The supercomputer has provided what it believes will be the Premier League table at the end of the season.
Football Web Pages’ sophisticated model has weighed up all the components and laid out what it feels to be the final 20 positions by the final round. Liverpool’s draw with Tottenham meant that the title is now in the hands of Manchester City, who recently demolished Newcastle at the Eithad 5-0.
The Citizens have been at the top of the Premier League table for most of the season - but the Reds’ form this year had them looking behind a fair bit. Despite the final scares, the supercomputer expects that Man City will be crowned champions, with three points between them and Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Elsewhere, the supercomputer has predicted that Tottenham will manage to secure a top-four over their fiercest rivals Arsenal. The pair play at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Thursday evening, in what’s sure to be a crucial encounter. The Gunners will instead find themselves in a Europa League spot along with West Ham, who will make sixth according to the supercomputer.
Under them in seventh will be Manchester United, who manage to match the Hammers but fall beneath them on goal difference. Newcastle fall to 14th place despite at one point reaching ninth in the table. Brentford, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace each come ahead of the Magpies.
At the bottom of the table, Everton climb to 15th and even leapfrog Southampton, who make one below the Toffees. In the relegation scrap, Burnley survive and stay in the Premier League for another season, meaning it’s Leeds who fall to the Championship, along with already-relegated Norwich and Watford.

The classic cars driven by Dennis Waterman - including the ill-fated Capri from 'Minder'
THE LATE Dennis Waterman drove some iconic British classics including the Minder Capri that caught fire.
Actor and musician Dennis Waterman who passed away at the weekend aged 74 was well-known for being one of the most-streetwise hardmen on TV. But he was also seen behind the wheel of some of the most iconic cars the country has ever produced.
His roles in The Sweeney, Minder and New Tricks were all accompanied by magnificent motors.
Those included a Triumph Stag, a Jaguar S-Type and the Ford Capri from Minder which almost met a tragic end.
Some of his most famous cars are below, including that two-litre Capri that passed into folklore.
He’ll certainly always be remembered leaning against a car, looking menacing.

New Tricks
The show which ran on the BBC between 2003 and 2014 was a smash hit, with Waterman playing former Detective Sergeant Gerry Standing.
In the show he drove a beautiful convertible 1977 Triumph Stag, which when it went up for auction back in 2015 had less than 20,000 miles on the clock with an estimate of just £10,000.
In the series, Standing sells his Stag to help his daughter pay for a buggy for his newly born grandchild.

The Sweeney
The hard-hitting 1970s drama was famed for its exciting car chases, allowing Waterman and co-star John Thaw to get behind the wheel of a number of powerful cars.
The most famous was a 1974 Ford Consul 3000GT, however a number of original Jaguar S-Types were also seen in the series.
Thaw himself drove a Ford Capri which usually had no trouble catching up to the hundreds of bad guys on the show.
Minder
Waterman’s most famous role as Terry McCann also came with his most famous car, the white 1977 Ford Capri 2 S.
The car survived unscathed after filming ended in 1994 and 22 years later it was bought at auction by a private owner for £50,000.
However it very nearly disappeared for good when just two years ago it caught fire by the side of the M25 motorway on the way back from an MOT.
Luckily it was salvaged and restored to former glory by Classic Car Restorations of Canterbury, at a cost of around £12,000.
Meanwhile Arthur Daley’s motor, the 1981 Daimler Sovereign, went at the same auction for around £32,000.
The car was previously given away in the ‘90s as a prize in a TV Times competition, and actor George Cole tried to buy it unsuccessfully.
Following his death, Waterman's family said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that our beloved Dennis passed away very peacefully at his home in Spain.
“The family kindly ask that our privacy is respected at this very difficult time.” | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1607579/dennis-waterman-cars-minder-capri-fire | 2022-05-09T14:50:30Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1607579/dennis-waterman-cars-minder-capri-fire | true | 1 |

Traffic jams, train congestion and airport queues can lead to a stressful time when you are trying to catch a flight.
If you miss a flight and it's the airline's fault you can get money back. But if you miss it because you were not at the gate in time, then you do not have the same rights. However, there are things you can do to try and claw some money back, or get on to a flight, or even to get through security quicker when the clock is ticking.
With more 'chaos' reported at Manchester and Birmingham airports where passengers have said they have been standing in security queues for hours, we take a look at your rights if you miss your flight.

Can I get a refund if I miss my flight due to airport security delays?
In general, you will not be entitled to a refund if you miss your flight because you are not at the departure gate in time. Even if that is because the airport security queues were too long and you stood there for hours. If you miss a flight because you are not at the gate in time, it is deemed to be your fault.
The only scenario you are entitled to a refund in is if the airline cancels your flight. You can also get money back for delayed flights too.
As Flight Delayed states: "What happens very often is that passengers arrive at the airport with plenty of time to check-in, only to find that there are huge queues. What most people don't realise is that airlines will most likely deny you boarding if the long queues cause you to not arrive at the check-in desk or gate on time, despite what airport personnel may tell you.
"If you’ve arrived late at the airport at your own fault, unfortunately, the airline is not forced to provide you with a replacement flight and you will have to cover the expenses if you still want to travel to your final destination."
TravelSupermarket says: "Unfortunately if you’ve missed your flight due through a fault of your own, you will not receive a refund from your airline.
"Generally, the only time you will get your money back is if the airline cancels your flight."
If you miss your flight, you can try and claim Air Passenger Duty back from your airline, although some airlines, like Jet2, charge for this service. You can claim £26 for short-haul flights and £150 for the long haul.
I'm running late for my flight and there's a huge security queue, what can I do?
If you are stuck in the security queue and can see it's getting to be a close shave with making your flight, try speaking to a member of staff. Sometimes they are willing to move passengers to the front of the queue if their flight is imminent. Don't rely on that though, it is probably less likely to work when airport queues are leaving angry passengers stuck in lines for hours.
If it is clear you are going to miss your flight, get in touch with the airline. There is a chance that if enough passengers are late, they could delay the flight. This also means you are not a "no show" so the airline may help move you onto another flight. In addition, your checked-in luggage can be removed from the plane and given back to you.
Does my airline have to get me on the next flight if I miss mine?
If you have missed a flight because you are late for it and it's your own fault (and it's considered your fault if it's down to lengthy security queues) the airline does not have to put you on another flight - different rules apply to connecting flights if you have missed them due to a delay. However, if you speak to your airline as early as possible, they may be able to offer you a ticket on another flight.
Some airlines will rebook you onto another flight for a small(ish) fee if you have arrived at the airport within a reasonable time. Ryanair, for example, will offer customers a £100 "missed departure" fee to rebook them if they arrive within an hour of their original flight's departure time. Easyjet offers a £100 "rescue fee" to rebook passengers if they arrive within two hours of their original departure time.
"To do this, you must present yourself, with valid documents, to our ground crew at bag drop at the airport within two hours following your missed flight’s scheduled departure time," EasyJet says. | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/airport-queues-your-rights-you-23904552 | 2022-05-09T15:10:30Z | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/airport-queues-your-rights-you-23904552 | true | 1 |

New York (WCBS) -- There was a Mother's Day tragedy in Queens. A mother was critically injured in a hit-and-run crash.
As CBS2's Thalia Perez reported from Jamaica, police now need help tracking down the suspect.
Police found the abandoned truck just five minutes away from the scene, but they're still searching for the driver.
Video obtained by CBS2 shows the moment a white Ford 550 slams into a white sedan that neighbors say belongs to the victim's daughter. You see the two run up to the truck and confront the driver. Police said it happened at around 8:30 a.m. on 120th Avenue at 168th Street.
"I just wish that they stayed on the sidewalk and just called police instead of coming in the street and trying to be too vigilant," neighbor Calvin Williams said.
As Perez reported, 120th Avenue is a dead end and the truck was making an illegal U-turn.
The third person seen on the video told Perez off camera he is a neighbor and tried to intervene. But before the incident ended, the driver is seen slamming into several more parked cars to complete the U-turn, including dragging a silver one and pinning the victim in between it and another car.
"I've never seen that truck, but I did hear from the owner of this business right here that a lot of people are dumping and we were keeping a vigilant eye out for the dumpers," Williams said.
According to several neighbors Perez spoke to, the end of the street is an area where people are known to pull up and dump garbage. Hours later Sunday, police found the truck abandoned on 108th Avenue and 164th Place with serious front-end damage. A neighbor shared a Ring video that shows the suspect parking the car and then walking away. Late Sunday, police said the truck was initially reported stolen.
Police said the victim is in critical condition at Jamaica Hospital. Neighbors said she is a mom and from Nigeria. They also said she works as a surgical nurse.
Again, no arrests have been made and the driver remains on the run.

Actor Liam Neeson is the latest celebrity to make an appearance on Donald Glover’s critically acclaimed series “Atlanta.” During the Thursday, May 5, episode, the “Taken” star apologized for an admission he made in 2019, in which he expressed an urge to kill a random Black person after a close friend was sexually assaulted by a Black man.
The 69-year-old briefly appeared on Thursday, May 5, in an episode titled “New Jazz,” alongside Brian Tyree Henry’s character Paper Boi both of whom were seen sitting at a bar. Paper Boi picks up his drink shortly afterward, unveiling a napkin that reads “CANCEL CLUB.”
Neeson tells him, “You might’ve heard or read about my transgression — you know, what I said about what I wanted to do to a Black guy. Any Black guy, when I was a younger man. A friend of mine had been raped, and I acted out of anger.”
The Irish star said in hindsight ”It honestly frightens me.” He continued, “I thought people, knowing who I once was, [that it would] would make clear who I am, who I’ve become. But, with all that being said … I am sorry. I apologize if I hurt people.” Paper Boi tells the actor that between the two men, he still loves his movies before adding, “It’s good to know that you don’t hate Black people.”
Neeson quickly corrected the rapper, stating, “What? No, no, no, I can’t stand a lot of you.” He added, “Now I feel that way because you tried to ruin my career. Didn’t succeed, mind you. I’m sure one day I’ll get over it, but until then, we are mortal enemies.”
“But didn’t you learn that you shouldn’t say sh-t like that?” a confused Paper Boi questioned before Neeson said, “Aye. But I also learned that the best and worst part about being white is you don’t have to learn anything if you don’t want to” and walks off.
Neeson’s apology was seemingly well received as fans hurried over to their social media accounts to react to Neeson’s commentary, including one Twitter user who wrote, “They really got Liam Neeson to say the quiet part out loud on #AtlantaFX.”

Neeson’s shocking revelation came during an interview with The Independent while promoting his film “Cold Pursuit,” an action-thriller film where Neeson’s character seeks revenge for his son’s murder. Drawing similarities to his own experience, the actor revealed that he wanted to avenge the rape of a friend.
“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody – I’m ashamed to say that – and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could…kill him.” The backlash poured in almost immediately. | https://news.yahoo.com/donald-glover-convinced-liam-neeson-133200809.html | 2022-05-09T15:18:19Z | https://news.yahoo.com/donald-glover-convinced-liam-neeson-133200809.html | true | 1 |

Dubai received 630,000 international health tourists in 2021, according to a report released by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) during the ongoing Arab Travel Market in Dubai.

The three medical specialties that attracted the most health tourists were dermatology (43 per cent), dentistry (18 per cent), and gynaecology (16 per cent). Other medical specialties included orthopaedics, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, health and wellness, and fertility treatments.

His Excellency Awadh Seghayer Al Ketbi, Director-General of DHA, highlighted the exceptional global competitiveness of Dubai’s health tourism offerings and the tremendous growth and advancement seen by its health sector in the past decade. Dubai’s emergence as a global health tourism destination reflects the high efficiency and capabilities of the emirate’s health infrastructure and facilities and the safe and high-quality multidisciplinary healthcare it offers, he said.

He stressed that the Dubai Health Authority will continue to enhance health tourism in line with Dubai's aspirations and goals.
Al Ketbi praised the close cooperation between the private and government health sectors based on a common vision to provide the highest quality of medical care and ensure Dubai is at the forefront of global cities in the field of medical tourism.

WARSAW | Russia’s ambassador to Poland was splattered by red paint thrown at him by protesters opposed to the war in Ukraine, preventing him from paying respects on Monday at a Warsaw cemetery to Red Army soldiers who died during World War II.
Ambassador Sergey Andreev arrived at the Soviet soldiers cemetery to lay flowers on Victory Day, which marks the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Allies. The holiday was celebrated with pomp in a parade at Red Square in Moscow.
As he arrived at the Soviet Soldiers Cemetery in the Polish capital, Andreev was met by hundreds of activists opposed to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Video footage shows red paint being thrown from behind Andreev before a protester standing beside him throws a big blob of it in his face.
The protesters prevented the ambassador and others from laying their flowers at the cemetery.
The protesters carried Ukrainian flags and chanted “fascist” and “murderer” at him, while some were dressed in white sheets smeared with blood, symbolizing the Ukrainian victims of Russia’s war. Other people in his entourage were also seen splattered with what appeared to be red paint.
Police arrived at the scene to help the ambassador and other members of his delegation get away.
Protesters also marched in Warsaw to protest the war, bringing a tank on a tractor and parking it in front of the Russian Embassy on Sunday evening. Since the war began on Feb. 24, images of Ukrainian tractors hauling off Russian tanks have been symbols of Ukrainian resistance.
The Soviet cemetery is set amid a vast park on the route linking downtown to the international airport. It is the final resting place of more than 20,000 Red Army soldiers who perished fighting while helping to defeat Nazi Germany.
While Poland has removed some monuments to the Red Army in the years after it threw off Moscow-backed communist rule, it has allowed the cemetery to remain undisturbed.

