A fire spread from a burning semi to start a wildfire in Fountain Tuesday morning.
As of about 4:30 a.m., the wildfire, which is on Fort Carson property adjacent to Interstate 25 at Mesa Ridge Drive, was about an acre in size, according to the Fountain Police Department.
The on-ramp to southbound I-25 is closed.
The fire started after a crash involving a semi. The semi caught fire and the blaze spread into a woodland area between I-25 and the frontage road, police said.
The truck fire was extinguished just after 4 a.m., according to police. The driver sustained minor injuries. | https://gazette.com/news/burning-semi-ignites-wildfire-near-i-25-in-fountain/article_f4c6cade-d054-11ec-9d52-effa8061ad85.html | 2022-05-10T13:00:48Z | https://gazette.com/news/burning-semi-ignites-wildfire-near-i-25-in-fountain/article_f4c6cade-d054-11ec-9d52-effa8061ad85.html | false | null |

Damascus: Brussels Conference doesn’t help Syrians, cannot restore their rights
Story Code : 993421
In a statement, carried by Syria’s official news agency SANA, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates made the comments on Monday as the sixth “Brussels Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region” is held on May 9-10.
The organizers of the so-called conference claim that it is aimed at reasserting the international community’s commitment toward Syrians and their host communities in neighboring countries and toward a negotiated political solution to the conflict.
The claim, however, is strongly refuted by Damascus, which says these conferences in their current form are held without participation of Syria itself, as the main country concerned, and that they do not agree with the principles of the UN regulating humanitarian action.
The foreign ministry added that organizing countries of such conferences and those participating in them clearly contradict their own declared goal of these conferences as those same countries are also imposing economic blockades and unilateral coercive measures on the Syrian people in an inhuman manner, which has affected even the ability to secure their basic requirements such as fuel, food and medicine.
“It is no longer a secret to anyone the extent to which the organizing countries of the conference are politicizing the issue of providing humanitarian aid and linking it to political preconditions that have nothing to do with the requirements and objectives of humanitarian act, including obstructing the reconstruction process, implementing steadfastness and early recovery projects, obstructing the return of refugees and insisting not to support them inside Syria after their return to it,” the statement added.
The ministry said the Brussels VI is so politicized that it did not invite Russia or other countries with a balanced stance to take part in the conference for purely political reasons that have nothing to do with the situation in Syria.
Before the commencement of foreign-supported militancy and terrorism in Syria, the Arab country was a self-sufficient state with high levels of economic growth and without any external debt or in need of any assistance, the statement further said. | https://www.islamtimes.org/en/news/993421/damascus-brussels-conference-doesn-t-help-syrians-cannot-restore-their-rights | 2022-05-10T13:01:26Z | https://www.islamtimes.org/en/news/993421/damascus-brussels-conference-doesn-t-help-syrians-cannot-restore-their-rights | false | 1 |
Mass seizures cause concern for chock-full Calgary Humane Society
The Calgary Humane Society is reminding citizens to get their pets spayed and neutered after a couple of mass seizures in the past two weeks that resulted in the shelter being packed with pups.
Officials say one of the seizures involved a planned litter followed by an additional unexpected litter, culminating in a "waste-covered home" and the seizure of 14 dogs.
"These recent files are a combination of accidental litters and exploitative breeding, both of which have consequences," said the humane society's Brad Nichols in a news release.
"Aside from the legal outcomes of seized pets, fines and prohibitions from owning animals – which you would hope would deter such irresponsible behaviour – there are more natural consequences of ruined residences and depleted finances."
Despite the organization's large network of foster homes, officials say they are at capacity.
"Humane societies and rescues are currently seeing a trend where shelters are full of behaviorally complex dogs, and the adoption market seems to be saturating," said a Monday news release.
Calgarians who are considering adopting or fostering a pet are encouraged to visit the Calgary Humane Society's website for more information.

Indian Army Chief General Manoj Pande will receive the Param Vishisht Seva Medal from President Ram Nath Kovind today.
Besides, Capt Ashutosh Kumar (18 Madras), Nb Subedar Sreejith M (17 Madras) Hav.Anil Tomar (44 RR), Pinku Kumar (34 RR), Kashiray Bammanalli (44RR) & Sepoy Jaswanth Reddy (17 Madras) will be awarded Shaurya Chakra (posthumously) today at the Rashtrapati Bhawan for their acts of gallantry.
General Manoj Pande took charge as the 29th Chief of the Army Staff on Saturday. He is the first officer from the Corps of Engineers to head the 1.3 million strong force.
Before taking charge as Vice Chief of the Army on February 1, Gen Pande was heading the Eastern Army Command, tasked with guarding the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors.
Gen Pande took charge of the Indian Army at a time when India is facing myriad security challenges, including along the LoC and LAC with Pakistan and China respectively. As the Army Chief, he will also have to coordinate with the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force on the government's plan to roll out theatre command. | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/army-chief-gen-pande-to-receive-param-vishisht-seva-medal-from-president-rashtrapati-bhavan-1947741-2022-05-10?utm_source=rss | 2022-05-10T13:04:12Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/army-chief-gen-pande-to-receive-param-vishisht-seva-medal-from-president-rashtrapati-bhavan-1947741-2022-05-10?utm_source=rss | false | 2 |
Cheese is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
So it can be frustrating when we’re tucking into a delicious piece, but are clueless of what it is and how we can get it.
Thankfully, a brand new AI app is on hand to help us with our cheese identifying needs.
Inspired by the popular music app Shazam, a new app called Cheezam can tell you all the information you want to know.
Users simply need to take a photo of their mystery cheese, then the app compares the snap against its database of 9,000 images of different varieties.
It does this by looking at key features, such as the size and shape of the mould, and the way any spots are arranged in the cheese.
Isabelle Mashola, the CEO of Isahit – the company that annotated thousands of cheeses for the app – explains how the algorithm works in a little more detail.
‘Let’s take a Fourme d’Ambert and a blue cheese,’ she says.
‘For the algorithm to be able to determine the photo, it must be given indications which are supplied in the form of annotations.
‘On a blue cheese for example, we will notice that the spots are arranged in such a way.
‘The algorithm will then make the effort to recognise this feature by comparing it to other pre-annotated images. And this is how we manage to refine the calculation to the right cheese.’
So for a cheese with starry greenish spots, for example, the app suggests there’s a 95% chance it’s Fourme d’Ambert, and a 5% chance it’s Bleu des Causses.
It also offers wine pairings for the variety in question – which is great if you’re hosting a cheese and wine night.
Currently, Cheezam is only available in France – so whether UK cheese lovers will soon be able to sample the app remains unclear.

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash. (AP) — A 46-year-old Mountlake Terrace man was sentenced to 23 years and two months in prison for killing a 29-year-old woman in 2018.
Prosecutors argued it was a “revenge” killing after David Nieuwenhuis blamed Candice Black for the overdose death of his stepson, who was dating Black. His attorneys claimed he was in the “fight for his life” after Black hit him with an iPad, the Everett Herald reported.
On Nov. 11, 2018, Nieuwenhuis told Black to pick up her belongings from his home, where she had been staying with his stepson, Kyle Johnson, court papers said. She took the bus from Seattle.
Nieuwenhuis said he told Black he had found evidence she had been dealing drugs with Johnson. He said he was going tell the police, according to court documents. Nieuwenhuis said that's when Black struck with him the iPad.
His attorneys argued he acted in self-defense when he grabbed a maple stick from behind his front door and hit Black with it. The two ended up outside. Nieuwenhuis left Black out there, went back and fell asleep, court documents said.
Hours later, he called 911. He said Black was lying in the driveway and he may have killed her. At trial, a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Mountlake-Terrace-man-sentenced-to-23-years-in-17161637.php | 2022-05-10T13:05:31Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Mountlake-Terrace-man-sentenced-to-23-years-in-17161637.php | false | 16 |
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has urged plastic manufacturers to learn from the pharmaceutical and automobile industry’s experiences in ensuring ready availability of raw materials to support India’s attempts at boosting production of microprocessors and semiconductors.
Emphasizing the need to ensure “backward and forward linkages”, the Finance Minister warned the industry about making the mistake of relying on raw material imports.
“We have come to witness a great deal of discourse and activity of late in fab production and chip production, we are seeing new investments come into this space,” Sitharaman said while addressing a stakeholders’ outreach programme in Tamil Nadu,
“However, we need to ask ourselves the question — are we prepared with the critical raw material to bring in such business? Fab manufacturers are setting up shop, but do we have the raw material to support them? Or will we end up relying on raw material imports?,” she added.
Also Read:
Citing the historic example of Indian pharma, Sitharaman called on manufacturers to learn from mistakes committed in letting overseas suppliers enjoy monopoly and thus play the deciding role in fixing raw material prices. Without naming China, the FM emphasized on how Chinese API-manufacturers have begun indirectly deciding cost of pharmaceutical production, in India.
“Take the example of the pharmaceutical industry — whatever drug you need to manufacture needs to have active pharmaceutical ingredients or APIs,” she said, adding, “While our country used to produce the maximum number of APIs, there was another country that came along and began manufacturing cheaper APIs and began enjoying an advantage over us.”
She said that today we depend on APIs from just one country that now has the option of whether it would like to increase prices or not. "So, a country like ours that led the world when it came to manufacturing pharmaceutical products has its cost of production dependent on what we pay for APIs from another country,” she added.
Sitharaman said she was citing the example of the pharmaceutical industry in order to remind the Indian industry that overseas investments alone would not count for much if there is no raw material integration in local supply chains. “We need to check whether our forward and backward integration is in place or whether we will be reduced to importing our raw materials from other countries.”
She added that both, the Union and various state governments were going the distance in ensuring there were no glitches in the value and supply chain of local industry, lest it go the way of the automobile industry. “Microprocessors and chips should have been here by now to meet supply chain obligations,” Sitharaman said, adding, “But the country that supplies us with these components still has lockdowns. This means we have no microprocessors even though we have ready inventory and demand, as a result of which business is suffering.” | https://www.cnbctv18.com/india/fm-nirmala-sitharaman-asks-plastic-firms-to-avoid-mistakes-of-pharma--auto-sector-by-ensuring-local-supply-chains-13436302.htm/amp | 2022-05-10T13:05:53Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/india/fm-nirmala-sitharaman-asks-plastic-firms-to-avoid-mistakes-of-pharma--auto-sector-by-ensuring-local-supply-chains-13436302.htm/amp | false | 2 |

Amy Childs is cautiously moving forward with her romance with Billy Delbosq after enduring a ‘difficult’ time together that sparked break-up rumours.
The 31-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star has been in a relationship with gym owning businessman Billy for nine months – but the romance hit a road bump in recent weeks.
Fans feared the worst when Amy inexplicably erased all trace of Billy from her social media history – prompting speculation they had thrown in the towel on their romance after less than one year.
But Amy then raised hopes that the relationship had been salvaged after she shared fresh social media content of herself and Billy enjoying champagne together at luxury London hotel Claridges.
Now a source has claimed the couple are fully back on track, with a friend telling new! magazine: “Amy hasn’t split up with Billy, but they did have a discussion to work a few things out.”
It is claimed that the couple had a wobble after Amy became distracted by big changes in her personal life.
The source claims: “They have been under a lot of pressure. Amy is in the process of selling her house and it all became too much.”
And drawing a line under the rumours of a split, the source went on to say Amy and Billy are in a very good place.
The source said: “It’s a new relationship, but they are absolutely fine now.”
Amy has previously opened up about her relationship with Billy, hinting she had fallen head over heels for him soon after they met.
She said during a recent episode of Towie: “I do rush into things, I definitely do. But I’ve got to say, I’m definitely in love with him.
“I’m just so happy. I’ve told him I’d love to marry him and he said he wants to marry me as well.”
It’s not just marriage with Billy that Amy has considered – as she confessed she can picture herself having children with him.
The mum-of-two already shares daughter Polly with her builder ex Bradley Wright, and two-year-old son Ritchie Jr with businessman ex Ritchie.
But she thinks she could have yet more children with Billy – who she met via reality show First Dates.
She said during an Instagram Stories Q&A earlier this year: “I always said I would like two and that’s it. But since meeting Billy I feel completely different – 100% in the future.”
Having babies has made Amy something of an authority on parenting – with good friend Gemma Collins recently explaining that she turned to her fellow reality star for advice.
Gem said recently: "I was with Amy Childs at the weekend and we had a friend’s wedding and she’s like a guru at how to get pregnant.
"She was telling me that there’s certain days in the month that you’ve got to do this. So I basically appointed her to be the head of my pregnancy.
"She’s told Rami what days we’ve got do it on and all that. So we’re reporting back to Amy every time we do it!"

PITTSBURGH, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC) appointed Renu Khator, Ph.D., chancellor of the University of Houston System and president of University of Houston, to its board of directors, effective today. She has also been appointed to the board's nominating and governance and audit committees.
Khator currently holds the dual titles of chancellor of the University of Houston System, and president of the University of Houston (UH). As chancellor of the UH system, she oversees a four-university organization that serves more than 76,000 students. She was the first female chancellor in the state of Texas, and the first Indian immigrant to lead a comprehensive research university in the United States. As president of the University of Houston, Khator has guided the university's transformation into a top-tier institution that has a $6.4 billion economic impact on the Greater Houston area each year.
"We are thrilled to welcome Renu as a new independent director and leverage her significant expertise in leadership, economic development, and funding research for community programs, as we continue to invest for growth," said William S. Demchak, chairman, president and chief executive officer of PNC. "Adding Renu to our board is another step in our commitment to building diverse, high-performing teams at all levels that reflect our core value of diversity and inclusion - and make our company stronger."
During Khator's tenure as president, she has led record-breaking research funding, enrollment, and private support for UH. As part of an ongoing $1 billion campus construction program, UH launched its 75-acre Technology Bridge, which is now home to several start-up companies, research enterprises and academic programs. In addition, in 2011, UH earned 'Tier One' status, with the Carnegie Foundation elevating it to the top category of research universities. Following this significant success, she led several similar achievements, including the opening of Houston's first medical school in more than 40 years, being awarded a Phi Beta Kappa honor society chapter and more than tripling the number of National Academy members on the faculty.
"Under Renu's leadership, UH has transformed into an institution recognized for its unique blend of academic accomplishment, research innovation, athletic achievement and dedication to the success of a significantly diverse, determined student body," said Tilman J. Fertitta, chairman of the UH System Board of Regents. "Each UH System university has become a change-agent in the Greater Houston region and across Texas."
Prior to her appointment at UH, Khator was provost and senior vice president at the University of South Florida. Over the course of her 22-year career at USF, she held roles of increasing importance, beginning with the position of visiting professor.
In addition to her significant academic background, Khator is on the board of the Camden Property Trust, a public real estate investment trust with over $16 billion in market cap.
She was also a member of the Indian Prime Minister's Empowered Expert Committee, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Academic Advisory Council and 11th District Chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. She is also a member of the Association of Governing Board of Colleges and Universities Council of Presidents.
She has been named to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, named Houstonian of the year, inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame and, in 2014, Indian President Pranab Mukherjee presented her with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award, the highest distinction bestowed upon a non-resident Indian.
Khator holds a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree from Kanpur University, India, as well as a master's degree and PhD in Political Science from Purdue University.

Pain at the pump: Gas prices reach new record high
(Gray News) – The national average price of gas hit a new record high Tuesday of $4.36 per gallon, rising just above the previous record set in March, according to GasBuddy.
In just the last seven days, the national average price of fuel rose over 15 cents per gallon.
Experts said they believe costs could continue to climb through Memorial Day as summer road trip season begins and oil prices remain volatile.
“There’s little, if any, good news about fuel prices heading into summer, and the problem could become worse should we see an above-average hurricane season, which could knock out refinery capacity at a time we badly need it as refined product inventories continue to plummet,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
The national average for diesel hit another record of $5.54 a gallon Monday, which is up 22 cents in a week and 49 cents in a month, according to AAA.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February sent prices surging as investors braced for oil supply disruptions caused by the war and embargoes on Russian energy.
The Biden administration responded by unleashing a record amount of oil from U.S. emergency oil stockpiles, announcing March 31 that 1 million barrels a day would be released for six months.
The ongoing effort helped cool oil and gasoline prices off for a bit, but the relief was fleeting and relatively minor.

