BOSTON (AP) — Mario Batali’s sexual misconduct trial opened Monday in a Boston court with his accuser recounting how she’d been “shocked, surprised and alarmed” as the celebrity chef aggressively kissed and groped her while taking selfies at a restaurant in 2017.
The 32-year-old Boston-area software company worker said she felt confused and powerless to do anything to stop Batali.
“It was all happening so quickly and it was happening essentially the whole time,” the woman testified in the trial, which resumes Tuesday in Boston Municipal Court. “Just a lot of touching.”
She said she felt embarrassed until she saw other women step forward to share similar encounters with Batali.
“This happened to me and this is my life,” the woman responded when prosecutors asked why she’d come forward. “I want to be able to take control of what happened, say my piece and have everyone be accountable for their actions.”
But Batali’s lawyer, Anthony Fuller, sought to discredit her, arguing that the assault never happened.
He said the accuser has a financial incentive to lie as she’s seeking more than $50,000 in damages from Batali in a separate civil lawsuit pending in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston.
“She’s not being truthful,” Fuller said. “This is being fabricated for money and for fun.”
During cross examination, he produced financial statements showing the woman ate at Eataly, the Italian marketplace Batali once had an ownership stake in, weeks after the encounter and continued to patronize the Boston bar where the alleged assault took place.
“You go to the restaurant of the guy who you claimed brutally assaulted you?” he said. “That doesn’t make sense.”
The woman said she didn’t recall going to Eataly and maintained she isn’t speaking out for financial gain. She also strongly pushed back at Fuller for questioning why none of the many photos taken with Batali that night showed the alleged assault.
The woman said the photos were all taken relatively close up and didn’t show how Batali, who she said was visibly drunk, was grabbing her private areas, touching her face and even sticking his tongue in her ear. She said he also invited her up to his hotel room afterward, which she declined.
“I have never been touched before like that,” the woman said. “Squeezing my vagina to pull me closer to him, as if that’s a normal way to grab someone.”
But Fuller argued the accuser isn’t a credible witness. He honed in on her recent admission of attempting to avoid jury service by claiming to be clairvoyant. She was also accused in that case of violating the judge’s orders to keep an open mind and not discuss the case with others. In court on Monday, however, she maintained that she can predict major events before they happen “to a certain extent.”
Monday’s trial opened after Batali — in a surprise move — waived his right to a jury trial and opted instead to have a judge decide his fate.
Batali, who pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery in 2019, could face up to 2 1/2 years in jail and be required to register as a sex offender if convicted.
Batali is among a number of high-profile men who have faced a public reckoning during the #MeToo social movement against sexual abuse and harassment in recent years.
The 61-year-old was once a Food Network fixture on shows like “Molto Mario” and “Iron Chef America.” But the ponytail-and-orange Croc-wearing personality’s high-flying career crumbled amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Four women accused him of inappropriate touching in 2017, after which he stepped down from day-to-day operations at his restaurant empire and left the since-discontinued ABC cooking show “The Chew.”
Batali has offered an apology, acknowledging the allegations “match up” with ways he has acted.
“I have made many mistakes,” he said in an email newsletter at the time. “My behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility.”
Last year, Batali, his business partner and their New York City restaurant company agreed to pay $600,000 to resolve a four-year investigation by the New York attorney general’s office into allegations that Batali and other staff sexually harassed employees.
In Boston, he opened the downtown Eataly location and Babbo Pizzeria e Enoteca in the city’s Seaport District. Batali has since been bought outof his stake in Eataly and the Babbo restaurant has closed. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/chef-mario-batali-on-trial-in-boston-sexual-misconduct-case/ | 2022-05-10T09:51:54Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/chef-mario-batali-on-trial-in-boston-sexual-misconduct-case/ | false | 73 |
Shanmugam Says Permanently Banning Trainee Lawyers Who Cheated In Bar Exams Is Too Harsh
The practice of law is a profession that demands honesty and integrity. So when 11 law graduates cheated in their Bar examinations, debate about the extent of their punishment arose.
Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam addressed the issue directly in Parliament, stating that the trainee lawyers should not face a permanent ban.
Although they should serve a significant penalty for their offence, permanently excluding them from the field is too harsh of a punishment.
Trainee lawyers who cheated should face ‘significant sanction’ instead of permanent ban
In Parliament on Monday (9 May), Mr Shanmugam responded to questions about the law graduates who cheated in their bar examinations in 2020.
He said the trainee lawyers should serve a significant sanction due to the dishonesty of their conduct. Punishing them thus sends out the message that these cases are dealt with severely.
However, Mr Shanmugam acknowledged the necessity of giving the graduates a second chance. He thus asked what the right penalty would be, considering their age and prospects:
These are young people. Does that mean that you forever prevent them from practising? I think most people will say that would sound very harsh.
He also stressed that he was taking care in answering these questions, as the admittance of trainee lawyers’ applications for the Bar is still before the court.
In Singapore, the High Court has the ability to rule on the admission applications after taking into account the views of the Attorney-General, the Singapore Institute of Legal Education (SILE) and the Law Society, The Straits Times (ST) reported.
Furthermore, the applicants must convince all stakeholders they are fit to practise law before they do so, even if they passed the Bar exam.
On the existence of similar cheating cases in prior or following years, Mr Shanmugam affirmed that SILE did not find any other instances.
There is a difference between whether it has happened and what they found. But they haven’t found anything else.
11 trainee lawyers cheated in bar exam
High Court Judge Choo Han Teck first revealed the cases of six law graduates cheating in their Bar examination on 18 Apr.
6 Law Grads Found Cheating In S’pore Bar Exam, Judge Delays Their Admission
The following day, the Attorney-General’s Chambers said the Attorney-General was considering another five applications who may have cheated in their exams.
Five of the first six aspiring lawyers cheated on their Part B papers by sharing answers on WhatsApp.
The applicants later retook their Bar examinations and passed the following year.
Answering questions on why safeguards to prevent such cases were not more strict, Mr Shanmugam said examiners perhaps expected the graduates to exercise more honesty.
He added that the accused applicants will not need close supervision going forward. However, there may be “some merit” to having them carry out community service.
Giving aspiring lawyers a second chance
The notable difficulty of the Bar examination may have caused these graduates to sit for their papers while practising little integrity.
However, the graduates are also just starting out in their profession of becoming a lawyer. Perhaps, they have already learned from their lessons and will refrain from repeating their behaviour in the future.

Among the incorrect spellings were Naomi, Noamy and Naomu, with Naomy laughing: "Oooo this is a new one!"
In one email she was referred to as Noamy three times, while in another she was called "anatomy".
"Hi guys, my name is Anatomy, not to be confused with Naomy," she joked.

Primer is an essential part of our makeup routine, but a step that many people skip.
A primer is applied underneath your makeup to help it go on to the skin smoothly, stay in place and ensure your complexion has an even-looking skin tone.
It should be your first port of call when applying your makeup, but like any other aspect, it can be tricky to get right.

While yes, it is just a matter of applying product to the face, the wrong type of primer can cause your makeup to look cakey, and actually accentuate the blemishes and fine lines you are trying to hide.
Just like foundation, there are various types of primer available on the market, from mattifying to colour correcting.
But if you are conscious of fine lines, wrinkles and signs of ageing, beauty pro Lola Desmond has some expert advice when it comes to primer - revealing that hydration is key.
She told RSVP Live: "I look after as many mothers of the brides as I do brides, and people are very conscious of their fine lines.
"The best thing to do is hydrate the skin underneath, so choosing a really hydrating primer, is the first step to success.
"If you don’t have a good base your foundation won’t form as well as you might like it, so I always use a really hydrating primer."
Choosing an equally hydrating foundation is the next step for smoother looking skin because, as Lola explained, any other type will highlight the blemishes you are trying to conceal.
She said: "I would also use a hydrating foundation. It’s all skin dependent, but I’m never going to put on a matte foundation or anything too heavy on the skin when I’m trying to counteract fine lines."
The celebrity makeup artist added that you should avoid a heavy powder for the same reason that it will accentuate fine lines. A minimal powder will create a 'barely there' look but it will have a big impact on your complexion.
Lola also offered her top tips for contouring, and this is where she recommends using matte products.
Contour is used to add dimension to the face by scuplting the features and enhancing your face shape and can create the appearance of chiseled cheekbones and a stronger jawline.
For women with mature skin, Lola believes less is more and the subtle use of a matte bronzer can make the world of difference to your look.
She said: "I pop bronzer on to the number 3 on my face, where the sun would naturally hit - so a tiny bit across my forehead, then I bring it under my cheekbone and underneath the jawline.
"By using a matte bronzer, you have more control and you can really soften it out whereas cream products can typically be a bit trickier to use."

For widows in Africa, COVID-19 stole husbands, homes, future
UMUIDA, Nigeria (AP) — As Anayo Mbah went into labor with her sixth child, her husband battled COVID-19 in another hospital across town. Jonas, a young motorcycle taxi driver, had been placed on oxygen after he started coughing up blood.
Jonas would never meet his daughter, Chinaza. Hours after the birth, Mbah’s sister-in-law called to say he was gone. Staff at the hospital in southeastern Nigeria soon asked Mbah and her newborn to leave. No one had come to pay her bill.
Mbah began the rites of widowhood at the home where she lived with her in-laws: Her head was shaved, and she was dressed in white clothing. But just weeks into the mourning period that traditionally lasts six months, her late husband’s relatives stopped providing food, then confronted her directly.
“They told me that it was better for me to find my own way,” Mbah, now 29, said. “They said even if I have to go and remarry, that I should do so. That the earlier I leave the house, the better for me and my children.”
She left on foot for her mother’s home with only a plastic bag of belongings for Chinaza and her other children.
“I decided that I might die if I continue to stay here with my children,” she said.
Across Africa, widowhood has long befallen great numbers of women — particularly in the continent’s least developed countries where medical facilities are scarce. Many widows are young, having married men decades older. And in some countries, men frequently have more than one wife, leaving several widows behind when they die.
Now, the coronavirus pandemic has created an even larger population of widows on the continent, with African men far more likely to die of the virus than women, and it has exacerbated the issues they face. Women such as Mbah say the pandemic has taken more than their husbands: In their widowhood, it’s cost them their extended families, their homes and their futures.

Once widowed, women are often mistreated and disinherited. Laws prohibit many from acquiring land or give them only a fraction of their spouse’s wealth, and widows in places like southeastern Nigeria face suspicion over their husband’s death during the mourning period. In-laws can claim custody of children; tradition says kids belong to the father. Other in-laws disown the children and refuse to help, even if they’re the family’s only source of money and food. And young widows have no adult children to support them in communities with extreme poverty and few jobs for women with limited education.
In Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, some 70 percent of confirmed COVID-19 deaths have been men, according to data tracked by the Sex, Gender and COVID-19 Project. Similarly, more than 70 percent of deaths in Chad, Malawi, Somalia and Congo have been men, according to figures from the project, which is the world’s largest database tracking coronavirus differences between men and women. Other countries likely show similar trends but lack the resources to gather detailed figures.
Experts say some of the widows left behind have nothing while others are pressured to remarry brothers-in-law or be cut off. Widows can start experiencing mistreatment by their in-laws before their husbands are even buried.
“Some are treated as outcasts, accused of being responsible for the death of their husband,” said Egodi Blessing Igwe, spokeswoman for WomenAid Collective, which has aided thousands of widows with free legal services and family mediation.
Some experts say widows face the harshest reality in Nigeria. There, Mbah now raises her children without financial support from her in-laws, who even kept the motorcycle her husband drove as a taxi. She works four jobs, including one as a cleaner at a school where she can no longer afford to send her children.
Her husband had no will, and she hasn’t pursued a legal case against her in-laws. She fears it would only make her situation worse, and finding the time would be nearly impossible.
For some widows who purse legal action, a will saves the day, said Igwe, with the women’s rights organization.
“The will can really help if men can have the courage to prepare it and continue to update it,” she said. “Unfortunately in this part of the world, we don’t like to talk about death.”
Even in widowhood, women are often still under the oversight of men — adult sons or brothers — and may not be able to pursue a case if the family believes it will bring stigma or shame.
In Congo, Vanessa Emedy Kamana had known her husband for a decade before he proposed marriage. She worked for the scholar as a personal assistant. By the time their friendship turned romantic, Godefroid Kamana was in his late 60s; she, a single mother in her late 20s. She said she was drawn to his youthful spirit and intellect: He worked at a think tank and had two doctorates from European universities.
When he first tested positive for COVID-19, there was no hospital bed for him, despite his age and status as a diabetic, in the eastern city of Goma, a humanitarian hub with a large U.N. peacekeeping mission presence. Once a spot was secured, his wife spent most of his final days searching for oxygen and pleading with vendors.
The night of his burial, relatives came to the family home where Kamana had just begun her period of mourning. Generally, widows are required to stay in their homes and can receive visitors. Mourning lengths vary by religion and ethnic group. Kamana, whose family is Muslim, was supposed to stay home for four months and 10 days. But her husband’s relatives didn’t wait that long to force her and her young son out on the street.
“I was stripped of everything, of all my possessions,” she said.
She feared her husband’s family would seek custody of her son, Jamel, whom Kamana had adopted and given his surname. Ultimately the relatives did not, because the boy — now 6 — wasn’t his biological child. They did, however, move swiftly to amass the financial assets.
“I was not aware because I was at the house crying for my husband,” she said. “But they came and said: ’These bank accounts belong to us.”
She, her son and their cat now live in a smaller home her mother kept as a rental property. Kamana sells secondhand clothing at a market while her son is at school. And while she initially received 40% of her late husband’s salary, those funds will soon stop entirely.
Kamana’s marriage was relatively new. He had paid the dowry to her family in 2020, but they had no public ceremony because of COVID-19 restrictions. What mattered most, she said, was that he had accepted her son as his own. Now, the family has taken a bank account set up for the boy.
And it’s painful, Kamana said, when some of her late husband’s relatives insist they’ve lost more than she did.
“No one will be able to replace him,” she said.
In West Africa, widowhood is particularly fraught in the large swaths where many marriages are polygamous. Each wife performs the rituals of grief, but it is the first wife or her children who usually lay claim to the family home and other financial assets.
Saliou Diallo, 35, said she would have been left with nothing after a decade of marriage had her husband not thought to put her home under her name instead of his. Even after his death, she lives in fear that her husband’s older children or relatives will try to take over her small residence on the outskirts of the Guinean capital, Conakry.
Under Guinean law, a man’s multiple wives share a small percentage of his estate, with nearly all of it — 87.5 percent — going to his children, said Yansane Fatou Balde, a women’s rights advocate. Women rarely contest their inheritance, given the stigma and expense.
Diallo’s husband, El Hadj, 74, had been building the home just for her and their 4-year-old daughter when he fell ill with COVID-19. Diallo was infected, too — and terrified. She already knew the burden of losing a spouse: At 13, she became a second wife, only to be widowed in her early 20s.
Her next attempt at marriage unraveled when the man did not take to her three children. Then she was introduced to El Hadj, who already had married multiple women but was willing to raise Diallo’s three kids as his own.
They spent a decade together before the virus hit El Hadj. In his final conversations with his wife, he lamented that her home didn’t have windows yet. That he hadn’t lived long enough to build a well so she wouldn’t have to carry water on her head each day. That other relatives would try to chase her off once he was gone.
During mourning, the first wife refused to provide financially for Diallo — who couldn’t attend the funeral because she tested positive for the virus. Then the first wife’s children came to Diallo’s house and reclaimed the car he’d given her. They took all his documents and checkbooks.
“They wanted to chase me away, too,” Diallo said. “I told them: ‘Let me finish my mourning and see my husband’s grave.’”
The children asked for the papers of the house El Hadj had built for her. She provided photocopies but secretly kept the originals.
Her extended family ultimately helped raise money to put windows on her house. Still, she feels her husband’s absence. There is electricity, but no light fixtures. The walls are finished but not painted, and only a few plastic lawn chairs and a mini-fridge furnish the home.
“I am sure God is saving a surprise for me. I surrender to him,” she said. “In the meantime I live on the help of my parents. They support me, and I keep my faith.”
In Diallo’s case, the law has protected her home. But where laws fail to protect widows, the resolution of disinheritance disputes often comes down to family mediation alone.
Back in Nigeria, Roseline Ujah, 49, spent three decades as part of her husband’s extended family. She shared chores and meals with them, even helping to care for her mother- and father-in-law in their later years.
But she said her husband’s brother began scheming to disinherit her and her seven children before her husband, Godwin, had even been buried. Her sister-in-law intervened and managed to save a small portion of land where Ujah now cultivates cocoyam, a root vegetable.
When her husband — who harvested palm wine — first became ill, everyone assumed it was malaria. But medications failed, and his breathing became labored. Hospital doctors diagnosed him with COVID-19, even though no tests were available for confirmation. Without money for a hospital stay, Ujah turned to traditional medicine.
“I kept begging God not to let him die,” she said. “He kept getting weaker and weaker, and we were looking for solutions for him.” He died in their home and was buried in his front yard.
Only her sister-in-law brought food to the family during their six months of mourning. Ujah was forbidden to leave home. Without support from her extended family, she had to send her children to work on neighbors’ farms for income. Some days they ate nothing at all.
“It was only from the door that I could call the attention of passersby to help me get something at the market,” she said.
Godwin’s youngest two children — 13-year-old Chidimma and 11-year-old Chimuanya — have been especially affected by his death, as their relationship with their father’s family has soured.
Ujah is left to scramble for her family’s survival, making brooms to sell at the local market. She knows her husband would have confronted his family over their mistreatment of her. Without him, she turns to her faith.
“I look up to God, telling him I have no one else,” she said. “He is my husband and the father of my children and of the family, and I will not marry another man.”