Days ahead of Congress' 'Chintan Shivir' (brainstorming session) scheduled to be held in Udaipur, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) congregated at the party's Delhi headquarters on Monday, 9 May, with an objective to set the agenda for the session.
In her opening address, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi stressed that the "single over-riding message that goes forth loud and clear from Udaipur is one of unity, cohesion, determination, and commitment to our party’s accelerated revival."
She added,
"The party has been central to the life of each and every one of us. It has expected our total allegiance and has been good to each and every one of us. Now, when we are at a crucial juncture, it is imperative that we step forward and repay our debt to the party in full measure."
The three-day 'Chintan Shivir' is scheduled to start from 13 May and around 400 top party leaders, including members of parliament, state in-charges, general secretaries, and state presidents will be present.
"Self-criticism is of course needed in our party forums. But this should not be done in a manner that erodes self-confidence and morale and an atmosphere of gloom and doom prevails... This requires that the Chintan Shivir does not become a ritual, something we must just get through. I am determined that it should herald a restructured organisation to meet the many ideological, electoral and managerial tasks we confront."Sonia Gandhi
Besides a precursor to the meeting in Udaipur, the meet also deliberated increased social representation in all party divisions, NDTV quoted sources as saying.
Following Monday's CWC meeting, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad expressed satisfaction and said that discussions will be held on reports that leaders have shared.
The meeting comes after the Congress suffered major losses and witnessed its popularity diminish significantly in the recently-held Assembly elections in five states.
In this background, the party sought to address forthcoming electoral challenges and proposed political strategist Prashant Kishor join its Empowered Action Group.
The EAG was formed by Sonia Gandhi after the election strategist presented a detailed roadmap for changes in the party's top brass ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
However, Kishor has declined an offer to join the Congress, saying that he had turned down the offer from the Congress as the party is in greater need of leadership and collective will to fix deep-rooted structural problems.

6-year-old allowed to run full marathon
CINCINNATI (WXIX/Gray News) - Controversy followed the Flying Pig Marathon last weekend after a 6-year-old was allowed to run the full 26.2-mile race.
The 6-year-old’s family, numbering eight total, ran the race together and finished with the same time. The other five children are ages 11, 15, 17, 19 and 20.
The race has a posted age minimum of 18 years old.
Race organizers said they justified allowing the 6-year-old to race because the family has had a pattern of racing as so-called “bandits,” or racing without paying or following the rules.
Flying Pig executive director Iris Simpson Bush said in an open letter published Wednesday, “The intent was to try to offer protection and support if they were on our course (Medical, Fluids and Replenishment). Our decision was intended for some amount of safety and protection for the child. The family finished the race after the formal closure of the race course.”
Bush also said the marathon “takes the safety and security of all participants very seriously,” accepted responsibility for the decision and also accepted that “it was not the best course of action. Our requirement of 18+ for participation in the marathon will be strictly observed moving forward.”
The executive director’s full statement was posted by WXIX.
David Nelson has been a member of the Cincinnati Running Club since the ‘70s. He’s an avid local runner who believes a full marathon is too much for young children.
“I’m OK with young kids running 5Ks,” he said Wednesday. “I see that occasionally. And a lot of these races have these kids runs. That’s OK, too. But I just think a 6-year-old, even if you’re a kid prodigy, that’s too much.”
Nelson can only remember once he’s ever seen a young child run marathon distances. He says he’s glad race officials didn’t interfere and and feels the decision should be left up to the parents whether the child should run.
The story appears to have gotten national attention as well.
Kara Goucher, a two-time Olympian and World Championship runner, saying in part via Twitter on Wednesday: “I’m not questioning motivation or saying it is bad parenting. But as an Olympic athlete, I promise you this is not good for the child. Children are children. Let them run around, but as the parent you need to protect their growing bodies and their young minds.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A week after a decades-old body was found in Lake Mead, authorities are working to identify a second set of human remains.
Two sisters from Henderson were paddleboarding in Callville Bay Saturday when they spotted the remains.
Lindsey Melvin told Las Vegas' KLAS-TV that they thought it was a bighorn sheep. But when they noticed a human jaw, the women immediately called park rangers.
The National Park Service confirmed in a press release they are human skeletal remains.
Las Vegas police say they are not treating it has a homicide case. The remains are currently with the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
The discovery comes after a body in a barrel was found in the lake that encompasses both Nevada and Arizona. In that case, police say the body was a man who had been shot. The killing probably happened between the mid-1970s and the early 1980s because the victim was wearing shoes that were manufactured during that period.
Drought has dropped the water level of Lake Mead on the Colorado River in southern Nevada and northern Arizona so much that Las Vegas’ uppermost water intake became visible two weeks ago.
Police have speculated that decline in water level could yield more bodies being discovered. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Investigators-work-to-ID-2nd-set-of-remains-from-17159200.php | 2022-05-09T15:46:02Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Investigators-work-to-ID-2nd-set-of-remains-from-17159200.php | true | 15 |

Samoan rugby player Kelly Meafua dies after fall from French bridge
By Toyin Owoseje, CNN
Kelly Meafua, a Samoan rugby star, has died after falling from a bridge in France following his team’s final game of the season.
French rugby club US Montauban confirmed the 32-year-old back-row forward had not survived the fall into the river Tarn in the early hours of Saturday morning, despite the efforts of a teammate to save him.
In a statement shared on its website, the club expressed its pain and shock at Meafua’s sudden death hours after his team’s 48-40 victory over Narbonne in the country’s second-tier league.
The club said Meafua’s Montauban teammate tried to resuscitate and save him but had to be rescued by firefighters himself. He was hospitalized with hypothermia and discharged the following day.
“All the USM Sapiac club are shocked by this tragedy, and all thoughts are with his wife, his children, his teammates, and more generally, all the loving supporters of the club,” the statement continued.
The message, translated from French, also paid tribute to Meafua as a player “appreciated by all, his cheerfulness was communicative and radiant.”
“Today we have lost a player, a friend, a brother,” it added of the former Samoan Sevens star.
Jean-Baptiste Fourcade, a spokesman for US Montauban, told CNN on Monday that the Montauban prosecutor has opened an investigation into Meafua’s death, adding that officials are looking at it as a “tragedy” and not “a bad ending to a party.”
According to the Guardian, Meafu moved to New Zealand as a teenager. He enjoyed stints with the Otahuhu under-21s and Auckland Sevens, before moving to Sydney to play for West Harbour and the Greater Sydney Rams.
After moving to France in 2015, the Guardian reported, Meafu played for French second-division teams Béziers and Narbonne.

Return Lilian Nganga's 1800 Shares You Transferred to Your Sister, Court Orders Alfred Mutua
- Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua will return the 1800 company shares he had transferred from former lover Lillian Nganga to his sister Ann Mbandi
- This is after a court ruled that the transfer had been done fraudulently and ownership should revert back to 50/50
- The Maendeleo Chap Chap leader was also ordered to return the car that had been taken away from the estranged girlfriend

Former Machakos First Lady Lillian Nganga has come forth with allegations that her estranged lover Alfred Mutua transferred her company shares to his sister.
In a press statement shared on social media, Lillian claims that the Machakos Governor initiated the fraudulent transfer of Ndash Enterprises Ltd shares to Ann Mbandi Mutua.
Shareholding reverts back to 50/50
She adds that the 1800 shares were, however, reversed by the Registrar of Companies on May 6, 2022, after she filed a complaint in November 2021.

"Ndash Enterprises Ltd (A&L Hotel mother company) reverts to 50/50 shareholding as shown in the CR12 printed on May 9, 2022," she explained.
The statement further alludes to the fact that the presidential aspirant also transferred Lillian's car registered as KBY 186G.
Signed by Murgor who is representing Lillian, the report indicates that the complainant is hopeful that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations will look into the fraudulent deal and ensure justice is served.
Mutua asked Lillian to return his money
In November last year, a month after the romantic relationship between Mutua and Lillian went sour, the latter claimed that her ex was demanding that she return any money he gave her.
"I requested Alfred Mutua for a mature and amicably separation...after all, we were not married. Mr Mutua takes away everything I have and everything I own. Indeed this has already started as he has demanded through his lawyers that I refund any money he has ever given to me or made available for me," she disclosed.
She added that the Maendeleo Chap Chap leader also threatened to harm people close to her and demanded she apologises and retracts the two statements she made on social media regarding their break-up.
As of the time of filing this report, Mutua was yet to issue a statement regarding the developments.

AL’s assurance of fair polls a trap for BNP: Rizvi
He also said people cannot understand what Obaidul Quader exactly meant by "fair election", as there is an "Awami version" of the fair election which the country’s people have been watching for 14 years
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday said Awami League's assurance of a fair election is only a trap to deceive their party.
"Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader assured that the next election would be fair...We would like to say joining the polls without a non-party neutral government means falling into their trap of deception," he said.
Speaking at a press conference at BNP's Nayapaltan central office, Rizvi also said what the ruling party leaders and the prime minister are saying about the fair election is nothing but a deception.
He also said people cannot understand what Obaidul Quader exactly meant by "fair election", as there is an "Awami version" of the fair election which the country's people have been watching for 14 years.
The BNP leader also said the definition of Awami League's fair voting is to hold the election without votes like in 2014 or stuffing ballots at night like in 2018 by using all the forces to subdue the people and by establishing a reign of terror.
He said people will be able to cast their votes as per their wish only if the election is held under a non-party government. "That's why we're on a movement for holding the election under a non-party neutral government."
Rizvi also opposed the government's plan to hold the election using the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), noting many countries already backed off from this system due to various faults.
He said ballot papers must be used instead of EVM for holding a fair, credible and transparent election.
The BNP leader said people got a message in advance that the next polls will be marred with massive rigging and vote robbery from Obaidul Quader's comment that the election will be held using EVM and the Election Commission will remain neutral.
He also slammed the ruling party general secretary for his remark that BNP must join the election for protecting its existence. "Obadiul Quader's remarks give an impression that he is not only the general secretary of Awami League, but also an advisor of BNP."

Ecommerce chatbots: 4 effective ways to use them
Ecommerce chatbots are the perfect tools to boost sales. The increasing role of AI chatbots in online shopping is hard to ignore.
There aren’t many tools that can create smoother shopping experiences for users. But, not every company knows how to use these chatbots to their advantage.
Not testing these chatbot apps to their limits is a waste of time and money.
Here, we’ll discuss the 4 most effective ways to use eCommerce chatbots for your online business.
- Add Them on Different Pages
You can now use Shopify chatbots on your eCommerce sites to interact with customers. And why shouldn’t you?
Over 50% of website users enjoy using chatbots because it is convenient, specifically the faster response time.
The great news here is that you can use them on different pages too.
It may be a good idea to do so for one simple reason. You never know when a customer might have a query.
For example, assume a customer doesn’t have queries when they reach your landing page. But, that doesn’t mean they won’t have queries when they navigate through your website. The best Shopify chatbots allow you to address these queries wherever your client may be at any given moment.
Say they are browsing through the product catalog and they wanted to ask for assistance. Your chatbot should be available on this page to answer the client’s needs.
This would eventually improve customer satisfaction and affect overall retention rates in the long run.
- Use Effective CTAs
Using the right call-to-action (CTA) can help you engage customers.
These customers would then click on your chatbot icon to interact with you via messenger. It’s a good idea to have a call-to-action reflecting the page you’re on.
For instance, if a customer is on your landing page, your CTA can be a general message. Or, if a customer is on your product page, your CTA should relate to the product in question.
Plenty of product pages features chatbots with a CTA about how an item is out of stock. They also feature a ‘Should we notify you message’ alongside the ‘Out of Stock’ message.
So, customers receive a prompt to stay in touch with you thanks to the chatbot function.
In this way, a CTA can help you reach customers using means other than your website. It encourages customers to stay in touch via email and other communication channels.
A great advantage of CTAs is that you can use them on social media too. Everything from your display ads to your content marketing pieces can feature them.
This versatility is what makes CTAs so effective. You should hire a PPC expert or marketing professional to write your CTAs.
Customers can sniff generic messages from a mile away. They prefer ads with personalized messaging while shopping online.
Your CTAs should be unique and inspire customers to buy your products.