Over the past years, Gearhart's city leadership has dragged our city through a tumultuous and prolonged debate by presenting and insisting that our city taxpayers must pay a fire station bond of $14.5 million determined by estimated costs only with no location stipulated for the new station.
To the embarrassment of Gearhart, our residents have voiced numerous and well-documented objections that have gone unanswered. Sadly, objections and arguments stipulated in the recent voters' pamphlet were left unchallenged by the city.
Unlike past fire station town hall meetings, our city's most vocal proponents have instead chosen small controllable group meetings over open town hall meetings to defend critically unanswered questions in an open forum.
Our new fire chief, who should be actively involved in the bond debate, has essentially been replaced by our city administrator, who has acted over the years as the primary fire station spokesperson, lead cost estimator, lead feasibility manager and apparently, our lead real estate and land exchange negotiator.
Our opposition group has repeatedly shown absolute support for our fire volunteers and offered a supporting compromise for a new city-centered fire station. Sadly, our City Council refused to listen.
This fire vote will be a clear expression either affirming or denying confidence in our city leaders' overall judgment in demanding a $14.5 million bond and their unwillingness to compromise. | https://www.dailyastorian.com/opinion/letters/letter-confidence-or-no-confidence/article_78114c4a-cf0e-11ec-b5c2-8b57c64bcce4.html | 2022-05-10T13:17:26Z | https://www.dailyastorian.com/opinion/letters/letter-confidence-or-no-confidence/article_78114c4a-cf0e-11ec-b5c2-8b57c64bcce4.html | false | 1 |
Syracuse, N.Y. -- A Syracuse man was charged Monday with the murder of a 22-year-old involved in a double homicide last year.
Dewayne Brown, 26, was charged with fatally shooting Winston Brown Jr, 22, on Oct. 7, 2021, according to a news release from Syracuse police Tuesday.
Winston Brown Jr. and Kei’Sean Canery, 24, were both shot in the head on Oct. 7. They both died two days later.
Winston Brown Jr. had been previously identified as the suspect in Canery’s murder.
The investigation has ruled that Winston Brown Jr. shot Canery near Oakwood Avenue and East Raynor Street, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said in January.
As Winston Brown Jr. tried to leave the area, he was shot by an unknown suspect, Fitzpatrick said at the time. The suspect has now been identified as Dewayne Brown, police said.
On Monday night, Dewayne Brown was involved in a crash in the 900 block of Midland Avenue Monday. Brown was taken into custody and officially charged with Winston Brown Jr.’s murder following the crash.
Dewayne Brown has been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, police said. He is currently being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center while he awaits arraignment.
Dewayne Brown has served time in state prison twice, according to state records:
2014: He was sent to prison for 1 to 3 years for criminal possession of a weapon. He was released in 2016.
2017: He was sent to prison for 2 to 5 years for criminal possession of a weapon. He was released in January 2020.

Provincial budgets improving, but spending falls: Desjardins
BNN Bloomberg
,Ontario sees $20B deficit in 2022/23
VIDEO SIGN OUT
A new report from Desjardins is casting a positive light on provincial budgets as the domestic economy recovers from the worst ravages of the pandemic.
In a report to clients, Randall Bartlett, senior director of Canadian economics at Desjardins, said improving economic conditions had delivered a windfall for the provinces.
“Christmas came early for the federal and provincial governments this budget season. With real GDP growth, inflation and labour market indicators topping early 2021 expectations, it came as little surprise that revenues outperformed,” he said.
“Spending also came in lower than expected, albeit more modestly, particularly in those areas most closely linked to the economy such as COVID‑19-related measures.”
Every province saw fiscal conditions improve from previous estimates, with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on track to post a surplus this fiscal year.
However, there was a divergence in spending intentions, with Ontario, B.C., Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island all planning to increase spending relative to gross domestic product compared to fiscal 2021-22.
Though spending intentions are rising in those provinces, Bartlett said that Canada remains more spendthrift than many of its developed-market peers.
“In the context of total public debt outstanding, Canada has the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. And while higher than prior to the pandemic, Canada’s total government debt position continues to compare very well to other major advanced economies,” he said.
“This was reinforced when Standard & Poor’s re-affirmed the Government of Canada’s AAA credit rating with a stable outlook at the end of April 2022.”

His administration was accused in a speech by Soviet Defence Minister Marshal Malinovsky of waging a “vicious and piratic war” against the Vietnamese people.
He was attacked in speeches at mass rallies in the capitals - and in Peking (Beijing) in a series of May Day plays he was portrayed, pale and trembling, as the nastiest character.
In Vietnam itself, 5,000 South Vietnamese workers marked May Day by a demonstration around the US Embassy in Saigon, shouting “Americans go home” and carrying slogans saying “Stop the war”.
The parades and festivities followed the usual pattern, reported the News Letter.
In Moscow there were missiles, rumbling mightily across Red Square on huge carriers, “but no new weapons were spotted among them by Western observers”.
In Peking (Beijing), red flags and bunches of flowers were waved In the rain as thousands of people took to the streets in holiday mood.
Half a million people thronged Central Warsaw for Poland’s May Day, also celebrating the nation’s millennium. A pageant displayed historical figures and costumes through 10 centuries of nationhood.
Another May Day theme this year - in Beijing - was “the struggle again revisionism” which was a blast against Russia. Beijing papers devoted columns to reports of a speech by Prime Minister Chouen-Lai when he launched the most blistering denunciation of the Kremlin leadership yet made at a public rally.
In East Berlin a sharp attack charging West German President Luebke with murders in the Nazi earmarked the May Day parade.
In West Berlin, the three Western Allied commandants denounced the East Berlin parade as “a renewed violation of the four-power status of Berlin”.
Meanwhile, Pope Paul warned workers not to become “satellites of false ideologies or anti-social activities”.
The Pope was addressing 15,000 members of Catholic workers’ organisations at a mass in St Peter’s Basilica in honour of St Joseph the worker, which coincided with the secular May Day festivities of workers’ movements.
He told them their faith should make them “able, strong and loyal and understanding of the common good in safeguarding your interests . . . but never satellites of other false ideologies and other reprehensible and basically anti-social methods”. | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/president-johnson-accused-of-being-villain-of-vietnam-at-communist-rallies-1966-3687715 | 2022-05-10T13:20:39Z | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/president-johnson-accused-of-being-villain-of-vietnam-at-communist-rallies-1966-3687715 | true | 1 |
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. (AP) _ PowerFleet, Inc. (PWFL) on Tuesday reported a loss of $2.9 million in its first quarter.

Much has been said about the state of the Baltimore Ravens’ depth chart at wide receiver following the trade of Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to the Arizona Cardinals on the first night of the 2022 NFL Draft.
While most of it has been negative and skeptical, the team has maintained a positive outlook and is excited to see what their young wideouts can do with more opportunities. They’ve invested quite a bit of draft capital building up the group by taking a pair in three straight years prior to this year’s draft where they took none.
With the trade of Brown and the release of Miles Boykin last month ahead of the draft, both of the wideouts from the 2019 class are no longer on the roster. However, they still have Devin Duvernay and James Proche II who were selected in 2020, and Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace who were drafted last year.
In a recent appearance on “The Lounge” podcast, General Manager Eric DeCosta didn’t rule out the possibility and seemingly inevitably of adding a veteran free agent. However, he also expressed the organization’s confidence in the young players at the position already on the roster.
“We see those guys every day in the building, right?,” DeCosta said. “We see James. A lot of times James is uncoverable. We see Devin, we see the speed and toughness and the contact balance and hands. We saw Tylan this year on special teams and then when he had a chance to make a play, he made a big play. Tylan was a guy that, before his injury, probably would have been a second-round pick. So we’re excited about those guys.”
Many pundits already believed that Bateman was poised to make a significant leap from year one to year two but following the trade of Brown to the desert, expectations are even higher. He was the team’s first of two first-round picks in last year’s draft and showed a lot of promise as a rookie after he missed the first five games of the season.
Bateman finished with 46 receptions, 515 receiving yards, and one touchdown in 12 games and showed that he can beat press coverage, make defenders miss in space, gain separation with speed and crisp route running. He has been spending a lot of the time in the offseason catching passes from Lamar Jackson and is on track not only for a breakout season but to ascend to “true No. 1” receiver status.

Duvernay is coming off a Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro season as a return specialist but has shown in limited flashes that he can make meaningful and impressive contributions on offense as well. He finished with 33 receptions, 272 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and added seven touches in the running game where he recorded 50 rushing yards and averaged 7.1 yards per carry.

Fans have been clamoring to see the former third-round pick out of Texas be utilized more often and in a multifaceted role that includes carrying the ball out of the backfield in a similar fashion to the way the San Francisco 49ers deploy Deebo Samuels. Down the stretch, last season, Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman claimed that he has more schemed-up plays for Duvernay and others in a vault. Hopefully, he can unlock and unleash those plays so that the former Longhorn can flourish even more in his third season. With Brown gone, Duvernay will have a chance to show off his own blazing 4.39 speed down the field more often.
Calling a receiver “uncoverable” is among the highest compliments a pass-catcher can receive and it does accurately depict Proche’s second season in the league although his stats don’t reflect that. He finished with 16 receptions, 202 receiving yards, and no touchdowns but his 12.6 yards per reception and 10.1 yards per target were reflective of a receiver that knows where to settle and separate to move the chains.
James Proche 29 Yard Catch "Yes Sir It's A Beautiful Thing" pic.twitter.com/eJM77CkWs9
— Robert Chatel (@RobertChatel51) September 26, 2021
Proche made several clutch catches and plays when given the opportunity and was frustratingly inactive for a trio of games in 2021 including the last two weeks of the season. He has the potential to be a potent weapon out of the slot and should have the opportunity to show off his strong hands and route-running prowess as a reliable target in the passing game in 2022.
Wallace was dubbed by many as a steal when the Ravens doubled dipped at the position in last year’s draft by taking him in the fourth round after selecting Bateman in the first. Unfortunately, he was largely relegated to playing special teams as a rookie where he shined on both coverage units but didn’t get many opportunities to showcase his playmaking ability as a pass-catcher.
The only wide receiver who caught fewer passes and was targeted less than Wallace in 2021 was Boykin. The former Oklahoma State star was active for and appeared in all 17 games but was only targeted six times and caught just two passes for 23 yards. The one big play that DeCosta referenced came against the Bengals in Week 16 in his lone start where he picked up a pivotal first down and put his tackle-breaking ability on full display.
Another player who would benefit from increased snaps is Tylan Wallace, he can move the chains.

This WR corps is full of talent and possibility, but sadly some aren’t ready to realise that just yet. #RavensFlock pic.twitter.com/y5bWEO6nAu
While he isn’t the most physically imposing wideout at 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, Wallace showed that he can play a lot bigger than his size suggests in college for the Beavers and made some impressive plays in the preseason as well. In addition to more speed, the Ravens need more physicality on the perimeter at wide receiver as well when it comes to making contested catches in the passing game and blocking down the field in the running game. Wallace can do both and earned more snaps on offense heading into a sophomore season where he will be more involved.
Even though the Ravens didn’t spend any of their 11 picks in this year’s draft on the position, they signed several undrafted rookie free agent wide receivers that will have a chance to earn the fifth or sixth spot on the final depth chart. Mississippi States’ Makai Polk, Alabama’s Slade Boldin, Oregon’s Devon Williams, and Cal’s Trevon Clark are some of the most notable that will be in the running.
While there isn’t much faith in their youngsters at the position at the moment and a veteran addition is likely to happen at some point in the coming months, the Ravens are determined to see what they have in-house in 2022. Now that the offensive line has been fortified and has better depth in case of injuries, expect the passing attack to be more fruitful and explosive going forward which means more opportunities for the likes of Bateman, Duvernay, Proche, Wallace, and potentially an undrafted free agent to shine. And silence their doubters and skeptics. | https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2022/5/10/23059696/ravens-young-wide-receivers-are-poised-to-prove-doubters-wrong-james-proche-devin-duvernay-rashod | 2022-05-10T13:22:51Z | https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2022/5/10/23059696/ravens-young-wide-receivers-are-poised-to-prove-doubters-wrong-james-proche-devin-duvernay-rashod | true | 1 |

LAWTON, Okla. (AP) — Two former Oklahoma police officers have been charged with first-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a Black man in December while responding to a 911 call of an alleged protective order violation.
Following a monthslong probe by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Comanche County District Attorney Kyle Cabelka on Friday charged ex-Lawton Officers Robert Hinkle, 30, and Nathan Ronan, 29, in the death of Quadry Sanders, 29, reported.
Body shows Sanders stands as he is confronted by police outside a Lawton home on Dec. 5, 2021. The 911 caller reported Sanders was waving a gun in the house and wouldn’t let a resident leave, according to authorities.
The video shows Sanders appeared from around a refrigerator, his hands were visible and he appeared to be holding a ball cap, which he moved from his right hand to his left. Sanders then moved partially behind the refrigerator. Sanders wasn’t armed, Cabelka said.
Hinkle shot four times at Sanders, who appeared to have his right hand raised above his head before falling to the ground. Sanders sat up with his hands above his head. Hinkle then fired seven more times.
Ronan also fired four times at Sanders, according to Cabelka, bringing the total number of shots fired at Sanders to 15.
Cabelka said no weapon was found on Sanders nor in the area where he was shot.
Gary James, an Oklahoma City-based attorney representing Hinkle, who is Black, and Ronan, who is white, said officers had repeatedly been called to the house because of Sanders, and evidence will show on the night of the fatal shooting they believed he was reaching for a weapon in his pants.
“Nobody is looking into the facts of this case,” James told The Oklahoman on Sunday. “These are good police officers.”
James said a gun was later discovered on a table in the living room where Sanders came out of.
Civil rights attorney S. Lee Merritt, who represented the family of and is the lead lawyer for ’s estate, is also representing Sanders’ family. Merritt said he wants the charges upgraded to murder.
“It really shocks the conscience when you have a chance to see Mr. Sanders literally doing whatever he could to try to save his own life, and these officers are operating with such callousness,” Merritt in Lawton.
Hinkle and Ronan were fired from the police department on Jan. 7, Lawton City Manager Michael Cleghorn said in a statement.
Hinkle and Ronan were released Friday on a $25,000 bond. They face a minimum of four years in state prison if convicted of the fatal shooting of Sanders. A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 1. | https://www.timesleader.com/wire/nation-world/1555273/ex-oklahoma-officers-charged-in-fatal-shooting-of-black-man | 2022-05-10T13:23:07Z | https://www.timesleader.com/wire/nation-world/1555273/ex-oklahoma-officers-charged-in-fatal-shooting-of-black-man | true | 31 |

Pfizer is spending $11.6 billion to buy the remaining portion of migraine treatment maker Biohaven Pharmaceuticals it does not already own.
The New York drugmaker said Tuesday it will pay $148.50 in cash for each share of Biohaven, which makes Nurtec ODT for treating and preventing migraines and has another nasal spray under development.
The price represents a 33% premium over Biohaven’s 90-day weighted average trading price of $111.70 for Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Co. Ltd., which is based in New Haven, Connecticut.
Shares of Biohaven, which had tumble below $100 in recent weeks, soared 72% before the opening bell to about $72. Pfizer’s stock slipped.
Pfizer Inc. has been flush with cash in recent quarters, thanks in part to sales of its COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty and now its pill treatment for the virus, Paxlovid. Those drugs brought in more than $14 billion in sales during the recently completed first quarter.
The company plans to have about $25 billion in sales by 2030 come from new business developments.
Last November, Pfizer said it would invest $350 million in Biohaven to help sell Nurtec OTD and the spray, zavegepant, outside the United States.
Pfizer said Tuesday the spray is on track for U.S. acceptance in the current quarter, and an oral gel version of it also is being developed for preventing chronic migraines.
The deal for Biohaven also includes some other potential treatments in early stages of development.
Other elements of Biohaven's late-stage development pipeline will go to a new publicly traded company that keeps the Biohaven name.
Shareholders of both Pfizer and Biohaven have approved the sale.
It is expected to close by early 2023, once the new company spin off is completed. | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/pfizer-to-spend-11-6b-on-migraine-treatment-maker-biohaven/article_70bc34a3-638c-5e5b-8669-c8a32e8df3be.html | 2022-05-10T13:24:43Z | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/pfizer-to-spend-11-6b-on-migraine-treatment-maker-biohaven/article_70bc34a3-638c-5e5b-8669-c8a32e8df3be.html | true | 21 |
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra shared the first photo of their daughter after 100 days in intensive care
Nick Jonas Y Priyanka Chopra announced that their daughter, Malti Marie, he is now home with them after spending more than 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit. The couple commemorated the moment by sharing the first photo of her online.
In the sweet image, Chopra, 39, is seen holding Malti Marie on her chest, while Jonas, 29, grabs her tiny arm.
The singer and the actress shared a message about the complicated months they lived due to the delicate state of health of their firstborn.
The actress and member of the Jonas Brothers said in a joint statement next to the photo: “On this Mother’s Day we can not stop reflecting on these last months and the roller coaster we have been on, that we now know and that so many people have experienced it too.”
And they added: “After more than 100 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, our little girl is finally home.”
Chopra and Jonas acknowledged that “every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith” and while theirs was “challenging”, they realized in retrospect “how precious and perfect each moment is”.
“We are thrilled that our little girl is finally home, and we just want to thank all the doctors, nurses, and specialists at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were selflessly there every step of the way,” they concluded.
“Our next chapter starts now, and our daughter is truly badass. Let’s get it! Mommy and daddy love you”, expressed the musician.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and caregivers, but I want to take a minute to say a special Mother’s Day wish to my amazing wife on her first Mother’s Day. Honey, you inspire me in every way, and you are taking on this new role with such ease and firmness. I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an amazing mother. Happy Mother’s Day. I love you”he concluded.
The actress, who is a new mother, said in a message to Jonas: “There’s no one I’d rather do this with than you. Thanks for making me a mom. Love you”.
Chopra and Jonas, who married in an extravagant three-day wedding in India in 2018, announced in January that they had become parents to their first child via surrogacy.
The Jonas family will continue to grow, as Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are expecting their second child almost two years after welcoming their firstborn, Willa, into their arms. In addition, his older brother, Kevin Jonas, is the father of two little girls, Alena and Valentina, along with his wife Danielle.