The Queen’s Speech will contain new measures to “dynamise” the UK to ensure people can pay the bills, a Government minister has said.
But while policing minister Kit Malthouse acknowledged Government “alarm” at predictions of soaring inflation, he downplayed hopes of rapid help being announced on Tuesday.
The Prince of Wales will read the Queen’s Speech for the first time as the monarch misses the State Opening of Parliament for the first time in almost 60 years.
The Queen, 96, pulled out of the ceremonial occasion – when she reads out the Government’s legislative programme for the forthcoming parliamentary session – as she continued to experience “episodic mobility problems”.
In the Queen’s absence, Charles will take on the head of state’s major constitutional duty, in a move which will be interpreted as a significant shift in his responsibilities as a king-in-waiting.
The Duke of Cambridge, also a future monarch, will attend the State Opening, the first time he has done so, with the royal function of opening a new parliament delegated to both Charles and William by the Queen.
At the same time, the event is an important moment in the political calendar as Boris Johnson seeks to regain the initiative after the rows over lockdown parties and the heavy losses suffered by the Tories in the local elections.
Mr Malthouse declined to give much detail but insisted there will be “quite a lot of nice things coming in this box of chocolates” when asked about the contents of the Queen’s Speech.
Asked if there might be a cut in VAT or cuts in income tax, he told LBC: “That’s for a budget, that wouldn’t be for a Queen’s Speech, but I think what you will see today is us taking advantage, for example, of Brexit freedoms to strengthen our economy and make it more dynamic, as well as doing a variety of other issues.
“I don’t want to get reprimanded by the Speaker by telling you but I think you’ll find there’s quite a lot of nice things coming in this box of chocolates.”
He said there will be “assertive new measures”, telling GB News they would “dynamise our economy, drive it forward, so that in the medium term we can pay our bills both at home and as a nation”.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said the Speech will be about looking at opportunities to “remove some of the regulation which is holding us back, really grow our economy strongly into a high skill, high wage economy”.
But he said while it is an “incredibly challenging” time for people, legislation can take “many months, sometimes over a year, before it hits the statute book”.
He told Sky News: “We look with alarm at the predictions the Bank of England have made just in the last week or so of inflation peaking towards the end of the year, and we will have to think carefully about what our response to that might be.”
The speech will include a new crackdown on “guerrilla protests” with jail sentences of up to six months and unlimited fines for those who glue themselves to roads or “lock on” to public transport infrastructure.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said the measures were necessary to prevent protest groups like Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion from bringing the country to “a grinding halt”.
Mr Malthouse said new serious disruption prevention orders are aimed at deterring people from “hooligan” protesting.
Ministers had originally tried to introduce measures through the now-passed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, but were blocked by the House of Lords.
In a sign of the Government’s determination to drive them through now, officials said the legislation could be introduced in Parliament as early as Wednesday.
In all, the speech will include 38 Bills, including seven measures scrapping EU regulation – covering areas from data reform to gene-editing to financial services – as ministers seek to capitalise on the benefits of Brexit.
Mr Johnson said it was part of a wider programme to get the country “back on track” after the pandemic while addressing the cost-of-living challenges.
In a tweet ahead of the Speech, the Prime Minister said the Government is “focused like a laser” on the issues that matter most to the public.
He wrote: “In these challenging times, this Government will provide the leadership needed to deliver for you. Your priorities are our priorities and we are focused like a laser on the issues that matter to you most.”
John Allan, chairman of Tesco, said there is an “overwhelming case” for a windfall tax on energy companies after seeing the supermarket’s customers “extremely stretched”.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think that would be the single biggest thing that could be done.”
Underlining the sense of change on Tuesday, the Queen’s throne in the House of Lords will remain empty for the speech with Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, who will accompany him, taking their usual places.
The only previous occasions during her reign when the Queen missed the State Opening were in 1959 and 1963 when she was pregnant, first with Prince Andrew and then Prince Edward. On each occasion the speech was read by the Lord Chancellor.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement said that Queen had “reluctantly” decided not attend this year following advice from the royal doctors.
Other measures in this year’s speech are expected to include a British Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act, which enshrines the European Convention on Human Rights in UK law.
A Schools Bill for England will crack down on truancy, beef up the powers of education watchdogs and reform the funding system, while a Media Bill will enable the privatisation of Channel 4.
A Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill is expected to give local leaders powers to rejuvenate high streets, by forcing landlords to rent out empty shop units.
A draft Mental Health Bill will overhaul existing powers to protect patient liberty and prevent those with learning difficulties from being detained without their consent. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/05/10/new-measures-to-dynamise-the-economy-in-queens-speech-says-government/ | 2022-05-10T10:02:14Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2022/05/10/new-measures-to-dynamise-the-economy-in-queens-speech-says-government/ | true | 8 |

In the trenches with Furyk & Friends volunteers: What motivates them to give their time, energy?
Golf, food, music and community: Constellation Furyk & Friends offers something for everyone
Tickets to Club 58, the entertainment venue named for Furyk's record-breaking score on the PGA Tour, are $350 daily and $1,050 for the week, with complimentary food and beverages at a suite overlooking the par-3 17th green.
"There was a lot of buzz, a lot of energy last year on the weekend, especially in the three areas we have for fans [Club 58, the Circle K Par-Tee Porch and the Tailgate Village]," said Jim Furyk, a 17-time PGA Tour winner who has since added three on the PGA Tour Champions. "They were extremely crowded and it was fun to see the fans having such a good time."
Speaking of hits, the week will begin with the Furyk Foundation Concert on Oct. 4 at Daily's Place, headlined by Grammy Award-winning group Lady A, which has 10 chart-topping singles and is a three-time CMA vocal group of the year.
The night is a salute to the military and 1,000 complimentary tickets will be available for active-duty military members beginning on Aug. 29 at NAS Jacksonville or Naval Station Mayport Morale, Welfare and Recreation offices. Tickets will go on sale at a future date at ticketmaster.com.
"We're super-excited about the concert," said Tabitha Furyk, who co-hosts the tournament with her husband. "And like the golf tournament, every concert ticket purchased helps charity."
And the charitable ventures of the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation were huge winners for the first tournament.
In addition to the unveiling of Lady A as the musical act, the foundation announced on Tuesday that last year's tournament raised more than $1.17 million in charity last year, with Constellation making the first installment of $500,000 it will donate each year for the balance of the six-year title sponsorship deal.
Tabitha Furyk said the additional $617,000 helped exceed their initial ambitious target.
"Our goal was to raise $1 million in the first year," she said. "Normally for a first-year tournament it's a challenge to break even and we knew it was a very high goal to set. We're pretty proud of what we were able to do."
The tournament's proceeds were earmarked to help five core charities, the St. Johns Riverkeeper, Habitat for Humanity, The First Tee, the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation and Blessings in a Backpack. Other charities that received funds included Wolfson Children’s Hospital, Operation Shower, Jacksonville Humane Society and Hope for the Holidays.
The charitable output was especially impressive since the first day of the tournament had a thunderstorm delay late in the morning and fans had to be evacuated. The first round was completed without fans but the weather on Saturday and Sunday was perfect.
"I think Friday got folks chomping at the bit for Saturday," Furyk said. "We sold more than 11,000 tickets that day when they told us 7,000 would have been a good number."
The field is expected to include Furyk and World Golf Hall of Fame members such as Davis Love III, Ernie Els, Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal, Bernhard Langer, Mark O'Meara, Fred Couples and Vijay Singh.
Also expected are Jacksonville native David Duval, the 1999 Players champion and 2001 British Open champion who grew up playing the tree-lined fairways of the historic Donald Ross venue. Other newcomers to the PGA Tour Champions this year are two more major champions, Justin Leonard and Y.E. Yang, former Florida Gator Brian Gay and Notah Begay.
Furyk said he has not been in contact with Mickelson, who has been idleplayed on the PGA Tour of PGA Tour Champions since late January. Mickelson has been linked to Greg Norman’s Saudi Golf League and after making controversial remarks about the Saudi government and the PGA Tour in February, he apologized and said he was taking an undetermined amount of time off.
Mickelson has since missed events such as The Players and the Masters. He is due to defend his PGA Championship title next week at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla.
"Obviously we are very hopeful to have him here," Furyk said. "Phil was a. great champion. The Golf Channel ratings were through the roof for the weekend. He pushes the needle and is still a big draw."
Transportation options: Fans can opt to arrive at PGA Tour Champions Furyk & Friends tournament by land or water
The purse will be $2 million and portions of all three rounds will be aired on Golf Channel. The players will be on a classic course that will have been given a refurbishment and should be in near-pristine condition when the first shots are struck.
"I've been out there a few times and the course is looking great," Furyk said.
“Constellation is committed to being a catalyst for positive change in the community, and we’re proud of the tangible impact Constellation Furyk & Friends delivered in the event’s first year,” said Jim McHugh, chief commercial officer, Constellation. “We’re excited to build on that momentum in 2022 and continue to support organizations working to provide critical resources and enriching experiences to children and families in underserved areas.”
The Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation was created in 2010 with the primary goal of helping children and families in need. | https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/golf/2022/05/10/constellation-furyk-friends-feature-all-star-field-lady-prelude/9668014002/ | 2022-05-10T10:06:41Z | https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/golf/2022/05/10/constellation-furyk-friends-feature-all-star-field-lady-prelude/9668014002/ | true | 1 |
An unlikely captain? No Tiger and no Phil for first time in 26 years? No problem, as Ryder Cup book explains
Shane Ryan's new book on the Ryder Cup explains how the U.S. finally met expectations in the biennial grudge match with Europe
One of the most highly-anticipated golf books of the spring is Alan Shipnuck’s tell-almost-all, unauthorized biography on Phil Mickelson, which will hit bookstores on May 17.
But one week before that, another important, plus entertaining and informative book, will go on sale with the author and publisher's hopes of riding the wave of good feelings that still permeate American golf from last fall’s record Ryder Cup victory at Whistling Straits.
“The Cup They Couldn’t Lose,” by Shane Ryan (Hachette Book Group) chronicles the three-year road to the U.S. victory over Europe under captain Steve Stricker after the 2018 loss in Paris that was the 12th in 17 Ryder Cups since 1985 and the seventh in nine playings of the biennial match-play event that has become perhaps the most intense international sports rivalries in the world.
Back-to-back Mack: Willie Mack III captures second APGA Tour Billy Horschel Invitational
Davis Love III turns to experience, names Fred Couples, Zach Johnson assistants
Ryan said it was intentional for the word “Couldn’t” to have two meanings. The U.S. team was so strong on paper, even without both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson for the first time since 1995, that losing was unthinkable.
But the Americans have been there before. Time and again they marched into the Ryder Cup with more top-10 players on the world rankings, more players coming off major championships and confident captains.
The European teams would then dismantle the Americans, dominating in doubles competitions and out-maneuvering whoever the losing captain was in Sunday’s singles, always seeming to move the chess pieces like a Grand Master facing a novice.
“They couldn't lose it because it would have been a nightmare,” Ryan said of the 2021 team, which had 10 of the 12 players among the top-13 in the world (and eight among the top-10), while the Europeans had one top-10 player in Jon Rahm and only two more top-15 players. “Losing at home, with that team … that’s was the real meaning of the words ‘couldn’t lose.’”
Stricker broke the mold
Ryan interspaces chapters on the buildup to the 2021 Ryder Cup (and the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, which set the match back one year but may have given the U.S. more time to solidify its preparations) and a look back at past Ryder Cup failures – and the scattered successes, such as 1999 at The Country Club and 2008 at Valhalla.
He doesn’t hold back in critiquing two of my way or the highway captaincies of Hal Sutton in 2004 and Tom Watson in 2014 and makes the case that the PGA of America needed to get past the once-rigid requirement that a U.S. captain had to have won a major — which seemed to bother the Europeans when they picked men such as Bernard Gallacher, Sam Torrance, Paul McGinley or Thomas Bjorn, who all captained winning teams.
Stricker was the first American captain who never won a major and had been criticized for fading down the stretch when he had chances.
He also had a losing Ryder Cup record.
So why did Stricker work?
Ryan said Stricker learned from both successes and failures as vice-captain for Presidents Cups and Ryder Cups.
“For the first time, we saw what happens when you take the skill and talent of the U.S., which has always been there and apply a leader as good or better than the European captains,” Ryan said. “Stricker built on the lessons of Davis Love III (who went 1-1 in Ryder Cups). He also learned from Jim Furyk's loss. It was institutional memory. It doesn’t matter if you've won a major. Are you good with people? Can you relate? Do they respect you? Are you thorough in your planning? Steve was all of that.”
A deep love of the Ryder Cup
Ryan’s first book “Slaying The Tiger,” was about a year on the PGA Tour in 2014, examining the numerous young players who seemed set to take the baton from Woods as the backbone of the next generation.
The book reached the New York Times best-seller list and was notable for Ryan’s digging that turned up the revelations of Patrick Reed’s troubles at the University of Georgia and his murky family history.
Ryan, who has had articles published in Golf Digest, Esquire, Salon, Deadspin and Grantland, said the Ryder Cup has always been his favorite athletic event. The 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah, when Europe staged a historic comeback in singles, was the first golf tournament he had ever covered.
“I begged Grantland to be sent there,” he said of his employer at the time. “The hard part was getting them to say ‘yes.’ It solidified the love I have for the event.”
Ryan said his favorite chapter of “Slaying The Tiger” was the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. That also convinced him to write about a Ryder Cup and he gave serious consideration to doing it at the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine.
Then he found out John Feinstein, the best-selling author of numerous golf books, as well as other sports, was going to write about the 2016 Cup.
“Bad idea to go head-to-head with John,” he said. “Not a smart idea. But doing a Ryder Cup book was always on my radar.”
Ryan set his sights on Whistling Straits. When the pandemic forced the Ryder Cup to 2021, he took the time to start a Ryder Cup podcast.
“I gave myself more time to be educated about the Ryder Cup,” he said. “And I love boring people to death by talking.”
Captain rotation in question
Ryan said recent events involving the LVI Golf League finance by the Saudi Arabian kingdom will make future captain rotations interesting, to say the least. The only sure thing is that Zach Johnson will face Henrik Stenson in 2023 in Italy.
Since Mark O’Meara has been passed over by the PGA of America for merely wanting players to get paid for playing, what will Phil Mickelson’s rebellion against the PGA Tour mean – and what about potential European captains such as Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, if they play LIV Golf?
“I don’t think Phil’s going to be a captain,” Ryan said. “That’s not to say things can’t change and he was a guy who was a lock for Bethpage [in 2025]. That’s not to say things can’t change.”
Ryan thinks Woods is not the obvious choice for Bethpage. With Stricker breaking the barrier about requiring captains to have won a major, he believes Matt Kuchar may be in line for a future captaincy, along with candidates such as David Toms, Justin Leonard and Stewart Cink.
Ryan wonders if Westwood and Poulter are sacrificing an event they profess to love for money, if the DP World Tour punishes them in any way if they play for LIV Golf.
“It’s hard to imagine, since they love it so much,” he said. “They haven’t won a major so the highlight of their careers has been the Ryder Cup success they’ve had.
Ryan said whoever the U.S. captain will be is assured of a strong talent base for years to come. Eight of the 12 players in the 2021 U.S. team were under 30 years old and Tony Finau, Brooke Koepka and English were 32 or younger.
“They guys [on the 2021 team] set an incredibly high bar,” Ryan said. “And you can’t go back on that.” | https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/golf/2022/05/10/shane-ryans-new-book-2021-ryder-cup-goes-depth-u-s-rout/9654570002/ | 2022-05-10T10:06:47Z | https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/golf/2022/05/10/shane-ryans-new-book-2021-ryder-cup-goes-depth-u-s-rout/9654570002/ | true | 1 |

Manchester United: It’s not nice – Schmeichel makes demand from Ten Hag, Richard Arnold
Manchester United legend, Peter Schmeichel has made demands from the club’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard Arnold and incoming manager, Ralf Rangnick.
Schmeichel said he wants to see changes at Man United under Ten Hag and Arnold, adding that the current squad under Ralf Rangnick is not nice to watch.
“It’s not nice to watch. It really is difficult to understand and put a finger on exactly what is wrong. We have been struggling since Sir Alex (Ferguson) left the club, actually since David Gill and Sir Alex at the same time, we have been spending a lot of money, and we have got somewhere, but we have not gone far enough,” Schmeichel said on Sky Sports.
He added, “With Erik ten Hag coming in now, Richard Arnold taking over as CEO, it is an opportunity for change, and I think this is what we want. We want change; we want to modernise the club a bit, restructure the club.”
“That is what I’m looking forward to, I am looking ahead rather than looking at what is happening now. I have no explanation as to how it’s gone, the way it’s gone in the last four or five weeks. I find it difficult to understand what happens in the games. I look at the names and all of the players are capable and good enough, but it’s not happening for us in the games. I have absolutely no idea why.” | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/10/manchester-united-its-not-nice-schmeichel-makes-demand-from-ten-hag-richard-arnold/ | 2022-05-10T10:10:10Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/10/manchester-united-its-not-nice-schmeichel-makes-demand-from-ten-hag-richard-arnold/ | false | 1 |

Three Liverpool players blocked from playing in EPL, UCL final
Three Liverpool players have been blocked from playing in the Premier League remaining games this season and also in the UEFA Champions League final.
According to LiverpoolWorld, the three players are Neco Williams, Nat Phillips and Sepp van den Berg.
This is because Williams, Phillips, and Van den Berg’s respective loans at Fulham, Bournemouth and Preston North End have now come to an end.
Liverpool cannot call on any of their returning loan players to play in the EPL, UCL or in their FA Cup final against Chelsea this weekend.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will face Aston Villa in a Premier League tie tonight at Villa Park.
The Reds are currently three points behind Manchester City, with three games remaining this season.
They will then turn their attention to the FA Cup final on Saturday against Chelsea at Wembley.
Liverpool then will bring the curtain down on their memorable campaign when they meet Real Madrid in the Champions League final on 28 May in Paris. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/10/three-liverpool-players-blocked-from-playing-in-epl-ucl-final/ | 2022-05-10T10:10:29Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/10/three-liverpool-players-blocked-from-playing-in-epl-ucl-final/ | false | 1 |
German football in match-fixing scandal after two teams play out 1-1 draw then PARTY together
GERMAN football has been rocked by a new match-rigging row - with two teams playing out a draw that suited them both.
German fourth-tier clubs FSV Frankfurt and SV Elversberg revived memories of West Germany's collusion with Austria at the 1982 World Cup by playing out the last 12 minutes of their game to a 1-1 draw.
The West Germans infamously collaborated with the Austrians on a 1-0 win in Spain that sent both teams through to the World Cup second round at Algeria's expense.
The game, dubbed the Disgrace of Gijon, led to FIFA making all future final games in each group kick off at the same time.
On this occasion forty years later, a draw was enough for both sides.
And so Elversberg players passed the ball among themselves in their own half, to applause from both sets of fans.
The result left the visitors effectively promoted and Frankfurt virtually safe from relegation with one match left to play.
Promotion rivals Ulm and drop-bound Grossaspach were left furious.
But Frankfurt boss Tim Gorner insisted: "A draw suited us just fine. In that case why should we go on the attack?"
And Elversberg coach Horst Steffen added: "It became clear that we'd be as good as promoted with a draw. It was perfectly legitimate."

To rub further salt into their rivals' wounds, the two sides partied together afterwards - with Frankfurt officials fetching six extra crates of lager after the booze ran out.
But, in the words of top-selling daily Bild, "they celebrated a black day for football." | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/8768760/german-football-match-fixing-scandal-party/ | 2022-05-10T10:11:04Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/8768760/german-football-match-fixing-scandal-party/ | true | 3 |

Scottish Gas owner Centrica has said it is to invest over £50m in supporting customers with 500 additional UK based customer service roles, and a support fund which provides grants of up to £750 to help customers pay their energy bills.
It comes as it expects to post annual earnings at the top of its targets amid intensifying calls for a windfall tax on energy firms.
The company said it has been boosted by "strong" volumes across its nuclear and gas production operations.
Meanwhile, its trading business has also increased volumes of gas and renewable energy to improve UK supply amid pressure from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Centrica also told shareholders that it has "managed increased commodity price volatility well" in recent months.
Energy bills for UK households surged this month, after the price cap was increased by 54% to £1,971 per year by regulator Ofgem due to soaring wholesale prices.
Prices had been driven higher by broad inflationary pressures but have continued to escalate due to the conflict in Ukraine.
It is predicted that the price cap could jump again to as much as £2,900 in October.
Nevertheless, Chancellor Rishi Sunak held firm in his opposition to a windfall tax on Monday, arguing that it would "deter investment at a time we need it most - not least in renewable energy".
Centrica said on Tuesday that its British Gas Services & Solutions business has been hit by "some supply chain disruption and higher inflation" which has affected its costs and customer demand.
"We expect those headwinds to continue to at least partially offset underlying operational progress for the duration of this period of higher inflation," it added.
The company also warned that there are still "significant uncertainties" regarding its performance over the year, including the impact of weather, commodity price movements and the potential for higher bad debts.
It comes after the group saw adjusted profits jump 44% to £118 million in 2021.

Floating windfarm plan
North Sea oil firms could slash the emissions associated with offshore production by around 80 per cent using power generated by floating windfarms while achieving significant cost savings, a study has found.
The findings of the research led by Orcadian Energy underline the potential to use renewable energy to increase the sustainability of North Sea operations amid expectations oil and gas will remain part of the energy mix in the UK for years.