- Personalize Answers to Boost Sales
Even the best shopping bots can fall short if you don’t prepare them for customer questions. A customer might get frustrated using your bot if it doesn’t give them the answers they’re seeking.
Remember, customers spend their time and effort interacting with these chatbots. The answers to customer questions should be concise and informational. These answers should also have a personal touch to them.
You must remember that every customer is unique and has unique preferences. Thus, personalization plays a huge role in today’s marketing efforts.
You could ask customers a series of questions to determine their preferences. Their answers to your questions should help you determine the solutions to their needs.
Considering their preferences will help you create a satisfactory shopping experience for your customers.
You could also consider the features of each product. You could frame questions around these features for chatbots on a product page.
In this way, you can prepare your bot for pretty much every product-related question a customer might ask.
Some customers could ask unusual questions that are hard to answer. But, you can prepare for the most common questions and take it from there.
- Add Visual Elements to Maintain Interest
It’s easy to focus on creating informational answers to questions for your AI chatbot. But, it would be more effective to add visual elements to your bot.
Including emoticons in your messages could help spruce things up for your customers. It may not be a big touch, but it adds a dimension to your conversation.
Customers will believe you to be more approachable if you use emojis the right way. After all, most people use them to express themselves in chat windows.
So why keep them out of Shopify chatbots? You could even use stickers and GIFs to entertain your customers.
The longer you hold their attention, the longer they’ll consider buying your product. But, remember to use emojis or stickers that are relevant to your conversation.
Adding visual elements that don’t mean anything could distract from your conversation.
A distracted customer will start looking elsewhere to find the products they want.
Also, GIFs and emojis aren’t the only visual elements you can add to your messages. Your chatbot conversations could feature images.
Using images would be useful when your chatbot appears on a product page. If a customer clicks on the product page chatbot, they may have a query about the product.
You could feature images of the product in your answer to their query. Or, you could add images of alternative products that are more suitable for the customer.
The images your online chatbot shows them should be relevant to their query. Don’t try to dazzle them with products they haven’t shown an interest in.
Doing so can appear too sales-y and can be off-putting for customers. Stick to what they’re looking for and you’re good to go.
Conclusion
Ecommerce platforms are benefitting every day from online chatbots. These bots not only boost but also boost customer retention.
The impact of Shopify chatbots can transcend platforms to connect with customers. For instance, some bots ask customers to share their contact details with them.
Online businesses then get in touch with these customers via SMS or email. So, using chatbots can widen your reach.
You won’t have to rely as much on offline marketing methods if you use these bots. Using them the right way can also ensure you stay one step ahead of your competitors. | https://tynmagazine.com/ecommerce-chatbots-4-effective-ways-to-use-them/ | 2022-05-09T15:54:41Z | https://tynmagazine.com/ecommerce-chatbots-4-effective-ways-to-use-them/ | true | 1 |
BANGKOK (AP) — Police in northeastern Thailand have arrested a forest-dwelling self-proclaimed holy man whose followers allegedly worshipped corpses and consumed bodily fluids as a cure for sickness, officials said Monday.
There were chaotic scenes as officers raided the thatched house of 75-year-old Thawee Nanra on Sunday deep in a jungle in Chaiyaphum province. Supporters screamed and jostled with police as the bearded, shirtless white-haired man was led to a police vehicle.
Police said they found 11 corpses on the premises and local media said they were believed to be the bodies of his followers.
Provincial Gov. Kraisorn Kongchalad said Thawee had at least a dozen followers living with him. Coffins containing bodies were scattered around the house. Devotees reportedly told authorities that the leader’s urine and phlegm were believed to be cures for diseases.
Kraisorn said he was shocked to discover such practices still went on in the modern age.
“It’s quite disturbing to see that there are people who believe in such superstition. But this is not only about a personal belief anymore. We have dead bodies, and we will have to work with all agencies to establish facts surrounding these individuals,” he said by phone.
Thailand’s population is overwhelming Buddhist, but many people hold beliefs outside the religion, such as the worship of local spirits and fear of ghosts.
The authorities believe the group existed for more than four years without anyone noticing because the location of the leader’s house was in a remote forest area, away from other communities.
But their anonymity ended after a daughter of one of the followers complained to a social media celebrity whose specialty is exposing unscrupulous religious figures.
Thawee was initially charged with encroaching on a forest area — his house was said to be on public land — and illegal gatherings prohibited under disease control laws that have been used in the past two years to battle the coronavirus.
Local media reported that he was denied bail on Monday.
Police say they are looking into other charges, including unlawful disposal of bodies. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/police-in-thailand-arrest-leader-of-corpse-worshipping-cult/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-05-09T15:55:30Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/police-in-thailand-arrest-leader-of-corpse-worshipping-cult/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | false | 37 |

Greenlight Capital Q1 2021 Letter
Fund Letters
11.05K Followers
Summary
- Green Light Capital is a privately owned hedge fund sponsor. The firm invests in the public equity and fixed income markets of the United States. It primarily invests in value.
- The Greenlight Capital funds returned -0.1% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 6.2% for the S&P 500 index.
- Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.
- At quarter-end, the largest disclosed long positions in the Partnerships were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners.

Russia's oil output rose in early May from April and production has stabilised, Deputy Prime Minister
Alexander Novak said on Monday, news agencies reported, after output fell in April in the wake of Western sanctions imposed over the Ukraine crisis.
"Looking at the figures of early May, they are better than in April. The situation is stable, the output increased in comparison to April. We are counting on partial recovery of data in May and that it will be better,"
Novak was quoted as saying by
TASS news agency.
Russian oil production has faced headwinds from Western sanctions over what Moscow calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.
The United States has banned Russian oil imports, while Western sanctions against Russian banks and vessels crippled the oil trade, one of Moscow's key sources of revenue. The
European Union is also considering fully banning Russian oil.
Interfax news agency, citing a source familiar with the data, said last week that Russian oil and gas condensate production declined in April by almost 4% year on year to 41.12 million tonnes, which amounted to around 10.05 million bpd for the whole month.
It has also said oil and gas condensate output on May 1-3 edged up by 2% from April to 1.402 million tonnes per day (10.28 million bpd).
Novak also said Russia was considering expanding capacity of its oil-exporting ports and the ESPO pipeline in Russia's far east, according to the reports, after President
Vladimir Putin ordered the diversification of Russian oil exports to tackle sanctions. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/oil-and-gas/russian-oil-output-rising-in-may-novak-says-agencies/91437944 | 2022-05-09T16:13:14Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/oil-and-gas/russian-oil-output-rising-in-may-novak-says-agencies/91437944 | true | 2 |

Named Ganvie, the village is located in Benin. It may not have as many tourists as the Italian city, however, it has a historical representation of great significance and is growing interest by international tourists. The history of Ganvie begins in the 17th century when the Portuguese trade in African slaves was expanding on the western side of the continent, the inhabitants of the village called Tofinu sailed into the Nokoué fleeing the slave traders of the Fon tribe, from the powerful African kingdom of Dahomey. In 1996, UNESCO declared the African Venice as one of the world heritage sites. With such a peculiar location, history, culture and tradition, tourism has gradually replaced fishing as Ganvie’s main source of revenue. Around 10,000 tourists visit the lake village annually, according to local the tourism office. The rental of canoes heading to the lake became one of the main tourist attractions in the city. Recently, Ganvie was spotlighted in the Netflix’s docuseries “High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America,” which explores the journey of American cuisine from Africa. This docuseries was based on James Beard Award-winning author Jessica B. and hosted by the food writer Stephen Satterfield.

Charlotte Maxeke Hospital's casualty department set to reopen on Monday
JOHANNESBURG - Health officials are waiting with bated breath for a crucial section of the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital to reopen on Monday following a host of delays.
The hospital was gutted by a fire more than a year ago.
Last month, Health Minister Joe Phaahla promised that repairs to the hospital's casualty department would be completed by the end of April.
That wasn't the case and the delay has had a massive knock-on effect on the province’s healthcare system.
Phaahla is expected to lead the official reopening of the accident and emergency units but health officials aren't impressed.
Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital flatlined over a year ago.
The once-bustling hospital, which served as the artery of Gauteng’s health network system, is now a symbol of the national and provincial government’s ineptitude.
The continued failure to meet the inconsistent deadlines to fully reopen the hospital has led to a health crisis that needs far more than a public outcry.
At the Helen Joseph Hospital, patients have been forced to squeeze in next to each other as they wait for treatment - if they are lucky enough they’ll get a bed in one of the overcrowded wards.
Head of the emergency medicine department, Dr Patricia Saffy said that it was a heart-wrenching scene.
"When you got up to 70 people waiting on chairs which you don't have plus 30 people on the bed, and we've got nowhere to move them to it's a huge strain," Saffy said.
The busy corridors are the least of this facility's problems - Dr Saffy said that they did not have enough staff, money, or resources which means that vulnerable patients are at risk while doctors are overburdened.
"I don't know how our healthcare system is going to continue to function the way it is at the moment," Saffy said.
Health Minister Joe Phaahla is expected to reopen the accident and emergency unit.

Nigerians have been abandoning the country en masse for the longest time. The checking out and exodus of the 80s aren’t to be quickly forgotten, nor are the visa lottery schemes of the 90s. So what seems like a coordinated escape from the country in recent years is not entirely new to our national consciousness.
Pulse Cares: Origin of the word 'Japa'
When did Nigerian emigration get this snazzy name it now goes by?
But none of these past emigration campaigns and periods has been as significant, or as documented as what is ongoing right now. It’s 2022 and Nigerians are getting out in droves. Now that it coincides nicely with an age of mass information being dumped on the internet, it only makes sense that emigration stories are being shared in real-time, going viral and becoming more of a spectacle than it has ever been for previous generations.
The implication of this is that everyone knows about it, everyone follows it and everyone seems to have an idea of how it's shaping up.
But while emigration remains an age-long reality and ever-present aspiration for many Nigerians, no word has been more interwoven with the idea than ‘japa,’ the recent social media speak that has permeated pop culture and all other facets of Nigerian life. All conversations surrounding travel and emigration out of Nigeria are now interwoven with the word.
But how and when did emigrating from Nigeria get this snazzy new word coined for it?
What is Japa?
Simply put, it is a Yoruba word that means ‘flee.’ The etymology of the word involves ‘ja’ which means to break loose and ‘pa,’ which, in this context, refers to the intensity or severity of an action.
Essentially, you can say ‘japa’ means to ‘run hard,’ or better still and more preferably, just say ‘flee.’
How Japa became synonymous with Nigerian emigration
The exact period when this switch occurred cannot be ascertained with bull’s eye accuracy; but the first popularized, pop-culture use of the word can be traced to Naira Marley’s 2018 song “Japa.”
In the song, the singer narrates a story of weaving and turning at high speed, in a bid to evade policemen who are giving chase. The part of the song most instrumental to this piece is where he sings:
Japa japa, japa lo London // Japa japa ja wo Canada // Japa japa, ja wo Chicago // Japa japa, ja lo si Africa.
In those lines, he’s singing about japa’ing [fleeing] to London, Canada, Chicago and Africa.
This song didn’t do badly; just like most of Naira Marley’s other songs of the time. Mind you, this was after ‘Issa Goal’, and Naira was already well-known and somewhat adored. The British-Nigerian rapper was even nearing his beast mode where all his songs were monster hits propelled by his constant issues with Nigerian authorities.
So, the song ‘Japa’ was well-received and somehow, the slang it carried slowly bled into social media conversations, especially as it relates to escaping the deteriorating conditions of Muhammadu Buhari’s Nigeria.
Maybe the song had nothing to do with it, but japa in this context wasn’t much of a thing, if at all, before that song.
This was 2018, mind you, when the Naira was 361 to the Dollar. Sure, things are waaaay worse now as Buhari readies to check out of Aso Rock but at the time, no hardship was comparable and of course, there was an exodus. The exit of that period slowly imbibed the moniker ‘Japa.’
By 2019, it was already an established thing on social media to refer to emigration as ‘japa-ing’ out of the country.
Now, it is not only established but has become wildly popular that almost all conversations on emigration – not just on social media – are now centered around the word.
The future of japa in Nigeria
To think that much will change, from all indications, seems like a pipe dream. With the country deteriorating quickly in key areas like economy and security, emigration seems primed to keep being an aspiration, a dream, a prayer point in churches and other religious bodies that Nigerians throng to. As a matter of fact, one out of three Nigerians has considered travelling out of the country for good.
Only if wishes were horses...