Erdoğan announces scheme for cheaper housing loans
ANKARA
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced measures designed to provide cheaper housing loans, saying that steps will be taken to boost the purchasing power of low-income groups.
“Home sales declined due to the higher input costs. We are unveiling financing packages to protect people from the fluctuations in the housing market,” Erdoğan said on May 9 following a cabinet meeting.
Loans up with a monthly rate of 0.99 percent and a maturity of 10 years will be provided to first-time homebuyers for houses worth up to 2 million Turkish Liras ($130,000), the president said.
Under a second scheme, dubbed “Broader Housing Financing Package,” loans with a monthly interest rate of 0.89 percent and 10 years of maturity will be provided to those who convert their foreign exchange savings to Turkish Lira or sell their gold to the Central Bank to purchase houses worth up to 2 million liras.
“One other purpose of this [second] scheme is to encourage people to convert foreign currencies and gold they hold to lira,” Erdoğan said.
The president also unveiled that some 20 billion liras have been allocated for the construction industry. This financing will be provided to the companies which have finished 40 percent of their projects, but at least 50 percent of units in those developments were remained unsold as of early May, the president explained.
The companies which pledge not to change the price of units they are selling for a year will be eligible for those loans with up to 36 months of maturity.
Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati said on May 10 that the loans for potential homebuyers and first time buyers will be provided by public banks.
Erdoğan noted that the Housing Development Administration (TOKİ) will ramp up efforts to develop houses. “We will provide 30 billion liras of financing to TOKİ to build houses for low-income groups.”
Home sales increased by 21 percent on an annual basis in March to 134,170 units. Mortgage-financed home sales grew by 39 percent to 30,271 units, which corresponded to some 23 percent of all sales.
From January to March, more than 263,000 houses were sold, marking a 21.7 percent increase from a year ago.
Erdoğan also said that the government is aware that the purchasing power of the low-income groups is eroding.
“We are trying to compensate for this decline in purchasing power with the hikes we delivered in wages. We will improve their purchasing power by making additional arrangements in line with the inflation rate in July,” Erdoğan said.
In April alone, financial support provided to different segments of the society amounted to 5.3 billion, the president said, noting that 2.5 million families received financial support for electricity consumption last year. | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/erdogan-announces-scheme-for-cheaper-housing-loans-173681 | 2022-05-10T13:26:43Z | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/erdogan-announces-scheme-for-cheaper-housing-loans-173681 | false | 1 |

Culture Summit Abu Dhabi returns from Monday, May 16 to Wednesday, May 18 at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
Organised by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, the fifth event will run in person under the theme A Living Culture.
The event brings together thought leaders and experts in the arts, heritage, museums, media and technology for a series of panel sessions and discussions surrounding culture's role in a post-Covid-19 world.
The summit has not yet revealed its full line-up, but already announced guests making their way to Abu Dhabi include Malawi's first female president Joyce Banda. She will take part in the opening panel session on the role culture plays in building resilient societies.
Also appearing at the summit are the Noura Al Kaabi, Minister of Culture and Youth, and DCT Abu Dhabi Chairman Khalifa Al Mubarak.
Polish artist Agnieszka Kurant, whose installations were exhibited in prestigious venues such as New York's Solomon R Guggenheim Museum and last year's Venice Biennale 12th International Architecture Exhibition, will also be present.
She joins Grammy Award-winning Panamanian pianist and educator Danilo Perez, who will lead a discussion on cultural diversity and music education.
Each day of the summit will examine the central theme through various perspectives.
May 16 explores the impact of the pandemic on the cultural world and the resulting need to build a more resilient and dynamic sector.
The following day will look at ways the cultural and creative industries used digital content after the pandemic.
The closing day, May 18, will detail how those sectors can play an increasingly powerful role in championing and fostering inclusion in a globalised world.
“Last year, global cultural leaders recognised that the post-pandemic crisis in culture was profound and unprecedented," Al Mubarak said.
“As the recovery process now gains momentum, we are taking practical steps to shape and strengthen the culture sector regionally and globally through partnership, debate and collaboration.
“There can be no economic recovery without culture, so we seek to focus on outcomes and transformative actions that drive effective cultural solutions to the global challenges of our time.”
The summit is organised with a range of international partner organisations, including Unesco, Google, the Design Museum London, and The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum.
Local partner organisations such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, Berklee Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation are also participating.

Competition with Tesla
Competition with Tesla Apple is expected to launch a vehicle, an autonomous one at that, which will be built to ferry around passengers. The vehicle in all probability will be all-electric. This will make it a direct rival of another EV behemoth, Tesla. In fact, Apple has been reportedly hiring thousands of Tesla engineers in the past few years. (Image for representation only.

BOSTON – Celebrity chef Mario Batali’s sexual misconduct trial is resuming Tuesday in Boston.
The trial in Boston Municipal Court opened Monday with Batali waiving his right to a jury and opting instead to have a judge decide his fate.
The 32-year-old woman who says the former Food Network star kissed and groped her while attempting to take a selfie at a Boston bar in 2017 also testified that she’d felt confused, powerless and embarrassed to share her story until other women stepped forward to share similar encounters with Batali.
But Batali’s lawyer 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.
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.
The 61-year-old, who was once a fixture on shows like “Molto Mario” and “Iron Chef America,” 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. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/2022/05/10/mario-batalis-sexual-misconduct-trial-resumes-in-boston/ | 2022-05-10T13:43:17Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/2022/05/10/mario-batalis-sexual-misconduct-trial-resumes-in-boston/ | true | 11 |
Effective mask use can drastically slow the spread of Covid-19, reduce the magnitude of the pandemic peak by flattening the curve, and reduce the prevalence of severe cases, according to a study.
Researchers from McMaster University in Canada developed a model to investigate Covid-19 "variolation" -- an incidental but potentially beneficial form of immunisation achieved by inhaling smaller doses of the virus than would be inhaled without a mask.
They noted that a form of variolation was deliberately used in the 18th century to control smallpox.
It involved infecting a healthy individual with small doses of the live virus taken from a dried scab or pustule of a person infected with smallpox.
Variolated individuals often experienced far less severe disease than those who were infected naturally, but were immune to further infection, according to the researchers.
Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, it was suggested that people who were infected while masked might experience mild illness and could be considered "variolated," they said.
The new mathematical model allows researchers to estimate the potential impact of this effect on the population as a whole.
"If the variolation effect is strong, then the number of severe cases, and consequently pressure on health-care systems, could be substantially reduced if most people wore masks -- even if masks don't prevent them from being infected," said study senior author David Earn, from McMaster University.

The study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, suggests effective masking could drastically slow the spread of Covid-19, reduce the magnitude of the pandemic peak by “flattening the curve,” and reduce the prevalence of severe cases from that point forward.
"Our qualitative findings are that the value of masking is under-appreciated in a public health context, especially as Covid-19 transitions from pandemic to endemic, and we should think twice about getting rid of mask mandates," says Zachary Levine, lead author of the study and a former undergraduate student at McMaster.
"As we prepare for the next pandemic, understanding how different infection control strategies could affect disease dynamics could help us understand which policies are worth pursuing," said Levine, who is now a graduate student at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
The results of the study are potentially applicable to any respiratory infection that is transmitted by inhaling infectious particles, the researchers said.
For future Covid variants or other infectious diseases, the model can be used to study how increasing the proportion of mild cases affects the overall dynamics of disease spread, they said.
"If wearing a mask protects you in addition to those in the room around you, it could also have significant impacts on everyone who may not be in the room," Levine added.

Wolves remain hopeful that head coach Bruno Lage will return to the touchline for Wednesday night’s Premier League clash with Manchester City at Molineux.
Lage missed Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea after testing positive for Covid-19, communicating with his coaching staff directly via a telephone link from the club’s training ground.
The 45-year-old, who is understood to be asymptomtic, was due to take further tests on Tuesday and Wednesday in the hope a negative result will allow him to return against the title-chasers.
In the event of Lage’s continued absence the team will continue to be marshalled by first-team coach Carlos Cachada, who has stressed the need for his players to cut out silly mistakes in their quest to finish the campaign on a high.
“In the second half (against Chelsea) we suffered two goals by mistakes but the guys showed some real character and the belief they could get back into the game,” said Cachada.
As well as potentially playing a pivotal role in the title race, with a game against Liverpool also still to come, Wolves have not entirely given up hope of clinching European qualification for next season.
They head into the game five points off seventh-placed West Ham but not without hope if they can capitalise on their game in hand over the Hammers by springing an upset against Pep Guardiola’s men.
Cachada added: “Firstly, we hope we can get the best result against City and secondly, the best points we can get until the end of the season, and if we can reach seventh place it is much better.
“The guys don’t talk about it (the title race) because we still have our aims and goals, and they are focused on that. The aim of the players is to get the best points we can get in the table.”
Wolves could name an unchanged side for the game with Daniel Podence still ruled out with a minor foot injury and Nelson Semedo and Max Kilman sidelined for the remainder of the season. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/05/10/bruno-lage-eyeing-return-to-wolves-dugout-after-coronavirus-enforced-absence/ | 2022-05-10T13:44:36Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/05/10/bruno-lage-eyeing-return-to-wolves-dugout-after-coronavirus-enforced-absence/ | false | 11 |

It's Hunger Action Week, and activists are asking lawmakers to use California's wealth for the people's health - and harness the budget surplus to battle food insecurity.
Advocates hope to phone and zoom with all 120 members of the State Assembly and Senate. Their top priority is the Food 4 All bill (SB 464), which would extend CalFresh food assistance to undocumented people of all ages.
Frank Tamborello is executive director of Hunger Action Los Angeles.
"With the double hit of food-price inflation coupled with an expected reduction in public benefits due to the pandemic emergency being lifted pretty soon," said Tamborello, "it's a critical moment to take up our legislators and tell them that they need to use the state surplus to alleviate the continued suffering."
Pandemic-induced poverty has not abated. Statistics show that one in five Californians still struggle with food insecurity.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's budget proposal would put $50 million toward the CalFood program, which helps food banks to purchase California-grown foods.
Becky Silva, senior policy advocate with the California Association of Food Banks, said she hopes it gets bumped up to $120 million in the May 15 budget revise.
"A lot of our food banks are still saying that they're serving double the number of people," said Silva, "sometimes even triple the number of people pre-pandemic."
Wes Saver, senior policy manager with the GLIDE Center for Social Justice in San Francisco, said he would like the state to implement a planned increase for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients in 2023 instead of 2024.
"Despite the federal and state interventions, food insecurity in California remains with really deep inequities in communities of color," said Saver. "More than a quarter of Black and Latinx families reported food insecurity, which is double the rate of white families."
Todd Cunningham is an organizer with the Skid Row Food and Wellness Collaborative at the Los Angeles Community Action Network. He said this year people actually experiencing homelessness will be on the zoom calls with legislators.
"Folks who may never have had the opportunity to go to Sacramento in the past can now speak about their lived experiences," said Cunningham. "It results in more enlightened and better-informed decision-making about food policy. The people who are living day to day with the issues make the greatest impact."

U.S. Postal Service workers will help feed needy families this Saturday by participating in the "Stamp Out Hunger" program, collecting and sorting nonperishable food donations from postal customers.
Marie Montano, a letter carrier for the Postal Service and member of the National Association of Letter Carriers Local 504 in Albuquerque leads the drive, said donations help replenish the shelves at Roadrunner Food Bank.
Montano noted the project is close to her heart, because she remembers her own family sometimes struggled to make ends meet.
"There were six of us in my family, so I remember that it was sometimes tight for my parents," Montano recounted. "And if I can do it now, to help out, I will do as much as I can, because I remember that."
Due to COVID, letter carriers had to forgo the annual tradition the past two years, and instead competed in friendly contests to raise cash for Roadrunner, topping out at $10,000 last year.
The annual event, held the second Saturday in May, takes place in 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states and beyond.
According to Montano, postal customers just need to put food items next to their mail slot and a postal worker will do the rest.
"Some of my customers don't have the time to go and take it to Roadrunner," Montano acknowledged. "Everybody's so busy now and with COVID going on, they were kind-of scared, and it's easy for a lot of our customers."
Because of the two-year COVID hiatus, Montano is not sure what to expect for this year's drive, but said current letter carriers, retirees and countless volunteers will do their best to make it successful.
"I'd like to hit 200,000 pounds for Albuquerque," Montano emphasized. "We've gone a little bit close, I don't know that we've fully gone over, over in the one-day pick-up. I think the highest we've gone is, like, 195,000."
People are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag containing nonperishable food items that are not expired -- such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, peanut butter, rice or cereal -- next to their mailbox before the regular mail delivery time on Saturday.

A food pantry serving immigrant families in the Triangle is bracing for an uptick in demand driven by the highest levels of inflation in decades.
Pastor and Executive Director Edgar Vergara of Iglesia la Semilla said its "Alacena Comunitaria" or community food pantry is purchasing new refrigerators and freezers, and expanding shelving space to store more culturally appropriate foods for Latino households in need.
Vergara explained many immigrant families are unable to find culturally relevant or healthy food items from local food pantries or agencies offering food assistance.
"Masa or harina are used for cooking tortillas, depending on the country," said Vergara, "but, for example, pupusas from El Salvador, or sopas or gorditas from Mexico."
The pantry's upgrades are funded by a community mini-grant from the American Heart Association, with support from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
Food banks nationwide are facing a crisis. Feeding America reports donations have dropped at more than half of its food banks since the beginning of the year.
Since December, around 70% of the nation's food banks reported either an increase in demand or demand holding steady from the previous month.
Vergara said he's noticed a surge in requests for food assistance at Iglesia la Semilla's weekly food distribution.
"And every week we see an increase of vehicles," said Vergara, "families coming to get food."
He added the health of residents is at stake when adults skip meals or are unable to feed their children, and said community organizations and local governments can combine resources to have a greater impact.
"It requires interlocking arms and a willingness to work together," said Vergara, "in order to meet the very real needs that our historically marginalized communities face. "
One recent Columbia University study found Latino youths lacking access to nutritionally adequate food had higher rates of chronic disease, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

American Rescue Plan funds will help bring a new food truck to the streets of Charleston, providing free hot meals to the region's most vulnerable residents.
Charleston food pantry and soup kitchen Manna Meal was recently awarded around $900,000 to purchase and operate the food truck.
Amy Wolfe, executive director of Manna Meal, said demand for food has jumped by more than half since the pandemic, and has not slowed down since. She pointed out Manna Meal provides two free meals every day to residents facing food insecurity, and is ramping up efforts to keep up with need.
"And then, of course, with rising costs across the board on everything and supply-chain issues, we're seeing people that have never needed assistance before who are very thankful that we are able to be there for them," Wolfe observed.
Wolfe noted she expects the food truck to be in operation later this year. According to Feeding America, 1 in 7 adults in West Virginia, and 1 in 5 children are unsure where they will get their next meal.
She added a food truck will help ensure people unable to travel to the pantry's main location do not miss out on hot meals.
"It gives us the opportunity to those who can't make it in for whatever reason, and it's also expanding the service to touch more people," Wolfe contended. "And when we empower more people, our entire community benefits."
She emphasized nationwide, many communities, especially those in rural regions, are deploying food trucks as an alternative to the traditional food pantry.
"It's a fully functioning food truck," Wolfe stressed. "We will be able to not only cook meals there, but we designed it to have a little bit more hot storage space. "
Research shows food trucks can be an effective and economical way to bring healthy meals to residents living in food deserts.

Starbucks introduces new chocolate-flavored coffee
Published: May. 10, 2022 at 8:02 AM CDT|Updated: 50 minutes ago
(CNN) - If you like chocolate, Starbucks has a new drink for you.
Starbucks added a new chocolate cold brew to its menu on Tuesday.
The drink is topped with a light chocolate-cream foam and is sweetened with vanilla syrup.
Cold beverages, like iced coffees and Frappuccinos, have been extremely successful for Starbucks.
Interim CEO Howard Schultz said in last week’s earnings call that they account for “almost 80% of the business.”
Starbucks said its new chocolatey drink is meant to convey a “nostalgic” feeling of summer but will be available all year long.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman urges IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) investors who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm is investigating possible securities law violations.

IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on IonQ’s statements about its 32-qubit machine which the company claims is “the world’s most powerful quantum computer.” IonQ’s representations allowed the company to go public through a SPAC-merger in late Sept. 2021.
But on May 3, 2022, the claims came into question after activist short-seller Scorpion Capital published a 183-page scathing report alleging the company’s claims of a 32-qubit machine are a “brazen hoax.” The firm points out that past employees stated in interviews the technology “doesn’t exist,” that “it was totally made up,” and that the company is “trying to cover up that it is not there.”
Scorpion determined that IonQ’s only actual machine is an old 11-qubit toy computer for demonstration purposes that ex-employees, leading quantum experts, and key partners “all described as primitive, useless, doomed by fatal error rates inherent to the technology, unreliable with low uptime, and so slow that a useful calculation could take 3 years.”
In addition, Scorpion accused IonQ of recording fictitious revenue via sham transactions and related-party round-tripping and, thereby, creating the illusion of commercial momentum.
In response, the price of IonQ shares sharply fell.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether IonQ misrepresented the existence of- and commercial prospects for- its 32-qubit computer,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Per the posting, the blaze is now “being managed under Unified Command. There are no major threats to life or property at this time. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if there were any injuries.

What's notable about that gain is that it comes in the face of big premarket declines for some high-profile Nasdaq stocks.