TOKYO (AP) — Nintendo’s profit for the fiscal year ended in March was little changed from the previous year, edging down 0.6% to 477.7 billion yen ($3.7 billion), the Japanese video game maker behind the Super Mario and Pokemon franchises said Tuesday.
Sales for the fiscal year fell 3.6% to 1.7 trillion yen ($13 billion) as fewer Nintendo Switch machines were sold, and IP income from mobile content also declined, according to Kyoto-based Nintendo Co.
But players around the world of the Nintendo Switch, including game fans in South America as well as Asia, now totaled some 102 million people, up from 87 million people the previous fiscal year, Nintendo said.
Especially popular in Nintendo game software lately were “Pokemon Legends: Arceus” and a new Kirby game, according to Nintendo.
Game makers have reaped windfall profits from more people staying home during the coronavirus pandemic over the last two years. But sales of Nintendo Switch consoles had more momentum in the previous fiscal year, driven by its hit game, “Animal Crossing: New Horizons.”
Console sales are often driven by hit games, although the devices tend to sell better early on and then slowly decline in popularity.
Nintendo has said the dearth of computer chips as a result of COVID-19 restrictions has hindered output.
Nintendo faces tough competition not only from longtime rivals in video games such as Microsoft Corp. and Sony Corp. but also newcomers like Netflix and Google.

It’s said that, the breaking of a Man’s day is his morning.
Recall that Rivers Accord, in this season of Political preparation, has maintained that the political atmosphere of Rivers State as at the moment, is experiencing a great revival in thoughts and the will for total Deliverance and Liberation in anticipation of a Blessed Rivers State, and Rivers Accord is the only party God has prepared to carry out that mandate; a mandate geared at birthing joy to the Rivers society. Indeed, it is the breaking of a new day in Rivers State, and her morning has come.
In confirmation of the above, yesterday, Monday, 9th May, 2022, a youth group known as, Rivers Youths for Good Governance and Advocacy, paid an unscheduled visit to the leadership of the Party in the State, at the State’s party Secretariat.
According to the Youth group, though the visit is unscheduled, yet intentional because they actually needed to confirm if truly what they have been hearing about the party is true; if it’s true that the party is PEOPLE oriented, accommodating, listening and ready to consider Rivers PEOPLE first in all they do.
They also confessed that they came because as youths, they are worried about the affairs of the State, forcing them to rise up to the occasion and make certain things are done differently this time, that 2023 will come out with a better result that will enable a change worthy of a greater Rivers State that they will be proud of.
While speaking, the leader of the group, Comrade Tonwe Nelson, lamented how backward the State has become in all ramification of developmental walk and nosediving into a bottomless pit that may take our once revered Rivers State out of existence, if something different is not done!
According to him, “If it is said that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow and today, here in Rivers State, there is no glaring enabling environment created for the youths to be instilled with such leadership character traits and styles, then it becomes a worry and worthy of doubt, if truly the Youths can be the Leaders of tomorrow here in the State.
“And if they will ever be, then we are forced to ask the question, ‘What kind or/ calibre of leaders can become of Rivers Youths, a Leadership of Disaster or that of Crises?’ It is for this reason we have come to affiliate with you, the Rivers Accord, for we are tired, disappointed and can no more trust the other parties here in the State.
“We have tried them severally, and severally they have failed us; a family that cannot put its house in order definitely cannot do so with a State as big as a Rivers State that houses millions of Families, such that is with diverse tribes and tongues. So, we are here to join hands with the Accord family to do things differently, that we may in the process achieve the desired result that will eradicate the doubt,
“If the Youths can truly be the leaders of tomorrow, it has to be with such quality that our unborn generation will be proud of”, he said, adding that “we cannot afford to stay and continue to do nothing when we can actually stand up to do something that will birth a difference, as true advocates for democracy and better Rivers State, and by extension Nigeria.
“And one way to do something is to join your party, the Rivers Accord that we have come to know for its sincerity of a purposeful Rivers State, to bring the change that we expect to see.”
Still speaking, Comrade Nelson opined that true democracy is the involvement of the people in the affairs of Governance, and where that isn’t found, then such cannot be said to be true democracy.
“Our nomenclature is centered on ‘Good governance’ and we cannot affiliate ourselves with where what we stand for is absent, but will so do with where it’s found. Truth be told, we didn’t arrive here without findings, we but arrived here after a thorough research, and then we resolved, Rivers Accord is the vehicle with the perfect mission, and we have come to board her that we may together, arrive at our desired destination”, he declared.
Responding on behalf of the Party, the State Deputy Chairman of the party, Pastor Amabere Jamabo, thanked the Youths, first for their concern for a better Rivers State to be born. He further appreciated them for the sacrifice made in visiting them, even as he hailed them for finding the party worthy of such trust; ready to work with the party.
Pastor Jamabo, who expressed his elation at the decision of the Rivers Youths for Good Governance and Advocacy group to join hands with Rivers Accord, said: “To know that we still have yet, such sacred, well cultured think tanks and well focused youths here in Rivers State is a thing of pride and believe that the possibility of a Rivers State of our dream is possible indeed.
“You came unscheduled, yet as you can see, no protocols barred you from reaching us or having our attention. Here in Accord, the PEOPLE matters first, irrespective of class, religion, tribe, age, etc. Our slogan, “Oneness and Progress” is our determinant factor, it’s what we eat, sleep with and drink. It has become the lifestyle of the party. We are one, and we can only make Progress as One PEOPLE.
“So, welcome onboard as we thrive to takeover over the leadership of the State come 2023. It will interest you to know that in Rivers Accord we share ideas because we all own the vision of “Rivers of great possibilities” together.
“Therefore, go carve out your ideas that you think can add value to our march towards the taking over of the Rivers brick house and bring to us, let’s share it to make this dream a reality”, he charged.
Accord! Oneness and Progress!
Oneness and Progress! In One Accord!

Australian household spending slumps amid inflation

Canberra, May 10 The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) on Tuesday released data showing that residents are beginning to pull back on their spending amid rising inflation and interest rates.
The CommBank Household Spending Intentions (HSI) Index, which measures consumer sentiment based on card spending data and publicly available loan application and search trends, showed a drop of 3.8 per cent in April after reaching a record high in March, reports Xinhua news agency.
Austral were shown to be spending less on homes, health and fitness, and transport spending, but were spending more on travel entertainment and retail.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia senior economist, Belinda Allen, said despite the drop, the 2022 April index was still an improvement from April of 2021.
"With an interest rate hiking cycle now underway the Australian economy is in a strong position."
"We are seeing a post Covid normalisation of consumer spending patterns, with lower spending on categories that increased during lockdowns," said Allen.
In the last several weeks Australia's central bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), has been forced to lift interest rates for the first time in over a decade in response to headline inflation soaring past 5 per cent.
The CBA immediately lifted their interest rates for customers following the RBA's 0.25 percentage points increase on the cash rate last week.
Allen said the bank expects the cash rate to continue to be lifted through to February 2023, bringing the cash rate to 1.60 per cent.

Republicans believe they’ve found an edge in the culture wars.
And they’re already accusing President Biden of catering to college-educated elites as he considers forgiving student loan debt.
In primary races ahead of November’s midterm elections, Republican candidates are embracing contentious battles over gender, sexual orientation and race rather than sticking to tried-and-true attacks on inflation or Biden’s low approval ratings.
Many believe these issues will broaden their coalition by peeling away socially conservative working-class voters. Their focus comes as a rollback on abortion rights, one of the biggest culture-war issues, could become a crowning achievement for the right. A leaked Supreme Court draft opinion showed that after a half-century of activism, the high court appears poised to erase the nationwide right to abortion.
“Either party can end up in the wrong place on culture issues,” said Tony Fratto, a Republican political strategist and former deputy White House press secretary to President George W. Bush. “Where we are in this cycle is Democrats have stretched themselves further left and seem unreasonable to the center.”
Democrats argue that Republicans have already gone too far in the other direction, particularly in attacking LGBTQ rights, which have broad public support, and banning library books. Some conservatives acknowledge that abortion is now a complicated issue for the midterms, with leading Republicans last week downplaying the pending Supreme Court ruling.
But numerous GOP candidates in recent weeks have signaled that they will continue leaning hard into the culture wars this fall.
“We keep showing up at cultural war knife fights with neatly arranged 3-by-5 index cards,” thundered Mehmet Oz, a front-runner in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, during his closing remarks at a debate last week. “We have to get into these issues. The liberals are taking over our media, they control much of government, the corporate suites are dominated by the ‘woke’ ideology, and our universities as well.”
Some Democrats, meanwhile, are explicitly backing away from those battles.
“You want culture wars? I’m not your guy,” Rep. Tim Ryan said in a video released just before he won Ohio’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate — a video in which he also denounced the idea of defunding the police. “You want a fighter for Ohio? I’m all in.”
J.D. Vance, the Republican who will face Ryan in November, offered a heavy dose of culturally fueled grievance during his victory speech last week. Minutes after capturing the GOP nomination, he complained that the Democratic Party “bends the knee to major American corporations and their ‘woke’ values,” and he predicted that Ohioans feel alienated by the left.
In a brief interview while he was campaigning in West Chester Township, Ohio, Vance offered a critique of the identity politics he said Democratic politicians are embracing: The emphasis on race, gender and sexual orientation by the left are a distraction, dividing voters who should be united against powerful interests intent on preventing prosperity in the lower classes, Vance said.
“Very often what is framed as diversity, equity and inclusion is actually an excuse to make the American people poor,” Vance told The Washington Post. He noted that Democrats celebrate Janet L. Yellen as the first female treasury secretary, rather than debating whether her ideas have led to inflation.
Polling offers a bleak picture for Democrats on many culture-war mainstays. Seventy-one percent said they are “very” or “extremely” concerned about illegal immigration, according to a recent Fox News poll, while 73 percent said they are “very” or “extremely” concerned about “what’s taught in public schools,” according to the survey.
The notion of culture wars in American politics dates to Southern resistance to integration, said Sean Wilentz, a U.S. history professor at Princeton University, stretching to Richard M. Nixon’s strategy of catering to disaffected White voters in the South, he said.
“It’s very effective,” Wilentz said. “They’ve been working at it forever with lines playing on all kinds of social resentments, cultural resentments, class resentments, regional resentments. It’s the politics of mobilizing resentments.”
The Democratic embrace of identity politics has played into the Republicans’ hands, he argued. “Traditionally, the Democratic Party is the party of integration as well as inclusiveness, not of divided identities,” he said.
Some Democrats acknowledge that their party has not yet figured out how to best approach race and identity and the basket of culture-related issues.
“Democrats need to talk about that promise of America, the exceptional nature of America, the sense of opportunity and hope that America represents for millions,” said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), whose parents immigrated from India. “Then we have to say, look, there’s been huge challenges. One, we made 40 years of mistakes where we offshore jobs, we got rid of production.”
“I don’t think we should shy away from issues of race or issues of culture,” Khanna added. “I think what we ought to say is, what makes America exceptional is that we are a nation not founded on blood, not founded on creed. What makes America exceptional is we’re going to become the first multiracial, multiethnic democracy in the world.”
Republicans have not always had the upper hand on culture-war issues. In 2016, a North Carolina bill requiring people to use bathrooms that matched their biological sex at birth led to a huge backlash against Republicans.
Major companies including PayPal canceled plans to move or expand in the state. Then-Gov. Pat McCrory (R), who signed it into law, paid the ultimate political price for it, becoming the first North Carolina governor to lose a bid for reelection in a state that also voted to send Donald Trump to the White House. Exit polls showed that two-thirds of voters opposed the law.
Now, Republicans say the landscape has changed. “I definitely feel that momentum is on our side,” said Ralph Reed, the founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and a leading social conservative. “The left has engaged in an awful lot of policy overreach across the board and the cultural issues are no exception.”
Republicans appear more emboldened to take on major companies on culture issues after four years of Trump’s willingness to break with corporate America. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has confronted Disney over parental rights legislation it opposed and attacked Disney’s tax privileges.
Shortly after, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced legislation also aimed at what he called “woke corporations.”
“Our tax code should be pro-family and promote a culture of life,” Rubio said in a statement about the bill. His legislation would prohibit companies from claiming tax benefits when employees travel to obtain abortions or for expenses for gender-affirming care for their children.
Some conservatives think their culture-war messaging plays particularly well for a key demographic. “The lodestone in American politics right now … is the Hispanic vote,” Reed said.
One example is immigration, where Republicans have been gaining ground consistently. Fifty-seven percent of Hispanics supported keeping Title 42 immigration restrictions in place, an order that barred many migrants from crossing the southern border during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a recent Fox News poll. Biden has signaled that those restrictions would be lifted this month.
Democrats risk alienating this part of their coalition on other issues. Sixty percent of Hispanic voters support laws that ban the discussion of sexual orientation or gender policy in schools below the fourth grade, according to a recent Fox News poll. Democratic leaders oppose these measures.
Reed said he views the parental rights legislation as a “twofer” for Republicans, because it appeals to both minority voters and suburban mothers with school-age children, he argued.
With the fate of Roe v. Wade in the balance, the GOP has faced some difficulty crafting a message. For instance, as Louisiana Republicans push to make abortion a crime, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the main campaign arm for Republicans, has tried to back way from that policy, and in a messaging document, it explicitly told members to say: “Republicans DO NOT want to throw doctors and women in jail. Mothers should be held harmless under the law.”
Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony List, a leading opponent of abortion rights, acknowledged the muted response from GOP lawmakers but said Republican leaders have actually been more vocal than usual. Five or six years ago, Republican lawmakers “would not have taken [media] calls” about abortion rights because they would have wanted to completely avoid it, she said. “They would be so afraid to utter the ‘a-word.’”
Some Democrats say they’re not fighting hard enough on the issue. “Where the hell is my party? Where’s the Democratic Party?” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said last week during a stop at a Planned Parenthood office in Los Angeles.
Overall, Fratto described a dynamic that many Democratic lawmakers have noted privately: that ideological purity tests on issues such as trans rights in schools or other LGBTQ rights have not left room for argument.
“The problem with a lot of these issues is, if you don’t adhere to the views of the ideological poles, then you’re not pure enough, and so you’re going to be in disfavor,” Fratto said. “So there’s a sense that you need to go further to the point where you find yourself where the middle of America looks at you, frankly, like you’re weird.”
Fratto acknowledged that the gender debate in America is a “complex issue.” But, he said, “most people aren’t looking at it with a lot of complexity.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/10/gop-culture-wars-midterms-biden/ | 2022-05-10T10:29:27Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/10/gop-culture-wars-midterms-biden/ | true | 2 |
Egypt’s inflation rate continues to surge amid Ukraine war
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s annual inflation rate has continued to surge since the beginning of the year amid Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine that has shaken the global economy. The country’s statistics bureau announced on Tuesday that the inflation rate was up 2.8%, reaching around 14.9% in April, up from 12.1% in March. Prices have increased in many sectors — from fuel, electricity and food items to housing, medical services and entertainment. The hikes are driven by Russia’s war on Ukraine, which rattled world markets and caused oil prices to soar, threatening food supplies and livelihoods of people across the world. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/05/10/egypts-inflation-rate-continues-to-surge-amid-ukraine-war/ | 2022-05-10T10:32:52Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/05/10/egypts-inflation-rate-continues-to-surge-amid-ukraine-war/ | true | null |
Tesla, Inc.'s TSLA China sales plummeted in April, and the magnitude of underperformance would have disappointed even the most pessimistic of forecasts. Expectations were muted, going into the data release, given the extended shutdown of the Giga Shangai during the month to fall in line with the COVID-19 restrictions in place.
What Happened: Tesla's Giga Shanghai produced 10,757 vehicles in April and sold 1,512 vehicles domestically, Reuters reported, citing data from the China Passenger Car Association.
The company did not export any vehicles during the month, going against the norms of focusing on exports in the first half of the quarter.
In March, Tesla delivered 65,814 Giga-Shanghai-made cars, out of which 60 units were exported and the remaining 65,754 vehicles were sold in China. The strong numbers came despite a 2-day disruption in the middle of the month and another toward the end of the month.
The year-over-year comparison also shows a decline from the 40,019 units sold in April 2021, comprising domestic sales of 25,845 units and exports of 14,174 units.
Tesla's dismal showing in April is in contrast to the fairly strong performance of the industry. CPCA data showed that retail sales of new energy vehicles, a term used for denoting both battery EVs and plug-in hybrids, increased 78.4% year-over-year in China in April. EV sales climbed 63.3%.

Why It's Important: Tesla's production was disrupted for about three weeks in April due to the COVID-19 lockdowns that forced shuttering of its Giga Shanghai plant. EV makers also faced component shortages amid the intensification of geopolitical tensions.
But this did not deter Warren Buffett-backed BYD Company Limited BYDDF from reporting a strong April performance. The company produced and sold 57,593 and 57,403 EVs, respectively in April.
Other EV startups such as Nio, Inc. NIO, XPeng, Inc. XPEV and Li Auto, Inc. LI did see a pullback, but delivered 5,074, 9,002, and 4,167 units, respectively, for the month.
In premarket trading, Tuesday, Tesla stock was seen rising 3.24% to $812.62, according to Benzinga Pro data.

PwC is to shut its US and Mexico offices for 2 weeks a year to help employees recharge
PwC will shut is US and Mexico offices for two weeks a year to help consultants recharge.
- It's part of a $2.4 billion investment in benefits and wellbeing, PwC announced Friday.
- Under the plans consultants will also be able to work abroad for up to 20 days a year, from July.
PricewaterhouseCoopers will close its US and Mexico offices for two weeks a year to give consultants time to recharge, the company said Friday.
The consulting giant had already implemented a firmwide one-week shutdown in December but will now close for an additional week in July.
"Our people have told us that an important part of their wellbeing is having time to disconnect and recharge," Yolanda Seals-Coffield, deputy people leader at PwC US and Mexico, told Insider. "By far our people tell us that is the most valuable time they have away from work because we're all away together."
The two-week shutdown is in addition to workers' paid vacation, which averages between three to four weeks a year, Seals-Coffield said.
Consulting and accountancy firms — known for their demanding work culture — are scrambling to rethink the pay, benefits, and experience they offer their employees amid a wider talent war with investment banks and other industries.
PwC's move is part of a $2.4 billion investment over the next three years aimed at improving benefits for the firm's 55,000 employees in the US and Mexico, the firm said.
The new benefits package — rolled out under the banner "My+" — will also extend parental leave offered to all new parents from eight to 12 weeks. The firm gave US and Mexico based staff a 5% pay increase earlier this year, PwC said.
From July, consultants will be able to work abroad for up to 20 days a year, as long as they comply with local tax and immigration regulations, Seals-Coffield said. They're already able to work remotely from anywhere in the continental US under the firm's current flexible working policy, announced in October.
"We can't sustainably compete on compensation and benefits alone," Seals-Coffield said. "Fundamentally what is driving this strategy is that employees' expectations and mindsets have changed and people want greater control in choice around when, where and how much they work."
On Wednesday, PwC's UK business – which operates as a separate regional entity to the US – announced that its 22,000 staff will be able to clock off at midday between June 1 and August 31, The Guardian reported.
The UK switch to summer hours is part of a wider flexible working model entitled "The Deal," which lets partners choose their own hours as long as they spend at least two to three days a week on-site, per the newspaper.

Liverpool owners FSG could go against Jurgen Klopp wishes and release fan favourite
THREE Liverpool stars are out of contract this summer.
Jurgen Klopp denies Liverpool are people's choice for Premier League title
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants James Milner to stay at Anfield beyond his contract expiry this summer. However, the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, could go against his desires with three players' futures hanging in the balance amid a hectic run-in towards the transfer window.
According to The Athletic, Milner's fate after the conclusion of the current season is 'up in the air', but he isn't short of suitors. The 36-year-old midfielder's representatives have also held initial negotiations with Liverpool about a potential contract extension.
Klopp wants to keep Milner amongst his quadruple-chasing squad but could face disappointment if the club don't view that as a good decision. The report adds that FSG will ultimately make the final decision on whether to offer him fresh terms on Merseyside.
Meanwhile, Lorius Karius and Divock Origi, one slightly more popular among fans than the other, are both expected to leave Anfield as free agents this summer. Neither player has made enough appearances throughout the 2021-22 campaign to trigger the one-year extension clause in their contracts.
JUST IN: Chelsea 'respond' to Thomas Tuchel and Marcos Alonso bust-up claims
Milner's longevity and work rate have helped him flourish into a fan favourite at Liverpool since his free transfer from Manchester City in 2015. He has made 282 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, registering 26 goals and 44 assists along the way.
During his stint at Anfield, he has lifted the Champions League, Premier League, League Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup. He will complete the set of major trophies if Liverpool replicate their League Cup triumph and defeat Chelsea in the FA Cup final later this month.