According to the pro-life organization Campaign Life Coalition, Abbotsford’s Grant Abraham, who was running for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, is a victim of cancel culture.
Abraham was recently deemed ineligible for the CPC leadership race, but an email shared to his Facebook page from CLC director Jack Fonseca states that they believe Abraham was treated unfairly by the party.
Fonseca said that Abraham met all the requirements, but the CPC’s hidden rules sunk his bid.
“Excitement turned to outrage when, on Sunday [May 1] evening, we learned that Grant Abraham received notice from the party that he allegedly did not meet the financial requirements, in spite of having raised the stated $300K buy-in fee and having obtained the required signatures by the 5 p.m. deadline on April 29th,” the email states.
RELATED: Abbotsford’s Grant Abraham deemed ineligible for Conservative leadership race
Fonseca said that additional fees were added to the $300,000 and that was the reason Abraham was disqualified.
“What they told us is that the party tacked onto the total donations a 15 per cent administration fee that candidates would have to obtain on top of the $300,000, making the real total that a candidate had to raise $345K or even $353K, depending how it’s calculated,” he said.
The email states that Abraham will be appealing the decision based on the ‘false advertising’ of the $300,000 fee.
Fonseca said he believes the CPC is discriminating against conservatives who are pro-life, noting that Leslyn Lewis is the only leadership candidate in the running who is pro-life. He said the party was unable to discriminate against Lewis because she already has a significant following and the backlash would be high.
“One of the pillars of the CPC, and of the broader ‘small-c’ conservative movement, is democracy – letting the people, not the elites, decide who should represent them,” Fonseca said. “Therefore, this sort of cancel culture has no business in the Conservative Party.”
Abraham also announced over the weekend that he will be holding a press conference over Zoom today (Monday) at 9 a.m. to reveal more details about his appeal.
The News has reached out to Abraham and the CPC for more details, but they have not yet responded. | https://www.kimberleybulletin.com/news/campaign-life-coalition-calls-abbotsford-leadership-hopeful-cancel-culture-victim/ | 2022-05-09T16:37:38Z | https://www.kimberleybulletin.com/news/campaign-life-coalition-calls-abbotsford-leadership-hopeful-cancel-culture-victim/ | false | 13 |
NEW YORK (AP) — A day after calling Yankee Stadium a “Little League ballpark” following Gleyber Torres' game-winning home run over the right field short porch, Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward said he regretted his postgame remarks.
“Probably bad words on my part,” he said Monday. “I gave it a layup for a lot of people. But listen, I meant no disrespect, obviously, to this place. And it’s obviously a world-class organization, ballpark. I talk about it as always being like one of my favorite places to come play, but I understand why Yankee fans will get upset about it. That’s why I love them.”
Torres' ninth-inning drive off John King (1-1) traveled 369 feet and was hit at 106.5 mph, giving the Yankees a 2-1 win in a doubleheader opener.
“Small ballpark. That’s a easy out in 99% of ballparks,” Woodward said Sunday. “Just happened to hit it in a Little League ballpark to right field."
Torres' shot would have been a home run in 26 of the 30 major league ballparks, according to MLB Statcast.
“His math is wrong — 99%'s impossible," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “There’s only 30 parks.”
New York took a swipe at Woodward when Giancarlo Stanton hit a 461-foot home run to left in the second game, a 4-2 Texas win.
“We are going to guess this is a home run in 30/30 major league ballparks,” the Yankees tweeted.
Torres' seven walk-off hits since 2018 are the most in the majors in that span. That was his second game-ending homer.
“Both teams play in the same ballpark. It's the same dimension,” Torres said. “I feel good to hit a walk-off homer in the Little League ballpark.”
Woodward, in his fourth season as the Rangers' manager, is familiar with New York from his time as an infielder with the Mets in 2005 and '06. He laughed a little bit at the Yankees tweet.
“I adore the city. The ballpark is probably one of my favorite places to come," Woodward said. ”They've got a short right field. They always have. Honestly, it was back to the old park. And that’s kind of what makes this place unique in a lot of ways. And hats off to Gleyber. Man, he hit that ball hard."

Supreme Court stays proceedings on new IT rules in High Courts
News outlets and media bodies have filed pleas in various High Courts arguing that the rules will allow the government to directly control their content.
The Supreme Court on Monday put a stay on the proceedings pending before various High Courts on petitions against the new Information Technology Rules, notified by the Centre last year, Live Law reported.
A bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and Abhay Oka passed the order while hearing a bunch of petitions challenging the rules. However, the judges said that they will not interfere with any interim orders about the rules passed by the High Courts, according to Bar and Bench.
The stay order will be applicable till the next hearing on the petitions in the Supreme Court on May 19.
The new rules and petitions in High Courts
The new rules, notified in February 2021, constitute a set of sweeping regulations framed to regulate social media companies, streaming and digital news content, virtually bringing them, for the first time, under the ambit of government supervision.
For digital news media and video streaming platforms, the new rules provide a self-regulatory body and an inter-departmental committee wide-ranging punitive powers to “warn/censure/admonish/reprimand the publisher” or even censor content as they deem fit.
Several media outlets have challenged the new rules in courts. They have argued that the guidelines will allow the government to directly control their content.
The High Courts of Delhi, Bombay, Madras and Kerala have been hearing petitions challenging the IT rules.
The Kerala High Court has already provided relief to digital media organisations. In separate orders in March and July last year, it had asked the Centre not to take action against legal news portal Live Law and the News Broadcasters Association.
In August, a division bench of the Bombay High Court had stayed the implementation of Rule 9 (1) and (3) of the new IT rules. The provisions deal with the code of ethics under the new IT rules.
The court had passed an order based on pleas filed by digital news website The Leaflet and journalist Nikhil Mangesh Wagle.
In December, the Madras High Court also directed the centre to not take any coercive action against digital media organisations under the new IT rules. This judgement was passed on a plea filed against the IT rules by the Digital News Publishers Association, an organisation of 12 digital media outlets, along with journalist Mukund Padmanabhan.
The Delhi High Court has also been hearing two petitions challenging the Centre’s regulations.
One of the petitions was filed by the Foundation for Independent Journalism, a trust that owns the news website The Wire, Dhanya Rajendran, the founder and editor-in-chief of The News Minute and The Wire Founding Editor MK Venu. The other plea was filed by the news website The Quint. | https://scroll.in/latest/1023568/supreme-court-stays-proceedings-on-new-it-rules-in-high-courts?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | 2022-05-09T16:41:34Z | https://scroll.in/latest/1023568/supreme-court-stays-proceedings-on-new-it-rules-in-high-courts?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | true | 2 |

California is poised this year to make changes to what some call “hidden” court fees, hundreds of dollars often tacked onto traffic tickets and minor violations that can increase their cost nearly tenfold. But so far, state officials disagree on how far to go.
Known as a civil assessment, the fee is imposed on hundreds of thousands of Californians as a penalty for failing to pay a ticket by a deadline or failing to appear in court on a charge.
The vast majority of the fees are issued in traffic or infraction cases. A fine can be imposed each time a deadline is missed.
A $300 maximum fine can be added for violations as minor as jaywalking and on tickets that originally cost as little as $35, according to the Debt Free Justice California, a coalition of organizations, policy experts and legal advocates opposing “unfair ways the criminal legal system drains wealth from vulnerable communities.”
California has one of the highest late fees in the nation, the coalition says. The group says the fees trap low-income Californians in a cycle of ballooning debt with the courts.
Money collected from the extra charges bolsters court coffers, leading advocates to accuse the state of paying for its judicial system by charging those who can least afford it.
The fees generate nearly $100 million annually, and the courts retain more than half.
In Riverside County, the fees that the court system kept made up 14% of its budget, according to a report published by the coalition this year.
The report gave as an example a San Lorenzo resident who is a CalWorks recipient and mother who could not afford to pay for traffic violations. She was charged late fees on traffic citations five times since 2009, amounting to more than $1,500 of debt, about double the cost of the original tickets.
It made her ineligible for a driver’s license for 13 years, the report said.
“They were trying to take all of this money away from us,” she said, “but we didn’t have any in the first place.”
Civil assessment fees are disproportionately borne by people of color, who are overrepresented in traffic stops compared to their share of the population, the report said.
In January advocates sued San Mateo County Superior Court challenging its practice of automatically charging the $300 maximum fee in all traffic cases with a missed deadline.
Gov. Gavin Newsom in his January budget proposed halving the fees, to a maximum of $150, and spending $50 million to backfill court budgets.
The proposal by some lawmakers and the Debt Free Justice coalition to eliminate the fees entirely could cost about twice as much. Senate leaders endorsed that plan in their budget proposals last month, as they announced an unprecedented $68 billion projected budget surplus.
Too poor for tickets
The coalition said it hopes Newsom will back full elimination of fees when he unveils his revised budget proposal this week. H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for Newsom’s Department of Finance, declined to comment.
The Judicial Council, which governs the court system, has supported making changes to civil assessments. In a 2017 report a commission of courts officials recommended limiting the use of civil assessments or letting fines be converted to community service.
“We’re grateful for the efforts of both the Governor’s administration and the Legislature to reform the system and provide necessary backfill funding for the judicial branch,” said Martin Hoshino, administrative director of the Judicial Council, in an email. “We support the Governor’s proposal and are committed to working with him and with legislative leaders in the coming weeks as they finalize the state budget.”
The proposals come after the state eliminated dozens of court fines and fees over the past two years that advocates said disproportionately affected low-income criminal defendants. The state repealed such charges as the cost of a public defender, drug testing, and probation and supervision services.
Newsom also signed a law last year that limits the state’s use of wage garnishments to claw back those debts and another that expanded a pilot program allowing Californians to ask the courts to reduce ticket fines they can’t afford to pay.
Last year a bill to eliminate civil assessments passed the state Senate but was gutted in the Assembly. The Debt Free Justice coalition said at the time it couldn’t get Newsom to agree to a deal to eliminate the fees.
His administration told lawmakers the fee should be reduced but remain to motivate defendants to come to court.
“We feel the 50% reduction strikes a balance of providing immediate fiscal relief for all Californians and also preserving the viability of the civil assessment being used as a tool to keep individuals accountable, to compel individuals to appear in court proceedings,” Mark Jimenez, principal program budget analyst at the Department of Finance, told a Senate budget subcommittee in February.
Jimenez said the penalties are an alternative to issuing warrants to demand court attendance.
But Senators were unconvinced that the fees were an effective motivator for those too poor to pay traffic tickets.
“If they don’t have the money … how is that any incentive to come in?” said Sen. Dave Cortese, a Democrat representing San Jose. “You either have it or you don’t.”
The coalition surveyed 200 Californians with recent traffic citations for its report; 73% said they did not know they would be issued a late fee for failing to appear or to pay, and 38% said extra fees would not have helped them make a timely payment.
Advocates suggested text messages would be more effective at getting defendants with demanding work schedules to court.

- Published
Supermarket group Morrisons has won a battle to rescue McColl's, the convenience store and newsagent chain, and taken on all 16,000 staff members.
Morrisons beat a rival offer from EG Group, the petrol station empire, owned by the billionaire Issa brothers.
Morrisons will pay off McColl's debts, take on its 1,160 shops and pension schemes, with 2,000 members.
The supermarket's boss said the deal offered stability and continuity for the business, its staff and pensioners.
McColl's was put into administration by PwC on Monday and was immediately sold to Morrisons.
Rob Lewis, joint administrator and partner at PwC, said the deal provided "much needed certainty to McColl's 16,000 staff after a period of understandable concern".
Morrisons Chief Executive, David Potts, said: "Although we are disappointed that the business was put into administration, we believe this is a good outcome for McColl's and all its stakeholders.

Continuing their dominance in a depleted field, Indian junior archers confirmed six more medals, including two gold, in the individual sections of the Asia Cup Stage 2 here on Monday.
Having sealed six medals in team events on Sunday, the Indians did an encore in the individual sections riding on a superlative show by the compound archers.
Prathamesh Fuge, Rishabh Yadav and Jawkar Samadhan, who bagged the top-three seeds, lived up to the qualification rankings to keep India in the hunt for a rare clean sweep in the compound men's individual section.
Top seed Fuge edged out Sergey Khristich of Kazakhstan in a thrilling shoot-off 143-143 (10*-10), by landing his arrow closer to the centre to make the final.