Despite being outplayed for most of Game 4, the Capitals were this close to taking a stranglehold on their first-round series against the Panthers.
But, as Evgeny Kuznetsov and Co. found out Monday night in D.C., close doesn’t mean a whole lot when you’re facing the quick-strike President Trophy winners.
With goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on the bench for the extra attacker, Sam Reinhart scored with 2:04 left in regulation and then Carter Verhaeghe struck — just 4:57 into overtime— to rally the Panthers to a 3-2 victory, sending the series back to Florida knotted 2-2.
Game 5 is Wednesday.
The mood in the home locker room at Capital One Arena?
Disappointment, not despair.
“The second period wasn’t our best,” Kuznetsov said, referring to Washington mustering just four shots to Florida’s 12 in the middle 20 minutes. “In third period, it was everything in our hands. We’re going to play best-of-three right now. There is no panic. Still pretty good chance.”
The mood in the visitors’ room was just as notable. After fumbling around in the dark for long stretches during the first three games, the NHL’s best team in the regular season felt it had finally found the light switch.
“Just keep building,” Panthers head coach Andrew Brunette said, asked about his postgame message. “We’ve gotten to our game and we still have a little bit of another level to get to. We’ve got another gear. It was a very encouraging sign.”
Added Verhaeghe: “We kind of got back to our game. We were a lot better 5-on-5 and we were making plays. We weren’t panicking with the puck. We were battling for pucks and pressuring their D. It was probably our best game of the series.
Five takeaways
1. After Verhaeghe’s game-winner, Washington head coach Peter Laviolette remained on the bench to argue with officials. He felt that Ilya Samsonov had been interfered with by Jonathan Huberdeau, who had crashed into the Caps’ goaltender with some help from Lars Eller. The collision turned Samsonov, who finished with 30 saves, and knocked the stick out of his hand.
After a brief review, the goal was allowed to stand, leaving Laviolette angry and confused.
“I’m not sure what it is,” he said of the ruling. “They said that Lars helped him in there. I thought that Lars was trying to get him out of there.”
“The goaltender has got to be able to make a save,” he concluded.
2. After averaging more than 32 shots per game through the series’ first three contests, the Caps were held to just 16 in Game 4.
Ovechkin, Kuznetsov and Garnet Hathaway were the only forwards to register more than one shot on net. Seven players did not put a single shot on net, including top-six forwards Nicklas Bäckström and Anthony Mantha.
“I thought in the third period we got moving in the right direction and pressed and got to where we wanted,” Laviolette said, asked about the lack of pressure on Bobrovsky. “There’s not a lot of room out there five-on-five.”
3. The margin between winning and losing is so small in the postseason.
Just look at the final minutes of regulation.
If Marcus Johansson beats Bobrovsky on a breakaway, it’s probably over.
If Hathaway finds the empty net from 130 feet out instead of the side of the cage, it’s probably over, too.
Instead, Huberdeau’s saucer a pass to Claude Giroux deflected off Hathaway’s arm and landed in the slot, where Sam Reinhart wired the game-tying shot past Samsonov.
“We were able to stick with it and we got a bounce at the end,” said Reinhart, whose tally was the first of his career in the postseason. “It’s a game of inches, and tonight proved it.”
Per the NHL, teams that take a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series hold a series record of 296-30 (.908). It’s hard not to wonder if the Caps are going to look back on Monday’s defeat as a missed opportunity.
4. Tom Wilson’s status remains unclear heading into Game 5. The Caps’ hard-hitting winger, who has been sidelined with a suspected left leg/knee injury since the opening minutes of Game 1, has not been on the ice since getting hurt, but Laviolette reiterated Monday night that the door has not been closed on the possibility of him returning at some point.
“Right now it remains day-to-day with him,” he said. “I understand that’s not the answer that you guys want but that’s actually where it’s at.”
Asked what the Caps are missing minus Wilson, Laviolette said: “There’s no question that you miss a guy like Tom in a series like this. It’s physical. It’s full of hits. But injuries are part of it. Our team is moving forward right now in these games without him, and I think we’ve done a pretty good job.”
So, Wilson Watch continues until further notice.
Washington is not scheduled to hold a formal practice on Tuesday as the team makes its way back to South Florida, though the scratches are scheduled to skate at 10:30 a.m.
5. If you’re looking for a bright spot, T.J. Oshie was it on Monday.
Oshie, who led all Caps’ forwards in ice with 20:57, collected his team-leading third goal of the postseason on the power play in the first period after John Carlson’s shot ricocheted off of his shin pad.
Oshie’s goals in this series have come on a redirection, a tip and defection off of his leg. Talk about playoff-style goals.
Oshie also ranks fourth among Caps’ forwards in hits this postseason with 17, which includes his momentum-snatching check on Sam Bennett in the third period. The hit helped spring Kuznetsov for his breakaway goal. It also drew the ire of the Panthers.
“That’s a big play,” Kuznetsov said. “All our system is like that — to force them to cut to the middle. It’s one of those plays that we have to be patient and wait for those. It’s not gonna happen every game.”
Brunette was not a fan of the hit.
“It’s obviously something they’ll probably take a look at,” he said, referring to the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. “I didn’t like the hit. I thought it was targeted to the head and if it’s not Sam Bennett who is one of the toughest guys you’ll ever run into…He just bounced off it.”

Dating apps maker Match Group Inc sued Alphabet Inc’s Google on Monday, calling the action a “last resort" to prevent Tinder and its other apps from being booted off the Play store for refusing to share up to 30% of their sales.
Match’s lawsuit is the latest to target Google’s allegedly anticompetitive conduct with the Play store, joining ongoing cases brought by “Fortnite" maker Epic Games, dozens of U.S. state attorneys general and others.
Google did immediately respond to a request for comment on the new filing. But it has said that developers have the option to bypass the Play store and that it has lowered fees and created other programs to address antitrust concerns.

(KTLA) – CVS and Walgreens are among the retailers limiting sales of baby formula amid the ongoing nationwide shortage.
Citing challenges with supply, both chains are capping purchases to three baby formula products per transaction.
Parents around the U.S. hoping to buy baby formula are being met with empty shelves due to the shortage, which only got worse in February when a major baby food manufacturer, Abbott Nutrition, recalled powdered baby formula products manufactured at a Michigan plant.
The recall, which affected the Similac, Alimentum and EleCare brands, was issued after four babies were hospitalized with bacterial infections, and two died after taking powdered baby formula, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The recall exacerbated already existing baby formula supply issues caused by pandemic-snarled supply chains and shortages of ingredients.
Now, companies are limiting how much baby formula customers can buy at once.
“Following supplier challenges and increased customer demand, we currently have a limit of three baby formula products per purchase in our stores and online,” CVS spokeswoman Monica Prinzing said in a statement. “We’re continuing to work with our baby formula vendors to address this issue and we regret any inconvenience this causes our customers.”
Similarly, a Walgreens spokesperson pointed to the same supply issue, saying the chain is placing limits to help improve inventory.
“Due to increased demand and various supplier challenges, infant and toddler formulas are seeing constraint across the country. Similar to other retailers, we put into effect purchase limits of three per transaction on all infant and toddler formula to help improve inventory,” Walgreens spokesman Kris Lathan told Nexstar’s KTLA. “We continue to work diligently with our supplier partners to best meet customer demands.”
Target and Kroger also began rationing online formula purchases in April, the Wall Street Journal reported.
As of April 13, about 31% of formula products were out of stock across the country, according to retail software company Datasembly.
In a statement issued last month, Abbott Nutrition representatives said they were aware that their recall “caused additional stress and anxiety in an already challenging situation of a global supply shortage.”
The company said it was producing more Similac Advance powder formula for U.S. babies at its plant in Ireland, and prioritizing formula production at its Ohio plant to help replenish the supply in the market.
In the meantime, federal authorities are warning parents and caregivers against diluting infant formula or giving homemade formula to infants.
Americans were also asked to avoid buying imported formula online, since it can be counterfeit, FDA officials said. | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/cvs-walgreens-limiting-sales-of-baby-formula-amid-shortage/ | 2022-05-10T14:06:39Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/cvs-walgreens-limiting-sales-of-baby-formula-amid-shortage/ | true | 13 |

Facebook Removes Location-Based Features Due To “Low Usage”
Facebook has announced that a number of its location-based features will no longer be available from the end of this month.
Nearby Friends, Location History, Time Alerts, and Background Location will all be gone from the platform soon.
“Nearby Friends and Weather alerts will no longer be available after May 31, 2022,” Facebook announced.
“Information you shared that was used for these experiences, including Location History and Background Location, will stop being collected after May 31, 2022, even if you have previously enabled them.”
Users can download their own location history by August 1, after which Facebook will delete this data.
It’s unclear why exactly they are doing this.
Meta spokesperson Emil Vazquez told The Verge via email:
“While we’re deprecating some location-based features on Facebook due to low usage, people can still use Location Services to manage how their location information is collected and used.”
Of course,. discontinuing this features doesn’t mean Facebook will stop tracking and storing information about your every moment. | https://www.channelnews.com.au/facebook-removes-location-based-features-due-to-low-usage/ | 2022-05-10T14:12:14Z | https://www.channelnews.com.au/facebook-removes-location-based-features-due-to-low-usage/ | false | 1 |
Two direct payment deadlines worth a combined $1,350 coming up for thousands of Americans – days left to apply
THOUSANDS of Americans have days left to act and claim their payments.
These are being offered by a couple of cities and states through two separate universal basic income (UBI) programs.
Instead of one-off payments such as stimulus checks, UBI recurs typically on a monthly basis.
For example, those who qualify for UBI may get $450 per month for a year, as opposed to one lump sum payment worth $1,400.
But for UBI, there are two key deadlines approaching in the coming days.
It comes as the deadline to apply for Baltimore, Maryland's $1,000 per month program passed on Monday.
See the places below where you need to fill out an application within the next week and what the eligibility requirements are.
1. Chicago, Illinois
In Chicago, Illinois 5,000 residents are eligible to get $500 monthly payments for a year.
To be eligible, those in the windy city must:
- Be 18 years or older
- Experienced financial difficulty related to Covid-19
- Have a household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty level
Most read in Money
For a family of three and four, the federal poverty level is $57,575 and $69,375 respectively.
Eligible applicants will be entered into a lottery.
Officials also noted the lottery is designed to prioritize folks living in communities with preexisting economic hardship.
Applications must be submitted by Friday, May 13.
2. Georgia
More than 650 women in Georgia will stand to benefit from $850 in monthly payments for two years.
The In Her Hands program is being run in collaboration with nonprofit organizations GiveDirectly and the Georgia Resilience and Opportunity Fund.
You must live in Old Fourth Ward, or parts of Sweet Auburn, according to the details of the program.
The rest of the eligibility requirements are as follows:
- Must be a woman that’s at least 18 years old
- Suffered negative impact from Covid-19, which includes health problems or loss of employment
- Income must be at or below 200% of the federal poverty level
The earnings threshold is $27,180 per year for individuals and $55,500 for a family of four.
Those eligible can apply online and have until May 15 to do so.
Additionally, there is one other non-UBI deadline coming up in the next month.
Colorado residents will get a tax rebate of up to $800.
They will be based on 2021 tax returns, which must be filed by May 31, 2022.
Eligible taxpayers can expect to receive their money in the mail in August or September, according to the state.
They are estimated to go out to 3.1million residents.
For more on UBI, Austin's City Council recently approved a plan that would send $1,000 per month for a year struggling residents.
Plus, see the 24 cities and states offering UBI.

A fund launched by podcast host Deborah James has raised more than £1 million in less than 24 hours since it was announced.
The popular presenter of the BBC podcast You, Me And The Big C said in an Instagram post on Monday night that she had set up the Bowelbabe Fund as she told her followers she had been moved to hospice at home care to treat her terminal bowel cancer.
James was diagnosed with the condition in 2016 and since then has kept her nearly 500,000 Instagram followers up to date with her treatments, with candid posts about her progress and diagnosis.
She said on Monday night that she did not know how long she has left, and that while the last six months have been “heartbreaking” to go through, she has been surrounded by “so much love” and has “no regrets”.
The Bowelbabe Fund page, launched on Just Giving, has raised more than £1.2 million since James posted about it on her Instagram page on Monday evening.
Writing about the fund, she said: “I always knew there was one thing I always wanted to do before I died.
“I have always over the years raised as much awareness and money for the charities that are closest to me. @cr_uk @royalmarsden @bowelcanceruk
“As a result, the @bowelbabefund is being established and I’d love nothing more than for you to help it flourish. Please visit bowelbabe.org for all the info and to donate (link in Bio).”
She added: “All I ask if you ever read a column, followed my Instagram, listened to the podcast or saw me dressed as a poo for no reason.
“Please buy me a drink to see me out this world, by donating the cost to @bowelbabefund which will enable us to raise funds for further life saving research into cancer.
“To give more Deborah’s more time!”.
The former deputy headteacher started her Instagram post saying it was the “message I never wanted to write”.
“We have tried everything, but my body simply isn’t playing ball.
“My active care has stopped and I am now moved to hospice at home care, with my incredible family all around me and the focus is on making sure I’m not in pain and spending time with them.
“Nobody knows how long I’ve got left but I’m not able to walk, I’m sleeping most of the days, and most things I took for granted are pipe dreams.
“I know we have left no stone unturned. But even with all the innovative cancer drugs in the world or some magic new breakthrough, my body just can’t continue anymore.”
The fund name echoes her social media handle, Bowelbabe, and is raising funds for Cancer Research UK.
The Just Giving page said it was “raising money to fund clinical trials and research into personalised medicine for cancer patients and supporting campaigns to raise awareness of bowel cancer”. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/05/10/deborah-james-fundraising-initiative-reaches-1m-mark/ | 2022-05-10T14:13:37Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/05/10/deborah-james-fundraising-initiative-reaches-1m-mark/ | true | 5 |

In fact, it was two decades ago during the prequel trilogy era that Darth Maul (Ray Park) first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) and Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) was introduced as Darth Tyranus in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002).

Then, last year, an intriguing dark side Force wielder appeared in a “Star Wars: The High Republic” comic book issue.
At the time an article shared details about this particular introduction:
This preview shows Keeve [Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis] in an unknown place before she begins talking to Kanrii, Bartol, and Julus. Already this indicates that things may not be what they seem – after all, Julus was killed by the Drengir in a previous Star Wars issue. The conclusion of the preview reveals a dark, mysterious foe and a red lightsaber, before revealing a scarred face that fans have not seen before.

Gizmodo’s i09 received an exclusive first look at this new female Star Wars villain, and they note:
Suffice to say, there’s a lot of Sith-y things going on in Shadow of the Sith (it’s in the name, really). But while Luke and Lando find themselves on the trail of The Rise of Skywalker’s mysterious assassin, Ochi is not the only Sith agent that the novel is going to be dealing with…Who is this strange, lightsaber-wielding figure? We don’t know for sure yet, but io9 can confirm that if you’ve been reading the canon Star Wars novels, the true identity of this masked figure will be a familiar face to you.

Adam Christopher’s “Shadow of the Sith” is set to clear up some of the prequel trilogy plot holes that existed in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015), Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017), and Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
At the time the films release, many Star Wars fans found the story to be stale and too reliant on nostalgia. Others thought the main characters — Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and ace Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) — were much too similar to the original trilogy’s core trio of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and Han Solo (Harrison Ford).

Still others were not fond of the story arc surrounding Han and Leia’s son, Ben Solo/Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), and Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis).
Christopher’s new novel takes place 17 years after Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983), the same year young Rey winds up on Jakku.

One notable plot hole that could be filled in in “Shadow of the Sith” is the connection that Star Wars legend Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) potentially has to Jannah (Naomi Ackie). While it is well-known that Lando had a wife and a daughter who was kidnapped, the child’s identity has never been revealed.
It is certainly possible that this new female antagonist who is hunting Luke and Lando could play a role in identifying who the Cloud City administrator’s child is one and for all.