If Klopp's side can pick up any of the FA Cup, Champions League or Premier League in the final few games of his current contract, Milner might deem it a perfect time to set sail and embark on a new challenge. But if the German coach wants him to stay, the prospect of further glory next season could tempt an extension.
FSG could think differently, though, especially given the strength of Klopp's midfield added to the fact he reportedly wants to bolster his ranks with AS Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni this summer. If the Frenchman, or another midfielder, arrives at Anfield, Milner's tally of eight league starts this term would likely shrink, and an exit could make sense for all parties.

backs' Madison Bumgarner, back from ejection, opposes Marlins
Article content
When Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner last took the mound, he was ejected following a bizarre situation with umpire Dan Bellino at the end of the first inning.
Bumgarner (1-1, 1.50 ERA) aims for a much longer outing on Tuesday, when Arizona continues a three-game series against the Miami Marlins in Phoenix.
The Diamondbacks have won each of their first four meetings against Miami this season by one run, including a 4-3 victory on Monday.
Arizona has produced 10 victories in its past 13 games, while Miami has dropped eight of its past nine.

Bumgarner, who has allowed a total of four earned runs in his first six starts, was ejected by Bellino during a routine foreign substance check against Miami on Wednesday.
Instead of looking at his hands, Bellino stared at the pitcher’s face before ejecting Bumgarner for profanity directed toward an umpire.
The early exit had an immediate impact on Arizona’s pitching plans. Corbin Martin, who replaced Bumgarner and pitched the next four innings, was sent to Triple-A Reno on Friday so the Diamondbacks could have another fresh pitcher for their weekend series against the visiting Colorado Rockies.
Bellino later issued an apology for his actions, but Bumgarner said he had already moved forward.
“I don’t need an apology,” Bumgarner said. “Corbin Martin needs an apology. He was forced to come in and threw four innings and then unfortunately there’s too many days where we need a pitcher, so now he’s in Triple-A. That affected him in a much bigger way than it affected me.”

Bumgarner, 32, owns a 3-4 record and 3.86 ERA in 13 career starts against Miami. Garrett Cooper is hitless in 10 at-bats versus Bumgarner, while Miguel Rojas is 5-for-15 with a homer and Jesus Aguilar is 3-for-15 with two doubles.
The Marlins will counter with promising left-hander Jesus Luzardo (2-2, 3.08), who allowed two runs on three hits over six-plus innings in a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday.
Luzardo, 24, struck out seven batters in the defeat and has posted a 35-to-12 strikeout-to-walk ratio through his first five starts covering 26 1/3 innings.
“He’s been great,” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. “For the most part all spring, all season, he’s been ahead in the counts, throwing strikes, using all his pitches. He’s going to continue to get better as he goes in his career and through the year, but there’s nothing that he’s doing right now that you could ask for much more.”

Luzardo is 1-0 with a 5.00 ERA in two career starts against Arizona.
Miami’s bullpen received a boost on Monday when right-hander Dylan Floro was reinstated from the injured list after missing the start of the season due to right rotator cuff tendinitis.
“Hopefully adding him is just another guy in that mix that you can count on for quality outs in different parts of the game,” Mattingly said.
Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte extended his hitting streak to nine games with two hits on Monday, including a tiebreaking solo homer in the sixth inning.
The Diamondbacks’ recent surge has been led by a mix of clutch hitting and quality pitching. The team’s starting pitchers are 6-0 with a 1.26 ERA over the past nine games.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Federal Reserve said Monday that Russia’s war in Ukraine and surging inflation are now the greatest threats facing the global financial system, supplanting the coronavirus pandemic.
The observations came in the Fed’s semiannual Financial Stability Report that looks at trends in trading and investing as well as broad economic issues. The report is not an economic forecast, and does not try to predict the next risk to the financial system. But it does highlight areas of concern to central bankers.
The Fed said economic uncertainty has increased sincethe bank’s previous report, with Ukraine war being a big part of the deterioration. The bank also highlighted the large fluctuations in asset prices— from Treasuries to stocks — as investors reevaluate risk in a high-inflation environment.
“Inflation has been higher and more persistent than expected, even before the invasion of Ukraine, and uncertainty over the inflation outlook poses risks to financial conditions and economic activity,” the Fed said in its report.
The Fed said persistently high inflation may require central bankers to quickly raise interest rates, which could also be a potential risk for financial instabilityin the form of lower economic output as well as higher borrowing costs for individuals and businesses. It could cause debt levels, which the Fed says are elevated but not yet a major concern, to become unsustainable for some businesses.
“Further adverse surprises in inflation and interest rates, particularly if accompanied by a decline in economic activity, could negatively affect the financial system,” the bank said.
For individuals, inflation could cause job losses as the Fed increases interest rates, which could also impact the housing market through higher mortgage rates, the bank said.
Because the report reflects the Fed’s thinking, its conclusions could be part of the backdrop when the central bank conducts its annual stress testsof the nation’s biggest banks in the coming weeks. The Fed used previous reports to highlight the pandemic as well as last year’s interest in “meme” stockssuch as GameStop and AMC Entertainment.
In a statement, Fed Governor Lael Brainard also cited the recent volatility in the commodity markets as a place of potential risk.

Khaby Lame may still be a few million followers behind Charli D’Amelio, but TikTok users have got a plan in place to help him finally take the coveted top spot.
While neither Charli D’Amelio nor Khaby Lame post as regularly as they once did on TikTok, the pair have remained in a tense battle to have the title as TikTok’s most-followed creator.
Charli has held the spot for quite some time thanks to her impressive 140 million follower count, but Khaby has closed the gap over time with some impressive growth of his own. Though, while he was on course to surpass her not too long ago, the Italian comedian still lags behind.

As it stands, Khaby is around three million followers behind Charli, but fans are hoping to finally propel him into first place with their ‘Khaby to number one’ plan.
TikToker Noah Glenn Carter highlighted the idea to swarm comment sections and videos with support for Khaby, urging his followers to use the ‘Khaby to number one’ phrase in their replies and posts.
While only a few videos have used the #KhabyToNumberOne, Carter’s posts have racked up a few million views on their own, with some fans eager to help out with the campaign.
As per SocialBlade stats, since May 5th, the Italian comedian has gained around 200,000 new followers and has seen his follower count rise to 137.5 million despite the fact he has only uploaded a single video in that timeframe.

Of course, not everybody is on board with the idea of bombarding comment sections, with some questioning if Khaby himself cares all that much about the top spot at this point.
“Khaby doesn’t care, he wants to work on his content,” replied one fan to Carter’s video. “Let’s not do this,” added a viewer. “Why must we make him number one, I don’t get it?” asked another.
Only time will tell if the idea is successful and if Khaby is able to finally claim the coveted spot at the top of the TikTok mountain. | https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/tiktok-fans-fight-to-get-khaby-to-number-one-over-charli-damelio-1820298/ | 2022-05-10T10:54:36Z | https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/tiktok-fans-fight-to-get-khaby-to-number-one-over-charli-damelio-1820298/ | true | 1 |
Klopp was wrong to criticise Conte's tactics in Anfield draw - but can Tottenham really win trophies playing this way?
Jurgen Klopp has a history of irritability after his Liverpool team drops points.
It is a trait shared by most winners in football, so we ought not be surprised by his combative comments regarding Antonio Conte’s tactical preferences in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
“I don’t like this kind of football,” Klopp said of Spurs in his post-match press conference. “But that’s my personal problem.

"I think they’re world-class, and I think they should do more for the game. I think they had 36, 38 per cent possession.
“But it’s my problem. I cannot coach it. So that’s why I cannot do it. So yes, world-class players block all the balls, really difficult.”
His comments, said with a dismissiveness that does not come across on the page, have sparked a conversation about defensive tactics in big matches, about the compatability of Conte’s approach and winning silverware, and whether there is a ‘right’ way to play football - a conversation that has rumbled on for nearly 20 years now.
In fairness to Klopp, he clearly recognised he was being a sore loser and was at pains to acknowledge “my problem”, while on Monday he insisted that he respects the way Conte organises his teams.
Nevertheless, with regards to the 90 minutes at Anfield, the accusations he made were unfair.
First of all, Spurs did not park the bus. They were confrontational in the middle third of the pitch and refused to drop too deep until the game state in the final 20 minutes demanded it.
They also committed bodies forward in pinpoint breakaways that were as exciting and progressive as any other mode of attack one could mention.
The visitors from north London passed out dangerously from the back, a high-risk but aesthetic style of build-up play that seeks to draw the opposition forward in the press – and then evade it, wriggling clear to create an ‘artificial attacking transition’: a situation that looks like a counterattack even though it comes from your own deep possession, like Dejan Kulusevski’s fourth-minute opener against Manchester City in February.
But if Tottenham were too defensive for Klopp’s liking, the obvious retort is: what else were they supposed to do?
Conte’s side are unbeaten against Liverpool and Man City this season thanks to a humble, reactive approach that accepts the quality gap between the sides.
Spurs do not always play this way, either. Since Conte’s appointment, only Liverpool and Man City have scored more than their 51 goals, at rate of 2.04 per game.
Like his title-winning Chelsea and Inter teams, Conte shows that possession football is not the only way to create chances and entertain.
All of this is widely understood. Conte’s titles speak for themselves, and every Premier League fan has noticed the flourishing relationship between Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Kulusevski.
Yet the debate still raged through Sunday, as many people – including Gary Neville – suggested Conte’s football is not the ‘right’ way for a top club to play.
It is perhaps a legitimate concern. For one-off matches against the best sides in the world, Conte’s system is brilliant, but as the foundation for a season-long strategy there are signs it is becoming an outmoded style in the modern Premier League.
Due to a combination of growing financial inequality between the elite and the rest, as well as the increased tactical sophistication of the middle-class clubs, the Premier League has never been more concerned with possession and territory.
‘Big Six’ clubs can now expect to be forced to hold 60%+ possession in the vast majority of their matches and can expect to face defences happy to sit back and wait for moments to counterattack.
That was not the case in 2016-17, Conte’s last successful year in English football, but in the age of Klopp and Pep Guardiola – when it takes points tallies in the mid-90s to challenge for the title – starting with a midblock and refusing to press high (as is Conte’s way) may not be dominant enough.
Klopp and Guardiola swarm, counter-press, and pen teams in because that is the forced holding pattern of the division. It is the best way to exhibit complete control.
The issue for Conte is that the desire to hold less of the ball, and to build attacks with a deeper overall shape, means they get stuck when faced with those stubborn defences.
Conte’s tactical coaching is extremely detailed, but largely in a structure that requires transitional space to open up.
A range of defeats in 2022 – from Middlesbrough to Burnley to Wolves – have been defined by Spurs struggling to create momentum when hogging the ball.
And the longer this pattern continues, the more opponents will learn from it; note how Brighton, normally possession heavy and playing into the hands of counterattackers like Spurs, dropped deeper for their recent 1-0 win in north London.
Ironically, what Conte is finding in England is precisely what Klopp was complaining about on Saturday: when your team is rich and powerful by comparison, the opponent will play on the back foot, thus negating carefully-laid plans to hit in the attacking transition.
“He can say what he wants,” Conte said in response to Klopp’s comments. “We played how we had to play. It is naive to think there is ever a way football 'should' or 'shouldn’t' be played.
“My players did ther job. His players didn't. I am very proud.”
In reference to the match at Anfield, Conte is right. But as part of a wider tactical strategy - one that has fallen out of fashion in England over the last five years - those questioning his system may have a point.
There is, after all, a reason why Klopp has decided he cannot do it. | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/klopp-wrong-criticise-conte-tactics-can-tottenham-win/blt93371f0fef2d87e0 | 2022-05-10T10:55:40Z | https://www.goal.com/en-om/news/klopp-wrong-criticise-conte-tactics-can-tottenham-win/blt93371f0fef2d87e0 | false | 11 |
Newswise — Depression is a common mental health condition that affects approximately 1 million Australians each year. It is a significant risk factor for suicide, the leading cause of death in young adults.
The 12-week randomised control trial, conducted by researchers from the University of Technology Sydney, was recently published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Lead researcher Jessica Bayes, a PhD candidate in the UTS Faculty of Health, said the study was the first randomised clinical trial to assess the impact of a Mediterranean diet on the symptoms of depression in young men (aged 18-25).
“We were surprised by how willing the young men were to take on a new diet,” Bayes said. “Those assigned to the Mediterranean diet were able to significantly change their original diets, under the guidance of a nutritionist, over a short time frame.”
“It suggests that medical doctors and psychologists should consider referring depressed young men to a nutritionist or dietitian as an important component of treating clinical depression,” she said.
The study contributes to the emerging field of nutritional psychiatry, which aims to explore the effect that specific nutrients, foods and dietary patterns can have on mental health. The diet used in the study was rich in colourful vegetables, legumes and wholegrains, oily fish, olive oil and raw, unsalted nuts.
“The primary focus was on increasing diet quality with fresh wholefoods while reducing the intake of ‘fast’ foods, sugar and processed red meat,” Bayes said.
“There are lots of reasons why scientifically we think food affects mood. For example, around 90 per cent of serotonin, a chemical that helps us feel happy, is made in our gut by our gut microbes. There is emerging evidence that these microbes can communicate to the brain via the vagus nerve, in what is called the gut-brain axis.
“To have beneficial microbes, we need to feed them fibre, which is found in legumes, fruits and vegetables,” she said.
Roughly 30 per cent of depressed patients fail to adequately respond to standard treatments for major depressive disorder such as cognitive behaviour therapy and anti-depressant medications.
“Nearly all our participants stayed with the program, and many were keen to continue the diet once the study ended, which shows how effective, tolerable and worthwhile they found the intervention.” | https://www.newswise.com/articles/a-better-diet-helps-beat-depression-in-young-men?sc=rsln | 2022-05-10T10:56:26Z | https://www.newswise.com/articles/a-better-diet-helps-beat-depression-in-young-men?sc=rsln | false | 5 |

Are you an ‘emotional perfectionist’? Here’s how to tell (and what you can do about it)
- Posted by
- Lauren Geall
- Published
We can’t control our emotions, so why do so many of us berate ourselves for not being happy 24/7?
Ask the people around you what they want from life, and chances are at least a couple of them will mention happiness in one form or another. It’s one of those dreams people have pursued for generations – after all, it’s only natural to dream of a future in which all of your problems melt away.
However, while people in the past may have defined ‘being happy’ as feeling content with their lot, nowadays our definition of happiness is a lot more personally involved.
Thanks in part to the pressures of social media, happiness is now portrayed as a project we have to work at every day – a kind of status symbol which is upheld by a combination of wellness activities and self-reflection.
And while there’s nothing wrong with trying to boost your mood when you’re feeling rubbish, attempting to be happy all the time (and pretending as if you can control your emotions) isn’t a good idea.
That’s according to Sharnade George, a therapist, writer and founder of the online therapy directory Cultureminds Therapy. George describes this modern urge to be happy 24/7 as a kind of ‘emotional perfectionism’ – and warns that trying to avoid ‘negative’ emotions such as anger and sadness isn’t just unrealistic, but it can stop you from confronting issues in your life.
“Always wanting to feel a certain emotion – happiness, in this case – often means you lack an understanding of the value other emotions can offer,” George explains. “Every single negative emotion is a sign pointing towards a problem that needs your attention.”
As well as this, George explains, putting pressure on yourself to be happy all the time can ironically lead you to get “stuck in a negative state of wanting to be perfect,” and leave you feeling guilty for experiencing a completely normal and healthy range of emotions, whether that’s anger, sadness, fear or disgust.
While there’s no quick fix for unpicking emotional perfectionism, George says there are some things you can do to slowly unravel your attitude – starting with some emotional reflection.
“There are a number of ways for you to improve if you struggle with emotional perfectionism,” she explains. “For example, you could try to take some time to really feel and get to know your emotions, and notice how they feel in your body.
“You could also practise describing your emotions out loud or writing them down to help you reflect on how you feel – and if you’re struggling, you could find a therapist who can help you to take these steps.”
Dealing with emotional perfectionism may not be a big deal in the short term, but it’s clear that forcing yourself to be happy 24/7 can have bigger consequences further down the line.
It’s completely normal to experience all kinds of emotions on a monthly, weekly and even daily basis – and at the end of the day, denying yourself the chance to feel those feelings is only going to make you feel worse.

KARACHI: The country received over $4 billion through the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) till the end of April 2022, lending some support to the dwindling foreign exchange reserves.
The RDA reached $4.2 billion during September 2020 to April 2022, data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) showed on Monday. In the month of April, these inflows clocked in at $245 million.
Expatriates from 175 countries opened 403,750 accounts, which showed an increased number of non-resident Pakistanis (NRPs) sent funds through this scheme. The number of digital accounts reached 388,494 at the end of March.
The latest data showed these funds remained intact and the change of the government in Pakistan didn’t affect these flows as expected earlier. The investment schemes, launched under RDA, known as Naya Pakistan Certificates (NPCs), offer attractive rates both in rupee as well as mainstream foreign currencies such as USD, GBP, and Euro.
The SBP’s data also showed a significant amount of RDA funds are being invested both in NPCs and the capital market. From September 2020 to the end of April 2022, total investment in NPCs stood at $2.8 billion, with $1.4 billion invested in the conventional NPCs and $1.2 billion in Shariah-compliant instruments. The expats invested $38 million in the stock market.
The NCPs are higher-yielding instruments. In dollar terms, the three-, six- and 12-month NPCs offer a profit rate of 5.5 percent, 6 percent, and 6.5 percent, respectively. For three- and five-year certificates, the return is 6.75 percent and 7 percent, respectively. The return rates in rupee terms are much higher ranging from 9.5 percent to 11 percent on different tenors.
These inflows contribute to accumulating the country’s foreign exchange reserves at a time when the country is in a dire need of external finances. With the current account deficit surging and the central bank’s foreign reserves falling to as low as $10.5 billion (adequate to pay less than two months of imports), the country’s economic difficulties are increasing.
Analysts said initiatives for overseas Pakistanis such as RDA should be prioritised and proper channel flows for remittances should be maintained to keep foreign reserves afloat.
However, an immediate step that needs to be taken is the management of foreign reserves. For that all efforts should be made to start negotiations with the International Monetary Fund for the resumption of the stalled $6 billion loan programme.
“Moreover, an immediate task that needs to be taken up is foreign exchange reserve management. For that, the primary focus should be on negotiation with the IMF,” the analysts added. In September 2020, the SBP allowed approximately nine million NRPs to open an account in Pakistan through a digital and online process without any need to visit a bank branch. These digital accounts, known as RDAs, fully integrate the Pakistani diaspora with their homeland’s banking and payment system by providing access to funds transfer, bills and fee payments, and e-commerce, according to the information on the SBP’s website.

Sol Bamba: Ivory Coast star among players released by Middlesbrough
EFL Championship side Middlesbrough have confirmed the exit of several players among them defender Sol Bamba.
The 37-year-old Ivory Coast player returned to Riverside at the start of the season under Neil Warnock after penning a one-year contract. It was after he had recovered from non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May last year.

