be sown directly into the flooded fields, which requires less labor and saves time.
Flying autonomously on the pre-programmed route, the XAG P40 agricultural drone could distribute rice seeds uniformly into the designated area. The performance of drone seeding was as smooth as manual operation to help farmers achieve optimal plant density. It is reported that one hectare of rice crops was sown in two hours with 160 kilograms of seeds that had nearly 100% germination. As the winter-spring season came to an end in April, this rice paddy had reaped an actual harvest of 8 metric tons per hectare while saving seeds by 35%.
Nguyen is a rice farmer in his 40s who lives in the Mekong Delta region and grows a rice field of 4 hectares. He uses XAG's agricultural drone for the first time this year to sow seeds, spray pesticides and spread fertilizer, becoming an early adopter of drone technology in Vietnam's farming industry. Over the past years, Nguyen had to carry a heavy backpack spreader or an old-fashioned hand sprayer, which was not only inefficient but also increased the risk of exposure to chemical.
"Traditionally I could only spray an area of 5 hectares in a day, but now with the help of XAG's farming drone, 30 hectares of rice fields can be precisely treated without lots of effort," said by Nguyen. When applying fertilizer to boost rice growth, the drone can also help Nguyen halve the amount of fertilizer and spread at an efficiency of 10 hectares in a single day. The same area of fertilizing operation would take farm workers several days to complete manually.
As an increasing number of farmers realize the benefits of drone, this new technology will soon scale up in Vietnam to boost the resilience of smallholders against climate change and market fluctuation. To serve the growing crop protection demand on a larger scale, XAG will be ready to release a new model of agricultural drone for the Vietnamese market that feature larger payload capacity.

Georgian side win inaugural competition – but what does the future hold? Francisco Isaac reports
Black Lion win Rugby Europe Super Cup
The first season of the Rugby Europe Super Cup has come and gone, initiating a new era for emerging European nations and giving the Spanish, Portuguese, Georgian, Dutch, Israeli and Belgian unions a taste of professional (or at least semi-pro) level.
It has certainly had its challenges – launching in a Covid-affected climate and the conflict in Ukraine resulting in the suspension of the two Russian teams – but we can expect further improvements in year two.
So who won the trophy in its inaugural season and what does the future look like?
Black Lion win Rugby Europe Super Cup
In the grand finale, Black Lion were crowned champions after beating Lusitanos 17-14 in extreme heat at the CAR Jamor ground in Lisbon.
For the opening 40 minutes, both sides traded blows, but it was the Georgians who took the first points thanks to their maul – a weapon put to work well since day one of the competition. Lusitanos replied with a try (an excellent team move finished by Manuel C Pinto) and a penalty to take the lead into half-time.
The few moments of brilliance spiced up a closequarters match, dominated by (almost) unbreakable defenses, with Black Lion getting a slight advantage at the breakdown.
During the second half it seemed Lusitanos came out more refreshed, applying good pressure and slotting another penalty, taking control of the game flow until the visitors started to climb in physicality, overpowering and pushing the Portuguese franchise backwards, which would ultimately mean a change of tide.
A well-oiled Georgian pack usually results in points when they are just a few metres away from the whitewash and that came to fruition when the clock was nearing the last quarter of the game: thundering scrum, advantage, successful pick-and-go and Tengiz Peranidze pulling a dummy to score Black Lion’s second try of the final.
From that point on, Lusitanos could only muster three more points as the home side found it difficult to breach Levan Maisashvili’s excellent defensive strategy, while a Giorgi Babunashvili kick gave Black Lion an advantage on the scoreboard.
The referee’s final whistle drew to a close the last Super Cup game of the season, crowning Black Lion as the first-ever champions of this tournament’s maiden year, making it two from two for the Georgians in 2022, as they also conquered the Rugby Europe Championship.
As for the impact of the competition on Georgian rugby, head coach Maisashvili said: “As this was the first time we played as a franchise team, it was very important to win the tournament, and I think this will be a good memory and experience for our boys.”
An elated Merab Sharikadze was holding the Super Cup firmly in his hands, bearing a beaming smile, as he said: “The people were expecting us to win, and I’m pretty sure our country is proud of what we did today.”
What next for the Rugby Europe Super Cup?
After 27 matches across a fierce pool stage and a heated semi-final round, was it all just another rugby competition? Not for these franchises, staff, players and fans. Instead, it revealed a promising new world of opportunities and possibilities.
It seems to have been widely recognised that the franchises were able to produce a higher competition level, bridging the gap between local club rugby and the national team, while development thrives with a stronger calendar, keeping the rugby and sports community engaged throughout the year.
Old and new rivalries are thriving, players are developing faster and the unions have a new product to sell to sponsors who are seeking broader recognition.
There is still plenty of scope to develop the tournament, with two new teams being mooted. We will have to see how this develops, but we hear of possibilities of Romanian involvement.
Beyond the quality clashes and the loud cheers coming from the stands, patience will be the Super Cup’s most challenging hurdle, not only due to economic pressure to succeed (unions will have to add the professionalisation costs to their budget), but also to be able to build a competent project.
The Super Cup might go to sleep on the field until September, but the competition itself left a deep mark (yes, a life cliché) and everybody who followed this colourful physical and technical ‘parade’ in this debut year of the competition, is already waiting for it to restart all over again.