I used to shop for headphones and earbuds all the time. They never lasted longer than a few months and the sound quality was never amazing. Two years ago I found the Apple Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds and I am completely obsessed. Yes, they're a major investment upfront, but with time, the price tag is definitely worth it because of the amazing durability and high-quality sound. Normally, these retail for $250, but thankfully there's a sale. You can save $70 during a limited-time flash sale.
I love these earbuds because they actually stay in my ears, which is obviously what they're supposed to do, but that just never happened when I used AirPods. Instead, I had to be very careful, avoiding any sudden movements so I didn't have to keep picking them up off the floor. I've never successfully worked out with earbuds until I got these from Beats. These Apple Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds easily clip onto my ears, they sound amazing, and they don't feel heavy or constricting at all. The best part for me is that a little bit of charge goes a long way. I can charge these for just 5 minutes to get 1.5 hours of battery.
These are sweat-resistant and water resistant, which makes them perfect for working out. You can even just use one at a time if you want since there are controls on both earbuds. They're compatible with iOS and Android devices. If you have a pair of these and one of your friends does too, you can both listen to the same device at the same time. No more splitting up a pair of headphones to watch a video or TV show together.
These are my absolute favorite earbuds. They have 56,900+ 5-Star reviews from Amazon shoppers. Get these while there's a $70 discount. You won't regret the purchase.
Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds
The Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds are sweat-resistant, have 9 hours of listening time, and they have a built-in microphone, which is perfect for calls.
I'm not the only one who adores these wireless earbuds, check out some of the 56,900+ 5-Star Amazon Reviews.
Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds Customer Reviews
A shopper raved, "Battery life, and sound quality is absolutely perfect. The earphones hold perfectly in place even during HIIT, and the sweat resistant makes it better than apple AirPods."
Another person gushed, "THE best truly wireless headphones on the market right now and equally wonderful for both workouts and casual listening. The fit is so secure and comfortable that they'll not budge in the most rigorous of activities and sound GREAT."
An Amazon shopper explained, "First I need to start with the fact that I'm EXTREMELY picky when it comes to headphones and I've bought over 20 pairs from Amazon from brands to no brands. These are the first pair of headphones that I've worn to the gym that have not needed a single adjustment! I have weird ears and no in ear headphones have ever fit me this well. The seal is great and it just doesn't move!"
A fan of the earbuds explained, "These things feel great. They don't move. No wires. I take one headphone out and they pause. Controls on both sides... Great battery life. I can work out with just one in. Doesn't matter which ear. Speaking of working out. How many times have you deadlifted and snagged a wire? Not anymore! Handstand push-ups? Easy day! They're just awesome. I pull them out of the case and my iPhone just connects."
"Absolutely love these headphones! I came from Airpods, then Airpod pros, then Beats Studio Buds, and now these. These are on a level of their own, they're so great," an Amazon customer reviewed.
A shopper declared, "These are by far the best Beats yet! Beats have been classified with several key values in the audio devices category: High-bass, hard-hitting, high-quality sound, great for workouts, stylish (both for their subtlety and their loud, 'look-at-me' color palettes)."
"These PowerBeats Pro buds feel like the culmination of lots of R&D, and as the culmination of the brand - available in a subtle, stylish black matte finish, they are professional and low-profile. In their Ivory, Moss or Navy schemes, they are still subtle but have that stylish flair typical of Beats industrial design," an Amazon customer said.

Jonathan Siyachitema (born 1932) was an Anglican bishop in Zimbabwe. Siyachitema was the former Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Harare.
Background
In 2021, Jonathan Siyachitema lost five family members in a space of a few weeks to Covid-19. He lost his wife Rosemary, who was a celebrated consumer activist and the executive director of the Consumer Council of Zimbabwe.
His daughters, Elizabeth and Rosemary, as well as his brother, Reverend Fanuel Siyachitema, and sister, Mrs Judith Bindu, also reportedly succumbed to Covid-19.[1]
Education & Career
Jonathan Siyachitema was educated at Sarum College in Salisbury, England. He was ordained a priest in 1971 for the diocese of Bulawayo and served as Archdeacon of Matabeleland from 1974 to 1978 then Dean of Bulawayo until 1981. He was appointed suffragan bishop of the Lundi in 1981 and was elected Bishop of Harare in 1995, retiring in 2000.[2]
In July 1996, Jonathan Siyachitema was replaced as the President of the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC). Before his replacement as ZCC President, Siyachitema had caused controversy in Zimbabwe by publicly criticising homosexuals, but a ZCC official said this was not the reason for his replacement.
Enos Chomutiri who was ZCC vice-president at the time said Siyachitema was replaced because he had served as president for two four-year terms, so the council felt a change was needed.[3]
Comments On Land Invasion By War Veterans
In 2000, Jonathan Siyachitema issued a statement on the invasion by war veterans of white-owned farms in Zimbabwe.
He said the diocese “believes most sincerely that the land in this country must be shared in accordance to the proportion of the inhabitants and that the resources must be distributed more equitably but this has to be done in a lawful, orderly and transparent manner that is devoid of corruption."
He said the diocese had set up a Justice, Peace and Reconciliation Committee to address racial, tribal or cultural conflicts and work towards their reconciliation.
Siyachitema said the “war of liberation was fought largely to repossess the land that was grabbed by the settler colonialists. The only people who can resolve this issue are Zimbabweans only without any influence from outside.” [4]
Death
Jonathan Siyachitema died in May 2022. He was mourned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa who granted Siyachitema a State-Assisted Funeral in the light of his outstanding contributions to society.[5]

As diversity rises, US boards still disproportionately white
NEW YORK — (AP) — Amid the push to get U.S. boardrooms to look more like companies’ customers and employees, advocates are finally seeing just how steep the task will be.
Boards of directors at publicly traded U.S. companies are much more white and much less diverse than the overall population, often starkly so. Just 2.7% of directors at the start of the year were Hispanic, for example. That would need to soar to 18.5% to mirror the U.S. population.
Outside of looking at a photograph of each director, it hasn’t always been easy to measure racial diversity on corporate boards. On Thursday, executive data firm Equilar released its first racial breakdown of boards for companies in the Russell 3000 index, which covers about 97% of all investable U.S. stocks.
The survey found only 6.2% of directors are Black, versus 13.4% of the country. And the 5% of directors who are of Asian or Pacific islander descent also fell short of the 6.1% for the entire U.S. population.
Equilar pulled the numbers from a range of sources, including disclosures from companies, data from affiliate networks and lists of influential executives from racial and ethnic minorities. Its results are similar to the disproportionate representation found in other surveys of more limited groups.
Executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles earlier this week released its roundup of boards at a smaller group of companies, those in the Fortune 500. It found that Black directors hold 26% of board seats, while Asian or Asian American directors had 9% and Hispanic directors held 6%.
Bigger companies tend to have more diverse boards than smaller companies. But more across the board are being transparent about the racial breakdown for their board of directors. A big reason for that is because they're being forced to, with pressure coming from stock exchanges, regulators and investors.
At the Nasdaq, for example, U.S. securities regulators approved a rule last summer requiring companies listed on its U.S. exchange to file an annual document detailing racial and ethnic backgrounds of its directors, among other demographic data. Nasdaq even has a fillable PDF form available to make it easier for companies, which have to submit the data by Aug. 8 or whenever they file their 2022 proxy statement, whichever comes later.
By Aug. 7, 2023, Nasdaq will require a listed company to either have at least one director considered “diverse” or explain why it doesn't.
Investors are making similar pushes, arguing that more diverse boards lead to more points of view and better decision-making. They want boards to look more like their employees and customers, which are increasingly diversifying along the country's trends, to better understand them.
“If you’re an investor, you’re looking for ways that companies can outperform,” said Ann Miletti, who is both chief diversity officer and head of active equity at Allspring Global Investments. “We generally agree that the more diversity you have on your board, the better performance that you’re going to get in the long run.”
The push for more racial and ethnic diversity on boards follows years where the focus was mostly on gender. Thursday's numbers from Equilar show how women from racial and ethnic minorities are among the least represented on boards. Just 0.9% of U.S. directors are Hispanic women, for example, half of the already low 1.8% for Hispanic men.
Some of the requirements to increase diversity have met stiff resistance. California, for example, passed a law in 2020 requiring companies with principal offices in the state to have a minimum number of directors from an underrepresented community. That includes people who self-identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
A California state court earlier this year ruled the requirement unconstitutional following a complaint that it violated California's equal protection clause. The judge wrote in his decision that the state should have considered other options for achieving greater diversity on boards before mandating it.
Such requirements did end up increasing racial diversity on boards, but in an uneven manner, said Vicki Bogan, professor at Cornell University’s SC Johnson College of Business.
Her research found that board appointments went up substantially for directors of Asian, Middle Eastern and North African descent after the signing of the California law. But the number of appointments for Black directors did not. That’s likely because California companies were substituting nominees from the first group for the second to comply with the rule, she said.
Bogan said the 2020 murder of George Floyd had a bigger effect, specifically for the appointment of Black directors.
All U.S. companies showed an increased probability of appointing a Black person to its board following the forced recognition of racism across America, she said. But companies that had zero Black directors had an even bigger jump in probability.
“I think it's too soon to tell whether this is temporary or not,” she said. “What I can share is I hope it's not. I hope we're on the path to having more boards that are more representative of the population."

Arizona is the #3 state with the most historic sites at risk of flooding

Arizona is the #3 state with the most historic sites at risk of flooding
Rising sea levels. Runoff from rapidly melting snow and ice. Rivers and streams overflowing their banks. As climate change continues to wreak havoc on the environmental norms humans widely take for granted, the frequency and severity of extreme weather has increased on a global scale. Floods, the most common and fatal natural disasters in the U.S., continue to get more destructive. Catastrophic flooding events once thought to occur every 100 years could become annual happenings. And the nation’s floodplains are projected to grow by roughly 45% by the end of the century.
Because of the deterioration and fragility of historical buildings, as well as long-term degradation of the natural environment around these structures, historic sites are often at serious risk of flooding. Stacker identified historic buildings of national significance across the U.S. located in census tracts with very or relatively high risk of flooding, using data from Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Risk Index and the National Register of Historic Places. The National Park Service outlines six criteria for what makes a historic building on the registry nationally significant, a less rigorous designation than being considered a National Historic Landmark. FEMA calculated the risk of flooding for each census tract by combining geospatial and historic flood-event data from the National Flood Insurance Program and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For each state, a maximum of three historic sites are listed in order of their flood risk, though many states have more at-risk sites in total. Colorado, Connecticut, and Idaho did not have nationally significant sites on the registry located in high-risk flood regions; as such they are absent from the national list.
Keep reading to see which historic sites are at risk of flooding in your state, or explore the national list with an interactive map here. Stacker is also publishing the raw data it merged to produce this story, available on GitHub and data.world.
Arizona by the numbers
– Historically significant buildings with risk of river flooding: 24
— Brigham City, Winslow (very high risk)
— Gila Pueblo, Globe (very high risk)
— Harquahala Peak Observatory, Wenden (very high risk)
From the observatory at Harquahala Peak, one can reportedly see California, Nevada, and Mexico. The high elevation and views inspired the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to build the Harquahala Peak Observatory to study the sun in 1920. Only in use for 25 years, the building is now largely deteriorated and accessible via hiking trail. Because of the high elevations of the surrounding mountains, as well as a nearby stream, the town of Wenden is susceptible to flooding.
Now that you know how many sites are at risk in your state, continue reading to see which states have the most historic sites at risk of flooding.
States with the most historic sites at risk of flooding
1. Florida: 32 historically significant buildings with risk of flooding
2. New York: 28 historically significant buildings with risk of flooding
3. Arizona: 24 historically significant buildings with risk of flooding
4. Pennsylvania: 22 historically significant buildings with risk of flooding

How Cardiff city centre's shops looked back in 1997
More than likely you shopped at most of these stores and whilst some are still there, a few of them have gone
It was the year when the world went mad for the Spice Girls, the blockbuster film Titanic broke records worldwide, Wales said 'yes' to devolution and the country said 'goodbye' to Diana, Princess of Wales. The year is, of course, 1997 - and how times have changed.
Cardiff at the time was a great place to shop and while a lot has changed over the last 25 years, some of the shops and shopping centres are no longer with us whle others look totally different now.
It was also the year that the Ferry Road Retail Park opened - which is now known as the Cardiff Bay Retail Park.
Do you remember shopping at the likes of Woolworths, Littlewoods/Index and gone but not forgotten Queens West Shopping Centre? If so, we would love to hear your memories, so please leave them in the comments section below

eBay spent time answering financial analysts’ questions about its first-quarter performance last week, and the head of eBay Marketplaces Jordan Sweetnam popped into the Seller Announcement board to update sellers.
You can read the full post yourself – here are some quick thoughts.
Sweetnam said eBay performance came in at the high end of expectations. “In the first quarter of 2022, we reported $19.4 billion GMV and 142 million daily active buyers.”
What he didn’t say was as important as what he did say:
That GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) number was down 17% compared to the first quarter of 2021, and the number of active buyers dropped 13%, down from 163 million in the first quarter of 2021, as we reported on the EcommerceBytes blog.
While it’s arguable whether to call that “strong results,” press reports confirmed his characterization of eBay performance as coming in at the high end of expectations, even though its guidance, like Etsy’s, was “weak,” according to media reports.
“Our strategy remains sound, smart and durable,” Sweetnam said. “Sustained investment in focus categories continues to pay off, as we double down on trust and authenticity, innovation, and engaging enthusiast communities. eBay’s purpose is translating into a powerful differentiator, especially with younger consumers.”
As eBay told Wall Street, it continues to focus on certain verticals – focus categories now include watches, sneakers, handbags. P&A (eBay Motors Parts & Accessories), Refurbished and trading cards. Given that’s eBay’s focus, it makes sense, as Sweetnam reported, that “most are the fastest growing businesses on eBay.”
He also said eBay had 18 million “enthusiast buyers” who make up 71% of all goods sold on eBay. They shop 30 times/year and spend an average of $3,000/year.
(While Sweetnam didn’t mention it in Thursday’s post, eBay has been telling Wall Street that its focus on “high value” buyers is the reason why its active buyers metric has declined. eBay Chief Financial Officer Stephen Priest told analysts on Wednesday that it had anticipated the decline in active buyers and that it was skewed towards eBay’s “low-value” buyers.)
Sweetnam also listed enhancements completed in the first quarter “to better showcase your brands, to drive more free traffic, to make it easier for enthusiasts to find your stores, and to encourage buyers to ‘save’ favorite sellers.”
He did not mention the controversial new unified listing experience that has recently become mandatory for sellers, some of whom say they find it problematic.
Sweetnam did tell sellers in his post what else eBay is working on in addition to its focus categories: “We will continue to heavily invest in trust, user experience, and new tech and marketing,” he said.
Sweetnam’s post is available on eBay’s Seller Announcement board, and you can dig into eBay’s latest earnings report on its Investor Relations website.