- Former Ajax player & DR Congo international Lukoki dies aged 29
- Ballon d'Or 2022 Power Rankings: Benzema, Salah or Mane - will the Champions League final decide the winner?
However, the Riverside-based club have confirmed the exit of the player alongside Lee Peltier and Neil Taylor, whose contracts were not renewed, and Folarin Balogun, Aaron Connolly, James Lea Siliki, Andraz Sporar, whose loan deals expired.
Bamba, who went on to make 29 senior appearances during the campaign, including memorable wins over Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, has paid tribute to Boro and the fans after it was confirmed he will leave in the summer.
“I can’t even put it into words,” Bamba told the club’s official website. “I really want the fans to understand how important they have been for me, they gave me the strength to achieve what I have this season.
“I’ve played for many clubs but I will never forget this, they're probably the best fans in the country and I wish them all the best.”
Boro manager Chris Wilder has also talked about the exit of Bamba and others players, who will leave after the expiry of their loan deals.
“We thank them all,” Wilder told the same portal. “From the loan players' point of view, it maybe hasn’t worked out as they’d have liked.
“It’s been a difficult period for us on that one, but the other guys whose contracts have expired – Sol [Bamba], Lee Peltier, and Neil Taylor – they’ve been exemplary professionals for us, both on and off the pitch. They’re all fabulous guys and have great qualities so I thank them as well.”
Bamba started his career in his native France with Paris Saint-Germain but failed to establish himself in their first team. He moved to Scotland to join Dunfermline Athletic in 2006, helping the club reach the final of the Scottish Cup in his first season.
Two years later, he was transferred to Hibernian, before joining Leicester City in January 2011. He was sold to Turkish club Trabzonspor in 2012 for £750,000 before joining Palermo. However, he was loaned to Leeds United after making only one appearance in six months.
He eventually joined Leeds on a permanent deal and was appointed club captain, spending a further year with the club before being released and subsequently joining Cardiff City. In his first full season with Cardiff, he helped the side win promotion to the Premier League. | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/sol-bamba-ivory-coast-star-among-players-released-by/bltc22bac5f83bce177 | 2022-05-10T11:04:02Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/sol-bamba-ivory-coast-star-among-players-released-by/bltc22bac5f83bce177 | false | 7 |

Rugby chiefs to meet in Dublin to discuss revived Nations Championship proposal
A clearer picture over the success of plans to reshape the global calendar is expected to emerge as rugby chiefs meet in Dublin on Tuesday evening to discuss the revived Nations Championship concept.
Attempts to launch the biennial format between teams from the northern and southern hemispheres that would begin in 2026 and take place outside of World Cup and Lions years were unsuccessful three years ago.
And while no formalised arrangement is expected until World Rugby’s executive committee next meet in November, it is hoped that an agreement in principle is reached this week.
It is believed by some involved in the discussions that it will signal the end of the Nations Championship if a direction of travel is not determined by the stakeholders gathered in Dublin, who include all the major unions.
Previous efforts to restructure the calendar have failed due to conflicting interests between the hemispheres, tensions between the club and international games and concerns over player welfare.
There is a desire to establish a more aligned season that offers greater competitive meaning to the summer tours and autumn fixtures, as well as a clearer pathway for developing nations.
However, with the changes would come greater commercial uncertainty at a time when the game is recovering from the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.
While the current schedule as agreed by all stakeholders in San Francisco in 2017 is unsatisfactory, it provides established and proven revenue streams on which major unions can plan their finances.
The desire to move the game forward in its most comprehensive overhaul since going professional in 1995 is thus battling with self-interest.
The Nations Championship format would have a top division of 12 teams, consisting of six each from the northern and southern hemispheres, who would compete in the summer and autumn windows culminating in a grand final.
A second tier would consist of emerging nations with a play-off offering the opportunity to secure a place amongst the heavyweights.

DALLAS, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Navigator CO2 Ventures LLC ("Navigator") announced today a long-term agreement with Big River Resources, LLC and Big River United Energy, LLC ("Big River") to provide turnkey carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) services on Navigator's Heartland Greenway system, to capture, transport and utilize or permanently store CO2 from three Big River ethanol biorefineries located in West Burlington, IA; Dyersville, IA; and Galva, IL.
The letter of intent signed by both companies outlines the key terms for Navigator to provide capture-to-end use CCUS services, including realization of environmental attributes related to permanent removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and finding key value optimization opportunities for captured CO2, for an initial term of twenty (20) years and an annual volume of 1,000,000 metric tons of CO2, which is equivalent to offsetting the carbon emissions of 215,469 vehicles driven annually. Start of operations is expected at the beginning of 2025.
"We are eager to start working with Big River – one of the largest private biorefining platforms – to provide them with full-service carbon capture, storage, and value optimization to maximize the participation in a decarbonizing marketplace. The Heartland Greenway will provide Big River with a means to remove their carbon dioxide emissions while concurrently increasing the profitability of their product," said Matt Vining, Navigator's Chief Executive Officer. "The Big River platform and its members are making the pragmatic decision to reduce the carbon intensity of its products while increasing economic flexibility for a dynamic marketplace, and we are excited to partner with them to accomplish these objectives."
Navigator continues to add a diverse group of industrial emission sources in the agriculture and food production value chain who are evolving their businesses to produce sustainability focused end-products for their customers. Navigator's growing carbon handling ecosystem provides customers with the necessary tools to maintain market flexibility while maximizing value for all stakeholders.
Once fully expanded, the Heartland Greenway will be able to capture and sequester 15 million metric tons of CO2 annually, which, according to EPA estimates, is equivalent to eliminating the annual carbon footprint of the Des Moines metro area three times over.
"Big River is excited to advance our collaboration with Navigator, a leader and expert in the capture, transportation, and storage of the biogenic CO2 produced at our ethanol facilities," said David Zimmermann, Big River's Chief Executive Officer. "The resulting reductions in lifecycle carbon intensity at our plants will allow us to enhance our leadership position in the push toward decarbonization of transportation fuels. As we strive to retain value in our local communities, it is imperative to understand that each component of the corn kernel has value, including the CO2. With the value proposition embodied within a partnership with Navigator, we come much closer to realizing that full environmental and monetary value. This is the right decision not only for the environment, but also for our shareholders, corn suppliers, and underlying communities."

B.C. Ferries is increasing its surcharge on all routes beginning June 1, due to the recent spike in record-setting fuel prices.

Article content
The ferry company will increase its fuel surcharge from one per cent to 2.5 per cent beginning next month. The company generally adds a surcharge, issues rebates on fares or neither to manage the cost of fuel. The surcharge or rebate is regulated by the B.C. Ferries commissioner.
The surcharge increase expected next month will total 45 cents per adult ticket and $2 per vehicle and driver on routes linking Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island. For inter-island routes, the surcharge will total 25 cents per adult ticket and $1.05 per vehicle and driver.
“The company does not benefit financially from surcharges or rebates,” read a news release announcing the increase.
Beginning June 1, a 2.5 per cent surcharge will also be introduced on the Port Hardy-Prince Rupert route, the Prince Rupert-Haida Gwaii, and Port Hardy-Central Coast routes. Those routes currently have neither a surcharge nor rebate.
The company also hopes to introduce battery-equipped ships in the future, once charging infrastructure can be installed at ferry terminals. | https://driving.ca/auto-news/local-content/b-c-ferries-to-increase-fare-surcharge-june-1-due-to-record-fuel-prices | 2022-05-10T11:30:01Z | https://driving.ca/auto-news/local-content/b-c-ferries-to-increase-fare-surcharge-june-1-due-to-record-fuel-prices | true | 2 |

Marcos presidency complicates US efforts to counter China

Marcos presidency complicates US efforts to counter China
Show all 3Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s apparent landslide victory in the Philippine presidential election is giving rise to immediate concerns about a further erosion of democracy in the region, and could complicate American efforts to blunt growing Chinese influence and power in the Pacific.
Marcos, the son and namesake of longtime dictator Ferdinand Marcos, captured more than 30.8 million votes in Monday's election according to an unofficial count, more than double those of his closest challenger.
If the results stand, he will take office at the end of June for a six-year term with Sara Duterte, the daughter of outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte, as his vice president.
Duterte — who leaves office with a 67% approval rating — nurtured closer ties with China and Russia, while at times railing against the United States.
He has walked back on many of his threats against Washington, however, including a move to abrogate a defense pact between the two countries, and the luster of China's promise of infrastructure investment has dulled, with much failing to materialize.
Whether the recent trend in relations with the U.S. will continue has a lot to do with how President Joe Biden's administration responds to the return of a Marcos to power in the Philippines, said Manila-based political scientist Andrea Chloe Wong, a former researcher in the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs.
“On the one hand you have Biden regarding the geostrategic interests in the Philippines, and on the other hand he has to balance promoting American democratic ideals and human rights,” she said.
“If he chooses to do that, he might have to isolate the Marcos administration, so this will definitely be a delicate balancing act for the Philippines, and Marcos' approach to the U.S. will highly depend on how Biden will engage with him.”
His election comes at a time when the U.S. has been increasingly focused on the region, embarking on a strategy unveiled in February to considerably broaden U.S. engagement by strengthening a web of security alliances and partnerships, with an emphasis on addressing China’s growing influence and ambitions.
Thousands of American and Filipino forces recently wrapped up one of their largest combat exercises in years, which showcased U.S. firepower in the northern Philippines near its sea border with Taiwan.
Marcos has been short on specifics about foreign policy, but in interviews he said he wanted to pursue closer ties with China, including possibly setting aside a 2016 ruling by a tribunal in The Hague that invalidated almost all of China’s historical claims to the South China Sea.
China has refused to recognize the rulin g, and Marcos was quoted as saying “that arbitration is no longer an arbitration if there's only one party.”
Marcos has also said he would maintain his nation's alliance with the U.S., but the relationship is complicated by American backing of the administrations that took power after his father was deposed, and a 2011 U.S. District Court ruling in Hawaii finding him and his mother in contempt of an order to furnish information on assets in connection with a 1995 human rights class action suit against Marcos Sr.
The court fined them $353.6 million, which has never been paid and could complicate the possibility of him visiting the U.S. in the future.
The U.S. has a long history with the Philippines, which was an American colony for most of the first half of the last century before it was granted independence in 1946.
The U.S. closed its last military bases on the Philippines in 1992, but the country's location on the South China Sea means it remains strategically important, and under a 1951 collective defense treaty the U.S. guarantees its support if the Philippines is attacked.
Even though the Biden administration may have preferred to work with Marcos' leading opponent, Leni Robredo, the “U.S.-Philippines alliance is vital to both nations' security and prosperity, especially in the new era of competition with China,” said Gregory B. Poling, director of the Southeast Asia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
“Unlike Leni, with her coherent platform for good governance and development at home and standing up to China abroad, Marcos is a policy cipher,” Poling said in a research note. “He has avoided presidential debates, shunned interviews, and has been silent on most issues.”
Marcos has been clear, however, that he would like to try again to improve ties with Beijing, Poling said.
“But when it comes to foreign policy, Marcos will not have the same space for maneuver that Duterte did,” he said. “The Philippines tried an outstretched hand and China bit it. That is why the Duterte government has re-embraced the U.S. alliance and gotten tougher on Beijing over the last two years.”
Marcos Sr. was ousted in 1986 after millions of people took to the streets, forcing an end to his corrupt dictatorship and a return to democracy. But the election of Duterte as president in 2016 brought a return to a strongman-type leader, which voters have now doubled-down on with Marcos Jr.
Domestically, Marcos, who goes by his childhood nickname “Bongbong,” is widely expected to pick up where Duterte left off, stifling a free press and cracking down on dissent with less of the outgoing leader's crude and brash style, while putting an end to ongoing attempts to recover some of the billions of dollars his father pilfered from the state coffers.
But a return to the hard-line rule of his father, who declared martial law for much of his rule, is not likely, said Julio Teehankee, a political science professor at Manila’s De La Salle University.
“He does not have the courage or the brilliance, or even the ruthlessness to become a dictator, so I think what we will see is a form of authoritarian-lite or Marcos-lite," Teehankee said.
The new Marcos government will not mean the end of Philippine democracy, Poling said, “though it may accelerate its decay.”
“The country’s democratic institutions have already been battered by six years of the Duterte presidency and the rise of online disinformation, alongside the decades-long corrosives of oligarchy, graft, and poor governance,” he said.
“The United States would be better served by engagement rather than criticism of the democratic headwinds buffeting the Philippines.”
Marcos' approach at home could have a spillover effect in other countries in the region, where democratic freedoms are being increasingly eroded in many places and the Philippines had been seen as a positive influence, Wong said.
“This will have an impact on Philippine foreign policy when it comes to promoting its democratic values, freedoms and human rights, particularly in Southeast Asia,” she said. “The Philippines is regarded as a bastion of democracy in the region, with a strong civil society and a noisy media, and with Bongbong Marcos as president, we will have less credibility.”

A look at what’s happening around baseball today:
—
CORREA CONNECTION
Justin Verlander (3-1, 1.93 ERA) and the Houston Astros try for their eighth straight win when they visit Joe Ryan (3-1, 1.63) and the first-place Minnesota Twins in a matchup of American League contenders with identical 18-11 records.
It’s unclear if new Twins shortstop Carlos Correa will play in the three-game series against his former team because of a bruised finger. Correa has been sidelined since he was hit by a pitch late last week. The two-time All-Star and 2015 AL Rookie of the Year went from Houston to Minnesota last offseason, signing a $105.3 million, three-year contract. He can opt out after each of the first two seasons.
After completing a 7-0 homestand Sunday, the Astros open a nine-game road trip. Minnesota has swept three of its last five series and won 14 of 17 since beginning the season 4-8.
PINSTRIPE PITCHING
One day after teammate Nestor Cortes took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, Luis Severino (2-0, 3.75 ERA) starts on eight days’ rest for the New York Yankees against Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the powerful Blue Jays. Yusei Kikuchi (1-1, 4.35) goes for Toronto in the opener of a two-game series between AL East rivals at Yankee Stadium.
New York, which has won 13 of 15, boasts the best record in the majors at 20-8 – including 12-4 at home. The Yankees are 4-3 this season against Toronto, which snapped their 11-game winning streak last week.
HUNTED GREENE
Reds rookie Hunter Greene seeks redemption in his second straight start against NL Central-leading Milwaukee after he allowed five homers last time out. Greene’s eye-catching velocity has been up and down in his first month as a big leaguer, and he topped 100 mph just once while allowing eight runs against Milwaukee last Thursday.
Of course, everything is going wrong in Cincinnati. Mike Moustakas became the 14th Reds player on the injured list Monday when he was added without designation, the latest Cincinnati player apparently sidelined by COVID-19 issues on the last-place club.
First baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Jonathan India are also out for COVID-19-related reasons. Outfielder Tyler Naquin returned from the COVID-19 IL on Saturday.
MADBUM’S BACK
Arizona’s Madison Bumgarner returns to the mound against Miami after being ejected in the first inning of his previous start during a foreign substance check.
The veteran left-hander got into an argument with first base umpire Dan Bellino during the check, and the shouting match led to Bumgarner’s second career ejection. Bellino issued a public apology for his role in the exchange a few days later.
LONDON CALLING
Major League Baseball intends to play regular-season games in London in 2023, 2024 and 2026. The Cardinals and Cubs are the leading candidates to play in London next year after their scheduled 2020 meeting there was canceled due to the pandemic.
The New York Yankees swept two games against the Boston Red Sox at London’s Olympic Stadium in June 2019, MLB’s first games ever in Europe.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced the formation of the MLB London Legacy Group on Monday that will include members from the Greater London Authority and Baseball Softball UK.

Eleven staffers at Missouri hospital are pregnant at the same time
Liberty Hospital
(LIBERTY, Mo.) — At one Missouri hospital, it’s going to be quite a baby bonanza soon.
Ten nurses and one doctor at Liberty Hospital in Liberty, Missouri, are pregnant at the same time. And, in case you were wondering, none of it was planned and nothing’s in the water.
“There’s a lot of nurses saying they won’t drink the water,” Hannah Miller, 29, told ABC News’ Good Morning America. “One of the nurses actually brought her own water bottle the other night and I was joking with her. I was like, ‘Oh, you’re really not drinking the water,'” the postpartum nurse, who’s expecting her first child, added.
Dr. Anna Gorman of Northland Obstetrics and Gynecology is expecting her second child and said it wasn’t likely that all 11 of them would be pregnant together.
“I think it’s really unique because it’s all in the same unit … and especially like our population ratio, I think is quite high. So sure it happens, but it’s pretty exciting when it’s this big,” the OB-GYN said.
Most of the pregnant staff are nurses with Liberty Hospital’s Birthing Center and said they hope to deliver there when the time comes. They’ve also bonded over their shared experience so far.
“This is definitely a great experience and it’s something that I feel like we’ll probably bond over for a lifetime, having the babies due around the same time,” Alex Atcheson, a labor and delivery nurse, told GMA. “It’s been great to have each other for support and go through pregnancy together.”
The 29-year-old is expecting her third child, along with her colleague, labor and delivery nurse Alison Harrell.
“Alex and I figured out pretty early that we were due the same day,” the 30-year-old said. “And then we started making a list of everyone and people just kept adding to the list as time went on.”
Atcheson and Harrell are 37 weeks along and will welcome their little ones in the next two weeks, with both sharing the same due date of May 27. Their labor and delivery co-worker Katie Bestgen is due in a little over two months, on July 20.
Meanwhile, Christen Burns, 26, joined the club more recently.
“I was one of the last ones to tell everybody that I was pregnant,” she said.
The labor and delivery nurse is expecting her first child and said, “I think it was just more exciting to add to the group and have everybody right there with me.”
In addition to delighting in each other’s happy news, the nurses and co-workers have been sharing their own experiences as well.
“It’s been really helpful. Just like getting advice and tips from my coworkers and especially the ones that have had babies before and just relating and like, ‘Oh, do you have problems with your hips too, or different pains or that kind of thing?'” Cheyenne Beaty said.
For the 26-year-old labor and delivery nurse expecting her first child, she’s appreciated having a built-in support group at work.
“It’s just nice that there’s people around me going through the same thing for sure,” she said.
Therese Byrum, 27, said lately, there have been at least two pregnant staffers working together during a shift and they’ve also had instances where everyone was pregnant during a shift. The obstetric float nurse who rotates between labor and delivery, the NICU, and in postpartum, will be one of the last staffers to give birth. The mom of three is expecting her fourth child on Thanksgiving Day.

Two in custody after fatal shooting on Highway 601 South in Lugoff
LUGOFF, S.C. (WOLO) – Kershaw County deputies say two suspects are in custody after a fatal shooting this morning.

A huge number of us decided to welcome new puppies into our homes over the last two years – according to Kennel Club figures dog ownership soared by nearly eight percent – and post-lockdown demand for four-legged friends remains high.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt.
Another thing to take into consideration is that some breeds are prone to particular health issues.
An estimated 20 per cent of dogs have some kind of ear infection – ranging from the barely-noticable to the severe – but some breeds far more likely to be affected than others.
Here are the 10 least breeds of dog genetically predisposed to developing ear infections, what to look out for, and how to treat the problem.