Recalls, supply chain issues and labor shortages have many parents and caregivers struggling to find baby formula. A nationwide shortage has led some retailers and grocery stores to limit purchases and go as far as placing inventory behind the counter.
The worsening shortage is particularly acute for shoppers in Washington and the Seattle area, according to retail software company Datasembly, which said about 31% of formula products were out of stock across the country as of April. The rate for the week of April 3 was even worse in the state, at 40%, and even higher in that same period for Seattle and 11 other major metro areas.
With shelves often empty, people can panic and seek out alternative methods, including homemade recipes and buying products from strangers online, said Eliza Lagerquist, a neonatal dietician with the University of Washington Medical Center.
But Lagerquist and other experts caution parents and caregivers to remain mindful, seek out community resources and follow advice from their pediatrician.
“Nutrition is a core building block of growth and development and we as your pediatricians are happy to help you navigate this challenging time,” said Dr. Dale Lee, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Seattle Children’s Hospital. “It is important that families realize that they are not in this difficult time alone.”
Here’s what to know if you can’t find baby formula at stores. Check back for updates.
Contact your pediatrician or local hospital
Lee encourages families to contact pediatricians if switching brands or seeking substitutions if you can’t find your preferred brand. Guidance is especially important, he said, if your infant or child is on a more specialized formula, as substitutions may be more complex.
In particular, Lee said, formulas with broken-down proteins, or that are amino-acid based, may be used in unique situations and needs to be carefully substituted.
Many local good banks have infant formulas, he said, and your pediatrician’s office or dietitian may have “unique resources” as well.
Formula alternatives that aren’t safe for infants
Infant formula is highly regulated and specially formulated to be a safe substitute for breast milk with a proper ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrates, said Lagerquist.
Alternatives to avoid:
- Toddler formula: Formulated to meet the needs of children over 12 months old, toddler formula doesn’t meet the needs of infants.
- Homemade formula: The “endless” online recipes to make formula at home are unregulated and pose too many potential risks for infants to consume, according to Lagerquist. “We can’t just mix our own things together in the kitchen,” she said.
- Cow’s milk: Isn’t easily digested by babies until age 1. Milk doesn’t contain enough iron, which is critical for babies’ growth and development at the infant stage. Cow’s milk may also put your child at risk for intestinal bleeding before they turn 1, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Nut milk: Low caloric density and not formulated to be “nutritionally complete,” nut milk can result in nutritional deficiencies, said Lee.
- Diluting formula: Trying to dilute formula to make it last longer can be harmful because it reduces the nutrients a baby gets and can lead to malnutrition and poor weight gain, Lagerquist said.
Order directly from manufacturer
You can also check the manufactures’ website for a local store locator, then call ahead to make sure the product is in stock.
Lagerquist recommends parents and caregivers to check the Washington State Department of Health’s Women, Infant and Children (WIC) website – st.news/WICInfantFormula – for suggested formula alternatives if their local store is out of their preferred brand. The site also features a locator tool to identify if the item is in stock.
Consider breastmilk
If breastfeeding isn’t an option, you can buy safe, pasteurized breastmilk from donors at milk banks. The Northwest Mothers Milk Bank tests milk donated at partner hospitals in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Distribution sites in the Seattle area include:
Overlake Hospital Medical Center Mom and Baby Care Center in Bellevue: 1051 116th Ave. N.E., Suite 200, Monday through Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., 425-688-5389
Evergreen Health Medical Center Post-Partum Care Center in Kirkland: 12303 N.E. 130th Lane Ste 320 Coral, Monday through Saturday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., 425-899-3602
Call ahead to check availability and bring a valid prescription from a provider. Download the prescription form for Overlake here. Download the prescription for Evergreen here.
Those interested in donating breastmilk can call the NW Mother’s Milk Bank at 503-469-0955 or visit nwmmb.org for more information.
Don’t share breastmilk or buy directly from donors
Breastmilk sharing has risen in popularity, according to Lee, who does not recommend informal breastmilk sharing. Whether it is between friends, communities or acquired through the internet, there are potential risks if milk is not screened for illnesses or medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Human Milk Banking Association of North America discourage the practice as well and recommend consulting a healthcare provider first or using milk that has been tested.
Check formula for recalls
If you get your hands on formula, check that it wasn’t recalled for possible Cronobacter contamination by looking at the product code or entering the lot code on the Abbott website: similacrecall.com or call 1-800-986-8540.
Similac PM 60/40 powdered formula: Lot # 27032K80 (can) and Lot # 27032K800 (case) was recalled on Feb. 28.
Similac, Alimentum and EleCare powdered formula: Recalled on Feb 17. if they have all three of these conditions:
- First two digits of the code are 22 through 37, AND
- on the container contains “K8,” “SH,” or “Z2,” AND
- Use-by date is 4-1-2022 (APR 2022) or later.
Contact a healthcare provider if your baby has symptoms of Cronobacter illness, which include fever, poor feeding, excessive crying or very low energy, according to the CDC. Some infants may also have seizures.
For a full list of recalled products visit the FDA’s consumer advisory page: st.news/FDAFormulaRecall.
Store formula safely
Once you’ve checked that your formula is safe, be sure to use it before the “Use By” date and store safely.
Use formula within 2 hours of preparation and within one hour from when feeding begins. If not used within 2 hours, immediately store it in the fridge and use within 24 hours, according to the CDC.
Throw out formula left in the bottle after feeding. Store unopened formula containers in a cool, dry place indoors with lid tightly closed. Do not store it in the fridge. Most infant formula needs to be used within one month of opening the container.

New Ravens Tight End Isaiah Likely 'A Intriguing Player'
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens made a surprise move when they selected two tight ends in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Baltimore took Charlie Kolar from Iowa State with the 128th pick and then selected Isaiah Likely from Coastal Carolina just 11 picks selections later.
Kolar plays like a true tight end, while Likely can lineup as a big wideout because of his speed to get down the field.
"This is a very intriguing player," Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz said about Likely. "I remember watching him on tape early on. It was just like, ‘Man, this guy is making plays all the time.’ He lines up as a receiver; he’s catching the ball as a wide receiver. He lines up at tight end. They motion him. They run him in boots – in the drag boots and things – and he’s just really electric. He runs downfield."
Likely does like to stretch the field and had five career receptions of 50-plus yards. He also had 27 career touchdowns and over 2,000 yards receiving in four years at Coastal Carolina.

Last season, he was a Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) second-team All-American.
Likely is confident the Ravens will utilize his versatility.
“I know it’s really unique. I know the Ravens really play with more than one tight end, so I know that playing time is obviously in balance for the first year," Likely said. "I know that Lamar Jackson does a lot of great things with the ball in his hands, whether it’s RPOs [run-pass option], whether it’s drop back, or whether it’s just a pocket collapsing and he’s just looking down the field.
"Lamar Jackson is a playmaker in himself. So, him just trying to always find eyes down the field and trying to look for either the tight end or long shot just makes [for] a great possibility to do things early in my career.”
Likely can also play like a true tight end and is adept at blocking, which will be added value for him to get on the field with the Ravens. The team will try to best use his talents in the ever-evolving offense.
"Sometimes he blocks people and knocks them off their feet downfield," Hortiz said. "It’s just an interesting guy, but you watch him, [and] it’s not like an obvious position fit; he’s just kind of a playmaker-type guy. So, I think he’s really intriguing, and it’s going to … We’re excited about trying to figure out exactly where he fits, but he definitely fits as a playmaker.” | https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/new-ravens-tight-end-isaiah-likely-a-intriguing-player | 2022-05-10T14:29:31Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/news/new-ravens-tight-end-isaiah-likely-a-intriguing-player | false | 2 |

Various Opposition parties in Puducherry, including the DMK, the MDMK, and the PMK have come out strongly against a circular of the Jawaharlal Institute of Post-Graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) that said that entries in service books must be in English and Hindi.
He also called upon all the heads of departments, officers in charge of sections, and staff members to take action to ensure strict compliance with the rules. In the circular, the director also said that the officials must fulfill the assurance given to the Committee of Parliament of Official Language and the work must be monitored by the officer in charge.
DMK leader R Siva, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Puducherry Assembly, on Monday, 9 May, demanded that JIPMER withdraw the order or face a series of agitations.
Siva, in a statement, also said that the JIPMER was continuously denying the rights of Puducherry and said that the JIPMER management was involved in "cheap politics".
He added that youngsters in Puducherry are either denied employment or being given temporary employment. The DMK leader also charged that permanent postings including that of doctors, nurses, and administrative officials are being given to people from other states.
MDMK leader Vaiko also called upon the JIPMER management to immediately withdraw the circular in Hindi. The PMK state leadership also came out against the circular in Hindi.
Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, who visited JIPMER and held discussions with Director Rakesh Aggarwal, said, "there is no imposition of Hindi in any manner in the institute, and Tamil, the local language is given priority". She told reporters that there were four circulars and a couple of them were being propagated as imposing Hindi.
"There is a specific circular that Tamil should be given priority particularly in all communications relating to the patients and services to the people in the institute," she said.

Gaudreau leads Flames past Stars in Game 4, series now even
Gaudreau buried on that breakaway opportunity, capping a filthy deke to his backhand with a five-hole finish, and the Flames delivered their most impressive performance of these playoffs so far in rolling to a 4-1 victory in Game 4 of their opening-round date with the Dallas Stars.

Flames vs. Stars: Game 4 need-to-knows
The Calgary Flames are shooting for a split in the Lone Star State.
The Flames are currently facing a 2-1 deficit in their first-round showdown with the Dallas Stars, needing a victory in Monday’s matchup at American Airlines Center to turn this tight-checking series into a best-of-three.

From lineups to major storylines, here’s what you need to know …
Flames-Stars has been a battle … but has it been boring?
DALLAS — Are you not entertained?!?
With roughly a gazillion goals being scored elsewhere, there’s been some moaning and groaning from afar about the stingy, structured style of this first-round series between the Flames and Stars.
Apparently, not everybody outside of Calgary and Dallas considers this tight-checking two-step to be must-see TV.
It’s been a battle, for sure.
But has it been boring?
“Some people obviously don’t watch these games,” said Flames skipper Darryl Sutter prior to Game 4 at American Airlines Center. “If you talked to the 20,000 people that went to the games in Calgary and 18,500 that were here the other night, go ask them. Don’t go off what somebody says on TV or social media or any of that. Just ask them.”

Underdogs? Gaudreau thinking that way as Flames shoot to even series with Stars
DALLAS — Few figured that the Calgary Flames would fall behind in this first-round series.
Then again …
“I think we were kind of underdogs all year,” insisted Flames superstar Johnny Gaudreau. “Nobody expected us to be where we’re at right now. So just keep that same mindset like we’ve had all year, and I think we’ll be fine.”
If the Flames are feeling any frustration, any fret, it certainly wasn’t showing as they refocused for Game 4 against the Dallas Stars.

‘Support the boys’: Flames fans make trek to Dallas for Games 3 and 4
Before the puck dropped in Texas for Game 3 of the Calgary Flames’ first-round clash against the Dallas Stars, Flames loyalists made their presence known.

During the pre-game American anthem, fans in the stands could be heard yelling out the words “see” and “red” alongside the anthem singer at the American Airlines Center.
It’s a tradition travelling Flames fanatics brought south of the border, in which those words in the U.S. anthem are emphasized at the Scotiabank Saddledome in recognition of the Sea of Red.
A few hundred Flames fans were in Dallas for Saturday night’s Game 3 clash, estimated Ervin Bata, who made the trip to attend the game with friend and fellow Flames fan JP Hoyeck.
For Bata, the trip was in support of a team he’s hoping will have a deep playoff run this spring.

In fact, Matthew has already dropped his gloves twice in a playoff run that is only a week old.
In the second minute of Game 3, he tussled with Stars blue-liner John Klingberg. They’d also tangled on the first shift a couple nights earlier, but were only assessed minors. (Tkachuk danced during the opener with Michael Raffl.)
“Last game, I wasn’t expecting it,” Tkachuk said. “But I got chased around from the first second I was out there, so I’m like, ‘Alright, perfect.’ ”
Maybe not perfect for mom.

There was superstar winger Johnny Gaudreau, all alone with the tying tally on his tape, a golden opportunity to turn a Saturday slugfest into Sunday morning sudden-death.

Gaudreau had eyes on a blocker-side spot.
Jake Oettinger, the last line of defence for the Dallas Stars, had other ideas. With a pivotal save, the breakout backstop preserved the victory. Thanks to a late empty-netter, it finished 4-2 for the hosts at American Airlines Center.
“We had a breakaway with, what, two or three minutes left?” said Flames skipper Darryl Sutter, his squad now trailing by a 2-1 count in this first-round series. “Those guys have to put it away. That’s their job.”
Nobody is saying that Saturday’s loss is all Gaudreau’s fault, but the Hart Trophy candidate could have helped to author a much happier ending. | https://calgarysun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/calgary-flames/flames-playoff-update-flames-win-4-1-last-night-to-even-series-at-2-flames-register-most-shots-ever-in-non-overtime-playoff-game | 2022-05-10T14:31:51Z | https://calgarysun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/calgary-flames/flames-playoff-update-flames-win-4-1-last-night-to-even-series-at-2-flames-register-most-shots-ever-in-non-overtime-playoff-game | true | 2 |

Former England footballer Ashley Cole told police “I knew now, I am going to die” as masked raiders smashed into his home and tied his hands while he was holding his young daughter, a court has heard.
Nottingham Crown Court was shown footage of the ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and Derby defender recalling how a minimum of four men broke into his Surrey home in January 2020 shortly after he had settled down to watch Netflix. Mr Cole told police: “I was on my knees, waiting to either be killed… I’ll never see my kids again.”
Kurtis Dilks, 34, is charged with being part of the gang who allegedly smashed their way into Mr Cole and his partner Sharon Canu’s home with a sledgehammer and threatened to cut the ex-footballer’s fingers off. Mr Cole said he had just got back from work with Chelsea’s under-15s before hearing a “banging sound”.

He told police: “As soon as I put Netflix on, literally 10 to 15 seconds after that, I heard like a banging sound. I could hear it was like outside of my bedroom, just to the left, coming through the window. The banging was vibrating up the walls into my bedroom.
“I literally looked at Sharon… and I said ‘what’s that?' She said ‘I don’t know but that’s not a normal noise’. I got off the bed and said to her ‘this is why I should keep a weapon, like a golf club, in my bedroom’.”
Mr Cole said he then looked at the cameras on his phone to see if he could identify the intruders. He said: “I could see they were carrying a ladder towards my balcony. I said ‘Sharon, there’s someone in the garden trying to get on the balcony… call the police’.”
Recalling what happened when he stepped out on to his balcony, Mr Cole said: “I swore at them and shouted ‘help me, someone is trying to get into my house’ and they turned and went to run away.” He continued: “Now I see a minimum of four running from a bush which is probably 15 yards away or so.
“They half-shouted ‘agh’ and charged towards my bottom windows. I knew now, I am going to die. I have got my kids in the house and I have no one to help. I tried to shout on the balcony as loud as I could. I just looked at (Ms Canu) and said ‘there’s people coming in the house, get the kids and call the police’. She was shook and a little bit scared.”
Mr Cole told police that he went to get his daughter while Ms Canu went to get their son. He said: “I thought if I hide maybe they’re going to be more angry and if I have got my baby on my lap they won’t hurt us.”
The former England defender then appeared to get emotional as he put his hands on his face, before saying: “I said it wouldn’t affect me, but Jesus.”
'I was on my knees... waiting to be killed'
Continuing to recall what happened, Mr Cole said: “I was on my knees, waiting to either be killed… I’ll never see my kids again, and I just heard lots of footsteps running up the stairs. Obviously before that I heard the window smash. I was being brave, I didn’t want to show our daughter that I was scared for our lives.”
Recalling what happened after the intruders made their way upstairs, Mr Cole said one of the men started swearing at him and told him to get up, "give all the jewels" and to take him to his safe.
Mr Cole said: “By then he’s grabbed me by the neck and I have got my daughter in my arms. He said ‘let go of the baby’ and I said ‘I’m not leaving my little girl here… I’m not going to leave my baby’. I’m trying to protect my daughter – he could see I wasn’t getting up easily and he was pushing my head forwards a little bit harder and said ‘give me your arms, put your hands behind your back’. His hand was always on my neck."
Mr Cole added: “Now he’s getting a little bit forceful – he put my hands behind my back and I shuffle towards the door. I said ‘look, just take everything, just leave me and my family alone’. Now my partner is at my door and is saying ‘leave him alone, leave him alone’.
“By then, he’s now put these ties (on me) – they were black, long and thick. I remember him putting them on behind my back and he did it and tied it… really tight. He’s picked me up by my arms and obviously still held my neck.
“I’m still in my pants and I remember thinking ‘what’s going to happen?’ I can see Sharon is crying. My son, he’s seen my hands being tied behind my back, and I looked at him and saw his face – he was just white.”
Dilks faces three charges of conspiracy to commit burglary, four charges of converting criminal property, three charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and two counts of robbery. Nine other men are also on trial for their alleged part in the series of “ruthlessly executed” burglaries – including the theft of a £3.5 million tiara.
The trial continues. | https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/ashley-cole-thought-going-killed-23917210 | 2022-05-10T14:34:44Z | https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/ashley-cole-thought-going-killed-23917210 | true | 8 |
Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams has very much become the unexpected man of the moment thanks to a very naked picture of him on stage doing the rounds on social media.
(If you thought the most shocking story of the day was the Wagatha Christie trial in London, think again, celeb fans.)
Yes, social media was well and truly blowing up after footage of the actor on stage in Take Me Out, his Broadway debut, in which he appears nude, emerged on Tuesday.
And you’d better believe thirsty punters are flocking to share their thoughts. And there are a whole heap of thoughts.
While earlier in the day Jesse received a Tony nomination for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a play, for his portrayal of lead character Darren Lemming in the production, which opened in April, come night people were seeing his role trend for a whole other reason.
It seems that while audience members are reportedly required to place their phones in locked sleeves to prevent recording during the show (now we know why), one flouted the rules and snapped a video of the actor on stage.
In the footage, Jesse was seen in a shower scene completely starkers, which really puts the anatomy into Grey’s Anatomy, right? (Sorry, we had to).
We can only imagine tickets are selling like hotcakes for the production, but for those who haven’t managed to snap up a seat there is always Twitter, with many losing their breakfast over the leaked footage.
One punter wrote on social media: ‘Jesse Williams Tony campaign is in full swing I see,’ as another noted: ‘Jesse Williams really has me wondering is that what they be doing in all these Broadway plays??’
‘Jessie Williams just single handily brought them ticket sells up 100% and I can only imagine what his DMs looking like rn [sic],’ one very accurate tweet suggested.
It seems Jesse is aware of the interest in the scene in question, after the star appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen this week and was asked about the shower scene.
He said: ‘A non-reaction is a really interesting reaction. The quiet, you know. Creates a lot of insecurity.’
Jesse added that you can’t ‘read into’ the reaction from the audience because that only ‘creates more insecurity’.
Much of Take Me Out – written by Richard Greenberg – is set in the locker room of a professional baseball team, with an all-male cast that explores themes of homophobia, racism, class, and masculinity in sports. It’s currently on at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York until June 11.
The show also stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Patrick J Adams, who insisted his former Suits co-star Meghan Markle will get an invitation to the show.
Having previously stripped down during a production of 9 Circles, Patrick told ET Online: ‘She certainly was at the play where I was naked and she had a good time making fun of me after,’ before he added ‘she’ll certainly get an invitation’ to this production: ‘So, maybe she’d like a repeat performance.’
He added: ‘I would love for Meghan to come and enjoy the show.’ | https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/10/jesse-williams-trends-after-full-frontal-footage-leaks-from-broadway-play-16618758/ | 2022-05-10T14:37:06Z | https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/10/jesse-williams-trends-after-full-frontal-footage-leaks-from-broadway-play-16618758/ | false | 1 |
Dear Amy: My younger sister is 54. She has been divorced three times and has a teenage daughter.
Both of our parents are deceased. My sister currently has a nice boyfriend she has lived with for a few years.
The issue is that she cannot seem to keep a job for longer than a year. She has been terminated from at least six jobs (that I can count) in the last 10 years.
Although she blames others for these terminations, it is obvious that she is the problem.
I want to discuss this with her without her getting defensive.
I am recently comfortably retired and always feel somewhat guilty about her financial problems. I’ve had people tell me not to worry about her, because she always lands on her feet.
One therapist told me: “Not my monkey, not my circus,” which helped for a few years — but every time she loses another job my heart sinks.
People are also reading…
Any suggestions on how to help her realize that she is the common denominator when it comes to losing these good jobs and to figure out what she is doing wrong?
— Worried Older Sister
Dear Worried: My inexpert observation is that often within a family system, the people who might benefit the most from therapy are the least likely to seek it, while those around them seek professional help for how to manage the challenges of the troubled relationship.
I would not use the terminology your therapist used, but I do agree with the thinking behind it.
It is natural for you to want to take care of your younger sister. You probably absorbed this very basic lesson in childhood. This is both the joy and the burden of your birth order.
However, your sister is not asking to be taken care of. She is not asking to be “fixed.” And you not only want to try to fix her, but you’d also like to control her reaction to your efforts.
She likely believes that if the rest of the world would only line up and play fair with her, then she would receive the credit and stability she believes she deserves.
However, if she currently enjoys a stable and positive home life, then she is a success along the most important metric by which human beings can be measured. Her partner is a nice guy who presumably loves her, her daughter is growing, and she has a caring older sister who is in her life. She is likely crafty and resourceful in that she lands on her feet after every failure. All good!
If your sister ever asks you for your perspective, you should offer it.
Until that day, you should relax into your big sister role and accept your flawed but scrappy younger sister, just as she is.
•••
Dear Amy: Sometimes, when my husband and I fight, it’s because I’ve been clumsy and done or said something impolite.
He responds in kind, and then insists on an apology, which I give.
But when I ask him to apologize for his unkind reaction to my behavior, he says, “You started it, so I don’t need to apologize.”
That is how all of our fights end: With him getting an apology and me getting nothing. Do you agree that the person who “started it” should never receive any apology?
— One-sided
Dear One-sided: None of what you two do would be considered “fighting fair.” This seems more like score-settling than mature adults offering sincere apologies and receiving forgiveness.
If you two were in kindergarten and you deliberately hit your husband with a ball, and then he picked it up and hit you right back, a teacher would ask you both to apologize to one another, because you’ve both done something you shouldn’t have done that has hurt the other.
To me, the basic geometry of your interactions seems imbalanced.
But apologies, forgiveness, and reconciliation are not points on a protractor.
You two should not only settle scores, but actually attempt to reconcile and rebalance. And this man who values apologies so much should learn how to offer one.
•••
Dear Amy: “Snacked” wrote to you about her husband’s refusal to offer their grandchild healthy snacks. I loved this line: “Kids ... can happily eat broccoli trees dipped in yogurt — until Mr. Oreo comes to town.”
But don’t you think parents take this “healthy snacking” thing a little too far?
— Wondering
Dear Wondering: Anything can be taken too far. But overall — I think this “healthy snacking” trend is an extremely positive step.