Hyderabad: Narayanpet District Congress chief K Shivakumar Reddy was booked by the Punjagutta police on charges of raping a woman on the pretext of marriage.
According to the police, Shivakumar met the victim in 2020 and expressed his intention to marry her. When the woman questioned him on his previous marriage, Shiva Kumar convinced her saying his wife was critically ill and would not survive beyond three years and that he needed a woman to take care of him. Later, he tied a yellow thread to her.
“Afterwards, Shivakumar called the victim to a hotel in Punjagutta and raped her. He allegedly took pictures of the woman and threatened to make those public if she informed anyone,” the Punjagutta police said.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The last thing the family of two sisters slain in a tiny South Carolina town had heard about their killer was that he was headed to a mental hospital in 2012 to be treated for schizophrenia so he could later be tried for murder.
For 10 years, they heard nothing. Then, a few months ago, friends started to call a son of one of the women with the news that they had seen Joseph Jermaine Brand around Kingstree, family attorney Lori Murray said.
Darren Tisdale, a son of the other sister and mayor of the town of 3,100, then began searching for Brand, spotting him just a couple of miles from where police said he confessed to shooting the two women in the head after breaking into their home in October 2010. Tisdale called prosecutors but got no answers.
“He executed two elderly women,” Murray said. “I can’t believe he isn’t a danger to the whole town just out walking around.”
Murray and the families of Naomi Johnson, 65, and her 74-year-old sister Thelma Haddock, planned to hold a news conference Monday afternoon in Kingstree to discuss the case. They gave the sparse court records they could find and other information to The Associated Press in advance.
At the courthouse, a clerk said there was no record of Brand's arrest or indictments for two counts of murder, armed robbery, first-degree burglary and a weapons charge. The records could not be found online either, although there were some court records still available in a file where the arrest warrants were kept. Other public records show Brand, 43, registered to vote from an assisted living home near Columbia in 2016. At one point, he also had a Facebook page.
That's the only tangible piece of evidence about where Brand was until he showed up in Kingstree again. No one has given the family any explanation for why his charges just disappeared.
A judge's order in 2012 said if Brand's mental competency was restored, he was to be brought back to Williamsburg County and held without bond for his trial. Under the law, a prosecutor could seek 30 years to life in prison for Brand, with the possibility of a death penalty trial.
Prosecutors have promised to reinstate the charges and said they will ask a grand jury to indict Brand again at the end of the month, Murray said. Solicitor Chip Finney didn’t return a phone message or email from the AP. Neither did the assistant prosecutor who signed off on dropping the charges because of the competency problem or Brand's public defender at the time.
A woman in Kingstree identifying herself as Brand’s grandmother hung up on an AP reporter Monday. No one responded to a message left at a telephone number listed for Brand’s mother.
Members of the sisters' family said they had faith in the system, even when a call to Finney to check on the case in 2018 went unanswered. That was, until they saw Brand walking around free.
“It has been very hard on the whole family having to relive this event all over again," the family said in a statement issued through their attorney. “We want justice for our mothers. We want closure for our families, we want Joseph Brand to pay for his crimes and we want answers as to how and why he was released without prosecution.”
Brand lived a few doors down from Johnson and Haddock in 2010. He had moved to Kingstree to live with his father after a stint in a Nevada prison on charges of robbery, drugs and firing a gun out of a vehicle, according to legal records.
Brand came over to the sisters' house and asked to spread pine straw for money. When they refused, Brand barged into the home, wrested a gun away from one of the sisters and shot them several times, including in the head, Williamsburg County deputies said.
Brand's father found him walking aimlessly in the sisters' front yard, investigators said. The father saw their door was open and poked his head in to apologize. That's when he discovered the bodies.
Brand confessed to the killings, according to arrest warrants. But the records show that his mental problems kept him from being able to assist his attorney, prompting a judge to order a psychiatric evaluation. A psychiatrist's report stated that Brand had schizophrenia and his thinking was completely disorganized. The report indicated that Brand refused to take his medicine and that if he did take it, his competency could be restored.
When asked his age after his arrest, Brand responded, “Seventy-nine in Islam years.” Then he said he was 34. One of the two psychiatrists who examined him corrected him, saying court records listed him as being 33. “And a half!” Brand yelled back, according to the report on his mental state.
When asked how he hoped his case would turn out, Brand, who once lived in Reno, Nevada, said he wanted “to return back to the biggest little city."
"I want to return back to life as a rock star,” he said, according to the report.
Brand was first sent for temporary psychiatric treatment, but remained incompetent to stand trial, according to Circuit Judge Clifton Newman, who in November 2012 ordered him to be confined until he was better.
That's where the paperwork trail ends, aside from the record of his registering to vote from the assisted living home in Blythewood in 2016. No one quite knows how Brand ended up back in Kingstree last year.
Murray said even though the solicitor has promised to bring the case before a grand jury, she is concerned about whether that will actually happen because it isn't clear whether Brand was declared mentally competent. She said she still can't get answers from Finney's office.
“We are not making any assumptions,” Murray said.
State mental health officials said privacy laws prevent them from releasing any details of Brand’s treatment. But in a statement Monday, the Department of Mental Health said patients charged with crimes who need long-term care are committed by a probate judge and both that judge and prosecutors are informed when the patient no longer needs involuntary treatment.
Finney's office told the family that investigators have been keeping an eye on Bland since they realized he was back in Kingstree, but Murray said that is little comfort.
“He's still out there,” Murray said. “And I think if there wasn't any problem with the case, they could have brought him back in.”

On May 4, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a half-percentage point in an attempt to combat the nation’s worst inflation in 40 years. It’s the Fed’s most aggressive move since 2000, the Associated Press reports.
On the same day, people claimed on social media that the 30-year mortgage rate in the U.S. had also risen to its highest level since 2009.
THE QUESTION
Is the 30-year mortgage rate the highest it’s been since 2009?
THE SOURCES
- Freddie Mac, mortgage company
- Bankrate, consumer financial services company
- Rocket Mortgage
THE ANSWER
Yes, the 30-year mortgage rate is the highest it’s been since 2009.
WHAT WE FOUND
It’s a common misconception that the Federal Reserve sets mortgage rates – but the agency does influence them, Rocket Mortgage explains on its website. If the Fed increases its interest rate, banks and lenders usually raise mortgage rates shortly afterward. On May 4, the Fed raised its benchmark rate to a range of 0.75 to 1%.
Data from mortgage company Freddie Mac and Bankrate show that the 30-year mortgage rate in the U.S. is currently at its highest level since 2009. This increase “marks an end of the historically low rates that characterized the period following the global financial crash of 2008 and 2009,” Bankrate says.
Freddie Mac reports that the 30-year rate averaged 5.27% for the week ending May 5, up from 5.10% during the previous week. Freddie Mac’s rates have historically trended slightly below those from Bankrate, which reports based on its national survey of large lenders that mortgage rates climbed to 5.38% from 5.22% during the previous week.
If you were to buy a home for $400,000 with a 10% down payment and a 3% interest rate, your monthly payment would be around $1,500, without factoring in homeowner’s insurance and property taxes. In the same scenario with a 5% interest rate, your mortgage would likely be more than $1,900 per month.
In 2009, Freddie Mac recorded the year’s highest averaged 30-year mortgage rate of 5.59% during the week ending June 11. The average 30-year mortgage rate for that year was 5.4%, according to Bankrate’s data.
This is also a marked increase from the 30-year rate recorded one year ago, with Bankrate reporting that it was 3.16% and Freddie Mac data also showing the rate hovering near 3%.
“Low interest rates were the medicine for economic recovery following the financial crisis, but it was a slow recovery so rates never went up very far,” Greg McBride, Bankrate’s chief financial analyst, said. “The rebound in the economy, and especially inflation, in the late pandemic stages has been very pronounced and we now have a backdrop of mortgage rates rising at the fastest pace in decades.”
Interest rates reached their highest point in history in 1981, rising above 18% at their peak, Freddie Mac data show. They steadily declined throughout the 1990s and early 2000s as inflation began to calm down, Rocket Mortgage reports. | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/verify/money-verify/mortgage-rate-highest-since-2009-fact-check/536-ff37e9d0-c2f0-42e1-9a6e-4ac4dc35adba | 2022-05-09T17:09:02Z | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/verify/money-verify/mortgage-rate-highest-since-2009-fact-check/536-ff37e9d0-c2f0-42e1-9a6e-4ac4dc35adba | true | 10 |
No one can tell an over-the-top story as good as Uncle Albert. Famed for starting sentences with 'during the war', he was the long-lost brother to Grandad and arrived in Peckham following his death.
Before ever becoming a hindrance to Del Boy and Rodney Trotter's life, Albert signed up to the Royal Navy as a teenager and was called to duty following the outbreak of the Second World War. Albert then joined the Merchant Navy and spent the rest of his years recounting the unlikely tales from his time at sea, including being 'torpedoed five times!'.
The cheeky, white-bearded uncle loved to play the piano in The Nag's Head, share his wartime exploits, get involved with Del's get-rich-quick schemes, and drop absolute hilarious one-liners, "My grandmother's brother was a safety officer on the Titanic."

Let's not forget his magical talent of falling down holes without hurting himself. Uncle Albert is iconic in British comedy history.The role of Uncle Albert was played wonderfully by actor Buster Merryfield from 1985 until 1996. Sadly Merryfield dies in 1999 following a brain tumour.

If you and a friend noticed different Wordle answers Monday, you’re not alone. The New York Times removed the word “fetus” from its list of answers in order to keep the hugely popular word puzzle “distinct from the news.”
Fetus was meant to be the answer for May 9, having been pre-loaded into the game last year during the puzzle’s development by creator Josh Wardle.
The New York Times removed the word because it’s “closely connected to a major recent news event” — likely referring to a leaked draft ruling that indicates the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade.
In a statement released Monday, the New York Times explained that it altered the answer list in order to preserve its Games division as a “place to entertain and escape.”
The decision in Roe v. Wade holds that the U.S. Constitution protects a person’s liberty to get an abortion free of excessive government restrictions. Advocates across the U.S. have decried that abortion access will be threatened if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
But despite the Times’ efforts, not everyone is seeing the updated puzzle.
In today’s release, the New York Times said “it can be difficult to change words that have already been loaded into the game. When we discovered last week that this particular word would be featured today, we switched it for as many solvers as possible.”
The media corporation said that players who haven’t refreshed the Wordle webpage on their browser may receive the outdated version of the puzzle.
Some on social media had fun at the Times’ expense.
Since acquiring Wordle three months ago, the New York Times has changed a number of the pre-selected answers. Words like “lynch,” “slave” and “wench” have all been removed.
The Times says they’re in the midst of updating Wordle’s technology so that everyone’s puzzle is consistent in the future.
“When we acquired Wordle in January, it had been built for a relatively small group of users. We’re now busy revamping Wordle’s technology so that everyone always receives the same word,” the New York Times said. “We are committed to ensuring that tens of millions of people have a gratifying and consistent experience, every day.” | https://globalnews.ca/news/8820262/fetus-removed-wordle-answer-new-york-times/ | 2022-05-09T17:21:30Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/8820262/fetus-removed-wordle-answer-new-york-times/ | true | 1 |
2022 isn't a repeat of 2002 for VC funds
Twenty years ago, I sat down in a Boston lobster shack with a college endowment manager who looked equal parts dazed and triumphant. "They're really going to give the money back," he said before we'd even been offered water. "Can you f**king believe it?"
Fast forward: 2022 is not 2002.
Backstory: My lunch was shortly after the dotcom crash. VC funds had raised record amounts of cash, predicated on a belief that both the number of tech startups and tech startup valuations would continue to grow.
- Instead, their existing portfolios were hemorrhaging and their limited partners were panicked. Several brand-name firms essentially cut the sizes of funds they had already raised — usually in the 20–50% range — determining that such large sums couldn't be responsibly invested. Some did so voluntarily, while others did so under intense LP pressure.
- Most firms that reduced fund sizes and survived the carnage would be rewarded in future fundraises by appreciative LPs. Some of those that clung to their committed management fees were not so fortunate.
That era's VC fund cuts, which weren't mirrored by private equity, have seeped into this year's social media conversations. And it makes some sense, against the backdrop of record VC fundraising numbers and the tech stock rout.
- But I've yet to find any limited partner who expects a redux, or even is agitating for one. Some reasons:
1. Passivity. We've discussed at length how many of this generation's venture capitalists have never dealt with a lengthy downturn, but it's also true of many of this generation's limited partners. VC funds have generated huge returns for over a decade, so newer LPs are most adept at opening checkbooks and simply asking "How big a number can I write?"
2. Timeline: Even for more experienced LPs, a washout of 2021-vintage funds won't be as painful as the dotcom-vintage funds may have been, because VC fund lifecycles have shrunk from three–four years to one–two years. And, for GPs, there's less incentive to reset the clock.
- One wrinkle here, however, is that fund life cycles may expand on their own, particularly if denominator effects make fundraising more difficult.
3. Dry powder: LPs won't even consider pressuring VC fund managers until they see major markdowns and/or write-offs, and the massive amount of existing fund capital (particularly in the growth stages) could paradoxically prop up valuations for some time to come.
4. Tech maturity: "Internet" tech was still fairly new in 2002, so the crash caused many potential founders (and investors) to question whether launching a new company even made sense. Thus, a major deal-flow deterioration for VC funds. Today, there are no such doubts.
The bottom line: We're just at the beginning of what may be a multi-year correction. Or maybe just a blip that we'll laugh about by Labor Day. Either way, we're not close to that brief moment when VC funds were giving back more than they were taking in. | https://www.axios.com/2022/05/09/2022-2002-vc-funds-repeat | 2022-05-09T17:21:30Z | https://www.axios.com/2022/05/09/2022-2002-vc-funds-repeat | false | 1 |