Whistleblowers Have Legal Options in Response to Retaliation
Employees who face retaliatory attacks after blowing the whistle may have a legal claim says Amsberry Law Firm
SAN ANTONIO, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Whistleblowers who might face retaliation from their current or former employers have legal options for protection. Recent cases like the lawsuit against the Texas Attorney General highlight the need for whistleblower lawyers to file lawsuits.
This approach can protect whistleblowers from retaliatory actions like backlash, accusations of lying, and even dismissal. Attorneys can offer employees a number of options if they suspect their employer or a government office of wrongdoing and need protection from retaliation.
When an employee suspects their employer of wrongdoing, they need to make a difficult decision to point out the illegal, fraudulent or abusive behavior and open themselves to retaliation. Or, they may decide to say nothing.
Staying quiet will avoid retaliation, but it won't expose the behavior.
A recent high-profile case involves Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Eight employees in the Attorney General's office accused Paxton of taking bribes and tampering with government records.
After the allegations were made, all eight employees either resigned or were forced out of their jobs. Many see leaving their jobs as Paxton's retaliation against them for blowing the whistle on his illegal practices.
Whistleblower attorney Russell Amsberry states, "Many whistleblowers face retaliation for doing the right thing. The prevalence of retaliation can, unfortunately, prevent other would-be whistleblowers from coming forward."
Most whistleblowers are aware of illegal or fraudulent behavior and choose to bring it to the attention of government officials or the public. This choice exposes them to retaliation, so they look for protection by cooperating with law enforcement and justice department lawyers.
Most whistleblower cases involve reporting to state or federal government agencies.
Opportunity for a potential monetary award may motivate some whistleblowers. However, many perceive the risk as outweighing the benefits. With strong legal representation, this doesn't have to be the case.
Amsberry explains how laws protecting whistleblowers help attorneys like him protect those who want to see fraud and other illegal behaviors exposed. "Employment attorneys protect workers who blow the whistle, which means they can feel safe bringing fraud to light by reporting it to the authorities."
Since most whistleblower actions have to do with the workplace, choosing a law firm with extensive employment law experience can help protect a whistleblower from retaliation.

Queen´s Speech: 38 Bills but nothing to ease pain of soaring living costs
Boris Johnson billed his legislative agenda as a blueprint to get the country “back on track” after the coronavirus pandemic, and will hope it can bolster his troubled premiership.
But attention will quickly turn to what the Queen’s Speech lacks, with the Prime Minister saying he cannot “completely shield” everyone from the cost-of-living crisis.
Essentially there are 38 Bills in the programme, but nothing to alleviate consumers’ soaring household expenses right now.
Here is a look at what was in the Speech and what was absent.
– What is the Queen’s Speech?
Written entirely by the Government, the Queen, as head of state, reads the outline of policies and laws proposed for the new parliamentary session.
But this Tuesday’s State Opening of Parliament had a striking difference: the 96-year-old Queen was not speaking at all, and was not present for the first time in 59 years.
Instead, the Prince of Wales stood in for the major constitutional duty due to the Queen experiencing what Buckingham Palace described as “episodic mobility problems”.
– What is in it?
Mr Johnson will hope that eye-catching policies will help shore up his leadership which has been rocked by partygate and heavy losses in the local elections.
Ministers will try to force through a crackdown on “guerrilla protests”, with jail sentences and unlimited fines for those who disrupt key national infrastructure.
A series of measures will seek to take advantage of Brexit, including tearing up EU regulations and implementing free trade deals with Australia and New Zealand.
A Bill of Rights that officials said would replace the Human Rights Act will be introduced, the sell-off of Channel 4 will be enabled, and plans will be introduced to deal with the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Amid the drawn-out invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the security services will get extra powers to tackle foreign spies and efforts to influence British democracy, with a reference to Chinese interference.
A Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill will seek to drive local growth and regenerate towns and cities across England, including by enshrining the Government’s levelling up “missions”.
It will also include reforms to the planning system to “give communities a louder voice”, after previous plans were paused amid Conservative resistance.
Ministers will try to deter companies repeating P&O’s mass firing of staff by giving ports powers to refuse access to ferries not paying the UK minimum wage.
An Energy Security Bill seeks to transition to cheaper and greener energy while aiming to minimise fluctuating bills, including by extending the price cap beyond 2023.
And a UK Infrastructure Bank with £22 billion of financial capacity is among the plans to grow the economy and get it “back on track” after the pandemic, as Mr Johnson put it.
– What does it lack?
Labour critics and possibly those on the Conservative backbenches too are bound to seize on the absence of any measures to immediately alleviate the pain of spiralling prices.
This is despite inflation being forecast to hit a 40-year high later in 2022 at 10%.
There is no windfall tax on the soaring profits of energy giants, which has been demanded by opposition parties and others campaigning to ease the cost-of-living crisis.
Instead, ministers highlighted a £22 billion package already announced while hinting at further support in the future.
Referring to the Russian invasion and the “aftershocks” of Covid-19, Mr Johnson said: “No country is immune and no government can realistically shield everyone from the impact.”
Also absent was legislation to implement the Government’s threat to tear up the post-Brexit deal on Northern Ireland’s trading arrangements.
But it is understood that Foreign Secretary Liz Truss could take further action in the coming weeks if negotiations with the EU continue to stall.
– What happens next?
The new parliamentary session begins when Charles leaves and MPs and peers get back to work, starting with around six days of debate on the Speech.
A vote will be held in the Commons to approve the agenda, but is likely to pass with Mr Johnson’s Conservatives holding a large majority. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10801013/Queen-s-Speech-38-Bills-ease-pain-soaring-living-costs.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-10T11:48:55Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10801013/Queen-s-Speech-38-Bills-ease-pain-soaring-living-costs.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 9 |

Nearly one in five students were absent from Northamptonshire secondary school in the run-up to last month’s Easter holidays, according to official figures.
Department for Education data shows at least 5,000 pupils were absent from the county’s state-funded schools — around 2,100 in West Northamptonshire and 3,000 in the North — during the last week of March, just before the Easter holidays.
That equated to 10 percent of pupils from schools that responded to the survey that week.
In county secondary schools, up to 18 percent of students — many preparing for this month’s GCSE exams — were absent compared to seven percent in primaries.
Nationally, 11.4 percent of pupils were absent before Easter which was up from 9.7 percent in February when the number of known Covid-19 cases was much higher and restrictions tighter.
Pupils can be listed as absent for any reason, including general sickness, contracting Covid-19, isolating as a positive contact, and any other disciplinary issue or unexpected absence.
Figures do not specify what proportion of pupils were absent due to Covid-19.
Yet the National Association of Head Teachers has criticised ministers’ approach to handling Covid in schools, arguing it is attempting to "pretend the pandemic is over."
Paul Whiteman, NAHT general secretary, said: "The living with Covid plan is increasingly looking like an 'ignoring Covid plan' when it comes to schools."
He warned that disruption may continue in the future, and that it is important no pupil is disadvantaged by it, adding: "We are not out of the woods yet."
The DfE said it is focused on increasing school attendance to ensure "every child gets the best possible education, no matter whey in the country they live."
Disruption in schools before Easter extended to staff, according to the NAHT and Association of School and College Leaders.
Some 8.1 percent of teachers and 7.1 percent of teaching assistants were absent in West Northamptonshire schools in the week to March 31.
In North Northamptonshire, nine percent of teachers and 6.1 percent of teaching assistants were absent.
Geoff Barton, ACSL general secretary, said: "It is very clear that Covid is continuing to wreak havoc and it is hard for schools to operate under these conditions.”
He added that pupils from vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds have been unfairly hit by the pandemic and the high rate of absence is because they have become "disengaged from education".
Mr Barton urged the Government to increase investment in attendance and pastoral services to aid schools' efforts to support vulnerable children.
In Northamptonshire, around 15 percent of children eligible for free school meals were not in school before the Easter break.
A DfE spokesperson said it is pushing forward with plans to require schools to have an attendance policy that must meet national standards.
They added that the department has also introduced attendance advisors to support local authorities and academy trusts and will continue to implement best practice among social workers, mental health practitioners and other health officials. | https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/education/teachers-fears-over-northamptonshire-gcse-students-missing-school-under-governments-ignoring-covid-plan-3687770 | 2022-05-10T11:52:04Z | https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/education/teachers-fears-over-northamptonshire-gcse-students-missing-school-under-governments-ignoring-covid-plan-3687770 | true | 4 |

An organisation representing Scottish sports writers has apologised after an offensive speech triggered a walkout at an awards event.
TV presenter Eilidh Barbour was among those who walked out of a Scottish Football Writers’ Association (SFWA) dinner on Sunday night.
The sports broadcaster claimed she ‘never felt so unwelcome in the industry’ following a speech from by Bill Copeland, a former barrister who works on the after-dinner speaking circuit.
Writing on Twitter after leaving the awards function, Barbour called out the Scottish Football Writers Association for its choice of speaker.
‘Never felt so unwelcome in the industry I work in than sitting at the Scottish Football Writers Awards,’ she wrote.
‘A huge reminder there is still so much to do in making our game an equal place.’
The SFWA has quickly apologised and have stated that they will launch a review into the issue.
‘The Scottish Football Writers’ Association apologises to anyone offended or upset by material from one of our after-dinner speakers at last night’s annual awards dinner,’ they said.
‘We have agreed unanimously that this will act as a catalyst to review and improve the format of our future events to make it an enjoyable and inspirational event for all.’

The Punch reports that the ex-VP who also described Saraki as an honest person noted that he had formed the Peer Review Mechanism that allowed consultants to go state-by-state to report the development plans and progress of each state to the Governors Forum.
According to him, this mechanism helped all the governors to meet the plans and objectives of the PDP government at the time.
He added:
“Saraki is an organiser. As the Governor of Kwara State, he set up the foundation for commercial agriculture. Today, in Agriculture, the arrangement that he set up in Shonga Farms has become a model that each state in Nigeria is emulating.
“As the Senate President, we all know the success that he brought to this nation. This is why, I trust that if our party and our delegates give Saraki the opportunity, he will further prove what I am saying."
“He is a young man, strong and healthy. Being President is not an easy job."
He also noted that the office of the president needs people like Saraki to deliver development and a sustainable economy to the Nigerian people.
Nigeria's old generation don't mean well for us, our yet unborn children, Saraki says
Saraki had earlier stated that the older generation does not mean well for Nigerian youths across the country and those abroad.
Bukola Saraki, a former president of the Eighth Senate also urged young Nigerians to partner with him to take over the country from the old generation.
According to the Saraki, he prevented the presidency from plunging the country into debt several times as a Senate president.
2023: Saraki reveals his ongoing moves before declaring for presidency
Meanwhile, Saraki had stated that for now, he is making consultations with some top stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The former Kwara governor who spoke with journalists on Sunday, March 13, stated that he would declare his intention to run for the presidency at the end of March.
Saraki also disclosed he would make the declaration after the PDP reveals which geopolitical zone will get its presidential ticket.

Given the straight choice between leadership from the SNP or the Tories, the voters re-elected the SNP as the strongest party in Edinburgh.
Originally within one seat of the SNP, the Conservatives were punished by the public in last week’s local government elections, cutting their number of councillors in half.
For some strange reason, the Lib Dems have since ruled themselves out of working constructively with the election winner. That still leaves options for Edinburgh to be governed by progressive parties that take their responsibilities seriously.
Edinburgh SNP group leader Adam McVey is correct to point out that: “The right-wing agenda of the Tories has been systematically rejected by the people of Edinburgh and the progressive politics that the SNP leads in the city has been endorsed by the people.
"People want us to tackle poverty, tackle climate change and improve our public services and that's what the SNP offered at this election and for we've for all intents and purposes won this election on this basis.”
Negotiations are now ongoing between the parties, which is the norm in most Scottish local authorities, given the proportional electoral system used to elect our councils.
Edinburgh deserves the stability which an agreement can guarantee in the council chamber. Like Scotland as a whole, the SNP won the election, coming in significantly ahead of the other political parties. With that kind of mandate, an SNP-led administration should take Edinburgh forward during the years ahead. | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/edinburgh-council-elections-voters-rejected-tories-right-wing-agenda-and-snp-should-now-lead-the-city-to-a-progressive-future-angus-robertson-msp-3686627 | 2022-05-10T12:02:06Z | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/edinburgh-council-elections-voters-rejected-tories-right-wing-agenda-and-snp-should-now-lead-the-city-to-a-progressive-future-angus-robertson-msp-3686627 | true | 1 |

Internet access is about to become cheaper for a large amount of Americans. Today, the Biden administration announced a new partnership with various broadband providers that will help lower the cost of high-speed internet access. The announcement is part of the FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program which helps lower the price of an internet bill up to $75 per month.
According to a fact sheet issued by the White House, 20 different broadband providers are part of the partnership, including Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Cox, Spectrum, and Allo. This helps cover “more than 80% of the U.S. population across urban, suburban, and rural areas,” according to the White House, “to either increase speeds or cut prices, making sure they all offer ACP-eligible households high-speed, high-quality internet plans for no more than $30/month.”
Americans eligible for the program include those whose annual household income sits below 200 percent of the poverty line and those part of specific government-run programs, or about 40 percent of all American households. Those eligible will save up to $30 per month on their internet bills, while folks in households on Tribal Lands are eligible for an even larger discount of $75 per month.
“You know, the need for high-speed Internet is — is a little bit like what used to be probably what my grandfather talked about: needing to have a telephone,” President Biden said during the announcement today. “It’s pretty consequential. And it’s only going to keep growing, this need. High-speed Internet is not a luxury any longer, it’s a necessity.”
Obviously, those who enroll in the program will want decent speeds, and that seems to be a priority for the President and his administration. According to the White House, plans that broadband providers offer will need to be at least 100Mbps “everywhere that the provider’s infrastructure is capable of it.” This is generally fast enough for a family of four to use all of their devices at once for things like browsing, streaming, and so on. In addition, the Administration is asking providers to offer these plans without any tacked-on fees or data caps.

Aston Villa will reportedly "offer" Marseille's Boubacar Kamara a five-year deal at Villa Park.
Kamara has been consistently touted with a move to Steven Gerrard ’s side in recent weeks, as the club are continually linked with bringing in a defensive midfielder. The 22-year-old, who can also play centre-back, has been a regular for the French side since 2018 and has been a virtual ever-present this term, making 32 league appearances.
The Villa boss was spotted in Marseille alongside sporting director Johan Lange and chief executive Christian Purslow last month, in what was suggested to be a potential scouting mission for Kamara. The 22-year-old’s contract is set to come to an end this summer leading the Frenchman to be the subject of numerous transfer reports.

However, football journalist Ekrem Konur has claimed that Villa "will hold talks" with the player’s agent and plan to "offer the French star a contract until 2027". Though Konur also states that a total of five teams are interested in the Marseille man.
It was reported by the Daily Mail on Sunday that the club had “held further talks” over a potential deal. While it was claimed on Monday that the future free agent could be demanding as much as £150,000-a-week in wages .
Kamara is one of several holding midfielders that have linked with a move to B6 this summer, with the likes of Kalvin Phillips and Yves Bissouma also mentioned. However, as showcased by Marvellous Nakamba’s performances earlier this season, Steven Gerrard emphasised the importance of finding a defensive midfielder that can provide a solid base for his side.
After playing Calum Chambers in the number six role against Burnley at the weekend, Gerrard was asked about how important the position was to his side. "Yeah, we've spoken about it a lot,” he said.
"We want them to be a specialist in that area, we want them to have certain attributes but, yeah, we knew Calum (Chambers) could do that before we made the signing. We knew he could play right back, centre-back but, also, he played a full season for Fulham as a No.6." | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/boubacar-kamara-aston-villa-transfer-23914699 | 2022-05-10T12:04:42Z | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/boubacar-kamara-aston-villa-transfer-23914699 | true | 1 |

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos and the daughter of outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte are the new leaders of the Philippines, an alliance that ushers in six years of governance that has some human rights activists concerned about the course their country may take with the pair in power.
Here is a look at the new president and vice president of the Philippines, who ran in separate races for their posts.
FERDINAND MARCOS JR.
A former provincial governor, congressman and senator, the 64-year-old son who goes by his childhood nickname “Bongbong” has managed to return his family to the presidency 36 years after the “People Power” revolt ousted his father and sent him into exile for filching billions and mass human rights abuses.
His mother, Imelda Marcos, twice unsuccessfully attempted to retake the seat of power after returning with her children to the Philippines from exile in the United States, where her husband died in 1989.
Marcos Jr. has defended his father’s legacy and steadfastly refuses to apologize for or acknowledge the atrocities and plunder during the dictatorship. Married to a lawyer, with whom he has three sons, he has stayed away from controversies, including a past tax conviction and the Marcos family’s refusal to pay a huge estate tax. Throughout his campaign, he tenaciously stuck to a battle cry of national unity. He denies accusations that he financed a yearslong social media campaign that harnessed online trolls to smear opponents and whitewash the Marcos family’s checkered history, daring critics to “show me one.”
SARA DUTERTE
Sara Duterte, 43, is the outgoing mayor of Davao City, which was her father's constituency before he was elected president in 2016.
A lawyer and reserve officer in the Philippine army, Duterte has carved out her own political career and, although at times supportive of her father, is considered more levelheaded and pragmatic.
Duterte's party originally wanted her to succeed him, but she chose instead to run for vice-president.
A mother of three, she has been the longtime mayor of Davao, an economically vibrant city where the elder Duterte first carved a political name with his populist rhetoric and often bloody approach against criminality, especially the widespread trafficking and use of illegal drugs, before he rose to the presidency in 2016. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Marcos-Duterte-new-Philippines-president-and-17161497.php | 2022-05-10T12:06:38Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Marcos-Duterte-new-Philippines-president-and-17161497.php | true | 28 |

Jethro Lazenby died aged 32 on Friday at the Coburg Motor Inn in Melbourne's north, barely two months after violently assaulting his mother over an argument about cigarettes.
He had been staying at the three-star motel after being released on bail, with pictures of the accomodation showing a seedy pool, graffiti on walls and filthy appliances.

The rooms feature free internet and television - but previous guests have posted a series of negative reviews for the hotel
One guest posted a picture of the hotel's pool which appeared uncleaned and even had graffiti
The Coburg Motor Inn features free parking, internet and TV, while offering short walks to desireable parts of the Victorian capital.
However, previous guests have posted several negative reviews warning people not to stay at the hotel.
'Is there any way to tap zero circle for rate? Don't come here!' one man wrote.
'Terrible hotel, don't stay here,' another posted on a review website.
A guest from New Zealand said: 'This is the worst experience I have had with motels'.
A homeless man who spent a night at the hotel just last week gave it a one-star review and said he would have preferred to sleep on the streets.
'I stayed one night and left. It was filthy, unhygienic, not safe at all full of junkies and alcoholics. The streets are a better place to sleep,' he wrote.

Jethro Lazenby had been reduced to stealing food from a 7-Eleven store in his tragic last months of life
The woman who raised Cave's love child has quietly mourned their son's loss with friends at a local beer hall.
On Tuesday, Lazenby's devastated mum Lee-Anne 'Beau' Lazenby joined two friends down the road from her Collingwood home, just outside of Melbourne's CBD, to remember her troubled son over a glass of red.
Ms Lazenby appeared relaxed having a quiet drink with her friends but was visibly shaken upon taking a phone call.
She declined to comment when approached by Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday afternoon.
Court documents released to Daily Mail Australia provided insight into the despair Cave's tormented son had experienced before Victoria Police detectives took him into custody.

On November 1 last year, police arrested Lazenby after he was caught shoplifting from a CBD 7-Eleven.
A desperate Lazenby had stolen a packet of chili beef jerky and a bag of Smith's chips, worth a paltry $12.50.
Later that day he was busted stealing food again, this time helping himself to two meat pies and a Smoothie.
The total of his illicit bounty cost just $11.
Lazenby would be jailed in March amid allegations he bashed his Melbourne-based former model mother after she refused to buy him a pack of smokes.