BOCA RATON, Fla., May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) today released its performance metrics for the US workers compensation system for 2021. Private carrier plus state fund net written premium increased about 1% to $43 billion in 2021 (private carrier premium alone was $38B). Private carriers again posted a profitable Calendar Year 2021 combined ratio of 87. It is the fifth consecutive year with a combined ratio below 90 for the workers compensation insurance market and the eighth consecutive year of underwriting profitability.
"The strength and resilience of the workers compensation system is a point of pride for all stakeholders," said Bill Donnell, President and CEO of NCCI. "As the workforce and workplaces are changing, the industry must step up again to fulfill its noble responsibility: helping injured workers."
"Strong employment and significant wage growth are fueling workers compensation payroll increases," NCCI Chief Actuary Donna Glenn added. "We have a remarkably strong and healthy system right now."
Additional key insights in NCCI's State of the Line Report include:
- Lost-time claim frequency data suggests the long-term decline has continued, despite a rise in frequency in 2021. Since 2019, frequency declined slightly.
- The 2021 changes in indemnity and medical claim severity are expected to be flat.
- The number of COVID-19 claims declined in 2021 relative to the prior year.
- Workers compensation reserves grew to $16 billion redundant as of year-end 2021.
Glenn issued the State of the Line Report at NCCI's Annual Insights Symposium on May 10 in Orlando, FL.
The State of the Line Report and State of the Line Guide are available now at ncci.com/AIS.

RACINE — On a frosty April morning, a bundled Gov. Tony Evers stood alongside a handful of other dignitaries to celebrate a major transit accomplishment for the city: the introduction of nine electric transit buses, totaling 25% of the city’s fleet.
Evers spoke from a small podium, flanked by two of the city’s prized electric buses.
“I know Wisconsin is ready to embrace a future where we don't have to choose between mitigating climate change and protecting our environment and good paying jobs and economic development,” the Democratic governor told the crowd of a few dozen people. “We can and will do both.”
Since January 2019, Evers has used the vast reach of his office to engage Wisconsin in the fight against climate change.
In one of his early acts in office, Evers joined the U.S. Climate Alliance, committing Wisconsin to the Paris climate agreement despite former President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the accord. Soon after, the governor created the Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy and asked it to develop a road map for the state to get to 100% carbon-free electricity consumption by 2050. Last month, the office released its plan for Wisconsin to achieve that goal.
By the end of his first year, Evers had established a task force on climate change. Chaired by Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, the task force made dozens of recommendations to the governor and the Republican-controlled Legislature on steps the state can take to combat climate change.
He launched the Stronger Wisconsin initiative “to build a more resilient Wisconsin in the face of our changing climate,” directed the state Department of Natural Resources to plant 75 million trees by 2030 to help mitigate climate change and, last month, created the Office of Environmental Justice to "provide strategies to promote environmentally just policies and prevent disparate outcomes in communities across the state.”
But Evers' efforts have come without the support of the Republican-controlled Legislature, which has seemed disinterested in engaging with his climate task force’s recommendations and other measures to curb the influence of climate change on the state.
In the most recent legislative session, at least 32 environmental-related bills were introduced in the Legislature — many of them with Republican sponsors, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau. However, just two of the bills — one of which was the state budget — became law.
Evers says he isn’t bothered by legislative leaders’ unwillingness to engage on these issues. Speaking to the Cap Times from inside one of Racine’s electric transit buses, the governor said it’s “absolutely” the focus of his administration — even if he has to go it alone — to implement as many of the task force’s recommendations as possible.
“I've come to the belief that if people don't believe in climate change, that's not gonna make any difference,” he said when asked how the state can stage an effective fight against climate change without legislative action. “I don’t even worry about that anymore, to be honest.”
He said Wisconsinites want a more sustainable future, and public sentiment will push companies and lawmakers to take action.
Little appetite for climate legislation
A Marquette University Law School poll from August 2021 found that 58% of respondents believed climate change would have a major or minor impact on “on the future of life in Wisconsin.”
Both lawmakers and lobbyists cite the same reason when asked why climate legislation so frequently stalls out: politics.
Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer, D-Racine, said it is “really demoralizing to see nothing moved forward in the Legislature this session,” especially for those who have spent years advocating for more action on climate change. (Neubauer has attributed lawmakers’ inaction on climate change as one of several factors that pushed her to run for public office.)
Neubauer cited a handful of measures — bills focused on charging stations for electric vehicles and regulations related to solar energy — backed by Republicans that did make some progress in the Legislature as cause for optimism. But ultimately, those measures failed to become law.
Sen. Rob Cowles, R-Green Bay, made similar assertions to the Cap Times.
“We did make progress on several fronts,” Cowles said. “But unfortunately, this stuff has become political. It’s too bad. The way I look at it, it’s just common sense. To protect your resources and preserve them, and to use less of our resources in an economic way, that makes a lot of sense to me.”
But, he continued: “Not everybody agrees with that.”
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, did not respond to an interview request.
Scott Coenen, executive director of the Wisconsin Conservative Energy Forum, offered a different perspective in a recent interview.
“I don't know that we know how to speak to people that aren't in our bubble anymore at all,” he said of liberals and conservatives trying to work together. “I think we've lost that ability, for some reason, over the last few years. It's hard to regain that.”
He also pointed out that mitigating climate change and transitioning to clean energy are not issues that motivate Republican voters.
“Climate change hasn't really been a primary vote motivator of right-of-center voters in Wisconsin or across the country. So the Republican legislators respond to that, obviously.” Coenen said. “It hasn’t been a really high priority for Republican legislators because I don't particularly think it's a very high priority for Republican voters right or more right of center conservative voters.”
Another renewable energy advocate, Michael Vickerman, policy director for nonprofit RENEW Wisconsin, also said advancing renewable energy-related legislation was currently unappetizing to lawmakers in the Legislature.
But, Vickerman said, it had less to do with which party introduced a measure, and more with the influence of outside lobbying groups.
Using the EV charging bill as an example, Vickerman said “greed and pettiness” from special interest groups “put restrictions into that legislation and made it politically unpalatable for quite a few entities that otherwise would have supported the bill.”
The path forward
Neubauer, Cowles and Coenen all identified a path forward for climate change mitigation and renewable energy-related legislation: repackaging the bills as economic measures.
They all told the Cap Times that investing in the green economy and embracing renewable energy sources would bring high-paying jobs to the state and help reduce costs for consumers.
Neubauer, who as minority leader will have to persuade colleagues across the aisle to advance any legislation, said “the green economy is one of the biggest job creators, if not the biggest, in the country right now.”
The International Labour Organization, a United Nations agency, estimates that 18 million new jobs can be created worldwide this decade if countries transition to renewable energy sources.
“Why would we not be taking advantage of that opportunity to create those good jobs?” Neubauer asked.
Cowles agreed that pushing the economic benefits of climate-related legislation could help get it through the Legislature. He said there are “tons of jobs connected to” the green economy, and lawmakers should try to empower businesses to bring them into the state.
He also said employees want to work for companies that are committed to a more sustainable future. So pressure from employees and consumers will help push companies to adopt more sustainable practices even if legislative action does not.
Coenen also said repackaging the bills and the positives attached to them could help them advance through the Legislature. He said climate change is a “trigger term” for some people — a nod back to his point that people with different ideological backgrounds can’t talk to one another anymore — so he focuses more on “the policy discussion” when speaking with conservative-leaning Wisconsinites about renewable energy sources.
“If I bring up climate change, I know that shuts a certain number of people in the room off,” he said, adding that he instead pushes the arguments that renewable energy can cut costs for consumers and make the state’s power grid more efficient. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, he has also pitched these measures as critical to national security.
Put together, he said, those are approaches that can get the attention of lawmakers.
“I'm hopeful that … we'll get there in the next few years,” Coenen said of advancing policies that empower the use of renewable energy in the state.
Local governments step up
Even as statewide steps to reduce climate change are limited to executive action, municipalities across Wisconsin are taking action.
In Racine, for example, Mayor Cory Mason has committed the city to reducing emissions in line with the goals of the Paris climate agreement.
The city’s decision to electrify nine of its 36 transit buses is a step in that direction. The electric buses in Racine will result in the burning of 56,000 less gallons of diesel fuel per year, saving the city almost $60,000 along the way.
And the city isn’t stopping there, said Racine Transit Manager Trevor Jung. Its new goal is to have a 100% electric bus fleet.
“We're one of the largest diesel burning institutions in our community,” Jung said. “In the transit industry, because we're in the business of mobility, we use technology that's available to us and that is affordable to us in order to make sure that we meet the needs of our residents. And for a long time, that's involved burning fossil fuels.”
But now, with the influx of federal funding and lawsuit settlements, the city was able to invest in electric bus technology to serve constituents in a cleaner, more efficient way.
Jung noted that funds the city used to purchase its nine electric buses came from Republican administrations at both the state and federal levels. He said improving transit, because it is “so basic to the needs of our residents,” is an effort lawmakers from both sides of the aisle can get behind.
Jessica Price, the city of Madison’s sustainability and resilience manager, said local municipalities can stage an effective fight against climate change while state lawmakers settle their differences.
“Local governments have a lot of ability to take action in our own operations” to cut back on emissions, she told the Cap Times. “We can really sort of walk the walk in taking action on all the things that we see that we want everybody to be doing.”
She pointed to vehicle fleet electrification and making municipal buildings more efficient — 47% of greenhouse gas emissions in Madison come from commercial and residential buildings — as ways to fight climate change at the local level.
“We have to get our own house in order,” she said, adding that local governments' ability to take action faster than state governments can lead to wider change. | https://captimes.com/news/government/tony-evers-targets-climate-change-despite-lack-of-legislative-support/article_85dfea44-a5df-5a7f-a7b2-5cd1c7b2c4b1.html | 2022-05-10T14:48:19Z | https://captimes.com/news/government/tony-evers-targets-climate-change-despite-lack-of-legislative-support/article_85dfea44-a5df-5a7f-a7b2-5cd1c7b2c4b1.html | true | 1 |
News brief: access to abortion, jobless report preview, Northern Ireland election
Abortion access could become illegal or restricted in about half of all U.S. states if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. At least 25 states are likely to ban abortion immediately if the court's ruling matches the leaked draft opinion. That's because various laws and constitutional amendments already in place...

The 54-member Assembly of the Kadjebi District Assembly in the Oti Region, has failed to elect a new Presiding Member (PM) of the area after two separate voting exercises.
In the first round of the polls, Mr. Noah Kwame Wadja a government appointee and contestant garnered 31 votes out of 54 votes cast while Mr. Philip Obornie, Assemblyman for Dodo- Amanfrom North Electoral Area, secured 20 votes, with two rejected votes.
By this, neither of the two candidates secured the two-thirds mandate to be elected.
Mr. Justice Odame-Frimpong, the Kadjebi District Electoral Officer said since none had gotten the required number, it called for another poll within ten days starting from the day the first election was held.
The house, therefore, agreed to hold the second round of voting in a desperate move to complete the exercise.
During the second round of voting, Mr Noah Kwame Wadja, polled 32 votes, representing 59.2 percent, while his contender polled 21 votes, representing 38.8 percent.
By this development, the two candidates still failed to get the two-thirds mandate to assume the PM position.
Mr. Alhassan Sulemana, the Secretary to the Assembly before the polls, appealed to the assembly members to build consensus since the local government system hinges on that.
Mr. Wadja, a contestant, urged his colleagues to vote for him to help move the assembly forward because development was a shared responsibility.
Mr. Philip Obornie called on the assembly members to vote for him to revive the dormant Area Councils to help generate enough Internally- Generated Fund (IGF) for the development of the district.
The voting exercise would be restaged after 10 days to elect the PM. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Kadjebi-Assembly-fails-to-elect-new-Presiding-Member-1534523 | 2022-05-10T14:51:02Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Kadjebi-Assembly-fails-to-elect-new-Presiding-Member-1534523 | true | 3 |

Fact check: Tennessee didn’t ban Plan B morning-after pill
By Daniel Dale, CNN
A former Democratic congressional candidate went viral on Twitter over the weekend with a false claim that Tennessee has banned Plan B, a pregnancy-preventing emergency contraceptive known as a “morning-after pill.”
Pam Keith’s inaccurate tweet came five days after Politico revealed a February draft opinion in which a Supreme Court majority appeared poised to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision of 1973. The news has raised questions about both the state-by-state future of abortion rights and whether some conservative states might try to restrict some forms of contraception.
“Tennessee just banned Plan B and made it a crime punishable by a $50,000 fine to order it,” Keith, a lawyer who ran unsuccessfully in Florida for the US Senate in 2016 and the House of Representatives in 2018 and 2020, tweeted on Saturday.
Facts First: Keith’s claim is wrong in two significant ways. First, Tennessee has not banned Plan B or created any fine for residents who order it. Rather, Tennessee law bans people and businesses from providing abortion medication by mail, courier or delivery; Plan B, which prevents pregnancy in the first place, is not abortion medication. Second, Tennessee law doesn’t allow people to be fined for ordering even abortion medication. The bill signed by Gov. Bill Lee last week makes it a felony, punishable by a fine up to $50,000, for providers of abortion medication to “intentionally, knowingly or recklessly” break the law against dispensing that medication by mail, courier or delivery — but the law explicitly exempts patients from penalties.
Keith’s tweet had been retweeted more than 26,000 times and shared in an additional 12,000-plus quote tweets as of Monday afternoon. Keith deleted it after CNN reached her by phone and asked if she planned to delete or issue a correction.
“I will admit my interpretation of it was mistaken,” Keith said after CNN explained what the law does say. She also said: “I didn’t claim to be a doctor, nor do I claim to be in Tennessee. … I, in no way and no shape, had claimed to an expert on Tennessee’s emerging law.”
Before Keith’s deletion, the claim had also been debunked by The Tennessean newspaper, by other journalists and by various Twitter users — but it had also alarmed some Tennessee residents.
Nina Gurak, policy director at Healthy and Free Tennessee, an organization that fights for “reproductive freedom,” said in an email that misinformation about the new law had caused “a lot of confusion” among Tennesseans in their network, prompting the organization to issue a clarifying statement on Instagram.
What the Tennessee law does say
Even before the bill that Lee signed last week, Tennessee law required abortion medication to be dispensed only by doctors and only in person, preventing distribution via telehealth appointment or by pharmacists. The new law increases the potential penalties for violators — but it says, “A criminal penalty shall not be assessed against a patient upon whom a chemical abortion is attempted or performed.”
Gurak said: “The new law does very little except enhance criminal penalties for providers.”
Gurak added that exempting abortion patients from penalties doesn’t prevent them from potentially being pressured into providing information on the providers of the medication they obtained. Regardless, the law’s text makes it clear that it does not impose restrictions on Plan B.
The law defines “abortion-inducing drug” — medication that Tennessee requires be distributed by doctors in person — to mean medication “provided with the intent of terminating the clinically diagnosable pregnancy of a patient, with knowledge that the termination will, with reasonable likelihood, cause the death of the unborn child.”
Plan B is provided to prevent a pregnancy, not to terminate a pregnancy, and it is intended to be taken 72 hours or less from unprotected sex or a contraceptive accident, before pregnancy can be clinically diagnosed.
The law also says that “abortion-inducing drug” includes “the off-label use of drugs known to have abortion-inducing properties that are prescribed specifically with the intent of causing an abortion, such as mifepristone, misoprostol, and methotrexate.” It does not mention levonorgestrel, the medication popularly branded as Plan B, which is not prescribed to cause abortion.
The new law takes effect at the beginning of 2023. Tennessee also has a so-called trigger law that would ban most abortions as of 30 days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, with an exception for the life of the patient but not for pregnancies created through rape or incest.