South Dakota senator moves to rollback child mask mandates
Senator Thune says, “parents want to be in control.”
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) thinks children shouldn’t be forced to mask up. After talking to a concerned Head Start teacher from South Dakota, he’s working to roll back those mandates in every state.
Last week, the Senate passed a joint resolution condemning mask mandates for toddlers.
The measure passed with 7 Democrats in support: including both Democratic senators from Nevada and Arizona.
Sen. Thune believes it could be the sign of a greater shift in easing mandates around the coronavirus, and hopes it will pressure the Biden administration for more rollbacks.
“The toddler mask mandate is a good example of a government overreach at a time when we just don’t need this anymore, and parents want to be in control,” said Thune. “They’re tired of being told by the government how to take care of their kids.”
Joint resolutions express the sentiment of Congress. In this case, the resolution says lawmakers disapprove of rules requiring children in Head Start programs to wear masks and those rules cannot be enforced.
Notably, the resolution passed as the United States crossed a key mile marker: one million deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jared Fogle foundation's ex-head calls himself 'vile,' gets 27 years for child exploitation
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Jared FogleSpokesman
The man who led former Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle’s charitable foundation was sentenced Monday to 27 years in federal prison for sexually molesting young girls with his wife and installing cameras in his home to film and photograph the victims without their knowledge.
Russell Taylor, 50, pleaded guilty last year to 30 child pornography and sexual exploitation crimes for his acts against nine children, aged nine to 16 years old, at his west-side home. Two of the girls were sexually molested by Taylor and his wife, Angela Baldwin.
The couple shared videos and photos of the girls captured via hidden cameras with Fogle, who was sentenced in 2015 to 15 years imprisonment for possession or distribution of child pornography and traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor.
Russell Taylor: Jared Fogle foundation director charged in federal child porn case
Baldwin was convicted in 2020 on four child exploitation and child pornography crimes. She will be sentenced Monday afternoon.
Victim speaks to IndyStar
Taylor’s maximum sentence could have been life imprisonment, but U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt gave him a lesser sentence because he provided important information to federal law enforcement that helped them bring charges against Baldwin and Fogle.
Outside a U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana courtroom in downtown Indianapolis, one of the victims told IndyStar she didn’t think 27 years was enough.
“We have a lifetime sentence,” she said, citing the grief and trauma she and other victims are still living with. IndyStar is not naming her to protect the privacy of a victim of sexual abuse.
In a statement given to the court before the judge's sentencing decision, the victim said she was “showered with money, drugs, gifts and empty promises” by Taylor and Baldwin.
“I will always check for hidden cameras,” she said. “My ability to trust is completely gone.”

Federal prosecutor Kathryn Olivier read statements from other victims — some of whom were Taylor and Baldwin's relatives — who said they expect to need mental health help and medication for the rest of their lives. One victim said she checks for cameras anytime she’s in the bathroom at a house that isn’t hers.
Whenever a photo is taken of her without her consent, like at family gatherings, it spins her into a panic attack.
Because of the abuse, “I thought about death all the time,” one of the victims said through Olivier.
Taylor calls himself 'vile'
Prosecutors requested Taylor be sentenced to 35 years, while his attorneys asked the judge to sentence him to 19 years, citing his cooperation with law enforcement.
Taylor, who was arrested in 2015, told the court Monday that he was a “vile, selfish, self-loathing, sorry excuse” for a human, but that seven years in prison had changed him. He said he’d taken advantage a sex offender rehabilitation class while incarcerated.

In describing how he's changed, he described the victims as “ladies," prompting a correction by Judge Pratt.
“They were all children,” she said.
Pratt also described the four-year grooming, exploitation and molestation of the children from 2011-15 as a “mutual perversion” between Taylor, Baldwin and Fogle.
The victim who spoke with IndyStar said she didn’t believe that Taylor had changed. She pointed out that Taylor expressed shame at having installed cameras in his house during his statement, but that he didn’t directly call out the sexual exploitation of minors to which he pleaded guilty.
It was the first time she had spoken in public about her experience.
Taylor was originally sentenced in 2017 but a judge found his lawyer failed to challenge three criminal charges against him for which there was no factual basis. His case was reopened because he received ineffective legal assistance.
The victim who spoke with IndyStar didn't testify that time. "I regretted that a lot," she said.

She felt something after she took the stand. It may have been relief, but it's too early to know.
“It’s been a long time coming,” she told IndyStar. “I don’t think I know how I feel just yet.”

Prosecutor says ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ novelist confessed to killing real-life husband
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Murder of Daniel Brophy
The romance novelist who penned the infamous essay titled, “How to Murder Your Husband”, and who stands accused of fatally shooting her own husband in 2018, allegedly confessed to murdering him to a cellmate, the prosecution said in an Oregon courtroom last week.
Nancy Crampton-Brophy, 71, was arrested in September 2018, just three months after her chef husband of more than 20 years, Daniel Brophy, was found dead at the Oregon Culinary Institute, where he taught, with a gunshot wound in his back and one in his chest.
The Oregon courtroom heard last week during Ms Crampton-Brophy’s trial, which began last month, that the 71-year-old’s cellmate had provided testimony to Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Shawn Overstreet in April, according to Oregon Live.
In his testimony, Mr Overstreet told the court, inmate Andrea Jacobs described how the woman accused of murdering her husband of 26 years had inadvertently disclosed the details of his untimely 2 June 2018 death.
“Ms Brophy held her arms apart, like a wingspan, and said, ‘I was this far away when the shooting happened,’” the prosecution said, describing Ms Jacob’s alleged conversation with the accused. “She then corrected herself,” Mr Overstreet added, noting that the cellmate said Ms Crampton-Brophy had told her the shooting occurred at a closer range than she’d gestured.
Oregon Live reported how Mr Overstreet found this witness – it remains unclear if the judge presiding over the murder trial will permit the witness to take the stand – after they reading a letter sent by Ms Jacobs to Ms Crampton-Brophy in March which led his team to seek her out for an interview.
Jacobs, who has since been transferred to a federal prison camp in Texas, told detectives during an April interview that Ms Crampton-Brophy appeared embarrassed after the incident in which she allegedly disclosed her involvement with her husband’s death.
“Ms Jacobs reported that it became very awkward,” the prosecution said, noting that the woman was also reticent about coming forward because she didn’t want to be perceived as a “snitch”.
Ms Crampton-Brophy, who has been in custody since September 2018, was incarcerated at a medium-security institution in northeast Portland where the alleged conversation with her cellmate took place.
Throughout the proceedings, defence attorneys for Ms Crampton-Brophy have painted the prosecution’s case as being solely based on circumstantial evidence and have highlighted their client’s marriage as one of love, an outright rejection of the prosecution’s case which contends that the romance novelist was motivated to kill her husband for monetary gain as she stood to collect $1.5m in insurance.
Circuit Court Judge Christopher Ramras has declined to rule on the matter just yet and has asked both teams of attorneys to submit a formal written argument by 11 May both for and against Ms Jacobs taking the stand.
In response to the inmate’s last-minute introduction during court proceedings last week, the defence team did not hold a favourable opinion.
“To respond to this would require a significant investigation,” defence attorney Kristen Winemiller argued before Judge Ramras, Oregon Live reported.
Ms Winemiller also emphasised that there would be “no way” for the trial to wrap up by 20 May if the prosecution was permitted to enter a rebuttal witness after the defence concludes.
The contentious 2011 essay, which has been an ongoing point of intrigue, both for online spectators and throughout the trial, contains a list of possible motives for murdering your spouse. The first in that list of five potential motives, “financial”, proving to be the most suspect to the prosecution in relation to Ms Crampton-Brophy’s.
“Divorce is expensive and do you really want to split your possessions? Or if you married for money, aren’t you entitled to all of it?” she wrote.
When introducing the same blog post on See Jane Publish, the essayist wrote: “As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder, and, consequently, about police procedure. After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend any time in jail.”
Shortly after her husband’s death, prosecutors say that Ms Crampton-Brophy asked detectives working on his case to release a letter that confirmed that she was not a suspect so that she could collect $40,000 from her insurance company.
Later, investigators revealed that the accused would be able to collect up to $350,000 worth of life insurance policies following the death of her husband.
Though prosecutors have sought to paint the financial health of the couple’s bank accounts as dire, referring to their struggle to make mortgage payments and a “pattern of overspending”, the defence has rebuked those claims by having forensic accountants take the stand and testify after taking an audit of their accounts that they were in fact relatively prosperous.
Ms Crampton-Brophy, who found success in penning romance novels like The Wrong Lover and The Wrong Husband, offset her publishing income by selling life insurance and Medicare policies on the side.
She has pleaded not guilty to all charges against her and is expected to take the stand in the next couple of weeks.

Discussions are advanced and a deal could be announced in the coming days, according to people familiar with the process, who asked not to be identified as the details aren’t public. Swedish Match has a market valuation of about $11.5 billion.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported details of the transaction.

BOSTON (AP) — Julie Chen, who has been on the faculty at the University of Massachusetts Lowell since 1997, was named the school's new chancellor on Monday.
Chen was approved unanimously by the UMass system's board of trustees on the recommendation of President Marty Meehen.
She takes over for Jacquie Moloney, who announced last year that she would retire as leader of the 18,000-student university at the end of the current academic year.
“With her vast experience in all the areas that will determine the success of the university in the years ahead, and with her deep commitment to empowering students and communities through education and innovation, Dr. Chen is the right person at this moment to lead UMass Lowell,” Meehan said in making his recommendation to the trustees.
Chen, who has three mechanical engineering degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was among three finalists.
She was appointed vice provost for research in 2009 and vice chancellor for research and innovation in 2016, where she oversees the university's nearly $95 million research enterprise.
“I am honored to be selected by President Meehan and the board of trustees as the university’s next chancellor, and I’m excited to work with our great faculty, staff, supporters and partners to provide growing numbers of students with this UMass Lowell advantage in the years ahead,” she said in a statement.
Derek Houle, UMass Lowell student trustee, said Chen has the support of students. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/UMass-Lowell-looks-to-internal-candidate-as-next-17159456.php | 2022-05-09T17:30:16Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/UMass-Lowell-looks-to-internal-candidate-as-next-17159456.php | false | 12 |

ARLINGTON, Va., May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynalytica Inc., a leading provider of innovative cybersecurity solutions for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), today announced that Richard Robinson, CEO & Founder, will be presenting at SIEMENS Realize LIVE Americas 2022, taking place on May 9-12 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Richard will be presenting "Why Level 0/1 serial communications monitoring is a first step to digital transformation" in room Breakers G, Tuesday May 10th 2022 at 10:00am – 10:45am PDT. The session will also be broadcasted for free for those attending virtually. He will be talking about industrial control systems (ICS) and how level 0/1 serial communications monitoring isn't just about network security, but also about utilizing the data as a "first step" to digital transformation. Whilst operational technology (OT) environments are increasingly adapting data-centric strategies, there is a lack of emphasis placed on capturing real-time data from legacy cyber-physical systems. It comes as no surprise that many organizations cannot derive accurate insights, solve problems, and make improvements to their operations as they are failing to collect reliable data from the outset.
"There has been an escalation in intelligence alerts indicating that APT actors have developed custom-made tools for targeting ICS/SCADA devices enabling them to scan for and compromise devices once they have established initial access to the operational technology (OT) network. We have repeatedly seen adversaries breach corporate networks and maintain capabilities undetected for extended periods of time", says Richard Robinson CEO at Cynalytica. "In response, US Government Agencies have released a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) recommending that ICS/SCADA operators leverage a continuous OT monitoring solution to alert on malicious indicators and behaviors, watching internal systems and communications for known hostile actions and lateral movement. We are broadening our talk to reflect the cyber-physical elements of digital transformation efforts."
Register for Siemens Realize LIVE Americas and attend Richard's session virtually for free if you cannot make it in person!
Cynalytica, Inc. develops sensor & software machine learning analytics platforms that provide fully passive, fail-safe monitoring and analysis of physical layer communications in Industrial Control Systems (ICS/SCADA). Giving control system operators the ability to securely provide visibility and unique situational awareness to high-risk, high-impact cyber-physical assets such as Energy Systems, Water/Wastewater Treatment Facilities, Manufacturing, Nuclear Power, Defense Systems and Building Facilities.