The brutal attack inside her Collingwood home had left left her bloodied and bruised.
He had already been free on bail when he assaulted his long suffering mum, who had hooked up with Cave in about 1990.
The court heard Lazenby was on bail when his mum found him on her front porch just after midnight on March 7.
Ms Lazenby made up a bed for him after he convinced her to let him stay the night.
Sources have told Daily Mail Australia Lazenby had struggled with drug addiction for most of his adult life.
The court heard his concerned mum had locked herself in her bedroom that night, but things went bad the following morning when Lazenby demanded she go and buy him cigarettes.
'While standing in front of the victim, the accused has then reached forward and grabbed both the victim's shoulders with his hands,' a police summary read.
'He lunged forward and kneed the victim to the face and nose, causing bleeding and bruising.'
His terrified mum ran to a nearby pub and called police upon him leaving her home.
Lazenby, who had been held within Melbourne's notorious Melbourne Remand Centre, was granted bail on the condition he undergo substance abuse treatment and avoid contact with his mum for two years.
'I do say to you that it's entirely in your best interests to participate with all support services that I've set-up for you,' Magistrate Donna Bakos told him.
'It's very very important that your path to rehabilitation will be a much more positive one and therefore you will be less of a risk to the community at large and in particular to your mother.'

Lazenby had previously spoken about his tough upbringing on the streets of Collingwood. Pictured above towards the end o his life.
In a deal with prosecutors, Lazenby pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful assault and breaching court orders.
He was due to front court again to face sentence on June 29, but had a series of other matters listed on the court system at the time of his death.
Lazenby had the world at his feet in the early 2000s when he managed to score some top modelling jobs on the back of his famous father's name.
He opened the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week in Sydney in April 2006 when he was just 15-years of age.
Lazenby had been caught stealing food from a 7-eleven in Melbourne's CBD
Once a high profile catwalk model, Lazenby descended into Melbourne's gritty drug culture
He had debuted a year earlier in his hometown of Melbourne at at Melbourne Fashion Week.
By 2009 Lazenby had made waves across the ocean in Paris and Milan and appeared destined for greatness.
'The scion of legendary rocker Nick Cave surfaced on the scene last year with an impossible-to-miss look — namely, his half-shaved/half-long-locked coif that mimics it-girl Alice Dellal,' fashion mags wrote about him.
In 2012, Lazenby, then aged 19, spoke of his rough life growing up without a father, whom he only met at age 7.
'I haven't had the easiest life,' he told the Evening Standard then. 'It didn't start off that great, having all this shit with my dad and being in his shadow.'
It was the same year Myer dumped him from its fashion show due to his 'erratic behaviour' at a rehearsal.
In the years that followed, Lazenby dropped off the fashion world's radar as he sank into the grime of Melbourne's grubby drug culture.
Lazenby is expected to be farewelled in a private ceremony over the coming weeks.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Coburg Motor Inn for comment.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Tuesday asked the Centre to apprise it about the views on the issue of protection of interest of citizens till the colonial-era penal law on sedition is reconsidered by an appropriate forum.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana took note of the submissions of the Centre that said it has decided to “re-examine and reconsider” the sedition law by an appropriate forum and sought the response to a suggestion whether the filing of sedition cases in future be kept at abeyance till re-examination.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said that he would take instruction from the government and apprise the bench on Wednesday.
We are making it very clear. We want instructions. We will give you time till tomorrow. Our specific queries are: one about pending cases and the second, as to how the government will take care of future cases…, said the bench.
It sought a response on the issue saying if future cases can be kept at abeyance till reconsideration is over.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs in an affidavit filed before the apex court on Tuesday said the decision was in tune with the views of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on shedding colonial baggage, noting he has been in favour of the protection of civil liberties and respect of human rights and in that spirit, over 1,500 outdated laws and over 25,000 compliance burdens have been scrapped.
The top court has been hearing a clutch of pleas challenging the validity of the law on sedition which has been under intense public scrutiny for its alleged misuse to settle political scores by various governments. | https://www.siasat.com/sc-seeks-centres-reply-on-protecting-citizens-from-sedition-cases-till-it-re-examines-law-2324267/ | 2022-05-10T12:10:29Z | https://www.siasat.com/sc-seeks-centres-reply-on-protecting-citizens-from-sedition-cases-till-it-re-examines-law-2324267/ | true | 8 |

As Nigeria prepares for the 2023 general elections, the tendency for responsible agents of government to shift focus from governance to politics is a possibility. Currently, the political tempo of who become the next president and the process of selecting the candidates has taken over the discourse. Little attention is being paid to the implementation of the 2022 budget and the state of the economy. From the guideline of INEC, the parties have up till the second quarter of the year to conclude the process of selecting their respective candidates. Thereafter parties are expected to commence high politicking, including amassment of funds for campaign activities. Historically, pre-election years have been mismanaged by presiding governments to the point of affecting governance and service delivery. During this period, provisions of the Fiscal Responsibility Act are also prone to violation. The Fiscal Responsibility Act, which sets the pace for prudent management of the Nations resources, ensure long term macro-economic stability of the national Economy, secure greater accountability and transparency in Fiscal operations within the Medium Term Fiscal Policy Framework, and the establishment of the Fiscal responsibility Commission to ensure the promotion and enforcement of the Nation’s Economic objectives; and for related matters can be subject to abuse. For instance, there are usual delays on the implementation of the budget during this period. Recall, that the budget was signed by the President early January 2022, the early signing should have been a good reason to attain the macro-economic targets set for the first quarter implementation of the budget. The Fiscal Responsibility Act, in S. 30 provides that the Minister of Finance, through the Budget Office of the Federation, monitor and evaluate the implementation of the Annual Budget, assess the attainment of fiscal targets and report thereon on a quarterly basis to the Fiscal Responsibility Council and the Joint Finance Committee of the national Assembly. Sub section (2) also states that the Minister of Finance shall, cause the report prepared pursuant to subsection (1) of this section to be published in the mass and electronic media and on the Ministry of Finance website, not later than 30 days after the end of each quarter. However as at the time of writing this article, there is no evidence from the website of the budget office or ministry of finance on the budget implementation. The BoF do not have budget implementation report for the last quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. This could imply a possible delay in budget performance for the last two quarters. Another disruption that might be occasioned by electioneering activities is the late preparation of the Medium Term Expenditure Frame Work and the passage of the 2023 budget. S. 14 of the FRA provides the time Limit for presentation of Medium term Expenditure Framework to Federal Executive Council, S.14 (1) states that; The Minister shall before the end of the second quarter of each financial year, present the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework to the Federal Executive Council for consideration and endorsement. (2) The Medium –Term Expenditure Framework as endorsed by the Federal Executive Council shall take effect upon approval by a resolution of each of the National Assembly. From the provision, the timeline for the preparation of the MTEF is June, this is also the period parties are expected to conclude and submit names of its presidential candidates to INEC. With the refusal of current serving ministers vying for political offices to resign their positions to avoid interference with their duties, the MTEF might experience delay or may not receive qualitative input from the affected ministries. On borrowing, the FG plans to borrow to finance the N6.258trn 2022 budget deficit. The FRA makes it mandatory for borrowing to be utilized only for capital projects, but with the spate of political activities ongoing and little attention to governance, borrowed sums might be diverted for political purposes thereby increasing the inflation figure which is already at 15%. In the same vein, it has been previously observed that most MDAs channel their unspent funds to the campaign activities of their preferred political parties and candidates. This is in violation of the Fiscal Responsibility Act which mandates the MDAs to return such funds to the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Also most members of the legislature, who are meant to play oversight role on the implementation of the budget, are also gearing up to return back to the legislative chambers and may not dedicate time for such important role. In the light of this, it is my opinion that, the Fiscal Responsibility Commission takes note of the red flags highlighted in this article and work with necessary agencies of government to forestall the violations of the Act. The Fiscal Responsibility Commission should scrutinize the financial inflows and activities of government owned enterprises to ensure that it doesn’t divert the remittances of its operating surpluses to the CRF for political activities. The exercise of the powers and functions of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission is mostly required at the stage so as to protect the interest of the masses and avert the possibility of economic sabotage in the wake of elections.

At least 100 civilians still in Ukrainian city of Mariupol's steel works: mayor's aide
>> Reuters
Published: 10 May 2022 03:59 PM BdST Updated: 10 May 2022 03:59 PM BdST
At least 100 civilians remain in a steel works that is under heavy Russian fire in the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, an aide to the city's mayor said on Tuesday.
Mariupol has endured the most destructive fighting of the war in Ukraine. The Azovstal steel plant is the last part of the city still in the hands of Ukrainian fighters.
Ukraine had previously indicated that all civilians had left Azovstal, and Russia has said the evacuation of civilians from the plant is complete.
"In addition to the military, at least 100 civilians remain in the (Azovstal) shelters. However, this does not reduce the density of attacks by the occupiers," Mariupol mayoral aide Petro Andryushchenko wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Russia did not immediately comment on his remarks, Reuters was unable to verify the situation at the sprawling plant.

Holland businesses prepare for Tulip Time boost in business
While it's the blooming season for millions of beautiful buds in Holland, barley is going to good use at Big Lake Brewing as beer makers, like many Holland businesses, prepare for a flood of customers.
“It’s one of our busiest weeks of the year,” Big Lake Brewing General Manager Jeff Genova said.
Half a million people are expected to visit the lakeshore for this year’s Tulip Time Festival, a far cry from what has been seen in the past few years.
Tulip Time brings boom for businesses“In the early days of this pandemic, we had to ask people not to come,” chief operating officer for the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce Jodi Owczarski said. “And even though tulips are still blooming, it just wasn’t safe to have a lot of visitors here."
This year, it’s no holds back with parades, dutch dancers, tours and so much more. And with all the crowds coming to see these colorful flowers, also comes a lot of green.
$41 million comes back into our local economy as a direct impact from Tulip Time from just two weeks,” Owczarski said.
That business is welcomed news for downtown Holland businesses like Peachwave which relies heavily on revenue made during the festival.
“So annually, Tulip Time is going to hit somewhere around 7% of our sales over just an eight-day period,” Peachwave Owner Boyd Feltman said. “So for us, you know, we're looking at 300 to 400% increase in traffic.”
That flood of customers over eight days allows Feltman to give the frozen yogurt spot a facelift that lasts year-round.
“From things like furniture, improvements at painting, thinking about inventory, maintenance and repairs of the place in general,” Feltman said.
Like Peachwave, Big Lake Brewing also relies on Tulip Time for a boost in sales.
“We almost doubled our sales from what we're doing in the first three months of the year,” Genova said.
Another addition that likely will have an economic impact on downtown business during Tulip Time? This year’s social district.
“It allows someone to get a drink here, they like to walk around on the sidewalks downtown and go to Waverly Stone and get a different drink or put their name in on the waitlist,” Genova Said.
So while thousands of flowers are about to be on display, the city of Holland hopes visitors will enjoy all this city has to offer. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2594086480969/holland-businesses-prepare-for-tulip-time-boost-in-business | 2022-05-10T12:21:13Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2594086480969/holland-businesses-prepare-for-tulip-time-boost-in-business | false | 2 |
The weather is brightening up and while the dryer conditions might inspire some to cut their grass, others are tempted to let it grow for No Mow May.
This is an international move towards letting lawns get a little bit wilder to benefit plants and wildlife.
People are encouraged to leave the lawnmower in the shed for May and to mow less and at different lengths and frequencies through the summer to create a mosaic of habitats that benefit wildflowers, bees and other insects.
Mowing less can encourage pollen and nectar-rich wildflowers in a lawn.
The All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, Pollinators.ie, is asking everyone to skip cutting their grass this month: "Simply letting the grass grow helps wildflowers such as clover, which are a vital food source for our struggling wild pollinators. No seeds needed. Take part in #NoMowMay and see what appears!"
This All-Ireland Pollinator Plan is implemented by the National Biodiversity Data Centre which pointed out that "one-third of our wild bees is under threat due to a loss of habitat that provides them with food and shelter".
Cork City Council has set aside specific areas within a number of parks as no-mow areas: Lee Fields; Mahon Walkway; Murphys Farm; The Glen Amenity Park; Military Cemetery Park on Assumption Road; Tramore Valley Park and the South Ring Road median. And a spokesman said they are adding further areas this year.
"As additional measures, we have placed 'bug hotels' in Fitzgerald’s Park, Pophams Road, and Shalom Park with others in the next few weeks to be installed in Douglas Park, the Marina Park and at Murphy’s Farm."
The City Council spokesman added: "We have worked with Green Spaces For Health to help establish Parks Community Gardens within Clashduv Park Togher, Murphy’s Farm Bishopstown (with Bishopstown Tidy Towns as well) Ballinlough Park — and soon Douglas Park — which have proved to be extremely popular."
"We will also have nearly 100 pollinator-friendly planters across the city centre and herbaceous planting schemes in the suburbs. This year as a new initiative, we will not be using herbicides for general weed control in any of our Parks or Cemeteries." | https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outdoors/arid-40866461.html | 2022-05-10T12:22:40Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outdoors/arid-40866461.html | false | 2 |

LAVAL, Que. - Bausch Health Companies Inc. reported a loss of US$69 million in its latest quarter compared with a loss of US$610 million a year earlier when it took a goodwill impairment charge in its Ortho Dermatologics business.
The company, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, says the loss amounted to 19 cents per share for the quarter ended March 31 compared with a loss of US$1.71 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2021.
Revenue for the quarter totalled US$1.92 billion, down from US$2.03 billion in the same quarter last year.

Tesla chief Elon Musk Twitter remark stirs speculation of India visit
NEW DELHI: The speculations of Tesla chief Elon Musk visiting India in near future gained traction after his Twitter remark post got viral.
The world’s richest man Elon Musk on Monday expressed his fondness for Indian architecture in a Twitter reply to History Defined that had posted a beautiful facade detail of the Red Fort.
“It’s amazing. I visited in 2007 and also saw the Taj Mahal, which truly is a wonder of the world,” tweeted Musk.
Earlier, History Defined claimed to show a facade from a fort in Agra. “Amazing facade detail of the Red Fort in Agra, India,” tweeted History Defined.
Agra Fort, also known as “Laal Qila”, is located in Agra, India. It is tagged as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1983. It was designed and built by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar in the year 1565 AD. Agra was the capital of India in ancient times. This glorious fort is built alongside the Yamuna River.
Musk has become a hotcake after he took control of Twitter in a USD 44 million deal. His Twitter remark led several Indian Twitter users to respond to Musk’s tweet, asking, “Any plans to visit India soon?”
One of the users Ajith Shan tweeted, “Any near time plan to visit India again? Let’s make an itinerary for his next visit in this tread…haha.”
While another Twitter user Umashankar Singh in a friendly banter said “Now please do not think of buying it.” Earlier, Adar Poonawalla, the CEO of Serum Institute of India, advised Musk to invest in India for high-quality, large-scale manufacturing of Tesla cars.
Taking to Twitter, Adar Poonawalla asked Elon Musk to invest in India if he ended up not buying Twitter. He assured Musk that it would be the best investment the richest person in the world would ever make.
“Hey @elonmusk just in case you don’t end up buying @Twitter, do look at investing some of that capital in INDIA for high-quality large-scale manufacturing of @Tesla cars. I assure you this will be the best investment you’ll ever make,” tweeted Poonawalla.

WATERLOO, Ontario (StudyFinds.org) – If you’re currently taking a diuretic and a renin-angiotensin system (RSA) inhibitor for hypertension, researchers from the University of Waterloo warn that taking ibuprofen could be a very harmful combination. Scientists report combining the three drugs can result in acute kidney injury among certain medical profiles. In some cases, these kidney injuries can be permanent.
Available under a wide variety of pharmaceutical brand names, diuretics and RSA inhibitors are routinely prescribed together to help treat high blood pressure. Ibuprofen, on the other hand, is a widely available over-the-counter painkiller.
Researchers used a series of computer-simulated drug trials to reach these conclusions. This strategy allowed them to model the interactions between the three drugs, as well as any impact on the kidneys.
“It’s not that everyone who happens to take this combination of drugs is going to have problems,” says Anita Layton, professor of applied mathematics at Waterloo and Canada 150 Research Chair in mathematical biology and medicine, in a university release. “But the research shows it’s enough of a problem that you should exercise caution.”
Dehydration plays a major role in kidney damage
Human clinical trials can take months or longer to produce results. Computer-simulated drug trials, however, are much faster. So, Prof. Layton and her team use their expertise in math and computer science to create computer-simulated drug trials, affording medical practitioners a much earlier indication of any potential drug interaction problems.
This time around, their findings apply directly to many, many people currently taking drugs for their blood pressure. Such individuals may take an ibuprofen and have no idea they are putting their kidneys at risk.
“Diuretics are a family of drugs that make the body hold less water,” Prof. Layton concludes. “Being dehydrated is a major factor in acute kidney injury, and then the RAS inhibitor and ibuprofen hit the kidney with this triple whammy. If you happen to be on these hypertension drugs and need a painkiller, consider acetaminophen instead.”

Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE), a data-driven healthcare accreditor, today announced a strategic partnership with Centene Corporation (NYSE:CNC, Financial) that will research and advance continuous improvement in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) treatment delivery and support access to quality services for people on the autism spectrum and related developmental disabilities.
This partnership brings together BHCOE’s quality measurement expertise as the international standards developer and accreditor for ABA therapy organizations with Centene’s commitment to delivering integrated, high-quality, and cost-effective services for some of the nation’s most vulnerable populations.
This research collaboration will help better assess treatment outcomes and quality of care through formalized measurements of ABA services. These measures will allow benchmarking of national healthcare quality standards for behavioral health that aim to improve quality and efficiency. They will also be foundational in delivering ABA services within a value-based care framework.
This partnership comes at a critical time for ensuring access to quality ABA services. Recent findings from the CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network found a higher prevalence of autism in children than ever before. In its latest report, the CDC states an estimated 18% increase in children identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from 2016 to 2018. As ABA represents more than half of all healthcare services that individuals on the autism spectrum receive, these measures are urgently needed to develop accessible, comprehensive ABA solutions that meet member needs while assuring quality care.
“The CDC’s report on ASD prevalence is a call-to-action to the autism community to scale and adapt so it can responsibly build access to quality services now,” said Sara Gershfeld Litvak, BHCOE’s Chief Executive Officer. “The best way to do that is by adopting evidence and quality-based clinical standards for ABA that are quantifiable, demonstrate the beneficial outcomes of services received, and expand access by aligning care with value-driven reimbursement systems. BHCOE has created those measurable standards and our agreement with Centene represents our continued commitment to ensuring that families’ needs are met with quality services.”
“Centene shares a common goal with BHCOE to ensure access to equitable, high-quality ABA services for those with ASD,” said Dr. Indira Paharia, Chief Operating Officer of Behavioral Health for Centene. “ABA is a growing need for the populations we serve, and this collaboration supports our commitment to ensure the highest quality standards using evidenced-based best practices that support our providers in delivering the best care to our members.”