FSA still wary despite Queen’s Speech promise of regulator for English football
The Football Supporters’ Association has welcomed the inclusion of an independent regulator of English football in the Queen’s Speech but warned it is “not over the line yet”.
Conservative MP Tracey Crouch published her fan-led review of English football last November and one of the key recommendations included the creation of an independent regulator to ensure the game’s financial sustainability.
The Government formally endorsed the recommendation made in the review at the end of April, but the reference to it by Prince Charles in Tuesday’s speech is another positive step forward in ensuring the legislation will be implemented.
The Queen’s Speech gives Government the opportunity to set out laws it intends to pass and there had been fears, if it was not included, that a further delay to one of Crouch’s main recommendations could occur. While that is now not likely to be the case, the efforts continue for it to be brought in soon.
FSA chair Malcolm Clarke said in a statement released to the PA news agency: “We welcome the commitment to a new independent regulator of English football – the fan-led review kick-started this but it’s not over the line yet.
“The regulator has to ensure that a club’s long-term financial sustainability is at the heart of all decision-making and legislation can also protect club heritages.
“Supporters have a huge role to play in helping shape the regulator and those powers – this has the potential to be a huge step forward for our game.”
Crouch also welcomed the commitment in the Queen’s Speech to bring in one of her key recommendations.
She said in a tweet: “Proposals will be brought forward to establish an independent regulator of English Football” – Queen’s Speech, May 2022 Hurrah!”
Earlier in the day, the FSA had published a short statement on its Twitter page after the mention of creating an independent regulator of English Football in the State Opening of Parliament ceremony at the House of Lord’s.
“The Queen’s Speech commits Government to a new independent regulator for English football which will “protect clubs’ long-term financial sustainability in the interests of clubs and fans,” an FSA statement read.
“A potentially huge step forward for our game.”

Boris Johnson has cemented the Government’s intention to privatise Channel 4, saying the sale will “unleash the potential of the UK’s creative sector”.
The comments formed part of the Prime Minister’s introduction to the Queen’s Speech, which was read by the Prince of Wales at the State Opening of Parliament in the first ceremony not attended by the monarch in nearly 60 years.
Among the 38 Bills in the Government’s new legislative programme is the Media Bill, which pledges to “reform decades-old laws” to “offer a boost to public service broadcasters” and also contains the contentious privatisation of Channel 4.
Channel 4 has been publicly owned since its creation in 1982 by the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher, and is entirely funded by advertising.
The Government said the Media Bill will enable a change of ownership to give the broadcaster “the tools it needs to succeed in the future as a public service broadcaster while protecting its distinctiveness”.
The main elements section of the Bill mentions allowing the broadcaster to switch from a “statutory corporation to a new corporate structure that could be sold” and “other changes concerning Channel 4’s obligations and remit to ensure the sustainability of the broadcaster”.
Further benefits of the Media Bill, the Government says, will be ensuring due prominence for content from public service broadcasters, so that it is always “carried and easy to find for UK audiences on connected devices and major online platforms” and also on other devices like smart TVs, set-top boxes and streaming sticks.
The Bill also cements the recently announced plans for Ofcom to regulate streaming platforms to “protect audiences” from “harmful material”, as stated in last month’s White Paper.
Under the legislation, as previously announced, the media regulator will have powers to draft and enforce a new video-on-demand code, aimed at setting standards for “larger TV-like services” such as Netflix, ITV Hub and Now TV to level the rules with traditional broadcasters.
The maximum fine for a breach of the code will be £250,000 or an amount up to 5% of the company’s revenue – whichever is higher.
Ofcom will also be given a “strengthened duty” to assess protection such as age ratings and viewer guidance, with powers to force change under the new proposal.
The Bill also mentions repealing Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, a provision which, if commenced, allows courts to make media organisations not signed up to a recognised regulator pay all costs in defamation, privacy, malicious falsehood and harassment claims, even if they win.
The powers under Section 40 are enforceable only if there is a recognised regulator.
The Press Recognition Panel (PRP), an independent body established under the Royal Charter to recognise press regulators, recognises only one body currently – Impress, which oversees 116 publishers, its website says.
An additional body in the UK is the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso), a voluntary press-funded body not backed by the Government.
Ipso was launched in 2014 in the wake of the Leveson Inquiry, which concluded that the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) was not working. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/politics/4273991/media-bill-to-give-channel-4-tools-it-needs-to-succeed-in-the-future/ | 2022-05-10T15:00:11Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/politics/4273991/media-bill-to-give-channel-4-tools-it-needs-to-succeed-in-the-future/ | true | 8 |

Cops Say MSU Star Adreian Payne Shot And Killed Following Dispute Outside Home
MSU Star Adreian Payne Shot And Killed Following Dispute ... Outside FL Residence
5/10/2022 7:29 AM PT
Police say Adreian Payne -- a former Michigan State men's basketball star -- was shot and killed on Monday after he had a dispute with a man outside of a residence in Florida.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office spelled out the allegations in new court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, saying the killing happened a short time after Payne had arrived at Lawrence Dority's home in Orlando on Sunday night/early Monday morning.
According to the documents, a witness told cops she believed Payne had pulled up to the house to possibly play "mediator" between Dority and his girlfriend, who the witness said, "have a relationship where they argue often."
Cops say witnesses told them 29-year-old Dority ended up confronting Payne outside of the home when he arrived a short time after Payne got there.
In the docs, cops say Dority told them Payne "had no business being at his residence this late at night." Cops say Dority added that he took the former NBA player's "presence as a threat."
Police say Dority told them at one point during his conversation with Payne, the 6-foot-10 basketball player made "movements with his right hand in the right side of his waistband." Cops say Dority told them Payne then said "I'll smoke you bra."
According to cops, Dority immediately went into his home, grabbed a firearm, went back outside, and fired one round at Payne, before he returned to his residence. Cops say Dority said he was "protecting his family and protecting his home" -- and added that "his actions were justified."
In the docs, cops say 31-year-old Payne was struck by the gunfire and was later transported to a local hospital, but died there from his injuries.
Officers say following their immediate investigation -- which included interviews with witnesses and a review of surveillance footage -- they determined Payne was "not threatening Dority in any way." They said he had no firearm in his possession, and claimed Dority's "act was a premeditated killing."
Dority was ultimately arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm. Court records show he pled not guilty to the charge on Tuesday. Jail records show he's still behind bars. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/05/10/cops-say-adreian-payne-shot-and-killed-following-dispute-outside-fl-residence/ | 2022-05-10T15:03:35Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/05/10/cops-say-adreian-payne-shot-and-killed-following-dispute-outside-fl-residence/ | true | 1 |
Peloton: Down 80% In 6 Months, But Don't Buy This Dip, Avoid
Summary
- Peloton's stock is down 80% in 6 months. As I've been arguing consistently, avoid this name.
- Peloton doesn't just burn calories. It also burns through cash. A lot of cash. In fact, it burns 79 cents of free cash flow for every $1 of revenue.
- Peloton is a stock that I've declared to be overvalued and with potential shareholder dilution on the cards. Yesterday, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs sourced Peloton with much-needed cash.
- By my estimates, Peloton will need to dilute shareholders within 3 quarters.
- As always, happy to discuss my thesis further in the comments section.
- Looking for a helping hand in the market? Members of Deep Value Returns get exclusive ideas and guidance to navigate any climate. Learn More »
Investment Thesis
Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTON) reports Q3 2022 results that show that it's burning through a meaningful amount of free cash flow.
For Q3 2022, for every $1 of revenue, Peloton burns through 79 cents of free cash flow.
At this point in time, it's important to remember David Einhorn's quote:
What do you call a stock that's down 90%? A stock that was down 80% and then got cut in half.
I hereby maintain my sell rating on this stock.
Revenue Growth Rates Turn South
Talk about Covid losers. Peloton's revenue growth rates are now meaningfully negative. The guidance for Q4 points to negative 25% y/y revenue growth rates. It's difficult to imagine now that just a few quarters ago Peloton had triple-digit revenue growth rates.
As you can see above, analysts were expecting that for Q4 2022 Peloton's revenue growth rates would be down 12%.
However, Peloton's own guidance for Q4 now points to a negative 25% y/y decrease in revenue growth rates. This is a 1,300 basis point deceleration from analysts' estimates.
Peloton's Near-Term Prospects
Peloton was once viewed as a growth stock. Now, it's playing for survival. Peloton's new CEO Barry McCarthy, calls this turnaround ''stimulating and engaging."
When it comes to investing, it's important to know exactly what type of company an investor is deploying capital in. A growth stock has certain characteristics, while a value trap has others. I believe that Peloton is the latter.
For their part, Peloton highlights that its subscriber churn rate is less than 1%. A clear indication that the members on the platform are engaged and content on the platform.
That being said, the guidance for Q4 points to subscriber growth numbers being up just 1% sequentially from Q3 2022. Again, everything depends on the perception that investors have of the company. Is it a growth stock or a cigar butt?
Path to Profitability Discussed
Let's analyze Peloton's profitability over time. In Q3 of last year, Peloton's EBITDA margins were 5%, while Q3 of this year EBITDA margins turned to a negative 20%.
Similarly, for Q4 2021, its EBITDA margin was negative 5%, while the guidance for Q4 of this year drops to negative 16%.
Consequently, there's no doubt that Peloton's path to profitability is struggling to move in the right direction.
Similarly, consider this, during Q3 2022, Peloton's free cash flow was negative $746 million. Given that the business only grew revenues to $946 million during Q3, it feels like that for every $1 dollar of revenues, Peloton has to burn through 79 cents of free cash flow.
With this free cash flow burn in mind, in the next section, I'm going to explain why I believe that Peloton is still overvalued.
PTON Stock Valuation -- Still Overvalued
Approximately 3 weeks ago I wrote a sell recommendation on Peloton.
My thesis was that Peloton is burning through a massive amount of free cash flow and that it would have to resource to diluting shareholders to raise much-needed capital.
Somehow, it appears that JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs were willing to finance Peloton with $750 million worth of capital. At the time of writing, I don't know the terms. But it's difficult to envision anything but highly onerous terms. I suspect at least an 8% interest rate on this debt.
Therefore, this debt raise, together with the cash on its balance sheet of $879 million in cash and equivalents at the end of Q3, means that Peloton now has approximately $1.6 billion of cash on hand.
However, since the business is likely to burn through approximately $500 million of free cash flow in Q4 2022, this implies that by estimates, Peloton has only got enough cash on its balance sheet to withstand 3 more quarters at the present burn rate, before having to do an equity raise.
The Bottom Line
Peloton notes in its shareholder letter that the business is ''thinly capitalized for a business of our scale." Essentially, Peloton is informing shareholders that they have little choice but to raise equity.
This may have once been a darling stock. But the tide has now turned. And there's little reason to argue that the floor is now evident on the stock. Whatever you decide, good luck, and happy investing.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critter Control, an industry leader in the humane removal of nuisance wildlife, is excited to announce the grand opening of its new Northwest Arkansas franchise today. Owned and operated by first time franchisees, Matt Mitcham and Zach Pullam, the new location will serve the Benton, Conway, Crawford, Faulkner, Franklin, Garland, Hot Springs, Johnson, Logan, Perry, Pope, Pulaski, Saline, Sebastian, and Washington counties.
“Our service at Critter Control prioritizes safety for our customers and the humane treatment of local animals,” said Matt Mitcham, Co-Owner of the Arkansas franchise. “There is plenty of wildlife around looking to make their way into residents’ homes and backyards. We’re excited to serve the community to ensure their properties are protected ahead of the Spring and Summer seasons. The Critter Control leadership team has been an excellent resource that will contribute to our success and support us as we work to open our location in Arkansas.”
Arkansas habitats have a wide swath of nuisance wildlife, including raccoons, skunks, bats, opossums, mice, rats and even armadillos. These critters are going to be seeking shelter this summer and, since many communities in the state are quite literally surrounded by nature, they are likely going to settle in the homes of local residents.
“Matt, Zach and their team are well trained to handle all wildlife needs in the Northwest and Central Arkansas area,” said Joe Felegi, General Manager of Critter Control, “We have a top-notch training program at Critter Control, preparing all franchisees and employees for a wide spectrum of wildlife issues. We’re excited to see the great work they’re going to do throughout the area.”
Established in 1983, Critter Control is a nuisance wildlife removal service that prioritizes the humane removal of animals from homes and yards. With the launch of each new franchise comes an intensive, hands-on training session to ensure the success of each new franchise operator. The training sessions are held at Critter Control’s Atlanta headquarters, with simulated environments that prepare teams for any wildlife scenario. The company’s attention to safety, ongoing education and training allows its franchise owners to operate to the utmost success and confidence.
“Our goal is to better our communities by supporting not only the people who live in them, but their neighbors in nature as well,” said Zach Pullam, Co-Owner of the Arkansas franchise. “Our aim is to give the folks who live in our great state peace of mind, knowing that they can live comfortably with local wildlife, without having to support nature’s neighbors as unwanted houseguests.”
Critter Control of Northwest Arkansas will be open Monday through Friday from 7:00am – 6:00pm and Saturdays from 8:00am – 3:00pm. The franchise will be closed on Sundays with exceptions for emergencies. Residents in need of immediate services can contact the new Critter Control location at (479) 935-8036 and https://www.crittercontrol.com/office-finder/arkansas/nw-arkansas.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania’s prime minister on Tuesday visited Kosovo’s ex-president Hashim Thaci in a prison in The Netherlands, where he is being held pending trial for alleged war crimes.
Edi Rama told journalists after the meeting that Thaci believed his trial would provide a way of demonstrating “in front of justice the purity of the liberating war” that Albanian separatists fought in 1998-1999 against Serbian forces.
In 2020 Thaci resigned as Kosovo’s president and was flown to The Hague to face charges including war crimes, murder, torture and persecution — all which he has denied.
The special court in the Netherlands and a linked prosecutor’s office was established following a 2011 report by the Council of Europe, a human rights body, that included allegations that Kosovo Liberation Army fighters trafficked human organs taken from prisoners and killed Serbs and fellow ethnic Albanians. The organ harvesting allegations weren’t included in the indictment against Thaci.
Thaci, 54, was a guerrilla leader in Kosovo's war for independence from Serbia, before rising to political prominence following the conflict that killed more than 13,000 people.
Most of the dead were ethnic Albanians, and 1,617 people are still unaccounted for. A 78-day NATO air campaign against Serbian troops ended the fighting.
In 2008, Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia, a move that Belgrade refuses to recognize. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Albanian-PM-meets-Kosovo-ex-leader-held-on-war-17161962.php | 2022-05-10T15:06:01Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Albanian-PM-meets-Kosovo-ex-leader-held-on-war-17161962.php | true | 11 |