Exquisite Exterior
With a stellar classic racer wrap featuring the beloved 7-Eleven colors, this custom car is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes. Super green rims and a cherry red under glow mirror the iconic, neon 7-Eleven sign that glimmers after dark. Speaking of icons after dark, the convenience retailer is known for staying open late to meet its customers' late-night snacking needs. So, the night owl emblem embellished on the front grill is a not-so-subtle reminder of the best after-dark snack spot.

The driver of the Model 711 will sit like royalty on slick leather seats adorned with red, orange, and green sunset stripes. What's more, this car will be driven with the assistance of a Slurpee® drink gear shift as an ode to the convenience retailer's iconic frozen beverage. And because 7-Eleven knows its customers are the ultimate snackers, Model 711 comes with a custom pizza snack holder – which sits directly next to cup holders fit for a Big Gulp or Slurpee. But the best part isn't just what you can see – it's what you can smell. The aroma of fresh 7-Eleven coffee will fill Model 711's interior thanks to a custom-made OG To-Go Coffee Since 1964™ air freshener.

Morrison has been an educator for 18 years and has an educational doctorate from Maryville University. She has been a literacy coach, instructional coach, STEM instructor and classroom teacher.

Posey has been an educator for 20 years. She has an educational doctorate from Liberty University and has been an instructional technology coach, mathematics curriculum specialist and classroom teacher. Most recently, she was assistant principal at St. Clair Elementary in St. Francis County.
“We are excited for Dr. Posey to join our school community,” said Robinson Principal Angeline O’Neal-Hogrefe. “I look forward to her work to ensure our students’ success.”

PHILADELPHIA — A theme popularly thought to have vanished along with the Toronto Raptors stirred back to life Sunday as the Sixers prepared to host the Miami Heat in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series.
While hardly as open as it was when Toronto coach Nick Nurse had the floor, there was Doc Rivers gently suggesting that contact – and specifically how it would affect Joel Embiid – could matter as the tournament lengthens.
Already playing with a dangling right thumb that eventually will require surgery, Embiid apparently had his other hand bothered during the Sixers’ 20-point Game 3 victory. Not that it resulted in an injury-report mention or was expected to impact Embiid on the court, but Rivers let it out that excessive contact continues to be a postseason issue.
“I think his other hand was hit,” Rivers said of his MVP candidate, showing that it was hit seriously enough to rate a talking point. “I have the feeling there is going to be a lot of hitting in the playoffs by what I have seen.”
From time to time over the decades, there has been a hint of physical contact in basketball. That Rivers would mention that before another critical game did not seem coincidental. In the Sixers’ 116-108 triumph Sunday, the refs called 50 fouls – 26 on Miami – and sent Embiid to the foul line for 13 shots.
The overriding theme of the Sixers’ first-round series against the Raptors, instigated by Nurse, was that the outcomes of the games were linked in some way to how much contact Embiid was permitted to distribute or absorb. During the series, Embiid suffered a torn thumb ligament and, in Game 6, a concussion and a cracked right orbital bone.
That trauma caused Embiid to miss the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinal series, Miami taking a 2-0 lead. With concussion protocols preventing Embiid from doing any meaningful physical work during his recovery, the Sixers were concerned about how he would recover from the layoff.
Embiid, however, played 36:20 in Game 3, collecting 18 points and 11 rebounds. Two days later, Rivers reported, Embiid showed no signs of exhaustion, tabbing 24 points and 11 rebounds in 38 minutes.
“He feels good,” Rivers said. “He looks pretty good. I think he’s better.”
Emiid, however, still played with a face shield and the sore thumb, which will not be healed without surgery. The Sixers will put that off until the offseason.
“I think he’s really weathered the storm,” Rivers said. “So it’s all good.”
• • •
The Heat would play Sunday without backup center Dewayne Dedmon. The 6-11, eight-year pro was dealing with a head cold, though he tested negative for a coronavirus.
Dedmon played 12:20 in Game 3 and was at least another body Heat coach Eric Spoelstra could throw at Embiid.
The Miami coach sounded like he was expecting Dedmon back for Game 5 Tuesday night (7:30) in Miami, declaring him “day to day.” Until then, it would add to the defensive burden of Bam Adebayo to neutralize Embiid.
“Joel is an MVP caliber player,” Spoelstra said. “He puts pressure on a defense with the way he attacks, shoots and passes. And he draws fouls as well.”
As for Rivers, he would not adjust his rotation to provide Embiid with more favorable matchups.
“I don’t worry about who Joel plays against,” he said. “We want him on the floor as many minutes as he can be on the floor.”
• • •
In Game 3, Kyle Lowry returned from a hamstring injury that limited him to three games in the first round against Atlanta. The likely Hall of Fame guard sputtered, shooting 0-for-4 in 21 minutes.
Rivers, though, is still expecting the Philadelphia native to be a factor in the series.
“That’s not going to be him,” Rivers said. “Kyle will be better.”
Lowry missed the first two games of the series, but was in the starting lineup again Sunday. | https://www.delcotimes.com/2022/05/09/sixers-notebook-as-push-comes-to-shove-embiids-physical-give-and-take-at-issue/ | 2022-05-09T17:55:44Z | https://www.delcotimes.com/2022/05/09/sixers-notebook-as-push-comes-to-shove-embiids-physical-give-and-take-at-issue/ | false | 7 |
Erling Haaland has been allowed to take care of “personal matters” by Borussia Dortmund amid increased speculation the striker is poised to sign for Manchester City.
There have been fresh reports the Norway international is close to finalising a summer move to the Premier League champions with some even suggesting he has already undergone a medical.
Speculation gathered momentum on Monday when Dortmund revealed the much-coveted 21-year-old was dealing with unspecified issues on a day when the team were not training.
“The players have no training today and we allowed Erling to take care of personal matters,” Dortmund were quoted as telling German broadcaster SPORT1.
City did not comment on the reports when contacted by the PA news agency.
Haaland has been heavily linked with City for several months. It was reported recently personal terms for a five-year contract had already been agreed and the club were almost ready to trigger the player’s £63million release clause.
It has now been claimed he spent time in Brussels on Monday for his City medical.
If completed, the move would end City’s long search for an out-and-out centre-forward to replace record goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who left the Etihad Stadium last year.
City tried but failed in a high-profile attempt to prise England captain Harry Kane away from Tottenham last summer.
Haaland, whose father Alf-Inge played for City from 2000-03, has been prolific since joining Dortmund from RB Salzburg in January 2020, scoring 85 goals in 88 appearances for the German side. | https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/erling-haaland-sorting-personal-matters-amid-manchester-city-speculation-41631597.html | 2022-05-09T17:56:55Z | https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/erling-haaland-sorting-personal-matters-amid-manchester-city-speculation-41631597.html | true | 3 |
Which Cuisinart ice cream maker is best?
Homemade ice cream can be delicious, but you need an ice cream maker to make some. An ice cream maker lets you use the ingredients you want to craft your own ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt.
Cuisinart is a top manufacturer of kitchen appliances and offers several high-quality ice cream makers. If you’re looking for one that makes delicious frozen desserts, the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet And Ice Cream Maker is a worthy machine that works fast and has a stylish look.
What to know before you buy a Cuisinart ice cream maker?
Frozen bowl makers
A frozen bowl ice cream maker requires you to freeze a double-insulated bowl in the freezer before doing anything else. Once frozen, pre-mixed ingredients are poured into the bowl and placed into the ice cream maker. Once you’ve done that, all you need to do is turn it on, and the machine will churn the ingredients until you or the timer shuts it off.
Frozen bowl ice cream makers are easy to use, but the main disadvantages are that it’s challenging to make large quantities and that the frozen bowl has to be frozen or else you won’t be able to use it effectively.
Compressor makers
Compressor models are far more expensive and bulkier than frozen bowl ice cream makers, but many find them worth the money as they don’t have to freeze the bowl. Compressor ice cream makers have built-in freezers, so all you have to do is add the pre-mixed ingredients and let it work its magic.
Capacity
Smaller ice cream makers usually can make 1 quart of ice cream at a time, while medium-sized ones can produce up to 1.5 quarts. Machines that can make 2-4 quarts are usually larger, so they take up more space, are more expensive and take longer since there’s more ice cream to make.
What to look for in a quality Cuisinart ice cream maker
Churning time
The best Cuisinart ice cream makers are highly efficient, usually taking less than 20 minutes to make a full load. Less expensive frozen bowl models can take longer, usually around 20-30 minutes.
Timer and after-cool
Most Cuisinart ice cream makers have built-in timers to let you know when your ice cream is ready. For those that don’t, you’ll need to manually check on your ice cream every so often until it reaches your desired consistency.
Also, once your ice cream is ready, some ice cream makers shut off their primary function but have a feature that keeps your ice cream cool for up to 10 minutes more, so you don’t have to worry about it melting too fast.
Paddles
Ice cream makers come with paddles for churning to the appropriate consistency. However, ice cream and gelato require different paddles. Some ice cream makers only come with an ice cream paddle, but premium machines also come with one for gelato.
How much you can expect to spend on a Cuisinart ice cream maker
You can find a Cuisinart ice cream maker for as low as $70-$100. However, if you want a high-end compressor machine, be prepared to spend up to $300.
Cuisinart ice cream maker FAQ
Where can I find recipes for homemade ice cream?
A. Some ice cream makers also come with booklets and instructions featuring ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet and gelato recipes. Also, you can search online for additional recipes.
How do I get the best results from my frozen bowl ice cream maker?
A. Ensure the bowl is dry before placing it in the freezer and leave it for at least 24 hours.

WASHINGTON, DC – President Joe Biden last Wednesday stirred the pot with the Republican Party and conservatives by referring to former President Donald Trump’s “Make American Great Again” movement as the most “extreme” political group in the recent history of the United States.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history, in recent American history,” Biden said at the White House while delivering comments to reporters on the economy.
At the same event, Biden also addressed Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and his “11 Point Plan to Rescue America” campaign plan, which – among other things – proposes raising income taxes on low-income individuals, something that was rejected by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans.
Biden claimed that Scott’s plans – and those of the GOP in general – were “in sharp contrast” to his own personal economic philosophy, saying, “if they hadn’t put this in print, you’d think I was making it up.”

“Senator Rick Scott of Florida released what he calls the ultra-MAGA agenda. It’s a MAGA agenda all right,” Biden said. “Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda. It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are.”
Scott was quick to respond to the President’s comments, saying that “almost every sentence was a complete lie.”
Biden was also critical of the leak of a Supreme Court draft majority opinion that will undo a ruling made in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion rights case, the President opined could open the floodgates for potentially discriminatory legislation against marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community.
“What happens if you have states change the law saying that children who are LGBTQ can’t be in classrooms with other children?” Biden said. “Is that legit under the way the decision is written? What are the next things that are going to be attacked?”
However, Biden himself was against Roe v. Wade for a period of at least ten years, saying in 1974 that “I don’t like the Supreme Court decision on abortion. I think it went too far,” and even supporting a potential constitutional amendment in 1982 that, if passed, would have sent the issue of abortion back to states to decide, exactly the same as what this latest ruling would do if it become the official ruling of the court. | https://www.publishedreporter.com/2022/05/09/president-biden-this-maga-crowd-is-really-the-most-extreme-political-organization-thats-existed-in-american-history/ | 2022-05-09T17:57:44Z | https://www.publishedreporter.com/2022/05/09/president-biden-this-maga-crowd-is-really-the-most-extreme-political-organization-thats-existed-in-american-history/ | true | 1 |