Market experts believe there are some decent investment opportunities in the chemicals and fertiliser space after UPL Ltd and Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (GNFC) posted robust numbers for the March quarter.
They say the markets were not expecting a better-than-estimated show by the chemical and fertiliser players, and the numbers were not fully factored in. Thus, there was some bit of a surprise, which was visible from the upward movement in the firms’ stocks. The demand outlook by both – GNFC and UPL – was also encouraging, boosting investor sentiment for the entire sector.
GNFC, which says it gets 70 percent revenue from chemicals and 30 percent from fertilisers, reported a 60 percent year-on-year jump in consolidated revenue to Rs 2,771.71 crore, while net profit more than doubled year-on-year to Rs 643.26 crore in the quarter ended March 2022. Reacting to this, shares of GNFC surged about 12 percent on BSE on May 10.
GNFC stock has gained after two days of consecutive losses and touched an intraday high of Rs 846.3, up 12 percent on BSE today. (Source: BSE website)
“Demand from major end-user industries, namely automotive, sealants, adhesives, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, appears to be strong, which has pushed product prices in the chemicals business higher,” said Awanish Chandra, head of institutional equities, SMIFS.
Further, the rise in prices of Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI), which contributes 30-35 percent to the company’s EBITDA in the chemicals business, helped boost GNFC profit. “The company commands about 40 percent market share in TDI space in India,” Chandra said.
In the fertiliser space, raw material procurement might be a challenge owing to freight and global supply-chain issues since GNFC imports raw materials like rock phosphate from countries such as Russia, Indonesia, and Morocco. “But considering the rise in prices of various complex fertilisers, a decent profit has been generated from the finished products,” said Aditya Khetan, chemical analyst, SMIFS.
Pankaj Joshi, managing director at GNFC, told CNBC-TV18 that the timely release of fertiliser subsidy by the government helped agrochemical firms.
UPL also reported higher-than-expected profit after tax and revenue on a consolidated basis. The agrochemicals company’s scrip was up about 2 percent on BSE on May 10.
UPL's stock has gained after four days of consecutive losses and has touched an intraday high of Rs 800.35, up 3 percent on BSE today. (Source: BSE website)
“There are mindless opportunities in the agrochemicals space,” said Himanshu Binani, research analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher. He believes UPL, Sumitomo Chemical, and Rallis India are better placed for one to take advantage of the uptrend in agrochemical stocks.
According to Binani, earnings optimism for agrochemical players might not fade away anytime soon, led by remunerative crop prices – provided the monsoon is normal.
UPL also said that the demand outlook continues to be constructively supported by strong agri-commodity prices. After the results, CEO Jai Shroff told CNBC-TV18 that the company chose to prudently invest despite challenges.
Chemical and fertiliser stocks such as UPL, Tata Chemicals, Sumitomo Chemical, Deepak Fertilizers, and GNFC have risen 7-88 percent in the past year.
Kkunal Parar, vice-president of research at Choice Broking, said GNFC looks good on the chart and a 9-20 percent upmove in the stock is highly likely from the current level. Besides GNFC, Tata Chemicals and Sumitomo Chemicals could witness a 14 percent spurt in the stock price, he added. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/surprising-numbers-from-upl-gspl-may-raise-agrochem-stocks-share-in-investment-baskets-13433842.htm | 2022-05-10T12:32:16Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/surprising-numbers-from-upl-gspl-may-raise-agrochem-stocks-share-in-investment-baskets-13433842.htm | false | 2 |
The Best Anti-Aging Hand And Body Creams With Retinol
Even those devoted to taking meticulous care of their skin have been known to neglect the rest of their body. But skin care should not stop at the neck. Our whole bodies are covered in skin, and it deserves just as much TLC as the face. The skin on our body ages, too — loss of collagen and elasticity, dry skin, sun damage and more can cause issues like rough texture, wrinkles, discoloration, saggy skin and sun damage.
Investing in high quality body moisturizers can be a bit of a drag, especially when most of our bodies are covered in clothing. But taking the time to nourish your arms, legs, torso and hands with yummy creams that are loaded with powerful active ingredients is a great way to indulge in self-care that not only feels and looks good, but supports overall skin health.
We all know that using active ingredients like retinols and antioxidants can work wonders in anti-aging face creams , so why stop there? As dermatologist Dr. Y. Claire Chang has told HuffPost , “Retinol creams can help increase epidermal thickening, promote collagen synthesis and decrease collagen breakdown in photo-aged skin. By doing so, retinols can help prevent and soften wrinkles, smooth uneven skin texture and improve skin complexion.”
Using body and hand creams that are infused with retinol can have the same lovely benefits as face creams, and are great for anyone looking to elevate their body care regimen. The combination of hydrating ingredients with retinol and antioxidants strengthens, protects and repairs skin, and people can often see results quickly. As always, it’s imperative to be on top of your sunscreen and SPF game when using active ingredients on your body, as retinol can make your skin even more susceptible to the sun’s damaging rays.
Below we’ve rounded up some of the best, highly rated hand and body creams with retinol at a range of price points, starting at just $15.99. Keep reading and pick one up to pamper your hardworking body.

Kate Middleton's latest style choices have shown her to become more "confident" and cemented her status as "the new Diana", a royal expert says.
The 40 year old presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design to Saul Nash in London last week, stunning in a green Edeline Lee dress.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe has told OK! how he feels the Duchess of Cambridge's recent fashion choices have shown a "coming of age" for her.
He said: "When I saw the photos, I was reminded that Kate has very much become the new Diana when it comes to the style stakes.

"She was there to give out an award for fashion design, and dominated the headlines with what some might see as a fairly conservative choice of outfit.
"We shouldn’t forget that it was Kate’s sense of fashion and style that first helped catch Prince William’s eye when she wore that see-through outfit at a charity fashion show, with him, apparently, watching with his jaw on the floor."
Duncan continued: "What you can say about this dress – and the catalogue of outfits we have seen Kate wearing in the past year – is that it shows just how confident she is becoming, and she seems to look elegant in just about anything. I think this is all part of a coming of age for the duchess.
"After the pandemic, combined with the behaviour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, we’ve really seen Kate up her game. She’s turned 40, celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary and she has three beautiful children, who she loves sharing images of. We’ve seen her talk more about her family and give us a glimpse behind the scenes of what life is like at home.
"We think of her outfits at the Christmas carol service, the Earthshot Prize, the No Time To Die premiere – at which she was only overshadowed by William dressed as James Bond himself. The only royal you could possibly compare her to in that respect, given the past year and a half or so, is Princess Diana," he added.
"The other royals always look nice, and once in a while Zara Tindall or Beatrice and Eugenie may shine, but Kate is an icon now.

"Her children George, Charlotte and Louis are growing up and all now at school – and she may well be on the verge of quitting London for the shires. For some time the duchess has felt “like a bird in a cage” in the Kensington Palace apartment, I am told.
"The outdoor-loving woman who grew up in Berkshire is actively searching for homes in the county, with William by her side.
"Does she have the same clout as Diana? Well, you only have to look at the sales figures for all the outfits she has worn – they have skyrocketed. The minute Kate wears an off-the-peg dress it sells out, and that reminds us of the Diana effect."
Duncan also added how, despite her royal status and access to high-priced designer clothes, Kate has made the conscious decision to keep her fashion choices relatively affordable.
He said: "I think the labels of her fashion choices say as much about Kate as the colour of them. Over the years, we’ve seen her wear £19.99 high street dresses, but we’ve also seen her wear glamorous gowns for state occasions. What Kate hasn’t done, as far as I can remember, is go nuclear with the prices.
"When Meghan announced her engagement to Harry, she wore a £56,000 dress. But Kate has adopted the mantra that the dress needs to suit the occasion. Her green Edeline Lee dress cost £785 which, to a lot of people, is a lot of money, but to a future queen with a wardrobe of priceless jewellery and family heirlooms – it’s nothing."

Global stocks recover slightly, but fears persist
US stock futures point to further gains on Wall Street, with S&P 500 futures up about 1% and Nasdaq futures adding 1.5%
London — European stock indices rose on Tuesday as risk appetite showed some signs of picking up again after Monday’s sharp falls, but concerns about economic growth still weighed on markets, pushing oil prices lower.
Asian equities slipped to their lowest in nearly two years overnight, before trimming losses.
A tumble in stock markets so far this month is attributed to a combination of monetary tightening by major central banks and a slowdown in economic growth.
Last week central banks in the US, Britain and Australia raised interest rates and investors girded for more tightening as policymakers fight soaring inflation.
Though these drivers persisted on Tuesday, markets saw a slight recovery, which US stock futures suggested would continue through to Wall Street’s open. S&P 500 futures were up about 1% while Nasdaq futures rose 1.5%.
At 10.35am GMT, the MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 50 countries, was up 0.1%, having touched its lowest since late 2020 earlier in the session.
Europe’s Stoxx 600 was up 1.2%, but the gain was still small relative to its 6.3% loss so far in May.
Peter McCallum, interest rates strategist at Mizuho, said the bounce was a natural correction after the previous session’s falls. Traders could also be positioning themselves to take advantage of any boost to sentiment coming from Wednesday’s key US consumer price index data, he said.
“If headline inflation comes in and shows that month-on-month CPI is heading in the right direction then that makes the case for potentially a more dovish Fed and hikes being priced out,” McCallum said.
The dollar index was little changed after reaching a 20-year high on Monday. Meanwhile, the Australian dollar fell to its lowest in nearly two years overnight, hurt by fears of slowing economic growth, but recovered during European trading hours.
China’s export growth slowed to its weakest in almost two years, data showed, as the central bank pledged to step up support for the slowing economy.
Oil prices fell for a second day, hurt by a combination of the stronger dollar, growing recession fears, and Covid-19 lockdowns in China.
Given concerns that Russia could cut off gas flows to Europe, German officials are preparing an emergency package that could include taking control of critical firms.
EU members could reach a deal this week on the EU Commission’s proposal to ban all oil imports from Russia, France’s European affairs minister said.
European government bond yields fell, with the German 10-year yield down 4 basis points at 1.054%, just below an almost eight-year high.
The US 10-year yield was at 3.0223%, having eased since it hit 3.203% on Monday — a level not seen since 2018.
Elsewhere, bitcoin was up 4.4%, recovering some of its 11.6% plunge on Monday, which was its biggest daily fall since May 2021. At about $31,403, the cryptocurrency has lost more than half its value since an all-time high of $69,000 in November.

Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
May 10 (Reuters) - Pharmacy chain CVS Health Corp (CVS.N) said on Tuesday it has limited in-store and online purchases of baby formula products to three per order, citing a supply shortfall and surging consumer demand.
The move comes after Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N) recalled some of its infant formula products including Similac in February due to complaints about bacterial infections in infants who consumed the products. Abbott maintains no formula that has been distributed has tested positive for bacteria. read more
CVS said in an emailed statement it was working with its baby formula suppliers to address the shortage.
Retail chains Walmart (WMT.N), Target (TGT.N), Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA.O) and Kroger (KR.N) did not immediately respond to Reuters requests seeking comment on purchase limits.

Researchers at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Uncover the Key to Safer Energy Storage Devices
The scientists elucidate critical changes in the thermal properties of energy storage devices during operation, paving the way towards better thermal management
GWANGJU, South Korea, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Effectively managing the thermal properties of energy storage devices is the key to avoiding thermal runaway and ensuring safety. Recently, scientists from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology uncovered key changes to the thermal properties of electric double-layer capacitors during charging and discharging, which will help inform future thermal management strategies.
Modern energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries, have highly temperature-dependent performance. If a device get too hot, it become susceptible to 'thermal runaway.' Thermal runaway—or uncontrolled overheating—can ultimately result in explosions or fires. Adopting a well-informed thermal management strategy is necessary for the stable and safe operation of devices. To do this, it is important to understand how certain thermal properties, like heat capacity (Cp), dynamically change during charging and discharging.
Recently, researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology investigated the thermal properties of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs)—a type of supercapacitor having high power and long life—for a technical foundation in thermal measurement and revealed significant information. "Using the 3ω hot-wire method, we were able to measure the change in heat capacity of EDLCs in real-time in a microscopic electrode-electrolyte volume, which is an active site for the adsorption and desorption of ions," explains Prof. Jae Hun Seol, who led the study. The study was made available online on 5 February 2022 and will be published in Volume 188, Issue 122632 of International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer on 1 June 2022.
The research team conducted experiments both in situ (under static conditions) and operando (during charging). They found that the temperatures of the positive and negative electrodes changed by 0.92% and 0.42% during charging, which corresponded to 9.14% and 3.91% reductions in their respective Cp. "According to thermodynamic theory, the ionic configuration entropy (a measure of randomness) of a system decreases during adsorption, i.e., charging. This also affects the free energy of the system. Together, this leads to a decrease in Cp," explains Prof. Seol.
The team also varied the concentration of the electrolyte, potassium hydroxide, to see how it affected EDLC performance. They found that the EDLC displayed maximum capacitance and Cp reduction when the electrolyte concentration was 8 M. They attributed this to variations in the degree of hydration of ions and their ionic mobility.
"An important aspect of this study is that charging and discharging also alters Cp of EDLCs," says Prof. Seol. "These findings will extend our understanding of the underlying thermal physics of EDLCs."
Indeed, these results can be considered a major step towards future effective thermal management strategies, which will create safer and more reliable energy storage devices.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)Butler coach Thad Matta landed his second big man in less than a week Monday, announcing the addition of 6-foot-11 Manny Bates from North Carolina State.
The grad transfer had 147 blocks, fourth in school history, and shot 64.7% from the field in two seasons with the Wolfpack. He played just one game last season after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in the first minute of North Carolina State’s season opener.
”Manny’s presence defensively will be incredibly impactful,” Matta said in a statement. ”He blocks and alters shots at a high level. Offensively, his size and athleticism give him the ability to score in the post, in the pick-and-roll, and in transition.”
The announcement comes just days after Matta announced that 6-10 forward Jalen Thomas would transfer to Butler from Georgia State. The Bulldogs also recently landed former Akron swingman Ali Ali and are expected to announce soon that a fourth player will transfer into the program.
Last week, Matta also hired former Ohio State stars Greg Oden and Jon Diebler to his staff.
Oden, the IndyStar Mr. Basketball in 2006 and No. 1 overall draft pick in 2007, will serve as director of basketball operations. Diebler will be director of recruiting.
”Both possess great energy and strong basketball knowledge,” Matta said. ”They will relate well to our players and will help them grow on and off the court. I was excited years ago when they committed to be part of my program as players, and I’m just as excited they are joining my staff.”

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 10, 2022) - PORTOFINO RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: POR) (OTCQB: PFFOF) (FSE: POTA) ("Portofino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Prospectair Geosurveys to complete a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetometer geophysical survey on the Allison Lake North property (the "Property"). The support crew has been mobilized and the survey is underway. The program comprises approximately 406 line-kilometers of airborne geophysical surveys with GPS controlled, 50-meter line separations in order to achieve quality definition of geological units and their structures. The objective of the survey is to identify structural weaknesses in the Allison Batholith that could potentially contain lithium bearing pegmatites. The resultant magnetic features will aid in the next phase of vectoring on the ground prospecting and mapping of those targets of high merit when combined with Portofino's recent mapping and sampling programs.
Portofino's CEO, David Tafel, comments; "The Allison Lake area is attracting significant exploration groups and expenditures and we are fortunate to be positioned in the middle of this fully staked, multi-company, battery mineral exploration region. We anticipate results of the airborne survey to be instrumental in guiding a 2nd stage follow on to our 2021 channel and grab sampling program which returned values that included up to 412 ppm Lithium and 1040 ppm Rubidium."
Mr. Tafel comments further; "The 2nd half of 2022 is ramping up to become a very exciting and active lithium exploration period for Portofino in northern Ontario, as well as in northern Argentina. We expect drilling to commence on our 100% controlled, Yergo project in Catamarca and field work will be initiated in neighbouring Salta province upon execution of a definitive agreement with the provincial resource entity (REMSA) enabling the Company to earn a majority interest in multiple lithium brine projects situated within the heart of the world-renown Lithium Triangle."
Acquisition of additional claims
The Company also announces it has added to its Allison Lake North land package by acquiring 3 additional claims (33 cells). (Allison Lake North Location). The new claims are located contiguous to and west of the Property and are underlain by the Jubilee Lake sediment group that are known to host rare element pegmatites.
The Allison Lake Batholith reportedly represents an important new exploration target for lithium and rare-element mineralization and is the largest such granite documented in Ontario (Ontario Geological Survey Open File Report 6099 "the OGS report"). A large area that follows the western to southwestern contact of the Batholith was identified in the OGS report as having high potential for discoveries of pegmatitic mineralization hosting lithium, beryl, tantalum, and other rare elements. The Allison Lake targets have been found to occur within the Batholith proper and also as "exocontact" metasedimentary-hosted pegmatites.
To acquire the claims, Portofino has agreed to pay $2,000, issue 200,000 shares and to grant an 1.5% Net Smelter Returns royalty (the "Royalty") to the claim holder. One-half (0.75%) of the Royalty may be repurchased at any time by Portofino for $400,000.
About The Allison Lake North Property
The Allison Lake North Property now comprises 7 claims (113 cells) totaling 2,286 hectares (ha) and is located 100 kilometers ("km") east of the town of Red Lake in northwestern Ontario. Numerous lithium deposits have been delineated in northwestern Ontario and host significant reserves of lithium oxide- Li2O. The Property is accessible by well-established logging roads and a hydro-electric power line transects the claim group. The Property contains significant attributes that are key to the formation of lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes. It is positioned along the contact between the Allison Lake pegmatite granite batholith and the Jubilee Lake metasedimentary rocks of the Uchi Subprovince in northwestern Ontario. This important contact is now fully staked and subject to active exploration by multiple companies.

New generation of budget airlines aims to disrupt flying
New airlines don't come along very often, but the pandemic provided a rare opportunity for new carriers to establish themselves in smaller markets that had been abandoned by the major airlines in recent years.
Why it matters: Startups like Breeze Airways and Avelo Airlines represent a new generation of low-frills carriers that aim to disrupt the status quo just as Jet Blue and Southwest Airlines did decades earlier.
- They're using technology as a differentiator — in addition to low fares and convenient routes.
Driving the news: Several de novo airlines were born during the pandemic, taking advantage of the near-shutdown of air travel that brought the big-name carriers to their knees not long ago.
The newcomers have grown quickly, adding new, larger planes and more nonstop routes to bigger cities:
- Breeze, which launched a year ago mostly on the East Coast, is now offering $99 one-way fares to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. And it just announced service from Westchester County Airport, a popular alternative to New York's three busy airports.
- Avelo, which started last year on the West Coast, is now adding routes such as New Haven, Conn.,-to-Orlando, Fla.
- PLAY, an Icelandic airline launched last year, is offering cheap flights to Europe, through Reykjavik, from Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Boston, New York and Orlando.
The tech angle: Breeze was the brainchild of David Neeleman — who also founded JetBlue and other airlines — and it's taking a "tech-first" approach to customer service.
- You have to book and manage your flights through an app — there is no toll-free customer service number.
- Passengers communicate with Breeze representatives solely via text, chat or Facebook messenger.
- Each service agent manages multiple text conversations at once.
- The company says this makes response times faster than they would be if passengers were holding on the telephone.
- Customers usually connect with an agent within 5 to 10 minutes, a company spokesperson says, adding that conversations are typically resolved within 20 minutes.
Yes, but: The remote encounters don't sit well with everyone, as complaints on the company's Facebook page indicate, notes USA Today.
Reality check: It wasn't easy for any of these airlines to launch during the pandemic, which effectively killed the travel industry.
- "It delayed us a good year or so, but that was the main downside," Neeleman, the CEO, tells Axios via email.
- "On the other hand, the pandemic exacerbated the reduction of airline services that secondary and tertiary markets had been experiencing for the last five years. So, if anything, it gave us more opportunities there."
The big picture: Low-cost carriers swooping in to undercut the industry leaders "is a play we’ve seen before," said Adam Gordon, managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group, who leads the firm's airline practice.
- Discount carriers take advantage of their lower cost of operations: newer planes with low maintenance requirements, lower labor rates and simple business models, for example. (Think Spirit, Allegiant and Frontier.)
- "As they mature, their labor costs tend to rise, the aircraft need more maintenance, and it all gets more complex. That creates space for new players to come in beneath them."
Flashback: JetBlue, born in February 2000, stood out for its low fares, new planes and passenger amenities like seatback screens, satellite television and free Wi-Fi.
- Other airlines were forced to respond by adding similar amenities. Many also adopted the tiered pricing structure for economy seats that discount airlines pioneered. | https://www.axios.com/2022/05/10/new-generation-of-budget-airlines-aims-to-disrupt-flying | 2022-05-10T12:58:14Z | https://www.axios.com/2022/05/10/new-generation-of-budget-airlines-aims-to-disrupt-flying | true | 1 |