WiredGov Newswire (news from other organisations)
LGA - Council-maintained schools outperforming academies – new research reveals
Schools that stay with their council are more likely to perform better than those that convert to an academy, a new report for the Local Government Association has revealed.
The research found 92 per cent of council-maintained schools were rated outstanding or good by Ofsted as of 31 January 2022, compared to 85 per cent of academies that were graded since they converted.
The LGA, which represents councils, says this underlines the excellent track record of council-maintained schools, which will need to be convinced of the benefits of academisation. The Government intends to persuade all schools to become academies by 2030.
The research, which looked at school Ofsted ratings between August 2018 and January 2022, also found:
- only 45 per cent of academies that were an academy in August 2018 were able to improve from inadequate or requires improvement to good or outstanding, compared to 56 per cent of council-maintained schools
- 81 per cent of council-maintained schools retained their outstanding rating, compared to 72 per cent of outstanding academies that received inspections in their current form and did not inherit grades from their former maintained school status
- 28 per cent of the same academy cohort saw their outstanding rating fall compared to 19 per cent of council-maintained schools
It was good the Government announced in the Schools White Paper that councils will be allowed to set up their own multi-academy trusts (MATs), which recognises the important role of councils as partners in education improvement.
Ahead of a possible Education Bill in the Queen’s Speech today (10 May), the LGA is urging government to build on this and utilise the knowledge and expertise of councils in supporting schools to improve.
By allowing councils to create their own MATs, schools that are currently maintained can continue enjoying the benefits of a strong working relationship with their council in a fully academised school system.
The LGA says government should move quickly in letting councils set up MATS to support struggling schools and quickly add capacity in areas with a lack of strong MATs.
Cllr Anntoinette Bramble, Chair of the LGA’s Children and Young People Board, said:
“Regardless of whether a school is an academy or council-maintained, what is most important is that children receive the very best education and start in life. This is something we all aspire to achieve.
“While academisation can be a positive choice in some cases, these findings raise questions over whether a one-size-fits-all approach is a guaranteed way of improving results and strengthening a school’s performance.
“Councils continue to demonstrate an excellent track record in improving schools and it is vital government uses the Queen’s Speech to take full advantage of councils’ expertise and the key role they can play as an effective education partner.
“This is something that should develop at pace, with government working closely with councils and the LGA to improve the strength and inclusiveness of existing MATs.” | https://www.wired-gov.net/wg/news.nsf/articles/lga+councilmaintained+schools+outperforming+academies++new+research+reveals+10052022094000?open | 2022-05-10T15:08:47Z | https://www.wired-gov.net/wg/news.nsf/articles/lga+councilmaintained+schools+outperforming+academies++new+research+reveals+10052022094000?open | false | 1 |
(NBC) — America’s version of “Eurovision” crowned its first champion on Monday night.
NBC’s “American Song Contest” showcased performers from all 50 states and six U.S. territories over the past eight weeks and a performer with some unique musical roots came out on top.
A soul singer from Washington state scored big with the jury, but a K-pop singer from Oklahoma won over America with the song “Wonderland.” When the combined vote came in, 25-year-old Alex Christine, better known as “AleXa,” won the first-ever “American Song Contest” title.
“When it was announced, I think my heart just burst inside, we were all crying, just so happy and so grateful for this experience,” said AleXa.
The Tulsa-born singer moved to her mother’s homeland of South Korea after high school to pursue a K-pop career. After ringing up several hit songs there she’s now gone stateside.
“Her originality, being from Oklahoma. Like, come on K-pop, Oklahoma?” said show host Snoop Dogg.
“I did not see that coming,” added co-host Kelly Clarkson.
Colorado’s Riker Lynch finished second and Washington’s Allen Stone came in fifth overall, despite winning the jury vote of music industry professionals.
“I love the jury’s vote, Allen Stone is incredible, I loved him before this show,” said Clarkson. “But it was incredible suspense and all of a sudden, AleXa killed it.”
Her winning song will now be played on iHeartRadio stations nationwide and a special invitation awaits for Sunday night.
“I believe I’m presenting an award at the Billboard Awards which is a tremendous feat, because that makes me nervous, I don’t know who I’m going to be talking to,” said AleXa.
But for now, the talk is about AleXa and her unlikely musical roots.
“I don’t know if it’s the home of K-pop in America, but Oklahoma is, forever and always, the home of AleXa,” said AleXa.
Kentucky’s Jordan Smith who previously won Season 9 of “The Voice” came in third and Grant Knoche of Texas finished fourth.
The rest of the top ten included, Tenelle of American Samoa in sixth place, Connecticut’s Michael Bolton in seventh place, Alabama’s Ni/Co in eighth place, North Dakota’s Chloe Fredericks in ninth place and Tennessee’s Tyler Braden in 10th place. | https://www.nbc4i.com/entertainment-news/oklahomas-k-pop-singer-alexa-wins-american-song-contest/ | 2022-05-10T15:11:04Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/entertainment-news/oklahomas-k-pop-singer-alexa-wins-american-song-contest/ | true | 10 |
National Crime Agency
Third most wanted fugitive arrested in a week
A Liverpool fugitive wanted for murder who was on the National Crime Agency’s most wanted list has been arrested in Spain.
David Ungi
David Ungi, aged 30, was being sought for his suspected role in the murder of 18-year-old Vinny Waddington in Liverpool in 2015.
He was apprehended on Thursday night along with three other men as he entered a gym at a shopping centre in Coin, Malaga, as part of a joint operation involving the Spanish authorities, the National Crime Agency, Merseyside Police and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit.
Officers seized a 9mm Ruger firearm and ammunition from a rucksack.
Ungi is the third most wanted target captured in the last week – alleged murderer Callum Halpin was caught in Portugal Monday (02 May 2022), and Alex Male, wanted on drugs charges, was arrested at Lisbon airport on Saturday (07 May 2022).
Extradition proceedings are underway after he appeared at court in Malaga yesterday and was remanded in custody.
Ungi left the UK less than 24 hours after Vinny Waddington was killed in 2015.
Vinny was shot at through a car window and rammed off his motorbike on Banks Road in Garston.
Two men were convicted of the 18 year-old’s murder in 2016, but the third suspect wanted by Merseyside Police, Ungi, was still on the run.
Ungi is also wanted in connection with the supply of heroin in the Liverpool area.
Steve Reynolds, National Crime Agency regional manager in Spain, recently said:
“Three of the UK’s most wanted fugitives being arrested in a week is a fantastic achievement.
“Ungi is a very dangerous person and his arrest is good news for communities both in Liverpool and Spain.
“These arrests would not have been possible without close cooperation between police forces in the UK and our law enforcement colleagues in Spain and Portugal.
“There are still a number of fugitives on our most wanted list, and they should know we will never give up and we’re never far behind them.”
Detective Chief Inspector Cath Cummings recently said:
“Merseyside Police remains relentless in its pursuit of criminals and will leave no stone unturned.
“We will continue to work closely with other law enforcement agencies, both in the UK, and overseas to trace those wanted for carrying out the most serious offences and bring them to justice.”
Lord Ashcroft, founder and chair of the charity Crimestoppers, recently said:
“Having this fugitive caught within days of two others is fantastic news and shows that the public, like us, want to protect our communities. It also proves how our joint Most Wanted campaign with the NCA to highlight those who are on the run is working successfully.
“If you know of someone who is on our list, please do the right thing and contact our charity either on the phone or online via our website. You’ll stay 100% anonymous. Always.”
Anyone with information about a fugitive on the NCA’s most wanted list is urged to call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Alternatively, members of the public can fill out an anonymous online form via their website.

BBC's Deborah James left in tears after raising £1m in just 24 hours - 'Blown away'
DEBORAH JAMES has taken to Instagram to share her shock over the total raised for her chosen charity after she announced yesterday she was being moved to a hospice.
Deborah James: Lorraine Kelly discusses their 'special bond'
Deborah James, 40, announced the news in a heartbreaking post that she had been moved to hospice care as her "body simply isn't playing ball". The BBC broadcaster took to Instagram today and shared her gratitude as her fund has surpassed £1 million in donations.
I'm utterly blown away by your generosity!
Deborah took to her Instagram story earlier today and shared a screenshot of the BowelBabe Fund page, with the total at the time being £642,930.
The post read: "I'm utterly blown away by your generosity over the last 12 hours! To think you have raised over £600k for vital research it just filling me with so much love. You are the kindest people. Thank you."
The updated total at present is £1,293,567.
In view of her 467,000 followers, she penned: "I never in my wildest dreams thought we'd be waking up to this total 12 hours later.
"I'm actually crying! Because I know we can continue to help fund some really vital projects @cr_uk @royalmarsden and at @bowelcanceruk with this money."

Her new charity fund, Bowelbabe Fund is for Cancer Research UK, with all donations going to the organisation.
Deborah has been battling stage four bowel cancer since she was diagnosed in December 2016, being told early that she might not live beyond five years.
She took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking message that she was being moved to a hospice as her body is unable to fight anymore.
Deborah penned: "The message I never wanted to write. We have tried everything, but my body simply isn’t playing ball.
"My active care has stopped and I am now moved to hospice at home care, with my incredible family all around me and the focus is on making sure I’m not in pain and spending time with them.
"Nobody knows how long I’ve got left but I’m not able to walk, I’m sleeping most of the days, and most things I took for granted are pipe dreams.
She continued: "I know we have left no stone unturned. But even with all the innovative cancer drugs in the world or some magic new breakthrough, my body just can’t continue anymore.
"In over 5 years of writing about how I thought it would be my final Christmas, how I wouldn’t see my 40th birthday nor see my kids go to secondary school - I never envisaged writing the one where I would actually say goodbye. I think it’s been the rebellious hope in me.
"But I don’t think anyone can say the last 6 months has been exactly kind! It’s all heartbreaking to be going through but I’m surrounded by so much love that if anything can help me through I hope that will."

She continued: "I always knew there was one thing I always wanted to do before I died. I have always over the years raised as much awareness and money for the charities that are closest to me. @cr_uk @royalmarsden @bowelcanceruk.
"As a result, the @bowelbabefund is being established and I’d love nothing more than for you to help it flourish. Please visit bowelbabe.org for all the info and to donate (link in Bio).
"All I ask is if you ever read a column, followed my Instagram, listened to the podcast or saw me dressed as a poo for no reason.
"Please buy me a drink to see me out of this world, by donating the cost to @bowelbabefund which will enable us to raise funds for further life saving research into cancer. To give more Deborah’s more time!
"Right now for me, it’s all about taking it a day at a time, step by step and being grateful for another sunrise.
"My whole family are around me and we will dance through this together, sunbathing and laughing (I’ll cry!!) at every possible moment!"
Deborah shares Hugo, 14, and Eloise, 12, with her husband Sebastien Bowen. | https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1608138/Deborah-James-donations-cancer-battle-hospice-care-Instagram-news-update-latest | 2022-05-10T15:11:48Z | https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1608138/Deborah-James-donations-cancer-battle-hospice-care-Instagram-news-update-latest | false | 1 |

INDIANAPOLIS (WXIN) — Associates of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle were sentenced to decades in prison Monday for producing, possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material.
Russell Taylor, age 50, and his ex-wife, 40-year-old Angela Baldwin, were sentenced to 27 and 33 years in prison, respectively.
The U.S. Department of Justice said the investigation into Taylor, Baldwin and Fogle began in 2014, when an acquaintance of Taylor and Baldwin told Indiana State Police that Taylor had offered to send her child sexual abuse material. In 2015, a search warrant was executed at Taylor and Baldwin’s home, and child sexual abuse material was found on multiple electronic devices, per the DOJ.
Taylor and Fogle were charged, pled guilty and convicted in 2015. Taylor appealed, and his conviction was vacated in 2020. The DOJ said during the re-investigation that followed, investigators discovered evidence that implicated Baldwin, and she was charged with production of child sex abuse material, possession of child sex abuse material and conspiracy to produce child sex abuse material.
Taylor and Baldwin worked together and with others, including Fogle, to produce, possess and distribute child sexual abuse material between 2011 and 2015, the DOJ said. Taylor and Baldwin placed hidden cameras in their house to secretly record children naked and/or engaging in sexual activity.
Taylor pled guilty in June of 2021 to multiple offenses, including 24 counts of producing child sexual abuse material. Baldwin was convicted in October of 2021 of two counts of production of child sexual abuse material, one count of conspiracy to produce child sexual abuse material and one count of possession of child sexual abuse material.
“Russell Taylor and Angela Baldwin not only abused children by producing child sexual abuse material in their home, but also re-victimized children over and over again by contributing to the distribution of these images,” said FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Herbert J. Stapleton.
In court Monday, Taylor and Baldwin learned they would be sentenced to decades in prison as the survivors of what U.S. District Judge Tonya Walton Pratt called “horrific” abuse watched and testified in a downtown Indianapolis federal courtroom.
One told the Court that she engaged in self-mutilation after the abuse became known.
“You had no right to do this to me or any of the other children,” she scolded Taylor, who sat at the defense table in a green prison jumpsuit.
Another woman testified that she suffers from separation anxiety and will never allow her children to attend sleepovers at friends’ homes.
A third said she has lost the ability to trust and love.
In all, nine young girls told investigators that they had been groomed, plied with drugs and alcohol, introduced to sex toys and were assaulted by both Taylor and Baldwin, often on video which was shared between Taylor and Fogle who texted he wanted to meet one of the children or take her on a business road trip.
“My actions hurt you,” Taylor told the survivors gathered with victims’ rights advocates and a service dog in the courtroom. “I violated your guys’ trust.”
Taylor admitted he “selfishly viewed you as instruments for our own desires.”
Judge Pratt noted the role that Taylor’s guilty plea, and his cooperation in revealing the roles Fogle and Baldwin, played in sentencing him once again to 27 years in prison.
“The defendant ruined these girls’ lives,” said the judge.
Taylor has already served seven years of his previous sentence and will receive credit toward his new term.
The judge was not as lenient with Baldwin.
Survivors, including Baldwin’s young relatives, related that she sexually abused them and said her text messages recorded her gleeful responses. She also threw a laptop computer with explicit child pornography videos into Fall Creek, swallowed a SIM card from a cell phone and told victims to lie to investigators.
One survivor told WXIN that in the five years between the arrests of Fogle and Taylor and her own indictment, Baldwin asked one of the teenagers to accompany her on a speaking engagement at a school as she portrayed herself as a domestic violence victim.
Baldwin’s attorney told the court that her client, as Taylor’s wife, “did it for him.” The defendant also testified that she was overtaken by fear.
“I hurt those that I loved, utterly destroying my family,” she said. “I am not the person I was back then.”
Judge Pratt wasn’t buying it.
“It’s a crime what you did to these children,” said Judge Pratt, calling the abuse “egregious.”
Judge Pratt then sentenced Baldwin to more than 33 years in federal prison, enough time to afford her the mental health services the court determined she needs.
The court found that Baldwin was abusing children even when Taylor was out of town on business trips.
“She can’t blame those instances on Russell Taylor,” said Judge Pratt.
Baldwin told the judge she would appeal her conviction and sentence. | https://kfor.com/news/jared-fogle-associates-sentenced-for-child-porn/ | 2022-05-10T15:12:20Z | https://kfor.com/news/jared-fogle-associates-sentenced-for-child-porn/ | false | 15 |

Lordstown Motors needs more cash and soon. And management isn’t sure where they are going to get it.
Lordstown (ticker: RIDE) needs the cash to reach its 2022 production goals.

Looking beyond the battery to make electric cars go the distance
In many forms of electrical buses in use round Australia, the motor successfully cuts out when the bus is travelling downhill to avoid wasting battery cost, and the power generated by the brakes is harnessed and used to partially recharge the battery.
Klink and his colleagues are working to develop additional efficiencies.
“We’re working on producing a more efficient power train,” he says. “We’re working on more efficient disc motors rather than cylinder motors, wrapping carbon fibre around motors to spin them faster, which means they give the same power with less weight.”
He can also be wanting into 3D-printing of coils, so options reminiscent of warmth sinks might be instantly built-in. This, he says, means the coils can take care of further warmth, so extra present might be run by means of them.
Even earlier than the battle in Ukraine and the ensuing soar in oil costs all over the world, take-up of electrical autos was rising quickly. There had been greater than 20,000 electrical autos bought in Australia in 2021, in comparison with simply 6900 in 2020.
Both the Coalition and Labor have made marquee bulletins on electrical automobile assist and infrastructure within the present federal election marketing campaign.
The coalition has pledged as much as $250 million, $178 million of which is new cash, to construct 50,000 charging stations in Australian properties, as a part of its Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy plan.

Labor, in the meantime, is promising to introduce an electrical automotive subsidy to make EVs extra reasonably priced, and has pledged to assist community infrastructure by means of such initiatives as putting in 400 “community batteries” in suburbs and cities, in a package deal value $250 million over three years.
The federal commitments observe a number of state-based initiatives to assist EVs, together with Queensland’s “electric highway” of charging stations alongside the east coast, which in concept would enable an EV to drive from the Gold Coast to Cairns.
Just this week NSW introduced a $20 million grant program to put in 3000 electrical automobile chargers throughout the state to assist the takeup of EVs.

But electrical autos are nonetheless solely a part of the long run transport image. Klink says EVs will kind a part of vary of transport choices, utilising a variety of gasoline sources.
Hydrogen, particularly, is seen as a attainable different to electrical autos, with quite a lot of Australian states organising hydrogen manufacturing pipelines.
Hydrogen as a gasoline supply is generated by both cracking extra complicated gases like methane, or by splitting water into its element hydrogen and oxygen atoms utilizing electrolysis.
Klink says it’s seemingly hydrogen might be utilized in bigger autos reminiscent of vehicles and buses, as it’s not very environment friendly gasoline for small passenger autos.
As such, he believes there’s a have to develop programs to assist electrical autos of various sizes, whereas additionally supporting hydrogen for extra strong makes use of. “A rough comparison is the current split between diesel and petrol fuels,” he says. “Most personal vehicles and many larger vehicles use petrol, but then you have vehicles that use diesel for more robust uses.”
“I think a similar split between electric and hydrogen fuel could end up becoming the norm.”
Either means, Klink says Australia now must look significantly at options to petrol automobiles, or threat being left behind by the remainder of the world.
“Less demand for petrol in the long term will only make prices go up, and Australia is only a small player on the global stage,” he says. “We are dependent on the rest of the world.
“If Australia stayed 100 per cent with petrol cars, and the US, Europe and China decide EVs are the new normal, then where will the fuel come from?”
“We need to make these plans now.”
